[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Noble Zhu dared to come to the imperial garden to intercept the emperor, so he naturally had confidence.To be more precise, since the day the emperor took Princess Boling to the Honghui Hall, he would occasionally go to sit with her and talk to her, even if the rule of not serving the concubine after the age of 35 was put there, she The emperor was also allowed to stay twice in the Honghui Hall.

Such noble Zhu, of course, has the capital to come to the imperial garden to intercept people.

According to the palace rules, Mrs. Zhu first saluted the emperor, and then met the queen.Jia Yan also followed the palace rules and nodded in reply.

"It's really rare to meet a noble person here."

Far more than rare.According to the palace rules, when the emperor and empress visit the imperial garden, the imperial garden must be completely cleared first.Not to mention, today, the emperor specially came to the Imperial Garden to talk to Jia Yan.

There was nothing wrong with Zhu Guiren's face: "I made your empress laugh. This concubine is here for the sake of the sixth prince, so I came here to ask His Majesty."

Jia Yan raised her eyebrows, glanced at the emperor with a half-smile, and said bluntly: "Since it's about the sixth prince, Long Live should really listen to it. I'll go there first. Please."

Jia Yanzhi's straightforwardness made Mr. Zhu's eyes widen in surprise.

As for the emperor, he couldn't help touching his nose.

Well, Jia Yan's frankness sometimes makes him have to care.

Probably, this is a couple.If Jia Yan cared, he seemed indifferent, but Jia Yan didn't care at all, the emperor didn't know why, and always felt a little guilty.

When Jia Yan left, the emperor said: "Xiang'er, is there something wrong with Xiaoliu that made you come to the Imperial Garden?"

Mr. Zhu naturally knew that what the emperor hated the most was making false claims.Even if she had nothing to do, she would make the emperor unhappy if she pointed to her son's name to find the emperor.

Fortunately, she is not without excuses.

Zhu Gui said: "Your Majesty, maybe the concubine is overwhelmed. The concubine heard that the sixth daughter-in-law is not feeling well recently. I have invited several imperial physicians, but they all said it was just a stomach problem, and no matter how much decoction I took, it didn't help. Your Majesty, my concubine has the guts to ask Doctor Duan to show the sixth daughter-in-law."

Whether it's a big deal or a small thing, to put it simply, it's just Mrs. Zhu worrying about her daughter-in-law. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

The emperor laughed and said, "I think you are looking forward to your grandson?"

Although the sixth prince was said to be the son that the emperor once cared about, the second prince was actually the emperor's eldest son.When the emperor first came to the throne, the second prince had already given birth to the eldest grandson for the emperor.Up to now, not only the second prince has two descendants, three concubines and five grandsons, but the fourth prince also has eight grandchildren of three descendants, five concubines.

The emperor really has no shortage of grandsons.

Zhu Gui said apologetically: "Yes, Your Majesty. Concubine, if you care about it, you will be chaotic. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The emperor said: "You shouldn't say this to me, you should say it to the queen. The sixth daughter-in-law will eventually call the queen mother."

Zhu Guiren's face turned pale.

She heard the emperor's voice with warning.

That's right, this kind of thing is originally the queen's responsibility.Just now, noble Zhu should report to the queen first.As a result, the queen left with great interest, but Mrs. Zhu did not express anything, and then told the emperor about it, no wonder the emperor would warn her.

Noble Zhu said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I know my mistake. However, there is something that I must report to Your Majesty."

"You said."

"I heard, my concubine heard that His Majesty appointed the cousin-in-law Wei Ruolan to guard Shangqiu. Your Majesty, this Wei Ruolan was born in the Dragon Guard after all. Please think again, Your Majesty."

With that said, Mrs. Zhu had already knelt down.

The emperor didn't speak, he just quietly looked at Mr. Zhu who was kneeling at his feet.

When he had a strong relationship with Zhu Gui, he would definitely think that Zhu Gui was doing it for his own good.

However, this does not mean that he has no taboo against the harem meddling in politics.

He said coldly: "Zhu Xiang'er, when did the appointment of an official require the harem to talk too much?"

Zhu Gui, who lowered his head, suddenly widened his eyes.

This is not the case.

Although Zhu Guiren didn't move, she forgot that the hairpin on her head today is a butterfly hairpin.The butterfly's wings were thin and light, even if she didn't move, but as soon as the scalp tightened, the butterfly on the hairpin head began to flap its wings gently.

Seeing everything in his eyes, the emperor said calmly: "Zhu Xiang'er, it's true that the empress likes to discuss political affairs with me. But she has never asked about the appointment of officials. Even if she speaks, she asks me to suppress her father and brother , The words that her father and brother are not allowed to enter the center."

The implication is that Zhu Guiren's elder brother has already entered the Privy Council. Compared with the Queen's father and brother, one holds an empty title and the other is far away. Isn't Zhu Guiren not satisfied?

Noble Zhu never expected it.She originally thought that she and the emperor had regained the tenderness and sweetness of the past, and it was okay to talk to the emperor about this occasionally.

Where did she expect the emperor to be so sensitive? !

She hurriedly raised her head, and said: "Long live, long live, the concubine is also worried that the father will be annoyed, long live..."

"That's something I need to think about."

The battle between him and the Supreme Emperor has reached this point, how can a little Wei Ruolan change the situation?This Zhu Xiang'er pretends to know what he doesn't understand, what's the matter? !

The emperor became more and more upset, and left with a flick of his sleeves, leaving noble Zhu on the Mingyue Bridge.

When passing through the Xiyu Pavilion, the emperor saw Jia Yan standing in the Xiyu Pavilion from a distance, and all the attendants around him were waiting outside the pavilion.

The emperor squinted his eyes and boarded the Xiyu Pavilion:

"Queen, what are you looking at?"

"Naturally, I look at the blue sky. The sky is so vast, and I don't know how vast the earth is under the sky. The scenery of various places may be majestic or beautiful. Maybe I will never see it in my whole life."

"That's easy, let's build another garden below."

"Long live is here again. A garden is just a garden. Can it still reproduce the magnificence of the natural scenery?" Jia Yan said with a smile: "That's all, let's not talk about it. Long live can think about where to open this new salt field Yet?"

"Changlu, no, Changlu is too close."

Changlu is located in Cangzhou. Among them, the Hangu Salt Field has the longest history and is the largest salt field in the country.

The emperor pondered for a moment, and said, "Queen, what do you think is the most suitable place?"

"How do I know this? In any case, the Qin Tianjian sent Dr. Hydrology and Dr. Yin-Yang to conduct on-the-spot investigations, right? But, if you ask me, the distance from Yanjing is too close, I'm afraid that the people of Goguryeo and Dongying will not dare to act rashly. Therefore, The farther out, the better. Of course, considering the influence of the monsoon, the coast of the East China Sea is naturally not suitable."

"In other words, Beihai?"

The North Sea, the old name of the Bohai Sea, is an inland sea with a lot of wind and little rain. Therefore, the coast of the North Sea, especially the Cangzhou area on the west side, has been the largest and oldest salt field in China since ancient times.However, this does not mean that there is only one suitable salt field in Cangzhou.In fact, in Laizhou, there are also saltworks, but the scale is not as large as Changlu, Cangzhou, and the Laizhou saltworks still use the boiling salt method to make salt. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

And Laizhou just across the sea from Goguryeo.

The emperor ordered Qin Tianjian and relevant departments to test the sun-dried salt method in Laizhou. It is best to develop a salt-making method that is suitable for the climate of Laizhou and does not require iron pots, that is, does not require boiling salt.

The above sentence, the following will break your leg.

In the history of Huaxia, this sentence is always wrapped in countless blood and corpses, lying in the shadow of history, quietly staring at everyone.

Even if the officials in charge of making salt shook their heads again and again, the servants in charge of overseeing the work would always screech:

"The devil knows if what you are talking about is an excuse! Our family only knows that in the Song Dynasty, people used the method of drying salt! Our family can do it no matter what! Since the ancients can do it, you must find a way to do it arrive!"

There is no way, the local officials were sprayed all over their faces by these servants, some went back to check the books, some visited the local old people, and some led their stove households—no, it should be said now Shiohu - Shiohu people experiment with various possibilities.

Fortunately, the emperor did not give anything.What expands the area of ​​the salt field, expands the salt pool...

In this regard, those servants are more active than those salt officials.

For more than a year, at the expense of the lives of three salt officials, the people of Laizhou finally tested the salt drying method suitable for Laizhou—and the salt households who died in the process were gently given 50 taels of silver. Sent - more pension money was swallowed by the servants.

Also because of the success of the new sun-dried salt method, the output of the Laizhou salt field has quadrupled, and even the Cangzhou salt field has also benefited.

If the four saltworks in Cangzhou are related to the destiny of the country, and they need people who are too emperor, then, compared with Cangzhou, the Laizhou saltworks are not enough in terms of scale and output.

There is no way, Laizhou is close to the East China Sea, so it will be affected by the typhoon. In contrast, Cangzhou is much less affected. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Of course, in order to increase the appeal to Goguryeo, Dongying, and Japanese pirates, the emperor asked people to build another salt field besides the Ninghai salt field, which was directly under his control.

Also because of the Ninghai Salt Field and Gongjiatan Salt Field, the amount of salt that can be traded in the hands of the emperor has greatly increased. In just one year, the maritime trade from Laizhou to Goguryeo and Dongying has soared by [-]%. There was an endless stream of merchant ships.

The Central Plains exported copper coins, salt, high-grade silk and tea to Goguryeo and Japan, and shipped back a large amount of gold to China.

At the beginning, the emperor was very dissatisfied with the lack of response from Goguryeo and Dongying, but seeing his pockets bulging little by little, he stopped talking.

Overseas trade, the profits are too lucrative.
