The Red Mansion's Dress to Become the King of Beijing

Adding the six or seven years since passing through, Shui Rong's actual age will be four soon. This is his first child. One can imagine his mood: facial paralysis can make his face beam with joy.

In front of his younger siblings, his old priest, and the servant girl who used to be close to him, Shui Rong hugged the furry Daiyu and sat down, even more inhumane, "Wearing so much, it feels good...Aren't you hot?"

Daiyu blushes routinely, and she can't figure out whether her face is hot or not?

Marrying the prince's face is getting thicker and thicker, and she feels nothing wrong with being intimate in front of everyone like this, but her face seems to have its own ideas!

"It's hot, after walking these few steps," she said frankly, covering her face, "I'm almost sweating." After speaking, she turned her eyes on Zijuan and Hongyu who were smiling, "Both The girl thought I was going out to meet you, and forced me to wear so many clothes."

Before Shui Rong stepped into the courtyard gate, there was a young eunuch guarding the courtyard gate who quickly ran away to report the news after saluting.I am very happy today, and Daiyu will definitely want to go out to greet her... The snow that fell yesterday is still piled in a corner of the yard, and the ground is still slightly slippery with soot. The fluffy meat ball rolls on the ground...

Shui Rong laughed when he thought of this, "Go back to the house and change this pile of clothes."

Daiyu responded with a smile, greeted everyone, and went inside.

The sister-in-law went to change clothes, and the third brother and eldest sister congratulated their eldest brother in unison without making eye contact.

Let the younger siblings sit by his side, Shui Rong ordered the chief eunuch to report to the concubine, and said to the butler Wang Dong who hurried over, "Everyone will add three months." First, I will give everyone a red envelope. Also hand it over to Wang Dong.

After Wang Dong also congratulated him, he resigned and went to work, and walked with the old priest who had explained the precautions for abortion.

The third brother and eldest sister felt that they should not get in the way, and just about to say goodbye, they were pushed back to their seats by Shui Rong, "I'm very happy with you big brother, if you want to ask me anything, this shop won't exist after passing this village."

The eldest sister was a little more thoughtful and still hesitating, but the more straightforward third brother had already spoken... The eldest sister was also discouraged when she heard this, and together with the third brother, "Big brother will help us."

The older sister is different from the younger sister, it is common for the younger sister to be coquettish, but the older sister has always been like the eldest daughter, and has never been self-willed. Seeing her soft-spoken and begging, Shui Rong feels quite fresh.

It turned out that the third brother fell in love with the eldest daughter of General Leng, and the eldest sister saw the right way with the second son of General Hong.

The year when Shui Rong returned to Guangning, the annual meeting was held - the palace already had a custom of hosting a banquet at the end of the year to invite the retainers of the palace to manage affairs, but it was not as extensive as Shui Rong's annual meeting.

Except for the generals guarding the border and the stewards who are on duty in important positions, all the high-level officials in the palace will receive invitations. They must bring their families and their spouses with them. Children must be at least [-] years old before they can attend together.

The original idea of ​​Shui Rong was that the middle and high-level officials of the palace could expand their contacts at the annual meeting, which is also a rare opportunity for young people to meet each other.No matter how tough the folk customs outside the customs are, it has not reached the point where there are no restrictions on the exchanges between young men and women in later generations.

Marriage in this era naturally pays attention to "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", but in general, parents seldom don't care about the personal wishes of their children.Therefore, the prince appointed a blind date meeting, and none of his subordinates objected.

Of course, Shui Rong also has some "selfish desires": it can pave the way for the younger sister to marry Sui Yuan.But the two younger sisters had to be at least eighteen years old before he would allow them to marry.

Shui Rong held the blind date that came with the annual meeting for three years, and he has made several young couples. As for the younger siblings, he is not surprised at all.

The reason why the younger brothers and sisters hesitated was also because according to the usual practice, in order to win over the hearts of the generals and to restrain them, they would put the eldest son of the general who led the army next to King Beijing.

The current situation is that the eldest sons of General Leng and General Hong are all by their father's side. If the third brother and eldest sister want to marry their current lovers as they wish, it is almost equivalent to giving General Leng and General Hong another "gold medal for avoiding death" .

The third brother and the eldest sister have learned some "terrible" courses, how can they not know that in the eyes of the eldest brother, they are definitely not "siblings for marriage"?That's why they hesitate and even feel a little guilty when they fall in love with someone from a sensitive family.

But what is this in the eyes of Shui Rong?

Based on the current treatment in the army, General Leng and General Hong, veterans who have led troops for ten years and are very prestigious, want to make trouble, but they have to be swarmed up by their subordinates and instantly restrained, and then tied up and sent to Shui Rong—— Feng doesn't want to live anymore, don't pull us!We are having a great time!

Shui Rong waved his hand, "Mother Concubine knew about it a long time ago, right?"

The third brother and the eldest sister nodded silently.

That's all for the third brother, after all, he is not his own, and even the eldest sister refuses to make decisions, his stepmother is really cautious as always, Shui Rong ordered, "Call someone over later and I will see for myself."

The third brother's eyes lit up, and he stood up abruptly, "Brother, thank you." Just at this moment when Daiyu came out after changing clothes, the third brother turned his head and grinned, "Thank you too, sister-in-law, my little nephew! "

Shui Rong laughed and scolded: "It's too much trouble, get out!"

The third younger brother turned around, and then went out excitedly, which meant that he was rushing to announce the good news to his sweetheart.The eldest sister was much calmer in comparison, she said "don't disturb my brother", and after bidding farewell to Daiyu, she also ran away happily.

In fact, the clothes had been changed a long time ago. Daiyu listened to her uncle and sister-in-law talking to the prince. She suddenly appeared and disturbed the atmosphere of "confession and leniency", so she followed silently in the room separated by a wall.

At this moment, all the uncles and sisters-in-law had withdrawn, so she stepped forward and hugged the prince's arm naturally, "I have the impression of the eldest daughter of the Leng family and the second son of the Hong family," she also smiled at this point, "These two They're all the kind...well, the ones you can spot in the crowd at a glance."

Shui Rong smiled helplessly: "I knew it." Yan control is really an old tradition of the Shui family.

Daiyu said again: "I see that these two are not just good-looking. I am familiar with the eldest girl of the Leng family... Isn't the exercise set of our palace released, and those who wish to take the bait? I heard that she herself Eighty to ninety percent of it can be done.”

Shui Rong lowered his head and kissed Daiyu's face, "I'm in love with you... I feel at ease, just like the two of us."

After hearing this, Daiyu narrowed her eyes, slipped into her husband's arms, and did not move.

But it was said that Shui Rong's third brother and eldest sister came out of the elder brother's yard and went to the concubine's room together... a double announcement of good news.

Concubine Toffee is obviously the kind of mother who cares about her child's wishes and feelings. She is happy when her daughter gets what she wants, and the concubine who has always been sensible and caring for his daughter also gets his wish, and she will be happy for him.

Just when the news of Daiyu's pregnancy came, the concubine was even more relieved: after three or four years of marriage, the concubine's stomach has not moved. The concubine is not incomprehensible, the concubine is too young!

Daiyu doesn't love money and doesn't have much desire to control, and she is very measured in words and deeds. She really likes the concubine. The concubine will inevitably despise the two masters of the Rongguo Mansion again. Selling out the daughter of my own sister!

Take the Hong family, the concubine's natal family, as an example. She and her cousin, who is also the old prince's original spouse, are both high-ranking marriages. The natal family even made her and her cousin both reach the age of eighteen before reluctantly sending their daughter to marry. .

Thinking of this, the concubine specially called Shui Rong's second brother and younger sister, and carefully instructed the four children: "Listen to your elder brother in everything, and respect and love your sister-in-law."

In fact, the Shui family chooses a mate not only based on looks, but also whether they have common topics.

The husband and wife nestled together side by side, Daiyu almost touched the pillow, and Shui Rong routinely figured out and chatted with Xiaoxiang before going to bed.

The timing is almost the same, and the teaching of science and engineering for the children of wealthy families can also start.

Popular science education for civilians has been carried out for two years, in the name of cultivating apprentices and craftsmen, and does not teach the Four Books and Five Classics, but ideological education has not been relaxed: repeatedly emphasized and required students, including teachers, to at least abide by the law .

Water Soluble provides ideas and requirements, and the teaching materials are edited by the small icon that has been upgraded again.

In fact, if this new type of school is placed in the south of the Yangtze River, it will definitely be boycotted by the officials and gentry.

However, in Quang Ninh, water soluble can be decided with one word.In fact, there is no shortage of "highly educated" aides and military advisers with imperial examination backgrounds in the palace. For example, Mr. Sui Yuan Sui, if it weren't for "unfortunate fate", it is hard to say that the first-class is hard to say. With his strength, the second-class is stable. These are the people. One jumped out against these very fresh means and initiatives of water-soluble.

Because the workshops and factories in the palace—that is, the super-large workshops—are too profitable. More importantly, according to the words of the prince, the strong rise of workshops and factories has solved the livelihood of a large number of farmers who lost their land or lost their land. .

In the past few years, it has been unbearably cold. In the second winter of the prince's reign, more than half of the farmers in the north of Guangning gave up their land and came directly to Guangning to work-the money earned by a middle-aged couple is enough to buy food and pay. Taxes and breadwinners.

As long as you live in Guangning for a month, you will be able to "happily miss Shu".It is now the fourth year that Shui Rong has returned to Guangning. There are basically no farmers in the north of Guangning, only a small number of hunters and herdsmen will go to the north to hunt and herd in summer and autumn.

All in all, in three years, the population of Quang Ninh has more than doubled to nearly 50.

Shui Rong thought about expanding to the west when his daughter was born, helping the emperor clear up external worries, so that he could concentrate on dealing with internal troubles: many people in the Central Plains could no longer eat.

However, he was still too optimistic. Four months later, Daiyu's belly was protruding, and the intelligence officer Mei Fei's subordinates sent news by sea: the harvest in the Central Plains this year was even worse than last year.It happened to be able to confirm each other with the news sent back by Xue Biao, the chief executive of the "express" who was in the south of the Yangtze River.

Three or four years ago, a large number of self-cultivating farmers began to buy land in order to survive the most difficult time, and the gentry took advantage of the fire to lower the price. No one expected that the next year would always be more difficult.

So in just a few years, the land annexation has intensified. It should be noted that this dynasty has only been established for a hundred years, and the situation of land annexation is as strong as that of the previous dynasty.

In front of all his confidants, Shui Rong sighed softly, "Actually, I would like to sell food to the emperor, but it's a pity that your majesty...you have such a villainous heart."

Yes, when the emperor urgently dispatched the frontier army to the Central Plains to quell the civil unrest, he still did not forget that Baili urgently ordered Shi Ding to guard the Shanhaiguan Pass and not allow one person from the Beijing Palace to enter the pass.

Some of the confidants were expressionless, while others sneered.

Shui Rong continued: "He is not benevolent and I am not righteous. Taking advantage of the good weather, we send troops to the west. Small and medium-sized tribes can bring them back directly, and large tribes have to be shaved before bringing them back... There are not enough horses, and there is always less confidence. .”

In short, go to the west to rob people and livestock, especially horses!

In order to survive in these years, there are quite a few tribes who have taken the initiative to come here. Even the exotic-looking men, women, old and young in Guangning City do not attract the attention of the local people. Most of them are relatively simple and hardworking, so they live well Yes, after gaining a firm foothold in this era, these aliens are very disciplined - on the one hand, they cherish the hard-won life now, on the other hand, there are many and strong soldiers in Guangning.

Shui Rongzheng had just inspected the big camp, and after discussing with the little icon, he decided to advance the plan: why do you have to fight when it is freezing?Although at that time the enemy often had no fighting power.

After discussing the details with the military advisers and generals, he announced the adjournment of the meeting, and asked his servants to call the stewards in charge of the iron factory to ask about the learning situation of the steelmaking process in the factory.

Through the system query, I learned that the train appeared in the middle of the [-]th century. Now Guangning has rapidly absorbed labor, "importing" craftsmen from the southeast coast and the central part, and relying on Mr. Lu to "seduce" several indigenous scientists. The local technology The level is at least equivalent to that of the early nineteenth century.

With the technical guidance exchanged from krypton gold in the system, Shui Rong is confident that he can complete a few simple tasks related to trains within two years. After all, the steel for making rails and steam engines is available now, but what bothers him more is shipbuilding. ... This task has been suspended for some days, but because he failed to actually control Lushun - without an ice-free port in his hands, it is really difficult to expand.

Even if the governor of Liaodong is about to become his own family, it will not work, because there are troops stationed on the line from Liaodong City to Lushun, and there are also sailors, infantry and cavalry. Thanks to the prosperity and prosperity of Guangning, the [-] people stationed in Liaodong are probably the best. It is also the most comfortable frontier army-there are too many large caravans docking in Lushun. The soldiers at the bottom can eat and drink enough just by collecting filial piety, and the upper class may be rich.

With the quantity and quality of the elite in Shui Rong's hands, there is no problem at all in defeating the [-] people in Liaodong.

Although he has no conscience, Shui Rong still hopes that the emperor will be more distressed this year, so that next year he can almost "sit back and pay back the money", and asks the emperor to "give" the whole outside of the pass to him: Xia's tax revenue is not uniform, the emperor is stretched, and the Liaodong frontier army probably needs to pay for it. Withdraw, or at least send out to maintain law and order.

The emperor's struggle took longer than Shui Rong had expected, but Shui Rong was not worried: this year he prepared hardy seeds for his farm, so the harvest was better than last year.It's just that the self-cultivating farmers in Guangning don't have this kind of treatment, but no matter how little they harvest, they can harvest more food than when they use non-high-yielding seeds and catch up with good weather... and a hundred catties more.

By the way, Shui Rong still kept in touch with the Wu family after the feudal clan. However, the Wu family has not received a letter or a message recently. Shui Rong guesses that the emperor is very anxious now, and the Wu family does not want to provoke him. avoid suspicion".

Interestingly, it was Wang Ziteng who stood up again and tactfully suggested that the emperor buy grain from the King of Beijing: Borrowing grain or bluntly saying grabbing grain, it is really impossible to say, because it is impossible.

The guards of the Beijing Prince's Mansion are strong and strong, and the emperor's own elite have... been starving for the past few years. If they recklessly leave the pass and head north, they will definitely not be able to fight. Don't forget that the outside of the pass is much colder than the capital.

As for blackmailing King Beijing by cutting off Guangning's lifeline for external communication, the emperor didn't think about it. He didn't do it because it couldn't be done!

Since ancient times, threats to the country have never come from the sea, but only from the northwest and outside the customs.After the emperor ascended the throne, he invested very little in the sailors. Now that the sailors are required to go out in battle, it is not about whether they can beat them, but whether the sailors are willing to listen to him!

The sailors have been short of food and pay for many years, and they are more hungry than the elite frontier soldiers. Thinking about it, I can't count how much money they got from the big merchants... The emperor sat on the dragon chair for so long, it is really dreamy and naive: if he orders a sea ban, he will be obedient and obedient. All light.

Seeing the emperor's frowning, Concubine Wu Guifei thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid something will change if I make an order hastily." After so many years, I have won the trust of the king, and I dare to say, "The sailors must be in collusion with coastal merchants. There are many hungry people in the Central Plains. It is still necessary for the gentry and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River to provide money and food for relief, so it is not easy to force them too much at this time."

In the last years of the first emperor's reign, he favored scholar-bureaucrats in order to suppress nobles, and the emperor inherited these measures of his father after he ascended the throne.Right now, in order to tide over the difficulties, the emperor has increased the salt tax, which has increased the taxes in Jiangnan, Huguang. At this time, it is indeed as Aifei said, that it cannot be forced too much.

So when Daiyu entered the delivery room, Mei Fei came to report in person: The Liaodong Frontier Army was ordered to enter the customs.

It is now the ninth month of the lunar calendar and October of the Gregorian calendar. According to the weather conditions in the past few years, the first snow is very close. If you don’t take advantage of this time to set off, you may freeze to death on the road in another month. Don’t look at Liaodong City In fact, it is not far from the capital city.

Shui Rong nodded.

Mei Fei reported another big news—it's not important, why did he chase the prince to the door of the delivery room to disturb the prince, the governor of Liaodong was about to be replaced.

In fact, the governor has no control over military affairs. In the true sense, the top leader who governs a province or multiple provinces, the military ~ political ~ grabs the governor rather than the governor.

Shui Rong just smiled when he heard this, "It seems that I have implicated my in-laws?"

Mei Fei replied: "The governor handed over the booklet, begging for the bones."

Shui Rong said: "I really understand people."

Mei Fei continued: "The lord specially sent someone to bring a message, saying that he has always been interested in steelmaking..."

Academic bureaucrats are not a modern specialty, and Shui Rong readily agreed, "I can't ask for it."

At this moment, the small icon suddenly flickered, "Hemorrhage." Then the system mall suddenly jumped out, covering Shui Rong's sight.Appeared in the middle of the field of vision, the same hemostatic special effect medicine, symptomatic and affordable, water-soluble direct krypton gold to buy, rushed into the delivery room.

The servants and maids on duty couldn't react, and in fact, they might not even dare to stop them.Shui Rong dodged to Daiyu's side, squeezed his chin and stuffed the pills he bought into Daiyu's mouth.

Daiyu was conscious at this moment, she remembered that the prince secretly stuffed medicine into her mouth several times, after swallowing the medicine and sleeping, all symptoms disappeared.When she saw Dahong, the prince came again... So she smiled reassuringly, showing her trust.

However, in Shui Rong's eyes, this smile was extremely fragile.He was very distressed, and was about to speak, but was blocked by Daiyu who was buoyed up by the special medicine that took effect immediately, "You go out first." At the scene, Daiyu clearly saw that the midwife was either at a loss or her hands were shaking.

Shui Rong obviously realized it too, he got up and left, "I'll wait for you outside."

A quarter of an hour later, the good news came that Shui Rong had a daughter, and both mother and child were safe.

To be honest, Daiyu was a little disappointed, but when she saw her pink and tender daughter, she immediately filled her heart with joy, and felt that all the hardships were worth it.After a little cleaning, Shui Rong let Daiyu come in.

Seeing his daughter... Of course, Shui Rong has to hug her, and kiss her mother first.

The prince's reaction completely reassured Daiyu.The couple got bored for a while, and Daiyu lay down to rest, still falling asleep as soon as she touched the pillow... Shui Rong hugged her and fell asleep as quickly as her mother after drinking milk. Appearing suddenly... really suddenly appearing in front of Shui Rong.

Even if the small icon is not mentioned, Shui Rong, who is blessed by the system, knows that in front of him... This little golden dragon flying in front of his eyes... The little golden dragon with colorful exhaust when flying is transformed from a small icon...

But Shui Rong's confidants who were planning to congratulate the prince in the inner study didn't know!

The whole study room resounded with the sound of "Qi Shu Shu" inhaling, and the needle could be heard again.

"Your taste remains the same as before," said the colorful one, Shui Rong, who still maintains a baby-holding posture, commenting on the little icon, "It's just that your operation...is a bit flamboyant."
