Emperor Hongzhi was thinking about the major events that would affect the Ming Dynasty in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
Emperor Hongzhi could not make an easy decision on such a far-reaching event.
Because according to the content of Liu Yuan's memorial, if Liu Yuan really followed what he said, the Ming Dynasty might spend tens of millions of taels of silver every year.
If it is true, as Liu Jin said, that during the Little Ice Age, various disasters and famines occurred frequently, tens of millions of taels of silver would be worth it.
But if these things don't happen, the investment of tens of millions of taels of silver may be meaningless, and it will definitely be strongly opposed by many ministers, especially the conservative officials.
"Father~"
At this time, Princess Nanyang walked in, followed by the palace maid carrying a bowl of ginseng soup.
"Haha, it's Nanyang!"
Seeing the Nanyang Princess, Emperor Hongzhi's mood became very good, and he immediately laughed happily.
"Father, please drink the ginseng soup that Ming people are stewing right now."
Nanyang ordered people to bring the ginseng soup and said.
"Okay, okay~"
Emperor Hongzhi took the ginseng soup and drank it in one gulp.
Since all of Liaodong was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, ginseng can be easily obtained. Unlike in the past, ginseng often had to be obtained from the Jurchens.
The quantity is limited and the price is very high, so the habit of using ginseng is not popular.
But now the rich and powerful people in Beijing and Tianjin have gradually developed the habit of drinking ginseng soup. Ginseng can replenish qi, restore pulse and strengthen the lungs, and it is still very effective to drink some ginseng soup regularly.
beneficial.
Of course, this is also because the current ginseng production is large and the price is cheaper than before, especially the ginseng from Huanghuangzhou, the price is even cheaper.
"Nanyang, how was your conversation with Liu Qing?"
After Emperor Hongzhi finished drinking the ginseng soup, he looked at Nanyang with a smile and asked about her and Liu Qing.
I don't know what Nanyang thinks, but she actually wants to contact Liu Qing first. She often takes the initiative to go to the school to find Liu Qing and Li Yue, and often writes to Liu Qing.
It seems that our relationship is still very good now, we often exchange letters, and we often go to watch football games together, and the three of us are together.
"Father~"
After hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said, Princess Nanyang immediately blushed, lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes.
"Haha, okay, okay, Father, I won't ask any questions."
"But if that boy Liu Qing dares to bully you, my father will definitely make the decision for you. When the time comes, Liu Jin will whip him hard."
Emperor Hongzhi understood from the look on his daughter's face that this was a young girl who was in love with her for the first time.
Although he felt a little wronged to his precious daughter and took advantage of Liu Qing, a brat like him, as long as his daughter liked it, everything else didn't matter, it didn't matter.
"Father, he is very good to me and has never bullied me. Don't let his father criticize him."
When Princess Nanyang heard this, she immediately said that she was afraid that Liu Qing would be criticized and whipped.
She had heard from Liu Qing that their family had been extremely strict in their upbringing since they were young. Liu Qing had been punished by standing still and given a ruler and other punishments since he was a child.
"Haha, okay, okay, there is no chance that a female student will be admitted!"
Emperor Hongzhi laughed immediately when he heard this.
"Father, what is going on? Why are you so happy?"
At this time, Zhu Houzhao walked in. Zhu Houzhao, who was already in his thirties, still had a trace of his previous careless look. When he saw his sister, he said: "Nanyang, you are here too."
"Brother~"
"You haven't come to see me for a long time."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao, Nanyang immediately walked over happily and saved one of Zhu Houzhao's arms.
Princess Nanyang is much younger than Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao has doted on her since she was a child. In addition, Zhu Houzhao likes to play very much, so he often takes Princess Nanyang to play with her since she was a child.
The relationship between the two brothers and sisters is very good.
"I am now the chief envoy of Beizhili. There is a big difference between running a province and a government. There are many things to do, and I often go to other places for inspections, so I have much less time to come back."
"I didn't just come back. I heard that you were at Father's house and I came here to find you."
"Hey, these are the dates I brought for you when I went out for inspection this time. They taste very good."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and touched his sister's head. He really doted on this sister. No matter where he went, he would bring something to his sister. Even if there were no specialties to bring, he would still bring something to eat.
Something comes back.
"Thank you, brother~"
Princess Nanyang took the dates first, picked one up to taste, and immediately nodded and said: "It's really sweet and delicious!"
"Haha, that's right."
Zhu Houzhao laughed happily.
Emperor Hongzhi on the side looked at the warm appearance of the brothers and sisters, and he was also smiling.
I only have one wife and these two children.
If she really wanted to marry Nanyang out of town and find someone to marry, she would really be reluctant to do so. She would have to choose a young talent she likes.
"Father, sister, what were you talking about just now? Why are you so happy?"
Then Zhu Houzhao found a chair and sat down very casually.
"You are a person in your thirties, but you are still neither old nor young, and you have no rules."
Seeing Zhu Houzhao still looking careless, Emperor Hongzhi was helpless.
Then he said: "Your sister will be eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year. I am thinking about finding a suitable husband for her."
Emperor Hongzhi did not have the pretense of being an emperor at home. Even when he addressed himself, he said I, not me.
"Ah, I'm about to get married!"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately felt reluctant to leave. Looking at his sister again, he had grown into a big girl without knowing it. In his memory, she seemed to have always been very young.
She is still the little girl who yells about riding on her neck when she goes shopping in the capital, and she is still the slug who cries when criticized casually.
Now I actually say that I want to get married, and I have reached the age where I want to get married.
Thinking that his precious sister was getting married to someone he didn't even know, Zhu Houzhao felt as if he had lost the most important treasure in his heart, and he suddenly became unhappy.
"Father, you must find a good consort for your sister, and you must not let Nanyang suffer any injustice."
Zhu Houzhao felt sour in his heart, but this man had to get married, and the woman had to get married. When she got older, she still had to get married.
Zhu Houzhao's own sons and daughters have also reached the age of marriage. Marrying a daughter did not make Zhu Houzhao so sad. After all, Zhu Houzhao also had many daughters, more than 200 daughters.
Because there were so many daughters, many of them, Zhu Houzhao, couldn't even remember their names correctly. Only a few who were very impressed could remember them.
Sometimes there are too many children and it’s hard to remember.
But this sister is different. There is only one sister. When Zhu Houzhao was a teenager, he played with his sister every day, and he was very affectionate.
"Well, your mother said so too."
"So now we have selected several candidates, one of whom is Liu Jin's youngest son Liu Qing!"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said immediately.
"Ah~"
"Liu Jin's son Liu Qing?"
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately curled his lips and said, "I'm still thinking of marrying my daughter to that boy. Liu Qing is handsome. The key is that he plays football well, which suits me very well."
"Extreme Spiritual Chaos Jue"
"Brother, you also know Liu Qing."
When Princess Nanyang heard this, she suddenly asked in surprise.
"Of course I know."
"When Liu Qing was a child, he wore crotchless pants to play football at home. I happened to go to Liu Jin's home and saw him. I also liked playing football, so I taught him to play football."
"Haha, he admired me at that time. I like this kid very much."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and talked about Liu Qing's past.
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Princess Nanyang immediately covered her mouth and started laughing. The image of Liu Qing playing football in crotchless pants appeared in her mind.
"At that time, I was still thinking about marrying him a daughter when he grows up."
"This man is handsome and handsome. The key is that he has a good personality and likes to play football. He must be in good health."
Zhu Houzhao sighed as he said that time flies so fast and he has grown up all of a sudden.
"Brother~"
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Princess Nanyang immediately became anxious. You want to marry your daughter, what should I do?
"Haha, since you like her as my sister, I definitely won't compete with you."
Zhu Houzhao looked at his sister's anxious look and immediately laughed.
I can't help it, my sister is quite different from me, and my eldest son and daughter are also about the same age as her. They have all grown up together.
"Sister, when are you getting married? I will give you a big gift then."
"Brother, I haven't even written my horoscope yet~"
Princess Nanyang immediately blushed again and lowered her head.
"Ah, my precious sister didn't even get married to this brat and she didn't even know her horoscope. If I look back, I'm going to slap his skin."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he immediately said.
"Your sister said she wanted to talk to Liu Qingxian, just like the young men and women in the new universities, she said she wanted free love."
Emperor Hongzhi looked on and shook his head helplessly.
What kind of love is it? Just talk about it slowly after you get married. With your own will, Liu Jin will not be in trouble, and he will be ready to let his son come to marry Nanyang.
"Love is a big deal. Now that we are married, we can talk about it slowly. You can talk about whatever you want, and you can fall in love freely."
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he curled his lips and said dissatisfied.
"If that kid Liu Qing dares to bully you or betray you."
"Humph, let's see how I deal with him then. I have to expose the fact that he wore crotchless pants when he was a child."
Then Zhu Houzhao also said very fiercely.
"..."
Emperor Hongzhi and Princess Nanyang on the side were immediately speechless.
