Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian looked up and saw the fixed observation telescope on the side of the scaffolding.

There was not even a trace of dust on the telescope, it had been wiped clean.

Apparently, Zhang Yan uses it often.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Youjian sighed.

Even if he adopted Zhu Cijiong to Zhang Yan...

But she is a young woman after all, and it is indeed torture to stay in this small palace all day long!

"There is a big court tomorrow, and it's the first day of the New Year. I can't escape.

Tomorrow afternoon, I will take you out for a walk. "

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhu Cijiong got out of Zhang Yan's arms.

"Father, are you going to the streets of the capital?"

Even Zhang Yan stared at Zhu Youjian with red eyes.

His face is full of longing...

"Not just the capital!"

Zhu Youjian smiled:

"The railway from the capital has been connected to Xiangyang in the south. Although it has not yet reached Xiangyang City, it has already passed Taipingdian.

If you want to go to Xiangyang in the south...

Just take a carriage ride and you can see the majesty of the first city in China.

To the east, the railway has also been built through Dengzhou City.

According to the estimated construction period, Nanyang City will be connected in three months.

Dengzhou is only a hundred miles away from Nanyang, and it's all plains, so riding a carriage is not bumpy at all.

We can also go and see the majesty of the five major capitals in the world.

By the way, the Prince of Tang’s palace in Nanyang is very unique, especially his Wangfu Mountain, which is a masterpiece!

Towards the north, the railway has already passed through Shangnan, and it is expected that it will be able to open up the Qinling Mountains in another two years.

By that time, the Shaanxi Railway had been built at least as far as Aoerdusi (Ordos).

Of course, we still can’t go to the grassland now.

However, it is possible to go see the majesty of the Qinling Mountains!

Or you can take a boat down to see the splendor of the three towns of Wuchang!

With a steamboat, it doesn’t matter where you want to go! "

Zhu Youjian laughed:

"As the saying goes, it is better to travel a thousand miles than to read thousands of books.

Let’s all go, bring everyone with us, and have a traveling year!

Go and see the majesty of the Ming Dynasty and the unrivaled beauty of the famous mountains and rivers. "

After hearing the emperor's words, Zhang Yan's lips curled up into a smile, with longing in her eyes...

But he shook his head firmly:

"I am deeply grateful for your Majesty's kindness.

However, we are from the Heavenly Family, and we have always spent a lot of money out of the palace.

Today is a time when everything is busy and there are stalls everywhere asking for money.

Let’s stop the matter of leaving the palace!

We cannot be extravagant and wasteful because of our own selfish desires.

Every time our family spends a copper plate, the people will be robbed of hundreds of taels of silver.

We go out of the palace once, it seems inconspicuous, but it is a disaster for the people! "

Zhang Yan shook her head firmly.

She also wants to leave the palace...

But she can't!

Zhu Cijiong was originally smiling, but his father finally wanted to take them out of the palace to play.

However, seeing Zhang Yan refusing to leave the palace, she couldn't help but pray:

"Auntie, please, just agree, okay?

Just once, let’s go out and see it! "

Zhu Cijiong grabbed Zhang Yan's hand and shook it vigorously, his face full of pleading.

Zhang Yan shook her head firmly.

With so many people in the palace, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to dispatch...

More than one hundred thousand.

She couldn't let the emperor get a bad reputation because of her own selfish desires!

"Eat, eat first!"

Zhu Youjian stood up with a smile:

"The royal sister-in-law should remember one thing - those who grow up in the deep palace...

How do you know the firewood, rice, oil and salt?

How can I take care of this house?

Our ancestors have a saying that goes well - Diligence without frugality leads to a bottomless pit; frugality without diligence leads to water without a source!

Sister-in-law and third child, you should remember: increasing revenue and reducing expenditure are complementary to each other.

Just cutting back on expenditures, just like I did 17 years ago, is full of patches, even if the harem is frugal to death, it will not be able to support this country!

Just increasing the income is just like I increase the rates. If I add a penny, it will be just one tael of silver when it comes to the people. Even if the people are killed, they still can't support this country!

If the country wants long-term peace and stability, it not only needs to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but more importantly, it needs supervision.

A healthy imperial court can support two unemployed people if one person gives birth. This is the normal state.

As long as supervision is in place, going to the moon is no big deal!

Not to mention mentioning the palace once...

The matter of leaving the palace has been decided! "

Zhang Yan wanted to persuade her again, but she saw that Zhu Youjian had already stood up and walked towards Nuanyang Palace.

Zhang Yan sighed and prepared to find an opportunity later to talk to the Zhou family and let Empress Zhou persuade the emperor...

……

With the arrival of Zhu Youjian, the dinner officially began.

The eunuchs of Shangshan Supervisor filed in, carrying food boxes one by one.

A portion of dishes, although not very rare, but rich in fish and meat, were placed on the table.

The long table is filled with various dishes from the southeast and northwest.

Although there is no abalone, shark fin, bear paw, or deer belly.

However, there are also a lot of prawns, crabs, and sixty-year-old crabs.

Zhu Youjian sat in the main seat, and opposite him was the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

Several concubines, as well as several concubines of Emperor Tianqi, sat on the left, and the six women of Chongzhen sat on the right. Queen Zhang was on his right, one seat higher than the Zhou family.

The third prince, Princess Zhu Yuluo of Kunxing, and Princess Zhu Yuni of Zhaoren sat at the other end of the long table, next to the prince.

Zhu Youjian raised his glass:

"The Jiashen Year has passed, and the disaster of the Ming Dynasty has passed!

From now on, it will be a day for us to enjoy happiness!

After drinking a glass of wine, all the hardships for the Ming Dynasty are finally over, congratulations! "

Everyone raised their glasses.

Saying auspicious words, he drank wine with the emperor.

The maid came forward and filled everyone's cups one by one.

Zhu Youjian raised his glass and looked at Li Kangfei and others:

"Dear aunties, I have been neglectful in the past when the country was not at peace.

Please! "

“For the sake of this country, the emperor worked hard, day and night.

Emperor please! "

Li Kangfei and others quickly raised their glasses.

Zhu Youjian smiled and drank the wine.

Several concubines drank wine one after another.

The palace maid behind her stepped forward to help everyone fill up.

Li Kangfei smiled a little strangely and said:

"Emperor, let's forget it. We are all the emperor's elders, and we should take care of our Zhu family.

On the contrary, it was quite difficult for Queen Yi'an.

You should propose a toast to Queen Yi'an. "

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the venue, and Zhou's face suddenly became extremely embarrassed.

Zhang Yan was also a little flustered.

And all the concubines looked at Concubine Li Kang in astonishment.

The three women left behind by Tianqi looked in disbelief.

Chongzhen's Concubine Liu, Concubine Fang and others looked at Empress Zhou.

The scene became weird.

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Youjian smiled.

No matter how low his emotional intelligence is, he still knows that Li Kangfei has bad intentions.

As expected of Xili!

This ability to stir things up should not be underestimated!
