Emperor Qianwu thought of the small imperial tea and refined salt brought this time, so he whispered to Gao Dali: "Buy a few shops with good locations." ”

Gao Dali understood, nodded and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave will do it immediately." ”

"This matter must be kept secret."

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured!"

Scholars, farmers, industrialists, merchants, and merchants have the lowest status.

Even if a merchant was so wealthy, he was not allowed to wear brocade clothes and clothes, and he was not allowed to enter the court as an official, and he was discriminated against in every way.

Because people felt that the merchants themselves did not produce anything, and earned silver taels by reselling goods, which did not bring benefits to the state, but made the peasants want to do business with red eyes.

If the peasants go to business and no one cultivates the land, then the foundations of the country will be seriously damaged.

In fact, the powerful people in the DPRK and China secretly have their own industries, but they do not run them themselves, but find agents.

This kind of thing is tacitly understood by the magnates, and in their bones they still look down on businessmen and think that scholars are the most noble.

If the emperor's business is known to the powerful people in the court and the scholars of the world, he will definitely laugh at his generosity and be criticized for competing with the people for profit and affecting the emperor's prestige.

Emperor Qianwu knew all these things, but his internal treasury was even more empty than the treasury, and the palace had a lot of expenses, so he had to find a way to make money.

After all, who doesn't like a life like the Emperor's Suite at the Peace Hotel?

Soon, Long Yuan came to the palace.

The queen had already led the harem concubines and princesses to greet them at the palace gate.

"Welcome Your Majesty back to the palace, Your Majesty is blessed!"

Queen Murong wore a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, with a shallow gentle smile on her face, showing the temperament of a graceful and noble mother.

Although he is middle-aged, he is very well maintained, his skin is delicate and his facial features are exquisite, if you ignore the fine lines on her neck, she is not far behind the young woman in her twenties.

The queen was born into a famous family, knowledgeable and intelligent, and once followed Emperor Qianwu to conquer the world, and her feelings were very deep.

When the world was settled, Emperor Qianwu set her up as the queen mother of the world, and managed the harem in an orderly manner, which was deeply loved by Emperor Qianwu.

Although her appearance and figure are not as good as they were back then, Emperor Qianwu's favor for her has not diminished in the slightest, and she is extremely favored, and she has this absolute authority in the harem.

With a smile on his face, Emperor Qianwu stepped forward to help Empress Murong up, and said gently: "Empress, why do you need to make this great gift? ”

Then he said lightly to the many concubines and princes behind him: "Let's all be flat." ”

At this time, Xiao Changning, who had not seen him for a long time, stretched out his arms and shouted sweetly: "Queen Mother, Changning misses you so much!" ”

As he spoke, he spread his arms and ran over with a smile on his face.

Empress Murong showed a doting smile, leaned down and stretched out her arms, and hugged Changning, her eyes were full of love: "The queen mother misses you too!" ”

Then he looked at it carefully, and said with some distress: "Changning has lost weight!" ”

Seeing many concubines and princesses, Emperor Qianwu was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "It's normal to be thinner and thinner. ”

Empress Murong nodded slightly: "Your Majesty has been tired all the way, hurry up and enter the palace to rest." ”

"Well, after all these days of my absence, the harem can still be peaceful?"

"The harem is peaceful, and many princes and princesses are fine, Your Majesty can relax."

"Haha, the queen is hard."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It's all as it should be. ”

The two chatted while walking, and when they got to the palace, Queen Murong bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Jianye for a long time, can you let him stay in the palace and talk to the palace?" ”

In the past dynasties, the prince had to leave the palace to build a mansion when he was an adult, and he was not allowed to stay in the palace without the emperor's will.

Even if the empress wants to keep the adult prince, she must obtain the emperor's consent.

Li Jianye was born to Empress Murong, and he had been serving in Anding County before, and the mother and son had not seen each other for a long time, so naturally they would not refuse, and said with a smile: "Of course you can." ”

Then he turned his head to look at Li Jianye, and said meaningfully: "Serve your mother well, don't say anything to make your mother angry, you know?" ”

Li Jianye understood in his heart, knowing that Emperor Qianwu meant not to let him say anything about Baishi City, he bowed down and said, "Father, rest assured." ”

Empress Murong had been with Emperor Qianwu for so many years, and she knew him very well, and immediately saw the deep meaning in his eyes.

When he arrived at the dormitory, Emperor Qianwu went to bathe and change clothes to prepare for rest, and Empress Murong no longer accompanied him, and called Li Jianye to Fengyi Palace.

"Jianye, how are you doing when you go to the Deserted Mansion?" Empress Murong asked with a smile.

"It's not bad, I saw a lot of customs and customs that I hadn't seen before, I also saw evil beasts, I ate some local specialties, and I took Changning out to play for a while." Li Jianye replied decently, and did not tell the queen mother about running out of Changlinpo to hunt evil beasts with Xiao Changning, let alone going to Baishi City.

Empress Murong bowed slightly, and said with a straight face: "Well, this trip, among the many princes, your father only brought one person, which shows that he has high hopes for you, it is good to go out for a walk, you have to work hard, don't live up to your father's high expectations." ”

"The queen mother can rest assured, and the sons will live up to their expectations." Li Jianye nodded.

"By the way, I remember that your Nine Emperor Brother Li Changfeng is in Baishi City under the rule of the Wasteland, has Your Majesty ever gone to visit?" Empress Murong suddenly stared at Li Jianye's eyes and asked.

Thinking of Emperor Qianwu's eyes before, Li Jianye hesitated, and said with a somewhat evasive look: "I haven't gotten there." ”

Hearing this, Empress Murong's eyes flashed, and she glanced at Li Jianye deeply.

As the queen of Fengyi world, she can always preside over the stability of the harem, how can she be just an ordinary person, it can be seen that Li Jianye did not tell the truth, but she did not debunk it, after all, it was the meaning of Emperor Qianwu.

Li Jianye lowered his head a little weakly.

Empress Murong sighed lightly and said: "Your Ninth Emperor Brother is also pitiful, because he is not favored by the bloodline of the previous dynasty, and there was such a thing back then, your father Emperor was forced to send him to a wild place such as White Rock City, presumably he has lived a very hard life over the years." ”

Speaking of this, Empress Murong paused, her tone raised a lot, and advised: "Calculate the time, he will return to Beijing next year to report on his work, you have to get along with him, remember?" ”

Li Jianye twitched.

Poor Nine Emperor Brothers?

Having a hard time?

Are you kidding!

Even his father, who is the king of a country, is inferior to the Nine Emperor Brothers in terms of food, clothing, and entertainment.

Especially the Peace Hotel and the heaven and earth, it is simply a luxury and enjoyment, even the palace cannot be compared.

If the Nine Emperor Brothers are pitiful, there will be no poor people in this world!

As for getting along well, there is no need to remind him at all, he is still thinking about those energetic programs and one-stop service.

He had already made up his mind that he had to have a good relationship with the Nine Emperor Brothers.

Seeing him look like this, Empress Murong thought that Li Jianye hadn't listened, and immediately her face was slightly gloomy, and she said with some annoyance: "Don't you also look down on your Nine Emperor Brothers and don't listen to the words of this palace?" ”

Li Jianye hurriedly shook his head and denied: "It's nothing, I just thought of the hardships of the Nine Emperor Brothers, and I was a little distracted for a while!" ”
