Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 384 What is Family Love?
It has been a month since Sun Hai left the palace, and the Forbidden City has returned to its normal track.

Emperor Wanli got up early every day and went to the residences of Cisheng Empress Li and Rensheng Empress Chen to say hello, and then went to Wenyuan Pavilion for the court meeting. Siwei and Shishixing both give lectures.

In the afternoon, I dealt with the government affairs letters in the Royal Study Room as usual, and then went to the Cining Palace to accompany the Empress Dowager Li for dinner. If King Lu was not there, Wanli would take the Queen with him. After the dinner, Emperor Wanli Go back to the imperial study and work for a while, and then go to the queen's bedroom.

With an extremely regular life, Emperor Wanli also had more smiles on his face, and asked a lot more questions. Everyone inside and outside the palace praised Emperor Wanli for his compromising performance of "the prodigal son turning back".

However, the eunuch Zhang Cheng, the supervisor of ceremonies, knew that when there were only two people in the imperial study, Emperor Wanli often sat there in a daze without reading the memorial.

After Zhao Jinliang took the initiative to persuade him in Xiyuan, his status and status were different. It was said in the palace that both Empress Dowager Cisheng and Eunuch Feng had named and praised him.

The point is that Emperor Wanli also felt sorry for Zhao Jinliang, and the incident turned out to be Zhao Jinliang who did the right thing, and was beaten all over his body.

Without making a sound, Zhao Jinliang was promoted to the position of the imperial supervisor. This position has no real power, but it is a real sixth-rank. What Zhao Jinliang does every day is to watch in front of the imperial study room and follow Wanli The emperor waited on the left and right, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this level was for future promotion.

***********
On the sixth day of May, the Dragon Boat Festival is not much of a big event in the palace. It is nothing more than wormwood, red thread, and rice dumplings to meet the solar terms. After the Dragon Boat Festival, everything is normal.

That night, Emperor Wanli and King Lu accompanied Empress Dowager Li for dinner at the Palace of Compassion. Ever since their wedding, Emperor Wanli seldom came to the Palace of Compassion.

After the incident in Xiyuan, Emperor Wanli began to return to his old habits. He was a little uncomfortable when he first came, but he found that Queen Mother Li treated him the same as before, so everything went back to normal.

Lu Wang is twelve years old this year, he is much more lively than before in the past few months, he also likes to have a few chats at the dinner table, the Cisheng Empress Dowager Li often listens with a smile.

"Queen, brother, the day before yesterday I went to grandpa's mansion to play, and grandpa gave me a Jiulianhuan made in Suzhou. It was fun."

King Lu said excitedly there, Empress Dowager Li nodded with a smile, but Wanli ate with his rice bowl in his mouth. A bowl of soup, Wanli drank slowly with a spoon.

"Mother, Uncle Yongsheng's family sent something to my son two days ago. The person who delivered the things said that the manager of their family was beaten in Tianjin Wei, and a sum of money was severely withheld..."

The words were not finished, but were cut off by Emperor Wanli. He threw the spoon into the soup bowl and made some noises. Emperor Wanli said:
"No one knows about this matter. The manager set up a bureau to seize other people's shops. Wang Tong met him. He used the name of Uncle Yong Sheng to suppress others when he reasoned. In the end, Wang Tong sent him to Tianjin Weiqing Military Hall. , Confess everything there, it’s not a once-in-a-lifetime situation where feelings are in charge.”

Emperor Wanli's face was neither happy nor angry, and he just said it so plainly, but the innocent smile on Lu Wang's face disappeared little by little, and Emperor Wanli said again:
"Yiyu, you will leave the palace sooner or later, and you need to know some things now to prevent your relatives from using the name of the Tian family to run rampant outside and ruin the face of the court. Uncle Yongsheng's subordinates have done too much , His family is in Shanxi and has a deal with the outside of the Great Wall, and the court has so many rewards, is it so short of money, and is it necessary to rob the people outside!? Write a letter to restrain it."

He was suddenly interrupted and reprimanded by Emperor Wanli, but Lu Wang's face was not good-looking. After all, he is a child over 11 years old. He has not experienced anything and has little accumulation in emotional control. Hearing the end, he said flatly. got up the chair, knelt down and said:

"Brother Huang's lesson is that my younger brother will write a letter right now."

Wanli smiled again, stretched out his hand to pull King Lu up, and said:
"Why do you have to be so solemn when your family eats? If you kneel again, the queen mother will be unhappy. Get up, get up."

King Lu stood up obediently, nodded obediently, and when he sat down on the chair again, the atmosphere at the dinner table was different than before. Although there was a smile on Empress Dowager Li's face, the absurdity became weaker and weaker.

Emperor Wanli glanced around, picked up the spoon and drank two mouthfuls of soup unhurriedly, and said:
"Mother, today the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households reported that there is a shortage of winter clothes in Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen, and Liaozhen. At this time, we should set a number, and it should be shipped to various places in autumn."

Empress Dowager Li put down her chopsticks, nodded and said:

"Bianzhen is bitter and cold, and that's what it should be. The emperor just do it, don't ask Aijia."

Having said that, Emperor Wanli smiled and continued:

"The quantity of winter clothes is too large, and the household department has to go to various factories and commercial firms to purchase them. Marquis Wuqing's silk and cotton business is not small. What Huanger means is, let Marquis Wuqing do it, so that everything is convenient. .”

Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing, is the father of Empress Dowager Li, the grandfather of the emperor and King Lu, and is naturally a so-called relative. What Emperor Wanli said just now would naturally be misunderstood.

However, the purchase of winter clothes in Sibian Town is about hundreds of thousands of pieces. I don’t know how much cloth and cotton will be used. Calculated, the money used for spending must be the same as running water. Dropping into the bag, a chance to make a fortune sent by the sky.

Emperor Wanli took the initiative to hand over the errands before his arrival to Marquis Wuqing, which was tantamount to sending a large sum of money to Marquis Wuqing's family. Hou Liwei's daughter was naturally relieved to see her son taking care of her father in such a way.

"The emperor has a heart, but it's not appropriate to hand over such important matters as Bianzhen Dongyi to Marquis Wuqing!"

"The queen mother is worrying too much, what's wrong, this errand has to be done, it is not divided by the six ministers of the cabinet, those nobles in Beijing, Wu Qinghou is respectful in his work, and grandpa is at ease when he is the emperor."

Emperor Wanli said in a big way, Empress Dowager Li smiled and nodded again and again, King Lu glanced around, covered his face with his rice bowl, and began to eat big mouthfuls.

*************
"Zhang Banban, bring a hot towel, your face is very sore."

After eating, he returned to the imperial study as usual. After closing the door, Wanli lost the smile on his face and became numb again. He took the hot towel from Zhang Cheng, rubbed it on his face a few times, and just covered it like that. With a muffled face, he said:
"Outside, Lu Wang's wise and righteous remarks have been spread for several months. Apart from the daily report from the Secretary of Public Security, why don't Dongchang and Jinyiwei ignore it, and Shuntian Mansion doesn't move. Are you looking forward to something?"

Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed and replied:

"Long live, these comments are just the rumors of some fools in the village. Eunuch Feng has already checked them two months ago. They are nothing more than sighing to the old masters who teach Lu Wang, and then they spread. There is nothing else. Relationship, it is really a trivial matter, Long Live Lord just don't need to pay attention to it."

Wanli put the towel down from his face, showing a dull expression, and said in a cold voice:
"The widow is not happy to hear it, the widow doesn't want to hear it, let's order it tomorrow!"

"I've made a note of this, I'll order Zou Yi and the others to investigate and deal with it early tomorrow morning."

**************
On May [-]th, Tianjin Wei became more and more prosperous day by day. In the areas along the Haihe River and the sea, the undeveloped wasteland was drawn piece by piece, and the invited painter drew it into a plan. There are streets, shops, warehouses and warehouses on the floor plan, and there are various facilities and buildings.

There is such a blueprint in a certain size area, and there are many blueprints. Many North and South merchants bid on these blueprints and rent the shops and facilities they fancy.

After paying the deposit, then go to the Haihe River, go to the canal, go to the Tianjin Acropolis to discuss business with various merchants and watch the market, and more people flock to this Tianjin Acropolis, wanting to find a job to make a living .

In Tianjin Wei and its surroundings, various shops such as inns, restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain.

Every aspect presents a scene to the people of the world, the prosperity of Tianjin Wei University, a prosperity that seems to turn a stone into gold, and a miracle that makes the world astonished.

If there is any small noise in this, it is that a large number of pickpockets, beggars, charlatans, and real and fake monks, nuns, etc. also gather in Tianjinwei.

Wang Tong's principle is not to affect the stability here, not to affect the business of the merchants, so the task assigned to the patrol soldiers is to arrest anyone who is cheating, doing nothing, or disturbing the people's peace.

Tianjin Wei now has no shortage of places to employ people. Roads and houses are built to maintain rivers. There is no need for coolies to work there. The thousands of people in Chuantouxiang are not enough.

The weather on May [-]th was a bit cloudy, but after breakfast, the street became lively as usual. The two guards patrolling the street walked side by side on the road, constantly scanning the passers-by.

After sweeping the street a few times, the Haihe River was already quite peaceful, and there was nothing to take care of. When I was bored, I saw a monk coming out of the shop in front.

The monk was dressed in a yellow-brown monk robe that was probably new, patchwork sandals, a bamboo hat behind his back, and a black wooden stick in his hand.

It is strictly forbidden for monks, monks, or nuns to ask for alms. They pester and harass merchants to ask for alms, which is extremely annoying. Just as the two soldiers were about to go up to inquire, they saw the shopkeeper in the shop coming to the door and politely saluted goodbye. It's strange that the monk also bowed with palms together in a friendly way...
