The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Concubine Zhuang Guifei's birthday finally failed.

The entire Zhuang family was immersed in great grief, and they all hoped that Mr. Zhuang would be able to come back from the dead and turn disaster into good luck.Concubine Zhuang was so shocked by the news that she couldn't get sick, but the Kunning Palace was beaming with joy because the empress was pregnant again after so many years.

Jiang Zizheng and his wife were even notified to return to the capital to serve the empress and wait for her to deliver the baby.

Song Qingyue sat in confinement this time and recuperated for nearly two months. She was fattened up by two Nanny Tong and Nanny Zhang, who had officially become doctors of the School of Gynecology and Medicine.

But she was too thin before, but now she is round and smooth, and she looks even better.

Every time Li Zhao saw the radiant Song Qingyue, his mood would improve accordingly.

"By the way, Jiang Zi is about to leave, I am going to call Meng Wanfeng."

Song Qingyue took Li Zhao's arm and acted like a baby.

"What's there to negotiate?"

"There is also Li Zhen. Meng Wanfeng is here, so we can't leave Li Zhen alone in the capital, can we? It's been many years, let him be released. Huh? Okay?"

Li Zhao pinched Song Qingyue's face, neither refused nor agreed, only said that he would send a telegram to ask his father.

The emperor should be very happy to dig out the tumor in Jiangxi.

As far as taxation is concerned, floods and droughts have been reported frequently since 20 years ago, and the amount of food tax paid has been decreasing year by year.

It is also in the south of the Yangtze River, the southern part of Zhili and Zhejiang, and the taxes paid are several times that of Jiangxi.

Since the introduction of the land sales tax, there have been more self-cultivating farmers in South Zhili, but there have been fewer and fewer self-cultivating farmers in Jiangxi.

The number of people and property that those officials and gentry in Jiangxi concealed is not the point, but how they did it.

Isn't it because Mr. Zhuang is the father of the imperial concubine?

The matter of monks and Taoists came to an end, and Xing Shangqian also returned to Taiyuan from the capital.

"Your Highness, I don't understand something, and I would like to ask Your Highness for advice."

In the study, Xing Shangqian brought back the latest news about Mr. Zhuang.

Master Zhuang's body was finally salvaged by a fisherman by Poyang Lake.

The knife in the back pierced straight into the heart, even if the gods came, they couldn't save him.

"Where did the news come from?" Li Zhao waved his hand with a slight smile on his lips, signaling Lin Wanfu to serve tea to Xing Shangqian.

Xing Shangqian sat down, with half of his buttocks next to the chair, and said, "It was given by the factory supervisor, Eunuch Yang."

Li Zhao smiled and nodded: "Okay, it can be considered as an end to a serious confidant. That old guy hid it deep enough. I even suspect that when someone gave Yue'er a candle containing musk before, that old guy was behind the scenes."

"This...Your Majesty also thinks so?!"

"Maybe." Li Zhao leaned on the back of the chair relaxedly.Lin Wanfu brought hot tea, and he enthusiastically sold the good things he tasted recently to Xingyuan: "Often, this is 20-year-old Pu-erh. It looks dark in color, but it's actually not bitter at all. After taking a sip, I feel warm all over my body." .”

Xing Shangqian didn't have the mind to drink tea, so he took a small sip in a coping manner, and asked: "It is reasonable to say that the crimes committed by Boss Zhuang are enough to be beheaded and exiled. Why did your majesty kill him secretly?"

Li Zhao said with a smile: "Because the third brother is right. If the Zhuang family is dealt with publicly, the noble concubine and the third brother will definitely be implicated. Even if he is not implicated, with the third brother's temperament, he will give up his title to protect the life of Lord Zhuang. When you talk about that old thief's life, will father keep or not? Rather than spoiling the relationship between father and son to such an extent, father would rather deal with the old man in private and save face for the third younger brother."

Looking up, seeing Xing Zhuangyuan's extremely shocked expression, Li Zhao smiled calmly again: "What surprises you?"

"No...no...no." Xing Shangqian didn't know how to express the slander in his heart, so he stammered for a while.

Li Zhao once again seemed to see through his mind, and said with a smile: "Does Xing Qing think that father is a cruel, cold-blooded, and heartless person?"

Xing Shangqian hurriedly lowered his head and said, "No, I...I dare not!"

Li Zhao shook his head: "If father is really such a cold-blooded person, this king would have been suspected. It was a wrong choice for you to come to Taiyuan with me."

There was a glimmer of darkness in his eyes.

If the father was really so cold-blooded and ruthless, he would not have allowed the Queen Mother Meng to dance happily for so long, let alone let the Ning family still hold the military power, and would not have grieved for so long because of the contempt and ignorance of the emperor's grandfather.

If it were him, at least that old lady of the Ning family wouldn't be alive till now.

After Song Qingyue gave birth to confinement, she began to devote herself to the publication of various picture books.

In addition to the previous "Invincible Patrol" series, she is now developing a new set of animal science picture books.

Since the capital city had a zoo, some species from all over the country have been sent to the capital one after another, such as the gibbon, the nine-section wolf red panda, and a dwarf bear called the sun bear.

Song Qingyue sent three people to the Beijing Zoo to copy these animals, and another three people went south to Guangdong to find her fourth brother and asked them to copy some sea creatures.

The third team set off to Sichuan to look for giant pandas, and the last team went to Guizhou and Yunnan.

Each team was given 1000 taels of silver and a seven-member bodyguard team.

Of course, the bodyguard team came from Li Zhao, and it cost a lot of money. The average cost of each team was around 2000 taels of silver, which added up to 8000 taels!

Li Zhao smiled and Song Qingyue started to lose money again, and was punched by Song Qingyue: "What do you know? If I don't spend this kind of money, no one will spend it! This kind of popular science books is just like the one my father is building. The telegraph line is the same, it looks like a compensation deal, but it actually works a lot! What a fart!"

"Okay! My lady is wise! It's because of my husband that I'm short-sighted."

He hugged Song Qingyue's waist, rubbed her neck with his clean-shaven chin, sprayed hot air on Song Qingyue's face, and asked, "Have you recuperated?"

Song Qingyue's ears turned red from being teased, and she turned her face and kissed him: "Wait another month." She grabbed Li Zhao's belt with her hands behind her back, skillfully pulled it and threw it on the ground, and followed the man's waist. Slowly touching the waistline: "Be good, and I will reward you with sweetness..."

Li Zhao buried his face in Song Qingyue's neck and let out a muffled snort.

Not to mention, doing this kind of thing in the study is very interesting, without Li Xiaokun, the husband and wife let go of the trouble.

Last night, he hugged his wife and said that he missed his son. Now that his son is here, Li Zhao hopes that the brat will come back later.

The "Invincible Patrol" series of comics were sold out as soon as they hit the shelves, especially in areas with relatively high literacy rates: Beizhi, Shanxi, Nanzhi, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang.

But it's really a new thing that everyone has never seen before.

A book as big as a palm, with sixty to seventy pages, each page has a picture and a sentence, but anyone who can recognize a few words can basically understand it.

I can't read all the words, and I can guess a lot by looking at the pictures.

The story of "Invincible Patrol" was performed by the cultural propaganda group, and the storyteller also said it. After knowing the story and reading the comic book with pictures, I still enjoy it.

Moreover, it takes more work to make picture books, and the price of this comic book is so cheap. Depending on the number of pages, it is [-] to [-] yuan per book, which is cheaper than ordinary text books.

Such a cheap price is a unilateral decision made by Zhaoyue Printing Factory in Taiyuan.The Jingcheng Royal Printing Factory originally wanted to set a higher price, but it couldn't stand the cheap price here in Taiyuan, so people from the bookstore came to Taiyuan to buy goods.

But the Royal Printing Factory spent so much money on plate making, the cost can't just be wasted. Mr. Song had no choice but to bite the bullet and keep the same price as Taiyuan.

But in this way, although the villain book sold very well, the printing factory did not make much profit.

There is no complicated relationship here in Taiyuan Printing Factory, and the boss is also a maid brought out by Song Qingyue. No one has any objections to making less money, but the capital is different.

The personnel relationship in the Royal Printing Factory is complicated. It doesn't matter if Mr. Song can't make money himself, but the people under him will lose their temper if they can't make money.

But, these troubles have nothing to do with Song Qingyue, she has no obligation to help the emperor clean up the corruption within the enterprise.

Anyway, because the original version is sold cheap enough, the pirated version may not even be able to get back the copy, resulting in very few private piracy.

The "Invincible Patrol" comic book is not at a loss.

Moreover, the popularity of the comic book comic book has stimulated the popularity of free literacy classes in various places.

In May, a county magistrate from outside Taiyuan Prefecture in Shanxi wrote to Taiyuan Palace, hoping that Song Qingyue could allocate funds to help them build literacy classes.

Song Qingyue took the letter and asked Li Zhao, "Why do you all come to me? Did the princess get her money from the wind? What do the local gentry do for food?"

Li Zhao was thinking about his plan to go to Qingzhang in Jiangxi. Hearing Song Qingyue's question, he laughed: "Those people don't necessarily want their tenants to be literate. Don't count on it. Your mother will have to pay for the money."

"Hmph! So, the imperial court must have money! The money cannot be hidden in the hands of gentry who don't pay taxes. Everything I do should be done by the imperial court! Don't laugh, it's not funny at all!"

Li Zhao immediately put away his smile obediently, and stared at Song Qingyue very seriously, as if humbly receptive.

Song Qingyue rolled her eyes angrily, didn't bother to preach, waved her hand very generously and said: "Anyway, I will do those things first, and when you become emperor, you will have to allocate funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs. I am not an immortal who will not die .”

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Li Zhao took her hands and kissed her on his lips. (end of this chapter)
