Zhan Zhumen

Zhang Fu and Mu Yan found their horses and got on them.

Weng and his son-in-law rode on horses and walked slowly side by side on the royal road.

"When does father-in-law think the emperor will officially move the capital?"

Zhang Fu fought together when Emperor Yongkang was still the King of Yan, and he knew the emperor very well.If he doesn't mention today's matter, the emperor will not let him go.He just said what the emperor wanted to say for him.

As a courtier, can you still go against the emperor?
The birthday boy is going to hang himself, do you think his life is too long?

"Even if millions of civilians and soldiers are recruited to build the Forbidden City, it will take several years. I am afraid that it will not be possible in the next few years. But we can make some preparations."

Once the capital is moved, most of the court officials will still move to Beijing.Zhang Fu is very self-aware, it is absolutely impossible for him to stay in Nanjing.

Then the Zhang family will also move to Beijing.

This family is considered easy, and this family's relocation is definitely not just talking about it.

Zhang Fu felt that his head was big. As the patriarch, he only felt that there were a lot of things and chaos.

Glancing at his son-in-law, "I'm afraid your family won't miss it."

It is impossible for this son-in-law to stay in Nanjing as the proton of the Guizhou government, which is in charge of the military, government and people's livelihood of the province.

The Duke of Qian's Mansion is now the king of Yunnan, can Emperor Yongkang rest assured?Can you be more careful?
Mu Yan nodded: "Well, my son-in-law knows. I have also made some preparations for moving the capital over the years."

She smiled again, "Xi'er went to Beijing to buy a house a few years ago. Father-in-law doesn't have to worry about not having a house to live in."

Zhang Fu also remembered that year, when he fought in Mobei, when he left the city, he saw a girl disguised as a man in the crowd.

She also smiled, "My daughter thinks long-term, I'm not as good as her."

Even though he knew in his heart that the emperor was going to move the capital, talking about it was not the same as issuing an edict and announcing it to the world.

Moreover, although his ancestors are from the north, he was born and raised in the north, but he has lived in Nanjing for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the southern climate. Moreover, the Zhang family finally moved here, and it is not easy to move back to the north.

Thinking about it is a bunch of troubles.

forget about it.

"My daughter-in-law has made enough preparations early, so I, as a father, can wait to enjoy my daughter's happiness, and I will leave it to my daughter."

Mu Yan looked at him and smiled.Father-in-law cherishes his son, so he naturally treats Lord Taishan as his own father.

"Tomorrow, I will take a rest, and I will bring Xiao Yuer to my house for dinner. If I don't see Xiao Yuer again, he will forget me as a grandfather."

Mu Yan wanted to roll her eyes, Xi'er and Xiao Yu'er still rarely go back to her mother's house?That's him, he doesn't talk about any rules, otherwise, which wife would go back to her mother's house over and over again?

And obviously only met Xiao Yuer a few days ago.

"Xiao Yu'er asked us two days ago what he caught when he was catching Zhou. Xi'er said that he caught the wooden sword carved by Grandpa. His eyes lit up amazingly when he heard that, and he also said that he wanted to be like Grandpa. General."

Speaking of his son, Mu Yan had a big smile on his face.

"Hahaha. Xiao Yuer is doing well."

Zhang Fu really loved this little grandson so much, if it wasn't for the yamen's business, he would have wanted Mu Yan to take Xi'er and Xiao Yu'er back to her mother's house now.

"Tomorrow, I must remember to bring them home."

"My son-in-law made a note of it."

At night, Mu Yan watched Huo Xi coax Xiao Yuer to sleep, stretched out her long arms, and hugged Xiao Yuer to the side of the bed.

"Be gentle, don't wake him up. Just let him sleep between us."

In the middle of sleep?Isn't it in his way?
Let Xiao Yu'er sleep with them instead of sending him to find a nanny, it is his generosity.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll turn over and crush my son in the middle of the night?"

Huo Xi thought for a while, and it seemed the same.This long-armed and long-legged, Xiao Yuer has a short body, if he is pressed down, the two of them are asleep and don't realize it, they will suffer.

Seeing that Huo Xi didn't insist any longer, Mu Yan was overjoyed, covered her son with a quilt, stretched out another quilt, and covered Huo Xi in it...

Afterwards, the two hugged each other to calm down, Huo Xi was a little dazed from exhaustion, and half-closed his eyes.

"At the court meeting today, officials from the Ministry of Rites proposed to move the capital, and the emperor agreed."

Huo Xi opened his eyes, "The officials from the Ministry of Rites mentioned it?"

"Officials from the Ministry of Rites are not the emperor's tongue!"

"Aren't the censors making trouble?"

"Why don't you make a fuss? You choked on the ground with your head. I felt my teeth hurt when I heard it. There were a few censors who were going to hit the pillars and were pulled away. Otherwise, blood would splatter on the spot." Tsk tsk tsk.

"How can a courtier beat the emperor."

"No."

"Then when will the capital be moved?"

"I asked my father-in-law, and my father-in-law said that it might take several years to build the Forbidden City, and I'm afraid it won't happen in these few years."

Huo Xi recalled the history of another time and space. The Forbidden City in Beijing cost millions of people and took five years to complete.History will turn a corner, but there should not be much difference.

"Five years should be about the same."

"How do you know?"

"I have sharp eyes. And judging from the speed at which Beiping City has been built over the years, I'm afraid it won't take five years."

"However, when Beiping City was built, there was still surplus silver in the national treasury. In recent years, various expenses have been consumed. Look at the Changling Tomb. Although Empress Wen was buried in the past, the buildings in the Changling Tomb have not yet been completed. .”

The manpower is sufficient, and the emperor dares not to obey when the emperor orders.But it is in vain if there is no money to open the way.

"You said that the matter of moving the capital was decided by the emperor a long time ago. Where there is a shortage of money, there will be no shortage of the construction of the Forbidden City."

The emperor wanted to do one thing, but didn't he try to find a way to do it well?It is not easy to have no money, copy the homes of a few salt merchants, and you have everything.

Thinking of something, Huo Xi was stunned.

"What's the matter?" Mu Yan stroked her soft arm and looked down at her.

"You said, is it short of money to build the Forbidden City?"

Mu Yan nodded, "What do you want to do?"

How else could the husband and wife agree with each other, Huo Xi just mentioned it, and Mu Yan knew what she wanted to do.Huo Xi leaned up and pecked on his lips, causing Mu Yan not to let her go, deepening the kiss.

After a while, Huo Xi pushed him away, "I have something serious to discuss with you."

"You said."

"I was thinking, is it right that the emperor is short of silver, then we will give him the silver and exchange some things with him."

"What to change?"

Huo Xi then told Mu Yan what was in his mind, and Mu Yan was stunned.

"Are you willing?"

"White sugar and rock sugar have brought us a lot of wealth over the years. With the sugar workshop, our annual income is no worse than that of the salt merchant. Moreover, we have hidden it for so many years, and it is impossible to hide it these years. Fans often come Jing searched and wanted to buy sugar. I happened to use the method of making sugar to exchange it with the emperor."

Mu Yan thought for a long time, "It's fine, we'll go back to the British government tomorrow, and we'll discuss it with my father-in-law before making a decision."

"Go back to the British government tomorrow?"

"Well, my father-in-law said he misses Xiao Yuer. I'm afraid Xiao Yuer will forget him."

Huo Xi couldn't help laughing: "I haven't seen you for a few days, no matter how young Xiao Yuer is, it's impossible for him to forget grandpa so quickly."

"Aren't you happy that your father-in-law loves Xiao Yu'er? Go to sleep, get up early tomorrow, and go back early."

The husband and wife stopped talking and lay down together hugging each other. After a while, they fell asleep.
