Bright Spring

As a result, during the Warring States period, some princes turned slaves into common people, and the grain harvested by the common people could be kept except for the grain tax; the more the common people planted, the more they got.In this way, the princes found that their families got more food goods because the common people were more willing to produce food. "

Shen Xu listened with gusto, she might find it very fresh.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu went on to say: "After the prosperity of industry and commerce, it will become even more powerful. It can not only stimulate domestic production, but also find a way to obtain real profits from other countries. Otherwise, it is almost meaningless to invade|occupy other countries. During the Yongle period, the court Entering and occupying Annan State, the result is perennial losses; there is no possibility of profit, and there are many complaints from the ruling and opposition parties, as well as at home and abroad. Because the method of establishing a county system in Annan State and directly collecting grain taxes, the cost of setting up government garrisons is too high, and resistance is too high. too much.

However, if our country takes the lead in trade first, the government and the people can spend less time working and get more goods. This is the fundamental way to change the hardships and hardships of the people.And any method of copying bureaucratic merchants and wealthy households and distributing them to the poor is to quench thirst with poison, which will only dampen enthusiasm and inhibit follow-up production, and everyone will fall into a more difficult situation together. "

Shen Xu heard it, and said softly: "No matter whether the method of the Holy One is effective or not, your thinking is indeed different from those meat eaters. People are concerned about how to protect their own interests and stabilize their own status. Concerned about the hardships of the common people?"

"It's just human nature." Zhu Gaoxu said, "Then do you trust my heart?"

Shen Xu's face flushed slightly, and she nodded slightly without saying a word.Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his forehead, he was a little confused, and then he came to his senses.

Chapter 856

There were no musicians in the private room, and Li Louxian did not change costumes.However, her posture and movements are well grasped, and most importantly, her eyes are very magical.Her face is covered with heavy makeup, and only her eyes can express the emotions of the opera lines, but the emotions seem to really follow the lingering tunes and come from the heart.

"I would rather stay lonely and poor, and live my youth. If I don't have a man in this life, I won't accept it. If I get married and find out that my heart is married, I will not be in vain. Yaner's new marriage in the bridal chamber..." She was singing the lines, and the words were straight , very clearly.Zhu Gaoxu and Shen Xushi sat beside the coffee table, admiring them intently.

The words of opera are sung very slowly, and as long as you listen patiently, you can understand the content of the plot.Zhu Gaoxu felt that the content of this play was empty, but fortunately, Li Louxian's acting skills were superb and his performance was contagious.Zhu Gaoxu had listened to a lot of operas in the Ming Dynasty, and he also knew some singing rules. He understood that Li Louxian's fingers, body movements, and accents at this time had rules.Performing under many rules, it is really not easy to be euphemistic and moving.

After singing a verse, Li Louxian stopped, stepped forward and knelt and said, "I'm not talented."

Zhu Gaoxu clapped his hands and praised, then reached into his bosom, took out a silver bracelet, and said: "Miss Li sings well, don't refuse a small gift."

Li Louxian had no choice but to take it with both hands, and said, "My family, thank you for your kindness."

"This is the first batch of silver mines and silver wares produced by Iwami Ginzan in Japan." Zhu Gaoxu said, and turned his head to look at Shen Xu after speaking.The smile in Shen Xu's eyes seemed to be a kind of tacit understanding.

Li Louxian seems to be in a bad mood these years because of his ex-husband, the skin on his hands is also a bit aging, and the finger bones and tendons are very conspicuous.What Shen Xu said was not bad, but her beauty has declined a lot.But Zhu Gaoxu didn't dislike him at all, because Li Louxian was an old acquaintance in Yunnan.

"Please ask your majesty to retreat temporarily and take a rest." Li Louxian said again.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded in agreement.

When the person went out and closed the door, Shen Xu said softly with some feeling: "Men are really unreliable, women have to rely on themselves." After she finished speaking, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu With a glance, he said again: "The concubine's identity means her ex-husband, the sage is still reliable."

"Hey..." Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help laughing a few times.

Immediately, a little blush appeared on her cheeks. Against the backdrop of the dark blue old-fashioned robe, Zhu Gaoxu's slightly shy face was gradually arousing curiosity.It's like a piece of warm white jade, falling in the dust, with only a corner exposed, which makes people want to take it all out to have a look.

Zhu Gaoxu was a little impulsive, so he stared at her cheeks and neck admiringly.Shen Xu felt a little uncomfortable, stretched out his hand and gently tugged at the collar.

"Is Baoyan okay in the palace?" Shen Xu asked suddenly.

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and said: "I arranged for her to live in the Palace of Concubine Xian. Concubine Xian is a very intelligent person. Isn't Yao Fang the second shopkeeper in the Shenxu Merchant Gang? The relationship between the Shen family and the Yao family is considered an alliance, and Concubine Xian must I will not treat Baoyan badly, let alone make her angry."

Shen Xu muttered: "Then I can rest assured. Baoyan is not very talkative, but she is also an elf. She seems to know something?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "She definitely doesn't know what happened today, and no one knows."

"W-what's the matter?" Shen Xu raised his head and looked at Zhu Gaoxu, then his eyes flickered and he began to avoid.

Zhu Gaoxu did not say a word, nor did he move rashly.

Shen Xu's demeanor seemed to be very entangled, rather hesitant, and his eyes were slightly unpredictable.After a while, she whispered weakly: "It's really the last time to talk like this, how about it?"

...Zhu Gaoxu returned to the palace in the afternoon, took a shower and changed clothes as before, and then went to the Palace of Concubine Xian.It was Yao Ji's turn to attend bed today, and she was recuperating after giving birth and was not feeling well, so Zhu Gaoxu chose today to talk to Shen Xu about "business affairs".

The spring rain hadn't stopped yet, and the palace pavilions seemed to be engulfed in fog, which made the Mu family's leisure time a bit more misty and rainy.Accompanying Zhu Gaoxu was not only the virtuous concubine Yao Ji, but also the concubine Shen Baoyan who lived in this palace.

Zhu Gaoxu first teased his daughter Shou??, and then Qin, a relative of Yao Ji's natal family, also came.The Qin family stewed pigeon soup and brought it into the palace to nourish Yao Ji.It was a coincidence that the Qin family went to the palace twice to meet Yao Ji, and they both met Zhu Gaoxu in the Xianfei Palace.

The nanny took birthday away, and they drank tea and ate snacks in the flower hall.

Mrs. Qin probably came here to inquire about Yao Fang's news. She first mentioned Zhu Gaoxu's Japanese concubine Qiu Yueshi: "Concubine Li came from afar, do you know the etiquette of Ming Dynasty?"

Yao Ji immediately turned her head to look at Zhu Gaoxu, and they looked at each other.

Yao Ji smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is the wife of the Yao family who is married by Ming Media, why worry so much?"

But Zhu Gaoxu understood that the Qin family was not worried about his status, but because he didn't want Yao Fang to find someone else.Not all women are as open-minded as Yao Ji, sometimes they have difficulty restraining their jealousy and possessiveness, even if there is a ritual system that men are superior to women, they can't suppress their nature.

"Because we are thousands of miles away, I can't help worrying about it." Qin Shi said, "I heard that Japan is already at peace. Why hasn't he come back? What is he doing there for so long?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The last time Sheng Yong's memorial was sent back to Beijing, Yao Fang was mentioned. Yao Fang made great contributions in the battle against Japan, and nothing happened. You don't have to worry, maybe you will return to Beijing soon."

Qin's upper body leaned forward, and said respectfully: "The Holy Grace."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, stood up, and said, "You guys chat first, I'll take a nap."

Qin Shi hurriedly said: "The concubine should also say goodbye."

Yao Ji stayed behind and said, "It's hard to come here, why bother?"

Zhu Gaoxu walked outside the flower hall, and several people got up and sent them to the door.In this weather, he didn't intend to sleep, so he went to Yao Ji's bedroom, found a book, and sat there to pass the time.

After a while, someone came in with tea.Zhu Gaoxu saw that it was Shen Baoyan.Baoyan is reticent, very quiet, and looks beautiful, giving people a feeling of being a little out of touch.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't quite understand her thoughts, it was all arranged by the Shen family and the royal family, she had nothing to do as a young lady, and she wouldn't feel too much.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu was not violent towards the concubines in the palace. He didn't hurt them either verbally or physically, and the palace was full of fine clothes and fine food. Logically, Baoyan wouldn't be too dissatisfied, at most he just felt bored. .

"Didn't His Majesty want to take a nap?" Shen Baoyan's voice came.In Zhu Gaoxu's mind, some images appeared subconsciously, as if seeing spring water dripping into a clear and deep mountain pool.

She took the initiative to find topics, but not often.Zhu Gaoxu immediately put down the book in his hand, stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup, and smiled gently: "I like to stay with beautiful women, but when several women sit together, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Bao Yan said: "Me too."

Zhu Gaoxu asked: "What?"

Bao Yan said: "I think it's boring. Concubine Xian and Madam Yao (Qin's family) both want to talk to me, and they have nothing to say. It's very embarrassing. In fact, I know what they mean, because I am from the Shen family. The Yao family has some connections, they don't want to neglect me."

Zhu Gaoxu said kindly: "After all, it's good intentions. But Baoyan is indeed a different woman, and what she says often surprises people."

Bao Yan didn't respond, and said: "This is not the first time Your Majesty has said this."

Zhu Gaoxu touched his forehead with his hand, and suddenly said: "When you first entered the palace, I seem to have said it, and it is indeed true."

Baoyan shook her head slightly: "In Yunnan."

It was many years ago, Zhu Gaoxu felt that it had been a long time, and he could no longer remember what he had said to a little girl, so he asked casually, "Which time?"

Bao Yan said: "Did you forget when I met the Holy Majesty for the second time?"

Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment, not only forgot what he said, but also had no memory of where Shen Baoyan was when he saw him for the second time.

Bao Yan glanced at him, and reminded: "Han Wang Mansion. I have only been there once in total, and I went with Shen Manshu."
