Chapter 204: I'll give you a start
In the early morning of the next day, the hundred officials went to the morning court as usual.
Sure enough, Zhu Qizhen was the same as usual...... Didn't come!
It's no wonder that he doesn't like to get up early on weekdays, and he can't get up in the cold winter, how comfortable it is in the bed!
It wasn't until the third day of the day, when all the officials had retreated, that he opened his sleepy eyes and sat up from the bed.
Queen Qian had already dressed up, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are awake, and the concubine is waiting for you to dress." ”
Two beautiful palace maids twisted their waists and walked in with broken steps, holding various clothes in their hands, Queen Qian took it and helped Zhu Qizhen dress neatly.
"Your Majesty, breakfast is ready."
The meals in the palace are not all delicacies from the mountains and seas, in the morning it is rice porridge and steamed cakes, plus two side dishes and a few pieces of dim sum.
Wynne waited for a long time, until he saw a palace maid remove the bowl, and then he came in to report.
"Your Majesty, what you ordered yesterday, the slave and maid have already arranged."
Zhu Qizhen asked, "Which one did you choose?" ”
"Back to the emperor, there are three Huangzhuang near Jingshi, namely Tangshanzhuang in Changping County, Baitazhuang in Sanhe County, and No. 4 Factory Guanzhuang outside Chaoyangmen, and the closest to Jingshi is No. 4 Factory Guanzhuang outside Chaoyangmen."
Zhu Qizhen nodded and stood up: "Then let's go!" ”
Huai En hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please wait for a while, and the slaves and maids will arrange the guards and the royal chariot!" ”
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Don't be so troublesome, you tell Fan Zhong and ask him to arrange a few guards to change into civilian clothes and follow me around!" ”
Huai En was a little undecided, the emperor left the palace, so hasty, in case something went wrong, he had a few heads enough to cut off......
Zhu Qizhen glanced at him impatiently: "Hurry up, what's the ink?" ”
Wynne hesitated: "The emperor's safety is the most important, there are few followers, what if someone is unfavorable to the emperor?" Seeing the slaves and maids, it is better to gather more Han generals to escort them, so as to be safe. ”
Zhu Qizhen seemed to have heard something funny, and said, "Could it be that there is still a thief under my nose?" I'm going around at the door of my house, and I'm going to bring a hundred and eighty guards, and I'm not afraid of people's jokes? ”
These words stunned Wynne, and he was speechless.
At that moment, he no longer insisted, but said: "The slave maid went to prepare the royal chariot." ”
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "I ride a horse!" ”
Huaien hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the road is bumpy, and the carriage is not as comfortable as the imperial chariot......"
Zhu Qizhen said impatiently: "I'm not from Paper Lake, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and prepare!" ”
Huai En was frightened, turned around and trotted away after saluting, and Queen Qian next to him said eloquently: "Your Majesty, Huai En is also kind, don't blame him." ”
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "I don't really blame him, by the way, what I told you last night, have you arranged it?" ”
Queen Qian said: "I have arranged for female officials to count, Your Majesty, the concubine has something to say, I don't know if I should talk about it......"
"You and I, husband and wife, what can't we talk about?"
"The emperor asked for statistics on the relevant situation of the palace maids, and the concubine didn't understand, so she was prepared...... Is the number of palace maids abolished? ”
"That's right!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "There is a folk saying, it is called that once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea, and they also have parents and brothers, and when they enter the palace, if they become concubines and nobles, the family can still follow with some light, but most of them can only be a palace maid for the rest of their lives, serving tea and water every day, washing and cooking, and the good youth is wasted, don't you think it's a pity?" ”

"But...... It's always been ......"
Queen Qian is kind-hearted, but she can't get rid of the shackles of history, in her heart, aren't these all things taken for granted?
Since ancient times, who has been the emperor, which is not the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, and the three thousand beauties and beautiful women in the harem, otherwise, what is the emperor trying to be?
As for these three thousand beauties, it is as Zhu Qizhen said, only a very few have the opportunity to come out.
Don't think that if you enter the palace, you will be able to get ahead.
If you want to get ahead, you must first be favored by the emperor, to put it bluntly, you have to be slept with by the emperor, and then, you have to be pregnant with the dragon seed!
For example, the queen and concubines are carefully selected, and the emperor's marriage to his daughter-in-law is a national event, which needs to be led by the Ministry of Rites, negotiated by various ministries, first check whether the life experience is innocent, and then see if it looks beautiful, and then with the consent of the queen mother and other elders, it can finally be finalized.
And the whole process, the emperor himself is not involved.
As for ordinary palace maids, the selection process is also quite cumbersome, and if you enter the palace, if you are lucky, you will be favored by the emperor before you are qualified to go to bed.
If you are pregnant, you will be crowned a nobleman, and if you give birth to a prince, you will be further crowned as a concubine.
No matter how lucky he is, this prince becomes the crown prince, or even the new emperor, and that is really the beginning.
However, if you have slept with the emperor and are not pregnant, it will be miserable!
It is better to pray that you will be able to die before the emperor.
Because, such a palace maid will inevitably appear on the list of funeral companions.
Ordinary women, if the unfortunate man dies, she can still remarry, but not in the palace, the emperor's woman remarries, even if you dare to change, who dares to marry?
Zhu Qizhen knows that many concepts can't be changed for a while, but it doesn't matter, everything has to take the first step.
The New Deal is about to be implemented, human resources are very valuable, men are going out to work, and women cannot be idle.
You can go to textile mills, cloth mills, tailor shops, etc., and work in places suitable for women.
All in all, the old notion that the door is not the right thing to do must be removed.
Since you want to open this mouth, let's take the lead first!
There are so many people in the harem, except for those who have slept with them, of course, they all slept with the God of War brother before the crossing, but since he took over this body, of course, he also had to take over.
The rest is counted, and according to your own wishes, you can choose whether to leave the palace or not.
Those who are willing to leave, the palace will be wrapped around the hair, contact the local government to receive, and those who are willing to stay, especially those who have nowhere to go, will try to improve some treatment for everyone in the future, all in all, human resources can not be wasted.
"There are some things that I can't explain clearly for a while, so I'll explain them to you later!"
Although Queen Qian didn't understand very much, she didn't say anything, just nodded and went down to make arrangements.
Out of Fengtianmen, Fan Zhong had already prepared three horses, Zhu Qizhen was now very fluent, and as soon as he turned over, he rode on horseback, but he saw Huai En trembling and climbing up, trying several times, but he didn't climb up, and he never seemed to have ridden a horse.
Zhu Qizhen couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "You better take the car!" ”
Huaien's face was pale: "The emperor wants to torture the slaves and maids, how can there be a reason for the emperor to ride a horse and the slave to sit in a car?" ”

"It's okay, you take the car, I ride a horse, if I really meet an assassin, I will run for you, don't you say?"

Wynne: ......
In desperation, he had to choose the smallest royal chariot, and even then, it was quite conspicuous.
The big red body is about one zhang high, about seven feet wide, about nine feet long, and there are four pure white horses in front of it, and the coachman is a Han general, but he wears civilian clothes.
Wynne carefully got into the carriage, the carriage was very spacious, with a set of red lacquered tables and chairs, and a curtain made of brocade cloth, on which was painted with a picture of a real dragon, because it was winter, and two charcoal basins were placed in the corner, and the whole carriage was warm and comfortable.
I only heard the coachman shout to drive, and the carriage rumbled and started slowly.
Sitting in such a luxurious and comfortable carriage, Wynne felt uneasy in his heart, no matter what, this life is worth it!
The carriage left the palace, crossed the streets and alleys, walked all the way to Chaoyangmen, and walked about five miles, and a wheat field appeared in front of him.
At this time, the city of Beijing has just snowed, and the wheat seedlings are covered with ice and snow, and the vast white is dotted with a little green, which is a unique scene.
Huaien hurriedly got out of the car and said, "Your Majesty, this is the No. 4 Village!" ”
There were already people in front of him, and the little eunuch headed by him was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thin figure, a shrewd look on his face, and said in a sharp voice: "The slave and the maid and the imperial horse supervisor are serving the imperial Xiao Jing to see the emperor!" ”
Zhu Qizhen paused in his heart after hearing the name, feeling familiar, in his memory, this person seems to be one of the few eunuchs in the team with a good reputation, the specific details are unknown, but there must be loyalty.
"Get up!"
Zhu Qizhen said that, took a step towards the village, and Huai En, Xiao Jing and others hurriedly followed.
Behind Xiao Jing, there were a few dealers who were about to step forward, but they were stopped by Fan Zhong.
Seeing this, Xiao Jing turned back and said to Fan Zhong with a smile: "Marquis Zhongwu, these are the heads of the Huangzhuang, when our family is not there on weekdays, they are responsible for the affairs of the village, let them follow." ”
Fan Zhong squinted at him and asked, "Are these people reliable?" ”
Xiao Jing hurriedly said: "Although the Marquis of Zhongwu can rest assured, they are all good people who have lived in Zhuangzi for generations, and our family dares to guarantee that it is absolutely reliable!" ”
Fan Zhong then said: "Then follow, remember, let them stay away, and the emperor can only get close when he summons him." ”
"Yes, yes, just as the Marquis of Zhongwu ordered!"
Seeing that the emperor was about to enter the village, Xiao Jing hurriedly caught up, Huai En grabbed him from behind, and asked in a low voice: "Last night, the emperor suddenly wanted to see the emperor's village, our family only informed you, time is pressing, how are you prepared?" ”
Xiao Jing lowered his voice and replied: "After the little one got the information, he immediately sent someone to clean the village and clean up the best house in the village, the loess mat road is really too late, as for the farmers in the village, the small one has told them not to go out, all stay at home, only a few are still in the field to make a show, otherwise, if the emperor sees no one around, wouldn't it be too fake?" ”
Wynne nodded and said, "That's the only way, I just hope that there will be no accidents at the moment, otherwise we can't afford to be guilty!" ”

[At the beginning of the civil fort, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty was a little panicked] 【】
Xiao Jing couldn't answer his words, he secretly pondered in his heart, and he didn't know what the emperor thought, he suddenly wanted to look at Huangzhuang, and he chose Zhuangzi, who was in charge of himself, I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing?
Zhu Qizhen entered the Zhuangzi without hurrying, looking around, the scale is not small, most of the houses are yellow mud for the wall, thatch for the top, the road is quite smooth, but it is relatively narrow, there are obvious traces of new soil paving, there are a lot of willow trees planted on both sides of the road, look at the diameter, at least more than ten years, it is winter, the leaves are all gone, bare.
Xiao Jing stepped forward and cautiously led the emperor and his entourage to a courtyard.
The courtyard is made of blue bricks and black tiles, very neat, the gatehouse is a little dilapidated, the two gates are open, there are already two rows of guards standing at the door, and even there are two guards with bows and arrows on the roof, vigilantly looking around.
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help frowning, and said to Huai En: "Didn't I tell you, don't bring so many guards. ”
Huai En's face was a little dazed, he scratched his head, and then looked at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, these are the horsemen of Dongchang, and the slaves and maids learned that the emperor was coming......
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, all withdraw!" ”
Xiao Jing hurriedly ordered to go down and let those guards take down, and then said: "Your Majesty, this is Zhuangtou's courtyard, the slaves and maids have been arranged, please let the emperor go in and rest." ”
Zhu Qizhen walked into the courtyard, facing three main houses, one side room on each side, some flowers and plants were planted in the yard, and the window paper of all the houses was white and flawless, and at a glance he knew that it was newly replaced.
The huge yard was spotless, and it seemed that it had been sprinkled with water, and it was impossible to walk with dust.
Came to the main room, there is a brand-new withered red sandalwood eucalyptus table in the middle, a set of blue and white porcelain tea sets on the eucalyptus table, behind the eucalyptus is a rosewood Taishi chair, a few seats are placed on both sides, and it is carefully arranged at a glance.
Zhu Qizhen sat down on the Taishi chair, raised his hand and said, "You all sit down, I am out on patrol in civilian clothes today, and there are not so many rules." ”
Huai En hurriedly said that he didn't dare, Xiao Jing waved his hand again and again, how dare he dare to be on an equal footing with the emperor?
Zhu Qizhen was impatient, and said, "Let you sit down, what nonsense!" ”
Only then did Huai En lean over and sit on the chair next to him, only daring to sit for a third of the time, Xiao Jing saw this, so he had to sit down as well.
"Xiao Jing, you first tell me about the general situation of this imperial village."
Xiao Jing's buttocks had just touched the chair, and when he heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and stood still.
"Your Majesty, this Zhuangzi is called No. 4 Factory Guanzhuang, with a total of more than 20,000 acres of land, 386 households, and a population of 2,135, including about 800 adult males."
Zhu Qizhen asked: "How much grain did you produce last year?" ”
"Back to the emperor, there was very little rain last year, so the harvest was not good, and the total grain production was more than 15,000 stones."
Zhu Qizhen nodded, and asked again, "How many livestock are there in the village?" ”
"There are 35 oxen and 50 mules and horses."
There are less than 100 cattle and horses in the Zhuangzi of more than 2,000 people, which is enough to show that the current cultivation still mainly relies on manpower.
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while, and then asked, "How is the land here watered on weekdays?" ”

Huai En was worried in his heart, and said in his heart What questions are you asking, this has to be yourself, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer one.
Xiao Jing said: "The irrigation fields mainly rely on the river outside the village, but since last year, the river has gradually dried up, and the slaves and maids have dug a few wells for the village to drink and irrigate. ”
Zhu Qizhen nodded secretly in his heart, and it could be seen that this Xiao Jingban was very attentive to his work and was a reliable person.
