Although Liu Mingzhi told Qi Ya to pack his bags and leave the palace immediately, he could not be so casual after all.
After all, there is the noble Empress Dowager Nangong Meng in the palace. Liu Mingzhi wants to move his family out of the palace, how can he not tell her?
In addition, we still need to properly deal with the problems of the eunuchs and maids left in the palace, which will delay the situation for a few days.
The eunuch and the palace maid Liu Mingzhi did not intend to drive away these poor people just because they were moving out. After all, the palace still needed people like them to take care of it.
The Empress Dowager Nangong Meng also needs someone to take care of her. It is simply not possible to have a large harem with only one person to make money.
May 12, the second year of Tailong's reign.
Outside Fu'an Palace in the harem, Liu Mingzhi was rejected by Nangong Meng as usual and was not received by Nangong Meng.
However, the situation has improved after all, because in addition to herself, Nangong Meng also gradually accepted the greetings from sisters Qi Yun and others except the third princess Li Yan.
Listening to the laughter and laughter coming from the palace, Liu Mingzhi clasped his hands on his chest and leaned against the pillars, smiling lightly as he looked at the blue sky above his head, and fell into a daze.
Around three o'clock in the morning, Liu Mingzhi was woken up by the little cutie who jumped into the stomach. Looking at the many beauties and children walking out of Fu'an Palace, Liu Mingzhi patted the cutie's hair and turned towards the palace gate.
Rush in the direction.
Qi Yun, the Queen and others looked at each other, shook their heads with a smile, and followed silently.
May 15th, the second year of Dalong Shengping.
The matter of Young Master Liu and his family moving out of the palace gradually spread, and all the officials became aware of it one after another.
For a time, the Liu Mansion was crowded with people, and the scene of officials trying to persuade them lasted for many days, and then it gradually calmed down.
Xia Gongming, the chief minister of the cabinet and the royal censor, almost pointed at Liu Mingzhi’s nose and scolded Young Master Liu for disrespecting etiquette and law, acting recklessly, and behaving unethically as a king.
Young Master Liu will not argue with Xia Gongming. You can remonstrate as much as you want and scold you as much as you want. I will pretend that I cannot hear you.
Anyway, this young master is determined to take his family back to his old Tongyuan uncle's house to settle down. As long as you don't greet my mother and eighteen generations of ancestors, it doesn't matter if you insult this young master and call him an unprincipled and ignorant king.
.
Even if you yell at me, I will never return to the palace to live.
Helpless Xia Gongming and the officials also saw Liu Dashao's plan to stay out of trouble. After knowing in their hearts that they couldn't resist Liu Dashao, the "faint king" who never followed the rules, they began to think of another way.
After private discussion, he had no choice but to make a three-part agreement with Young Master Liu, requesting that as long as Liu Mingzhi enters the palace on time and goes to the Qinzheng Hall to handle court affairs and does not neglect the government affairs, he will agree to Liu Mingzhi leaving the palace and living there.
Liu Mingzhi agreed without hesitation, and the storm of leaving the palace and settling down gradually came to an end.
The cabinet and the Ten Kings Palace gradually entered the stage of normal operation in the following days.
Liu Mingzhi, except for regular court days when he would accompany his children to the palace to attend court, did not mention how comfortable and unrestrained he lived during the rest of the time.
The days of only dealing with first-class memorials, and occasionally approving second-class memorials, or second-class memorials and second-class memorials on a whim, are simply not fun.
Qi Yun and the other sisters brought their children to the palace every now and then to pay their respects to Nangong Meng. As for the rest of the day, they had no sense of being a queen, a noble concubine or even a concubine.
Rouge and gouache shops, jewelry shops, and ready-to-wear shops in major cities in the capital are places suitable for women. From time to time, you can see them with a group of wealthy women from dignitaries, rich ladies, or ordinary women, because of the rouge and gouache.
Types and effects of chatting and laughing.
For beauties like the Queen, it is completely in line with what the man said after leaving the palace, "Fuck your mother's status."
Having a happy and comfortable life is a good life.
Sisters Xue Bizhu and Huang Lingyi also took charge of Penglai Restaurant again. Compared with their days in the palace, the smiles on the faces of the two sisters were much brighter when they were in the restaurant.
Everyone has lived the life they dreamed of because of Liu Mingzhi’s decision.
Of course, except for the hundreds of officials in the court and the little cuties in the Ten Kings Palace, Liu Chengfeng and the other children of Young Master Liu will have completely different feelings.
May 25, the second year of Dalong's reign.
Haining Hou An Gouer once again led the dragon fleet to set sail with Western envoys and even Western merchants, traveling across the oceans to trade with all countries.
On this tour to the West, An Gouer took his wife Luya with him, but left his daughter Andel in the capital and entrusted his eldest brother and sisters-in-law to take care of him.
After Xiao Daier cried heartbreakingly when parting from her parents, she gradually integrated into the big family of her uncle Liu Mingzhi.
In the Wen'an Hall of the Imperial Palace, Jiang Yuanming, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, walked out of the palace door without any hurry, took the folder handed over by the official of the Ministry of Revenue, looked at it for a few times, frowned slightly and looked at the clerk of the Ministry of household affairs aside.
“Eighteen caravans didn’t arrive before Haininghou set sail? How could there be so many?”
“Your Excellency, Dai, Lu, Jing...these eighteen wealthy merchants are too far away from the capital. It would waste too much time waiting to transport goods to the capital after receiving the imperial decree.
It was only two days before we caught up. Now Dai, Lu... the owners of the eighteen caravans are waiting for the reply from our Ministry of Revenue at the Penglai Restaurant outside the palace to see if there is any other way to solve the problem.
"
Jiang Yuanming thought for a while, then closed the document with a helpless look: "Haining Houdu has postponed the sailing tour to the West for ten days in accordance with the scheduled sailing date of May 15th.
They still haven’t caught up, and it’s no wonder that the court didn’t give them a chance.
But if you don’t have to worry about selling good goods, if you can’t keep up with Western trade, then go to Xinfu, Beifu, and the Western Regions for trade.
I will issue a customs clearance document to them later. You can give it to the owners of these eighteen merchants and ask them to compromise and go to other places to do business.
It is better to earn less than to lose the goods in your hands, and the Silk Road in the Western Regions is now getting smoother and smoother.
Selling goods to the Western Regions may not necessarily result in a huge profit.
They have been given a solution. As for where they want to sell it, it is up to them.
You follow me into the palace, and I go to the palace to open the customs clearance document."
“Yes! Sir, please!”
In the Hall of Qinzheng, the three ministers of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Minister of Rites looked at the documents in their hands with excitement.
“Your Majesty, once the movable type printing technology you mentioned is implemented, it will be a great blessing to all people.”
“Yes, once the price of books drops, the number of children in our Dalong Meng School will increase several times. The movable type printing technology can be said to be of immediate benefit and benefit for the future.
His Majesty is wise and wise, and I admire him."
Liu Mingzhi happily put down the tea cup in his hand: "You can do whatever you think is feasible. The Ministry of Public Affairs will take the lead, the Ministry of Household Affairs will assist, and the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for the implementation.
Within three years, I will see with my own eyes that our great dragon has three to five times more learned men.
I have said that we want to carry out a large-scale education. If this is the case, then we will carry out it thoroughly so that all the children who want to study will have the opportunity to study."
“Your Majesty is wise, long live my emperor.”
“Okay, no need to be polite here, Ministry of Works!”
“The old minister is here!”
“After the modules for movable type printing come out, leave ten sets for me to send to my house.”
“Yes, I obey the order.”
"There's nothing else to do. You can go back to Wen'an Hall to deal with government affairs. I'll go back first."
“Best congratulations to Your Majesty!”
"etc!"
“Your Majesty?”
“Xia Gongming, this old guy, and you old foxes haven’t scolded me lately, have you?”
