"It's just getting ready, not necessarily going to war."

After speaking, Xia Tian hugged her slender and soft waist, making the beauty shy.

Zhou Yurou just struggled symbolically.

If it is really a war, Xia Tian really has no confidence.

He had no idea how effective the army led by Xie Jun was at the northern border.

I only hope that I can rely on the tall city to resist the army of the wolf country.

Zhou Yurou didn't ask too much about government affairs, because it was a taboo.

"Your Majesty, my concubine is going to take a bath."

"I happen to plan to take a bath too, let's go together."

Zhou Yurou's pretty face turned red when she heard his words, even her pair of jade ears were extremely pink.

"Your Majesty...how can this be done?"

Xia Tian smiled and said: "Why not? Don't I deserve to take a bath with Concubine Liang?"

Zhou Yurou hastily explained: "Your Majesty, this is not the meaning of concubine, concubine is... yes..."

Before she could finish speaking, Cherry's little mouth was blocked.

"Uh...uuuuuuuuuuuuu"

A few minutes later, Xia Tian let her go.

Zhou Yurou's eyes were full of affection, and she hugged Xia Tian's neck with both hands.

"My concubine, I will take you to take a bath."

The hot water has been placed in the side hall bath, and there are several kinds of flower petals and Chinese medicinal materials in the pool.

Zhou Yurou buried her head in his chest, not daring to look at the surrounding maids.

It's really embarrassing for her to take a bath with the opposite sex when she grows up so big.

Because it was Zhou Yurou's first time, Xia Tian didn't stop at the bathing pool... Feng Linwan.

After washing, he carried Zhou Yurou back to the bed in the bedroom.

Looking at Zhou Yurou's graceful figure, Xia Tian smiled and said, "Concubine Liang should have learned this knowledge, right? Today I will let you play around."

Any concubine who enters the palace has learned the knowledge of the bottom of the bed.

Of course, this kind of learning is not the same as in Hualou.

Hua Louzhong learns all kinds of methods, as long as it can please the guests.

Zhou Yurou, Shangguan Qingxue and the others studied more formally, and learned these to avoid hurting Longen.

Zhou Yurou looked at Xia Tian who was lying there motionless, her cheeks were flushed and she was extremely shy.

She also received temporary training before entering the palace.

Seeing her shy and shy look, Xia Tian laughed, turned over, hugged her and kissed her.

This night, the scenery is infinite and the flute and song are endless.

Early the next morning.

Xia Tian woke up habitually, Zhou Yurou snuggled into his arms and fell asleep soundly.

"Ding, the random daily mission is open, and you will be rewarded with 2000 repair points if you go out of the palace to play for more than an hour."

Xia Tian started to get up and get dressed, and when he got dressed, Zhou Yurou hadn't woken up yet, probably too tired last night.

"Your Majesty, it's time for the imperial concubine to wake up."

Zhou Yurou's maid Lan Er's voice sounded outside the door.

Her voice was not low, Zhou Yurou opened her eyes in a daze.

When she saw that Xia Tian was already dressed, she hurriedly woke up, without any sleepiness, and her expression was a little flustered.

"Your Majesty, my minister... my concubine slept too deeply."

Seeing her appearance, Xia Tian stroked her black hair: "My concubine, don't panic, I know you were too late last night, take a good rest, I will ask Lan'er to bring you breakfast later."

After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed her small cherry mouth.

The two were intimate, and Xia Tian let her go: "Ai Fei has a good rest."

Zhou Yurou's heart was extremely sweet, and she said softly, "Well, Your Majesty only needs to pay attention to your body and don't be too tired."

"I was tired enough last night."

"Your Majesty hates..."

Chapter 58 The Royal Bank

In summer, I went to morning court after eating breakfast.

There were no big things in the early court, and the memorials of the ministers were all about small things.

Xia Tian announced in the court hall to set up supervision and history departments in various counties and prefectures to monitor the local officials, and the officials were transferred from the capital.

If selected from the local area, the supervision history is very likely to be in cahoots with local officials.

In addition, the Ministry of Household Affairs has integrated the original departments to form a new taxation department, which is responsible for taxation.

There is one more thing, Xia Tian directly ordered the opening of some domestic businesses, such as the salt and iron business.

Although it is open, the business of salt and iron needs to cooperate with the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

Now that the tax reform promulgated in Xia Tian has spread around the capital, it has not been delivered to farther places, but the news is already on the way.

The people around the capital sang joyously, and their joy was beyond words. Many people were already singing the praises of Xia Xia's wisdom and virtue.

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

Some large chambers of commerce in the capital are naturally worried, because the taxes they will receive in the future are much higher than before.

But today a piece of news spread across the capital in an instant, which surprised many chambers of commerce.

Because some imperial courts have relaxed some prohibitions, private chambers of commerce can also operate profiteering businesses that were banned before, such as salt and iron, but they need to be authorized by the imperial court and go through relevant procedures.

Where there is competition, there is progress.

Just like the iron-making process in the past, if it has been monopolized by the imperial family, it will be difficult to improve the iron-making process, because there is only such a family in the entire dynasty.

If it is handed over to private chambers of commerce, it will form a strong competitive relationship.

Prompt all parties to work hard to develop a better smelting process.

Of course, there are certain disadvantages in this way, but under the control of the court, these disadvantages are nothing.

After all, the rich are no match for the powerful.

Originally, many businessmen in the capital were frowning yesterday, but they beamed with joy when they heard the news today.

In a few days, the Ministry of Household Affairs will openly invite bids for an iron mine.

All powerful medium and large chambers of commerce in the capital can participate, and whoever wins the bid depends on who of them can give the court more benefits.

For this kind of profiteering industry, the tax collected by the court is also relatively high.

However, compared with huge profits, that little tax is nothing at all, and some chambers of commerce want to contract it.

After morning morning.

Xia Tian was processing the memorial in the imperial study.

"Little Xuanzi, did Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu choose something yesterday?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu both chose two kinds of accessories, very happy."

Xia Tian: "Go and get something to reward Ran'er, Fei'er and Man Xue."

These three people are all his beauties, and their status is far from being comparable to that of imperial concubines, which is also the reason for their bad backgrounds.

With backgrounds like theirs, they would not be able to become noble concubines in almost their entire lives, and a lot has already been determined by their births.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

As a person in the palace, Xiao Xuanzi naturally knew what to reward for being a beauty.

……

Half an hour later, Xiao Xuanzi came back, and Xia Tian had almost finished handling the memorial.

"Xiao Xuanzi called Gu Chenxi and Shangguan Chen, let's go out of the palace."

Gu Chenxi and Shangguan Chen are members of the Dragon Shadow Guard, and now they follow Xia Tian every day as personal bodyguards.

Xie An is still recuperating at home, last time he suffered an internal injury, Xia Tian gave him a few days off.

A quarter of an hour later.

A carriage drove out from the palace, Xiao Xuanzi and Shangguan Chen sat outside and drove.

Sitting in the carriage and eating fruit in summer.

Gu Chenxi also got to know Xia Tian's character in the past few days, and she is not as reserved as before.

She is wearing a loose martial robe today, but it is difficult to hide her exquisite figure. Her long black hair is tied behind her head with a hairpin, like a ponytail, she looks heroic and beautiful.

"Where are we going, Your Majesty?"

Xiao Xuanzi's voice sounded from outside the carriage.

Xia Tian: "Go to see Huang Jie's bank."

Several shops of the Royal Bank opened in the capital yesterday, which caused quite a stir at the time.

Many people in the capital also know about the Royal Bank's business.

Many people widened their eyes when they heard that depositing money in the Royal Bank not only does not require handling fees, but also earns interest after depositing for a certain period of time.

There is such a good thing?Are the people at the Royal Bank out of their minds?

Twenty minutes later, the carriage arrived outside the shop of a royal bank.

Get down from the carriage, Xia Tian looked at the store, the store occupies a large area, it is the largest store around.

The four big characters of "Royal Bank" are arrogant and powerful, which is obviously his thin gold body.

These words were indeed written by him, and the words on the plaque were engraved by the master sculptor according to his handwriting.

There are two guards standing guard at the entrance of the shop. After all, it is a bank, so it is easy for some people to covet it.

When Xia Tian walked into the store, there were only a few people handling money deposit business.

A waiter came over with a smile.

"Hello son, what kind of business are you here for?"

Xia Tian: "Tell me about the business of your bank?"

"Young master, our bank has a time deposit business. The minimum deposit is 100 taels. If you deposit for one year, you can get about [-] taels of interest."

"If you need money for something in the middle, you can also withdraw it in advance, but there will be no interest."

"You can also exchange money tickets from our bank. Money tickets can be withdrawn in different places. Our bank has semi-colons in all counties and prefectures of the Dynasty. We do not charge any fees for these."

"In terms of reputation, my lord, you can rest assured, because we are a royal firm."

Xia Tian nodded slightly, this waiter was well trained, he understood everything he said.

Although there are not many customers now, he believes that there will be more and more in the future.

After the prosperity of business, copper coins, gold and silver are not easy to carry, and money tickets are the best choice.

If you choose money tickets, you will naturally choose a bank with a good reputation.

The royal bank is naturally the best choice, because it is the bank of the imperial court.

After the waiter finished the introduction, Xia Tian didn't make him work in vain, and asked Xiao Xuanzi to exchange gold for hundreds of taels of money from the Royal Bank.

There are also several banks in the capital, and their banknotes circulate very well in the capital, replacing gold, silver and copper coins.

However, their bank is okay if they are in the capital, but it will not work if they are in other places. The semicolon cannot be done at all, and the risk is extremely high.
