Chapter 138 Smooth

It seems that this will be a relatively stable and smooth year, and Zhu Xiongying also feels relatively happy and satisfied.

Especially in early September, the East Palace is brightly lit, and the nuns and midwives who have been waiting for a long time are waiting, and they have a place to use their talents.

Xu Miaoqing's screams frightened Zhu Xiongying and made him restless. Even in today's Tianjia, it is very difficult for women to give birth to children. Fortunately, Xu Miaoqing's fetal position was correct and she also exercised, so she successfully gave birth to Zhu Xiongying's son.

Lao Zhu didn't put on airs, he just didn't stay in the East Palace. After learning that the Crown Princess had given birth to a son, Lao Zhu was overjoyed and immediately summoned Da Zhu and Xiao Zhu.

The three grandfathers and grandsons are all dressed in court uniforms. Such a happy event must be reported to the ancestors. Zhu Yunwen, the cheap second uncle, also has a task. When Zhu Yunxi, the biological uncle, does not return to Yingtian Mansion, naturally Zhu Yunwen, the cheap uncle, will do it.

My hometown in Fengyang reported the good news to our ancestors.

The one who is the direct elder must hold the right position. Although Zhu Wenyin was just born now, many people can guess it. As long as he grows up smoothly, that position will basically be his.

Just look at the position of the current crown prince and you will know it, just look at the status of the current emperor's grandson. The inheritance of the throne of the Ming Dynasty must be the direct eldest son, and even the inheritance of princes and prefectures is also inherited by the eldest son.

In fact, Zhu Wenyin had just been born, so it was not easy to register him now. But Lao Zhu was happy and talked a lot in front of Queen Ma's memorial tablet. Inevitably, he also had to report the happy event to his parents.

"My position seems to be more stable." Zhu Xiongying looked at the infant little guy and said with a smile, "Son, you have done a great service for dad. No one dares to have other thoughts now."

Zhu Wenyin was very disrespectful and started to cry loudly, which made Zhu Xiongying helpless. This son is not smart and is not as alert and lovable as we were when we were children.

This is the future throne. For the sake of the throne, you need to be well-behaved. For the sake of the throne, you also need to act cute no matter what happens!

Forget it, if his son is also a time traveler, Zhu Xiongying will be heartbroken. One monster like me is enough. The Ming Dynasty does not need so many monsters. At least it does not need that our son is also a monster, otherwise it will feel weird.

of.

Seeing Zhu Xiongying coming over happily, Lao Zhu asked, "Is Yin'er okay?"

"Eat well, sleep well, but love to cry." Zhu Xiongying showed off quite a bit and complained, "Grandpa Huang, my grandson didn't cry as much as Yin'er did when he was a child. Everyone used to say that I was the best.

The children I raise are also the most intelligent and lovable."

Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Xiongying lovingly and said, "Our Ying'er was really precocious when he was young. We and your imperial grandmother have talked about it a lot. But our Yin'er is also good, he is not as thoughtful as you.

.”

Da Zhu, who was reviewing the memorial, coughed and then said, "Yin'er is one month old. I will bring it out to your grandpa to see. He has been looking forward to it all day, and it is hard to go to the palace."

Lao Zhu originally wanted to refute, but suddenly acquiesced. It was indeed difficult for him to go to the palace of the concubine, but it was also difficult for the crown prince to go. This meant that Lao Zhu, the great-great-grandfather, wanted to hold his great-grandson very easily.

Difficult, Grandpa Da Zhu has never seen his precious grandson twice.

Zhu Xiongying naturally understood and hurriedly agreed. These things were indeed things he should consider. Lao Zhu still wanted to see his great-grandson. Four generations living under one roof was definitely one of Lao Zhu's ultimate dreams.

.

The birth of Zhu Wenyin did surprise many people, and the birth of this little guy also made many people feel a lot more at ease.

Needless to say, Zhu Xiongying no longer needs to worry about his heirs, and the thoughts of the civil servants and military generals are naturally clearer. Now it seems that no matter what, the status of the emperor's grandson is as stable as Mount Tai, and all factors cannot interfere with it.

Needless to say, Xu Miaoqing is the grandson concubine herself and is Zhu Xiongying's official wife. Now that she has given birth to Zhu Xiongying's eldest son, her status can be said to be even clearer. According to the current rules of the Ming Dynasty, her son only needs to

If you grow up smoothly and don't rebel, there will definitely be no problem with the throne.

As for Lian Qiongqiong's thoughts, it's simple. Before the grandson gave birth to her eldest son, she actually didn't dare to get pregnant. But now that the grandson has a legitimate son, she can naturally consider the issue of a bastard.

Zhu Xiongying has an heir. This is indeed not a small matter, because his identity is special enough, which naturally arouses the consideration of many people.

But for Zhu Xiongying now, he doesn't need to think about so many things. Now he only needs to hold his fat son and marry off his little sister with peace of mind. By the way, he thought of his useless brother at home, but some things took turns.

It's not up to him to make the decision.

Lao Zhu chose a wife for Zhu Yunxi, the daughter of Huixian Bo Sangjing, but Zhu Xiongying was not particularly optimistic about this marriage. For no other reason, his own Yunxi was now wild-minded, and it was impossible for this child to give up for a tree.

A whole forest.

As for Zhu Yunwen, she is also related to the daughter of Guanglu Shaoqing Ma Quan.

Some connections can also be seen here. In fact, Lao Zhu's sons and wives are basically from noble families. As for his grandchildren, some of them are from civil servant families.

Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yunxi are both the grandsons of Lao Zhu, but the difference is also very big. There are still some differences between whether they are legitimate grandsons or concubine grandsons. What's more, Zhu Xiongying's factors also need to be considered, and Zhu Yunwen naturally does not dare to

Comparing it with Zhu Yunxi, there is a difference between closeness and distance.

Zhu Xiongying knows very well the virtues of his silly boy. He really lies down and only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun. Don't expect him to do more things, as long as he doesn't do bad things. He is a complete and standard dude.

Template for children.

From now on, Wen Yin must be kept away from his second uncle to avoid being taught a bad lesson!

Of course, this was just a bit of a joke. Yunxi did lie down, but this kid was just a playboy who was just eating, drinking and having fun. He didn't have any bad intentions. He was still a good kid who was relatively worry-free.

Zhu Xiongying didn't think it was early to become a father at the age of nineteen. It was a normal thing in this era, and it could even be considered relatively late. What's more, Zhu Xiongying's mental age was obviously not just nineteen.

Regarding the year that is about to pass, Zhu Xiongying feels that it has basically gone smoothly, and he also feels relatively satisfied and happy.

Because no matter how you look at it, this is a relatively smooth year in all aspects. There is almost no war in the country, and the war in Japan is generally relatively stable, so there is no need to worry too much for the time being.

Judging from the domestic situation, the rectification of the official administration is relatively good, the people are generally living and working in peace and contentment, and the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger day by day. In addition to the official administration and people's livelihood, some progress in other aspects is not particularly obvious, but

Anyway, it is still making progress.

All of this naturally made Zhu Xiongying quite satisfied, and both Lao Zhu and Da Zhu also felt relatively happy. In their view, they did not say that a prosperous age had arrived, but they had already seen that a prosperous age was about to come.

Da Zhu coughed twice and felt a little cold, "Father, it's time to increase the salary of all officials."

Lao Zhu didn't like this topic. In his opinion, the salaries of civil and military officials were already quite high, and he also felt that there was really no need to increase them any more. It was really not cost-effective.

Da Zhu found it funny and continued, "More than two million taels of silver can be recovered from Nanyang every year. The jewels and corals sold by the imperial merchants can also get one million taels. Japan now produces more and more silver, and it can get three hundred taels every year."

There are more than ten thousand taels."

Lao Zhu was unhappy and said, "Our soldiers still need pay. If you don't have pay, who will help you fight the war! Ying'er is building bridges and paving roads. It's okay to say that those in labor camps should have some food to satisfy their hunger. Peking is still building the emperor.

City, we have no money."

No matter how much money is spent, Lao Zhu did not become rich just because he seemed to have five million taels more silver every year. He was still reluctant to spend more money. Especially if the money was for civil and military officials.

Lao Zhu was naturally even more reluctant to part with his official salary increase.

Thinking of something, Lao Zhu said, "Biao'er, you have to remember. No matter how good the silver is, it is just silver. In times of famine, this silver cannot be eaten. Food and cloth are the foundation of people's homes!"

"

It doesn’t matter whether we say that Lao Zhu has a small-farmer consciousness or that Lao Zhu’s vision has limitations.

But it is certain that Zhu Xiongying also thinks that silver or gold is really just currency sometimes. In the final analysis, the value of these things often depends on social productivity. No matter how much money there is, sometimes it is of no use.

.

Zhu Xiongying is still thinking about getting out of the bank. After all, Ming Dynasty's money seems to be a little richer now, but the advancement of this matter is not that easy.

In addition to Lao Zhu and Da Zhu not being enthusiastic about these things, the main reason is Ming Dynasty's current wealth and so on. Five million taels of silver is not too much. Not to mention a drop in the bucket, there is indeed no money now.

The method allowed Zhu Xiongying to immediately set up a banking system.

However, treasure banknotes have been relaxed a little. In the past, they were just "paper currency" and were not exchangeable by the government. Now it is a little better. In some cases, treasure banknotes can also be exchanged for a certain amount at the government.

This can be regarded as some good things promoted by Zhu Xiongying. After all, according to Lao Zhu's idea, the treasure banknotes can just be printed. He really has not thought about recycling, scrapping, etc., and has not considered damage or other things.

Zhu Xiongying continued to review the memorial, and asked his grandfather and father for advice from time to time.

But Zhu Xiongying was also a little worried. Da Zhu had been coughing for a while. In fact, after a serious illness the year before last, Da Zhu's health was not very good, and he was prone to fever and cold every spring and autumn.

Zhu Xiongying really can't do anything about anti-inflammatory drugs and so on, and he really can't make these good things now.
