"When the Jurchen has internal friction, is it the opportunity I wait?" Zhu Youxiao smacked for a long time before continuing to speak.

Taking advantage of Zhu Youxiao and Wang Qi's discussion, the queen had already instructed the imperial dining room to serve fruits, cakes, and cornmeal paste porridge for the two monarchs and ministers, the paste porridge was all hand-polished gold grains, the general size of grinding, with 20-year-old pine as firewood, simmering slowly, boiling for two hours, sprinkled with a little sugar, the most moist and sweet.

The two of them were holding a bowl of New Year's corn porridge and snorting at the sitting.

Wang Qi drank the mushy porridge in two sips, put the silver bowl aside, took the Jinpa handed by the palace maid and wiped his hands before saying: "Your Majesty, in fact, in my opinion, no matter how the Jurchens change internally, as long as we do our own work well, we will wipe out the Jurchens in three months, and sweep away the disasters of Liaodong for decades, it is a matter of raising my hand!" ”

Wang Qi's words, when pushed forward by a year, at any time on anyone, it is a crazy knife.

But now, on the other side is the Ming Emperor, Zhu Youxiao feels that this is right.

"Then wait a little longer," Zhu Youxiao nodded: "By the way, how is Xu Aiqing's fundraising in Shanxi, I looked at Xu Aiqing's excerpts, and said that it has been raised, merchants from all over Shanxi, as well as official gentry, are quite interested in buying and selling land in Liaodong, opening a commercial house, and guild halls, and in less than a month, they took more than 2.3 million taels of silver. ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, before Lord Xu returns to Beijing, three million taels of silver will be used as Liao's salary, which is a foregone conclusion," Wang Qi felt that it was necessary to take this opportunity to emphasize to the emperor another way to repay the borrowed silver after pacifying Liaodong.

"As for how to repay more than three million taels of silver in the later period, Your Majesty, when the time comes, it is a long-term plan to use Liaodong to gather and make the wealth of Horqin, Korea, Wa and Shandong, so that those officials and gentry and the people can see the actual benefits." When he borrowed the people's wealth to raise salaries, Wang Qi had already explained the matter to Zhu Youxiao, and now it is necessary to mention it again.

It is necessary to let Zhu Youxiao have a clear and accurate understanding of the 'national debt' in his mind, and he cannot simply take it from the people and use it to interpret it, otherwise the follow-up work will not be carried out.

"You can do this yourself, and I can leave it to you," Zhu Youxiao waved his hand when he heard this: "When the affairs of Liaodong are finished, I can let go of the government, there is a cabinet outside, and a military department inside, and I will rule the world with the arch of the arch, isn't this the situation of the prosperous era that those civil officials think about day and night?" Zhu Youxiao laughed, as if laughing at himself, and as if he was serious: "I'm happy to be a carpenter."

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Wang Qi just smiled and didn't reply.

As if he also knew that Wang Qi was inconvenient to speak, Zhu Youxiao shrugged his shoulders, a little helpless.

After a short time, the two of them chatted for a while, and Wang Qi also got up to say goodbye.

Out of the palace gate, Wang Qi exhaled lightly: Today's matter is over.

By the time I got back to the house, it was already dark.

Hai Lanzhu waited in the hall early, waiting for Wang Qi to come back from the palace.

"The slaves and maids have been persuaded, but the lady just has to wait for the master to come back before eating," Qingluo has changed her identity from Hai Lanzhu's maid to the housekeeper in Wang Qi's backyard since she entered the palace, and when she entered the backyard, even Wang Shouxin had to be instructed by her to drink back and forth.

"Well, I'll go over and take a look," Wang Qi handed back the hand towel and turned to walk towards the hall.

He naturally knew that Qingluo was careful, but Hai Lanzhu had just arrived, and he needed a maid like Qingluo to help him establish his prestige in the backyard.

With such a strong little girl, no one will look down on Hai Lanzhu.

But Wang Qi forgot, with Hai Lanzhu's character, who would dare to look down on it? Although she is now pregnant and her temper is restrained, no one can control the fierce aura of the prairie woman.

"My lord," Hai Lanzhu was originally sitting alone behind the desk, but when she heard the voice, she immediately got up and greeted Wang Qi back to the door: "You're back." ”

"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Wang Qi naturally stretched out his hand and braid some scattered hair tips behind her ears for Hai Lanzhu.

"When the slave heard that you entered the palace, he couldn't sleep," Hai Lanzhu shook her head, her face flushed: "The palace didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

"Who will embarrass me?" Wang Qi smiled: "Let's go eat." ”

"What about Princess Ningde?" Hai Lanzhu pulled Wang Qi, her mouth bulged, and then she rolled her eyes again: "Are you very angry?" ”

"I didn't see her," Wang Qi stretched out his hand and gently scratched Hai Lanzhu's nose: "Why do you want to do so much?" I'll do the rest, you just need to take care of your own body, and when the time comes, you can give birth to a big fat boy for me."

"Got it" Hai Lanzhu smiled when she heard this, and it was incomprehensibly beautiful for a moment.

After eating with Hai Lanzhu, and then talking, the girl who had not had a good rest along the way was very tired after all, and fell asleep again after a while.

With Qingluo taking care of Hai Lanzhu, Wang Qi returned to the side hospital alone, and he still had a lot of official business to deal with.

"My lord, that old Go gentleman is still in the front yard," Wang Shouxin reported to Wang Qi.

At noon, before Wang Qi entered the palace, he was playing chess with the old master, and when he was dying, he got the will to enter the palace, so he disrupted the chessboard and left the table, and now he came out of the palace, but he didn't expect the old gentleman to be there.

This Go master was also recommended to Wang Qi more than half a month ago, when Xu Guangqi left Beijing.

There is no way, it is really Wang Qi's chess skills are too poor, so Xu Guangqi, who is full of Confucianism, really can't stand it, so he recommended this old man and let him raise his temperament.

This study is half a month.

Chess skills are not good, but the means of tricking have increased by a few percent.

"Let's go over and take a look," Wang Qi just digested after dinner and killed two games on the chessboard!

Although the chess quality is not good, Wang Qi is very willing to play with the masters.

"The old gentleman is still waiting for me?" As soon as he entered the side room in the front hall, Wang Qi saw the old gentleman, who was still playing alone.

"Grandpa Guo is back?" The white-bearded old man raised his eyes and quickly put the chess pieces on the chessboard together: "Another game?" ”

"Please," Wang Qi sat opposite the old man, and said indifferently: "The old gentleman has been waiting for me?" ”

"The food in Grandpa Guo's mansion is good, and the old man wants to eat another bowl before leaving," the old gentleman smiled.

Wang Qi did not move to place the chess pieces, but looked at the old gentleman with a smile: "If the old gentleman has something to say, just say it." ”

Want money? Or do you want to be an official?

Wang Qi had some scheming in his heart.

"My junior brother Li Yangshan, I don't know if Grandpa Guo remembers?" The white-bearded old man's eyes were like stars, reflecting Wang Qi's slightly surprised expression.
