Zhuo Qihua

Emperor Yong'an waited in Xiangfu Palace for a while, when he heard shouts from outside: "Welcome you back to the palace."

Emperor Yong'an didn't go out to meet him, no matter what, he was also the emperor.But waited and waited, but no one came into the house, Emperor Yong'an was puzzled: "Zhang Xian, go and have a look."

Zhang Xian hurried out.

As a result, Zhang Xian didn't come back after going out for a long time. Emperor Yong'an narrowed his eyes, not in a hurry.After waiting for a while, Zhang Xian came back, but he didn't say why the delay was so long, he just said: "Long live, I'm changing clothes, is it time to pass the meal?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Let's pass it on."

Then, Emperor Yong'an got up and left, and went to the main hall to wait for the meal.At this time, the time for Emperor Yong'an to have a meal has long passed.Not long after Emperor Yong'an sat down at the table, Zhuo Ji came.He was wearing a loose dark green brocade bird Su brocade uniform and a Su brocade beanie of the same color. It was not too plain and sloppy, and Emperor Yong'an was very satisfied.

After Zhuo Ji sat down, Emperor Yong'an asked, "Why did you come back so late?"

Zhuo Ji said with a tired face: "After listening to the opera for a day, my head is still swollen. But Baixifang is still strong, and they will not lose the chain during the Evergreen Festival."

At this time, the dinner was delivered, and the two stopped talking.When the meals were put on the table, Zhang Xian asked everyone else to step down, leaving only him, Feng Xi, Chang Jing, and Xiao Hui.At this moment, the closed door opened again, four people walked in with a tray each, and Emperor Yong'an had a smile on his face.

Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu brought two eunuchs from Xiangfu Palace to the table, and Zhang Xian stepped forward to put on the table four three-plate and one-soup bowls with large bowls on the four-person tray. Jing and Feng Xi had already moved aside the dishes in front of His Majesty.The three dishes and one soup were placed in front of Emperor Yong'an, Wang Bao and Yuan Xiu led two eunuchs to salute His Majesty, and then quietly retreated.

Zhang Xian and Chang Jing took away the bowls on the plate, and saw that the four plates contained one egg fried rice, one cold shredded chicken, one cold fungus and one the simplest crucian carp tofu soup.Emperor Yong'an looked at the three dishes and one soup with delight, and said with a smile: "You came back late, and you are still busy with these things."

Zhuo Ji personally took the small bowl in front of Emperor Yong'an, served him soup and said, "I like your Majesty's painting very much, and this is my thanks to Your Majesty. They are all simple dishes and don't take much effort. "

Emperor Yong'an took the bowl and shook Zhuo Ji's hand: "After dinner, I will take you to Yuqing Pool."

Zhuo Ji said: "Just wash it in the room, I'm too lazy to go there. Your Majesty, you want to accompany me tonight."

"Accompany you."

Emperor Yong'an began to eat contentedly, and Zhuo Ji was responsible for eating the platefuls of dinner served by His Majesty the Emperor.Three dishes and one soup, Zhuo Ji didn't cook much. Emperor Yong'an ate all the fish except the fish because of too many spines, and drank all the soup—this is the proof of the smoke.After eating, the two drank some tea and went to take a bath in the house.Zhuo Ji was not physically tired today, but his head was tired, lying on Emperor Yong'an in the tub, he felt drowsy.Emperor Yong'an touched his bare back and said: "Take a day off tomorrow, you are exhausted, it makes my heart ache."

Zhuo Ji muttered: "Time waits for no one. Your Majesty, you go to Beigu and tell General Pan to start building a greenhouse. The Ministry of Glass and the like will hurry up and send a batch over there. When the things I want to study are researched, the needy households The department cooperates with me to mass-produce them and send them to Chatan. There is no way for wheat and rice, but using the greenhouse and the black soil of Chatan, it is still possible for Chatan to grow some vegetables and cultivate some fungi in one winter. They can eat by themselves. It can be exchanged for money to reduce the burden on the imperial court and increase some income. It can also be used as a test site for the future promotion of greenhouses in the Mata country. The land in Chatan cannot be used in winter. Even if it fails, it will not delay the spring plowing in Chatan next year. I This year’s farm also needs to build a greenhouse, there are no vegetables in winter, and the restaurant sells fresh vegetables, so the money is coming in.”

Emperor Yong'an didn't ask him what kind of research he wanted to do, kissed Zhuo Ji's head, and sighed: "You have been busy working for me all day. If you need it, I will let the Ministry of Accounting fully cooperate, but... I really don't want to see you so tired."

Zhuo Ji: "So Your Majesty needs to select more smart people. If there are more people who can do things, it will be easier."

Emperor Yong'an: "That stupid man Nianqing yells that he can't understand it, but fortunately he is still the Minister of the Household Department."

Zhuo Ji said helplessly: "If it wasn't for my well-developed brain, I would also be blind. I am not from an economics background, so I can only provide some models. How to implement it will have to be discussed with your majesty and the ministers. First, improve the country's The economy, and then drive the development of agriculture, the common people can eat enough, we can consider the initial process of industrialization, and then use the development of industrialization to promote the development and progress of agriculture and other industries. In the future, he will be the Minister of Economic Affairs, and we can only make things difficult for him.”

Speaking of this, Zhuo Ji didn't have the slightest sympathy, and even had a little gloat.

Emperor Yong'an: "The cabinet made a proposal to increase the original shares of the 'Military Medical Research Institute'."

Zhuo Ji: "No more, that's all. If there are too many, it's worthless. Stocks and stocks, what you want is a bull market. There are many people who want to buy, but they can't buy them, so the price of this stock can go up slowly. Wait until The stocks of the Medical Research Institute have officially opened, so the assets in His Majesty's hands will not increase exponentially."

Emperor Yong'an's eyes brightened slightly: "Then don't add it."

Not only did Emperor Yong'an's private treasury use up almost all of the money in his private treasury to subscribe for the original shares, but he also borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver from his mother.As soon as Zhuo Ji said that his assets would increase a lot by then, Emperor Yong'an was very excited, he was really short of money.

After taking a bath, the two went to bed, but Emperor Yong'an's hands were uncontrollably on Zhuo Ji's body, stroking around through the pajamas.Zhuo Ji got into his arms, and touched Emperor Yong'an's legs dishonestly.

"Your Majesty, I have a headache and I want to sleep."

"I want you to sleep well."

Emperor Yong'an turned over and put Zhuo Ji under him.Huangguixie, Deguixie, and the others, Emperor Yong'an did not intend to let them conceive dragon heirs again, so naturally they would not reduce the number of times they were turned into red waves.In the entire Danyang Palace, there will only be one Zhuo Ji who can make Emperor Yong'an take the initiative to prevent pregnancy willingly.

Emperor Yong'an did his best to serve his pet and let him have a good sleep.Emperor Yong'an, who was physically and mentally refreshed, also slept deeply that night, and he didn't wake up until Feng Xi called him softly the next morning.Emperor Yong'an desperately got up early to go to court, but Zhuo Ji was still sleeping soundly on the bed.When he wakes up, he will come to class on time tomorrow.

Emperor Yong'an rejected the cabinet's application and did not increase the number of original shares of the "Military Medical Research Institute".The response from the DPRK and China was good. Most officials didn’t have a strong desire to buy original stocks. First, the price of the original stocks was too high. Second, they were also waiting to see what the Military Medical Research Institute did.The scientific research institute has not found a reason for it, so what can the military medical research institute research?After all, only officers and soldiers who have personally tried the medicines used on the North Valley battlefield know the magic of those medicines. Ordinary ministers don't care about them, and they don't understand the value of them.

Those who bought the original stock felt very happy.Nian Qing obeyed His Majesty's arrangement and allocated a sum of money from the treasury to subscribe for 2000 shares, which was 20 taels of silver.This is not a small sum.Nianqing himself subscribed for another 200 shares in his own name and spent 2 taels of silver.For this reason, Nianqing's wife even got angry with him, thinking that he was too confused and prodigal.Nianqing is naturally doubtful, but look at Wu Shao Wang, Xian Yi Wang, Shi Yu, Chen Changgeng, Sui Guogong, Qin Su, Shao Mansion... After His Majesty announced the subscription of the original shares, they sent money to his mansion as soon as the court, And after strongly demanding (threat) to sell them some of the original shares, Nian Qing, the head of the household department who had been in the top position for a long time, gritted his teeth and followed suit.

The [-] original shares were all subscribed in less than an afternoon, and there were still many big businessmen going around, wanting to come to subscribe.Nian Qing has already noticed that it is profitable, but His Majesty does not plan to add original shares, so Nian Qing is a little confused. His Majesty's private treasury is short of money, he knows, but the national treasury is even more short of money!

However, after two days, the New Year's celebration of having a small cooking stove in the imperial study room every day gradually came back to the memory.His Majesty does not add more original shares, but the price of the outer shares has been raised from 100 taels to 500 taels, and there are still price increases, Nian Qing began to carefully read the price that His Majesty gave him. Thick paper, written about the stock market, the economy, bubbles, etc.

For Emperor Yong'an, he didn't have an intuitive understanding of the so-called stock market.He also followed Zhuo Ji's suggestion to set up the original stock of the "Military Medical Research Institute".Nian Qing was aware of the stock price, and Emperor Yong'an got the popularity of the original stock of the "Military Medicine Research Institute" one step earlier than him.At this time, the Ministry of Industry also sent the architectural drawings of the two institutes, and Emperor Yong'an asked Zhang Xian to call Zhuo Ji after reading them.

Summoned by His Majesty, Zhuo Ji finished his lecture early and hurried to Qinwen Hall.As soon as Zhuo Ji arrived, Emperor Yong'an waved to him and said, "The Ministry of Industry has sent the architectural design drawings of the 'Military Medicine Research Institute' and the 'Military Industry Research Institute', please take a look."

Zhuo Ji stepped forward immediately.The buildings of the two buildings must be made of concrete. Zhuo Ji mentioned to Emperor Yong'an the general form and requirements of the design of the two buildings, and Emperor Yong'an relayed it to Shi Yu.The craftsmen in charge of the architectural design of the Ministry of Industry worked overtime and drew the design drawings according to His Majesty's request.

There are nearly 40 design drawings of the two institutes, covering the overall structure and all internal structures.After Zhuo Ji looked at them one by one, he asked Zhang Xian to fetch his quill pen and ink.Zhuo Ji had never studied architectural design, but in the last few years, the places he often visited were research institutions.According to the characteristics of the two institutes and his own insights, Zhuo Ji wrote and drew his own revision opinions on the drawings, and discussed with Emperor Yong'an to perfect these revisions.Zhuo Ji didn't stop writing until it was time for dinner.Emperor Yong'an didn't call Chuanshan first, but he ordered Shiyu to be announced immediately.After Shi Yu entered the cabinet, he also had to be on night duty frequently. He happened to be in the cabinet tonight waiting for His Majesty's revision opinions.

Emperor Yong'an then asked someone to pass on the meal, and then told Zhuo Ji how the stock price of the "Military Medical Research Institute" had risen outside.After hearing this, Zhuo Ji said: "Your Majesty, release the news of Qingsu Liquid, Infusion Liquid, Huangyanxiao, and Qubaiyao. When the market officially opens, the stock price of each share of the research institute will definitely make Your Majesty more satisfied. At that time, Your Majesty can sell a small The original shares of some private treasuries ease the financial pressure on the private treasury.”

Emperor Yong'an looked at Zhuo Ji with deeper eyes, and Zhuo Ji smiled and said, "'Baozhilin' only makes people's livelihood medicines, and I will hand over the rest of the medicines to Your Majesty after the Institute is officially listed. Your Majesty, all In the future, the research and development of medicines will be handed over to research institutes. Our goal is to cultivate the awareness of independent research and development of medicines in the staff of the research institutes, so that they dare to think, do, and practice. Only in this way can our medical research progress. "

Emperor Yong'an stretched out his hand, pulled Zhuo Ji into his arms, let him sit on his lap, hugged him, and then kissed Zhuo Ji on the top of his head: "You are my virtuous housemate, I listen to you. There are three more days until the Empress Dowager's birthday, so you should rest too. I will go to Xiangfu Palace tonight."

Zhuo Ji raised his hand to stroke Emperor Yong'an's piercing chin, and said, "When is Your Majesty going to Yuxian Palace?"

Yuxian Palace is the sleeping palace of Concubine Xi. After Emperor Yong'an came back, he has been staying in the West Eighth Palace, but he has never been to the East Eighth Palace.Zhuo Ji knew that Emperor Yong'an still blamed the noble concubine in his heart.Emperor Yong'an did not shy away: "I just want her to understand that I am very upset. What gift did you prepare for the queen mother? I prepared a copy for you. If you are not in a hurry, I will let Zhang Xian take it for you. "

Zhuo Ji knew that Emperor Yong'an didn't want to mention this matter, so he followed Emperor Yong'an's words and said: "It's ready. It's also a product that Brother Mingyu will launch in the future. I'm also advertising on the Queen Mother's birthday. Your Majesty, Queen Mother I don't want to sleep in on my birthday, so you have to wake me up early."

Emperor Yong'an said: "You can give your birthday present at any time. If you wake up early, the Empress Dowager will still feel sorry for you. Just go there after you wake up."

Zhuo Ji: "It's not good to appear in the middle of the stage every time. I haven't talked to the queen mother and brothers and sisters for a long time. But I won't go to the theater. I'll go to the pharmacy."

Emperor Yong'an frowned: "I don't care about such a day."

Zhuo Ji: "I'm going to take a good rest after I've been busy. Your Majesty wants to spare time to take me out to relax. Besides, I get sleepy when I listen to the opera. It's not good to disturb the Queen Mother's elegant mood."

"……it is good."

That night, Emperor Yong'an went to Xiangfu Palace logically.Zhuo Ji secretly made three dishes and one soup for Emperor Yong'an.Emperor Yong'an was eating contentedly when Wang Bao came in from the outside, walked behind Zhang Xian and said a few words in a low voice.Zhang Xian nodded, and Wang Bao went out.Neither Emperor Yong'an nor Zhuo Ji asked what happened.If it was a big deal, Wang Bao wouldn't tell Zhang Xian directly.

It was still early, and Emperor Yong'an took Zhuo Ji to Yuqing Pool to soak in soup after eating and drinking.It's been a long time since I soaked in the big pool, Zhuo Ji moaned comfortably, until Emperor Yong'an's eyes turned green.

"Come here and wipe my back."

Emperor Yong'an's voice was a little hoarse.Zhuo Ji swam over with a smile on his lips, but he didn't go to get the cloth for wiping his back, but straddled Emperor Yong'an.

"Your Majesty, when will the plaque on the gate of the Palace of Attendants be delivered?"

Emperor Yong'an kneaded Zhuo Ji's buttocks with both hands, and his voice became hoarse a few times: "After the Evergreen Festival, I will hang it up for you." Then, Emperor Yong'an leaned forward and kissed Zhuo Ji's wet neck.

"His Majesty……"

The two became lingering in the pool, and Zhang Xian immediately led them back far away.But this time, there was very little movement in Yuqing Pool, at least Zhang Xian didn't hear the applause.

Emperor Yong'an's kiss was very gentle, and his touch was very gentle. Although it was still as turbulent as usual after entering, there was a deep love in his movements.Emperor Yong'an didn't like violence every time, and occasionally he also enjoyed the extremely gentle sex with Zhuo Ji.Zhuo Ji was also very cooperative, he whispered his needs in Emperor Yong'an's ear, and he asked His Majesty to hug him tightly and kiss him more deeply.

The sex lasted for a long time, but after the end, the lips and tongues of the two did not separate for a long time.This perfect fit of body and spirit made Emperor Yong'an dizzy.

After the lips of the two left, Zhuo Ji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I will wipe your back."

Early the next morning, while Zhuo Ji was still sleeping, Emperor Yong'an got off the bed lightly, put on his nightgown and went outside to get dressed and freshen up.During the whole process, the movements of the eunuchs and court ladies were extremely light, and they must not disturb the 忍俍 in the back room.Instead of having breakfast in Xiangfu Palace, Emperor Yong'an first went to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and then went to Fengtian Palace.After a hasty breakfast, Emperor Yong'an was ready to go to court.The whole country is on holiday for three days during the Evergreen Festival, and Emperor Yong'an needs to explain a lot of things before that.

It was not until the end of the court meeting at noon and Emperor Yong'an returned to Fengtian Hall that Zhang Xian said what Wang Bao came in and told him last night.

"Your Majesty, Liu Dounan burned his hand last night."

Emperor Yong'an, who was drinking tea and resting, was stunned for a moment, then raised his head: "Which one is Liu Dounan?"

Zhang Xian: "Liu Yimu, Liu Dounan, and Liu Yaren live in the side palace of Huayang Palace."

Emperor Yong'an lowered his eyes and continued to drink tea, asking, "Why is it so hot?"

Zhang Xian: "It is said that the candle accidentally lit an embroidered picture of Liu Dounan, and Liu Dounan put out the fire with his hands out of desperation, and got burned."

Emperor Yong'an: "The palace is full of wooden buildings, and there are many silk paper paintings in the house. The fire protection in the palace must be done well. It's nothing to burn an embroidery picture. If you burn a palace or courtyard, I don't care." Be gentle. There are many paintings and calligraphy in Wensi Pavilion, you send someone to check carefully to see if there are any hidden dangers. Shunxi reminded me before, but I forgot when I was busy. You go to inform the empress about this, especially When the sky is dry and things are dry, you must treat it with caution."

"Yes--"

Zhang Xian left.Emperor Yong'an continued to drink tea, eat snacks, and rest.At this time Feng Xi came in from the outside: "Your Majesty, Sui Guogong, Shi Shangshu and Nian Shangshu are asking to see you."

"Announce it."

Sui Guogong, Shi Yu and Nian Qing came for the two buildings.The drawing has been revised again according to Zhuo Ji's opinion, and Emperor Yong'an directly dumped Zhuo Ji's revised sketch to Shi Yu.Shi Yu was able to keep his face unchanged when he saw the handwriting of Zuo Zu.Shi Yu himself copied the amendments and handed them over to the cabinet for review.The craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry responsible for the research and development of cement have already experimented with concrete and hollow cement bricks, and have achieved unexpected results. Now they are waiting for His Majesty to rule on the drawings, and then officially start construction.
