I am Da Song

Chapter 258 Investing in a Factory
In Renming Palace, a charcoal stove has been lit inside the house, and the charcoal fire in the golden charcoal stove is red, making the palace as warm as spring even in the cold winter of November.

The queen has been pregnant for more than nine months and is about to give birth.The medical officers summed up their experience, whether it is a "sour girl" or a "round up and down point", they all think that the queen's pregnancy is likely to be a king.

Therefore, the queen's mood became more and more beautiful, and she paced slowly in the palace every day with her stomach upright, exercising.

Supporting her was her most trusted court lady named Yan Ying, who was in charge of the affairs of Renming Palace.

But Zhao Huan always felt that this little maid was not suitable for this position, because Zhao Huan always felt that she was a bit silly and confused.

Perhaps to make up for Zhao Huan's impression of her, she always dresses up very neatly and smartly. Her long hair is tied behind her neck with a cyan gauze headband, and the transparent gauze headband is also tied in a beautiful knot.With a long light blue dress, she looks like a snow-capped lotus.

But the result is that under this refreshing and beautiful appearance, her confused attributes are more prominent.

The queen was tired from exercising, and when she was supported by Yan Ying to rest, she asked, "Yinger, what have the officials been up to lately?"

"Ah? Aren't you reading a book?" Yan Ying glanced at the emperor who was leaning on the soft couch and turning the pages of a book, and replied confidently.

"..."

"I'm asking what kind of books the official family has been reading recently? Didn't you see it when you helped the official family tidy up the desk?"

"Ah? I didn't pay attention. You are also interested in the saint? But I think reading is the most boring thing. I feel sleepy when I see so many words."

Zhu Lian looked at the beautiful and fresh girl beside him, shook his head helplessly, sighed softly, and said, "So even if you have support, you still can't compete with Tang Yi, and you can't be the head of the 24th Division of the Sixth Bureau."

"Ah? Isn't it because of Tang Yi's flattery and seduction? Use her body to seduce the officials."

"How come she has a body, don't you?"

"Huh? It's not because of your body, so why?"

Zhu Lian looked at the tall and fair-necked girl, and thought seriously, maybe the official's evaluation is indeed very correct?This little maid of mine is indeed very confused, and she can't afford to deal with complicated and trivial matters.

"Why is the saint looking at me like this? It seems to be looking at a waste? It seems to be angry."

What is like?

Zhu Lian took a deep breath, decided to avoid this question, and said, "Help me to the official's place."

"okay."

Zhu Lian walked up to Zhao Huan, leaned over to look at the various materials and documents on the soft couch, and asked softly, "What are the officials looking at? Since returning from Taixue that day, the officials have been flipping through the books."

The faint fragrance of hair came into his nose from the top of his head, Zhao Huan only felt refreshed and happy, and said with a smile: "The queen is finished walking? Sit down and rest. My child is about to be born. I have been thinking about what to do recently. Buy a family property for the child."

Zhu Lian carefully supported the back, sat on the soft couch, looked at Zhao Huan, and asked with a smile: "I heard that under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land is the king's minister. This world is full of officials. Why do the officials care about mere money?"

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "Qing's idea is wrong. If you think that the whole world is a plaything of the heavenly family, and you can get what you want, it will make the world poor and the heavenly fortune will die forever."

Zhu Lian smiled lightly and said, "I don't know much about politics as a woman. I just heard that most virtuous monarchs are frugal. Thrift is used to cultivate one's character, and quietness is used to cultivate oneself. As long as the palace is not built up, extravagance and waste will not disturb the people." If the kings of the past dynasties can restrict the palace and advocate frugality like officials, then why should the world worry about excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people will not be able to live?"

Zhao Huan said solemnly: "But it is precisely because the kings of all dynasties have failed to do this, the royal family has become a heavy burden for the whole world. When dynasties of all dynasties are destroyed, their kings are likely to be evil."

Regarding the crimes of the emperor of the feudal dynasty and the harm to the whole society, even the emperor Zhao Huan could not avoid it.

Unrestrained power will inevitably bring lawless evil.

Otherwise, the whole world would not have been looking forward to a virtuous and wise ruler, but would feel terrified of a foolish and tyrant ruler.

There is no need for Zhao Huan to say more about this, Zhu Lian also understands, and asked: "Then the official recently looked through the scrolls, thinking of a way to deal with it?"

Zhao Huan smiled and pinched her nose, and said: "No wonder the poet said that he has no colorful phoenix and two flying wings, but he has a good heart. I really thought of a good method recently."

"In the past, the royal family was always supported by the world, so it became a heavy burden for the whole world. But you must know that the royal family has the most abundant resources in the world, so why can't they support themselves?"

Speaking of which, Zhao Huan closed the book in his hand, looked at Zhu Lian and said, "Your Majesty, don't treat me as the emperor now. You and I are ordinary couples, so how should we make a living? How can we raise our children?"

Zhu Lian thought about it seriously, and replied: "It's probably the same as other outsiders. They buy a farm and property, hire hundreds of tenant farmers, and then run a few shops and do a business."

Speaking of this, Zhu Lian burst out laughing, looked at Zhao Huan and said, "I can't imagine that the official is potbellied, pacing with his hands behind his back, and the philistine looks a little arrogant."

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Wow! In my heart, Qing is peerless and beautiful. In Qing's heart, I am actually a greasy official. But I thought that Qing would call a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman, and sell wine like a slave."

"Hahaha." The Queen smiled sweetly.

After the joke, Zhao Huan got back to business and said: "Although what Qing said is simple, it has already summarized a picture of a prosperous age. The country is strong, the world is peaceful, there is nothing wrong in all directions, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Now our dynasty has basically everything, and there are Create the conditions for prosperity."

"In this peaceful and prosperous age, the royal family is no different from ordinary people. They should develop production and accumulate wealth."

"As Qing said, this typical family outside the family has the conditions that the royal family actually has. Then why can't the royal family seek their own benefits and support themselves?"

Zhu Lian suddenly asked, "Does the official family want to run an imperial business?"

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "After returning from Taixue, I was deeply inspired. Since the country wants to vigorously encourage industry and commerce, and the royal family has a lot of resources, why not invest in setting up factories?"

"Whether it's running a bank, a steel mill, a shipyard, or even a textile workshop or a ceramics workshop, it will increase the production capacity of Dasong. It's better than tens of millions of money piling up in Zuokuzang and getting moldy."

Zhu Lian asked worriedly: "Will it cause controversy and be accused of competing with the people for profit?"

Zhao Huan waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Qing is soft-tempered and has always cared too much about other people's opinions. Even if I drink saliva, these scholar-bureaucrats can find a lot of problems, and I will listen to their opinions. I don't need to do anything. Done."

"I don't believe it. I run a shipyard and can make people's lives difficult."
