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

Outside the customs, including the entire Liaodong, plus a piece of grassland to the west of the Liaohe River, it is now a veritable paradise. The people live and work in peace and contentment, the industry is prosperous, and there are many merchants. .

Daiyu was recuperating well, she was young and the prince got some good medicine from somewhere, she resumed work after a month of confinement—in terms of dedication, Daiyu was not inferior to those elites of later generations, but she worked almost until A strong woman just before giving birth.

Shui Rong had persuaded his wife to pay more attention to rest during pregnancy, but Daiyu obviously knew it well and found confidence in her work, so why would he throw cold water on her?

The palace has high salaries and benefits, and there is basically no suppression, but relatively, the work intensity is also very demanding.Nowadays, princes and concubines are all workaholics, following the prince who leads by example, even if he has the face of a veteran of the palace, if he slackens off two or three times, he will be "retired to the second line".

The territory of the Wangfu is still expanding, and there is a shortage of people in the three levels of high, middle and low levels. Shui Rong has always focused on his own family once again.

Because at this moment, Shui Rong's two younger brothers had wives in their arms. Although the two younger brothers and sisters were both under the age of eighteen, their in-laws were willing to marry them off, so Shui Rong just let the younger brothers marry.

Speaking of which, with the same textbooks and the same teacher, the two younger brothers are slightly inferior to the two younger sisters in mathematics, physics and chemistry.However, their grades are not as good as their sister's, but it doesn't mean that the two brothers don't use math, physics and chemistry artifacts when flirting with girls.

From the beginning of the Shui Rong Dynasty, it gradually brought about a trend. Guangning and even the entire Liaodong took pride in learning mathematics, physics and chemistry.

Shui Rong's two younger brothers and their wives became attached to each other because of the problem set—a collection of practical problems written by Shui Rong himself at that time, in order to entertain and teach, and cultivate interest in mathematics, physics and chemistry.

So the two younger brothers and sisters got married and were overjoyed when they learned that they could go to the Wangfu classroom to attend lectures while helping their mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

And the two younger sisters must strictly follow the requirement of "only to be able to get married", but the young couples are getting closer - anyway, Shui Rong doesn't mind his younger siblings falling in love under his nose at all. What's wrong with stuffing dog food?General Hong, the cheap uncle who was worried about nights and dreams, directly stuffed his second son who was about to become the son-in-law of the palace.

Shui Rong specially took the time to get a set of test papers, but his eldest brother-in-law's talent surprised him: this young man can learn calculus by himself after basic knowledge.Looking at this young man's teaching skills, Shui Rong is already tempted to send him to the Liaodong University that is under construction in the future, so he has booked a dean first.

Sui Yuan, who was able to understand calculus by himself in the past, is now almost the job of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry.

It is said that Qin Wang Shui Rong intends to go in person this time, bringing his two in-laws, General Leng and General Hong, and his younger brother will also bring one to practice with him, while the other younger brother will stay in Guangning City.

Why didn't you bring both younger brothers?Because the courtiers objected.

The important ministers and generals of the palace have all seen or heard that the prince is accompanied by a little golden dragon—not to mention those who have seen it personally, but no one from the group of people who heard about it expressed any objection, and they all looked like "so it is" Let me sigh with emotion: Don’t say anything else, just say that the fields near Liaodong City have reduced their production by half, and we still have a bumper harvest here... Who doesn’t know that the prince is very extraordinary!It is not certain which star king or fairy king in the sky is reborn.

When these words came back, they were water-soluble but laughed silently: Opening the favorability module, everyone inside and outside the palace had foreheads that were green to black, and he was numb.

Even so, everyone seemed to be no longer too cautious and careful about the prince's safety, but Shui Rong wanted to bring his younger brothers along, but his chief aide, who was deeply trusted by him, took the lead in opposing it.

Well, listen to people's advice and have a full meal.In front of the whole family, the two younger brothers decided the outcome by guessing fists, and in the end the older brother who was a little more stable "won the first prize".

Speaking of King Qin this time, Shui Rong didn't intend to rush directly into the imperial city after breaking the siege for the emperor.

If he was really confused by the title of "Prince Regent", he would definitely go...not to say that he will never return, but it will cost a lot of money to get out of the body, and it will cost the lives of precious veterans.

After discussing with his staff, Shui Rong's real plan is to win a few battles and increase his reputation. It is best to march troops across the Yellow River and reach the north of the Yangtze River, and then resettle the people who cannot eat and have to go north to Liaodong. .

In his era, Liaoning alone had a population of 4000 million, and the entire three eastern provinces had a population of more than 1000 million. Now his own farm has fully popularized the high-yield and cold-resistant varieties exchanged from the system. Even under the current climate conditions, tenant farmers in the palace We can achieve a yield of [-] to [-] catties per mu. This grain output...not to mention catching up with the Liaoning of later generations, at least [-] million people are not difficult to raise at all.

However, self-cultivating farmers and ordinary gentry families can get preliminary "castrated" seeds, and the yield per mu is [-]-[-]% lower than that of the suburban farms in Beijing at that time, but this is not only enough for the whole family to eat, but also can rely on selling grain in Liaodong Have a good time.

These self-cultivated farmers and gentry who lived a good life also had relatives and friends outside Liaodong, so the news spread into the customs... In recent years, there have been people from the Central Plains like Shandong and Henan with their families and their families going north along the coastline in fishing boats. To Guangning to make a living.

Those who can make up their minds to seek refuge are bankrupt peasant households who are better informed and motivated, and small businessmen and workers who have lost their jobs.Thinking about the illiteracy rate in the feudal era, it is not difficult to imagine that these "heads of the family" who dare to think and do and will not abandon their parents, wives and children are almost all talented people.

However, the rest of the people who are at a loss... Shui Rong will personally lead people there this time, and send the strong laborers and their families back to the outside of the pass.

Nowadays, land production has been greatly reduced. In order to obtain more food, wealthy gentry will buy land at a lower price, and the life of tenant farmers and self-cultivating farmers... To put it bluntly, if they really can't survive, can they rise up?It is conceivable that land annexation has become more and more serious, and this short few years is equivalent to the process of other feudal dynasties for decades.

The emperor can no longer control the gentry—an emperor who tried his best to barely maintain the imperial army and obeyed his orders would no longer dream of making all the officials and gentry obedient and loyal to the emperor, but he once ordered sailors to prevent the people from going north by boat It's just that no matter how difficult it is to get the soldiers' salaries, when the sailors are all supported by merchants and ship owners who transport people, the government orders are not to be said to be waste paper, at least it is difficult to leave the capital.

No matter how you look at it, the current situation is very similar to that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor is a bit like Emperor Chongzhen, but the current emperor is not as naive as Chongzhen, and he is not so self-willed: he can't do things like beheading generals and important officials in anger.It is precisely because he is not cruel that the court can maintain at least the face-saving harmony of "the monarch and his ministers win each other".

Of course, gnashing of teeth in private is always inevitable.

This time Concubine Wu did not hide her worry, she still hadn't recalled why the world was in chaos all of a sudden!The emperor didn't do any of the things that were warned in the history books!Cutting the feudal clan... didn't even make a serious move!

Don't say that Concubine Wu Gui didn't understand, the emperor was also at a loss before, or because the situation took a turn for the worse, it changed almost every day, so he was in a daze for a long time.

Just like most of the emperors who were in power when the feudal dynasty came to an end, they were at a loss for land annexation, and the current emperor is very unlucky, catching up with the Little Ice Age...

In fact, the emperor who has read all the history books has already realized the ending method: when the troubled times continue, half of the people die, and when the land can easily support the population, the crisis will resolve itself.However, at that time, Jiangshan is not his, or even his family's, it is hard to say.

Knowing that Shui Rong had already been ordered to enter the customs soon, the emperor was unavoidably sad, "He was actually able to command him... But he is short of people, so I can't do it this time to get people to leave."

Having said that, Concubine Wu Gui could see the relaxed expression on her face at a glance, so she said the truth, "If there are fewer people, you should take it easy."

The emperor nodded with a smile, and patted the back of Concubine Wu's hand lightly.

The current estimate of grain production outside the pass is based on the per-mu yield data provided by ordinary gentry. The two evils are the lesser of two evils. The emperor would rather King Jing of Beijing grow bigger outside the pass, and he does not want the rioters to threaten the capital.

It is really too much difference in size inside and outside the pass!With 100 million yuan on one side and only more than 20 million yuan on the other side, the emperor and even most officials felt that the Beijing Palace could really grow to the point where it could compete with the capital, at least ten or twenty years later.

But another noble concubine in the palace, Jia Guifei, was definitely not so optimistic.

Yuanchun's eldest aunt, the wife of Wang Ziteng, successfully brought her niece to the palace, but after winning the title of beauty, Mo Shuo complacently took advantage of her youth and beauty to make the two noble concubines look sideways. Yun Xiaopin has never been able to fight...

Xiao Yun used to be Shui Rong's fiancée, she was more than a bit more beautiful than this beauty, but she was promoted to concubine only after two miscarriages in two years, and became the lord of the first palace.

To be honest at this time, no one has the energy to deal with the belly anymore, Xiao Yun's two miscarriages are really her own fault.

Originally, Xiao Yun wanted to make use of the topic to tease Concubine Jia, but she didn't expect the emperor to sit in the concubine's room, and the next day she promoted herself to be the master... When it was time to live alone in the first palace, Xiao Yun realized that What is meant by "self-knowledge of coldness and warmth": the emperor has not visited the door for half a year.

But it is said that Yuan Chun, the cousin who "watches" far away, lived with Concubine Xiao after entering the palace... The emperor's attitude towards this beauty can be seen.

And within three months, this beauty followed Concubine Xiao obediently, like a bald quail.

Aunt Yuanchun is also a first-class imperial order after all, she was fooled by her natal family, now she looks at the situation of her niece, what can she not understand?When he entered the palace again, he paid more respect to Yuan Chun and Concubine Zhen.

On the contrary, Mrs. Wang became ill when she learned that her sister-in-law sent her niece into the palace, and she couldn't help being proud when she saw that the other party didn't have any good looks.

This time Baochai came to the palace to visit Yuanchun, to speak for her mother-in-law. Now that she has money and a way out, she is not very flattering, so she also said something to Yuanchun: the theme of Mrs. Wang's conversation with her daughter is still gloating...

Yuan Chun's expression didn't change at all, and he directly bypassed the words brought by her mother, and asked Baochai, "I heard that Zhuangzi at home is also in trouble?"

Baochai replied: "Our family's Zhuangzi are all in the northwest of the capital, and we can get them in the northwest camp and the outskirts of the capital. We have enough money, and we will be safe this year."

Yuan Chun nodded, "You are a decent person, I can trust you the most." This is Yuan Chun's sincere words. Both my aunt and mother are greedy, ruthless and stupid. Baochai has no lack of knowledge and means, "It's hard to say in the next few years. I will save some grain and silver, enough to spend. I heard that there were a few big households in the Central Plains who were the first to suffer when the chaos broke out. These are the few."

Baochai said knowingly: "We are next to the Zhuangzi of several old princes in the clan." It is bigger than the Zhuangzi in Rongfu, and there is more grain in the grain storehouse. Back to the mansion, just in case, I will definitely not still guard Zhuangzi."

Having personally experienced his grandfather's bravery and domineering, Yuan Chun naturally sneered, "It's too scary to die."

"Who would spare their lives in an old man's house?" Baochai also laughed, "The King of Jingjing has left the customs, so there will be no chaos in the capital anyway."

Yuan Chun immediately regained her spirits: she knew that her cousin, the sister-in-law, was valued by the King of Beijing. "Is this accurate?"

Sure enough.

At this moment, Shui Rong's soldiers had just defeated a group of mobs who had risen up -- tens of thousands of mobs.He deliberately let go of the leader and more than a hundred of his soldiers, and then "packed" more than 1 prisoners and loaded them on a cargo ship bound for Guangning.

The cargo ship was contacted by Xue Biao, and the two Fuchuan and several small boats newly built by Shui Rong were in charge of escorting.

However, in Shui Rong's eyes, the small boat itself is at least a circle larger than the merchant ship carrying goods.

Shui Rong said to the two generals and his younger brother beside him: "Knowing that there are these two big ships, the emperor probably won't make any dirty tricks when we go back."

Because Shui Rong can go back to Guangning by boat instead of going by land, the emperor has nothing to do about it... The sailors in the bay are so poor that they have to go fishing by themselves...

A few days later, General Wu, who was sitting in the northwest camp, received a secret report that King Jingjing had driven the bandits south. He sighed to Wang Ziteng who was sitting beside him, "The situation has come!"

Wang Ziteng nodded: the thoughts in his heart are very real, but luckily he didn't offend him too much back then.

The author has something to say: I have a cold...
