Are you stupid?

Clear out the women the emperor slept with from the emperor's harem?

The prince's courage is really extraordinary.

He is a man who does great things!

But the next words cannot be casually listened to.

Gu Jian immediately expressed his opinion, "Sang Ji, go outside and look around, it's time to take a break from work, let everyone who has nothing to do lock the cabinet early and go home."

Only Gu Jian and Shenlong were left in the huge hall, Gu Jian simply said: "Your Highness knows what I just said, if it is revealed, you will not be the prince soon, will you?"

The old god Shenlong shook his head, "Gu Shilang is too worried. Father, he really doesn't really care."

Emperor Taixing had pretended to be a good old man in front of his courtiers for too long, and many of his courtiers thought he cared so much about his reputation.

But in fact, Emperor Taixing's "care" is also divided into people and things.

King Lu is the younger brother of Emperor Taixing. Whether he is a "virtuous king", "idle king", or a rebel, his origin is destined to have a place in the history books, so Emperor Taixing hates and hates this younger brother in his heart , I am still willing to always praise King Lu for the sake of his posthumous reputation, let him be well-clothed and well-fed, and have servants and women in groups.

But what are the women in the harem in the eyes of Emperor Taixing?

Even the fact that they were conscripted into the palace every year did not appear in the "Daily Notes".

In other words, apart from the concubines with status, other women in the harem do not exist!

Except for the time when Emperor Taixing was greedy for freshness, how could Emperor Taixing care about the life and death of thousands of women in the harem?As long as someone told Emperor Taixing that killing all these women would alleviate the treasury crisis and would not affect Emperor Taixing's posthumous reputation, Shenlong couldn't imagine what terrible things would happen.

What's more, Emperor Taixing himself has played a lot of tricks over the years, and all the big girls and the young wives have to try it.A year before Shenlong "recovered health", he almost got into a fight with a pregnant widow and Lin De.

Emperor Taixing was not a person who cared about whether a woman was a virgin or not, as long as he had fun.

In this regard, Shenlong really didn't know whether to use "equal treatment" to evaluate Emperor Taixing's attitude towards women.

Therefore, Shenlong has a strong premonition that as long as he operates properly, he can completely make his plan go smoothly.

Gu Jian didn't think that the little prince's idea was easy to realize.

He asked disapprovingly, "Does Your Highness want the Empress to advise His Majesty on His Majesty's behalf? Your Majesty has many spoilers, and it's not easy for Your Majesty to support in the harem these years. Your Highness's plan may not be willing to meddle, but she is willing. It's too risky."

The courtiers knew what kind of virtue Taixing Emperor had - there are so many women in the family, no matter how magnanimous the main wife is, it will not be easy.

Gu Jian almost said directly, "Empress Cui has suffered bad luck for eight lifetimes. Having a husband like Emperor Taixing is not enough. My son finally grew up, and he came to trick her again."

Shenlong leaned on the table and trembled with laughter, tears streaming down his face.

He barely stopped laughing, wiped away his tears, and explained earnestly: "Gu Shilang is still paranoid. It's not easy for my mother to raise me. I won't let her work hard for me when I was young. When I grow up, I will hurt my mother and be reprimanded by my father." How should I persuade my father to leave the palace? I have my own plan, and the empress mother will not be involved."

"Is Your Highness no longer thinking of other ways?" Gu Nian asked anxiously, terrified by the little prince's decision.

Gu Jian realized that the current crown prince and future emperor of Dazhou is also a very stubborn person.

"The only way to save money is to 'increase income' and 'reduce expenditure'." Shenlong tapped the table regularly, "The Great Zhou Navy has been calling for it to be built since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The money has been spent, and the results have not been seen. The more Conscription, there are more and more water bandits in the southern generation. Therefore, the plan to use the navy to escort merchant ships to travel around the world and obtain a lot of wealth through trade is temporarily hopeless. The annual income of the land is considerable, and the decline in population itself will lead to Taxes are falling. If you want the country to be stable, you can’t easily increase the burden on the people, so exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes must not be raised, so there is no way to 'open source'."

"—In this way, what else can we do if we don't 'throttle'?"

"'Throttling' is not just a way to move the harem."

"Except for the harem, what money can be saved?" Shenlong shook his head, "There must be many people who want to move military expenses, but as long as I am here, courtiers will never be allowed to focus on military expenses. Can all the officials be laid off? In the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, there was a lot of waste to be done, and the salaries were not set high. Many officials received their salaries, and the whole family couldn’t afford polished rice for cooking.”

"Huh." Shenlong suddenly let out a sharp hum, and said with a sneer, "Learn literary and martial arts, and be like the emperor's family. It sounds nice."

"If a person has a whole body of ability but can't even support his parents, wife and children, would he be willing to be poor? Those who can persevere are indeed gentlemen, but those who can't persevere are not necessarily traitors."

"Who can just watch his youngest son dying of illness at home, and don't try to save his life, but give up if he has no money--I never dare to use this kind of person, because people can be cruel to their relatives, and they can't be cruel to outsiders." Will embrace any soft affection."

Shenlong put his hands on his knees and asked Gu Jian, "Gu Shilang, tell me, if Anian is too sick to get out of bed, someone is willing to give you money and find a genius doctor to save his life, will you accept it?"

Gu Jian, an old fritter in the court, laughed when Shenlong asked him.

"Your Highness's question is too embarrassing."

First of all, I said that officials who don't even think of a way to treat their own children can't be used, and then asked if someone reached out to help him in his illness, would he accept it.

Doesn't this make it clear that there is still something to wait for?

"Being courteous to others, one must ask for something. I'm afraid this stranger who donates righteousness and wealth has other plans." Gu Jian dipped his tea and wrote the second son of "Lu Wang" on the table, and stretched his brows, "What is your Highness thinking?" So it was borrowing strength to fight strength? It is the old minister who thinks His Highness is too simple."

When Shenlong was a child, he was pressured by his direct elder brother, and almost never received any direct praise. At this time, he was so excited that his face flushed with excitement from Gu Jian's undisguised praise.

He immediately stood up and looked at Gu Jian's luggage politely, "At the Great Court Meeting, I still need to work for the minister to describe it for me."

"Your Highness is at ease." Gu Jian stood up and returned the salute to Shenlong. After today's discussion of the memorial, Gu Jian, who had barely known the prince in the past, could no longer be regarded as a willful young man who accepted the kindness forced by the barbarians and acted recklessly.

What a hero, the prince is only in his early 14s, already has such a strategy, and it will be limitless in the future.

Fortunately, the Gu family was destined to stand on the side of orthodoxy, otherwise they would be enemies of the prince, and I really don't know what kind of ravages they would suffer.

Gu Jian suddenly remembered the barbarians that the crown prince gave him to place before, and reported their latest situation, "Your Highness, those ten barbarian men have been interrogated and have been picked up by the minister. They have been diagnosed and treated by doctors. They have been treated. Because of their good skills in domesticating horses, there is a horse farm in Shangdang County, Taihang Mountain in His Highness's property. I plan to wait for them to recover and send them there to concentrate on raising horses for His Highness."

Taihang Mountain stretches for more than 800 miles from the Juma River Valley in the north to the north bank of the Yellow River on the border of Shanxi and Henan provinces in the south.Taihang Mountain is a natural barrier with a gentle slope in the west and a steep slope in the east. There are very few roads and it is inconvenient to walk. There are only eight trails to pass through. Therefore, it has become a dangerous pass that "one man guards the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it".

The mountains are high and there are many valleys. In the valleys, the slopes are gentle, dense forests are everywhere, and the water and grass are abundant. It is the best place to raise horses.

The appearance of the Hu people is different from that of the Han people, and they can be distinguished at a glance. The people are ignorant, and they have heard a lot of shocking news about the Hu people going south to plunder.But the place where the war horses were raised was different. Most of them were Hu people who moved south, or descendants of Hu-Han mixed blood. The group of people rescued by the prince lived with them and quickly integrated into the local area.

"It's really a good place." Shenlong nodded, recalling Feng Min's way of protecting the rice-husk Dawan horse, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Hey, what about the horse?"

"Knowing that it is a Dawan horse, how can I be willing to kill it. According to the confession of the Hu people, after confirming that the horse did respond to the concentration of the spices, I returned the horse to his care——Does Your Highness want to take it away?" Did it enter the palace?"

The rice husk-colored horse is indeed very human. When he found out that Feng Min was being taken away, he kept biting his clothes, trying to keep him. Gu Jian thought of it and felt that such a good horse really deserves better treatment.

But Shenlong refused coolly, "Feng Min has a deep affection for Dawan horse. If the horse is brought into the palace, Feng Min must be brought in with him so that no one can manage it. I don't intend to use him as a servant. So let Feng Min take that Dawan horse away. Tell Feng Min, when the Dawan horse gives birth to a foal, give me the most beautiful one."

"It's Your Highness." Shenlong left the room, and when he was about to go out, his eyes met the little official that Gu Jian deliberately brought with him.

He smiled and asked, "Sang Ji?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Thank you for guarding the door. You don't have to be so nervous next time. It doesn't matter if you open the doors and windows. The palace is vast, and a side hall usually has a length and width of five or six feet. I can't speak." After speaking, Shenlong stuffed a small golden pig ingot to Sang Ji, and left the room happily.

Gu Jian came out and found Sang Ji standing at the door in a daze, "Did your Highness scare you out of your mind by mentioning that you received money from others to see a doctor for your child?"

Sang Ji shook his head hastily, thinking of the baby at home who was waiting to be fed, and said bitterly: "Your Highness must not deliberately talk to run me down."

Sang Ji's wife and children were sick at the same time. He was already poor. Let alone two members of the family were sick, even one of them could not be cured. Actually sent 50 taels of silver.Sang Ji wanted to refuse the money, but seeing his wife and children who were dying of illness, he still accepted the money.

Although the wife's life could not be saved in the end, it is a blessing that the child survived after the illness dragged on for so long.

But also because of this, the official position of Sangji, which Gu Jian was optimistic about, has never been promoted.

Gu Jian patted the shoulder of the man he was looking for, "The child is still young, you can go back today, I will do the night duty."

Sang Ji smiled wryly, "The child will be taken care of by a nanny, the servant should go back, it will be time for Enke to start the exam in a few days."

The author has something to say:

Shenlong: You still don't understand the bad nature of men.

Courtier: Secretly untie your pants and look below.
