I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 179 If It's Possible, I Promise You

in the cave.

Li Yaoyue was lying on the bed.

There was a rustling sound from next door.

And the faint sound of inhalation.

She took a deep breath and tried her best not to think about those messy things.

But she is not a heartless person after all.

Thinking that this is her bridal chamber wedding night.

The cold eyes still flickered, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in my heart.

time flies.

The voice next door gradually weakened.

The moonlight shone into the room, as if a layer of frost had formed on the ground, just like her mood at the moment.

Unknown birdsong came from outside the house.

Li Yaoyue let out a breath of turbid air slowly, feeling her body relaxed a bit, she stopped thinking wildly, and slowly closed her eyes.

bedside.

The candles flickered slightly.

It reflected her delicate face, with tired eyes.

The next morning.

Next room.

Wu Mingkong straightened up lazily, stretched out his white lotus arms, and let out a comfortable moan.

A refreshed look.

Eyes like the starry sky looked out of the house, and suddenly found that he was not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

In the next second, some pictures suddenly appeared in her mind, and her pretty face flushed instantly.

Silently retracted the quilt again, closed his eyes, and pretended not to wake up.

On the side, Fang Xiu was lying there, watching this scene, couldn't help chuckling, lifted the quilt, and whispered softly:
"Did Your Majesty sleep well last night?"

Wu Mingkong's long eyelashes trembled slightly, his red lips were tightly closed, and he did not speak.

Fang Xiu raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to caress the ends of his hair, and said softly, "I slept very well last night."

snort!
It's not you who are tired, of course I slept well!
The little empress knew that pretending to be asleep was useless, so she opened her eyes, looked at him, pouted her lips, and hummed: "Next time, don't let me... let me use my hands and feet."

Fang Xiu smiled and said, "Then what does His Majesty want to do?"

Wu Mingkong shrank back under the quilt, and said softly, "Do nothing."

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows, looked at her, and said, "Okay, that minister will not do anything."

The little empress became anxious instantly, and blurted out: "No!"

This is called... Food Marrow Knowing Taste?
Fang Xiu looked at her with a smile in his eyes, but didn't speak.

Seeing his eyes, Wu Mingkong instantly realized what he had just said.

Stretching out her soft little hand, covering her flushed little face... Woohoo, I'm ashamed to see anyone.

at this time.

Fang Xiu held her little hand, leaned over to kiss her, and said softly, "I heard...there is also a saying about morning exercises..."

Wu Mingkong was slightly taken aback, but didn't understand what it meant.

Then I saw him holding his little hand again...

"Damn traitor!"

Wu Mingkong's red lips were tightly closed, his pretty face was flushed red, he closed his eyes tightly, and completely gave up struggling.

Think of it as compensation for his failure to consummate the marriage with the bride.

Whatever he wants...

…………

I do not know how long it has been.

There is a familiar smell in the room.

It is a light floral fragrance.

[Emotion value +10000]

Wu Mingkong blushed, cast a glance at Fang Xiu, and hummed, "Are you going to stay indoors all day?"

Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Why not?"

Wu Mingkong snorted and said: "Then you stay here alone, I'm going back to the palace!"

Saying that, he put on his clothes slowly, turned around, jumped off the bed and ran outside.

I was afraid that it would be a second late.

A certain traitor couldn't control himself and wanted her to retort.

It is hard to stick to the bottom line, and never give up easily.

Fang Xiu looked at her somewhat embarrassed back, couldn't help but chuckled, and didn't make things difficult for her, and started to get up and change clothes.

the other side.

Wu Mingkong pushed open the door and saw two figures standing in the courtyard.

She was dressed in white and held a folding fan, standing upright with fluttering sleeves.

It was Shangguan Haitang.

Wu Mingkong skipped her and looked aside.

Li Yaoyue took off her phoenix coronet and Xiapei, and changed into a black long skirt, with blue silk like a waterfall, hanging down her waist.

His cold eyes were also looking at her, his face was as cold as frost, as if there was no emotion involved.

The little empress looked at her, wanted to say something, but felt that it was unnecessary, she looked away, looked at Shangguan Haitang, and ordered: "Go get a basin of warm water and bring it to the house."

Shangguan Haitang glanced at Li Yaoyue, cupped her hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Yaoyue doesn't know martial arts and doesn't have any weapons on her body, so she can't pose any threat to the empress and master.

It's okay to leave for a while.

Shangguan Haitang thought so, turned and left the courtyard.

Wu Mingkong wanted to go back to the palace, but when he saw Li Yaoyue, he changed his mind, and after giving some instructions, he turned and went back to the house.

Leaving Li Yaoyue standing alone.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes.

She looked at Wu Mingkong's back, and the complicated emotions in her heart surged up again.

In any case, she didn't expect it.

This stunningly beautiful woman who slept with Fang Xiu turned out to be the empress of Qian Kingdom—Wu Mingkong!

It took a long time for her to recover from the state of shock, regain her cold expression, and after a moment of silence, she turned and returned to the bridal chamber.

In the next room.

Fang Xiu looked at the little empress who had gone and returned, raised his eyebrows, and teased, "Your Majesty misses you again?"

Pooh!
If it weren't for the fear that you couldn't control yourself, who would stay and watch!

Wu Mingkong spat in his heart, and said angrily, "Shameless!"

Before Fang Xiu could refute, he changed the subject and said:
"It's getting colder outside. When are you going to sell those anthracites?"

Fang Xiudao: "When did the minister say he was going to sell it?"

Wu Mingkong was startled, and said blankly: "If you don't sell it, how will the poor people spend the winter?"

Fang Xiu said leisurely: "Your Majesty thinks that if anthracite is sold, will it be the poor people who buy more, or the honorable families who buy more?"

Wu Mingkong understood what he meant, he just felt that the poor people couldn't even get the money for anthracite.

By the time.

Anthracite will still be bought by dignitaries or merchants.

If the price is too low, those people may hoard anthracite and resell it for high profits.

Wu Mingkong frowned slightly, and said:
"Of course the noble family buys a lot, but if they don't sell it, what can we do?"

"You can't stay in the warehouse forever."

Fang Xiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that I said before that you want to build roads?"

Wu Mingkong looked at him and nodded: "I remember."

Fang Xiudao: "I need to use a kind of raw material to build roads, which is called limestone. This kind of stone is distributed in various places. Some places have more and some places have less. I plan to let the local governments call on the people to use the winter time. mine this stone."

Not finished yet.

Wu Mingkong frowned tightly:
"The people are already in hardship, especially in winter. Even if they do nothing and save food as much as possible, they are still barely able to make ends meet. If there is more labor, it may cause a civil uprising."

The poor people living at the bottom have enough burdens on them.

Only in winter, affected by the climate, apart from military service, the imperial court will not impose other corvees.

If they are asked to mine stones again, there is not enough food, and it will take a lot of effort, which will simply drive them to a dead end.

At that time, as long as someone raises his arms and shouts, princes, generals, and ministers, they would rather have kindness, then a single spark can start a prairie fire.

therefore.

Even if the limestone had many benefits, she would not agree to this request.

at this time.

Fang Xiudao: "Your Majesty has misunderstood, calling on the people is not to increase labor."

Wu Mingkong looked at him with doubts in his eyes.

To let the local governments call on the people to mine stones, isn't it just to increase labor?

Fang Xiudao: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the anthracite mine?"

Wu Mingkong nodded: "I remember."

Fang Xiudao:
"What I have to do is to imitate the anthracite mines and mine ores everywhere, not only limestone, but also iron ore and copper mines."

"All miners are free of board and lodging, and receive a tael of silver every month. In addition, they can bring their families to do some chores in the mine, such as boiling water and cooking."

Hearing this, Wu Mingkong's eyes lit up, and then he seemed to think of something, and frowned again, saying:
"The imperial court doesn't have that much food, nor does it have that much silver."

Fang Xiudao: "The imperial court doesn't have that much food, but the officials have it, the nobles have it, and the gentry have it."

Wu Mingkong was startled, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, "You mean to call on them to donate food?"

Fang Xiu thought for a while, and said, "That's almost what it means."

Get a positive answer.

Wu Mingkong's expression became a little strange, he stood on tiptoe, put his hand on Fang Xiu's forehead, and muttered to himself: "Could it be because I was too excited last night and my brain is broken."

Fang Xiu: "."

He stretched out his hand and patted the little female emperor's lotus root arm, and said angrily: "If you are so sly, I will spank your ass!"

Wu Mingkong pouted and hummed, "I didn't learn it from you."

Fang Xiu was noncommittal.

Wu Mingkong was silent for a moment, and said, "I think it's not so easy for them to donate food, right?"

Fang Xiu said indifferently: "Those grains are the foundation of their lives, and their lives, of course not."

Wu Mingkong frowned, and said: "The Emperor Zhou just implemented the new policy, and he ended up like this. Wouldn't it be even more excessive for you to snatch food from them?"

Fang Xiudao:
"I never said that I want to grab food. In fact, what I want is to let them hand over the food willingly."

"Not only willingly, but also scrambling to be the first!"

As soon as this word comes out.

Even the little empress, who had great trust in Fang Xiu, couldn't help showing suspicion.

Let the nobles and gentry scramble to donate food to the court?
How is this possible!
You know, even if Dagan is facing the crisis of subjugation, these guys may not do this!
after all.

For them, as long as the food and land are still there, it doesn't matter who the owner of the country is!

Thinking of this.

Wu Mingkong's eyes showed a hint of worry, he looked at Fang Xiu, and said:

"Fang Xiu, don't scare me, or we should go to the imperial doctor."

The tone is sincere, not like joking.

The corner of Fang Xiu's mouth twitched, he stretched out his hand to pat her buttocks, and said viciously:

"If your majesty doesn't want to limp out of the house, just be quiet!"

"you!"

Wu Mingkong's pretty face instantly flushed red.

Her majestic Son of Heaven, was actually spanked twice by this traitor within a month.

Hateful traitor!
Damn!

[Emotion value +2000]

"Humph!"

Wu Mingkong subconsciously rubbed the place where he was beaten, stared at Fang Xiu, and said angrily: "Then tell me, how can you make those people hand over the food willingly?"

Except for those people who all became insane overnight, otherwise, such a thing would never happen anyway!

"I would like to ask Your Majesty a question. If you want someone to do things for the court sincerely, what is the best way?"

Fang Xiu looked at Wu Mingkong and asked.

Wu Mingkong thought for a moment, then replied: "Benefit and might."

Fang Xiu nodded and said slowly:

"The majesty of the imperial court is not enough to make the gentry hand over food willingly, so they can only give enough benefits."

"As long as they realize that after handing over the food, they can harvest more, and they will definitely not resist."

Wu Mingkong was silent for a moment, and said leisurely: "I think you think things too simply. Whether it is a hundred officials or nobles, or a powerful gentry, they are the ones who don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, unless they can get benefits in a short period of time. Otherwise they wouldn't be willing to take any risk, it's human nature."

Fang Xiu said indifferently: "What if I have a way to make them gain benefits in a short period of time?"

Wu Mingkong said: "This is impossible."

Fang Xiu smiled and asked, "Why is it impossible?"

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu, groaned, and said, "Don't be fooled, tell me quickly what you plan to do."

she knows.

Fang Xiu has never been a targetless person.

Since he said that, he must have been prepared long ago.

Fang Xiu didn't speak, but reached out and tapped his cheek.

Traitor!Color embryo!
Knowing that I would be shy, you still want me to do what these little girls would do.

Nasty is dead.

Wu Mingkong's pretty face was blushing, and he rolled his eyes at him, then tiptoed lightly, and kissed him on the cheek.

With a shy look, he turned his face away and hummed: "Now we can talk about it."

The corner of Fang Xiu's mouth curled up into a smile, like an old fox who had successfully cheated, and continued:
"I plan to set up a few more stores to sell fireworks, soap, rouge, distilled wine, refined salt, colored glass and other commodities, and invite them to become shareholders and share dividends every year."

"Besides, I also need to set up a chamber of commerce. Anyone who pays a certain membership fee can join in, buy goods from the shops under my name at cost price, and share the sales."

"In this way, the commodities mentioned by the minister just now can become popular all over the country in a short period of time, and merchants will try their best to maintain their interests after they get benefits."

"The same is true for officials and gentry. They will definitely understand that if they want to earn more money, they have to open shops all over the country, not just in Dagan."

"I don't need to do anything, they will think about opening up the market, donating money, and letting the court conquer the countries."

"Even if some people get rich and just want to keep it safe, the money and food they buy and join are enough for a minister to use for a period of time."

Wu Mingkong fell into deep thought when he heard this.

To be honest, it was the first time she had heard of some words, such as investing in shares and joining in.

But combined with the upper and lower sentences, the meaning can also be guessed roughly.

Such a long paragraph, in short, is to benefit the people.

Use the interests of various commodities to tie them with the imperial court and let them know that they and the imperial court will be both prosperous and prosperous, and will be harmed by each other.

This changed them from the outsiders who were watching the fire from the other side to the insiders who "protected the interests of the court, that is, protected their own interests".

It sounds good, but the actual effect is still unknown.

Still, it's a solid solution.

It is not certain that those gentry can really donate money and food on their own initiative.

Thinking of this.

Wu Mingkong looked at Fang Xiu with a bright smile in his eyes.

Before he could speak, she suddenly tiptoed and touched his lips lightly.

Then, leaning over to his ear, said softly:

"If it is feasible, I will promise you. As a reward."

After finishing speaking, he returned to his original position and stood there slim and graceful.

He bowed his head slightly, shy and timid.

The pretty face was flushed and hot.

Fang Xiu's heart seemed to have an electric current rushing through it, it was numb.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he leaned over Wu Mingkong's ear and kissed it lightly.

moment.

Wu Mingkong's delicate body trembled, and his breathing became short of breath.

at this time.

The waves of heat rang in her ears with a gentle voice.

"What His Majesty said... retorted?"

Wu Mingkong's pretty face flushed red, he glared at him, gritted his teeth and said:
"Good words, how come they become so strange when they come out of your mouth!"

"You are not allowed to mention this word in the future!"

Looking angry from embarrassment, with his hips akimbo, aggressive.

The absence of denial represents an answer.

Fang Xiu chuckled, and said: "The word itself is nothing, it is His Majesty who insists on giving it different meanings."

"Obviously you made me think so on purpose!"

Wu Mingkong snorted, seeing the smile on his face, suddenly felt that it was pointless to argue with this hateful traitor, turned his head away, and didn't bother to talk to him.

[Emotion value +2000]

Seeing this, Fang Xiu smiled, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said softly:
"Okay, I admit my mistake, Your Majesty, don't be angry, anger is not good for your health."

The little empress blush slightly, curled up in his arms, and said in a bad mood:

"Then you are always angry with me."

Fang Xiu put his arms around her slender waist, and spoke softly:
"I will try my best not to make His Majesty angry in the future."

Not only because of reluctance.

It's also because the little emotional value added by anger is really dwarfed by sharing the same bed.

Wu Mingkong was slightly startled, raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiu, his eyes were shining, and asked: "Really?"

Fang Xiu said solemnly: "If a gentleman says a word, it's hard to catch up with four horses!"

Wu Mingkong saw his solemn expression, as if he was reading some important oath, and his heart was sweet.

The happiness of being cared for by the sweetheart is enough to fill a girl's heart.

Her pretty face was flushed, her small head was pressed against Fang Xiu's chest, smelling the faint scent of osmanthus on his body, listening to the regular heartbeat, she felt unprecedentedly satisfied.

There was silence for a moment.

She lowered her voice and said intermittently:
"Actually, if you like it, it's not impossible. But you can't always make me angry."

The innocent little empress thought that Fang Xiu always annoyed her for no reason, it was some unknown strange hobby.

After all, Shang Gong once said that many men are like this.

Even a child of eight or nine years old, when they see a girl they like, will pull her hair and deliberately make her angry.

Hearing this, Fang Xiu was silent for a moment, hugged her even tighter, leaned over her ear, and said softly, "From now on, I will try to only do what your Majesty likes."

"Color embryo."

Wu Mingkong didn't know what to think of, blushed up to the ears, and spat.

Fang Xiu really wanted to ask: Why do you want to do what His Majesty likes, that is, sex?

After thinking about it, he swallowed back the original words.

He stretched out his hand, picked her up by the waist, and walked towards the bed.

The little empress was startled, and looked at him timidly:
"What are you doing!"

Fang Xiu chuckled lightly and said casually:
"Your Majesty, don't you think that after the morning exercise, what's missing?"

"What's missing?"

"Afternoon practice."

Wu Mingkong's pretty face flushed instantly, and he buried his head in his arms, protesting softly:
“It’s not even noon yet”

However, someone pretended not to hear, and a magic hand untied the robe.

outside the house.

Clear skies.

Gentle breeze.

A cat nimbly climbed up to the roof and meowed, covering up every movement in the house.
