Why are you so anxious?

Chapter 114 Extra Volume: Beef Chapter

After an autumn rain, the sky is getting shorter and shorter every day.Although the sun is still scorching in the middle of the day, the wind cools down early in the evening.Because Jun Shaoyu participated in the imperial examination incognito at the beginning of August, although Zhuang Lin had already prepared the imperial decree to repair the examination room before that, and changed many torture rules, calling the examinee Not as hard as previous years.But after nine days of tossing and tossing, it still caused Jun Shaoyou, who had been used to being pampered and pampered in the past few years, to complain endlessly.After returning to the palace, the general will be raised for more than half a month, and it is only now that he has relieved his breath.

It's just that this person is also lazier than before.

It was almost noon, and Jun Shaoyou was still lying on the bed and refused to get up.The midday wind gently blows the veil in the hall, and a few cicadas can be faintly heard outside.There are leaves rustling with the autumn wind.There are large aquariums standing in the local area and in all corners, and there are ice floes and various flower petals in the aquariums.There is a little girl wearing red half-arms and a yellow skirt, holding a royal fan and standing next to the sea tank to fan the wind.The gentle cool breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers permeated the entire dormitory.This made Zhuang Lin, who had just left court, feel refreshed as soon as he walked into the hall.

Stretching out his hand to stop the eunuchs who saw him about to pay their respects, Zhuang Lin tiptoed to the bed, stretched out his hand to lift the covered gauze curtain, and quietly looked at Jun Shaoyou's sleeping face for a while.Jun Shaoyou on the couch originally got up with Zhuang Lin in the morning. After breakfast, he accompanied Zhuang Lin around the martial arts arena. After Zhuang Lin went to court, he went back to the study and wrote a few essays , Accompanied his son to recite a book.When it was time for my son to go to the front to listen to the Prince Taifu's class, he returned to the dormitory to catch up on a sleep.At this moment, he was sleeping in a daze, and in his dream, he noticed a burning gaze that kept looking at him, and he stretched out his hand and shook it twice - that gaze was sticking like a fly.

Jun Shaoyou took a breath of boredom, his thick eyelashes trembled for a while, struggled for a long time before he half-closed his eyes at Zhuang Lin who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and asked vaguely Said: "What time is it?"

"It's almost noon." Zhuang Lin said as he tore off the dragon robe casually.The sharp-eyed Gongbi immediately stepped forward to undress Zhuang Lin.Zhuang Lin waved his hand carelessly to dismiss the crowd, took off his coat and fell on the couch, smiled and said to Jun Shaoyou: "Don't get up, I will accompany you for a while."

As soon as Zhuang Lin lay down, Jun Shaoyou smelled the smell of sweat on Zhuang Lin's body with a keen nose. He stretched out his hand and pushed Zhuang Lin, and said, "You are sweating profusely. Go take a bath and change clothes first, and wait to clean up." When you are done, go to the Tai Chi Hall and have lunch with the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor. I heard that the Empress Dowager specifically ordered the Imperial Dining Room to stew your favorite mutton for you today."

"It's a hot day, you will get angry if you eat mutton?" Zhuang Lin hesitated, and said: "Besides, I don't like to eat mutton that much. Ask the imperial dining room to prepare more beef in the future."

Since Zhuang Lin ascended the throne, in order to satisfy his daughter-in-law's desire for food and drink, the first thing he did was to encourage the Ministry of Industry to come forward and lead folk artisans to brainstorm ways to improve farming tools in ancient books and folk examples from the previous dynasty.Therefore, it is a matter of benefiting the country and the people, and consolidating the foundation of the country. Even if the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty looked down on the "exotic and ingenious tricks", they would not disagree with the new emperor at this moment.There are even many flatterers who cooperate more in order to please the emperor, so in just a few months, the Ministry of Industry has achieved results.Not only have many convenient agricultural tools been developed from ancient books, but a director of the Ministry of Industry even invented a set of Jiangdong plows that can help farmers save a lot of time when plowing the land.Under Zhuang Linlongyan's great joy, he not only rewarded the principal with a hundred taels of gold, but even more generously named him "Jiangdong Marquis".After the news came out, people with lofty ideals in the government and the opposition were greatly encouraged.Not only have there been many innovations in agricultural equipment, but there have also been breakthroughs in fortifications and even military equipment. It is really a surprise.

After the development of agricultural tools was somewhat effective, Zhuang Lin immediately promoted the improved agricultural tools to the whole country, which greatly liberated the labor force in the field.It has attracted countless people to sing praises, so there is no need to elaborate on this matter.In this way, the demand for farming cattle among the people is not so great, and Zhuang Lin advocated opening the market with Fanbang, and introduced a lot of cattle that are not suitable for farmland (mostly buffaloes in private farmland). The decree that forbade the consumption of beef cattle was enacted.It is grandiose to add beef cattle to the procurement of ingredients in the imperial dining room.

Although the court's explanation on the surface is that the official purchases are yellow cattle imported from Fanbang, not buffaloes for farming.But if there is something good in the top, it must be done in the bottom.Since Zhuang Lin ascended the throne, the custom of eating cattle among the people has greatly increased, which has also prompted many quick-sighted and quick-witted businessmen to find business opportunities and travel thousands of miles to the Mobei grassland to purchase various types of cattle and sheep and return them to the Central Plains for sale.Many people even brought in healthy breeding cattle from the grasslands to raise them. For a while, the private cattle industry was in full swing. For the first time, restaurants and restaurants specializing in beef appeared in the market, attracting people with appetites. The guests flock to it.

In the final analysis, it was only because Queen Jun loved meat the most in her life.There are even rumors among the folks that the reason why the Empress Jun's good looks and intelligence are all because she likes to eat beef.Once this rumor spread, from the princes and nobles to the common people, more and more people like Da Chu to eat beef.It is not only the taste and taste of the beef itself that attracts them, but more because they hope that if they eat more beef, they will be like the empress in the future, and once the carp leaps over the Hongmen, it will rise to the blue sky.

The rumors became more and more popular in the later stage. When Jun Shaoyou participated in the Mid-Autumn Enke Entrance Examination anonymously, when the list was released, he won the first place and reached the peak.Although at that time there were scholars who raised their sons clamoring about the court's malpractice and intentionally flattering the queen, but after Zhuang Lin personally decreed to post all the test papers that passed the exam on the wall of the Ministry of Rites, everyone saw Jun Shaoyou's answer sheet with their own eyes. Sure enough, every word is pearls and words, with far-reaching ideas.Even the test papers of Tanhua Erjia Chuanlu, the second place in the list, are all beautiful in rhetoric and meaningful in their words. They are really beautiful articles that are not afraid of fire.Only then did he bow his head and admit defeat.At the same time, the beef shops in the market are becoming more and more popular.It even developed to the point that "if you want to take the imperial examination for high school, you must eat a bowl of beef before the end".

So when Jun Shaoyou heard Zhuang Lin's words, he glanced at Zhuang Lin with a smile that was not a smile, and said casually: "Yes, it's a pity that I have become the number one scholar, rich and prosperous, and live a beautiful life, so I don't have much to eat beef The purpose. I really want to eat mutton today. I also specially ordered the imperial dining room to open a jar of century-old wine, so that you can enjoy it. You don’t like it, so I will ask the imperial dining room to make it later The beef is given to you, and I also tell you to make up for it, maybe there will be some big opportunities in the future, and I don’t know."

Hmph, don't think he doesn't know what's going on with the rumors that suddenly became popular in Beijing.If it is said that the previous rumors were all private squabbles about people's greed for glory and wealth.However, the rumors that spread suddenly after he won the No. [-] Scholar must be fueled by Jin Yiwei.And Jin Yiwei has always been Zhuang Lin, without Zhuang Lin's permission, they would never dare to act without permission.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out, why did Zhuang Lin push this matter so thankfully?If it is to divert attention because of the turmoil when he won the first prize, it is not necessary?

Jun Shaoyou went straight to wonder, but Zhuang Lin laughed foolishly. Regardless of Jun Shaoyou's disgust with his sweaty body, he rubbed close to him, and coaxed in a low voice: "I knew that with the lady's golden eyes and fiery eyes, Jin Yiwei Your actions will definitely not escape your eyes. It's just that my lady listens to my explanation, and I also have difficulties."

Jun Shaoyou snorted coldly, squinted at Zhuang Lin and said nothing.

Seeing Zhuang Lin clearing his throat in embarrassment, he opened his mouth to explain: "I don't know, since I became the emperor for my husband, my life is not as good as when I was in the palace. The emperor is rich in the world, and he speaks nicely, but he himself When I checked the internal treasury after I ascended the throne, I found out that the entire internal treasury only had less than 50 taels of silver. You said that I take care of everything every day, and this mere money is enough for me to do? It’s not enough to pay Jin Yiwei half a year’s salary."

"So Your Majesty ordered Jin Yiwei to open a beef shop?" Jun Shaoyou asked, dumbfounded.

Zhuang Lin heyed twice, raised his hand and scratched his head, and explained: "It's not just for making money. This organization caravan goes to the grassland to purchase beef, and then sends it back to Kyoto for breeding and sales through various places in Dachu. What is needed along the way The more eyeliner you have, the more information you can inquire about. It is for this that I decided to do this business."

After a pause, he bumped Jun Shaoyou's shoulder with his strong shoulder, and said thieves: "Don't worry, my lady, as long as I have half of my business, I won't use your reputation for nothing." of."

"I'm just curious. When others become emperors, they all pretend to be hypocrites and are ashamed of their words. Only His Majesty becomes emperor. How can you find the government affairs that have not been dealt with? Instead, use your power to start a business." Jun Shaoyou Shaking his head in disbelief, he said: "My Da Chu established the dynasty not long ago, and there have been years of drought and floods in the past few years. In order to maintain the operation of the court and provide relief to the victims, it is also possible that the treasury is empty. While collecting information, the shops and restaurants opened in various places are also making money, not to mention the foundation of Yong'an Palace, why is Your Majesty so anxious?"

Hearing this, Zhuang Lin chuckled nonchalantly, rested his big head on Jun Shaoyou's neck, held Jun Shaoyou's slender hand with his big hand, and said, "I'm the one who made money from Jinyiwei." There are other uses, as for the foundation of Yong'an Palace, I have already said that it is reserved for you and Yu'er. Besides, even if our hands are not tight for a while, we can't just sit and eat, can't we?"

"It's not just about raising and selling beef this time, I'm also thinking about doing other business when I'm free!"

I always feel like I don't have enough money.

Jun Shaoyou turned his head and looked at Zhuang Lin, who had become more and more strange since he ascended the throne of God, frowned and said, "I always feel like you are hiding something from me."

"Don't think too much, I can hide something from you. It's just that I don't want to be under the control of the previous court because of money matters. After a year or two, the government is stable, and I plan to go around to inspect it. , When the time comes to build the palace, there will be expenses everywhere. I don't want to embarrass the local yamen and the people, so I can only find a way to make money by myself."

Jun Shaoyou thought about it, and felt that Zhuang Lin's words made sense.Unconsciously, he thought about it: "In the early years, I had the desire to travel around the world. Who knew that I couldn't make it after two lifetimes. Now that you are an emperor, and the body of a thousand gold can't sit still, you just want to have fun for a while, and you have to do it yourself. Fang weighs one or two. It's really..."

Zhuang Lin reached out and patted Jun Shaoyou's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay, and when Yu'er grows up and takes over my team, the two of us will be free. I will accompany you wherever you want to go." you."

Hearing this, Jun Shaoyou looked back at Zhuang Lin for a long time, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
