Chapter 841: Men Retreat, Women Ascend

There are countless workshops in the Great Song Dynasty, but there is only one that can be inspected by the prince.

In the workshop at night, all kinds of miscellaneous utensils looked a little oozing in the dark.

Suddenly, there were a few more dark shadows on the wall, and after observing them, they flipped down.

They walked slowly to a room next to them, where they had their goal.

These people are looking left and right, nervous.

Bang!

A man accidentally bumped into the stove and immediately let out a low cry.

Several dark shadows stopped, all looking at their low-chanting companions in disgust.

Rumble!

Torches suddenly lit up on the side. The flames were blazing, illuminating the dark shadows.

"It's a trap!"

Several men pulled out their short knives and rushed over.

There were five people standing on the side, holding torches and looking at them with a smile.

"It's Bianliang's splash!"

"You can do anything for money, and it's not a pity to die."

"They feel that there are a lot of knives, so they are very proud!"

"But we have a lot of people......

"Someone!"

Puff puff!

There was the sound of torches lit, and men walked out with long knives in hand.

Several men were frightened by this formation, threw away their short blades, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

"Take it away!"

After an overnight interrogation, these pimples confessed that someone had given them money to come to the workshop to steal the things on the bed.

"It's all stupid!"

Before dawn, Shen An was very upset when he was disturbed by the people of the Imperial City Division, he rubbed his eyes and went to the front, and after seeing two men who were wet with dew, those unpleasantness disappeared.

There will always be someone who will guard something in the dark, without regrets.

"Get something for these two brothers to eat."

"Thank you for waiting for the edict."

The two spies didn't have time to be moved, and one of them said: "Wait for the edict, that bed has been sold a lot, and it is squatting tonight, but we can't squat and guard it night and night, if there is an omission, will someone steal it." ”

His tone was a little impatient when he spoke, but Shen An was calm.

"Don't worry about that, you know? The accessories on those beds are all special, and the fixing method is also special, and they can only look at them in a daze without special tools, understand? Give them the bed and they won't be able to dismantle it. ”

Shen An remembered the anger and helplessness of looking at the triangle screw in later generations, and was compensated at this moment, and he was immediately satisfied.

Thinking of the scene where a group of fools could only smash with a hammer in the face of the soil machine, Shen An's mood was not good.

So he went to the kitchen.

"Lang Jun, why are you here?"

Zeng Ermei is still a kitchen tyrant, but Shen An is the grandfather.

Stir two eggs into the pan, followed by a hard overnight rice.

The fire licked the bottom of the pot, and the rice was beating slightly in the pot.

The egg fried rice is very fragrant, but Zhao Ji can't eat it.

Most of the food in the palace was like that, and when it was delivered to him, it was almost lukewarm.

A bowl of soup cakes is his breakfast.

After breakfast, it's time to do your homework.

Those homework had become a burden for him now, and he felt a little disgusted every time he watched his husband explain the meaning of the article.

These well-educated scholars are good, but they don't know anything.

Ignorant of the world!

What can such a person know?

Read aloud?

Still self-righteous.

But he had to listen.

This is a room, and if he wants to get out, then he must follow the rules, otherwise countless people will pull him and make him fall into the mire......

“…… It is a king who should uphold the merciful ......"

“…… The way of a king is to be humble and to be good at counseling......"

The gentleman was foaming at the mouth, probably to the point of pride, waving his arms and accidentally throwing the book out.

Zhao Hao looked at it curiously, thinking that this gentleman was much more interesting than the previous one.

"It's fine."

The gentleman was embarrassed, and Zhao Ji smiled and said that it was not a problem.

After the class was over, Qiao Er and Wang Chongnian, who were waiting outside, came in together.

"King, someone went to the workshop last night to steal something, and was caught by the people of the Imperial City Division." Qiao Er has been at a disadvantage in the battle with Wang Chongnian recently, and he is a little nervous, so he even has to grab the news.

"Those idiots!"

Zhao Ji said: "The machine tools are all special things, and they are heavy, how can they steal them?" Dismantle? But they don't have the tools, and even if they break them and bring back some small things, it's useless for them to hold them...... If you don't understand that thing, you don't understand it, and you can't learn it by looking at it a few times, otherwise it would be in vain for the academy to invest so many years. ”

"Yes, the king is wise."

Qiao Er's sycophants are very direct.

Zhao Ji frowned slightly, and said, "Recently, the palace has been reducing consumption, can you eat breakfast well?" ”

"Yes."

Qiao Er smiled and said, "There are still chicken legs today!" ”

"Oh, the chicken legs are good!" Zhao Ji glanced at him and said, "Follow me to do my duty, as long as I don't exceed my duty, there will always be chicken legs." ”

Qiao Er thought this was an affirmation of himself, so he said happily: "That villain has been eating chicken legs for the rest of his life." ”

Zhao Ji nodded slightly, and Wang Chongnian said: "King, recently, the saint and Niangniang have been discussing the matter of reducing the amount of money in the palace, and the result came out yesterday, saying that both sides are reducing the number of people, and they are also preparing to reduce the cost. ”

"Manpower can be cut." Zhao Ji pressed the table with both hands, and stood up with a light support, "But the two mothers are already very little, and if you reduce it again, it will not help, but it will be masochistic." ”

The expenses of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty are really not much, starting from Renzong, the palace often releases people, and often cuts the cost, which can be called a model of the royal family.

After Zhao Shu succeeded to the throne, he himself did not have a good impression of the chamberlain and the palace maid, so as long as he applied to leave the palace, almost all of them could be approved.

The palace of the old Zhao family is becoming more and more deserted, but the ministers are still dissatisfied.

"It's too expensive, but some people say it's a lot less than before."

"There are also people who say that it should be cut, but they are all outside officials."

Zhao Ji sneered: "Those people just think that my family doesn't spend a penny, sucks wind and drinks all day long, and then hands over all the money to support the growing group of officials." ”

"The king is takami."

Wang Chongnian said with a smile: "Isn't that the case, they were satisfied when the inner treasury was empty, and now they are under the slogan of asking the royal family to reduce their consumption, why not gradually reduce their own consumption!" ”

Zhao Ji, who was walking in front, slowly stopped, and muttered with his hand: "Yes! Why don't they think to save money on their own? ”

Along the way, those palace maids did not avoid it, and there were even people who looked at Zhao Ji with affection, if he was interested, with just one look, he could fall into the gentle countryside tonight.

O woman!

Zhao Ji's heart moved slightly, but then calmed down again.

If you want to do great things, don't be controlled by desires, it's not okay at all.

"My lord, there are some ...... It's a little cute! ”

Qiao Er felt that Zhao Ji should scream, so he said temptingly: "That fragrance...... When the villain smelled it, he felt fluttering all over his body......"

"Eat chicken thighs at night."

Zhao Ji dropped this sentence and went to see his mother.

After leaving the cabinet, he could no longer enter and leave the harem as before, so the news was released, and several younger sisters took the lead in using.

"Big brother, you look a lot fatter."

Zhao Ji touched his face and felt that this was definitely slander.

"Big brother, the food has not been good lately!"

Zhao Qianyu said with some grievances: "It's not delicious." ”

"It will be fine later."

Zhao Ji and them went all the way to Baoci Palace.

"I've seen the mother."

When he saluted, Gao Taotao couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted one after another: "Come here!" Come here! ”

"Thin!"

Gao Tao said pityingly: "Turn around...... That's it, the recent food in the palace is a little worse, and you can go out of the palace to eat more good food. ”

One says I'm fat, the other says I'm thin, what does that mean?

The mother and son asked each other about the current situation, and Zhao Ji said the purpose of his visit, "Niangniang, it is necessary to reduce the number of people in the palace, but the current use is very small, so there is no need to treat yourself harshly." ”

If this continues, it is estimated that Gao Taotao and Empress Cao will have to weave cloth to support themselves.

Gao Tao sighed: "Who wants this? But the Great Song Dynasty is using money everywhere, and when the time comes, it will not be enough, and he will have to reach out to the palace, if there is no one by then, it will be embarrassing! ”

"Nothing to be embarrassed about." Zhao Ji felt that this idea was a little pedantic, "The money in the palace is the money in the palace, and my family can spend it as much as they want, and there is no reason to use the money in the palace to supplement the outside!" ”

"But every year there will be a shortage of money outside...... "The emperor of the old Zhao family was very aggrieved, and when he shouted that he was poor, he had to open the treasury to send money.

"If you are poor in money, you should find a way, instead of coming to the palace to grind, that is inaction, that is dereliction of duty!" Zhao Ji was a little angry, "Let those courtiers from the foreign court find a way, and the palace will stop." ”

Gao Taotao felt that his son would be considerate of himself when he grew up, and he was worried at the same time, "Those officials are fierce!" ”

The emperor of the old Zhao family basically never won against the officials, and Gao Taotao was naturally not optimistic about his son.

Zhao Ji smiled: "Niangniang just wait and see." ”

"Okay." Gao Tao smiled and said, "You should also go to Niangniang's side later." ”

This lady refers to the Empress Dowager Cao, Zhao Ji responded, sat here for half an hour, and then went to see the Empress Dowager Cao.

Empress Dowager Cao became more and more deserted, and when she saw him coming, she smiled rarely, asked a few words about his diet and daily life, and finally said: "The eldest man in the family has been practicing recently, if there is a chance to go into battle, just let him go." ”

After she was widowed, her identity was no longer taboo, and the Cao family and Cao Tong naturally didn't need to avoid anything.

And the Cao family is a martial artist, so in her opinion, it is best to return to the identity of a military general.

But the status of the warrior is low!

Zhao Ji felt that her thoughts were a little strange, so she said: "Niangniang, the Cao family is now a powerful person, would it be good if it became a martial artist?" ”

Outsiders seem to be willing to fall, but Empress Dowager Cao said contemptuously: "Don't listen to the chatter of those civil officials, what they are afraid of is not to think about solving this matter, but to avoid it." The diversion from the warriors to the Yellow River is all the same. Headache heals, foot pain, useless. ”

She looked outside, and there was more eagerness between her eyebrows, "There are many enemies around the Great Song Dynasty, and the men have shrunk, so who will protect the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"If you can, the old body is willing to go into battle with a knife and go to the land of Youyan to have a look."

The men are shrinking, and the women are on the battlefield!

……

The first is to ask for a monthly pass.
