Chapter 266
"Stay honest outside, just wait to hold the baby!"

Empress Xu ordered, and then hurried into the delivery room.Although Xu Jingchang was in a hurry, firstly he had no experience, and secondly he knew that it was useless to have too many people, so he had to stay outside.

Not long after, the madam's painful voice came out intermittently from inside, which grabbed Xu Jingchang's heart all at once.

He couldn't wait to come over and wanted to look into the room, but there were two women blocking him.

"Ding Guogong, don't collide, just wait."

Helpless, Xu Jingchang stepped back, sat down on the stone bench in the yard, and looked up at the grape trellis above his head.

Irritable, anxious, worried, terrified... Duke Ding, who was always as calm as water, was panicking like a young boy who didn't know much about the world.

Sit up, sit down again, with a restless spinning top.

In fact, the time was not long, only about half an hour, Xu Jingchang was already sweating on his brow and out of breath.At this moment, there were footsteps outside the door, coming in a hurry.

Huang Guan rushed in.

"How? Was it born?"

Xu Jingchang spread his hands, "Lao Taishan, wait a moment, the empress is inside!"

Hearing this, Huang Guan didn't dare to rush, and sat down quickly, but clenched his fists tightly, his nails had turned pale white, he gritted his teeth, and hung his heart.

The girl yelled loudly, as if biting his heart, she was about to bleed.

For a moment, Huang Guan regretted it, maybe it would be better not to let the girl get married, so he wouldn't have to suffer this crime.

It was another quarter of an hour, and there was still no result in the delivery room. There were indeed more and more people joining in the fun...Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, Zhou Wang Zhu Xi, Shu Wang Zhu Chun... These people came one after another, Xu Jingchang looked at them Just worry.

"What are you doing to join in the fun?"

Zhu Huan hurriedly said: "You have no conscience. I am familiar with medical books and proficient in medicine. At this juncture, I can help at least!"

Startled, Xu Jingchang immediately grabbed Zhu Xi's arm and exclaimed, "His Royal Highness, what can you do? Tell me quickly!"

The eyes of the big guy fell on Zhu Wei instantly, which made this man hesitate for a moment, "Let me think about it!"

Another minute passed, and Xu Jingchang was already impatient, so he grabbed Zhu Wei, "Say, tell me!"

Zhu Su said helplessly: "I've thought about this over and over again, and there is no better way than to wait."

Xu Jingchang was so angry that he wanted to beat him up. At this moment, Zhu Di also came... Beiping's monarchs and ministers, a lot of clan kings, did not do business, and ran away to wait for a child to be born, which is also strange.

Xu Jingchang had no choice but to sweat and walk anxiously... I don't know how long it took before a loud cry broke the dull air.

gave birth!

Xu Jingchang rushed over with a stride, but the door was still firmly blocked by two women.

"Dinggong, wait a moment, wait!"

Xu Jingchang was so anxious that he pushed the door one after another, but he still couldn't get in.

He has tasted how life feels like a year, every minute and every second is suffering.

Finally, Empress Xu pushed open the door, and she let out a sigh of relief, "It's a son."

At this moment, tears welled up from the corners of Xu Jingchang's eyes.

It was rare for him to calm down, and he asked in a trembling voice, "Can I go in and have a look?"

Empress Xu nodded, "Yes, but don't take too long, let your daughter-in-law rest more, she is a great hero of our Xu family."

Xu Jingchang nodded repeatedly, and hurried in.

Empress Xu stepped out, and Zhu Di also came up to meet her, "How is it?"

"Very good, mother and child are safe. The child is strong! It weighs more than seven catties."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

Only Huang Guan sighed, thinking that his thin daughter was pregnant with such a big piece of flesh, he felt so distressed, and let the girl suffer.

Zhu Di was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "This kid is a lucky one, and I canonize him as Marquis of Wuyang now."

For the newborn baby, there was the Marquis, my clan's children present, and even the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji were so envious that they were drooling.Even the prince may not have this blessing.

But everyone present had no complaints.

It can only be said that the credit has reached a certain level, and it can really break the rules and suppress any opposing voices.

At this moment in Beiping, from top to bottom, who doesn't want to think of Xu Jingchang?
Take Zhu Di as an example. For the first time, he experienced the feeling of a full treasury... Xia Yuanji had already told him clearly that now the entire Ming Dynasty, including Yingtian and Beiping, had 2000 million taels of money at his disposal.

Your Majesty can do things, but there is one prerequisite, that is, don't lose.

Otherwise, the fledgling factories and those wharf restaurants may lose their business due to defeat in the war, or even lose their money.At that time, it will be impossible to save the gods.

It was a rare time that Zhu Di was so kind and did not say anything else this time.

Anyway, with so much money, if he can't win, he is a waste.

In fact, the worries of these civil and military ministers are completely superfluous.

Don't forget, the one who is best at defeating the strong with the weak is Zhen!

Relying on a small corner of the land, Jing Nan succeeded and took down the world.

Now that there are people, there is no shortage of elite soldiers and generals, and money and food have been prepared to this level, if they are still defeated, I will simply abdicate and let the sages forget about it.

Zhu Di is like this, not to mention the vassal kings below, the property of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu has increased by more than [-]%.Zhu Gaosui also made a small increase by investing in the banks of the kings.

As for the rest of the feudal lords, they all felt the feeling of making money every day.

Although Xu Jingchang robbed their palace, took away their guards, and forced them to go to school, tossing them a lot... But it must be admitted that Xu Jingchang has indeed brought them great wealth.

How should I put it, Xu Jingchang is quite annoying, he is definitely not a friend, but if you want to treat him as an enemy, you are looking for death.

I just hope that after Xu Jingchang becomes a father, he can be more honest and kind. In this case, everyone will make a fortune together. Hello, hello, hello everyone.

We wish you a prince forever, rich and noble forever.

Compared with these people, Xia Yuanji was more ecstatic. He didn't come to Xu Jingchang's side to squat, but after learning about the addition of Xu's mansion, old Xia was overjoyed, even happier than he himself had 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 finances and taxes and has great potential. It is also the front line facing the grassland. It is extremely important to run Beiping well. It is related to the peace of the world and the eternal foundation of Ming Dynasty. What do you think?"

Yang Rong hurriedly said: "It's true. If you don't go to Beiping, you don't know the vastness of the north. If you don't go to Beiping, you don't know the danger of the north. These days, I went to Yanshan and watched it all the way. , Ming Dynasty will never have a peaceful day.”

Xia Yuanji nodded again and again, "I think so too. His Majesty wanted to move the capital before. I thought it would cost a lot and it would be inconvenient. But now, the finances and taxes in Beiping are enough to support hundreds of thousands of people. There is also Tianjin Port, which is convenient for material exchanges. , It is not difficult to communicate with the southern merchant ships. I want to write a letter to upgrade the original Northern Parallel Department to Beijing. Follow the example of Tiantian and set up six departments 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 must be much more convenient. What do you think?"

When these people heard it, they were all moved.

Xia Yuanji is mentioning moving the capital again!

At such a time, Lao Xia wanted to fish in troubled waters, and he still caught a whale.

Wu Shan pondered: "Xia Shangshu, your proposal is very good, but if the two capitals in the north and the south are generally the same, it will inevitably cause quarrels between the two sides. What should we do then?"

Xia Yuanji said with a smile: "Wu Tongzheng is worried about it. Look at this, Yingtian, step by step... Beiping should focus on finance and taxation. For example, the Ministry of Commerce has been established, and there must be departments responsible for finance and taxation. .Also, there are a lot of dealings with foreign vassals here, and a new department needs to be established...In short, the north and the south have different priorities, and both sides are serving Ming Dynasty. What do you think?"

When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another. Xia Shangshu has a good opinion!

Just taking advantage of this opportunity to form the establishment of the second capital, we are enough to compete with Ying Tian.

This group of people quickly reached a consensus... Besides, Xu Jingchang, he is completely empty at the moment, thinking about nothing, just cooking for his wife every day and helping her recover.

Then take a look at your baby son when you are free.

How do you say something?
If the child is ugly, don't rush to throw it away, wait until a few days to see... This is really true, after all, after soaking your hands in water for a few hours, they will become wrinkled. Month, you have to give people a recovery time.

Isn't that right, after only three days, the little guy's skin has become better, fair, shiny, and full of elasticity... His facial features have also become better looking.

Plump, pink and tender... It has both Xu Jingchang's advantages and Huang Yunfang's characteristics, which is a perfect combination.

Every time Xu Jingchang sees his son, he feels that he has no regrets in this life.

"What government, what the world, are just passing clouds, floating clouds, go with the wind, insignificant." Xu Jingchang sighed deeply, the family business is complete, and if you have some time, you can go fishing and listen to music, but it will 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 hurriedly said: "I have just been promoted to be the chief envoy of Beiping, and my experience is to be in charge of tax collection."

Xu Jingchang nodded, "It's not bad. It's not about the size of the official position. The key is to be outstanding. Your father is stern and selfless, so he may not be willing to promote you. You come to my side more often. What credit do you have? I won't hold you back. What reward should I give you?" I'll give you whatever, don't worry."

Jian Ying hurriedly bowed, "Thank you, Duke Ding."

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "It's easy to say, and you deserve it."

Jian Ying paused, then bowed again and said, "Dinggong, my father has sent a letter. He found that the financial and taxation in Beiping has increased sharply. He is afraid that Xia Shangshu and the others will have the idea of ​​​​moving the capital. He wants to ask Dingguo. , what do you mean?"

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, "Moving the capital? The time is not ripe yet!"
