A new journey of accumulating wealth

"Emperor Niang..." The queen overcame a huge psychological barrier before opening her mouth to call out this title.The empress dowager in front of her is really too young.

Lin Yutong wasn't embarrassed, she looked up at her in doubt, and motioned for her to just say what she had to say.

The queen looked at Lin Yutong, "Emperor Niang, to tell you the truth, when I really sit in this position, my son... suddenly don't know what the queen should do?" She got up and knelt down slowly, " Please, Empress Madam, teach me."

Lin Yutong helped him up, "First, you have to learn one thing, don't kneel down easily. You don't have to be afraid of being ill-mannered to me. You are the queen of the Qing Dynasty. As long as the queen is upright Question, as long as you don't do stupid things, even the emperor can't easily deal with you, so don't be so trembling."

The queen was helped up and sat on the side, with a bit of pleading in her eyes, "I think that what the queen does depends on how much love and trust you have for the queen?"

This can't be wrong.Just like the fourth master, if you let yourself go, you will have a high degree of freedom.On the contrary, what you do may cause the other party's dissatisfaction, how can you not be trembling?

Lin Yutong sighed, "How to be a queen, there is no rule. For you, your first thought should not be how to be a good queen, but you must first ensure that you will always be a queen. This seat is secure It is the most important thing. I can't help you with this. However, you can look through the history books when you go back and see how so many queens did before. Don't overestimate the status of queen, but don't underestimate it too Let it go. Whether it is a queen who has become a virtuous queen or a queen who has been deposed, take a look... Cheng has its similar reasons, and dethroned has its similarities. When you understand all these thoroughly, what do queens do? You will understand naturally."

These words have pointed out!The queen's mind was taken away by Lin Yutong's words: You must first ensure that you will always be the queen.

How can these words not scare people!Doesn't this mean that even the empress dowager is not optimistic about herself?

Seeing her gloomy expression, Lin Yutong affirmed her a few words: "What you said before is also reasonable. Everyone is partial, the emperor's heart is towards you, and you are right if you are wrong. Conversely, if your heart is not towards you, you are right It's also wrong. How to mediate at this speed, you have to figure it out slowly..."

Only then did the queen find her own voice in a daze: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for reminding me."

Apart from this dry sentence, I suddenly don't know what else to say.

Lin Yutong opened his mouth, but let it go, don't say anything for now, we can't speak deeply.She got up and went to the kitchen, "Want to come and see with me?"

Can't just sit still?

The queen followed, and the waiters stayed outside the yard.

The kitchen is not big, just in the small courtyard.Big pots, small stoves, everything.She doesn't know what to do standing in your kitchen.

Lin Yutong showed her an errand, the soup was stewed on the stove, "There is a stool next to it, you sit there and watch the soup, don't call it overflowing."

The thing has been simmering for a long time, and it hasn't overflowed.

The queen felt that her mother, the empress dowager, was very friendly, which relieved her embarrassment.

Lin Yutong was busy cooking. There are two people coming today, so they must stay for dinner.Hot and cold meat and vegetables, it is enough to match eight dishes plus one soup.

The queen saw that Lin Yutong really didn't borrow other people's choice of vegetables to wash and stir-fry. He wore an apron around his waist, his sleeves were slightly rolled up, and his hands and feet were nimble. Obviously, he had always done it himself.She does it very skillfully.

Just by smelling the fragrance that wafts out, you know that the craftsmanship is very good.It's not worse than Yuchu.

She said dumbly: "Mother Huang, my daughter-in-law can't do it."

Lin Yutong laughed, "It doesn't matter if you know how to do it? You don't have to force yourself to learn something you are not good at. You are what you are. You don't need to do something for someone. Do what you are good at. If you do it to the extreme, that’s good.”

The queen couldn't help thinking, what am I good at?

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile wryly, in fact, he is not good at anything.Copy Buddhist scriptures?Does it count as a pen that can be read?Don't count!There are not no talented women in the palace.What's more, there are many famous calligraphers in the court, and the emperor doesn't like the calligraphy of a little girl.embroidery?What woman in the palace can't do a little needlework?No matter how good the job is, isn't it better than a carefully selected embroiderer?

The fingers of her hands tangle together involuntarily, and she feels more and more that the chair under her buttocks is empty.

The food was on the table, and fourth master came back with Hongli.

Lin Yutong didn't see Honghui, so he wanted to ask, and the fourth master said: "We are in the workshop with Hongluo, and Hongzhou is also here. The food is sent over."

Okay!Yong Huang must be there, and he brought an extra serving.

Ulanara bowed to the fourth master tensely, and the fourth master yelled casually, then turned around and washed his hands.Talking to Hongli while busy, "The finished product will come out soon, the process has been improved, and the cost has been greatly reduced. Push this thing slowly."

Hongli said: "My son thinks, return to the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

"Then what year and month can glass be replaced on the windows of every household in the Qing Dynasty?" The fourth master looked at him, "I don't want this money either. If you do this, find merchants to bid, and choose twenty or three in the first batch." Ten. Within three to five years, this thing will definitely be expensive. People with wealth will use it first. After three to five years, they will release another batch at a lower price..."

When Qianlong thought about it, it was okay!The wealth of the folk rich family was gathered in one place in an instant.This is a good thing!

The fourth master told him, "Eighty percent of the silver goes to the national treasury, and you have to keep the remaining twenty percent. The craftsmanship of this thing needs to be improved. Now it's a fragile product, and then it has to rely on durability."

It is durable, and it will not break after buying it once. Will the profit of glass be lower in the future?On the contrary, it is not cost-effective.

Fourth master just glanced at him, how could he not know what he was thinking.He said, "Things are different, they have different values, and they are used in different places. If there is such a strong glass that is not afraid of swords and guns, you will naturally think of other uses for this thing."

That's true!If there is such a glass, at least the imperial chariot must be replaced.

Even in business, if someone wants [-]% it is to take advantage of others.What's more, this person is Huang Ama, how easy is it to take advantage of him?

Qianlong said: "The son of this money will not move, you can just open a note and ask someone to take it."

Fourth master didn't talk nonsense with him, he was indeed not short of money now.But he didn't tell him the silver, and his narrow-mindedness didn't know which way to go.Too lazy to talk nonsense, "Eat."

The four were divided into two tables, the fourth master brought Hongli on the big table, Lin Yutong and Ulanara were on the kang table.

Ulanara was very nervous and went to ask for cloth.The fourth master waved his hand, "Go and eat yours." As he asked for a bowl from Qianlong, Qianlong hurriedly got up to serve the rice by himself, first for Ama and then for himself.

Fourth master was satisfied now, but he didn't say anything about him in front of the queen.

If you don't talk about other things, just talk about a person's appearance, Qianlong's mouth is so sweet.It's not easy when you want to please someone.

Sitting there to eat now, every dish was praised in different words quietly.

Because of the short time, we only entertained him.There are not many freshly prepared dishes, and four of the eight dishes are semi-finished products.Like crisp and tender kelp seedlings, Hong Zhou asked someone to get them, and she had marinated them in advance, and now put some minced garlic and chili peppers, and it becomes a dish when hot oil is poured on it.There are also some loaches from the mud pond earlier, cleaned up and made into sauce.Now as long as the pot is thoroughly cooked, the sauce will be overflowing naturally.

While boasting, he begged for pickles from Lin Yutong, "The side dishes I ate the last two times were especially delicious. If the Empress still has some, give some to my son, and eat them with porridge sooner or later. It's the most delicious."

No one knows whether you really love to eat or not, and it is also a way to express intimacy.

"That's sour pickled radish. If you like it, I'll bring you a jar back." Then he said to Fourth Master, "I asked you to grow more radishes before, but you weren't happy. Look, there must be someone who likes to eat it." .”

Fourth Master hated radishes, "Give him whatever he likes!"

"That's not going to work. The dried radish needs to be dried, and I'll steam the buns later to eat."

Qianlong was very happy to see him, and felt that he could eat two more bowls of rice just by watching his Huang Ama suffer.

Queen Ulanara sat there trembling with fear.Eating in the palace has always been well-behaved, like now, chatting while eating.The tone of the empress mother and the first emperor...why is it like this?Even my mother-in-law didn't dare to talk to Ama like that.

On the contrary, looking at the appearance of Long Live Lord, it seems that he is used to it.

Lin Yutong pushed the sauce-flavored loach over, "Try this, it's quite chewy." The queen couldn't help but pick up two extra chopsticks for this dish just now, and she still picked it up, which shows that she really likes it.But after three chopsticks, I don’t eat it, and the chopsticks only go into the soaked bamboo shoots.

Pickled bamboo shoots and pickled radish have the same taste, hot and sour, crisp and refreshing, really appetizing.Qianlong liked it very much, and he didn't shy away from it.But you can't even eat what you like, just leaning against each other, which is a bit self-abuse.You say that when you are a queen, if you can't let yourself enjoy the best, even if you can't achieve the most basic, then what you do as a queen is really boring.

She will take the initiative to push the food over and eat what you like.If you like to eat, I can bring you two jars.No one in the palace eats loach, but it is easy to buy loach outside, it is not rare and not expensive.

The queen smiled, and picked up a chopstick to soak the bamboo shoots, "My daughter-in-law tastes more refreshing after eating this. If you don't like it, you have to have a pot."

It is not easy to transport bamboo shoots under the current transportation conditions.It was all Hong Zhou who came in filially.Honghui also likes to eat, so there is nothing extra for her.

Lin Yutong nodded, "I still have soaked lettuce, I'll bring you some. It's better to eat less of this bamboo shoot. Your liver is not good, so you can't eat more."

The queen was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, the imperial doctor also said that her liver was not good, but it was obvious at a glance, she was really surprised.She responded with her mouth, but she had some hope in her heart, and she really wanted to build a good relationship with the person in front of her.Then she tried to get closer, "Daughter-in-law, look at the place, it's really simple, if the Queen Mother needs anything, just ask the nanny to pass it into the palace..."

Lin Yutong: "..." What's so simple here?To be honest, in terms of comfort, it was much more comfortable than in the palace.It's like no one has ever lived in the palace.She just smiled, nodded and said yes.

Qianlong glanced at the queen and felt that she could not speak.The queen's wife lived in a shabby place?So where do you mean living is not simple?Live in Yuanmingyuan?Or let's just move back to Prince Bao's Mansion and let Huang Ama and Huang Erniang live in the palace, okay?Even if there is no such meaning, it is also blaming me for not making arrangements.Living here was not arranged by me, it was chosen by Huang Ama himself, it has nothing to do with my filial piety or not.Besides, what do I need to find you?I didn't take care of it before that, didn't I make my aunt feel wronged?

How do you say the same thing so unheard of?

Ulanara didn't know what she did wrong again, and was cast a cold look by the emperor.If you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.What a woman's family needs is different from what a man's family needs. What does a aunt's mother need, should she ask her concubine's son?Of course, it's easy for women to talk to each other.Is this wrong?

It was fine when they came, but the two of them were awkward when they left.Hongli didn't even glance at Ulanara.

But Lin Yutong really didn't have much time to take care of. She and fourth master were very busy these days.

The glass on Si Ye's side finally came out, and someone was called to build a glass greenhouse on the side of the yard.When I first started doing it, the workmanship was not very good.But if it is only used as a warm room, it is enough.In the design of the greenhouse, a layer is added on top of the glass, which will not be completely covered, and the travel angle is a slope.It can guarantee a certain amount of sunlight every day, and it will not be directly pressed against the glass roof when there is heavy rain and snow.

Even if it is covered with a layer, it will not be very high.In order to keep warm, a pit shed is used.A pit was dug about 1.5 meters down from the ground level, so that it can have a good heat preservation effect.A fire hole is added to the wall, and the inside can be heated at any time if the weather is cold.

If the fourth master wanted to do something, he couldn't help but worry about employing people. He only said that when he wanted it, the crowd tactics had to be done.

As for Lin Yutong, he soaked tomato seeds earlier, and now they can be planted.

Speaking of this tomato, it is now called Phan persimmon.This thing has been around for a long time, but no one has eaten it.

When she first came to Daqing ignorantly, she was afraid of revealing her secrets all day long. How could she think of these things.When I came back with fourth master, I had been busy all my life, and the food was not bad, so I never thought that I had to eat something.I ignored this little thing.Later, she even thought, if the palace doesn't eat it, why can't it be kept by the people?

So, she really thought about looking up the information, but she saw this sentence in "The Wizard of Oz": I don't want him to be a tomato, a crooked product that looks good but doesn't taste good.

This "The Wizard of Oz" was written by Li Baichuan in the Qing Dynasty, and it was probably completed around the 29th year of Qianlong.In other words, at this point in time, there is no such book.But it can also be seen from this that everyone's general perception of this Xifan persimmon is that it's not good to eat, but it's not uncommon to grow it as an ornamental.Fourth Master is a rather serious person, and he didn't pay much attention to this thing before. Seeing that Lin Yutong believed that tomatoes were imported from abroad in the Qing Dynasty, he shook his head and told Lin Yutong to read a book called "Plant".He said that it was the first document to record tomatoes, which was written by Zhao Han in the Ming Dynasty.He mentioned in the book that tomatoes were brought to China along with sunflowers by Western missionaries in the earlier Wanli period.Later, he took Wang Xiangjin's "Quan Fang Pu", "These two books are from the same dynasty, and the difference between the completion of the books is only three or two years. They can prove each other."

Then Lin Yutong felt that it could be traced back to the root.Later, in 1983, nearly 60 pieces of pottery, lacquerware, rattan scorpions, and bamboo scorpions were unearthed in an ancient tomb of the Western Han Dynasty excavated at Fenghuang Mountain in the northern suburbs of Chengdu, as well as food remains such as rice grains, fruits, and animal bones.At the same time, some strange plant seeds were also found.After cultivation, it was found that these seeds belonged to tomatoes, that is, tomatoes!

Anyone who reads this kind of news can pass it at a glance. Lin Yutong and fourth master watched the news together at that time.Then she was still stupid and unconscious, so the fourth master asked her first, "If tomatoes were cultivated in the Han Dynasty, would the tomatoes be used as ornamental plants? Or edible fruits and vegetables? Did the tomato seeds in the Han Dynasty come from abroad, or Is it native to our country? Later, it existed in the first place, but the stock was small...or did it become extinct, and it was not introduced back until the Ming Dynasty?"

Lin Yutong: "..." How would I know?If you don't ask me, I've been deaf, okay?

Then the fourth master really searched a lot of classics for this, but he was helpless: this thing really became an unsolved case.

Lin Yutong is now planning to grow this thing.When I moved here before, I also wanted to plant, but at that time, I planted whatever seeds I could find.Lin Yutong didn't dare to take out the seeds that Lin Yutong kept.The seeds of later generations are all improved.This thing should not be scattered in the ground casually, it should be born and grown locally, and it is better to think about changing it bit by bit.

The seeds in my hand are specially found by someone.

In this period, we are at a node in the promotion of high-yield crops.The more persistent the two are in farming, the more people will pay attention to it.Therefore, fourth master also planned to grow corn in the greenhouse, so that he could eat corn on the cob in the spring.

Including sweet potatoes, which are only grown in a small area today.There is textual research on this. In Qing Dynasty Chen Shiyuan's "Jinshu Zhuan Xilu" quoted "Cailu Minhou Hezhi" it is recorded that sweet potatoes were first planted in southern Fujian, and then spread in Yinzhou, Jiaozhou, Qingzhou, and Yuzhou, and gradually spread throughout Zhejiang. And that time was around 20 years of Qianlong.

Lin Yutong also asked when chatting with the peasant women around. Some people have heard of it, and some have never heard of it.But the royals still ate.The people below are promoted as rarities.

In the autumn of this year, I asked Chen Fucai to buy some, and they will have to plant them next year.

Anyway, the first thing that comes to mind is to solve the problem of food and clothing.Regardless of whether the food is good or not, the people are not hungry, they are beggars on the road, as long as they are willing, they can go to some barren hills to open two acres of wasteland and plant two acres of sweet potatoes, and they will not starve to death.

At night, when there was no one around, fourth master and Hong Hui sat cross-legged on the kang, and the father and son talked.Fourth master will not completely indoctrinate the future generations into Honghui, just discuss.

For example, his parents' obsession with farming made him think more about land.That night, he brought up a concept with fourth master - food, clothing and fields.

His philosophy is that if one wants to have enough food, everyone must have a food and clothing field.For example, according to the per-mu yield of sweet potatoes, if no one has two mu of barren land, he will hardly starve to death.This field is not allowed to be bought or sold, and the crops grown should be supervised by the local government.If you don’t have any land other than food and clothing fields, then you must ensure that you grow coarse grains, and the output of this field can ensure that you will not starve to death.And you yourself will not be a burden to others.If you have other fields besides food and clothing fields, then after a certain level, you can freely choose what you want to plant.

But in this way, wouldn't it just tie people firmly to the ground.

Fourth Master asked back.

Hong Hui said: "If you go out to make a living, the land should be returned to the government, and you can get a certificate from the government. With this certificate, you can go to the place where you make a living and use the certificate to another vacant food and clothing field. But places like the capital of Dazhou , There are many people who make a living in other places, and there must be insufficient land. If there is no vacant land for food and clothing, you need to use the voucher given by the local government to go to the government where you make a living to receive compensation at the end of the year. And this part of the food cannot be deducted from the tax. Open source is the fundamental." He said, and his fingers were drawn outside the gate, "You said before that this is a good place to grow food. Then we have to find a way to immigrate."

This idea, there are many places that need to be improved.Even after a later population boom, drastic reforms will be required, but nothing is set in stone.Even if it is effective in the next few decades, it is worth a try.

Hong Hui followed up with another question, "But the difficulty lies in this. Everyone has a field, so who will grow the gentry's field?" And should slaves have their own food and clothing fields?

It sounds like a simple idea, but after careful study, it is found that some things may shake the fundamental things.

Therefore, he put forward another idea, "All regions should integrate idle land and reclaimable wasteland. Landless people can rent and plant this part of land cheaply according to their needs, first plant the land and then collect the rent, and collect [-]% of the crop harvest ... These people are free to come and go, farming can guarantee food and clothing, and if they don't farm, they will not be bound by land. Whenever they go to a place, they can try to rent public land from the local area...that is, farmers who have land. If the labor force is rich, it can also be rented." Similarly, no one can use the rich households who have land.

He thought of what his Ama said earlier about 'replacing labor with equipment'.

And before doing all this, there is a very important thing, that is - official administration.

If the government is not clear, these measures will only give the other party more loopholes, and I don't know how much greed and greed will be raised.

The father and son were talking there, writing as they spoke, deleting and modifying when they were done, and then they didn’t know what to think of the next day. Perhaps it was completely overturned, and those badly written papers were thrown into the brazier and burned. , and then all over again.

Winter came amidst the discussions between the two of them.

The snow did not arrive for a long time, but the water jug ​​in the kitchen received ice early.It's really cold when it freezes.As the weather gets colder, more children live in the school.Many children around me used to help the family with some work after school, but now that the farming is slack, they still have to spend firewood at home.Rao is burning the kang, but the house is much colder than the school.Not to mention how warm the big kang room is in the accommodation, and there is also a special bath pool for washing.Even in the dormitory, lying on a table and chair at night to sleep, it is not cold.

The school was lively, Fourth Master and Hong Hui occasionally went to the school dormitory at night, and sat on the bunk with those children, chatting about the three mountains and five mountains.

What did fourth master say?A string of history like gossip, like the process of national integration and so on.Many characters and stories are interspersed in it, which is very interesting.The children didn't have much fun, and it was very cold outside, so listening to stories together became the best form of entertainment.I love to hear them all.

Some villagers around, who like to wander around at night, all ran over to listen.It's just that no outsiders are allowed to live here at night.But that couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm.For the most part, it's just listening to the excitement and the strangeness.But those with a brain can hear the way.As soon as Zhang Tingyu's grandson went back to study, Zhang Tingyu understood that the late emperor was trying to ease the conflict between Manchu and Han.The boundary between Manchu and Han is blurred, and the unification of the big nation is the general trend.This is a good thing for Hanchen.

When they caught up with Xiu Mu, Fourth Master and Tong Tong took Hong Hui to the market together.It is not necessary to enter the capital city, it is also good to just wander around the outer city.Farming is slack, and many people sell what they can't eat, and the market is very prosperous.

Hong Hui has basically never seen these things.In the early years, I didn't have such opportunities in the palace. Later, when I was older, I spent most of my time in the palace. Later, I became a big brother. I only went out once or twice, and what I saw was not so real.Now I know many things in this world that I never knew before.

Lin Yutong felt that Honghui was tired from watching so much, so he took out the money and bought two candy figurines and handed them to him, "Try it!"

Honghui: "..." I don't want to eat it.

"It's just made, and it's not stained with dust." Why come out and feel bitter and bitter.

Fine!I took a bite and it wasn't as bad as I imagined.Just as he was about to speak, horseshoes sounded urgently in the distance, and the dust raised could be seen from a distance.The three of them were not in the middle of the road, so they easily avoided the side. This was an urgent trip to Beijing at eight hundred li.

Something must have happened again.For a time, there were many discussions among the people.

Originally a good mood, because the [-]-mile rush was disrupted.On the way back, Fourth Master said to Lin Yutong, "It should be the result of the Julmert rebellion."

Xi hides things over there.Anyway, it never stopped.

Sure enough, Hong Zhou came the next day, and he said the same thing, "It didn't cause much trouble. A report will come in September after the payment is made... On October 5000, Fu Qing and Rabdon and others In the name of discussing matters, Julmet Namzal was summoned to the Office of the Minister of Tibet, listed his crimes, and then drew his sword and killed him. But the work is not secret, and Zhuo Niluobu who came with Julmet Zang Zashi escaped by jumping off the building, and then summoned his party members, gathered troops to surround the building, first fired guns | Robbed more than 100 taels of treasury silver and killed more than [-] soldiers and civilians stationed in Tibet. The next day, the Dalai Lama came out to take care of it and ordered the stations along the way to deal with officers and soldiers as usual, and it is strictly forbidden to kill Han people... The leader of the rebel army Although I haven't caught it yet, there are not many people, and I can't hide it..."

In such a large Qing Dynasty, a conflict of this scale is really not a big deal.

Fourth Master didn't say anything else, he just asked, "Pay the Chinese Qiang?"

right!It is estimated that he will not be able to survive, and if he does not want to be a prisoner and hurt his family, the best way is to die.My fourth brother is not so tolerant towards the defeated general.

Seeing that Hong Zhou hadn't reacted yet, Lin Yutong sighed inwardly.The dozen or so rebels are able to Shahaihan more than 100 people because they have guns in their hands, and they are still not alert?

Where did they get those weapons?The Indian natives hired by British businessmen came in the name of religious worship.What to talk about after coming, only they know.But those weapons can't just appear out of thin air.

But this is a good opportunity for fourth master to do next.

Hong Zhou didn't know his Huang Ama's plan, let alone what his Huang Ama would do in detail, but he knew that his Huang Ama seemed very unhappy after hearing that he had been shot in full.

Going out of Zhuangzi, he went directly to the garden and talked to Qianlong about it.

Qianlong didn't take it seriously, "Huang Ama seeks perfection in everything, but this kind of thing is always changing rapidly, and no one can estimate it. I have already ordered to take care of the affairs after paying off, which is also called building an ancestral hall to worship. The younger generation in the family , it is also appropriate to support one or two appropriately. His early disposal is quite appropriate."

That's it, what else can I do.

He has a lot going on recently, so he won't report to his Huang Ama.If you're in a bad mood... then wait a few days, it's not too late to go again.

If you don't come, don't come. Fourth master took this as an opportunity to do what should be done.He didn't disturb anyone, and called Chen Fu: "Find a skilled craftsman, the one from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the best. If not, a craftsman with superb folk skills will do."

But Chen Fu didn't find them, not to mention those from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even folk craftsmen were hard to find.

What's wrong?

First, the Old Summer Palace is expanding, and many people are needed.

Second, the emperor's cemetery is still under construction, and manpower cannot be allocated.

Thirdly, in order to celebrate the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday next year, the emperor ordered the construction of the Qingyi Garden in the spring of this year.

Fourth, the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday next year needs to be prepared in advance.

Lin Yutong: "...She is 59 this year, so she hasn't even celebrated her birthday, has she?"

right!It's still a few days away.Isn't this the Lord Long Live who has been busy recently?

Lin Yutong asked, "Prepare one year in advance...what are you preparing for?"

Chen Fu smiled wryly, "Return to the words of the master and empress, ninety-nine birthday gifts."

Honghui asked, "Ninety-nine 81 cases?"

Chen Fu lowered his head, "Nine categories, each category must have nine items. It has been passed down from above that next year, Long Live Lord will give away five days in a row."

How much is five days?81 pieces per day, [-] pieces in five days.

Of the four hundred and five pieces, all must-have pieces are high-quality goods.How much thought and effort will it take for a skilled craftsman?

Hong Hui blushed, he was ashamed.He had never given such a grand birthday to his mother-in-law.

Lin Yutong's smile is also a bit thought-provoking, don't worry about how close he is, before his birthday, Hongli just sent two cars of things to finish the job.It's different when you're in front of your mother!

The fourth master laughed angrily, and recruited all available craftsmen, either to repair the garden or to play with curios.Nowadays, when you want to make guns and cannons with fine parts and good craftsmen, you find that no one is available.Chen Fu couldn't find anyone even if he came forward.

good!OK!That's great!

Lin Yutong was still in high spirits, "Happy birthday! Okay! Let's celebrate your birthday too! Let's make a big firecracker. It's a good thing, and it will be festive."

yes!Firecrackers are festive.

Fourth Master nodded slowly, "I want to set off a firecracker! This is easy to handle, I will make it for you tomorrow, and I will definitely set a big one for you."

Chen Fu shrugged his shoulders and went out. The master was angry, very angry.Guess, the one in the palace has to be taught a lesson.

November [-]th is the birthday of Empress Dowager Niu Gulu.

The Queen Mother's birthday is different from the Queen Mother Lin Yutong's birthday.Do you only celebrate on positive days?of course not!Officials have to write notes in advance to congratulate them.To remember this great day.After all, the Empress Dowager is the mother of all the people in the world.

Niu Gulu has been refreshed recently. When he woke up early in the morning, the queen read these scriptures by the side, who wrote what on the scriptures.It's nothing more than some compliments, but if you listen to it continuously, every day, you won't get tired of it.

Two days earlier, the dress was delivered, tried on, and it fit.When you wake up in the morning, you have to dress up and wait for the emperor to give you an emblem.The emblem is an honorary title, just like adding respect to "mother" this year, adding "dear" in front of mother next year, and adding "favorite" to "mother" in the next year. .After adding the emblem, go back to the Compassionate Ning Palace and wait for birthday greetings.This birthday feast was only for the Queen Mother, and Qianlong always sat on the side.

Originally the empress was on the other side, but Qianlong didn't give him a seat because he didn't know why.Therefore, the queen and concubines are a little farther away on the other side.In the main hall is the prince.A string of people like Hong Zhou, Hong Luo and Yong Huang are all standing here.The ceremony and music were celebrated outside, and the festive music never stopped. Outside, there were hundreds of people from famous families in the capital, waiting to celebrate their birthdays.

The Empress Dowager Niu Gulu sat on it full of ambition, watching her son wrapping a ribbon around his waist. This is to lead the children and grandchildren to dance the birthday celebration, she laughed haha ​​and never stopped it.

When Hong Zhou saw the ribbon handed over by the inner warden, he exchanged a glance with Hong Luo, and the two of them dawdled, should they bring it or not?

Hong Luo whispered to Hong Zhou: "Fifth Brother, find an excuse for us to hide..." Thinking of the expression on the face of the Queen's mother before she asked him to go out this morning, he shuddered, thinking that this matter must be today , won't be given so easily.

Hong Zhou also suppressed his voice, "Didn't Huang Ama say anything?"

Hongluo shook his head, "But Chen Fu and Zhang Bao, these two slaves, wish they could take off their shoes when they walk."

It means that you have to be very careful when you walk!

Then there must be anger over there!

It's over!It's over!I am caught in the middle and riding a tiger is hard to get off!
