Chapter 174 Princess?
But Butler Lin Su said privately to Wu Youwei: "With these eight nursing homes, I feel that this place is much safer!"
Wu Youwei......!! ! "
"It didn't feel safe before?" No?
"It used to feel like that. Here we rely on mountains and rivers, not people!" Lin Su said, "To be honest, Master, Master Wan is still thoughtful.
"Don't we also have Wujia Village?" Wu Youwei felt that there were not many people.
"What is Wu's Village?" Lin Su's housekeeper curled his lips: "They are all a group of old farmers, who dare to beat people up if they hold a hoe and threaten them to the sky?
Wu Youwei...that's right! "
When things happen, these nurses really dare to copy guys and kill people!
When they came, their luggage was loaded on the car, but when they unloaded their luggage, they did it by themselves. Butler Lin Su had seen their... swords, guns, swords and halberds...
Xiaoxiao boldly went up and touched them, they are all real guys!
If this is a person from Wujia Village, he can really pick up a hoe to fight, and at most add something with sharp teeth like a rake.
Even Wu Er said that the people working in Wujia Village are much more honest now.
"So they are dishonest?" Wu Youwei immediately sat up straight. If they were really dishonest, he couldn't use such workers.
"It's not dishonest, it's just that I was a bit impetuous. After all, Wujia Village is not a long-standing village. The nearby villages are all lived by clans with big surnames. How many people are there in Wujia Village? And this is the suburb of Beijing. Whose family?" There is no scholar yet? Some clansman has even been a high-ranking official!" Even now, there are many officials who are officials, but the current officials are more low-key. After all, in the capital, there are too many officials. There are countless honors and relatives.
Being an official does not mean that the entire clan has the confidence, just like the original Wu family, a thousand households of Jinyiwei who have no job, but it is just that people dare not bully or dare not be bullied.
But after the eight of them arrived at Moring Mountain Villa, they went down for a stroll, and everyone was honest.
Lin: Butler Su didn't tell Wu Youwei that they all went down for a walk in Jinyiwei's costumes...all of them also wore Jinyiwei's badges, and the way they looked at people...
Anyway, after their stroll, everyone was as quiet as a chicken...
In April, I also started to change clothes, and the Dragon Boat Festival is coming.
The spring clothes are getting thinner and thinner, and the summer clothes will be changed soon, but God made a big joke.
Xinyou in May, heavy rain and hail.
There was a heavy rain that day, and after the heavy rain, there was even hail!
The crops had just sprouted, and they were smashed by hailstones and frozen. The people rushed to the fields to check the situation. If it was really bad, they had to replant quickly.
Wujia Village also started to go to the fields to check the situation. Fortunately, it was not too serious, but it still needed to replant some, so it became busy.
The matter of hail was so great that even the emperor was implicated.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Wu Youwei gave gifts everywhere. He found that life in ancient times was really troublesome, and he had to move around during the festivals. However, the festive atmosphere of modern people is getting weaker and weaker, and they always say they don’t feel it.
How do you feel if you don't go out to visit relatives?
However, because of the hailstorm, the emperor avoided the main hall to reduce meals, and ordered his officials to repair provinces.
It is to reflect together, whether I have done something outrageous and let the heavens warn me.
This swept away the joy of the Dragon Boat Festival, and even the people of the world were no longer happy.
But Wu Youwei's reply here is very interesting, almost everyone returned to him... book!
Including Wantong, he got Wu Youwei the top three test papers of the previous emperor's reign and the current emperor's reign!
This is great.
Wu Youwei immediately sorted it out, and copied as many as five sets, one set was given to Wantong, and he was asked to print it, along with his "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" and the ones given to him by the two instructors he had accumulated before. The examination papers are all put together, and they are named "Chenghua Comprehensive Examination Paper for Phase I", and there will be "Second Phase", "Third Phase" and so on in the future.
To benefit students all over the world, Wantong also marked it in the book: Wu servant Wu Youwei, the collector.
And editor Zhang Sheng Zhang Qizhao; Yang Yiqing Yang Yingning.
These three people became famous all at once, and became famous with this set of comprehensive examination papers.
Two sets were given to the two instructors, he kept the remaining set, and he gave the other set to his little nephew: "Even if you don't need it now, you will always need it in the future. Save it now, and wait for it." When you are old enough to understand, just watch!"
Little Wu Qiong still didn't quite understand, so she just nodded ignorantly.
Wu Mengshi put away the things preciously.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, it became hot, and I changed into summer clothes. In addition, the houses in the villa were built quite high, so that the wind blowing through the halls made the house much cooler than the outside.
Wu Youwei is reluctant to go out when the weather is hot, but sometimes he has to go out, for example to pick up his little nephew, and there are some literary meetings.
Basically, a group of talented people get together, or take flowers as the theme, such as the lotus that blooms in summer, and they have to recite poems to counteract. Wu Youwei was too popular last year, everyone knows him, the couplets of Pinyuan Tea House, and Yayuan's literary club will give him invitation posts.
In the eyes of others, it is something to become famous, but in Wu Youwei's eyes, it is a burden. He would rather stay at home and read a book to cool off than go out to socialize.
In the end, I only went a few times, once with Zhang Sheng, once with invitations from Yang Yiqing, and once with Li Dongyang, and then he used the excuse of "reviewing the book" to reply to everyone's invitations.
The imperial examination will be held next year, and his reason is justified. In addition, he has no elders, let alone relatives, so it is good to just study behind closed doors.
As a result, on this day, June [-]th, Wantong suddenly ran over, and said to Wu Youwei with a happy face, "My elder sister gave birth!"
"Did you give birth?" Wu Youwei was also happy: "A boy or a girl?"
"It's a princess!" Wantong was almost overflowing with joy: "I was born on the night of June [-]th, which happened to be the night of the full moon.
"Princess?" Wu Youwei was taken aback, he remembered that Concubine Wan had given birth to a prince, but it was only a short time ago, never heard of a princess?
"Yeah!" Wantong said with a rare gleeful gritted teeth, "The emperor was very happy and asked me to reward you. You don't know, when my eldest sister gave birth, they said that the first child was a bit difficult. , or your medicine worked, and she was born in one breath. The princess was born with a loud voice, and the imperial doctors said that she was very healthy after seeing it...
The eldest sister had labor pains after taking a nap on June [-]th. At that time, there was an imperial doctor who was watching over her. Usually, the first-born child had a difficult time.
He knew that June was the day when his eldest sister gave birth, so he changed several shifts with others, and just followed the emperor, not going anywhere.
As soon as the news came from there, he followed the emperor to the eldest sister's Zhaode Palace. Hearing that the first birth was difficult, he gave the medicine bottle to the eldest sister's daughter in the palace.
The big maid fed the elder sister medicine, and after the Jade Rabbit ascended to the east, the child was born.
He is mainly happy that his eldest sister is doing well after giving birth, she can eat and sleep, the emperor is so happy that he can't find Bei, he keeps looking at the princess, and the atmosphere in the palace is also one of a kind loose.
If Concubine Wan gave birth to a son, it would be different, that would be the eldest son.
In this stall where the emperor obviously doesn't like the queen, there must be no hope of a son-in-law. The words "establish a son-in-law and establish a son" are not nonsense. The eldest son, that child is the prince, who is the future empress dowager.
How many pairs of eyes in the harem are looking at the elder sister!
Even the Empress Dowager Zhou was a little worried, because the elder sister's status was not good enough, and the Wan family didn't have anyone they could take care of.
Well now, the elder sister gave birth to a princess!
Princess, hehe...
In fact, the princess is really good, so that the eldest sister can have a daughter to accompany her. In the future, even if the emperor moves on, with the princess around, the eldest sister can also rely on her.
Why did he send someone to Wu Youwei a few days ago?Just noticed the small actions of the Bai family, fearing that Chi Yu would be harmed, they are all Jin Yiwei, who doesn't know who?
He was afraid that Bai Zhen would ruin Xiao Juren if he planted a frame.
The emperor agreed to send someone to protect him because he was afraid that Bai Zhen would mess with him and cause him to lose a talent.
Especially this time, the eldest sister was not made to suffer, let alone the eldest princess. Concubine Mother, she didn't want Concubine Mother to suffer, so she hurried out.
The emperor loves the eldest princess even more, even the empress dowagers of the two palaces gave the eldest princess a lot of things, but for the time being, the emperor does not allow people to see it, and has to wait until the full moon.
He just glanced at it, and felt that the child's lanugo hair was quite good, about an inch long, and he would be a woman with good hair in the future.
Without seeing her face, she was hugged in and fed.
Then he and the emperor had a foolish fun all night, and the next day he was full of energy and made red eggs everywhere, and only slept through the night, no, on the third day, he came to him to announce the good news.
"Hello princess, you have a niece!" Wu Youwei congratulated Wantong.
Wantong nodded reservedly, but those eyes are bright!
Wu Youwei couldn't help laughing, okay?
The emperor may think that Wu Youwei saved his beloved woman and child, so he gave Wu Youwei a generous reward.
Ten carts of silk and satin just for use came!
There were ten carts of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and eight carts of various high-end handicrafts of the Ming Dynasty.
There was even a dozen Yanyin given to Wu Youwei, Wu Youwei was a little dumbfounded holding the Yanyin: "...Give it to me?"
"Yes, it's for you!" Wan Tongdao: "The emperor may feel that the rewards given are not enough, so he specially added a dozen salts | for you, this thing is not easy to handle!"
Wu Youwei knew this.
In the Ming Dynasty, due to the lack of food at the border, the "Crafting Insect Law...Yanyin Tokens" was implemented: salt merchants needed to deliver grain to the border, and then exchanged the Yanyin in their hands from the hands of various frontier officials.
Because the emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that when he was very poor in the later period, the household department had no money, so he rewarded others with salt.
This thing is money!
And money may not be able to buy Yanyin.
It is said that it was not until the Qing Dynasty that the salt industry became a private industry. The restrictions on sales boundaries were abolished, and tickets were sold. As long as you want to sell salt, you can go to the Salt Bureau to take lessons, buy salt and get tickets. The imperial court only controls the salt bow | The number of releases broke the monopoly of the big salt merchants in a disguised form.
Salt merchants must buy salt if they want to do legal business, and peddlers must pay taxes if they want to get a share of the pie.
But Wu Youwei knew better that this was a disadvantage.
Big political ill
Because of history, in the early days of the Ming Dynasty, Shangtun went to Liaodong in the east, Xuanda in the north, Gansu in the west, and Jiaozhi in the south, and there were everywhere. Its prosperity played a certain role in the food reserves of the border defense army and the development of frontier areas. .
According to the needs of the Ming government, in addition to exchanging grain and rice for salt, sometimes cloth, silk, money, and horses can also be exchanged, but grain exchange is the main form.
However, during the Chenghua period of Emperor Xianzong, all sides were stopped from opening Chinese laws, and salt merchants were ordered to pay grain in exchange for salt imports from the Ministry of Households and the Transport Department.
It is the initial stage now, and there is already a salt trigger, but it is estimated that it will be reformed in the near future....
However, as the ruling class became more and more corrupt in the future, the royal family, eunuchs, nobles, and bureaucrats saw that it was profitable to hold salt coins, and they all petitioned for salt coins, resold them to salt merchants, and profited from them.
This phenomenon is called "nest occupation".
This phenomenon became more and more serious, which destroyed the middle-opening system and seriously affected the financial revenue of the Ming government. It is imperative to reform the salt law to make up for the country's financial revenue.
Later, during Emperor Xiaozong Hongzhi, Ye Qi was the Secretary of the Household Department, and the old system was changed so that merchants replaced rice with silver, handed it over to the transportation department, sent it to Taicang, and then distributed it to various parties. The amount of silver reached more than one million yuan, and the country's fiscal revenue increased sharply.
As a result, this broken method caused most of the salt merchants in the border areas to move in with their families, and the merchant villages were quickly destroyed, and the food reserves of the frontier army were also greatly reduced.
During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Yiqing asked merchants to be called to open the middle and implement commercial settlements.
Tossing and tossing, it is better to use the old method, otherwise how will the border gather popularity?
