The Royal Merchant of the Red Chamber

Tu Zhen and Xue Zhizhang chatted for a long time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Xue Pan, who had been waiting in the side hall for a long time, curled up on the warm kang, covered with a thin layer of gauze quilt, and fell asleep again.

The delicate and expensive man has been raised for many years, but last night he was eaten by Tu Zhen, a big-tailed wolf, even the meat and bones, and he turned it over and ate it endlessly. Xue Pan said that he was not physically strong enough. To support such a load of labor, he always feels tired and weak in the waist and knees.

So when Tu Zhen returned to the side hall smugly, he found that the white and tender Xia Pantao curled himself up into a ball, sleeping soundly while clutching the corner of the quilt.The afternoon sun poured down on his face and body, covering him with a warm, thin halo.This scene was too warm and quiet, Tu Zhen subconsciously lightened his steps, held his breath, tiptoed to Xue Pan and sat down, just looking at him quietly.His eyes were soft and warm, lingering and lingering, and he just stared blankly for the whole afternoon, until the setting sun set, Xue Pan finally woke up after enough sleep.

"Yeah!" The boy who was sleeping contentedly closed his eyes and rolled in the quilt, stretched again, then rubbed his eyes unconsciously, yawned, and saw that he was sitting beside him. How long has it been.

"When did you come back?" The boy blinked and asked with his head tilted.

"It was in the afternoon, I don't remember." Tu Zhen said, stretched out his hand to embrace the boy's body in his arms, put his palm gently on the boy's waist, rubbed it gently, and whispered Asked: "After a day of sleep, do you feel better?"

"I still feel sore all over." Xue Pan said, looked up at the sky outside, and asked, "Why didn't you wake me up so early?"

"Seeing that you slept so soundly, I'm not willing."

"Then you just stared at me blankly all afternoon." Xue Pan raised his eyebrows helplessly, "Are you an idiot?"

Hearing this, Tu Zhen curled the corners of his mouth dotingly, lowered his head, pointed the tip of his nose to Xue Pan's, and said softly, "I don't know who is the overlord, you idiot Xue?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and scratched Xue Pan's nose.

"Snapped!"

Xue Pan patted off Tu Zhen's arm teasing his nose with some dissatisfaction, and hummed, "Don't talk to that miser, Xue Tu Huang."

Tu Zhen laughed dumbfounded, and asked, "How did he provoke you?"

"Still talking!" Xue Pan sat up angrily and made a small report to Tu Zhen. "Last time, I promised me that as long as I gave him an idea, he would bring more people to take care of the luxury business. In the end, I got him something for business and miscellaneous taxes, and he still led people to the nearby Huajie Liuxiang. This dishonest thing."

Tu Zhen smiled lightly, reached out and patted Xue Pan's back to comfort him, "Don't be angry, let me help you vent your anger."

Xue Pan shook his head and said softly, "That's not the case."

After a pause, he asked curiously: "Last time I helped the two of them come up with an idea, and I didn't ask about the only thing. Recently, I was busy with the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion, and I didn't see them much. Son. How is the matter of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes handled?"

When it came to political affairs, Tu Zhen involuntarily calmed down his face, thought for a moment, and said softly: "Now the imperial court is not only in the capital, but also the richer states and provinces in Guangdong, Fujian, Yunnan, Zhejiang, and Jiangnan have implemented industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes. It seems that the effect is very good. At least this year's finances are not as stretched as in previous years. Even if some states and counties experience occasional droughts and floods, timely rescue can be guaranteed."

At this point, Tu Zhen frowned slightly, and said very relaxedly: "I think that after a few years of implementation and a relatively complete system, everything will be better."

"That's natural." Xue Pan nodded in agreement.On the one hand, most of the state taxation of later generations relied on industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes. In the few years when he was reborn, the agricultural tax was almost completely exempted.

Thinking of this, Xue Pan couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty can slowly implement miscellaneous taxes for industry and commerce, and worry about the people in the Yong Dynasty doing business. After reaching a certain level, Your Majesty can also gradually meet the agricultural tax, so that farmers are encouraged to farm. There is a situation where the common people focus on business and no one farms the land.”

Tu Zhen pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Since the founding of the Yong Dynasty, all of them have been based on agriculture and have been persuading farmers to teach them. If I promote the people to do business for a while, it will inevitably touch the foundation of the country. It is better not to act too hastily, and take it slowly .”

Xue Pan nodded. He is not very proficient in governing the country, but he also knows the principle of step by step.Now that the Great Yong Dynasty is collecting money everywhere, and the treasury is gradually getting richer, there is no rush to reform for a while.As Tu Zhen said, take your time!

It is more logical to lure them with profit than to suppress them with power.

Xue Pan stopped entangled in this topic, and asked instead: "How about the expedition to Dongpu? Why haven't we heard anything for such a long time?"

"Of course there is no news in the mansion newspaper, but there is news from the sticky pole that everything is going very smoothly. If there is no accident, news of the army's triumphant return will definitely come within half a year."

Xue Pan nodded excitedly, grabbed Tu Zhen's sleeve and said, "Don't forget, silver mines, gold mines, and all kinds of treasures have all been brought back."

Tu Zhen was amused by Xue Pan's appearance as a miser, stretched out his arms to hold him in his arms, lowered his head and kissed him for a while, until Xue Pan pushed him away unwillingly and stared at him panting. Untiing Xue Pan's shirt heartily, teasingly said: "You stay with me for one more night, and I will give you all the things I snatched from Dongying at the sticky pole, how about it?"

Feeling Tu Zhen's big hands constantly wandering around her body, the whole body was ignited with desire and fire under Tu Zhen's deliberate teasing, Xue Pan glared at Tu Zhen with a coquettish eye, her voice revealing a hint of charm, He said dissatisfied: "I'm not a fan who sleeps with me."

"Don't talk nonsense." Tu Zhen frowned, stretched out his hand and slapped Xue Pan's butt twice.I just feel that the place hit by the palm is soft and delicate, and the skin is crystal clear and full of elasticity.

Unable to restrain himself, Tu Zhen peeled off Xue Pan's clothes, revealing his crystal-clear body like snow, then pressed on it, and swore: "You are my queen, the only queen."

As he spoke, he cupped Xue Pan's face obsessively, and leaned forward to kiss Xue Pan's red lips.He pried open Xue Pan's tightly closed teeth with ease, and directly entangled Xue Pan's uvula, which kept dodging, and then entangled and teased. The intense kiss made a trace of saliva slowly flow down from the joint between the two, along the jaw , the neck, meandering out the trajectory of obscenity and prostitution.

A pair of big hands also lightly and heavily kneaded the slippery skin, shoulders, chest, waist, lower abdomen, inner and outer thighs.Tu Zhen's palms seemed to have magical powers, and they ignited Xue Pan's body everywhere. After a while, the boy's body, which had just realized his love and desire, turned into a puddle of spring water and lay under Tu Zhen's body, allowing him to touch and tease him.

Seeing the blurred eyes of the young man below him, exaggerating the charming appearance of love and lust, Tu Zhen chuckled lightly, straightened his waist, and slowly entered the young man's body...

-

After a burst of cloud and rain, Tu Zhen lay on the kang with his arms around Xue Pan, who was getting more and more tired.The palm of his hand caressed Xue Pan's round arm intentionally or unintentionally. Xue Pan's jet-black hair spread out and spread messily on the kang, and his skin became more and more crystal clear and fair.He frowned with some dissatisfaction, and complained with an aggrieved expression: "You promised Dad that I would take good care of myself. As a result, I hurt even more."

"Where does it hurt, I will rub it for you." Tu Zhen said, a pair of big hands wandered wantonly on Xue Pan's body, but Xue Pan patted it away angrily.

"I want to go home." Xue Pan sat up angrily, his naked body exuded a warm halo under the illumination of the palace lantern, seeing that Tu Zhen's eyes were getting darker, and his body reacted involuntarily.

Xue Pan swallowed his saliva, and wrapped the gauze around himself in fear, revealing Tu Zhen's strong and sexy body.Tu Zhen, who took off his clothes, is not slender, but very strong. Although he is not muscular, his body after long-term martial arts training shows a kind of flexibility and strength, just like a beautiful and powerful cheetah. , Looking more and more lazily lying on the kang.Noticing Xue Pan's envious expression, Tu Zhen complacently straightened her body, trying to show her best side to her lover.

"Show off!" Xue Pan turned his face away a little angrily, looked down at his body that was still limp no matter how hard he exercised, like a white steamed bun, stretched out his hand to touch the flat abdomen, but there was no muscle, Xue Pan felt a little nervous. He snorted twice in frustration.

"I like Pan'er's body the most." Seeing the young man's appearance, Tu Zhen immediately pulled him into his arms with the quilt, stroked him and said, "It's so slippery, so soft, and so flexible, what do you want to do?" I can do all kinds of actions, and I like it the most.”

Xue Pan's ears turned red, thinking that just now Tu Zhen was taking advantage of his confusion and emotion to force him to make such a move, so he couldn't help biting Tu Zhen's shoulder bitterly.

After holding back for too long, his body suddenly tightened, and Tu Zhen snorted, trying his best to suppress the desire and desire to feel pain again, stretched out his palm and gently opened Xue Pan's teeth, and pressed the person onto himself, Let him really feel his bursting desire and desire, and then he warned: "I have endured for five years, and now I can eat this peach of yours in my mouth. But I have not been full, Pan'er, don't light it up."

Xue Pan's body froze, and he obediently lay down next to Tu Zhen, and his gentle appearance, which did not dare to move, successfully pleased Tu Zhen.He turned his head and gently kissed Xue Pan's smooth forehead. His mind, which had been burned by desire and fire for too long, finally remembered a serious matter, and quickly said to Xue Pan: "I have decreed that you will be crowned prince and young master." .From tomorrow onwards, you will teach Xuan'er how to learn."

Xue Pan was dumbfounded, and said, "Have you made Tuxuan the crown prince?"

"I have been on the throne for many years, and there is only one son. He is talented and gentle, and he is also a person who can be adjusted and taught. It doesn't matter if you prepare earlier." Tu Zhen said lightly, with a faint longing flashing in his eyes.

Mr. Shi once told him about Qian Xiangguo's secret recipe for giving birth to a child, so why didn't he want to have a cute baby with Pan'er.He believed that with the abilities of the two of them, the prince taught would never be inferior to anyone else.

But now it is too late.

If he wants to marry Pan'er, he must dismiss the East Palace first.If Xuan'er is not made the crown prince at this moment, I am afraid that the important officials in the court will block his move on the grounds of inheriting the country from the heirs of the royal family.Only by pushing Xuan'er to be the crown prince before everyone's eyes can he make more plans.

Thinking of this, Tu Zhen could not help but sigh softly.

Although the emperor speaks a lot of words, his words are golden.But you can't act arbitrarily, just do whatever you want.There are trade-offs in the life of a person, even the emperor is no exception.

Now, the only thing he is thankful for is that Tu Xuan still has a good impression of Pan'er.Moreover, Tu Xuan is intelligent and scheming, and after a while, he will surely understand the reason why he made him the crown prince.I first made Pan'er the crown prince's young master, and then chose someone close to Pan'er to be the prince's teacher...

Thinking of this, Tu Zhen's heart moved, and he asked, "Pan'er, I want to ask Mr. Zhuang to be the prince's teacher. Can you help me persuade Mr. Zhuang?"

Xue Pan, who was sore all over, didn't notice the calculations in Tu Zhen's mind. Hearing him ask this question, he couldn't help but think of the situation when Mr. Zhuang was teaching him, he was sitting on the sidelines listening to the class, and mistakenly thought it was a pity in his heart. I want to make up for it from my son.He nodded immediately, patted his chest seriously, and promised: "Don't worry, I understand your regret. I will definitely try my best to persuade Master to be the teacher of the prince."

Seeing Xue Pan's swearing appearance, Tu Zhen felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hug him into his arms.

In his life, what he wants to do most and what he loves to do the most is to hold Pan'er in his arms just like here.Then the two of them can chat and make fun of each other, or talk about state affairs.

Tu Zhen only felt that nothing was more important than Pan'er being by her side.
