He is the emperor, and theoretically, all the maids and maids in the harem are his women. Although Liu Ziqiu has been unwilling to expand the size of the harem, the total number of women in the harem has exceeded a thousand. If these are all his women
, I’m afraid most of them can’t.
Giving a name, isn't this in line with those jokes in history? The most important thing is that Liu Ziqiu comes from a later generation and will not treat women like a piece of clothing. Even these women now, he feels that he can't take care of them. How can he continue to expand himself?
harem.
Hua Yun whispered in Liu Ziqiu's ear: "Does the emperor want her to become a moldy old maid?"
This is a dirty joke that Liu Ziqiu told Hua Yun. In the era before Liu Ziqiu traveled through time, countless versions of vulgar and dirty jokes were circulated at the dinner table and in text messages. The military camps were full of hot-blooded young men, covered in
There is nowhere to vent his strength, and he will inevitably tell a few paragraphs after turning off the lights at night. Of course, after time travel, Liu Ziqiu’s identity is different, so these jokes cannot be made casually outside.
He said it. Even at home, that would not work. Because most of his women are well-educated, such as Xie Muyu, who has never uttered a curse word since she was a child. Although Gao Xiuer also lived at the bottom of society for a period of time, after all, she has a family background.
, she would not listen to those jokes told by Liu Ziqiu. Only Hua Yun, who disguised herself as a man and mingled with the common people in the military camp, could exchange a few words with Liu Ziqiu.
The joke was originally just that Hua Yun mentioned that there was a woman in her hometown who was ugly and had a bad temper, so she never got married and was left alone when she got old. At that time, Liu Ziqiu remembered the old joke and said casually, then she
She is an old maid. No one has used it below, so she must have become moldy. But she didn't expect Hua Yun to apply this metaphor to Wang Yufeng.
Liu Ziqiu glanced at Wang Yufeng, who was kneeling on the ground again, and shook his head unconsciously. For such a charming woman, there would probably be a long queue of people in the world willing to marry her, so how could she become an old maid?
Hua Yun had already continued: "She is different from the other maids around me. It is impossible for the emperor to let her out of the palace."
Liu Ziqiu had stipulated that the maids in the palace must be sent out of the palace after they reach the age of twenty-four at most, and the palace will distribute silver coins to choose husbands for them to marry. And Liu Ziqiu did this, and sent them out every year
Some of the palace ladies married into the private sector. These palace ladies had been in the palace for many years. They had already accumulated some wealth, and received special allocations from the palace. In the blink of an eye, they became one by one.
Little rich women. Moreover, they were born with beauty. After learning the etiquette in the palace, their temperament became even more outstanding. No one cared about whether they were virgins. Of course, men who married these palace ladies would find that they had won the big prize. Those palace ladies were actually all
They are perfect bodies. This further makes these dismissed palace ladies even more popular. Some people even make arrangements to marry the parents of those palace ladies in advance.
However, as Hua Yun said, even if all the palace ladies are released from the palace, at least Wang Yufeng does not have this qualification because she is Wang Shichong's daughter. Of course, when Wang Shichong really gets old, all his ambitions will be wiped out, and then he will
It doesn't matter if Wang Yufeng is released from the palace. But by then, Wang Yufeng may really become an old maid.
Seeing the somewhat tangled look on Liu Ziqiu's face, Hua Yun whispered again: "There is something even more different. She is also golden underneath, just like her hair."
Liu Ziqiu usually told Hua Yun some dirty jokes just to lighten the mood, but now he was aroused by Hua Yun's dirty words. He was not a hypocritical person, and he had already adapted to his current position, and there was no need to pretend to be aloof.
, and nodded slightly.
Seeing that he finally agreed, Hua Yun felt a little disappointed. But women in this era are always accustomed to placing themselves in a subordinate position, even if Hua Yun is a female general. After all, there are only a few like Fan Lihua.
Hua Yun sighed in her heart and said to Wang Yufeng: "Silly girl, why don't you thank the Emperor quickly?"
Wang Yufeng was still worried at first, but after hearing Hua Yun's words, she couldn't help but smile and said a deep blessing: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."
Liu Ziqiu also raised his hand helplessly. A flowery girl wanted to commit herself to him, and she also wanted to thank her for her grace. In this evil old era! When he looked back, Hua Yun had quietly retreated with the maids, and there was only one person in the whole garden.
He and Wang Yufeng were left alone.
At this time, Liu Ziqiu no longer suppressed his desire, grabbed Wang Yufeng's slender waist, picked her up horizontally, and walked into a palace. Soon, waves of melancholy sounds could be heard in the room, but below
What it looks like is hard for outsiders to tell.
…
Liu Ziqiu got a beautiful woman, but he did not indulge in it. The next day, he ordered someone to find Peg, scolded him, and then sent someone to "send" him out of the Han Dynasty. The so-called gift, of course, meant sending troops to escort him.
. However, Liu Ziqiu also promised the Byzantine Empire that he would not interfere in the war between them and the Persians. On the other hand, Liu Ziqiu also promised to conduct direct trade with the Byzantine Empire and could sell them a batch of military supplies.
Pegg didn't quite believe what Liu Ziqiu said. Because there was a Persian Sasanian dynasty between the Han and Byzantium, Khosrow II would never allow the Han's military supplies to be transported to the Byzantine Empire through their borders. Of course.
, the Han people could also choose to transship through the Western Turkic grassland. However, the grassland environment is extremely harsh and is not suitable for use as a trade route. Otherwise, there would be another Silk Road.
However, Liu Ziqiu was confident. He had just obtained the secret place, and Chen Leng's navy had already bypassed Africa and arrived at the distant Mediterranean. However, for safety reasons, Chen Leng did not immediately let the navy land, but returned to the original route.
Returned to the small military port that had just been established in northwest Africa.
Without logistical supplies, no matter how powerful the fleet is, it will be difficult to exert its combat effectiveness. If a certain archduke on the Mediterranean coast suddenly has evil thoughts, the Han expeditionary navy will have no chance of winning.
Liu Ziqiu admired Chen Leng's caution very much. He had never expected to be able to open such a route in a short time, and he did not want the most advanced navigation technology at that time to be lost to the West due to the defeat of the navy. From later generations
Liu Ziqiu knew the meaning of the ocean very well and had already understood the navigation skills
Techniques are classified as one of the most important secrets of the country. Before Chen Leng and the others set out, Liu Ziqiu specifically explained that once the fleet encounters an accident, the charts and compasses must be destroyed first. Of course, the accident here means that the entire fleet may be attacked.
Otherwise, without the compass and chart, they would not be able to come back.
Now that the route around Africa to the West has been established, all Liu Ziqiu has to do is to form one or several maritime caravans. The maritime caravans will obtain part of the nautical map, and will also receive protection and supplies from the Han Navy along the route.
.Moreover, Liu Ziqiu also allowed these caravans to have their own weapons.
As for whether anyone is willing to form such a caravan, Liu Ziqiu is not worried. The world is bustling with people, just for the word "profit". If he is given ten times the profit, he is willing to risk beheading. A good one
An example is the gold and diamond mines in Southwest Africa. Those mines are in very desolate areas, surrounded by cannibals, but they still attract many people to mine. Because according to the agreement, the mined
They only need to hand over half of the gold or diamonds, and the rest belongs to them personally. This is due to the attraction of "profit".
In fact, the gold or diamonds mined by these people eventually flowed back to the Han Dynasty. Because in that desolate land, no matter how much gold or diamonds a person owned, he could not live the life he wanted.
Only by returning to the land of the Han Dynasty can he realize his dream. And these people who have returned from Africa to dig gold are generous and spend money like water, and will soon attract more people to join their team.
However, before announcing the route to the west and forming a caravan, Liu Ziqiu still had many other things to do. The first thing was to select a county horse for the "Jiangdu Princess".
…
Of course, this princess of Jiangdu is not Wang Yufeng, but Hua Yun carefully selected from the Byzantine women sent by Shi Danai. Although these Byzantine women are beautiful, they are actually born in ordinary families and have low status in the empire.
Some were freemen, and some were even just serfs on the lands of dukes and counts.
The woman selected by Hua Yun was the daughter of a serf. According to the laws of the empire, the descendants of serfs could only become slaves. If she had not been selected as a gift and sent to the Western Turks, she would have been like her parents.
She continued to work hard for Marquis Ashan who controlled the land. On the day she got married, she had to let Marquis Ashan exercise the right of first night. Now she was selected by Hua Yun and told that she could become a
Princess. Even though this princess is fake, she can still enjoy the glory and wealth, and can still call slaves and maids. How could she not agree?
Being selected by Huayun, this Byzantine girl is naturally not only outstanding in appearance, she is also very talented in language. In just one month, she has been able to speak fluent Chinese, which is very important. Because Wang Yufeng is a native
As a child who grew up in the Central Plains, if you don't even speak Chinese fluently, you will be easily spotted by others.
In order to make her pretend to be more like her, Hua Yun also arranged for her to live with Wang Yufeng for more than ten days. Of course, Hua Yun could not tell her that the beauty opposite was her fake partner. He only told her that she was an example for her to learn from.
. Another half month passed. Except for the big difference in appearance, this Byzantine girl already looked exactly like a person who had lived in the Han Dynasty for many years.
And on this day, Hua Yun personally took her to the son-in-law selection meeting.
