one step closer to the end

"Are you afraid? You dare to move even Princess Yongning, are you still afraid of a nobleman..."

Princess Yaoyue approached him with a smile and said, "Since you choose not to stand in line, I have to win back for my elder brother, but don't worry, Mr. Qi is mine, and Yonghe will keep his mouth shut. I believe you will not let outsiders know about it." , otherwise you will lose your head! Haha~"

Princess Yaoyue turned her head and left after laughing. Zhao Guanren folded his arms and frowned and said, "This bitch is really amazing, don't do it! I'm afraid you will die on the way, do it! Let her hold the little braid, alas ~This Dashun palace is really a fucking mess!"

"Master Zhao! This concubine will trouble you for the past few days..."

Qi nobleman walked in delicately, Princess Yaoyue had already left with her people, and a lot of money was left behind, but Zhao Guanren picked his nose and asked, "What's the matter with you, are you not favored in the East Palace?" , come to me to borrow seeds?"

"A concubine with this appearance, how could she not be favored..."

Qi nobleman said helplessly: "But the rules in the palace, below the nobleman, those who have been favored three times and have been infertile will be reduced to talented people. If there is no latter, they will be buried. This is also for survival. My lord, don't waste your efforts these days, you It is the last straw for my concubine!"

"Then come on, I will be the prince tonight..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly hugged nobleman Qi, nobleman Qi giggled and said with a coquettish smile: "Prince! This concubine will be your princess tonight. If she is pregnant, I will give birth to you well, and give birth to a little prince. Occupy a large fiefdom in Dashun! Hee hee~"

'Nimma!This is putting a spy in my bed...'

Zhao Guanren cursed secretly, the prince would be damned if he didn't know about this, but exchanging a concubine for a braid might be a good deal in the prince's eyes, but this not only shows that the prince is impatient, but also shows that this guy has no morals Bottom line, entering Beijing is a bloodbath.

Chapter 0475 Golden Autumn October

Golden autumn in October!

The temperature in Dashun Dynasty dropped a lot. Although Shuntian Mansion is not located in the north, most of the people in the city have been wearing jackets, and the cold deep palace in Da Nei even set fire to the earth dragon, trying to drive away the perennial lingering dragon. of cold air.

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Emperor Shun Yao, dressed in a red dragon robe, pressed his legs and slowly sat on the dragon chair in the main hall. Although he was in his sixtieth year, he was energetic, and his waist was straight and stiff, but the beard on his chin had already turned yellow. Even the dragon crown can't cover the gray hair.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The civil and military officials stood up from both sides of the hall one after another. The crown prince in a golden dragon robe stood first on the left. Under the bulging dragon robe, he was clearly wearing a set of armor. With his tall stature and full beard, he looked like a downtrodden man. Like a mighty general.

Prince Duan was much more refined, and stood very low-key among the ministers. Xia Shoufu, who was diagonally across from him, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if I was full of cards in my belly, and no one should bother me to pretend to be sophisticated.

"what happened?"

Emperor Shun Yao pointed down very unhappy, several ministers were wearing anti-epidemic masks, he said angrily: "Why are there still people wearing masks, isn't the flu already under control? Is it a drug den?"

"Your Majesty! The ministers are not greedy for life and afraid of death, but strictly abide by the epidemic prevention regulations..."

A minister came out and said: "The regulations stipulate that patients with infectious diseases must stay away from the crowd when they go out and wear anti-epidemic masks. There are servants in the Weichen's mansion who are sick. Although the minister is healthy, the flu has an incubation period. The minister is worried that the emperor and his colleagues will be infected. I had to wear a mask as a last resort!"

"You people..."

The prince said angrily: "The emperor often reminds you, you have both civil and military skills. Don't slack off martial arts when you read sage books. Everyone is like a sick child. Look at the generals, who is sick?"

"His Royal Highness! General Huwei has been quarantined, so burned that he can't get out of bed..."

A civil servant ran on him on the spot, and the crown prince hurriedly looked back and found that there were three people missing among the military officers, so he coughed in embarrassment.

"Humph~"

Emperor Shun Yao slapped the dragon chair angrily, and asked: "Where did Zhao Yunxuan die? I ordered that kid to enter Beijing in October. It's almost the middle of the month. Why hasn't he entered Beijing to take office? "

"Your Majesty! All the state capitals are pestering him not to let him go..."

A minister stepped forward and said: "Seventeen state capitals all sent people to Ningzhou to study the anti-epidemic strategy. It is said that he has set up a medical college to train female doctors and first responders on the battlefield. The border generals all sent people to stand guard at the door. , spend a lot of money to recruit his students!"

"Oh?"

Emperor Shun Yao asked curiously: "What is the difference between the people in this medical school and the military doctors, and it is worth sending people from the border to recruit them all the way?"

"Report to the emperor! Zhao Yunxuan's students are naturally proficient in epidemic prevention..."

The minister straightened up and replied: "However, first aiders only target wounded soldiers on the battlefield, and can only treat common common diseases. However, it takes at least seven or eight years to train a qualified military doctor, but his three months is enough." Being able to become a teacher is a god-speed!"

"Three months?"

Emperor Shunyao raised his head in surprise, and waved: "Xuantai Hospital will remind you to enter the hall, and ask him if the first aider is really qualified!"

"Xuantai Hospital reminds me to enter the palace..."

An old eunuch stepped forward and gave a long shout, and a blue-robed imperial doctor rushed into the hall, knelt down and listened to the emperor's question, and sneered and said: "It's just a fur, it's not as good as a broken doctor, an apprentice in the imperial hospital!" They are all better than their medical skills!"

"Then tell me..."

Emperor Shun Yao pointed at him and asked: "Why did the border generals send people to guard them? Could it be that they are blind? And how many qualified military doctors can you train in a year?"

"Go back to the emperor! Two or thirty people a year is not a problem, and many apprentices can do it..."

The imperial doctor knelt and said: "The purpose of robbing people at the border is to prevent the enemy from poisoning and spreading plagues such as corpse plague. I dare not lie to my sage. The regulations have been implemented, and the flu has been effectively controlled!"

"Father! My son knows something about this matter..."

The prince cupped his hands and raised the court board, and said: "The first-aiders win because they have a large number of people. It is not a problem to train thousands of people a year. In the army, most of them suffer from bruises. They can also help military doctors. There are also Korean doctors. Remember the life extension pills and intermittent ointment, only they can use it!"

"Why? Didn't Han Ji donate the ancient recipe? Why can't he use it..."

Emperor Shun Yao looked at the imperial physician suspiciously, and the imperial physician said sadly: "Your Majesty! They help fellow villagers, and hide the methods they use. I sent people to ask, but they were treated like monkeys. The medical and nursing colleges are all in Ningzhou. People, outsiders can't get in at all!"

"Doctor! What you said is biased..."

Prince Duan turned sideways and said: "When you are teaching apprentices, don't you also hide it? I am afraid that the apprentice will starve to death after teaching the apprentice. He has already contributed the ancient recipe to the emperor. You still want to steal his job and ask you to contribute the secret recipe handed down from your ancestors." Come out, are you willing?"

"Your Highness's words are justified..."

Immediately, a Ningzhou official popped up and said: "We Ningzhou people are also Dashun citizens, so there is nothing wrong with keeping a hand to support our family. I will entrust all the skills to your Tai Hospital and let them drink the northwest wind. You will be happy, right?" Bar?"

"Okay! Stop shouting..."

Emperor Shun Yao waved his hand and said: "Since the medical school is so popular, then move the medical school to the capital and continue to be under the management of Zhao Yunxuan, so that he will not miss my errand, and secondly, he will not have to go to Ningzhou , the Ministry of Rites will draft a document and send it out!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites bent down to salute, and the imperial physician retreated to the end angrily.

"Your Majesty! I have played..."

A minister came out and said: "The Tongzhi of Ningzhou reported that 68 commercial firms and workshops in Ningzhou all moved out of Ningzhou overnight and went to Yuzhou to set up a head office. Now Lantai County Xieji Weaponry Workshop also applied. The workshop moved to Tanhua County, Yuzhou!"

"Yuzhou?"

Emperor Shun Yao straightened his body and said in surprise: "The drought in Yuzhou is severe right now, and the water transportation is not well developed. Why did they all move to Yuzhou and seek far away?"

"Report to the emperor! The original words of the Ningzhou merchants are that they can't take it anymore..."

The minister said in embarrassment: "The newly-appointed magistrate of Lantai conducts three inspections a day. After inspecting the shops and workshops, and after inspecting the workshops, he inspected the houses. The nearby counties are all in trouble. They are worried that if they continue to investigate, the business will be ruined. Moving away from the land of right and wrong, I am afraid that Ningzhou's tax revenue will drop sharply!"

"You bastard! He can't even be a county magistrate..."

Emperor Shun Yao said angrily: "He's business is booming, he used money to build ordnance for our court, and when he left, everyone ran away. Xie Kee's weapons workshop has moved, and the cost of ordnance has not risen with the tide. Ask him to invite people back for me, and if there is one less, I will ask him!"

"Your Majesty Qizuo, there is a severe drought in Yuzhou every year, you have to think about the people of Yuzhou..."

An old official stepped forward and said bitterly: "I have tried my best in Yuzhou to invite merchants in Ningzhou to help the poor and disaster relief. The people have repaired the roads and docks and built workshops for them without wages. I only hope that they can come to Yuzhou to rescue the suffering, His Majesty can't let them go back!"

"Speak clearly..."

Emperor Shunyao was surprised and said: "Businessmen who want to move for profit should move to the richer Huaiyang banks. The land in Yuzhou is barren, and there are nine out of ten years. What kind of conditions does Yuzhou offer to attract people?" They moved together?"

"Thanks to Prince Duan, His Highness has been mediating this..."

The old man bowed his hands to Prince Duan, and Prince Duan immediately came out and said, "Father! My son is worried about the disaster victims in Yuzhou. When I was still in Ningzhou, I encouraged merchants to share our worries. I can raise taxes while helping the poor. Why not?" Why not?"

"Oh?"

Emperor Shun Yao said seriously: "You should talk about it in detail, how to relieve disasters and help the poor, how to raise taxes?"

"Father! The people of Yuzhou are not as good as workers when farming. Lanshuihe Commercial Bank needs a lot of labor to develop several new industries. The wages are more lucrative than their farming. It can also drive the development of the entire Yuzhou..."

Prince Duan said loudly: "Those who don't work can also cultivate the land. Lanshuihe has cultivated a kind of cold-resistant and drought-resistant potato. It doesn't need careful care. Just throw a little water in the field and the yield per mu can reach [-] catties." It can be harvested twice a year!"

"So high? Isn't the yield per mu about [-] catties a year..."

There was an uproar in the hall, Emperor Shun Yao was shocked, and said: "Don't fool me that I don't know how to farm. Where are the potatoes you mentioned? Have you brought them into Beijing?"

"Father, please wait a moment, my son will order someone to be brought into the palace..."

Prince Duan walked to the front of the hall with a smile and shouted, and soon several court ladies walked in with silver trays, and after opening them, there were fragrant delicacies, and there was a potato on each tray.

"Look, father! These are the potatoes cultivated by the Lanshuihe firm..."

Prince Duan picked up a potato and introduced it: "My son has already made it into fried shredded pork with potatoes, stewed pork belly with potatoes, mashed potatoes and potato slices. Father, you can taste it!"

"Bring it up!"

Emperor Shun Yao beckoned impatiently. After all, in the Da Shun Dynasty, food was the most important thing for the people. When the court ladies knelt down in front of the dragon chair with silver plates, the emperor picked up the chopsticks and tasted them one by one without hesitation. The food in the hall naturally passed the drug test.

"Huh? Aren't these potato chips made by that girl in Yongning? I just ate them yesterday..."

Emperor Shunyao ate a piece of potato chips and kept nodding, Prince Duan smiled and said: "Father! This way of eating was invented by Yongning. I didn't expect that she was in a hurry to present treasures, and made my ministers show their shame!"

"Haha~"

Emperor Shun Yao said with a hearty smile: "I don't know it's potatoes, that girl tricked me and asked me to guess what it was made of, but this potato stew tastes better, take it down and let all the lovers taste it! "

"The emperor gave me a meal!"

The old eunuch shouted loudly, and all the ministers were full of praise. Not to mention the novelty of eating potatoes for the first time, there is no reason why the dishes made by the imperial chef are not delicious.

"His Majesty!"

A minister hurriedly knelt down and said: "If this thing can really produce [-] catties per mu, why should we be afraid of drought in the future? I implore the emperor to issue a decree to cultivate potatoes widely throughout the country, filling my Dashun granary, and benefiting my Dashun." Shunzi people!"

"No! Absolutely no..."

Prince Duan cupped his hands and said: "Potatoes are a treasure to satisfy hunger and hunger. Planting them in a land of fish and rice can naturally increase production, but no one can bear to eat potatoes every day. Furthermore, my son chose to plant them in Yuzhou. First, the poor people do not dislike them. Second, to prevent Enemy spies steal it!"

"Well! Well said..."

Emperor Shun Yao nodded in praise and said: "Prince Duan is very considerate, but what should I do if the people in other places want to taste it, once it is shipped out, it will be leaked, and I think these potatoes are really good, eat them every month You won't get tired of it a few times!"

"It can be processed and sold out, air-dried, boiled, fried, as long as it doesn't germinate..."

Prince Duan laughed and said: "Scarcity is the most precious thing. Let's use worthless potatoes to fool foreigners, exchange them for silver, and exchange their war horses. When they get tired of eating, we will dump them again. Half price will be exchanged for their iron ore and copper coins." , so that they can't make swords even if they want to fight!"

"Okay! What Your Highness said is really good..."

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty praised him, and the emperor was even more delighted. He said a lot of compliments to Prince Duan and entrusted him with several important errands one after another. .

"Old Jiu! You can..."

The prince walked up to Prince Duan and sneered, "You have always had your eyes above the top, but now you have become a parrot. You will not change Zhao Yunxuan's rhetoric, but I really don't want my daughter to set him up for you. A good son-in-law!"

"Big brother!"

Prince Duan smiled proudly and said: "Don't be so sly, let your seventeenth sister restrain herself, what does it look like for an old girl to sneak into someone's mansion in the middle of the night and be kicked out, hahaha..."

Chapter 0476

"Who is this person? Why is Yishui's white robe and white flag more mournful than the white guard..."

The Jingdu city gate army poured out of the city gate one after another, tiptoeing and looking into the distance wonderingly, the passing people and merchants also stopped to look around.

From a distance, I saw a huge procession. Not only were the entourages all dressed in white and white robes, but even the flags were all white. The large carriages were also different from the usual ones, they were all four-wheeled double carriages.

"A hundred poisons will not invade! Ningzhou's epidemic prevention army is here..."

The sharp-eyed person suddenly shouted, it turned out that the scarlet letters embroidered on the flag were all - no poison invades!But the common people exploded with a "buzz", and all fled to the city, some people lost their shoes and didn't bother to pick them up.

"Not good! Epidemic prevention army, wear a mask quickly..."

The city gate army was so frightened that their expressions changed, they hurriedly put on their masks and hid on both sides, and directly let out the empty city gates, as if it was not the doctors and nurses who came to save the common people, but a large piece of plague that was drifting Come.

"master!"

Yuniang lifted the curtain of the carriage and said depressedly: "Everyone has run away, can we still spread the candy?"

"Run away? Don't you think we are a funeral procession..."

Zhao Guanren sat in the car with his wives and concubines in a daze, and Bian Yulei lay on the window wondering, "There is no one left. We were greeted along the way. Why are the people in Beijing avoiding us? The funeral procession Is there no need to hide?"

"Tsk tsk~ I'm sure people in Beijing have never seen the world, and they feel unlucky when they see white clothes..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head with disdain. In fact, Shuntian Mansion is neither in the north nor in the south, but is located in the middle of the Dashun territory. It can be regarded as the transportation hub of the whole country, and the most knowledgeable people gather here.

"Wow! The capital is really big..."

All the wives and concubines poked their heads out curiously. Only Luo Tan and Bian Xianglan had stayed in the capital in the Zhao family, and Zhao Guanren had never even been out in Ningzhou. At this moment, they realized that the capital was really huge, and it was not even bigger than the capital in terms of area. Second-tier big cities are small.

"Okay! I didn't even check the formalities when I entered Beijing..."
