Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 709 Conversation in Shangyang Palace
In less than a month, the situation in the north of Hebei became more and more calm. Although the Jin army dispatched troops, the scale was not large. Within the acceptable range of the two governments, they did not go south to harass the soldiers and civilians in the border area. Everything was so appropriate, but It's so peaceful that people can't calm down.

Today, the weather is still sunny and sunny, and Zhu Lian is in a good mood. With the completion of the construction of the Xuanwu Lake Palace - Shangyang Palace, she rarely leaves the palace and comes to the other courtyard of the palace to relax. .

The palace at the southern foot of the Xuanwu Bank does not seek luxury. After all, it is a royal garden, but it is also magnificently built. , Jasmine, and Michelle were also moved in. The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant and suitable for the growth of flowers and trees.In a year, most of the time is surrounded by the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Walking around makes people feel relaxed physically and mentally, and can leave all troubles behind.

The cost of relocating the flowers, trees, birds and beasts of the Liudu palace in Kaifeng to the south was not small, which aroused criticism from Taiwan's admonishing officials, who wrote letters saying that the old palace objects should not be moved lightly.Some people even directly questioned whether the second emperor was still in the northern kingdom, and the emperor was building a palace in Guangxi for the empress dowager, whether he still had the ambition to recover the lost land and return the capital to Kaifeng?

However, Zhu Lian didn't ask you about that. Whether it's the royal garden or the relocation expenses, they are all allocated from the internal treasury.In other words, what does it matter to you if I spend the money in my own pocket?When some admonishers were about to risk their lives to play, Tang Ge and Qin Hui stepped forward to suppress those admonishers, just as Qin Hui said.

This group of idle birds seems to care too much. The empress spends her own private money for entertainment, and does not use the inventory of the Taifu and the Ministry of Households. Why do you eat radishes and worry about it? Folklore, don't stare at the palace all day long.

In this way, the trend of the people has changed. Even Shengdou Xiaomin said that the queen mother spent her own money to build a house, and those admonishing officials had nothing to do when they were full, just worrying about it all day long, just like others can't see their iron bones, and they still have to think about it all day long. Show off.

Some people did have selfish intentions in admonishing them. It was spread out that they did not kill ministers and speech officials. Only then did people know the ancestral teachings of the Song Dynasty for nearly 200 years. Three thousand miles is scary.Anyway, the imperial court didn't deal with the speech officer, and it's just a laugh if you let your mouth be full of shit.

The Xing Dynasty also seemed to acquiesce, abide by the ancestral precept of not killing ministers and speech officials, and be extraordinarily tolerant to ministers, especially censors and admonishers. Wang Xiu even implemented a different supervision system. The gentry councils of various counties were successively established. The continuous development of power has caused some people to seek reputation in vain, and the best way to gain reputation is hard advice.

Anyway, there is no danger of my life, and you can't do anything to me. The more fierce the struggle, the better known it is.

Of course, this made a lot of jokes. The dignified supervisory censor actually impeached Shangyuan County for an oil seller case. Going down is just a joke.

There are also people who are even more outrageous, directly saying that the feasting and feasting in Xuanwu Lake will really degenerate and corrupt, and demand that the restaurants and tiles in Xuanwu Lake be banned, which is no different from looking for smoke.

Some people stared at eunuchs buying land to grow vegetables, saying that eunuchs and the people took profits.Don't even look at it as a legitimate transaction to buy the land.

"It's a pity this season, if the spring breeze is green on the south bank of the river, there will be flowers dancing all over the sky." On the palace path, Zhu Lian wore a light green long dress with dark patterns, and a soft smile hung on his plain face.

"Well, there is a way of falling flowers that are as light as silk, falling like snow. Walking in them is like embracing the beauty and beauty of the world, enviing the gods and goddesses in the sky." Wang Xiu walked half a step away, frowning, as if a little absent-minded.

"I'm tired after walking for a long time. Let's sit in the pavilion in front." Zhu Lian still smiled calmly. She had already seen that Wang Xiu was absent-minded.No wonder, the situation in the north is not very good, how could Wang Xiu have other thoughts.

When the two came to the pavilion, an attendant had already placed soft brocade cushions on the stone bench, served tea, and retreated far outside knowingly, only Qingjun was waiting not far away.

Wang Xiu sat calmly opposite Zhu Lian, his thoughts were elsewhere, not at this moment.

"Officials, don't think about it anymore, there are countermeasures for everything." Zhu Lian sighed, Wang Xiu was like a machine, running at high speed all the time, it was too hard. "How did Da Shi Luo Zi Dai use it?" Wang Xiu came back to her senses, restrained her thoughts just now, and said a word of concern to Zhu Lian.

Just yesterday, he gave Zhu Lian a gift from the Wang family in Hangzhou, a complete set of expensive cosmetics that had just arrived from overseas.

"Really good."

"Luozidai is a high-quality thrush product. I specially asked the Wang family in Hangzhou to carefully select a few boxes, which are much better than those used in the palace." Wang Xiu's mood is much better, and she doesn't have to think about troubles for the time being.

"It has been unused for a long time!" Zhu Lian sighed for a while. Since the palace moved to the south, the cost has been reduced. The authentic Luozidai is worth 35 gold each. It is too extravagant to be consumed by the inner palace, so it is naturally forbidden to use it. .

In the past two years, the economic situation has improved a lot, especially the Liangzhe Road radiating to the military states in the southeast. The treasury began to overflow. Repeal the ban.

Of course, the ban on luxury goods and the construction of palaces are definitely two different concepts. The royal family can be strict and thrifty, but they can’t live without majesty. Face is also an important reason why Qin Hui left the admonisher speechless.

"Elder Sister, Wang Mi, Wang Sheng and the others brought back a lot of treasures from overseas. I'll send some more as soon as possible. It's been hard for you these years. Twelve Niangs have a share too."

"I still need the officials to worry about it. The eldest sister entered the palace the day before yesterday and gave her a lot. Our sister is so happy that she still wants to invest money in business." Zhu Lian embroidered her handkerchief and covered her lips with a smile.

Wang Xiu wanted to sell well, but she didn't expect her elder sister to get ahead of her, so she couldn't help feeling frustrated, pinched her nose and didn't know what to say.

Wang Qingzhu was an absolute hero, a hero among women, because of Zhu Lian's relationship, going in and out of the Forbidden Palace was like walking on flat ground.

Because she is wealthy and generous, she doesn't talk about her life at all, not to mention the noble ladies of Queen Han, they are naturally rare and exquisite things, and they are given at a high price. There are also benefits, it directly achieves good popularity, and everyone agrees with each other.
