I am the king of the dead

If he said something wrong, the Prince Ji's Mansion would suffer, and it would be the disaster of destroying the family.

But Zhu Jianshen's intelligence has his own ideas.

Qian was very worried, but he had to go.

"Mr. Zhou, you wait at home. I'll take the son to Tai'an Palace." In the end, Mrs. Qian decided to go on her own. Even if something happened, she was Princess Ji, so she could handle urgent matters better.

Chapter 2 Thirty: Zhu Jianshen worships the new year, and Li Guiren gets his wish

For Concubine Ji Qian, this year is completely different. She spent the first half of the year in fear, but because His Majesty cut the title of Supreme Emperor a few years ago, the entire Ji Palace became uneasy.

She lived a very hard life in the huge palace.

In the second half of the year, the sky fell apart.

Your Majesty beheaded King Jili in the Taimiao, that was a crime against the heavens, that was killing relatives righteously, she can't do anything as a woman, and she doesn't know what to say or do.

In particular, King Jili brought back a woman, a woman from the grassland, who was pregnant.

At that moment, Qian Shi finally fully recognized what King Ji Li really looked like.

But the wealth and lives of all the people in Jiwang Mansion suddenly fell on her alone. This change in identity gave her no time to think.

With the repeated changes in the court situation, when Ji Wang Mansion was poisoned and almost died at the hands of Huichang Bo Mansion, she finally found a possibility to keep Ji Wang Mansion alive.

Cut the Queen Mother completely, and then live her own life behind closed doors.

Only in this way can the Prince Ji Mansion survive.

However, as the emperor's nephew, Zhu Jianshen had to go to his uncle's Tai'an Palace to celebrate the new year.

This year's New Year is a bit more lively than last year, but there are still no people lighting fireworks. This year, the Fireman and Wucheng Bingmasi can relax a little bit.

His Majesty the Great Emperor, the ambition to destroy the Wala people is as hot as the sky, everyone is very clear and understands the determination.

All the saltpeter and nitrate were sent to the newly established salt boiling camps, and then made into new gunpowder and placed in Wang Gong's factory.

Sitting in a car, Mrs. Qian came to Tai'an Palace, which was rebuilt from Prince Yi's Mansion. It was changed from a mansion to a palace. Naturally, it had to be expanded. Fortunately, the mansion of Prince Tan was surrounded by ten princes' mansions, and there was no other prince in Ming Dynasty except for the son of Prince Ji. , It is extremely easy to rebuild.

The height of the square wall, the addition of the female wall, and the sentry tower, the transfer of all the personnel in Tai'an Palace, is not only the internal department, but also the external court, and it is up to His Majesty to decide.

Mrs. Qian got out of the car and led the child into Tai'an Palace.

Tai'an Palace still has the same layout as before. The main hall was expanded from Chengyun Hall to Tai'an Hall, but the blue tiles were replaced with yellow tiles to show the dignity of the emperor.

Qian led Zhu Jianshen to the Tai'an Hall, and after seeing the ceremony, asked Zhu Jianshen to celebrate the new year.

Zhu Jianshen didn't know the grievances between adults, let alone the rise and fall of a country. When he saw Zhu Qiyu, he knelt down and kowtowed and said, "See Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe."

"Send off the old ones, welcome the new ones, dot the plums, and wish your majesty good luck and prosperity."

Now Zhu Jianshen can already speak long sentences, and he is extremely fluent.

These auspicious words were obviously taught by the mothers in Prince Ji's mansion.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Pingshen, Xing'an, give the lucky money."

The emperor also gave New Year's money, and he gave a lot of it. In addition to silver money, there was also a set of silk and silk from the Prince's Mansion according to the system.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Jianshen's etiquette was very good, he stood up and looked at the many rewards, which had nothing to do with him at all.

"Come closer." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.

This nephew was poisoned once this year, and Lu Zhong didn't care how serious he was. He interrogated a few cooks in Jiwang's mansion, and the methods were ruthless, which shocked Zhu Jianshen a lot. He fell ill once and consumed a lot of physical strength. Now Zhu Jianshen is a bit thin and thin, but he has grown a lot.

Zhu Jianshen was still a little unfamiliar, but his aunt and mother kept telling him to listen to this uncle, so he walked up to the platform tentatively and came to Zhu Qiyu's side.

Zhu Qiyu asked a few words about the cost of food and clothing in Prince Ji's mansion, and the child's words were unscrupulous, Zhu Jianshen complained again.

Zhu Jianshen told his mother, Mrs. Zhou, not to give him meat...

This is a common question. Zhu Qiyu looked at Qian and said, "The child is still young, so he should eat more. If he is strong, he will get sick less."

Zhu Qiyu has no experience in breastfeeding children. He is not good at breastfeeding himself, so he just thinks it is better for the child to grow stronger.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy." Qian was relieved. His Majesty's attitude was the same as last year, and there was not much change. He still focused on observation of Prince Ji's Mansion.

Zhu Jianshen was playing with Zhu Qiyu's green and purple pendant, and suddenly asked, "Uncle, is my father dead? Mother said she was guilty of the heavens and went to see the ancestors."

As soon as this question came up, Qian's back was suddenly covered with sweat. He was afraid that Zhu Jianshen would ask about King Jili, but the child still asked.

Qian's head was already drenched in sweat.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Qian's appearance as if he was facing a big enemy. Perhaps in everyone's eyes, Zhu Qiyu was a tyrant who was so cruel that he would skin people and send them to Abi Hell.

The Tai Hospital is now separated by yin and yang, one side is the gate of Qisheng in Yangjian, and the other is hell on earth.

He said solemnly to Zhu Jianshen: "Yes, your father, King Jili, did many things that were very unfavorable to Daming. I killed him in the Taimiao and sent him to meet the ancestors."

Zhu Qiyu admitted this very generously, and continued to say solemnly: "You want to be a good boy, and you will also be a good King Ji in the future, and a person who is beneficial to Ming Dynasty, do you hear me?"

Although Zhu Jianshen didn't understand why Hexu's uncle suddenly became so serious, he still nodded solemnly and said, "Well, Ruer knows it!"

"Okay, let's go back, uncle is still very busy here." Zhu Qiyu patted his head and nodded.

Zhu Jianshen asked in a low voice: "Uncle, do you still have caramel here? My mother won't let me eat candy, saying that my teeth will break."

Zhu Qiyu flipped through his sleeves, handed Zhu Jianshen five pieces of caramel and said, "Take it."

"Mother, candy." Zhu Jianshen raised his hand and ran down the platform. This was his New Year's gift, and the mothers did not allow candy.

Zhu Qiyu signaled Qian Shi to leave.

Mrs. Qian pulled Zhu Jianshen into the car, and took out a caramel in Zhu Jianshen's hand. She hesitated for a moment, peeled off the wrapper, and ate one by herself first.

After a long time, Qian breathed a sigh of relief, touched Zhu Jianshen's head, and signaled that he could eat.

After the car drove away from Tai'an Palace, Qian Shi heaved a sigh of relief.

Historically, Zhu Jianshen erected the tomb of Ming Dynasty Zong, and Zhu Jianshen also replaced the blue tiles with yellow ones. After the death of Queen Wang, he was buried with Ming Dynasty Zong with Zhu Jianshen's permission.

Zhu Jianshen in history was not mean to his uncle Ming Dynasty Zong.

Zhu Qiyu only hoped that he would be sensible, grow up well, and be the King Ji of Ming Dynasty.

There was an endless stream of courtiers celebrating the new year in front of Tai'an Palace. Zhu Qiyu waited until the curfew time before Xing'an sent the last group of people away and locked Tai'an Palace.

Xing'an went to Wang Gong's factory. He wanted to check the fire prevention. The Spring Festival is a festive day, and Xing'an wanted to ensure that no one would spoil the celebration.

It is enough to have a Li Binyan to trouble His Majesty.

Xing'an inspected all the places according to the usual route, and checked the ancient and modern Tongji library again. The atlases and charts he reproduced are only a small part of the vast library.

For the rest of the books, Sanjing Factory is still working overtime to reproduce them.

Xing'an went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Sun, and then rushed to the Taibai Tower.

There are many officials in Yanxing Building, and there are many merchants in Taibai Building. These two places are the places where Xing'an collects information, and it is also a place to listen to folk discussions.

The recent hot spots in the capital are nothing more than Li Binyan's impeachment of His Majesty's aunt and grandpa. Hua Tuo is still alive in the imperial hospital. He has a good hand and a benevolent heart.

As for Zhao Jin in Shandong, it seems that no one wants to talk about it anymore.

Regarding silver coins, it is still a hot topic on the street. Merchants are chasing profit, and they exchanged the scattered silver taels of the people, and they began to roll up.

Goose eyes, sand shells, fish eyes, water floats, dime coins, etc. are all thin and small. Copper coins made of earth sand, copper, lead, and tin can no longer be exchanged for scattered silver.

You can only exchange it with a sufficient amount of Tongbao, and the common people are not confused.

His Majesty loosened the ban on gold and silver, and received silver coins from all over the world. Merchants moved upon hearing the news, exchanged copper coins or other goods in their hands for variegated silver, minted them into golden flowers and silver, and sent them to Baoyuan Bureau.

This has formed a certain range of Jingshi Yingui.

Xing'an walked through the compartments of the Taibai Building, and the merchants were still mostly concerned with profit.

Since the implementation of the Mansion Law, the business of Yanxing Building has not been as hot as before, but Taibai Building has become more and more popular.

After Zhu Qiyu took a bath and changed clothes, when she flipped through the signs, she realized that Tang Yunyan had her period, and there was only Li Xi'er's sign.

Holding Li Xi'er's sign in his hand, Zhu Qiyu came to the Lord Hua'e where Li Xi'er lived.

Obviously Tang Yunyan was also there, because the sound of playing the piano came from the attic, crisp and melodious.

The big strings are like a rain, and the small strings are cut like a whisper.

Cut the wrong bullets, and the big beads are falling into the jade plate.

As soon as the tune was changed, the timbre became heavy.

Just as Zhu Qiyu was about to go upstairs, Tang Yunyan's clear and penetrating voice sounded in the attic.

Zhu Qiyu listened in a daze.

"Fengwei is connected to Yongfeng Township, and there are eight buckets of grain per mu of official land. There is no thickness in farming, and the official rent is a pleasure."

"The year before last in Dashui Doumen, there was not even half of the grain fields at the bottom of the polder. Lixu sued the disaster county officials for anger, and he is chasing rent like chasing souls."

"It's not surprising that there is land chasing rent. All the official land is sold to the people, and the rich get the land and the poor settle the rent."

"Every year, the old rent is replaced by a new rent. The old rent is rented out, and the new rent is promoted, and the yellow calf is sold to the city. A calf can be estimated at a time, and the debtor calculates the interest and does not count as the mother."

"If you have a calf to sell, don't be sad. The neighbors in the east sell both calves and sons. I hope you have a son by my side. Next year I will have to plant official land."

This is a piece of folk music. Zhu Qiyu heard the various lives of the people in Yongfeng Township through Tang Yunyan's natural sound.

The flood flooded the year before last, and there was not even half of the seedlings in the field. Lizheng and subordinate officials sued for disasters. There are also selling children and selling daughters.

At a salt and iron meeting, Jin Lian also mentioned that there was a salter who owed salt, and Jin Lian asked for an order to waive it, but was ordered by King Jili to pay it back.

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a long time before walking into the Huae Pavilion. The Nuan Pavilion was very warm, and Zhu Qiyu took off his coat.

Tang Yunyan looked at His Majesty in surprise, hurriedly stood up and saluted, and said softly, "See Your Majesty."

Li Xi'er was a little flustered, she was not prepared at all, she never expected that His Majesty would come to her warm pavilion on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's peace." Li Xi'er's cheeks were a little blushing. Sister Tang was not perfect in October, and she dragged on for two months.

Zhu Qiyu motioned for the two nobles to be flat.

He looked at the blush on Tang Yunyan's forehead and sighed. After four months of hard work, the tree Tang Yunyan still had no fruit.

According to Mrs. Wen, there is nothing wrong with Tang Yunyan's body. It may be that she was too greedy for pleasure, which led to venting.

Zhu Qiyu didn't understand, but Tang Yunyan didn't seem to care too much, they were both young, and it didn't matter if they had sex for a few days.

"Sister take good care of Your Majesty." Tang Yunyan told Li Xi'er playfully, then got up and said, "The concubine will leave."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty Tang, stay here."

Tang Yunyan's face instantly turned red, what is His Majesty going to do?She's having menstruation, so she can't serve His Majesty.

Is it possible...

Chapter 231 They Are Always Closely Together

Looking at Tang Yunyan's face, Zhu Qiyu knew that this girl might have misunderstood, and he didn't intend to do anything out of the ordinary.

He just wanted her to stay for a while and ask the story behind the folk music she sang.

But Tang Yunyan looked shy and full of affection.

Zhu Qiyu motioned Tang Yunyan to sit down and asked about folk music.

This piece of folk music is not from the north, but from the Susong area, Suzhou Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture, where heavy taxes and heavy taxes were imposed in the Ming Dynasty. The heavy taxes and heavy taxes in these two places did not happen overnight, but were formed after the Northern Song Dynasty. .

Productivity is one aspect, and Susong area has three crops a year, and mature development is another aspect.

"I often hear courtiers and common people talk about rent-seeking. What is the specific method of pursuing rent?" Zhu Qiyu had certain psychological expectations for the word "rent-seeking". Just the tone of panic.

Tang Yunyan happened to be singing today, so Zhu Qiyu naturally wanted to ask.

Tang Yunyan knew that His Majesty was asking about a serious matter, so she put away those fantasies that made people run amok, and seriously talked about the word rent-chasing.

Zhu Qiyu listened in a daze to Tang Yunyan talking about the terrible rent-chasing by Jin Gentlemen.

At the Salt and Iron Conference, some courtiers would say that gentry were called great benevolent people in the countryside, and some gentry advocated lenient treatment of servants and opposed treating them too harshly.

Among some family instructions, most of them are how to repair bridges and repair roads, reduce or exempt land rent, reduce recovery, distribute grain in disaster years, build ditches, etc.

Zhu Qiyu had seen those family precepts, such as the family precepts in "Mr. Tongan Lin Ciya's Collected Works", almost all of them said similar words, but he didn't quite believe it.

From Tang Yunyan's words, Zhu Qiyu found that these words were really unbelievable.

Because in Daming, chasing rent has become a common phenomenon in almost all places.
