Daming: Apocalypse of Longevity

Chapter 124 I want ten
Zhang Yan took a deep breath and held back her tears. She stared at Zhu Tianqi resolutely and said: "Your Majesty, if I am infertile, I should never monopolize your Majesty's favor. , I hope your majesty will stop spending time on me, I don’t want to live up to your majesty’s favor!”

Zhu Tianqi looked at the woman named Zhang Yan in front of him and felt an unprecedented distress. He hugged Zhang Yan tightly in his arms and said word by word: "Don't worry, Yan'er, I don't care." Can you give birth to a prince and a daughter for me? As long as I am the emperor for a day, you will always be the main queen of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, you can't..." Zhang Yan wanted to break away as soon as she heard this, but Zhu Tianqi hugged her tightly and refused to allow her to say any more.

Zhu Tianqi patted Zhang Yan's back gently and comforted: "Yan'er, you don't have to think too much. Having a baby depends on the probability. It doesn't mean that two people will get pregnant if they sleep together. , and it has nothing to do with the number of times the two of us have lived together. Maybe it’s my fault? Don’t worry, let’s ask the imperial doctor to take a look at both of us and take care of it. I believe we will have our baby soon. children's!"

Although they were words of comfort to Zhang Yan, Zhu Tianqi really doubted whether it was his own problem. It was not that there was something wrong with his function in that area, but that as a time traveler, he was not qualified to carry on the family lineage due to some force majeure. What about the ability?After all, he can live forever, so theoretically he doesn’t need an heir!
But what Zhu Tianqi didn't expect was that as soon as the idea came to his mind, a systematic text prompt appeared in his mind: "The traveler is in the integration stage in the first year after traveling to the new world and cannot interact with any creature in the new world. Reproductive behavior!”

Although his system basically has no subjective consciousness and does not even have the level of AI, there are still some functional introductions occasionally, but every time it is this kind of text similar to the product description, which makes Zhu Tianqi felt a little sore in his balls.

I couldn't help but secretly curse in my heart: "Look, are you talking about this in human language? You're not talking about any living thing. I'm not your third brother. Do you dare to play with that kind of cross-racial love?"

But no matter what, at least the improvement of the system verified his guess. Zhu Tianqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He felt more confident to comfort Zhang Yan. He smiled slightly and said to her: "Don't worry, Yan'er. I'm here to help you." Guaranteed, there will definitely be some movement in your belly before the end of this year!”

Although Zhang Yan knew that Zhu Tianqi was trying to comfort her, she didn't know why Zhu Tianqi spoke so confidently. She couldn't help but be infected by Zhu Tianqi's confidence, and she became more confident in herself. After all, she You are still very young and it is not time to give up yet.

But even so, she still felt a little guilty in her heart. After all, in this kind of feudal society, if you can't give birth to an heir, you will usually blame the woman. Naturally, Zhang Yan also blamed herself for the reason why she had not been pregnant for a long time. , and dare not blame it on Zhu Tianqi.

So even though her mood had stabilized a lot, she still insisted: "I have thanked Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, I still advise you to treat the concubines in the harem equally, even if I can give birth to a prince for Your Majesty in the future, But in order to spread the branches of the royal family and continue the bloodline, the more princes the better, and I hope your majesty can agree!"

Zhu Tianqi didn't expect that his love for Zhang Yan would actually cause a lot of psychological burden on her, so in order to make her relax, he simply acted "scumbag", smiled at her and said, "You don't have to worry about that. , I am the king of a country, rich in the world, but now I am just a concubine who has no time to hang out in the three palaces and six courtyards.

But when I bring peace to the world in the future, I will definitely choose daughters from good families among the people to fill my harem. By then, I will have three thousand beauties in my harem, so don’t make a mistake! "Zhang Yan couldn't help being slightly shocked after hearing this, but how could she not tell that Zhu Tianqi was deliberately saying this to comfort herself? She felt even more warm in her heart, but she didn't point it out either. He said: "I am the Empress of the Ming Dynasty. I should be open-minded and will definitely not be jealous of other concubines. I hope Your Majesty can rest assured. "

After saying this, Zhang Yan seemed to be deliberately "revenge" on Zhu Tianqi, and said: "There is also the matter about the selection of concubines that I just reported to your majesty. Since your majesty has no time to see the selection in person, I will do it for your majesty." It’s up to you to decide. There are now a hundred candidates in the palace. They have been tried in the palace for nearly three months. Later, I will select the best among them for Your Majesty based on their conduct assessment in the palace during the past three months. Five outstanding people are sent to the Qianqing Palace to serve His Majesty!"

Zhu Tianqi couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. Before he could speak, Zhang Yan took a step back, saluted and said: "I, my concubine, please leave first!" After saying that, he left the Qianqing Palace, leaving Zhu Tianqi alone looking at the entrance of the palace. daze.

After a long time, Zhu Tianqi finally said what he wanted to say: "I want ten!"

As wheat matured in various places, the imperial court began to collect summer taxes nationwide. Zhang Guoji and Zhu Youjian had left the capital and went to the local areas to take charge of the work of purchasing grain.

Because the main object of summer tax collection was wheat in the past, the scope of summer tax collection was mainly in the northern Central Plains region, mainly including Shaanxi Chief Executive's Department, Beizhili, Shandong Chief Executive's Department and Henan Chief Executive's Department.

Naturally, Zhang Guoji and Zhu Youjian cannot manage such a large area, so their work mainly relies on the local taxation department yamen established in advance. The place where grain is collected is located in the taxation department. Next to the Yamen.

Zhang Guoji clearly explained the grain collection errands to his subordinates in advance, and then based on the grain collection situation in previous years, he asked his subordinates to go to their respective responsible places with sufficient money to collect grain.

Even though most of the people who went on errands, except for a few of Zhang Guoji's men, were Jin Yiwei, after all, there were too many provinces, prefectures, and counties involved. If the manpower was divided, the number of people in each place was not very large. For the sake of safety, Zhang Guoji still In advance, I visited the command and envoy offices in various places and asked them to send troops to protect them and maintain local security.

After completing these preparations, Zhang Guoji and Zhu Youjian led another group of Jinyiwei, who were responsible for transporting the purchased grain to local granaries or directly back to the capital. Of course, in addition to transporting grain, the two were also responsible for transporting grain. Provide central support to deal with emergencies that occur in the process of purchasing grain in various places.
