Empress Xu gave instructions and hurriedly entered the delivery room. Although Xu Jingchang was anxious, he had little experience and knew that it was useless to have so many people there, so he could only stay outside.
Not long after, the wife's painful voice could be heard intermittently from inside, which suddenly grabbed Xu Jingchang's heart.
He couldn't wait to walk over and wanted to look into the room, but there were two women blocking him there.
"Dong Guo, please don't rush into me. It's better to wait."
Helpless, Xu Jingchang stepped back and sat down on the stone bench in the yard, looking up at the grape trellis above his head.
Irritated, anxious, worried, and frightened... Duke Dingguo, who had always been as calm as water, was now as panicked as an inexperienced boy.
Sit down, sit down again, like a restless top.
In fact, it didn't take long, only about half an hour. Xu Jingchang was already sweating on his forehead and panting. At this time, there were footsteps coming outside the door in a hurry.
Huang Guan rushed in.
"How is it? Has it been born yet?"
Xu Jingchang spread his hands and said, "Old Taishan, wait a moment, the Queen is inside!"
Upon hearing this, Huang Guan did not dare to rush and sat down quickly. He clenched his fists, his nails had turned pale white, gritted his teeth, and was worried.
The girl's screams seemed to bite him in the heart, making him bleed.
At that moment, Huang Guan regretted it. Maybe it would be better if he didn't let the girl get married, so he wouldn't have to suffer this crime.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and there was still no results in the delivery room. More and more people were getting up to join in the fun... Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhou Wang Zhu Ju, Shu Wang Zhu Chun... These people came one after another. Xu Jingchang looked at them.
Just upset.
"Why are you joining in the fun?"
Zhu Zhu hurriedly said: "You have no conscience. I am familiar with medical books and proficient in medicine. At this moment, I can help at least!"
Xu Jingchang was startled and immediately grabbed Zhu Xi's arm and exclaimed: "Your Highness, King Zhou, is there anything you can do? Hurry up and tell me!"
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Zhu Zhu, which made him hesitate for a moment, "Let me think about it!"
Another minute passed, and Xu Jingchang was already impatient, so he grabbed Zhu Zhu and said, "Speak, tell me quickly!"
Zhu Xi said helplessly: "I have thought about this again and again, but there is no better way except waiting."
Xu Jingchang was so angry that he wanted to beat him, but at this moment, Zhu Di also came... It was strange for the monarchs and ministers of Peiping, a lot of clan kings, to wait for the birth of a child instead of doing business.
Xu Jingchang had no choice but to walk anxiously with sweat all over his head... He didn't know how long it took, but suddenly a loud cry broke the dull air.
gave birth!
Xu Jingchang rushed towards him at a vigorous pace, but the door was still blocked by two women.
"Dong Guo, wait a moment, wait!"
Xu Jingchang was so anxious that he pushed the door open one after another, but still couldn't get in.
He finally tasted what it was like to live like a year, and every minute and second was torture.
Finally, Queen Xu opened the door. She was sweating and sighed, "It's a son."
At this moment, tears welled up from the corners of Xu Jingchang's eyes.
He rarely calmed down and asked with a trembling voice: "Can I go in and have a look?"
Queen Xu nodded, "Yes, but the time should not be too long. Let your wife have more rest. She is a great contributor to our Xu family."
Xu Jingchang nodded repeatedly and hurried in.
Queen Xu stepped out, and Zhu Di also came up to greet her, "How is it?"
"Very good, mother and child are safe. The child is very strong! He weighs more than seven kilograms."
When they heard this, everyone was overjoyed.
Huang Guan was the only one who sighed, feeling extremely distressed when he thought of his thin daughter being pregnant with such a big piece of flesh. He had made the girl suffer.
Zhu Di was in a good mood and said with a smile: "This boy is very lucky. I will now canonize him as Marquis of Wuyang."
There was a marquis for the newly born baby. My royal family members present and even the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji were so envious that they drooled. Princes may not be so lucky.
But everyone present had no complaints.
It can only be said that when the credit reaches a certain level, it can really break the rules and suppress any objections.
At this moment in Peiping, from top to bottom, who doesn’t want to think of Xu Jingchang?
Take Zhu Di for example. For the first time, he experienced the feeling of a rich treasury... Xia Yuanji had clearly told him that now the entire Ming Dynasty, including Yingtian and Peiping, could use 20 million taels of money.
Your Majesty can do something, but there is a prerequisite, that is, don't lose.
Otherwise, the factories and wharf restaurants that had just started might have lost their business due to defeat, or even lost their money. At that time, it would be hard to save them.
It was a rare occasion for Zhu Di to follow the good example and say nothing else.
Anyway, with so much money, if he can't win, he will be useless.
In fact, the worries of these civil and military ministers are completely unnecessary.
Don’t forget, the one who is best at defeating the strong with the weak is me!
Relying on a small corner of the country, I successfully defeated Jingnan and conquered the world.
Now we have people, there is no shortage of elite soldiers and generals, and we have prepared money and food to this extent. If we are still defeated, I will simply abdicate in favor of talents.
Zhu Di was like this, not to mention the following vassal kings. The property of Han King Zhu Gaoxu increased by more than 50%. Zhu Gaosui also made a small increase by investing in the banks of various kings.
As for the other vassal kings, they all also experienced the feeling of making money every day.
Although Xu Jingchang robbed their palace, took away their guards, and forced them to go to school, which made them miserable... But it must be admitted that Xu Jingchang really brought them great wealth.
How should I put it, Xu Jingchang is quite annoying. He is definitely not a friend, but if you treat him as an enemy, you are seeking death.
I just hope that after Xu Jingchang becomes a father, he can be more honest and kind. In this case, we all can make a fortune together, hello to me and hello to everyone.
We wish you to be a prince and a prince forever, and to be prosperous and prosperous for generations to come.
Compared with these people, Xia Yuanji was even more secretly happy. He did not come to Xu Jingchang's side to squat, but after learning that Xu Jingchang had a new son, Lao Xia was overjoyed, even happier than he was when he got a son.
In a blink of an eye, he invited Yang Rong, Wu Shan, and several other ministers.
"It's like this. After thinking about it, I feel that Beiping has a lot of finance and taxation and huge potential. It is also the front line facing the grassland, so running Beiping well is extremely important. It is related to the peace of the world and the eternal foundation of Ming Dynasty. What do you think?"
Yang Rong said hurriedly: "It's true. If you don't go to Peiping, you don't know how vast the north is. If you don't go to Peiping, you don't know how dangerous the north is. In the past few days, Xianguan went to Yanshan and looked all the way. It's vast and boundless. If the imperial court can't stabilize the north,
, the Ming Dynasty will never have peace."
Xia Yuanji nodded repeatedly, "I see it that way too. The previous time His Majesty planned to move the capital, I thought it would cost a lot and be inconvenient. But now, Peiping's finances and taxes are enough to support hundreds of thousands of people. There is also a Tianjin port, which makes the exchange of materials convenient.
, it is not difficult to communicate with the southern merchant ships. I want to submit a letter to upgrade the original northern parallel department to Beijing. Follow the example of Futian and set up six ministries and nine ministers... As for the specific number of officials, it can be discussed. In this way, the north and the south will be dealt with together.
It will definitely be a lot more convenient. What do you think?"
When these people heard this, they were all moved.
Xia Yuanji is mentioning moving the capital again!
At this time, Lao Xia wanted to fish in troubled waters, and he fished a whale.
Wu Shan pondered and said: "Xia Shangshu, your proposal is very good, but if the two capitals of the north and the south are generally the same, it will inevitably cause a quarrel between the two parties. What should we do then?"
Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "Wu Tongzheng is concerned about this. What do you think? Yingtian's side should follow the rules step by step... Peking's side should focus on finance and taxation. For example, the Ministry of Commerce has been established, and there should also be departments responsible for finance and taxation.
.Also, there are a lot of affairs here with foreign vassals, and new ministries need to be established... In short, the north and south have different priorities, and both sides are serving the Ming Dynasty. What do you think?"
When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another. Congratulations to Xia Shangshu!
Taking advantage of this opportunity to form the establishment of Erjing, we will be able to compete with Yingtian.
The group of people quickly reached an agreement... As for Xu Jingchang, he was completely idle at the moment. He didn't think about anything. He just cooked meals for his wife every day and helped her recover.
Then when I have some free time, I take a look at my precious son.
How did you say something?
If the child is ugly, don't throw it away in a hurry. Wait and look at it after a while... This is so true. After all, if you put your hands in water for a few hours, they will become wrinkled. Children have soaked them for several times.
Month, you have to give people time to recover.
Isn't that right? After only three days, the little guy's skin has improved, white, shiny, full of elasticity... and his facial features have also become better-looking.
Chubby, pink and tender...it has the advantages of Xu Jingchang and the characteristics of Huang Yunfang. It is a perfect combination.
Every time Xu Jingchang sees his son, he feels like he has no regrets in his life.
"The government and the world are just passing smoke, drifting clouds, drifting away with the wind, and are of no importance." Xu Jingchang lamented that his family business was perfect, and if he had more time to go fishing and listen to music, it would be complete.
Just when he was indulging in family happiness, Jian Ying asked to see him.
"You are here? What official position do you hold now?"
Jian Ying said hurriedly: "I have just been promoted to Chief Envoy of Peking, and I am responsible for tax collection."
Xu Jingchang nodded, "Not bad, the official position is not about the size, the key is to be outstanding. Your father is a selfless man, so he may not be willing to promote you. If you come to my side more often, what kind of merit do you have? If I don't suppress it, what reward should I give you?
I’ll give you whatever I want, don’t worry.”
Jian Ying hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you so much, Duke Dingguo."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say, and you deserve it."
Jian Ying paused for a moment, then bowed again and said: "Dong Guo, my father has sent a letter. He found that the finances and taxes in Beiping have increased sharply, and he was afraid that Shangshu Xia and others would have the idea of moving the capital. He wanted to ask Duke Ding.
, what do you mean?”
Xu Jingchang was startled, "You want to move the capital? The time is not yet ripe!"
