Zhu Qizhen thought about it carefully and felt that Liu Zhongshi's question was indeed very critical.

It's really all under control, and when the time comes, like earlier, someone can secretly swallow it, and then there will be no place to cry.

However, after hesitating, Zhu Qizhen felt that there was still something that could be used, so he followed Liu Zhongfu's words and said:

"This is a good reminder, we can use this way to correct the behavior of those merchants, not to ignore and not to control everything, but to participate in the market.

The grain harvest is abundant, the grain is sold in short supply, and the stability of the basic life of the people and the border is maintained.

There are also things that are indispensable to the people, such as cotton cloth, which must be participated in by the imperial court, but not all of them.

You can come up with a charter for specific things, and that's all I have for the time being. ”

Chen Xun clapped his hands and applauded: "The emperor is really a saint!" In this way, it has solved the problem of weak national taxation since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

and being able to benefit from the people, it is really a success, Your Majesty! ”

The rest of the ministers also thought of the key to this, although things such as salt tea have always been monopolies, but private salt has been repeatedly banned, and even officials at all levels have participated.

If the imperial court itself is also involved in the specific operation, it can be used as an industry benchmark, and it will not make the imperial court trapped in manpower during the special period.

is a feasible approach, and some people have even thought of a more far-reaching direction.

Everyone saluted in unison and said, "The emperor is sage! ”

Who doesn't love sycophants, especially in their early twenties, is when vanity swells.

Zhu Qizhen was full of comfort, and he accidentally crossed the era.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to be a model first, and it's better to have a stable model and then spread it out.

Otherwise, once the person who does the work is wrong, it will damage the emperor's holy virtue! Yu Qian interrupted the harmonious atmosphere.

Zhu Qizhen immediately nodded and said, "What Yu Shangshu said makes sense!"

In addition, the trading houses affiliated to the imperial court are not yamen, they only do business, and they are no different from merchants in the market, and they cannot be treated differently. ”

"Yes!" This time, even Yu Qian saluted together.

It was not early, Zhu Qizhen asked the ministers to go back and come up with a plan as soon as possible, the sky was already dark, and it was time to eat.

"Pass the meal!" Jin Ying shouted, and the officials outside the door began to attack with various dishes.

Zhu Qi calmly looked at it: pepper and vinegar shrimp, roast goose, burn sheep's head and hoof,

Goose meat, salty drum mustard lamb tripe plate, garlic vinegar white blood soup, five-flavor steamed chicken, sheep bones in yuan sauce,

Spicy vinegar kidney, steamed fresh fish, five-flavor steamed noodles, mutton crystal horns, silk goose powder soup,

Three fresh soups, chess noodles with beans, lamb with minced peppers, fragrant rice, garlic cheese, bean soup, tea, and a few dim sum.

There are more than 20 dishes alone, and there are few vegetables, almost all of which are meat.

Rao was prepared, and Zhu Qizhen, who had heard of the famous Manchu and Han Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, felt that this meal was too rich to eat alone.

"Jin Ying, how many people are there in Shangshan Prison?" Zhu Qizhen asked curiously.

Jin Yingleng paused, and after a few seconds, he replied: "Your Majesty, there are about 900 people. ”

Nine hundred? Nine hundred people needed to cook a meal? So exaggerated?

Zhu Qizhen was a little surprised, and after suppressing his excitement, he asked again: "What about Guanglu Temple?" ”

"It's not very clear about the slaves and maids in Guanglu Temple, but there should still be thousands of people." Jin Ying replied with some uncertainty.

"Hiss~ so many people?" Zhu Qizhen gasped, this moved thousands of people.

The annual income is a lot of money, which is unimaginable for him to save to his home before.

But before Zhu Qizhen could continue to understand the situation, a guest suddenly came to the door.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" The eunuch outside the door shouted, and then Queen Qian entered the door.

"Your Majesty!" Queen Qian bowed.

Zhu Qizhen asked with some doubts: "Is the queen looking for me?" ”

But I heard Queen Qian say: "The concubine came uninvited, didn't disturb the emperor's meal, right?" ”

But there is no apology in his eyes.

Zhu Qizhen patted his head and hurriedly said, "The queen hasn't had dinner yet, right?" Together, right? ”

Queen Qian smiled and said, "Then the concubine is better to be respectful." ”

As he spoke, he sat down next to Zhu Qizhen, picked up a piece of mutton for Zhu Qizhen with both hands, and sent it to Zhu Qizhen's mouth with one hand.

"Your Majesty, you taste this, today's mutton seems to be exceptionally delicious." Queen Qian's eyes were as tender as water.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly felt a little awkward, that day in the Huagai Palace, when he met Queen Qian for the first time, he subconsciously became his daughter-in-law.

But maybe a single dog in his previous life still can't completely forget the reason for those memories.

As time passed, he couldn't fully see Queen Qian as his wife, and he always felt a little estranged.

But looking at those eyes full of expectation, Zhu Qizhen couldn't bear to live up to her kindness.

had to open his mouth with a smile and eat this mouthful of mutton full of warmth, making up for his single dog shortcomings.

What made him feel even more guilty was that the previous crush had always remained in his heart, and he felt that he couldn't betray his youth, but he was indeed her husband......

"Mmmm, okay, delicious, I can come by myself, and you can eat the vegetables too, queen." As he spoke, he put a mouthful of food into Queen Qian's bowl.

Queen Qian was naturally very happy, chewing and swallowing slowly with gratitude, and then continued to look at Zhu Qizhen with eyes full of love and dependence.

Queen, you can eat, don't keep looking at me...... I know you love me, but you don't need to say that......

"Zhou Guifei asks to see!" Just when the atmosphere at the table was a little awkward, the voice of Xianzong's biological mother Zhou Guifei begging to see her came from outside the door.

Zhu Qizhen has two big heads, one is not enough, and another one, I have no experience in dealing with women......

I could only invite in weakly, but as soon as I heard that Zhou Guifei was also here, Queen Qian began to sit upright, which also slightly alleviated Zhu Qizhen's embarrassment.

I saw a girl dressed in a concubine costume enter the door, compared to Queen Qian Zhou Guifei's temperament is more cold, especially like an actor in later generations.

"The emperor is saintly, the queen is auspicious!" said respectfully and gave a blessing.

"Good, no courtesy! Come and sit down. Zhu Qizhen instructed Jin Ying.

But Zhou Guifei gave another salute and said: "Thank you, Emperor, I heard that the emperor returned to the palace, and I came to ask the emperor for peace."

Seeing that the emperor is really fine, he is relieved, so he will not disturb your meal, and the concubine will retire. ”

said that he was really leaving, without any nostalgia.

"Sister, why are you leaving, you're here, let's eat together!" Queen Qian grabbed Zhou Guifei, who was leaving, and said.

Zhu Qizhen didn't want the third party to leave, so why don't you accompany him to relieve the embarrassment after eating this meal?

So he also said: "Aifei, it just so happens that I haven't eaten with you for a long time, since I'm here, let's eat together." ”

Seeing that the emperor and the queen had spoken, Zhou Guifei naturally had no choice but to leave.

So he sat down on Zhu Qizhen's right side, but the scene after that was very different from what Zhu Qizhen expected.

Zhou Guifei, who has a cold temper, adheres to the rule of eating without sleeping or saying a word from beginning to end, and almost does not say a word except for the occasional pick-up.

And Queen Qian was also in the presence of Zhou Guifei, so it was difficult to take out the posture of a little woman, and she was also sitting upright and not smiling.

Zhu Qizhen, who originally wanted to relieve the atmosphere, really ate the fruit of this meal, but he couldn't eat it after a few bites in a hurry.

"The emperor is saintly, the queen is auspicious, and the concubines are retired." Concubine Zhou retired after eating, leaving Zhu Qizhen alone with the queen.

Queen Qian looked at Zhu Qizhen affectionately, and was about to speak, but Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said: "Jinluan, I haven't gone to the queen mother's place to ask for peace since I returned to the palace, why don't you go with me." ”

Queen Qian must be indispensable, and the two of them set up Renshou Palace after dinner and went to see the Empress Dowager Sun together.

Along the way, Queen Qian talked to Zhu Qizhen from time to time, chatting about the elegance of the poems and essays of the wind and snow.

Zhu Qizhen's embarrassed mood eased a lot, and by the time he arrived at Renshou Palace, he had already unloaded the unnaturalness.

"Greetings to the Queen Mother." Zhu Qizhen and Queen Qian knelt down and saluted.

Empress Dowager Sun had already gotten Tongbing and knew that the emperor was coming, but seeing the two of them doing such a big gift, she was still a little surprised and surprised by her son's recent maturity.

"Zhen'er, you two get up quickly, what are you doing with this vulgar ceremony when you come to your mother?" Empress Dowager Sun complained in her words, but her tone was happy.

Zhu Qizhen and Queen Qian did not sit down, but ran to the Empress Dowager Sun to pinch her back and shoulder for the Empress Dowager.

Zhu Qizhen lost his father at an early age, and his grandmother was strict since he was a child, only this mother has always protected him, how can he not have deep feelings?

This experience can be regarded as completely making up for his shortcomings as an orphan.

"Go down, all of you." Zhu Qizhen, the person who retired from the palace, pinched his shoulders and said, "Queen Mother, my son has made you worried!" ”

Empress Dowager Sun wiped her moist eyes, patted Zhu Qizhen's hand and said:

"As long as the emperor is good and can do more for the people of the world, I, the daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, can be regarded as worthy of your father who went early, and the ancestors and ancestors."

"Although my mother is worried about you, I can't do anything as a woman in major national affairs.

Mother can only silently pray for your safe return, fortunately the ancestors blessed, the emperor not only came back safely, but also solved the border trouble in one fell swoop. Your father must be proud of you. ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed in his heart after hearing this, it was not his arrival, and he could listen to it all the way around.

Not only did they not come back safely, but they also killed the elite Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty, and the military strength was almost empty......

"Mother, don't comfort your son. After this big war, the son also figured out a lot.

Fortunately, my Ming soldiers are brave enough to drive Warat out of the country, and my son will definitely remember your teachings, inherit my father's legacy, and create a peaceful and prosperous world! ”

Empress Dowager Sun turned her head violently, and the relief in her eyes contained tears.

Zhu Qizhen's heart was also sour, and he hurriedly caught the falling tears with his hands.

"The emperor has really grown up, and his mother is very content." Empress Dowager Sun smiled, her voice mixed with tremors.

There was a scene of filial piety between the mother and the son, and Queen Qian was also churning with her heart, and she could hardly help herself.

After that, there was only ordinary small talk, not like a royal family but more like a homely farmer.

From time to time, Zhu Qizhen also used jokes from later generations to amuse the old man, although the two women who loved him didn't understand it very well, they still laughed together, and the company in the deep palace was even more precious.
