All-round way to money

The concubine Ling, who had temporarily rested from competing for favor, also fell in love with Chu Ran, and went to develop her personal hobbies.They didn't bother themselves, so they asked Concubine Yu and Concubine Jia to design new clothes.The three of them all came from the hottest era of Qing Chuan Wen, and they were basically born in the late [-]s and early [-]s. Their aesthetics are very common, and the clothes they designed were also Qing Chuan [-] years ago. The style of theatrical costumes.Among them, the Hong Kong drama, the originator of Gongdou drama, is the most impressive.

Therefore, the finished product presented to Chu Ran is the style of costumes with obvious later styles.

Really nice.

Looking at those clothes, Chu Ran felt that it was not far from the cloak covered with small balls that she had been thinking about...

There are many people, and it is indeed lively.The queen mother is very lively, she lives in the Changchun Garden, and she goes out for a stroll when she has nothing to do, and she also likes to listen to operas. The queen's funeral has been over a year, and the queen mother is an elder, so it doesn't matter to listen to operas.I also like to watch tricks, shadow puppetry and other pastimes.In the big garden, there are only a few concubines, and there are more than a dozen living in the harem of Lord Kangxi, who also live in the garden. A group of old widows, apart from watching theatre, eating and drinking, what else can they do.

I'm really tired, and sometimes I will go to the Old Summer Palace for a walk. There is no big event, and people generally won't come.

The Empress Dowager didn't come to bother, so I skipped the daily greetings as usual, and just went to see it on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year.

Then in the garden here, Chu Ran and the concubines are usually there.

The emperor is very busy, and he doesn't have that much time to visit the garden every day. Most of the time is not staying in the Qinzheng Qinxian Palace in Qingyan, Kyushu, or visiting the factories set up by the manufacturing office in various places for inspection and guidance, and sometimes going to Mizuki Ming hold back.But for so long, I have lived alone.I haven't recruited any harem, including Chu Ran.

This incident, under the two people's deliberate publicity, "hinted" that everyone in the palace and the dignitaries in the clan knew that the emperor missed the former empress and had not entered the harem for more than a year.How many people have come to Fu Heng, saying that the emperor can't do this, not to mention that it's not good for his sons and heirs, but thinking about it all the time, can you feel better?A bad mood can also affect the body.Just say, you persuade it.Giving Fu Heng a rare job is impossible, how can he persuade such a thing?Ordinary people do not have a brother-in-law to persuade the widower and brother-in-law to remarry quickly.What's more, his brother-in-law is still the emperor.

Passing back and forth, gossip has always been the fastest.Everyone in the world knows that the emperor values ​​love and righteousness, especially for the former empress.

People are established as stable as Mount Tai.

Under such circumstances, no matter how the emperor gave preferential treatment to Chu Ran, the new queen, no one objected, not even a word of persuasion.Everyone knows that the queen is a housekeeper who manages the harem with keys, it's pitiful enough, why should I persuade her.The more you don't stay with the queen, the more you have to respect the queen in form, so it's normal!

Then I saw the daily life of the queen and the emperor in the garden. They lived like a couple of ordinary people. It seemed that the relationship was good, but whether they should be separated or separated, I admired Chu Ran for being so tolerant that even the emperor's bedroom entered. If you don't go, you can still act as a loving couple. Who doesn't know that her "beloved queen" is a fake!

Anyway, where there is a contradiction, people can automatically find a reasonable explanation for it.They all felt that they were pretending to be ignorant and coaxing the queen, and the whole world cooperated with the emperor to force her to be "the favorite queen".

This is of course the purpose of Chu Ran and Master.Otherwise, the emperor's changes are too obvious before and after, and the feelings will change as soon as they change, and the character design will collapse.

The two of them are so clean and self-sufficient. They really haven’t lived together yet. One is to take care of their bodies. Try to replace the daily food and things with spiritual energy in the space. They are all made by Chu Ran himself, and it is convenient to change them.It can play a role in washing tendons and cutting marrow.Lord Qianlong is in good health and has a long life, so there is nothing wrong with being better.Nala's body needs to be adjusted more.Another reason is that, strangely enough, it is one thing to use someone else's body, but another to use a dirty body.Especially the emperor's body, so these concubines, it's awkward to think about it.After three years of washing, I will be reborn once, and I will also get used to it for a few years, so that I can feel better in my heart.Very hypocritical, and a little self-deceiving, Chu Ran also admitted that she was hypocritical, and she really had to pass this psychological barrier slowly.

The couple didn't live together, and the emperor was busy, so the concubines had no chance to see the emperor.It's okay to wander around in the garden.

Unless deliberately.

No one intentionally created chance encounters. When Chu Ran was free, she would also get together with them to chat about business, clothes, etc., eat and drink, chat about food, and enjoy the scenery.There are still two princes under the age of six, plus a nine-year-old brother who can only climb, and a princess Hejia. It is also fun to tease and dress up the children.

The concubine Ling and the others make so many new clothes that the young nobles often bring the ladies in the court to change into models. Everyone discusses the transformation together, and they are very involved. They also like to wear the ready-made clothes. It is subtle, but in fact, it adds There are many elements of Hanfu, but they are beautiful, and everyone tacitly ignores them.

The ladies in the palace must wear the best materials.It is also very popular to make it with inferior materials and put it in the clothing store to sell the same style as the empress.What class consumes what grade of material, but the styles are all imitated by the ladies in the palace, which is popular.This has always been the case in all dynasties. Whoever can lead the consumption trend is a glorious thing that can be included in the history books.

This business can also be done, and there will be income as well.They are all sold in the original soap shop, but now it is no longer called a soap shop, but a department store.The name was thought up by everyone, and it is easy to understand, and ordinary people know what it is selling at a glance.Good.When Concubine Ling brought it up, Chu Ran agreed with embarrassment.People outside now know that the imperial concubine is so honored and favored that even the shop led by the empress is named after her. It can be seen how much the emperor loves her, and he has not forgotten her even if he does not enter the harem. The Queen is evenly divided.

These daily consumer goods can be sold in department stores.Things like looms and sewing machines will not work.Like glass, it has to be placed in the Daqing Commercial Bank.There are also cement and so on, all in the Daqing Commercial Bank.

There are also some things that cannot be placed in the House of Internal Affairs.It has to be placed in the household department.

For example, salt, iron and the like.

These must be placed in the household department.

The revenue of the national treasury is mainly taxes. Everyone knows this.The salt tax accounted for a large part of the Qing Dynasty's tax revenue, and the salt tax was always incomplete.But the salt merchant is the richest person.Can the emperor get used to their problems?Directly take over several major domestic salt farms.The imperial court produced and sold salt by itself, and sold it in the Daqing Commercial Bank, but the income went to the household department and paid the commercial bank's management fees.One yard is one yard, and the account must be clearly divided.The imperial court’s salt will not be sold at a low price, let alone a high price. The imperial court will set the price uniformly and divide it into several grades. What grade must be sold at the price, and it is not allowed to sell at a high price.The price is not set arbitrarily, even the price acceptable to the common people, there are many times the profit.It is impossible for salt merchants to control the market any more.Moreover, whoever fails to pay all taxes will not be allowed to open for business and will be directly seized.Anyway, the imperial court has its own shop, and no one will affect the market.As long as you do business according to your duties and pay taxes honestly, the taxes have also been changed, and they are not unacceptably high, and you can still make a lot of money.

After a set of combined punches, the old foundation of the salt merchant was directly lifted.If you are dishonest, don't mess with anyone.

There is no need to make friends with the rich and powerful, the rich and powerful can’t help you, pay taxes according to the sales volume, don’t want yours if you have too much, and clean up if you don’t discuss it, the rich and powerful are not easy to use.Even the trading houses of the Qing Dynasty and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to pay taxes normally, so who are the rich and powerful?Don't even think about making friends with officials. Officials serve for three years, and they will change places after one term. No one wants to dominate a good place and not let go.Moreover, the emperor can forgive everything, only a few things are very strict, big and small will be killed without mercy.One of them is corruption.zero tolerance.Those who embezzle more than 1000 taels of silver will be killed without mercy.Don’t you all think that you have to be greedy because you have a small salary? If you increase your salary, the original money for raising money is gone, and there is no money for raising money. Put that money directly in your salary, and it has tripled.

More official wages means more pensions.But there is one thing, being an official is not an iron rice bowl, not only corruption will be decapitated, but also those who fail the various assessments, they should all get out.The staff should also be reduced.No borers, let alone waste.Manchus and Hans are treated equally, and there is no time when people want to enjoy special treatment just because they are Manchus.The emperor has to pay taxes in the same way, don't you all say that you are the emperor's servant?What kind of treatment do you want, no matter how much you think about it, you don’t do anything, you eat at home and wait to die, and you can’t live on the monthly money.The queen is trying to do business to make money, and it's not right to ban banner people from doing business, so let's all make a living by ourselves.As much ability as you have, you can use as much ability as possible, giving you room to develop.

The rectification of other walks of life is also in line with the salt affairs.

Is it difficult?

Of course it's difficult.

All kinds of conflicts emerge in endlessly, but the emperor is particularly tough on these matters, and his confidence comes from the fact that some people want to use the so-called public opinion to create a rebellion or something, and the first sign can be crushed to death.With a big killer in hand, which can guarantee absolute force suppression, there is no problem.What's more, these policies are passed through the post station every ten days and read out by a special person. The common people know what the emperor wants to do, why he wants to do it, and what will be the result.Everywhere is to make the common people have enough to eat, what's the trouble?After all, those who are good or bad are a minority.As long as the common people don't follow suit, there will be no chaos.

With the promotion of various new technologies and new grain varieties, various factories have sprung up, the grain output has increased, and there are still places where people can work to earn more money. Tossing around with a group of two hundred and five.

Banner people can't make trouble either. It's been 100 years since they entered the Customs. The emperor no longer wants to rely on the Eight Banners to rule the world. The clan is stable, and the people below dare not make trouble.What's wrong with the clan?Almost every family has children in the garden, and the emperor personally takes them to teach them, let them read and write, and let them participate in political affairs. As long as they behave well, they will be given errands.In addition, the empress leads the most prominent wives to do big business, and the wives take the downstream business of the next level to do some peripheral supply, and the rows go down one level at a time. Everyone has money Earn, the business of the Qing Dynasty Commercial Bank has gone to Europe, and the downstream business is all kinds of, and you can earn a lot by doing anything casually. What do you want to make trouble?

In addition to the increased income after the old industry tax reform, the national treasury also has a very important new income, which is customs tax.With the launching of big ships one after another, the lifting of the sea ban, and the adjustment of import and export tariffs, this part of the income is getting higher and higher.But this part of the income is earmarked for special use, and all of it is collected and invested in the construction of coastal defense.Those who train troops, build ships, build coastal defenses, and develop weapons.Don't you have to ask for money everywhere.In addition to the lifting of the sea ban, coupled with the strong force, the pirates were unable to fight, and they all began to go ashore to become serious businessmen. The sea troubles were won without a fight, and they were solved virtually.For the rest of the Japanese pirates, they directly told the soldiers in the Navy Yamen that the ones that were snatched back counted as their own, and those who had boats and cannons could fight to the Japanese pirates’ homeland.Just fight, it's right to go abroad with vigor.

To say a thousand things and ten thousand things, everything is just driven by interests.

As long as he can throw out bait that makes people can't help but bite, that person will be cured.

Don't other emperors and officials know this truth?How could it be possible not to know, every superior knows.It's just that more people are powerless.

But Master is very determined and powerful.

Therefore, as long as you stick to the initial period of time and lay the foundation, you won't be so tired.

Chu Ran knew about Master's hard work, but he couldn't help him much.

What can she do?

Cooking.

There seemed to be nothing else.

Ah, yes.

There is another one, both of them are reluctant to part with Yuanmingyuan. The Western Building over Changchunyuan has just completed Haiyantang, and there are still a lot of engineering plans behind it. The drawings have been released, and construction has started in several places.The minister in charge of the garden made several proposals, and asked to include the Qichun Garden, which was the gift garden of Prince Yi's mansion, and now it would be a burden to keep such a large garden.It's not merged, it's a later story.It's already started, what a pity it stopped.So we have to keep building.With the money she earned, after repairing the garden, there was really not much left.Being able to repair the garden by herself without spending money from the national treasury is the greatest contribution she can make to the court.

One thing to add is that most of the money for building Western-style buildings was earned by trading at sea.It's not long since my boat was launched, and it hasn't arrived in Europe yet. It will take three or two years before I can earn money.The money earned is all earned from the goods approved to those merchants who go to sea for trade.

Using foreigners' money to build Western-style buildings is also one of the reasons why Chu Ran and Master are reluctant to stop the construction.It's cool to think about it, isn't it!With that breath in my heart, I can go out more or less.Otherwise, how to vent your anger?Beat people to pieces for no reason?It's not impossible, but in that case, the cause and effect are too great, and they can't afford it!

Haiyan Hall is currently the favorite place for concubines to visit. Even the queen mother brought the old concubines here twice.Strange thing.No matter how good the scenery in the old garden is, it will still be the same after a long time.New ones are more interesting.

There are Western utensils inside, and there are very few.Originally, most of the thirteen lines were shipped over, but Chu Ran didn't like most of them, and they were thrown into the warehouse without being displayed.Waiting for the fleet of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come back from the sea to bring better ones.This time out to sea, the emperor sent Hongzhan, Yonghuang, and Yongying to press the boat. Yongying is Hongzhou's eldest son, not a legitimate son, and his biological mother is gone. Son, the emperor has slipped him out to cultivate him, and Hong Zhou has a lot in mind.It takes three years to come and go.These three have been with me for a year, and they have almost mastered it. After going out to suffer a little bit, and being beaten by the society a few times, they can almost experience it.They have enough status and status, they can suppress the scene, and they can send capable officials to assist them, so they can't go wrong.The emperor promised that the errand was done, and he would give it to a county king alone when he came back.Hong Zhan is already the Prince of Guo, and Yong Huang is the eldest son of the emperor, and the prince will be able to survive in the future.But isn't this also earning titles for their sons?Yong Huang has two sons.His own title is not enough to pass on to his two sons.Poor Hongzhan is still single, if it wasn't for the queen's funeral, he would have gotten married by now.Then wouldn't he have to have a son in the future?Yongying is two years older than Hongzhan, and has already indicated marriage. Before, it was his daughter-in-law who kept the filial piety, but now he is the one who keeps the filial piety.Originally, he was a nephew, so he didn't have to stay for three years, but this time he was going to sea, so the wedding date could only be postponed.

The three children are not very old, Yong Huang is the oldest, only 22 years old, and they are not in the care of their mothers, so they can only be given to Zhang Luo by Chu Ran.

When I left, I brought them a lot of proprietary medicines in large and small bags, all of which were made by Chu Ran himself, with the addition of spiritual rain water, all kinds of acclimatization, infectious diseases, etc. I brought two of them, both with medicinal materials.I was also afraid that they would not be used to the food outside, so I brought several large boxes of dried fruits of various colors, which tasted good anyway.The most important thing is that I brought more than a dozen jars of kimchi, all of which are made from vegetables in the vegetable field of Xinghuachun Pavilion, and the water is also Lingyu.Eating that is good for your body.It is also a taste of hometown, even if it is boiled noodles with some kimchi soup, it is still different.I also brought several cooks from the imperial dining room, so that I can eat whatever I like at any time.

Tossing so much that the master scolded her for being a loving mother, saying that she is raising a dude!But Hongzhou was so grateful that he couldn't tell her directly that when Mrs. Wu Zaku came to pay her respects, she helped to say a lot of words of gratitude.This child has been raised by her since she was a child, and it is also recorded in her name.Not her own child, but her eldest son, and she gave birth to a series of sons later on, so if you say it's troublesome or not.Now if the child can earn back the title by himself, everything will be solved, wouldn't she be grateful!

It's useless to worry about the people who have been thrown out. We can only wait and hope that we can come back safely.

Life at home is still going on.

There will never be fewer things in the court, either this one comes to surrender, or that one comes to vote. From time to time, the emperor will hold various banquets in the garden, for celebrations, for entertaining guests, for demonstrations, for ostentation, lively and noisy .

Compared with government affairs, the life in the harem is much calmer.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the waves are calm.

In the second half of 14, the most important thing is the harmonious marriage.It was supposed to go to Mongolia to get married in the second half of the year. Isn't it true that the princes and sons of Mongolia are all in the capital now, and the gentle forehead is working as a guard in the palace.He was also in the same class as Nasuken, Nala's nephew, so Chu Ran specially recruited Nasuken to ask him what kind of temperament that Delek was.Nasuken said that he was open-minded, loyal, and had a good capacity for alcohol.

Well, asking is the same as not asking.What can be seen from this?

Don't worry about what you see and what you don't see, the marriage is settled, and there is no return.You don’t need to give away a marriage. If you get married in the capital, you have to build the princess mansion. Now He Wan is a little rich woman. After the emperor gave the mansion, she doubled the money by herself. She looked at the blueprints given by the house of internal affairs to build it. People have said that she can't make the decision on her own, but she has to make the decision. The current emperor and queen must let her go. If it wasn't for being favored, He Wan wouldn't dare to make that request, right?According to her request, the mansion could not be repaired within a year.

For dowry or something, you have to prepare in advance.

This is the first princess to be married after Nala's title as empress, He Wan and her relationship have always been very good, so it's better to handle it properly.

Wu Zaku's family is his own mother, and he cares more about a harmonious marriage.Chu Ran called people into the garden every few days to discuss things together, and she didn't avoid being gentle. She asked her opinion on everything, and she had to live comfortably in the future.

"We have money now, and we don't give it to others. Buy it, so what should we do? Marry a girl." In terms of etiquette, she is called the emperor's mother softly, and she can be regarded as Chu Ran's girl.

By the way, she was familiar with the process of a princess getting married.

When the preparations are finally almost ready, it will be the summer of the 15th year of Qianlong.

On June [-], Empress Fucha's funeral period expired, and there were still a series of procedures to go.

After all the procedures are completed, the mourning period is officially over.

27 months passed in a blink of an eye.

"How time flies."

Who said no.

After the queen's funeral is over, it's time for Chu Ran's conferment ceremony.Master didn't let her ask, saying that he would give her a surprise.Then Chu Ran didn't ask, and left it to the master.Those scientific research projects have been set up, and the master does not need to do the specific work, he just needs to grasp the general direction, and the school has also been built, because all walks of life are developing rapidly, and professional talents are not enough, so there is no need for the emperor to specifically mention it. , All kinds of specialized schools were built.Each department has its own specialized schools.The Ministry of War has even built a military academy, and the emperor gave a special order that the students are not limited to Manchurians, and the competition will become fierce after a while.There is also a special shipping college built in the Navy Yamen.

These are really not mentioned by the emperor, but developed naturally.

The direction is guided on the right path, and the emperor's eyes don't have to be fixed on the specific work all the time.Now he is not as busy as he was two years ago.

Therefore, he really has time to make arrangements for the Empress Dowager Ceremony.

The grand ceremony after the establishment is scheduled for the second day of August, which is considered an auspicious day by the Ministry of Rites.

The emperor, queen mother, and concubines all returned to the palace on July [-].Chu Ran herself was left in the Old Summer Palace to be married.The master said that he would give her a formal wedding and let her enter the palace through the Qianqing Gate in a graceful manner.

Okay.

She was quite curious about ancient weddings. She had read the archives of Lord Kangxi's marriage to Queen Hesheli. She was very yearning for the big sedan chair carried by 16 people and the ostentation.

When the day came, she realized that the surprise was bigger than she had imagined.

It was the content, not what she thought.

There is no such thing as a big sedan chair on the [-]th.

Some are huge four-wheeled vehicles driven by tractor heads.The appearance is not the type of saloon car she is familiar with, but a sedan chair, with glass windows, allowing you to see the scene on the street.

Now the road from the Old Summer Palace to the Imperial Palace has been built into a wide concrete road, and various shops, gardens, and small stalls have been built on both sides of the road. It is now the most prosperous street in the capital.The flow of people is also the most, and there are many pedestrians.

Sitting in Huajiao, Chu Ran could see the crowds on both sides of the road, crowded like dumplings.

After entering the Qianqing Gate, I changed into a real sixteen-carried sedan chair, because the inside was covered with a red carpet, the car could not move, and it was convenient for people to carry it.

After that, there are complicated etiquette, except for tossing and tossing.Chu Ran's mood also changed from being excited and curious at the beginning, to being too tired and excited later on, so she wanted to end it soon.

When it was time to take off the hijab, drink a cup of wine, and eat the cakes of the descendants, when the raw dumplings were served, Chu Ran burst out laughing.Who in the later generations doesn't know this plot, what happened.When Mammy asked if she was born, she laughed and said a lot of things.Made everyone in the room laugh.

No matter how you say it, she's not young anymore, she's really not that shy or anything, when she said that, everyone relaxed.The atmosphere relaxed immediately.

After tossing this set, it will be dark, and the biggest surprise will appear at this moment.When the lights in the palace turned on, Chu Ran was dumbfounded, it was so spectacular and beautiful.

Fireworks were set off in the air at the right time, and they complemented the palace on the ground, which was so beautiful.

The wedding night is naturally enjoyable.

Waking up early, Chu Ran looked at all the people in the palace, why did everyone seem to be happier than her?

Asking You Rong You Blessing, both of them smiled and said no.

When paying respects to the queen mother, the queen mother gave a lot of rewards. The queen mother only has the son of the emperor, and she doesn't even have a daughter. She is so selfish, so why keep it.Whoever makes her happy will give more.Besides, this money is far worse than what the queen gave her.

Everyone in the Empress Dowager's palace was even more festive, as if they had picked up an ingot.

No one else told her the reason, so Chu Ran could only ask her master.

"Why else? Our bridal chamber, doesn't it mean that the emperor has begun to visit the harem. We all have something to look forward to, of course we are happy."

Have something to look forward to?

Hmm, nice to think.

Just wait and go.

After living in Kunning Palace for three symbolic days.

Chu Ran moved to the east wing of the Hall of Mental Cultivation to live permanently.

The side room on the west side where the imperial concubine used to live was converted into a small kitchen by her.The back door is also opened, which is convenient for delivering food and firewood.

Even the ten enclosures on each side of the original concubine's living quarters have been changed.When used as a warehouse, there are a lot of things anyway.It's just that you can't live with others.

Usually, the concubine invites An to see her wife and so on, and it is still in Yikun Palace.But in order to save some trouble, there is no need to rely on other means to maintain the queen's airs after the conferment ceremony, please forgive me, she is not interested in facing a group of resentful faces every day.

If it wasn't for waiting to get electricity to the garden, she wouldn't be willing to stay longer in the palace.

Compared with Yuanzi, the palace is more aggrieved.

"Aren't you aggrieved? Then take you out for a trip?" Master heard Chu Ran's nagging boring, so he arranged a travel plan.

In the past few years, the external reason is that it is the queen's funeral, and I am not in the mood to go out.Busy with scientific research and tidying up government affairs, there is no need to appease Mongolia, and Mulan Qiuxi doesn't need to go every year.In the past, he spent most of the year running outside. In the past two years, he never went out of Beijing except to go to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage.

"Where are you going? Chengde? But it's already September, shouldn't it be cold over there?"

"Go to Shengjing. The road from the capital to Shengjing has been repaired for two years. It has just been repaired. Let's see how it is. I also want to see how the railway is being repaired. Also, a chemical plant has just been built over there. I am not at ease. Gotta go and see."

"Oh...it's all for business..."

"Not at all, there is time for entertainment after busy work. Next year, the fireworks will go to Yangzhou in March. Let's take a look. Let's take a private server trip? Don't bother with the southern tour, it's expensive. Go out on a micro-server and have a look. , can see the real situation.”

Wow, Weibo private visit.

This is good, she likes it.

In fact, it is good to go to Shengjing, it is close to her hometown before the accident, so let's go back to her hometown.

As soon as the emperor said that he was going to pay a visit to Shengjing, all the officials below got busy, and when he set off, it started to snow over there.Still thinking, it's freezing cold, and I don't know how to toss along the way.

Let's go, take another look.

It's completely different from what I imagined.

Because it was going out in winter, the empress dowager did not accompany her, only the emperor and the empress, and the emperor specially explained that everything should be kept simple.The entire team has more than 300 people and [-] vehicles including luggage.The caravan in which the emperor and queen sat, and the accompanying officials were ten vans with a roof.The rest are vans.

Now there is no need for a carriage to travel, it is all cars.In fact, this time is not just a road test, but also a test car.The previous ones were all experiments, and it was the first time that such a large-scale use of cars was used.The car factory has been established for two years, and it can only produce so many finished products in total.Is there any more, not only cars, but also drivers.Now half of these drivers are on the road for the first time.Each car is equipped with two drivers, and they drive alternately, learning while driving.Nowadays, this driver is a rare job. If you are not a son of the clan, you must be the son of a good general. You cannot have this honor if you are not an important minister.

The road has been swept in advance, and it can be cleaned up at any time when it snows.Although it is only a concrete road of the fourth-class road level of the village road of later generations, it is already the most advanced these days.Walk steadily, and the speed of [-] kilometers per hour can still be achieved.After walking for three hours a day, I arrived in two days.

Before he had time to suffer, he arrived at the Shengjing Palace.

Among the officials who followed, half of them were important ministers from the Military Aircraft Department, and their minds were filled with the affairs of the entire Qing Dynasty. They knew very well what this speed meant.One by one, they knelt and cried to the emperor in the Chongzheng Hall, crying that the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty was going to a higher level.

All right, these retreats are indispensable.The emperor will accompany them to perform.

Chu Ran's residence is Qingning Palace. This place is the middle palace, only queens can live there. It has a symbolic meaning. She has to live there whether she wants to live or not.There is nothing wrong here, but there is no electricity, and it is back to the days of lighting with night pearls.

What can Shengjing do in winter?Do you want to ski?Even if she has the heart, no one will agree to go.It's just that after the master is done with the political affairs, the two of them will drive lightly together, go shopping in the street in micro-clothes, see the folk customs and taste the special delicacies.

After all, it all comes down to eating in the end.

Eating sauerkraut pot in the ice and snow, the taste is different.

Things like slaughtering pigs and vegetables are generally not allowed to enter the palace, but Chu Ran had someone cook them on purpose.It was also sent to the front for the emperor to share with the ministers.Should I say it or not, the patriarchal banner people eat garlic, white meat, etc., which is just right for the taste, and their mouths are full of oil.It took a little effort for the Hanchens to adapt.I prefer the braised sauerkraut, which is not greasy and has the smell of stewed meat.The main reason is that the water used by Chu Ran is better, and it is more delicious than the usual imperial dining room.

Then there is the barbecue, which is cooked according to Chu Ran's method.The taste is not the same as usual, and it is considered fresh.

The main reason is that in this place, the smell is different from that in the capital.

Serve with pickled cabbage or dumplings with dried radish and oil residue, and you can eat until you are full.

It's not just food, there are also eight iron-capped palaces in Shengjing, and officials like General Shengjing. When the queen comes, the family members of the officials have to pay their respects too.When each Fujin entered the palace, some brought their daughters with them. It was time for the draft next year, and they were all planned for the daughters.

There is also the accounts of Huangzhuang, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which must also be taken care of.In the past few years, Huangzhuang has reclaimed a lot of land and planted a lot of grain. Many Han people from Shandong and Henan have moved here, and they are all in charge.You have to ask for details.

There are also many factories here. Shengjing is not a small place. The most important and prosperous city in the north has a large population. After the opening of commerce, it is quite active. The most important thing is that it is close to North Korea and Japan. Foreign trade is also doing well.

It is also an important transit point for Lao Maozi to the capital. The reason why the chemical plant was built in Shengjing is because the crude oil is transported from Lao Maozi. One shipping fee.

When the emperor went to inspect the chemical plant, Chu Ran didn't follow him. It's not a good place, so don't go if you don't go.

When it was time to test trains at the train station, she went.

That train is very rudimentary, even more rudimentary than the green leather train.The carriages are all made of wood, covered with a layer of iron.There are only three carriages.This is considered the emperor's special addition, the interior decoration is considered luxurious, and it is not crowded, and the seats are all thick soft cushions, not to mention cramped.

The distance of the test drive is from the side of the palace to the station in the suburbs of Beijing, a total of more than ten miles.

The emperor and queen wanted to test the train, and the ministers of military aircraft, the princes and generals of Shengjing were all accompanied, and there were thousands of guards on horseback on both sides of the railway.

Chu Ran is excited, go up to see here, touch there, everything is novel.

As soon as the train started, she realized that it was different from the train she knew.She has never taken a green leather train. When she was a child, her parents took her out to play on a train. It was so stable that the water glass would not be spilled.Right now, it's really not like that, bang, bang, bang, bang.

Chu Ran vomited directly to Huang before walking out of the two miles.

The imperial physician who was accompanying her knelt down on the first pulse, saying that she was one and a half months pregnant and her pulse was not showing.

Funny, morning sickness after a month and a half?

The big aunts are all here, but there are only a few of them. Isn't this a busy job tossing about going on tour recently, and I don't take it seriously.Really no response.It's impossible for Chu Ran to just give her own pulse to see if she's pregnant.

The doctor said, this is tossing, and the morning sickness is early.

Chu Ran secretly took her own pulse, and she was indeed pregnant.I don't want to argue with the old lady anymore, she's really not that weak.The more likely reason, she thinks, is that there was fried cake for breakfast before going out in the morning, which was fried in meat. She hadn't eaten it for many years, and she tried half of it.Oily.

Regardless of the reason, the queen is pregnant, and it will be a great joy.
