[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Maybe there is still a little bit of incompatibility between the husband and wife, but for the emperor, this is already very good, after all, nothing is perfect in this world, is it?

The news that the emperor stayed in the Qingliang Palace directly caused a bunch of low-ranking concubines to secretly grit their silver teeth, but those senior concubines only sighed when they heard about it.

They all know the emperor's temperament, among other things, back then in Qiandi, when Empress Meng had not lost her husband's heart, isn't it the same for Wansui today?Even if Empress Meng was unwell, he still rested in the main courtyard.Later, Empress Meng wanted to be famous, and she was far away from the present who was still the prince at that time. Didn't Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhou, who were only the concubines of the prince at that time, also get favored one by one?Later, Mrs. Zhu entered the mansion and was pampered for 20 years in a row. During these 20 years, even after Long Live ascended the throne, even if it was said by the Yushitai, as long as it was not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, it must be the day of the queen, even if Mrs. Zhu Didn't the emperor still rest in the Honghui Hall when he was unwell?

These concubines who came from the Qiandi are the youngest Zhu Guiren, who is almost 40 years old now, and is no longer on the list of bed attendants.After learning about this, the most she could do was to say to her confidantes: "...at least that is also the empress of the palace, and she raised four princes for Long Live. Long Live loves the Queen, that is the blessing of the harem and the blessing of the court." Fu. If the ones who are favored today are the little goblins below, I'm afraid they will be in trouble again."

For these older concubines who have sons, what they want most at present is to live in peace, and then wait for their sons to take them out to take care of them in the future.For anything else, they no longer asked for it.Therefore, for them, the calmer the harem, the better, and the young concubines, firstly, they are not tolerant enough, and secondly, if the harem is too disciplined, where will they have a chance?Isn't it the same as being a widow?

However, in this era, the imperial palace is the epitome of the whole world. If the maids and maids are the epitome of those servants and untouchables, then these low-ranking concubines are the epitome of ordinary people.In terms of national law, it is true that they are the little masters in the palace, but they do not enjoy much power, and sometimes they are bullied by those big palace ladies and servants.Only when they get mixed up with the nine concubines, can they truly occupy a place in the palace and be truly qualified to start talking about human rights.Otherwise, even if they are the daughters of important ministers, they are nothing more than that.

Not to mention these concubines, let alone the emperor, he went to visit the Supreme Emperor after the early morning court. For 20 years, the father and son finally talked openly and honestly for a whole day. Let the emperor go. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Everyone in the palace was puzzled, and some smart people guessed that the father and son had finally reconciled.But those concubines have limited sources of information, so naturally they don't know what the Supreme Emperor did with the emperor.It's just that a very small number of servants and maids know a little bit, but how dare they talk too much?

After a full communication with the Supreme Emperor, although the previous court did not have nothing to say, the Supreme Emperor's prestige is still there. Over the years, the emperor has also accumulated some contacts. Because the Supreme Emperor is powerful, the emperor does not seem to have much power. He is down-to-earth, and even because of his down-to-earth, the influence of his brothers in the court has shrunk step by step. Therefore, the adoption of Lin Daiyu's second son back to the Lin family can be said to be a dark wave in private. Passed peacefully.Even though people were talking about it behind their backs, in the end, Lin Daiyu's second son was adopted back to the Lin family.

However, even if the adoptive family returned to the Lin family, the emperor and King Yi would not look at others as superior to the prince of the palace.Therefore, 20 years after Lin Ruhai passed away, Lin Ruhai still separated from the Lin clan.

Anyway, he is far away from the Lin clan, just like what he said to Lin Daiyu back then, Lin Daiyu has no brothers and sisters within five clothes in the Lin clan, in fact, Lin Ruhai himself is similar.Their team was known for being thin and thin.If it weren't for the name of Lin Ruhai's Duke Wende, Lin Ruhai might even enjoy extremely limited incense in the Lin family now.Also because of the name of Lin Ruhai's Duke Wende, the Lin family was very reluctant to let Lin Ruhai be separated.

But what can be done about it?They are different from Lin Ruhai's branch. Lin Ruhai's branch is very prominent, with four generations of lords, and Lin Ruhai, a Tanhualang, but they are basically a group of ordinary people, even if there are a few scholars among them, many people There is fame and fame, but in this era, imperial power is supreme.

The Lin family could only watch helplessly as the coffins of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were separated.However, after Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were moved out of the ancestral graves of the Lin family, the tomb set up by the Lin family for Lin Ruhai and Jia Min continued to burn incense every year.Although it was officially determined that Lin Ruhai's heir was Lin Daiyu's second son, within the Lin family, Lin Ruhai's heir was someone else.

Of course, this is a story.

As Lin Daiyu's second son was adopted back to her natal family and Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's couple moved their graves to attract the attention of most courtiers, the royal family secretly opened up a part of the fleet, attracting many businessmen to join the royal fleet and travel abroad. trading.

You know, many years ago, overseas trade was in the hands of those important ministers, even if the emperor wanted to lift the sea ban, he could only do it secretly.Ten years later, the royal family finally overwhelmed those important ministers and became the number one merchant at sea. Now, the royal family has finally opened up the fleet in the hands of the royal family, attracting merchants from all over the world to join the maritime trade.

This is no different from opening the sea ban in disguise.

For ten years, the sea ban finally existed in name only.

And after tasting the profits of the sea ban, even if those important ministers use the truth, they can't stop Huaxia from exploring overseas.

The emperor successively established Laizhou Shipping Department—mainly in charge of the triangular trade between Dongying and Koguryo, and Yongzhou Shipping Department—mainly in charge of trade between the Ryukyu Islands and Luzon. Among them, the mining of malachite in Luzon is related to the big Jin's currency circulation and price stability are the top priorities, and the Qiongzhou Shipping Department.

Yes, the last Shibo Division was not located in Yazhou in the south of Lingnan, but in Qiongzhou.The first chief officer of Qiongzhou Shipping Department was one of Jia Lian's aides at that time. His surname was Zhang Mingzhao. He asked Zhang's family to find help for Jia Lian. After Jia Lian went home to observe his filial piety, he left everything and went back to Zhang's family.If King Qin, who is regarded as the crown prince, hadn't come to the door in person, Zhang Zhao would not have nodded and agreed to take up any official position.

Among the chief officers of the shipping department in the three cities, Zhang Zhao is the most outstanding.On the one hand, he managed Qiongzhou well, and on the other hand, he made the Nanyang forces clear and calm, and even provided a lot of help for the imperial court to establish the Nanyang Navy.

And Jingshi was quickly stunned by Zhang Zhao's Qiongzhou shipping department.

Just like what I said before, why did Ke Chengye start his career in Nanyang and end up fighting in Japan?Isn't it because the profits on this triangle trade route from Laizhou to Goguryeo to Dongying and finally back to Laizhou are too lucrative? !

Not only the Laizhou-Koguryo-Dongying route, but also the Shuangyu Island-Ryukyu-Dongying route is extremely profitable.Therefore, there is no such thing as a Tokyo on the sea on Shuangyu Island. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

That is to say, in this era, due to the vast sea area of ​​Nanyang, the sea route has become much longer than that of the East China Sea. Naturally, this profit rate has dropped a lot.However, this was all before Zhang Zhao went to Qiongzhou.

First of all, small-leaf red sandalwood, agarwood, Canaan incense and other precious woods were continuously sent to the capital, causing the price of the precious wood market in the capital to drop by [-]% unexpectedly!And then there are the pearls!

Huaxia Hepu Nanzhu was famous all over the world during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but since ancient times, pearls have been born naturally.Although the emperor obtained the method of pearl cultivation from Jia Yan many years ago, it was not a long time before this method was successfully verified. Therefore, not many high-quality Hepu Nanzhu were sent to Beijing.

But Zhang Zhao asked his wife to go to Hepu to select high-quality pearl oysters, and then bring them back to Qiongzhou for raising—this was one of the conditions he got from the emperor.

Hepu pearls are run by the government, and the common people are forbidden to collect them privately, which has led to the development of a deformed pearl culture. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

But in Qiongzhou, pearls also belonged to the official camp, and they belonged to the Xuanhui Mansion in name, but in fact, the servant in charge was under the orders of Zhang Zhao.The harvested pearls belonged to the Xuanhui Mansion, but the ointment made from pearl oysters belonged to Qiongzhou and Zhang Zhao himself.

In just three years, the Qiongzhou Pearl shocked the entire palace, and even the Empress Dowager knew Zhang Zhao's name.

On this day, when Jia Yan brought Mrs. Zhu and Concubine Zhou De and Concubine Zhao Jing to greet the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager couldn't help shaking the pearl fourteen-child bracelet in her hand and asked, "Queen, I heard that this announcement Huifu sent some top-notch Lianzhu, but really?"

"If you go back to your mother, yes."

"Oh, how amazing is this! This Hepu Lianzhu has always exchanged people for pearls, almost every pearl and life! Throughout the dynasties, there have been many people who rebelled for this Lianzhu. How is this possible? Good! This prefect of Hepu really deserves to be killed!"

Concubine Wu Xian immediately said: "Your Majesty, you are wrong, these Lianzhu are not sent from Hepu, but from the Shipping Department of Qiongzhou City."

"Empress, what's going on here? I remember that this Qiongzhou shipping secretary, Zhang Zhao, is your cousin, right? How can there be pearls in this Qiongzhou?"

The author has something to say:

Shuangyu Island: In the real history of our side, Shuangyu Port was a truly prosperous sea city in the Ming Dynasty.

The current Japanese seawater pearls are Hepu pearls.It is said that Japanese pearl companies go to Hepu almost every year to select high-quality pearl mussels.
