back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 158
It is said that behind every successful man, there is a good wife.A virtuous housemate will guide you when you are down; share joys and sorrows with you when your career is down; analyze the current situation for you when you are at a loss, so that you can see it more clearly...the so-called one-person plan Short, two count the long, and having a good wife will at least save you a lot of detours.Zhou Zhiruo was in a family of high officials, and had been fascinated by power since she was a child.In this regard, he must be much better than Lu Chengqi who has not been exposed to too much darkness in the officialdom.As soon as these words came out, Lu Chengqi, who was not too stupid, finally had some experience, and vaguely comprehended some emperor's skills.

Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi couldn't help sighing: "If you have a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?" Zhou Zhiruo smiled after hearing this, showing her charming dimples, and said: "Your Majesty praises your concubine so much. I can't stand it."

Lu Chengqi took this delicate woman into his arms with distress, carefully looked at her flawless face, and secretly sighed his good luck to meet such a good woman.In my heart, I am more interested in the old emperor who personally chose a wife for him. What kind of a master of people can tell from a young age that this woman will definitely be a good queen and the emperor's virtuous wife?

Lu Chengqi suddenly said: "Zitong, I don't want to restore the official and salt system, do you have any good solutions?"

Zhou Zhiruo pressed her head tighter when she heard the words, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is in charge of the power, what should I do, and how can I persuade my concubines? I just hope that Your Majesty will be more thoughtful and don't let the people suffer so much again."

Lu Chengqi sighed: "I know, I feel ashamed of Zi Tong's painstaking efforts! It's just that the salt administration is related to the physical problems of my Dashun people, and I will not give in no matter what. Even if they are enemies with me, As long as Zi Tong is by my side, I will not be afraid of anything!"

Women are really emotional animals. Hearing Lu Chengqi's domineering declaration, Zhou Zhiruo's delicate body trembled slightly, and she buried her head even deeper: "You, you speak such embarrassing things!"

Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "However, Zi Tong's words have inspired me a lot. Now I have an idea, and Zi Tong will help me to discuss it in detail."

"What do you think, the concubine is just a woman, how can she participate in this kind of thing..." Zhou Zhiruo said hesitantly.

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Zitong is like my military advisor, my son-in-law, how can he not participate? Zitong is also familiar with business, and has been running Huangzhuang for a while, so he must have experience in economics. Why don't you just listen to my advice, How are you?"

Zhou Zhiruo struggled for a while, then said cautiously: "The concubine speaks nonsense, can His Majesty blame you?"

"Never blame!"

"You are the emperor, but you have a golden eloquence! Tell me, my concubine, listen." Zhou Zhiruo smiled slyly, raised her head, and looked at Lu Chengqi's face illuminated by the candlelight.

Lu Chengqi felt that he had been swayed by this smart woman again, but he was willing and said: "Since the price of salt has dropped, the people have no salt to eat because there is no one to transport it. Then we need to start with the business route. Recently The renovation of the official road is no longer as difficult as before, and the transportation is also convenient. Since Huangzhuang has already started this kind of business, why not sell some special products from the local area after transporting the salt, and transport them to the salt field area for sale? Firstly, if we exchange what we have, we can do business. If someone follows suit, it will be great. After a long time, the common people will be able to eat salt, and the merchants will be able to make money, and the salt price will probably rise a bit. He Le Instead of?"

Zhou Zhiruo was clever and smart, after careful consideration, she felt that this method would work.But she still has some hidden worries: "The territory of Dashun is not very peaceful, and there are many thieves infesting, I am afraid it will not be easy!"

Lu Chengqi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't think about this level, he couldn't help but sighed and said: "It seems that I really don't know much about my country, what is it like!"

Zhou Zhiruo said with a smile: "Actually, your Majesty is wrong. If you let the inspectors protect you along the way, which thief would dare to rob? As for the price of salt, you can buy it in large quantities and sell it at a high price to lure it. The merchants come here, so you don't need to worry about it." .”

Lu Chengqi looked at Zhou Zhiruo in surprise, and said after a while, "Zi Tong, who taught you this method?"

Zhou Zhiruo proclaimed her innocence: "The concubine came up with this on her own. Since His Majesty does not agree to the official operation of the salt again, the concubine has to find another way. Now Huangzhuang has more than 300 million coins, enough to buy a large amount of coarse salt. To supply the people of several state capitals. If we cooperate with the guidance of "Dashun Minbao", the price of salt will soon be stabilized. It's just that those salt merchants who hoard a lot of salt will suffer for a while..."

Lu Chengqi couldn't help but marvel that Zhou Zhiruo, a genius in business, actually learned the laws of economics without a teacher.In fact, everyone knows the truth at this time, "things are rare and expensive", and the quantity is small, and the price will naturally be high.

Lu Chengqi thought for a while and said, "This is a good idea, so let's do it this way. Huangzhuang has always been managed by Zitong, and I never ask. All I need is to manage it well, and complete my work on the welfare home, pharmacy bureau, and nursing home." I am very satisfied with the idea of ​​the almshouse."

Zhou Zhiruo couldn't help but put a high hat on Lu Chengqi, and said: "I know that Your Majesty cares about the common people, and he is indeed a wise king!" After saying that, she felt it was funny, and laughed.

Lu Chengqi said angrily: "Okay, even I dare to tease you, I don't need to serve you with family law!" After finishing speaking, he picked up Zhou Zhiruo's delicate body and put it on the dragon and phoenix bed. Si breathed out like blue, and said: "What kind of family law will your Majesty use to serve your courtiers and concubines?"

Lu Chengqi is a first-time brother, he has never seen such a battle before, and his blood surged immediately.Fortunately, he sticks to the bottom line and murmured, "Family law is..."

"Ah, Your Majesty, how could you beat your concubine!" Zhou Zhiruo exclaimed, but Lu Chengqi laughed and said, "Spanking is the law of the family!"

Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "I've never seen such a dishonest emperor!" Lu Chengqi smiled and said nothing, but his hands were very dishonest.

Fortunately, Lu Chengqi still kept the bottom line, except for what he shouldn't do, he did everything else, which he called "planning for the future".It made Zhou Zhiruo look like a resentful woman, she kept looking at Lu Chengqi with gloomy eyes, while the tent was warm in the spring and the red luan was moving, it was not enough for outsiders to understand.

The next day, the refreshed Lu Chengqi got up early in the morning, like a god of avoiding the plague, after eating breakfast, he slipped out of the palace, lest those imperial censors come to block him again.These people are more entangled than the 502 glue of later generations. Once they are entangled by them, there is no other way but to hide in the vertical arch palace.

It has been a while since I went to the Royal University last time, and I haven't been to the Royal Military Academy for a long time. Lu Chengqi really wants to see how these two schools, which are completely different in nature, have developed into what he founded.

"These days, the Military Weapons Supervision must have redone the railway track long ago, and the test has been completed, right? That is to say, the first light rail connecting Chang'an City to the suburbs in this different time and space has been completed!" Thinking of this, Lu Chengqi Just a burst of excitement.
