Queen Ma did not answer Lan Yunfeng's words immediately.

If she wanted to hide her identity, it would be too easy, no matter how shrewd Lan Yunfeng was, she would never see any flaws.

But in the face of the sincere Lan Yunfeng, Queen Ma suddenly felt that she should not deceive her.

Although the two sides have not known each other for a long time, they can be regarded as sisters who have really made friends.

This kind of sister, Queen Ma has really never had one in her life.

After all, whether it was before or now, her identity is completely different from ordinary people.

Queen Ma has always been a woman with a sense of the overall situation, and it is precisely because of her overall view that she has sacrificed a lot.

And this time, when facing Lan Yunfeng, Queen Ma suddenly wanted to be presumptuous.

I really want to live for myself once.

However, Queen Ma is still Queen Ma after all.

After hesitating for a while, he didn't answer Lan Yunfeng's question for the first time.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Sister, I'm afraid I can't answer this question for the first time." ”

"Give me a day to think about it, and if I think it through, tomorrow I will tell you who I really am."

Lan Yunfeng was not angry, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "I understand your difficulties, Sister Ma, if you are really inconvenient to say, it's okay not to tell me." ”

"Whoever you are doesn't get in the way of the sisterhood between us."

"I just hope that if my sister can't tell me, she can just follow me."

In the second half of the sentence, Lan Yunfeng did not explain directly.

But Queen Ma understood what it meant.

If you don't want to say your identity, then don't say it, instead of making up an identity to deceive him.

Queen Ma patted Lan Yufeng's hand gently, and everything was silent.

At night.

When Zhu Yuanzhang came back from Yanjing Yamen, he found that the room where he lived was brightly lit.

When I opened the door and entered the house, the living room of the house was already full of all kinds of meals.

"And it can be seen from the style of these dishes that these are all dishes cooked by Queen Ma herself." Zhu Yuanzhang sat down with a smile.

"The queen has a different plan today."

said so, but Zhu Yuanzhang still picked up the chopsticks very skillfully and took a bite of his favorite dish: "Sure enough, it's a sister, you cooked it yourself." ”

Queen Ma put the last dish on the table: "You can't stop your mouth from eating, if you don't like to burn my dishes, I won't burn them in the future." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly apologized: "When did I say I didn't like it?" It's just a little surprising, aren't you busy doing business with that male shopkeeper right now? How can you still have time to cook such a large table of dishes? ”

Queen Ma gave Zhu Yuanzhang a big roll of his eyes: "I don't believe you don't know Lan Yun's current situation." ”

"The bidding meeting of Lanyunzhai can affect the interests of the vast majority of merchants in Yanjing, if the yamen doesn't even know about this thing, then there is no difference between the yamen in Yanjing and the Yingtianfu."

Zhu Yuanzhang drank a glass of wine, pretending to be angry and complaining: "This blue shopkeeper is really not an ordinary person, just make a little movement, you can cause such a big wave." ”

"During this time, someone has even come to our yamen to sue the shopkeeper."

"What?" When Queen Ma heard this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She has been in Lan Yunzhai recently, but she doesn't know what Lan Yunzhai has done to violate the daimyo.

There are no commercial disputes, how can anyone sue Lan Yunzhai?

"Didn't the shopkeeper Lan say that he would hold a bidding meeting, but there was no movement for a long time, and those businessmen were in a hurry."

"They don't really want to do anything to Lan Yunzhai? It's just that in this way, I just want to force Lan Yunzhai to bid as soon as possible. ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" Queen Ma was a little angry: "What do these people think of "Da Ming Law"? ”

Lao Zhu also snorted coldly: "There is a saying in Qiwu that is too right, although these businessmen are capable, but the court has to guard against them, for their own depression, they can do anything." ”

"But don't worry, Queen, we won't agree to this kind of improper demand, Yanjing will not agree to it, we have already sent them away, some of them are really troublesome, and we gave them some warnings."

"We know that you have a good relationship with Lan Yunfeng, of course you won't cause trouble to our queen."

"In that case, the concubine can thank Your Majesty for taking care of you." said that he was still pretending, and toasted Zhu Yuanzhang with a glass of wine.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down the wine glass and looked at his queen with a smile: "Sister, now I have eaten the meal and drunk the wine." Just tell me what you're doing. ”

Both of them are old husbands and wives, and neither of them can hide their thoughts from each other.

Queen Ma said generously: "Chongba, I want to tell her my true identity." ”

"Huh?" Even the well-informed Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but be shocked.

He originally thought that Queen Ma was hoping to win a little official support for Lan Yunfeng.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang had already thought about it, he actually didn't mind giving Lan Yunfeng a little special care.

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang has any special thoughts about Lan Yunfeng.

The main thing is that Zhu Han also told him that the current Ming Dynasty is in a stage of rapid development.

In this case, Daming's manpower is absolutely insufficient.

In order not to affect the development of the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely necessary to increase the number of people.

But where is the matter of population, which can be said to be increased by increasing?

It is impossible to have more than ten or twenty years, and if it really drags on for so long, it will definitely delay the development of the Ming Dynasty.

But what if it's to replenish the foreign population?

The current Ming Dynasty is not the same as the future market.

In later generations, Huaxia was surpassed by foreigners because of science and technology, so it is inevitable that there are many people who worship foreign countries and think that everything in foreign countries is good.

This situation will never happen in Daming, and the current Daming is far ahead in all aspects.

Even Confucianism is far superior to other doctrines of the same era.

As the people of the Ming Dynasty, looking at other people of foreign races is no different from looking at monkeys.

Especially Lao Zhu, who has just driven away the alien Meng Yuan and restored the orthodoxy of China, he looks down on those foreigners.

What's more, with the blessing of all kinds of black technologies that Zhu Han came up with, the army of the Ming Dynasty almost crushed those clans.

Lao Zhu naturally looked down on them even more.

Therefore, if you want to increase the population, you can basically only find a way in China.

If you can't directly increase the population in a short period of time, finding a way to get women to work has naturally become the only option.

Especially because of the continuous war, which has led to more women than men.

If all the women of the Daimyo can come out to work, at least the labor force of the Ming Dynasty will be doubled at once.

Even if women are still inferior to men in many ways, the number can definitely make up for the gap in other aspects.

Therefore, although Lao Zhu doesn't like women very much, they come out to show up.

But as long as these women are really capable of doing things, he doesn't mind giving them a chance.

Lan Yunfeng naturally proved himself in front of Lao Zhu.

Lao Zhu is the kind of person who is very pragmatic, what rules and traditions, he doesn't value them.

But if these rules are broken, tradition can bring tangible benefits to the Ming Dynasty, and Lao Zhu will definitely not take these dross to heart.

Because of this, he was already ready to let Liu Ji tilt some resources towards Lan Yunfeng.

With Lan Yunzhai's current size, the imperial court doesn't even need to do anything.

It only takes a little bit of attitude to be able to make Lan Yunzhai get huge benefits.

Queen Ma begged him to do something at this time, and of course Zhu Yuanzhang would agree to come down with the boat.

It's just that Lao Zhu never thought that his queen would make such a big battle, cooking and pouring wine.

In the end, she just wanted to tell Lan Yunfeng her true identity.

If it were someone else, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely agree if he didn't want to.

But to expose his true identity.

Zhu Yuanzhang did hesitate.

It is almost certain that as long as Queen Ma tells Lan Yunfeng his true identity, his whereabouts with Queen Ma will definitely not be hidden.

However, seeing the expectant eyes of his queen, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to refuse.

For so many years, Queen Ma has been working hard for him, and she has never asked for anything.

It's rare to open his mouth once, does he really want to refuse?

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice, "Can the queen think about it clearly?" ”

"That Lan Yunfeng doesn't know your identity now, so I can really have a relationship with you."

"But once she knows that you are the current queen, I'm afraid his mind will change."

"We understand, sister, you have a deep sisterhood with her, so you don't want to hide it from her."

"But sometimes, we feel that it's not a good thing to hide it."

After expressing his worries, Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "But if the girl wants to say it, we will never object." ”

"It's just that if you leak your identity, sister, I'm afraid we'll have to leave Yanjing City immediately."

"The pros and cons of this need to be weighed by yourself, girl."

"I know." Queen Ma nodded with a complicated expression.

His talent is not under Zhu Yuanzhang, so he naturally knows what kind of results may happen if he confesses his true identity to Lan Yunfeng.

But she and Lan Yunfeng really have a relationship, and they really don't want to hide it from her like this.

In fact, the reason why Lao Zhu did not refuse was because he had already seen the situation in Yanjing almost as well.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you have a complete understanding of the situation on Yanjing's side.

It's just a quick look, and I've already seen eight or nine.

After all, after being the emperor for so many years, Lao Zhu now gradually understands what the emperor should do.

There are some things that he doesn't need to know in detail at all.

Just know a rough idea and make sure that the officials below don't have major problems in the process of implementation.

As for the rest of the trivial issues, that is what those officials should deal with, and if he, the emperor, is to decide everything, then what else do those officials do?

The situation is the same on Yanjing's side, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't need to understand those detailed terms at all.

As long as he understands that there are some basic rules on how officials should do and how to do things, as long as they do not cross the line, what those officials do is their own business.

And yourself, as the supreme leader, just need to know the result.

There are so many things on Yanjing's side, and in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, they are not even inferior to the tide meeting on the side of Yingtianfu.

But Liu Song, who is the supervisor of Yanjing, although he is also busy on weekdays, he definitely deals with much less things than when Lao Zhu himself was the emperor.

The reason why this is so is because Liu Song also grasps the big and lets go of the small, and some things that are not particularly important are handed over to the officials below to do by themselves.

And he himself only needs to take care of the financial power, after all, as long as there is no money, nothing can be done.

And this practice is the same above the court.

It's just that there are still some differences between the court and the locality, but as long as the army is firmly grasped, the rest of the things will make no difference.

So after finding out the situation on Yanjing's side, Lao Zhu suddenly felt that there was no need to continue to stay in Yanjing.

Anyway, he now knew that Yanjing, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, had already surpassed Yingtianfu several times in prosperity.

The rest doesn't need to be looked at carefully, anyway, the capital will be moved here in the future, and there will be time to see it.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Queen Ma, who had already made a decision, directly found Lan Yunfeng.

"Looks like my sister has already made a decision?" Lan Yunfeng said a little nervously.

Even being so cautious about an identity, Lan Yunfeng felt that her sister Ma was definitely not from an ordinary family.

Maybe it's the wife of a prince and nobleman.

Originally, he just thought that Queen Ma's identity was not bad, so Lan Yunfeng also deliberately approached Hope to hug a thigh.

But she never thought that she might have hugged an incomparably thick thigh.

Queen Ma didn't speak directly, but glanced at Lan Yunfeng.

The two have known each other for so long, and their tacit understanding with each other has long been formed.

Lan Yunfeng immediately understood, and directly instructed the subordinates who served around him: "I have something to say to Sister Ma, you all go down." ”

Family members are not very unfamiliar with this situation, after all, when Lan Yunfeng talks about business with others, he often has some inconvenient things to say.

The servants exited the room with great ease.

Even though she had already made a decision, Queen Ma suddenly found that when facing Lan Yunfeng, he was still a little speechless.

It's not that she has any scruples, as Zhu Yuanzhang said, Queen Ma is also worried that Lan Yufeng's mentality will change after she knows her true identity.

When the time comes, the once deep sisterhood will immediately become a thing of the past.

Her relationship with Lan Yunfeng will also become a simple exchange of interests like others.

However, Queen Ma is Queen Ma after all, and since she has made a decision, she quickly put those worries aside.

Queen Ma Zhanyan smiled slightly: "I visited this time to tell my sister my true identity, but I don't know if my sister wants to hear it or not." ”

"Of course I ......" Lan Yunfeng only said half of it, and then he couldn't say any more.
