The Queen of the Red Chamber is a little flustered

In the early morning of the next day, Yong Hao went outside on his short legs, ready to say hello to Gu Qinyuan and Tu Mingjin. Seeing that the door was closed tightly, Su Qitai immediately bent over and lowered his voice. Said: "My lord, the prince and concubine are not up yet."

Yong Hao wrinkled his bun face.The mother and concubine need to sleep more when she is pregnant. The nanny told him, but why hasn't the father woke up yet?

Just when he was wondering, Tu Mingjin heard the sound outside, gently moved Gu Qinyuan aside, lowered his head and kissed her flushed sleeping face, then tucked her in the quilt, then put on his coat and went out.

Seeing Tu Mingjin coming out from inside, Yonghao said happily, "Father."

Tu Mingjin gestured to Yonghao and took him to the front yard. Before leaving, he specifically told the servant girls to call Gu Qinyuan again in an hour.

After breakfast, Tu Mingjin didn't go to the household department in a hurry, and simply sat with Yonghao at the desk and told him about the debt owed by the household department.

Yonghao has rarely been hugged by Tu Mingjin since he was four years old, and he is still a little shy now, with a small voice, "Father, my son sits by himself."

Tu Mingjin smiled and said, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, he put Yong Hao aside, took out the account book and explained it to him in detail.

Hearing Tu Mingjin say that the courtiers don't want to pay back the money, Yonghao looked up at Tu Mingjin, very puzzled and said: "It's a matter of course to pay back the debt, even the son knows, don't those ministers know?" Just like him, Sometimes I borrow books from Gu's cousin to read, but I have to return them.

Tu Mingjin said: "How could they not know, it's just a fluke." He added: "If you don't mention the debt in advance, you can understand the account book?"

As small as a family or as large as a country, the word money is indispensable. Otherwise, why would the court set up a special household department to manage money.People who say "money is like dung" have never suffered.

Tu Mingjin didn't intend to raise his son into a son who didn't know the world, so these things should naturally be taught to him early.

Before Yonghao went to the front yard to study, Gu Qinyuan often took him to read the account books, from as small as the price of an egg to as large as the annual output of Zhuangzi, and told him bit by bit, subtly, he himself Gradually understand.

Yonghao said: "My concubine taught me."

Tu Mingjin touched Yonghao's head with a smile, and said, "Not bad."

"But the number is too big, I can't count it." Yong Hao said with some embarrassment, rubbing his fingers.

With such a young son, Tu Mingjin was pleasantly surprised to be able to understand a small part, so how could he be dissatisfied, and immediately said: "Father will teach you."

Both the father and the son wrote and drew on a piece of paper, and when the accounts on one page were settled, Tu Mingjin patted Yonghao on the back and said: "There is no hurry for the rest, you haven't practiced martial arts with the martial arts master today, go first Martial arts arena."

"Yeah." Yong Hao nodded in response, and led Xiao Manzi to the martial arts arena.

It was Sishi when she was woken up, Gu Qinyuan half-closed her eyes, feeling numb and numb in her heart, her body was lazy and had no energy, so she half leaned on the pillow and let her twist the handkerchief.

After washing up, Gu Qinyuan asked, "Where are the prince and the eldest son?"

"The lord has gone to the household department, and the eldest son is in the study." Miwa said.

As soon as he got out of the room after putting on his clothes, Yonghao came in from the outside, saw Gu Qinyuan, stepped forward to hold her arm, and whispered: "Concubine Mu got up very late today."

Gu Qinyuan felt very embarrassed when she heard this, her cheeks were slightly flushed, she stretched out her hands to pinch Yonghao's face, and said with a smile, "Can I eat something?"

"Eat with the father." Helping Gu Qinyuan to sit down, Yong Hao turned to Xiao Manzi and said, "Let the kitchen bring the food."

After the food was set, Yonghao said earnestly: "Mother and concubine must eat on time, otherwise the younger brothers and sisters in the stomach will be hungry."

"Okay, I'll write it down." Listening to her son's nagging, Gu Qinyuan couldn't help but support her forehead. She can't mess around like this in the future. Fortunately, she sent Madam Zhao to work two days ago, otherwise there would be one more person nagging today .

Whether there is any nonsense afterwards is a matter for the husband and wife. Of course, the eunuch girl who is watching the night also knows.

To talk about the most popular thing in the capital in recent days, it is natural that several princes sent people to take the money to the household department to write off the account, and then the Gu family, Rongning second mansion and Baolinghou's mansion all went to the household department to pay back the money one by one.

Seeing this posture, some timid officials also packed up their money and went to the household department.

In less than half a month, millions of taels of silver were shipped to the treasury.Of course, this is only a small part, and the bulk has not yet been recovered.

But as soon as this good start started, Tu Mingjin led the officials of the household department to each house.

After summer, [-]% of the arrears were collected.

Emperor Tiansheng was very happy when the imperial court became rich.Both the fourth prince and Tu Mingjin were rewarded.

"Father is too unfair." Gu Qinyuan frowned, "It is obvious that you brought people to the various mansions to collect debts, and offended so many people, but the rewards in the mansion are still the same as those in Yu Wang's mansion." She really didn't expect to use that To feed the family with something is to feel wronged for Tu Mingjin.

Tu Mingjin put his arms around her waist, stroked her back with his big palms, and said indifferently: "What's the matter, my father can see what I do or not, not to mention that the court has money so it can run smoothly."

This collection of accounts, on the surface, seems to have offended many people, but there are also many invisible benefits underneath.Going family by family, the civil and military officials of the whole court, and even the emperor's uncle who is retired in the clan, have seen it once. For the current situation of the court, Tu Mingjin is even more aware of it.

After being so comforted by him, Gu Qinyuan was no longer angry. Anyway, the husband and wife have never seen him suffer a disadvantage in so many years.

Thinking of the chaos in the capital in the past few months, Gu Qinyuan said: "If you want me to say, if the emperor specially appointed a few officials to take over the shipping and do business in the name of the government earlier, it would not be a short time. I will be chasing people to pay back the money in a while."

The mansion bought ten boats at the beginning, and the first time they went to sea, the things brought back by one boat were paid back. After a few years, not to mention a million taels, there are still hundreds of thousands.

If the official goes to sea, escorted by the army, and a few stewards who can do business, it will not cause the court to be short of money.

Tu Mingjin smiled, and then said: "Yuanyuan thought that Father Emperor hadn't planned this before?"

Gu Qinyuan turned her head to look at him, if she really planned, would this situation happen?

Seeing her inconceivable expression, Tu Mingjin snorted, "Those elders in Yushitai who are about to lose all their teeth kneel in front of the father, and can't compete with the people one by one, how can the father be embarrassed. "

Gu Qinyuan felt that it was difficult to explain in a single word, because of the fame of the idea, she was shackled by others everywhere. Is it interesting for the emperor to do this?

"But salt and iron are all government-owned." Gu Qinyuan curled her lips and said, "And there is no way for ordinary people to go to sea."

"Father doesn't know, it's just..." Tu Mingjin shook his head and didn't continue.

Gu Qinyuan understood what he meant, but she was worried.

Thinking about it this way, with such a father who values ​​power and saves face, life for the princes is not easy.Gu Qinyuan patted Tu Mingjin's hand, comforting silently.

Tu Mingjin laughed, "Yuanyuan loves me?"

Of course Gu Qinyuan could hear the teasing in her tone, she glanced at him, and made a gesture to get up.

Tu Mingjin held her back, put her cheek against her cheek, and said softly, "Let me hug her for a while."

Gu Qinyuan stretched out her fingers to caress his face, the tiredness in her eyes made her feel distressed, so she said, "Go to bed and sleep."

"It's okay, it's rare that my father has two days off, so I'll spend more time with you." As he said, Tu Mingjin looked down at Gu Qinyuan's stomach, feeling worried.

The belly of almost eight months was astonishingly big, and Tu Mingjin didn't dare to get too close to her when she was sleeping at night, for fear of pressing her down.

Zhao Nanny advised them to sleep in separate beds, but Gu Qinyuan was not used to it because Tu Mingjin was not by her side, so she did not agree.

"What did the imperial doctor say when he came to ask for a safe pulse?" Tu Mingjin asked while touching Gu Qinyuan's stomach.

"The two in my stomach are growing well, and they will be born in another month." This pregnancy was not stable. At first, Gu Qinyuan couldn't eat anything. Fortunately, there was a clear spring, plus Tu Mingjin and Yong Yong. The careful care of Hao and his son finally made it to the time of delivery.

"In two days, I will go to the palace and talk to the queen mother, and ask the imperial hospital to send someone to the mansion, and go back after confinement." After finishing speaking, Tu Mingjin thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you invite me this time?" Mother-in-law coming?"

The old lady is almost sixty now, how could Gu Qinyuan dare to tire her anymore, she immediately waved her hand and said: "No, there are nuns watching, besides, my health has always been very good."

Tu Mingjin was still worried, the one in his arms was his darling, and the two baby bumps in his stomach were the children he had been waiting for for a long time, so there could be no mistakes.

I thought in my heart that the people from the Imperial Hospital had to be prepared, and the quack doctor recommended by Xu Huaisheng had to be invited to the mansion.

Afterwards, Tu Mingjin really called the imperial physician and the charlatan to live in his residence.Asking for the Ping An pulse three times a day annoyed Gu Qinyuan, and wanted to hide from the doctor when he saw the doctor.

But the father and son were more anxious than the other, so Gu Qinyuan had no choice but to admit that one was her husband and the other was her own cub, let them forget it.

In fact, Gu Qinyuan's current age is just the best time to have a child, her body and bones are already mature, even two children will be easier than when she gave birth to Yonghao.

It was because she was pregnant with two and her stomach was too big that the people around her were terrified.

Gu Qinyuan hasn't given birth yet, but the capital is bustling.

Several generals from the north led back to Beijing to change defenses. The eldest prince’s uncle Li Guogong, Tu Mingjin’s companion at the time, Shen Zhenxiao, who was studying at the Marquis of Xuanping’s residence, and a few more generals wore armor and led soldiers into the city on tall horses. Awe-inspiring and heroic.Many people gathered around the street to watch in amazement.

Today's Great Qi is Taiping, the border gate rarely sends letters to the capital every year except for autumn and winter, let alone so many generals enter the capital, it is rare for the common people to take a look at it, but don't pay more.

Jia Daishan was standing on the second floor of the tea house along the street, with a flash of envy in his eyes, the past cannot be recalled, thinking that he was also a figure who used a big sword, rode a big horse, and crossed the battlefield.

When Jia Daihua saw his cousin's expression, he knew what he was thinking, and reached out to pat Jia Daishan on the shoulder, "Okay, it's good to live in peace and stability now, besides, there is no war now, they are just at the border Eat sand."

"However, you said, how come you are so active this year when you change defenses every few years?" Jia Daihua felt strange.

Having said that, Jia Daishan also felt that something was wrong.

The two Jia brothers were thinking about Tiansheng Emperor's intentions. Over there, Tu Mingjin was throwing a banquet for Shen Zhenxiao who had returned to Beijing.

He Xuan pointed to Xu Huaisheng beside him and introduced to Shen Zhenxiao, "This is our colleague, Xu Huaisheng." As he spoke, he whispered in Shen Zhenxiao's ear: "He married the servant girl next to the princess."

Shen Zhenxiao understood as soon as he heard it, and immediately toasted Xu Huaisheng, "Brother Xu."

Xu Huaisheng got up, smiled and said: "General Shen, I have long admired you."

Shen Zhenxiao's eyes lit up, he didn't like to hear people call him little general, Xu Huaisheng was quite sensible.

The confidants below can get along well, Tu Mingjin nodded, expressing satisfaction.
