However, Wu Shigong not only had a huge income, but also had to make huge expenditures. For example: the cultivation of improved seeds, the collection and improvement of new high-yielding crops (corn, potatoes, etc.), the development of various types of water-driven machine tools, and the development of water-driven machinery.
Research on new smelting methods, development and construction of new ships, etc.
These industries cost a lot of money, take a long time to research, require a lot of high-level talents, are not easy to produce results, but are quite important. Because the finances of the Daping Dynasty were relatively tight, they could not invest too much, so Wu Shigong invested a huge amount of his private property. The only comparison
What is worth it is that if these industries bear fruit, Wu Shigong will soon recover his investment.
However, there are always exceptions to everything, such as steam engines. Now the craftsmen of the Daping Dynasty are still confused when faced with Wu Shigong's idea. Wu Shigong can only invest in research funds while comforting them to take their time. To be honest, Wu Shigong also
Even though he knew that the steam engine was powerful and famous, what exactly was it? He still didn't know anything about it.
Wu Shigong looked at the large stack of memorials that had not yet been annotated, and couldn't help but have a headache. In this era, centralization of power is very powerful, and there are indeed too many trivial matters to manage. For example: the prisoner's trial must be completed.
The emperor's ink pen annotation. And these trivial matters also make Wu Shigong expend a lot of energy now.
Wu Shigong rubbed his chin and thought: "In the future government structure, the judiciary must also be independent, and independent courts and procuratorates should be established to try cases. This will not only separate the powers of officials, but also allow local officials to
The energy is devoted to people's livelihood and economic development, which is also a reference to modern society. But how should this institution be set up? You have to think about it carefully. In the setting up of the court institution after the founding ceremony,
Add this part of the content."
At this moment, Qiong Niang walked in with supper. She saw Wu Shigong lying down and resting. She put the tray on the small table aside, then climbed onto the bed and massaged Wu Shigong's temples.
.
Wu Shigong closed his eyes and enjoyed it. While smelling the fragrance of Qiong Niang, he asked with a smile: "You can rest so late at night from now on! Don't worry about me. Your own health is important. Have the children rested?"
"Go to bed early!" Qiong Niang said with a smile while massaging Wu Shigong, "They won't go to school these days. They are all very happy. They play with each other every day and they are crazy. Your Majesty, you should also take time to take care of it.
Never mind them. Besides...and this Forbidden City is too big."
"Hahaha!" Wu Shigong couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I'll give them a holiday until the Chinese New Year. Don't worry! After the holiday, I will take care of these naughty boys."
In order to prepare for the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, Wu Shigong's children's classes were temporarily suspended. This made those children herd sheep. They played different games in the palace every day and were very happy.
"Your Majesty! I am my concubine... Hee hee... I have something I want you to agree to." Qiong Niang was elated when she thought that she could call herself "my concubine" because her status suddenly became noble.
Wu Shigong immediately smiled and opened his eyes. He joked: "I didn't expect that my little Qiongqiong has also turned bad. I knew you would not come to serve me if you were fine. It seems that I am old and yellow."
"Grrrr!" Qiong Niang also laughed so hard that her whole body trembled, "Isn't this concubine just thinking about my sisters? Your Majesty, you are so bad! I should be the concubine who is old and beautiful!"
"No way! Then who is that beautiful little sister behind me?" Wu Shigong said jokingly.
…
After a while, Qiong Niang's eyes were blurred, and she whispered softly: "Your Majesty! I want to send a letter to my family, asking them to come to the capital to meet me." After saying this, Qiong Niang said.
His eyes widened and he looked at Wu Shigong with some worry.
Unexpectedly, Wu Shigong didn't take Qiong Niang's words seriously at all. He kissed Qiong Niang's lips and said with a smile: "If you want to write a letter, just write, and if you want them to come, come. I will also give them the rewards they deserve.
Earn enough face for my little Qiongqiong. Now you are also of noble status. It is also their honor for them to be able to join this family."
Upon hearing this, Qiong Niang felt extremely moved. Her beautiful nose twitched a few times, and then she lay in Wu Shigong's arms and burst into tears.
Qiong Niang's life experience is relatively tragic, so her identity has been kept secret from the outside world, and even her family has not contacted her for more than ten years. But this time Qiong Niang also has the status of a royal concubine, and of course she wants to show off in front of her family
However, Qiongniang was worried that Wu Shigong would not agree to her marriage recognition because of the loss of royal dignity. So when she heard Wu Shigong's promise today, she felt her husband's favor. So she burst into tears with happiness.
Wu Shigong stroked Qiong Niang's hair, and was filled with emotions in his heart. Although he braved the battlefield to fight, and now he is working hard to manage the government affairs. It seems bitter, tiring and dangerous, but for the happiness of his family, all this is
It's worth it.
After crying for a while, Qiong Niang stopped crying and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask of you!"
"Say it!" Wu Shigong smiled and touched Qiong Niang's little head again.
"I have several other children who were captured by the Tatars. If I find them, I want to treat them well," Qiongniang said.
"That's what it should be." Wu Shigong nodded and said, "Qi County Magistrate is also a hero, and his heirs will take it to heart. I will ask Uncle Yongli to care about this matter, and I will send it back to you as soon as I have any news."
After saying this, Wu Shigong suddenly felt that Qiong Niang in his arms had become hot.
But at this moment, two more people came in at the door of the house, it was Zhu Qilan and her maid Xiuer. When she saw Wu Shigong and Qiong Niang were making love to each other, and Qiong Niang had tears on her face, Zhu Qilan burst into tears.
She immediately screamed: "Your Majesty! You bullied Sister Qiongniang again. You also bullied Lan'er. Lan'er is angry." Although Zhu Qilan said so, she threw herself into Wu Shigong's arms without hesitation.
She squeezed in between Wu Shigong and Qiong Niang.
Wu Shigong was also confused by his concubine, who always had a childish temper and was very playful. He also hugged Zhu Qilan, but looked at Xiu'er who was still standing in confusion. Xiu'er could only feel embarrassed.
He smiled at Wu Shigong, then blessed him and bowed.
"Why did you two run out in the middle of the night?" Wu Shigong asked.
"Because the emperor treats Lan'er badly! The emperor's actions are unfair! Lan'er wants to ask the emperor for an explanation." Zhu Qilan became more and more confident as she spoke. That is to say, Wu Shigong has always been tolerant to his wives and concubines. In this case, don't say that it is the concubine who is treating Lan'er badly.
The emperor said that even the concubines of ordinary wealthy families would not dare to say such outrageous things to their husbands. (To be continued...)
