Now that the thieves almost captured the city of Beijing, the noisy courtiers are gone, and Zhu Changwu has taken the lead in changing the proportion of commercial taxes, and then there is such a big harvest. This made Chongzhen regret it a little, he knew that this was the case, he would have done it a long time ago, and Daming might not have been so troubled.

Seeing the numbers recorded on the fold, seeing that with the income from the previous robbery, there are now more than 40 million silver deposits in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen is in a good mood at this moment, he thinks that the transformation of the Ming Dynasty began at this moment, and he thinks that as long as he works hard, he can also become a figure like Taizu, so that the Ming Dynasty can rise again and become stronger.

As soon as I was in a good mood, I also had a good impression of Zhang Ao, who was on the fold. Chongzhen has already considered that as long as the other party has been working so hard, it is not impossible to consider removing the word agent from his head.

Wang Chengen has been waiting, seeing that Chongzhen is dragon heart is great joy, so he touched the jade bracelet in his right pocket, which was sent by Yuan Guifei, in order to hope that His Majesty could go to her for one night.

In the past few days, Chongzhen watched the requests for help sent from all over the country in the Qianqing Palace during the day, and rested in the land of Queen Zhou in Kunning Palace at night. After a long time, it is inevitable that he will get tired, and as a courtier, Wang Chengen believes that it is necessary to let the master change his taste and environment.

It's just that there has been no good news sent over in the past few days, and I can't find a suitable opportunity, now Chongzhen seems to be in a good mood, and Wang Chengen also saw the opportunity, so he stepped forward lightly and said: "Long live the lord, there is news from Yuan Guifei's side, and you are the emperor's favorite lotus seed soup." ”

At the end of the point, Wang Chengen just handed over a word, although he received other people's money, it does not mean that he must get things done. Besides, he always remembers that he is Chongzhen's courtier, and there is only one master, so although he will collect some things from time to time, he still has his own principles for doing things.

"Oh, Yuan Guifei has prepared lotus seed soup? Well, I haven't been to her for some time, even if she is so caring, Wang Daban, you go and pass the decree. Chongzhen, who is in a good mood, is the most receptive to advice at this time.

"Obey." Wang Chengen hurriedly agreed, and then turned around to do it.

......

Yonghe Palace.

The place where Yuan Guifei's bedroom is located.

In the evening, Chongzhen's Luan drove really here, and Yuan Guifei also took the people in the palace to wait here.

"Your Majesty." As soon as she saw Chongzhen walking out of the dragon chariot, Yuan Guifei, who was dressed up, first made a half-squat salute, and then took small steps to meet her.

"Hehehe, Yuan Guifei has a heart." Chongzhen saw Yuan Guifei dressed up so brightly, and his eyes lit up, and then he laughed.

"It is a blessing for a concubine to be able to serve the emperor. Hurry, the emperor, please. Yuan Guifei was full of smiles, stretched out her hand and helped Chongzhen's arm, and leaned over with half of her body.

Nephrite sent his arms, Chongzhen's smile was even stronger, he could already foresee that tonight would definitely be a wonderful night.

Wonderful is inevitable, Yuan Guifei originally asked for Chongzhen, and this night naturally used all her best to satisfy Chongzhen. After finishing the business and putting on their pajamas, Yuan Guifei leaned on Chongzhen's chest and talked about the perfume.

"Your Majesty, is the concubine fragrant?"

"Fragrant, it's so fragrant, haha." Chongzhen, who was slowly recovering from his blood, was slowly adjusting his breathing at this moment to prepare for another battle.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this is all the credit of the perfume, but it's a pity, it's too little, the concubines only get one bottle a month, if you want to serve the emperor every day, I'm afraid it's not enough." As he spoke, he rubbed his slender jade fingers against Chongzhen's chest.

"One bottle is a little less, I will talk to Young Master Zhu tomorrow and supply more for you and Queen Zhou." Chongzhen didn't pay much attention to this matter before, after all, men and women are different, and the things they like and their concerns are often different.

That is, Yuan Guifei said that one bottle of perfume in January is too little, so it is better to give a few more bottles. Anyway, as far as Chongzhen knows, the Daming Research Institute has made a lot of them, and if it weren't for some hunger marketing, they could have come up with a lot of them for sale.

"Is there still it there for Young Master Zhu? But Sister Zhou said that the output was very small. Yuan Guifei originally suspected that the output of perfume would not be as low as Queen Zhou said, and this temptation was indeed the case.

"Well, I can't say less, I can only say that it's not a lot. Young Master Zhu has too many things to do, so naturally he can't put all his energy on making perfumes. Chongzhen said with a sloppy look.

"If there's a lot of it, why don't you sell it? Although the concubines stayed in the palace, they also heard that it was difficult to find a piece of incense outside, and it must be able to sell it for a good price, and the people would be very happy when they got the perfume, and the treasury also got silver, so why not? ”

"This..."Chongzhen didn't immediately agree. In fact, he also had some doubts about this matter.

Everything has already been made, so why wait if you don't sell it? Chongzhen had some thoughts on this point, but considering that he had promised Zhu Changwu before that he would not interfere in the affairs of the Daming Research Institute, he just endured not mentioning it.

Seeing that Chongzhen seemed to be a little moved, Yuan Guifei felt that there was something dramatic, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister's father has nothing to do, so it is better to leave this matter to him." How can you say that it is also your own family, can't the emperor not be at ease? ”

Yuan Guifei's father, Yuan You, once served as the governor of the five armies. To put it bluntly, it's just a name, and it doesn't have any power in itself, it's just giving him a name and eating a fortune.

Over the years, because Yuan Guifei raised a son and a daughter for Chongzhen (there was a daughter who died young), although she was favored, she didn't dare to make any requests. This time, she felt that the perfume business could definitely make a lot of money, especially when she learned that the auction price of a bottle was a thousand gold, which made her even more excited.

That's what she served so passionately tonight.

Yuan Guifei made a request, but Chongzhen did not refuse immediately, how to say that this is his own woman, or one of the favored women, plus he has not taken care of the old man Yuan You much over the years, so he is also embarrassed to refuse at this time.

"The emperor is so good, the concubine will agree to you." Yuan Guifei saw that Chongzhen showed a trace of embarrassment, and simply didn't wait for him to speak, and directly settled the matter, and then the whole person suddenly turned over, and this sat on Chongzhen's body.

The original profane clothes also began to slip off at this moment, and the beautiful scenery was reflected at the moment, the peak was towering, and Chongzhen's attention was completely diverted, and he forgot to say anything about refusal. Regarding the perfume, even if he agreed to it without explanation.

In Kunning Palace, not far from here, Empress Zhou has just sent her daughter Princess Changping away.

A few days ago, Zhu Huijiao proposed to go to the Daming Research Institute, but Queen Zhou did not agree at that time, but said that she would think about it.

said that it was for consideration, Empress Zhou was originally going to discuss with Chongzhen, but she thought that she had not made suggestions before, but she was rejected on the grounds that the harem could not interfere in politics (she had advised Chongzhen to move the capital to Nanjing). If the expectation is good, this time she is discussing with Chongzhen, and there will be no result.

Just when Empress Zhou was still thinking about it, news suddenly came, saying that it was something made by the Daming Research Institute, and the first auction got five million taels of silver, which was only four hundred goods, and she felt the importance of the research institute at the moment.

A few days after Zhu Huijiao made a request, she did not see her mother's reply for a long time, and she came to Kunning Palace again after dinner that night, and the old matter was brought up again.

Empress Zhou was impatient, and she did have the idea of interfering in the research institute. The previous Daming was because he was too poor, and Chongzhen was restricted everywhere in doing things, and now she finally has an institution that can make a lot of money, of course she wants to know more.

"Okay, you go back first, the queen mother will give you an answer to this matter soon." Queen Zhou thought that Princess Changping was young after all, and she was only two years old apart from Zhu Changwu, and sending her should not make this kid have too much resistance, so she agreed first.

As for what her daughter is thinking, everything will be seen later.

......

After a night, when Chongzhen woke up in the morning, he was in good spirits.

When Yuan Guifei was serving Chongzhen for breakfast, she didn't forget to mention the perfume again, until she saw the emperor nodding her face.

In contrast, Chongzhen has some headaches.

Ordinary courtiers, Chongzhen has absolute confidence to persuade him, the big deal is the stick and sweet dates. But it is Zhu Changwu who has to face, and these don't work at all.

People don't even claim to be ministers, and they don't need him to support anything at all.

In the competition of force, people have advanced weapons in their hands that they simply cannot make.

Compared with money, the things that people make up casually are worth 10,000 gold.

Compared with the momentum, it seems that this kid can be more reasonable than himself.

In the face of such a person, if he doesn't come to Chongzhen's trouble, he will burn high incense.

Covering his forehead lightly, Chongzhen regretted it a little, if he had known, he should not have promised Yuan Guifei last night. Hey, it's all impulsive.

But the promised thing has been done, and he is the Son of Heaven, how can he regret it, so after coming to the Qianqing Palace, he said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Daban, look where Young Master Zhu is, and announce him into the palace." ”

Wang Chengen followed Chongzhen's side, probably knowing something, but he was not optimistic about it. He thinks that Zhu Changwu is not a person who can bow his head so casually, besides, he promised people before that he would not take care of the affairs of the research institute and would not interfere, but now he has to arrange Yuan Youdu to be involved, with Zhu Changwu's temperament, it is strange not to object.
