The sun never sets in America

Chapter 250 Women in the Palace

"Have you heard that the stock market has risen again??"

"Who says it's not? This fucking increase is too outrageous. It's like the flying monkey at Nanmen Fireworks Factory. In the blink of an eye, my dear, it increased by another ten percent..."

"I said, this is almost a billion. Why does this number feel so evil? In two days it will be the ninth day of August. As the old saying goes, ninety-five is the supreme number, and ninety-nine is the ultimate number..."

"Don't wait until then..."

"Hey, what are you talking about that is depressing? Now is the time to forge ahead. Let me see, let alone one billion, it doesn't matter if it's twenty. It's all passing by. Didn't you listen to what Zhang Daxiao, Professor Zhang Da said? ?”

"Smile when you say one billion, have fun with two billion, and only half of five billion is over. The good days are still here!!" (One of Zhang Daxiao's stock market quotes)

"Haha, that's right, that's right. If you ask me, I should have sold the house and bought stocks. Maybe I can make more money now, haha..."

"Ha ha……"

In a tea restaurant early in the morning, several middle-aged men with big belly were discussing the current stock market enthusiastically.

A month has passed since the last time, and the Hanguo stock market has risen from 800 million yuan to nearly one billion, and it is only just shy of one billion yuan.

And at this rate, there will be no problem if it reaches 1.3 billion before the end of the year.

So much so that in the current market, there is no longer talk about how much the stock market has risen today, but about when it will break one billion. Even those foreign investors, including Wall Street, are full of confidence and predict that the Han stock market will rise by the end of the year. It will reach one billion yuan by the middle of this month, and will continue to rise in the end.

The prosperous stock market of Han Dynasty attracted the attention of a large number of investors from neighboring countries and even Europe. It turned out that because of the barriers, there was no way to enter and they could only stand at the door and drool.

After the Han Dynasty revised its foreign investment law, a large amount of foreign funds poured into the Xijing Exchange, which suddenly boosted the stock market, which was about to reach its peak, by nearly 200 million.

And it is estimated that it will continue to rise! !

The happiest people in Han Dynasty now are those who bought stocks. These people hold stocks and are not short of money at all. When they have no money, they directly mortgage part of the stocks. If the stock increases slightly, they will save interest.

And those who didn't buy, or didn't buy much, stood in the exchange every day, waiting for a favorite stock to appear, and then flocked to it, and finally there was a stock grab.

In response to this situation, Xijing Exchange has launched the so-called rapid listing, which means that as soon as the qualifications are obtained, there is no need to queue and the company can be listed directly.

Such a mechanism suddenly made the market prosperous. There were more stocks on the stock market, and more people bought them.

As a result, Hanguo Bank is now the busiest bank besides the exchange. I go there all the time, deposit money all the time, and go back and forth. I charge a lot in handling fees, and I make a lot of money.

The prosperity of the financial market has led to the development of other industries.

For example, the textile industry, catering industry, real estate, and even the carriage and horse industry have all been stimulated.

So much so that now in Han Dynasty, especially in big cities like Xijing and Jinshan, real estate prices have at least doubled.

If it weren't for the low-cost housing provided by the royal family, it might be what it would be like.

(Except for some commercial businesses, most of the royal real estate is related to people's livelihood. This was specially done by Liu Peng)

The Han stock market is very crazy now. How crazy it is. Just look at the private carriages on the streets of Xijing and Jinshan! !

…………

Under a bright dragon umbrella, Liu Peng was wearing Western sunglasses and lying on an armchair. Behind him was Concubine Jing, who was pressing his shoulders.

"hiss……"

Liu Peng suddenly shouted.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter? Isn't my concubine doing a good job?"

Concubine Jing asked Liu Peng knowingly.

"Very good, oh, yes, just press this, be gentle..."

Liu Peng enjoyed Jing Fei's extremely comfortable massage, making sounds of comfort from time to time.

"Your Majesty, why haven't you come to my palace recently?"

“Did I do something wrong, my concubine??”

Concubine Jing looked pitiful when she asked Liu Peng tentatively. At the end of the sentence, her voice was crying, as if she would be scared if Liu Peng didn't come.

"His Majesty……"

In the end, Concubine Jing simply hugged Liu Peng's neck, their faces were close to each other, and Concubine Jing shouted tenderly into Liu Peng's ear.

Liu Peng's bones were almost broken.

"Alas, in public, what are you doing, what are you doing!!"

"Gu is not King Zhou, he can't do that kind of thing!!"

Feeling a fire rising in his heart, Liu Peng was agitated and kept struggling against Concubine Jing who was hugging him.

Concubine Jing, who was hugging him, said in a tearful tone: "Your Majesty, the other sisters have children, but I don't have one. I am a woman without children..."

As he spoke, he began to sob.

After Liu Peng struggled out from Concubine Jing, he touched his face that was covered with lip marks. Liu Peng sighed, looked at Concubine Jing opposite and said, "This kind of thing is like a farmer grinding tofu. It can't be done slowly, but it can also be done quickly." No, if you grind it this way, you will grind the tofu into dregs..."

“When the time comes, where will you find such good soybeans??”

"Oh, Your Majesty..."

“That’s not what I meant!!”

Upon hearing Liu Peng's words, Concubine Jing blushed with embarrassment and kept acting coquettishly towards Liu Peng.

"Okay, let the imperial doctor prescribe some good medicine for you. Maybe it will be enough this time..."

Liu Peng held Concubine Jing in his arms and whispered comfort as if coaxing his own child.

"Well, listen to your Majesty!!"

"Stop making trouble??"

"Didn't you have so much fun just now? It even hurts my neck!!"

Liu Peng pointed at the neck where the red mark was pulled out by the nails, and said to Concubine Jing with a straight face.

"Your Majesty, does it hurt??"

Concubine Jing carefully and lovingly stroked the red mark on Liu Peng's neck. A trace of tears flashed in her watery eyes. The tears were crystal clear and condensing rapidly, as if they might fall at any time.

Liu Peng grabbed Concubine Jing's weak little hand and held it in his hand as if it were some kind of treasure. Then he used his other hand to caress Concubine Jing's smooth, jade-like face, and said softly: "The women in the palace are the most talented and knowledgeable. , although she is not as beautiful as Lian Qing, but in Gu’s opinion, she is indeed even better than others, and cannot be compared to others..."

Hearing Liu Peng's unstinting praise, Concubine Jing lowered her head shyly and said in a low voice: "How can I be so good? My sisters are all better than me, not to mention that Your Majesty always brings new sisters back... " Concubine Jing raised her head and looked at Liu Peng with sorrowful eyes, looking at this person who was his only support in the palace.

She once thought about why he didn't belong to her alone, why he belonged to another woman, and why she wasn't the queen. Later, that bitch He Lianqing came, and she still endured it, but this time two new ones came. A foreign girl, or a sister, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Hearing Concubine Jing's words, Liu Peng replied with some embarrassment: "This is all government affairs. Do you know who these two new women are? Their family is the leader of the white business community in Han Dynasty. They are the facade, and there are others at home." The title of a Spanish Count is extremely prestigious among white people, but there are almost no Western girls in the harem. If they are not accepted, I am afraid that the outside world will talk about the difference between Chinese and Western..."

"You said that there are only Han people in my country and there is no place for white people to live. Do you know how many white people there are in my country?" Liu Peng asked Concubine Jing.

"I don't know, but what does this woman have to do with the government? I really don't understand??" Although Concubine Jing didn't understand the reason, she always felt that Liu Peng was lying to him. Although she couldn't explain the reason, the woman Her instinct told her that she was fooling her.

Liu Peng, on the other hand, put his arms around Concubine Jing's shoulders and said softly: "You women don't understand this government affairs. It's very complicated. It's like a sea. If you soak in it every day, your skin will peel..." Liu Peng He told Concubine Jing about the so-called hardships of government affairs and his own last resort.

Finally, he said:

"Don't worry, no matter how many women you have, I won't abandon you. As long as you have children, I will make them Dukes or even kings. These good days will last forever..."

"Well, Your Majesty, I understand!!"

Concubine Jing looked at Liu Peng's sincere eyes and agreed ignorantly, leaning into Liu Peng's arms and no longer thinking about those bad things.

And Liu Peng hugged Concubine Jing and sighed secretly: "It is really not a good thing to have too many women. I don't know how those scumbags of the Sea King did it in the previous life. I have become a king and I don't know how to do it yet. It can be seen that these things still need to be done." I really admire the talent, admire..."

…………

"Your Majesty, this is today's newspaper..." A new female official named Song respectfully took several newspapers ironed with an iron and delivered them to Liu Peng's Panlong case.

(Made from sandalwood from the Penglai area, carved with nine golden dragons)

Liu Peng took a look at this new female official. After noticing her plum blossoms on her handkerchief and her graceful figure, he already understood what she wanted to do.

Then he first picked up the pavilion newspaper on the table, which was an official newspaper and was mainly circulated within the Han government.

Liu Peng took the trouble to look at those scenes and words. Although many of the words were too formulaic, Liu Peng still looked at them with relish because they contained the trends and secrets of the national development of the Han Dynasty.

"This Yao Wen is so presumptuous that he dares to publish such an article in the Pavilion Newspaper!!"

The female official Song on the side immediately came to Liu Peng and comforted her softly: "He is just a wild and rebellious person. Why should your majesty be angry? This anger is ruining your body, but what should you do..." After saying this, the female official Song stretched out her bare hands and gently He brushed Liu Peng's back and calmed him down.

Liu Peng felt the warmth on his back and glanced at the female officer next to him in surprise. Ms. Song was so frightened that she quickly pulled her hand back.

Liu Peng did not continue to care about the excessive courtesy of the female official of the Song Dynasty just now, but pointed to an article in the newspaper written by a Yanguan named Yao Wen and said: "This person is not only crazy and rebellious, but I think he has no regard for the imperial court and no regard for the imperial court." This King of Han is alone!!"

"What are you talking about? We put wealth first in our government's affairs and use finance to attract the common people. If the stock market rises day by day, the national style will become more and more distorted..."

"To say that the Xijing Exchange is a man-eating tiger, and that the imperial court's economic policy is an act of undermining the people, what else can you say? With the current situation, the country's financial ruin is already in front of us, let alone what else can we say? After the losses, we can only cut off the people. Shang, cut off the people to mend the sores of the dynasty..."

"They also made arrogant remarks about Gu's move to clean up pests and rats, saying that although these people are guilty, the first crime lies with the imperial court. In today's atmosphere..."

"What the hell, they say that the imperial court wants to use Jinyiwei to govern the country, and they say that Mo Yu, Li Shuqi is the Jinyiwei Dongchang and others..."

"What the hell, does this bastard still think of Gu as a king and father? All he needs to do is scold Gu!!"

Liu Peng read this article and was so angry that he cursed. He had not said a curse word for a long time, but he had already said two in a row. This shows how angry Liu Peng was.

"Your Majesty, calm down, this person is so arrogant, why not just issue a decree to arrest him as a warning to others!!"

Miss Song looked at the angry Liu Peng and immediately followed, directly advising Liu Peng to use torture, regardless of the consequences, but blindly obeyed Liu Peng.

It seemed that only in this way could Liu Peng look up to him.

Liu Peng looked at the newspaper in his hand, then at Official Song across the way, and asked a bit playfully: "Do you really want to arrest this person??"

"This person is wildly rebellious and has no father. According to the law, he can be killed..." Song female official replied to Liu Peng without hesitation.

Liu Peng looked at the decisive woman in front of him, suddenly became playful, and continued:

"If you come and give the order, for what crime will he be arrested??"

"My lord, I will be charged with contempt for the king and slander of the government." The female official of the Song Dynasty replied directly to Liu Peng without any hesitation.

After hearing this, Liu Peng smiled dumbly, then stared at this pretentious female official and said:

"This king must have a reason to kill people, and it must be logical. He cannot be killed just because he published some articles that alluded to the government. What will happen to me then? Do you tell me??" Liu Peng's eyes were like an abyss, and he looked at A female official of the Song Dynasty.

Seeing this made her panic, and in the end she could only stumble and answer: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty is naturally a wise king, a sage king, and the sun of my great man..."

"Ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, Liu Peng burst out laughing on the spot, as if he had heard a funny joke.

Ms. Song was even more nervous. She didn't know what Liu Peng was laughing at. The more uncertain something is, the more scared people are, not to mention that this is a palace.

"Holy King, Gu is not alone, nor is the sun. Gu is just a king. In essence, he is the same as those kings in history..."

"There is one biggest difference between Shan Gu and them. Do you know what it is??"

"What??" Ms. Song asked nervously, not even daring to look at Liu Peng.

"Gu has self-awareness. He knows exactly what he should do and what he shouldn't do!!"

There seemed to be light in Liu Peng's eyes.

"Although Yao Wen is guilty, his crime is to discuss the government affairs indiscriminately and slander the court..."

"If you kill him, this guy will really become a stain on Gu Gu. A hundred years later, Qianqiu Shi Ce will still question this matter. Killing him alone will be like killing Yuan Chonghuan Mingming, like Hai Rui, who can rebuke, Can't kill..."

Liu Peng knew the secrets of this better than anyone else. It seemed that killing Yao Wen would be extremely satisfying, but he couldn't kill him. If he did, he would have a headache in the future.

Ms. Song nodded in agreement with half understanding and half understanding, as if she understood, but also seemed not to understand.

Liu Peng didn't care whether a little female official understood it or not, but just issued an order to Yao Wen: "Draft an order...order the cabinet to strictly investigate how Yao Wen's article was reported to the cabinet, and thoroughly investigate the people behind it..."

"If you demote Yao Wen to another place, go to the post of censor, and leave him as mayor of the town, remember, if it is a big town!!"

Liu Peng said on the side, while the female official of the Song Dynasty leaned over and copied the memorial.

"Your Majesty, that's it..." Ms. Song held a folder in her hands and handed it to Liu Peng.

Liu Peng took the folder, glanced at it a few times, and then glanced at the frightened Lady Song. He walked to the case, picked up the small seal of the King of Han on the table, and stamped it without hesitation.

It was written in regular script:

"The Royal Seal of the King of Han!!"

Ms. Song's worried heart finally relaxed.

"Send it over..."

Liu Peng handed the sealed folder to Ms. Song behind him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!!"

The female official of the Song Dynasty bent down and took the memorial from Liu Peng's hand.

Liu Peng looked at the back of Lady Song, who was so charming, and laughed, and then shouted to the palace maid outside: "Let the prince come here..."

.........

"Father, Wan'an..."

Liu Yu looked at Liu Peng who was working. After he came in, he knelt on the ground and greeted him respectfully.

Liu Peng put down the memorial in his hand, lowered his head and ordered Liu Yu, who was kneeling in front of him:

"Get up, how was your homework today??"

When Liu Yu heard this, he rolled his eyes and immediately replied: "My son is studying English and Tang history recently..."

"Well, read a few words and listen!!"

Then Liu Yu read a verse from Shakespeare, which seemed to be a good effort.

"Well, I learned pretty well!!"

Liu Peng nodded with satisfaction, and then waved to Liu Yu: "Come, come to the father."

After Liu Yu heard this, he ran to Liu Peng. Liu Peng directly picked up Liu Yu and placed him on his lap.

"Is it fun in the palace?" Liu Peng pinched Liu Yu's face and asked with a smile.

"It's not fun, it's not fun at all..." Liu Yu's eyes immediately lit up when he heard about the fun, and then he started complaining to Liu Peng about how uncomfortable it was to stay in the palace.

"There is no one in the palace to play with you, where is Hao'er??" Liu Peng was talking about his second son Liu Hao, the son of the noble concubine.

"Second brother, no, he's too young, it's not fun!!" Liu Yu shook his head when he heard his father mention Liu Hao.

"You kid, your brother is only half a year younger than you, so you despise him, you troublemaker!!" Liu Peng pinched Liu Yu's little nose and taught him a lesson.

"Father..."

"What's wrong??"

"It's been a long time since you went to see your mother. She cried last time!!"

Hearing this, Liu Peng fell silent for a moment, then smiled and asked Liu Yu: "Who told you what happened?"

"No one said that it was Yu'er who saw it. The queen mother also said that my father has many women, and he will count on me when the time comes!!" Liu Yu innocently told the truth.

Liu Peng was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. Then he looked at Liu Yu with deep meaning and said:

"Yu'er, you will know when you reach the position of father. It is difficult to be a king!!"

"How difficult is it? Is it difficult to do homework with Yu'er?" Liu Yu asked innocently.

Liu Peng touched Liu Yu's little tiger head and explained with a smile: "It's difficult, it's getting harder and harder. The world says that the emperor is good, but the father is already tired before he becomes a father. You say, the father is Isn’t it useless??”

"No, my father is useful. People in the palace say that my father is kind and gives them rewards during every year and festival. My father is the best!!" In Liu Yu's heart, besides having too many empresses, he, as his father, is the best. , it’s actually quite good. It would be better if he didn’t ignore his homework.

"Yu'er, you have to remember that small favors can only be remembered by those people for a while at most. It is the way of a king to give both kindness and power!!" Liu Peng touched Liu Yu's head and told him, regardless of Liu Yu's age. don't know.

Liu Yu nodded ignorantly, and then said: "I understand, father, this is just like riding a horse. You shouldn't just feed it grass and radishes. You should whip it with a whip, and let it be whipped." He knows who is the master..."

"Let me ride this horse honestly!!"

"Ha ha……"

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Liu Peng laughed happily, and then continued to lower his head and educate Liu Yu: "Just beating and giving food is not enough. You have to let the horses compete with each other. It is best to let them fight for the horse." The master’s joy and anger compete with each other, do you understand??”

Liu Yu blinked his eyes and nodded.

　Please give me monthly votes and rewards. I really need this.
