I, Jiajing, Emperor Longevity

Chapter 25 My Stupid Son

When he was a teenager in fresh clothes and angry horses, he lived up to his youth and knew how to do it.

Although Jiajing is already half-buried in the soil, his mental age is not that old, and his heart is not old.

Although the scenery of Yuxi Palace is good, but I am used to seeing it, so I want to go out for a walk, see the great rivers and mountains, and see women from various places (cross out) customs.

Sun, moon, mountains and rivers, Daming rivers and mountains, the wind and snow in the north, the spring in the south, the lonely smoke in the desert, the bright moon on the sea...

Huangcheng Gen'er's fried pork belly, Nanjing's dry shumai, and Qinhuai Fengyue, which sells gold, Shanghai's Gezai fried, Tianjin's Mahua Goubuli, Guangzhou's boat porridge and rice rolls, and Lushunkou's salted fish Pancakes, Northeast delicacies, stewed pork and cabbage vermicelli, stinky tofu in the Fire Palace, duck blood soup...

Living in the capital is really unpleasant, thinking about the emperor's power all day long, balancing the court factions, and worrying about Wang Chongyang's great cause of fighting against gold, he can't stop for a day.

Jiajing sacrificed too much for Daming.

But the big leaky ship of Daming, under Jiajing's painstaking efforts, was repaired and repaired, but there is no danger of capsizing.

Although Yan Song and his son were greedy, they were taught to be very obedient; Zhang Juzheng in Qingliu could only walk to the dark, and became what Jiajing wanted; but Yuwang's family was still making small moves from time to time.

There is no way to avoid power strife and struggle.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable to obey the law and violate the law, engage in double-dealing, and make minor stumbling blocks.

'Yu Wang! '

'It's time to see you too. '

"And grandson... Wanli, the otaku..."

The two dragons don't meet each other. Jiajing has followed the rules for decades, but breaking this rule is just a matter of his words.

Prince Yu's Mansion.

From the central gate to the bedroom, the six entrances and twelve doors are all open. If you look in depth, you can always see that the six entrances and twelve doors are full of guards of honor.

Jiajing was still the same Jiajing, he was still wearing a casual gown with a wide robe and large sleeves when he left the palace, and only a Taoist scarf was tied on his head. He was already sitting on a chair in the middle of the bedroom. Kind smile.

It's just that no one dared to look at him.

Lu Fang also smiled, standing on the left side behind Jiajing.

Kneeling three times and bowing nine times, King Yu stood on the left side in front of Jiajing with a smile on his head, and Concubine Li also stood on the right side in front of Jiajing with his head bowed on a smile.

There was an eunuch kneeling in the middle of the bedroom, holding the son in both hands and facing Jiajing.

Maybe there really is a "blessed soul" in this world, a child who is only half a year old, looking at the strange old man in front of him, not only does not cry or make trouble, but also stares at Jiajing's face and smiles.

'It looks quite lively. '

'How did you grow up to be an otaku? '

Jiajing clapped his hands and stretched out his arms.

King Yu hurriedly took over his son from the eunuch and presented it to Jiajing.

Jiajing looked at Wanli with a half-smile, but the child was still smiling in his hands.

Concubine Yu Li, whose appearance was eight points similar to shopkeeper Tong, kept her head down. At this moment, she didn't know what was going on, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

After all, he was just a baby, so Jiajing wouldn't take his anger out on him.

Holding the child on his lap and sitting down, Jiajing looked at Concubine Li and said, "You have merit, I will reward you."

Concubine Li didn't know that Jiajing was talking to her, so she still lowered her head.

King Yu quickly reminded: "Princess, Father is talking to you."

Concubine Li quickly knelt down: "This is the virtue of the ancestors, and it is the blessing of the father and the emperor who respects the sky and loves the people. How dare the children and concubines speak of their merits."

Jiajing did not come here this time to take advantage of his son or grandson. He had a very strong political purpose: "If you are meritorious, you are meritorious. I will not reward you for anything else. Your natal family was poor, so I will give your father a title." Bar."

Concubine Li was stunned there.

At this time, King Yu also knelt down next to her: "My son, on behalf of Concubine Li, thanked Father and Emperor for his kindness!"

He said and kowtowed his head.

At this time, Concubine Li was able to save herself and crawled down.

King Yu kowtowed and wanted to stand up when he saw Concubine Li still kowtowed there, so he held her and stood up.

Only then did Jiajing realize that Concubine Li was choking with tears, her face full of tears.

Jiajing: "It's a good thing, don't cry."

Concubine Li strongly wanted to take back her choked sobs: "Your minister, my son and concubine are rude..."

At this time, Jiajing showed great compassion, and said to Lu Fang behind him: "Take out two mirrors from Liulichang and give them to Concubine Li's house."

Say he picks!

It's not too picky, Yan Ge always buys it, and it also costs 3 taels of silver to buy one side.

Lu Fang immediately replied: "Yes. The maidservant will deliver the decree to Yang Jinshui when she returns to the palace."

Concubine Li was about to kneel down to thank her again at this time, Jiajing quickly said: "There is no need to thank you, take the emperor and grandson for me."

Speaking of picking up the child on his body, King Yu hurried over, took the child, and handed it to Concubine Li.

At this time, Lu Fang seized the opportunity and whispered in Jiajing's ear: "On the day of great joy, I will give a small blessing to Lord Long Live. This time, Yang Jinshui negotiated the business of one hundred mirrors with the Western businessman at one time, and paid in full. .”

When it came to money, Jiajing's expression really lifted: "How much is a hundred mirrors sold in Western countries?"

Lu Fang laughed and said: "Mirrors are sold in various provinces in Ming Dynasty, but now they cost less than 1 taels of silver. It is hard to say how much they can be sold in the West. Yang Jinshui negotiated a buy-to-buy price with foreigners, 350 million taels of silver for [-] mirrors. "

Jiajing nodded: "Good thing. Can Liulichang's production capacity keep up?"

Lu Fang muttered deliberately.

Jiajing: "Huh?"

Lu Fang: "The production capacity of Liulichang is still too small. Besides, Mr. Yan Ge ordered a mirror of 50 taels of silver before, but it has not been delivered yet. Long live Lord, can you see if you can..."

What a shrewd person Jiajing is, he knew the meaning of the words as soon as he heard it: "Yan Song is loyal to the country, so let's push back his mirror! Provide it to Western businessmen first."

Lu Fang: "Long live the sage."

Jiajing: "Right now, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can still be loyal to the country, so don't bother me with these trivial matters in the future."

"Yes." Lu Fang replied loudly, and glanced at King Yu intentionally or unintentionally.

King Yu's face moved at this moment, but he still stood there with his head bowed.

Jiajing stood up: "I won't go back to the palace for today's dinner, let's have a vegetarian meal here."

King Yu immediately bowed and replied: "I am waiting for the grace of heaven, and I would like to accompany my father to fast."

…………

This meal was not delicious, and everyone in King Yu's mansion, from the chef to King Yu, was trembling.

Jiajing ate the rice in the bowl and put down the bowl, and Yuwang and his wife also put down the bowl at the same time.

"Do you know why you need to share your family with your mother?" Jiajing asked suddenly.

King Yu cautiously said: "Returning to my father, firstly, the tax system has been simplified and corruption has been reduced; secondly, this reform will harm the interests of those with more land, but benefit the poor. People; thirdly, there is no place to hide Dingkou anymore..."

For the reform of the tax law that spreads to the mu, Yu Wang has obviously done his homework.

Jiajing stood up and looked at the bright red sunset in the courtyard: "Da Ming only has so much food, if they eat more, I eat less..."
