The Lonely Family in the Red Chamber

Compared with the East Palace in Tu Jingnian's time, although A Ming's current East Palace cannot be said to be like a sieve, it is not watertight, but rather troublesome. Because of Tu Jingnian, A Ming's original The wet nurse had been sent out of the palace when he was the grandson of the emperor, and Amin was served by nothing but the personal eunuchs arranged by Tu Jingnian and several eunuchs in charge who were later arranged for the Eastern Palace. A female official who is older but does not want to leave the palace.

These people naturally serve Amin with all their strength and try their best to please him. Of course, everyone thinks this way. Whoever can win by surprise will naturally get more favor and a deeper impression from Amin. Therefore, naturally Some people came up with some crooked ideas.

A Ming thought a lot after going back this time, and naturally noticed something was wrong. He did things very directly, and didn't mean to chase after them. He simply called the eunuchs in charge of the East Palace to drive some people away. A few more people were beaten because of poor service, and they changed from proud people around the prince to eunuchs who were rough envoys.

After Tu Jingnian got the news, he just smiled. This kid is straightforward. The palace people, including the female officials, are involuntary in life and death. They are all controlled by the masters of the palace. A Ming is the heir apparent. , without experiencing the taboos of the emperor, there is no need to have any taboos at all to send a few palace people.

On the contrary, after He Yu heard about it, she felt a little uncomfortable, because there were two people who were dismissed, and they were sent by He Yu. It's just that she has become more alienated from A Ming now, so it's not easy for a few people to send her away. People, to pursue the matter with the prince, had to say a few words behind his back.

And not long after, when Meimei was about to give birth, Meimei was already in good health. She was born in Yunnan and grew up in Yunnan. In Yunnan, it's not popular to stay out of the door or step out of the door. The atmosphere there is more open. Some villages are even headed by women. The Mei family has a good relationship with the Miao and Bai people there, and the education of their daughters is relatively loose. Meimei has even learned some martial arts. It was also easy, Meimei had some reactions at first when she came out, but later she just ate and smelled delicious, and the delivery was also very smooth, but it took a little more than an hour, and she gave birth to a big fat boy smoothly.This kid weighed eight catties when he was born, his crying sound was very loud, and his lanugo hair was relatively thick. He looked a little thick-headed and tiger-headed, so Tu Jingnian almost didn't follow the habit of naming people in his previous life, and directly called this kid "Strong". In the end, he still didn't choose this somewhat inappropriate name, and followed the trend and directly gave the child a nickname, A Shou, which means wishing the child a long life.

Ayang is seven years old now, and Tu Jingnian has only had his third child, and it is also the first child after Tu Jingnian ascended the throne, so the meaning is naturally different.Even Emperor Chengqing loved this child, so the three full moons were held grandly. At that time, Ayang was still the emperor's grandson, not the eldest grandson, and the East Palace was a little nervous at that time, so the ceremony was not counted as grandson. It is particularly grand, but it seems that Ah Shou's specification is comparable to that of Ah Yang.

Ah Yang himself didn't know, but it hurt He Yu's eyes.The smile on He Yu's face was very forced. What's more, on the day of the full moon, Mei Mei appeared in a full dress, and Tu Jingnian directly decreed that Mei Mei was named Zhaoyi at the full moon banquet. Let's go, who would let there be no concubine at this moment!

Tu Jingnian didn't care too much about the undercurrents in the harem, these were irrelevant to the overall situation, as long as it didn't involve the prince, princess and the harem's secrets, he had nothing to worry about.

The Ministry of Industry has produced the first train. After the test, although the speed is only [-] miles per hour, this is already a very remarkable figure. Immediately, Tu Jingnian ordered to improve it. Trains, on the other hand, began building railroads.For convenience, in a large part of the area, the train runs directly parallel to the official road. After all, most of the places where the official road is built are open and flat, which brings great convenience to the laying of the railway tracks. As for the inconvenient places, that is also Nothing, anyway, TNT has already been created, just use explosives to open mountains and build tunnels!

The laying of the railway is naturally a big project. Tu Jingnian was just preparing to establish the Royal Railway Company. The Ministry of Finance immediately heard the news and strongly opposed it, saying that the railway is the most important weapon of the country and should belong to the entire country. At least, in Tu Jingnian According to the plan, the transportation of soldiers and horses in the future must be carried out by railway. Therefore, this naturally cannot be entirely handed over to the royal family or the imperial family for construction management. It is required that the construction funds be paid from the treasury. In the future, the relevant departments will also be appointed by the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of profit. After so many years, everyone has discovered that the emperor's vision is really great. He does what he does to make money. Besides, Tu Jingnian almost established the Ministry of Railways. In the future, this will be the private land of the clan. It has already made the officials of the imperial court very jealous. They have mixed a fortune in many royal properties. Every year, the dividends alone make people jealous. Now, many clans that are about to have no titles are hardened when they walk outside. With enough money, they can use various means, whether it is to donate officials, or go through the channels of the clan mansion, work in the clan mansion, the house of internal affairs, and even some titles have come to an end, they can study if they have money , Participating in the imperial examination, as long as they can be admitted to Juren, they can generally be awarded officials. Who made them surnamed disciples!

The Ministry of Railways sounds like a large department. Tu Jingnian has always been generous in his work. It is estimated that the railway will cover the whole country in the future. By then, I am afraid that all the clans will be able to be officials from birth. The clan will do all the officials they can. What to do with these orthodox scholars?Therefore, Tu Jingnian brought it up, and the entire court was full of opposition. The Ministry of Finance, relying on the current state treasury being full, directly stated that the Ministry of Housing will pay for the construction of railways and the purchase of trains. The Ministry is still under the name of the Ministry of Households, recruiting Jinshi candidates to enter the job.

Tu Jingnian was naturally unwilling to ask these people to pick peaches. Although it is not a bad thing to introduce the Ministry of Households, the clan should always have the leading power.

When the clan heard that these courtiers were robbing them of their benefits, they became anxious. Immediately, several leaders of the clan went to the court for an unprecedented time. After arguing with these courtiers in the court hall for half a month, they finally reached an agreement. According to the agreement, the railway investment department and the imperial family will split half and half, and each will contribute 50.00% of the money. The operation of the train is not like this. Whoever pays for the train will operate it. Of course, if the operation of the train is profitable, it is natural to turn over part of it. To the Ministry of Railways, who told them to walk off the railway!As for the official positions of the Ministry of Railways, the ordinary positions below are naturally divided between the clan and the scholars. As for the top positions, such as the chief officer, some directly set up two positions, one for the clan, and the top chief officer. That is to take turns.

The imperial court always felt that they were at a disadvantage, but it was obvious that the emperor was biased towards the clan, so they had no choice but to admit that it would take a period of time to recover the cost and make profits, and the household department had to reserve a lot Most of the money is for other things, and it is impossible to throw all the money in at once, so I have to admit it.

The clan didn't feel that they had taken advantage of it. Originally, Tu Jingnian planned to turn the Ministry of Railways into the clan's private land, but he forced those foreign ministers to cut him off. Immediately, the clan only felt that those foreign ministers were really hateful. To be honest enough, and not to fight for power with them, but they still think about the stuff that officials talk about all day long, it is too hypocritical, too villainous!

Tu Jingnian was happy to see the confrontation between the two sides. Now that the clan is starting to become stronger, some people are colluding with foreign ministers, so it is easy to cause some troubles that are difficult to deal with. Now that the two sides are fighting, if there is any problem in the future, the clan's house will deal with it When you get up, it's more crisp and neat.

Before the railway was built, the Ministry of Railways set up a shelf first. They were all arguing about which section of the railway to build first. Tu Jingnian simply ordered them to build a large railway that runs through Dajin, starting from Chang'an. Directly leading to Qiantang, the route is determined first, and then both sides draw lots to decide who will build it from the east and who will build it from the west. Finally, they will join the dragon to see who can build it faster and better, and whoever can build it first will lead the Ministry of Railways.Anyway, the difficulty of the two sides is actually the same. There are mountains in the west and water in the east. At the beginning, everyone didn't know who was in charge of which side. Naturally, we had to figure out the easiest route first.Moreover, with the introduction of a competition mechanism, naturally both parties have to work hard, and Tu Jingnian only needs to ask about the progress from time to time.

Not to mention a group of courtiers and a few old men from the imperial clan who were blowing their beards and staring at each other because of this matter, they used the fastest speed to find suitable prospectors first, and the main members were mostly Feng Shui masters. Don't say anything these days Feudal superstition, these people are really professional in their understanding of land veins. The people and the government want to build houses, dig wells, and build water conservancy. They have to go to them.Tu Jingnian thought, after these people finish surveying the railway route, they can be directly pulled out to teach the students below them in geology.

Naturally, the construction of the railway is not something that can be done in a day or two. After someone was found to be responsible for this matter, Tu Jingnian put it aside for the time being. Now there are not many things in the court, and there are even fewer things that need to be approved by Tu Jingnian himself. What Jingnian has done, the efficiency of each yamen is unprecedentedly high now, and Tu Jingnian has also relaxed. What he often does now is nothing more than teaching his son and accompanying Emperor Chengqing.

In the spring before Emperor Chengqing, due to the abnormal climate, it had already warmed up. Not long after, the cold air came down south, and there was a peach blossom snow in March. Emperor Chengqing suffered from the cold and fell ill.He was already old, and his physical foundation was a little weak. This disease brought back some of his original symptoms. As a result, the disease was barely cured after more than a month. After he recovered, his spirit was not as good. In the past, the whole person became more and more old. Although he was taken care of very carefully, but not long ago, in April and May, there was a lot of rain, which lasted for more than half a month. Emperor Chengqing couldn't stand the weather and had another stroke. , and then fell ill.

Tu Jingnian was very worried about this. Regardless of how he treated others, Emperor Chengqing had some doubts about Tu Jingnian, but most of the time, he was still a loving father. Therefore, the relationship between father and son was very deep. Seeing that Emperor Chengqing was only five or sixty years old and was already bedridden, sometimes sober and sometimes confused, Tu Jingnian was very worried and wished he could stay by the bed day and night.

Seeing that Emperor Chengqing was seriously ill and hadn't seen him for a long time, Tu Jingnian inevitably felt that the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital were useless, and that they used too much medicine for stability, not seeking merit, but seeking innocence. He even posted an imperial list to recruit famous doctors from the people, However, these days, there are not many truly capable doctors staying in the folk, but I found a few old doctors who have returned to their hometowns, and asked them to travel thousands of miles to Beijing to diagnose Emperor Chengqing's pulse. In the end, they still couldn't fight for their lives.

In the middle of the night on July [-]th, Emperor Chengqing passed away in his sleep. Tu Jingnian issued an order to mourn the whole country.
