Chapter 15
night.

It's cold.

Kunning Palace.

Yang Reform hugged Empress Zhou's body. She had just had a fierce battle and was cuddling with her to talk love.

"Queen, your body is becoming more and more plump, much plumper than before."

"Where? Has it become plump? Why don't I know?" The queen pretended not to know.

"Of course it's here, where else?" After speaking, Yang Reform touched the queen's buttocks.The queen screamed.Then he turned over and got into trouble with Yang Reform.Yang Reform took the opportunity to grope randomly and take advantage of it.

After playing around for a while, Yang Reform said, "Queen, I have a discussion with you."

Seeing Yang Reform's serious words, Queen Zhou stopped messing around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Queen, I'm thinking about doing a business for you tomorrow so that I can get you some personal money, what do you think?"

"Your own money? Your majesty, why is this?" The queen asked in puzzlement. If it was an ordinary family or a wealthy family, it would be very difficult to find a few servants, open a shop, or buy a few acres of land for private use. Interesting, but, as the empress of the Ming Dynasty, who is the mother of the world, she also wants to spend her own money?Who will believe this?Are you afraid of being laughed at by others?The Ming Dynasty might not be able to lose face like this.

"Cough...hehe, that's how it is. I'm thinking about it. Now that the country's affairs are difficult, the household department also asks for money from my internal funds all day long. Therefore, I'm afraid that the internal funds are coming in less and leaving more. I'm afraid you and I will live in poverty in the future. So, I thought, let’s get you a business, so that you can be richer, and you can give some money to the people below, so that you won’t be in short supply, what do you think?”

"This, Your Majesty, aren't you the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Wealthy all over the world? This, it seems... there is a disrespectful law!" The queen still expressed her inner thoughts. If the news of the queen's business spread, the queen might be The target of the attack of the ministers, the ministers will happily run over and "slap" the face, and maybe even the queen's seat will not be stable.

"Well, you don't need to come forward, let your father or your brother come forward, just find a few servants to be the shopkeeper, and find a reliable person to manage the accounts, hehe... I heard that your father is very capable of collecting money , So, I want my father-in-law to collect some money to make up for the shortfall in the internal funds, you know, I have worked very hard as the emperor, and I am a 'pay slave'..."

To be honest, Yang Reform's impression of his father-in-law, Empress Zhou's father, comes from certain legends in later generations, and it is also related to Chen Yuanyuan. According to legend, the empress's father spent 20 taels of silver to buy Chen Yuanyuan and send it to the palace, so , Yang Reform felt that this guy had the ability to make money, so he thought he should come forward to make money.

However, Yang Reform also checked some information, and said that Concubine Tian's family members did it. Anyway, this matter was related to foreign relatives.

Yang Reform plans to organize a group of foreign relatives to brush up the "Jiangnan copy" of the Ming Dynasty scholar-officials' stronghold, hoping to scrape some money from the scholar-bureaucrats through the hands of foreign relatives every year.Legend has it that there are quite a few domineering foreign relatives, and it happens that they can be used to punish those Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats.Of course, the bridle is for these foreign relatives.That's why Yang Reform and Queen Zhou talked about it.

"But, here, Your Majesty...do you really want to do this? Also, why does Your Majesty call himself a 'Pay Slave'? If it is spread like this, it will lose the face of the royal family. Your Majesty, don't give up on yourself like this again." Queen Zhou comforted and educated Chongzhen Road.

"Hehe... oh, queen, I know, I will pay attention to it in the future, well, find a time, you let the old man enter the palace..." Yang reformed his thoughts back to the 21st century, this house slave, card slave, Car slave, XX slave, it really is a world of slaves!I also thought that when I came to the Ming Dynasty, I transformed into Chongzhen and became the emperor, but I still couldn't escape the fate of slaves, slaves!It is the best portrayal of myself at present. I am afraid that I will not be able to take off this hat in the past few years.I also thought that in the 21st century, even if the house slave does not repay the mortgage, the most he can do is to take back the house. If he cannot pay the wages on time, what is waiting for him is not the summons and judgment of the court, but the rope on the coal mountain..., Yang Reform was speechless.

……

On the second day, Yang Reform took a late night's sleep and exercised too intensely at night, so he had to regain his senses during the day.Yang Reform got up, dressed, washed, and after eating, around ten o'clock, Empress Zhou's father came.It seems that the queen is still very positive about this matter.

Royal Garden.

Wan Chunting.

"I kowtow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Empress Zhou's father knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yang Reform.

Although Yang Reform has always looked down upon this ceremony of kowtow, thinking that it is a product of castrated people's personality and dignity, and it also comes with a halo of mental retardation, but if someone else kowtows to him, it is "reluctant", and there is no need to kowtow to others anyway. So, just make do with it, without any heat-headed, hot-blooded youth, abolish this kowtow ceremony once.

"My father-in-law, get up soon, the family doesn't need to have so many rules." Yang Reformed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." The queen's father was so happy that he got up immediately.I thought to myself, why does His Majesty treat me so well this time and call me Laozhangren?I have never been so amiable before!
"My father-in-law, come and sit down, I have something to discuss with my father-in-law today."

"Yes, Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty." The queen's father sat down on the small stool opposite Yang Reform.As for whether it was the legendary half-ass stool, Yang Reform was not interested in knowing.

"My father-in-law, what interesting rumors have you heard in the capital recently?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the most discussed topic in this capital is His Majesty's recruitment of sea warriors. Everyone in the world admires His Majesty!"

"My father-in-law, you don't need to flatter me. Seriously, don't make such vain things. I don't have time to listen to such nonsense. I have been in the Forbidden City for a long time, and things outside are not so true, so I think Understand the situation outside through your eyes and ears." Yang Reform did not come to listen to the nonsense of the Queen's father.You can find someone in the Forbidden City to talk nonsense like this for days and nights.

"Your Majesty, I understand...Returning to Your Majesty, apart from the matter of His Majesty's recruitment of warriors to go to sea, there is also the matter of the emperor's 200 million taels of silver. They all say that Your Majesty is a holy king...This is amazing. It's not that I'm flattering you, it's a real thing... Then there's the case of Wei Ni. Although most of them praised His Majesty for his kindness, there were also those who were disrespectful to His Majesty, saying that the thieves should be eliminated instead of leaving a lot, especially the troubled Wei Rebellion has yet to subdue the law..." At this point, the empress's father glanced at the emperor with his eyes and found that there was nothing unusual about the emperor, so he dared to speak again.

Yang Reform thought to himself, Wei Ni?bane?Fufa?Hehe, it seems that many of the elite scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty wanted Wei Zhongxian to die quickly!It's a pity that I'm going to regard Wei Zhongxian's [-]-year-old as the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats, especially the heads of the Donglin Party.Hang without using.He never intended to kill Wei Zhongxian.

You know, the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty are different from other dynasties. They typically rely on imperial power and are the emperor's domestic slaves. They can't do anything without the emperor. Take the imperial decree and pass on a word of mouth, and Wei Zhongxian can be killed.

However, this Wei Zhongxian is really not a good thing. Chongzhen hated him so much that he couldn't get rid of his hatred even if he poked his corpse.If no one is playing tricks, even if the ancient medical technology is underdeveloped, the premature mortality rate will not be as high as [-]%.It can be seen how much Chongzhen hated Wei Zhongxian, but now that Yang Reform is Chongzhen, the hatred for these memories is not so strong.The attitude towards this matter has also changed a lot.

History is so strange. If Wei Zhongxian hadn't played tricks, the "mortality rate" of Xizong's son's shrine would not have reached [-]%, and it would not be Chongzhen's turn to be emperor.

"My father-in-law, what do you think of the 200 million taels of military pay?" Yang Reform interjected, interrupting the Queen's father's endless "report".

"Uh, back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that His Majesty's 200 million taels of military pay is worth it, and it was paid in a timely manner. Thinking about Xuan, Da, Ji, and Liao, some of them haven't paid their military salaries for a few months, and some of them have been in arrears for several years. There is no military salary here." , not to mention that there are still young and old in the family to support, even myself, I am afraid that I can’t eat enough and don’t wear warm clothes, so how can I have the fighting power to hold a knife and a gun?” The queen’s father said so.

Yang Reform didn't expect that the empress's father could speak well and had some knowledge, so he smiled and said: "Hehe, the old man speaks well, yes, there is no military salary here, and the sergeants themselves can't eat enough, and they can't wear warm clothes. There are also wives and children to support. How can we work hard and fight desperately?"

The Queen's father smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right, what he said is true."

"My father-in-law, I'm looking for you today, and I need you to do something." Yang Reformed

"What's the matter? Your Majesty, please tell me, I will definitely do it."

"It's like this. A few days ago, I got a secret. I thought it was a bit interesting and I could make some money. I felt that the gain was not worth the loss if I used it myself. Money is tight in my palace. My father-in-law knows it. It is inevitable that I will be in short supply, and I don't want the queen to suffer with me, so I decided to give this thing to the queen as the queen's own money. In the future, the queen will have a lot of money to reward, so as not to lose the face of the royal family. You are the queen My biological father, I can trust you, I will entrust this matter to you, you can find someone reliable to manage this matter, you can get [-]% of the money you get, and the rest will go to the queen, the queen, Send someone to oversee the finances. What do you think?"

The queen's father was already in a daze.I can't get back to the taste for a long time.What's wrong?wrong!its not right!Why does the empress of the Ming Dynasty have to run her own business?Is it okay to spread the word? Once the big weapon of "competing for profit with the people" comes out, I am afraid that even the queen will not have to do it.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! Your Majesty... the empress is the mother of the world, and her mother honors the world, how can she do such a lowly job?" The empress' father was so frightened that he thought the emperor was dissatisfied with his daughter , ready to get rid of the queen, lay down on the ground and kowtowed, and bowed again.

"Hey...cough... old man, didn't I tell you? I asked you to find a few reliable people to be the shopkeeper and run the business, and you didn't let the queen do the business. You don't understand this? Get up, get up "Yang Reform didn't expect the old man to make such a big commotion, and he was taken aback.

"This...Your Majesty, is this really going to be done like this? I understand the truth, but if the courtiers find out about this queen's lowly business, she will have to make a fuss. Then..." The queen My father is in a dilemma, one is the emperor's request, and the other is afraid that others will attack the queen. If the empress is abolished, he will be the head of the country.Naturally he refused.

"Ah~! Actually, old man, I won't hide it from you. In fact, I have found someone to manage this private business, and I don't see who dares to make a word. We officials in the Ming Dynasty, no one will manage it. Order something, right? It’s nothing, I’ll take care of things for you, of course, this, the queen’s property, absolutely can’t use the queen’s signboard, and it has nothing to do with the queen. Isn’t it? You are the queen’s biological father, you can trust it, so I just handed it over to you, if someone else, I don't feel at ease, I'm afraid he'll steal the queen's money..."

With Yang Reform's explanation in this way, the queen's father believed most of it. With the emperor in his pocket, who should he be afraid of?Besides, in our Ming Dynasty, what does the official do not manage?Just relying on that salary, wouldn't he starve to death?Then Hai Rui's eating two taels of meat became "news" in the Ming Dynasty.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I understand that I will definitely send someone to manage the business well, and I will not use the queen's banner, and I will not discredit the queen. This matter has nothing to do with the queen. It is handled by the minister alone, and I will definitely not be greedy for the queen. The money." The queen's father made a promise.

Yang Reform did not expect that the old man was interesting, he knew how to avoid risks, and took the matter on his shoulders. If he got the money, he would return it to the queen. In the future, if someone attacked the queen with this matter, he would take it on his shoulders, and it had nothing to do with the queen.As long as the queen does not fall, others will have nothing to do with him.
