Bumu Butai is not only in Shenyang City, but now in this Qingning Palace," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "If Aiqing is interested, I can give you a marriage!"

"This ......" Hong Chengchou finally came to his senses, the emperor did not make fun of him, but rewarded Bumu Butai to him! Bumu Butai's youthful and lovely appearance, as well as his eyes of reverence and attachment...... He hurriedly left his seat and bowed down at Li Zicheng's feet, "Thank you for the emperor's grace!"

"Haha," Li Zicheng laughed, this seemed to be the first time he gave a marriage to a courtier, but he didn't expect it to be a transnational and cross-ethnic marriage, the object was the courtier of China and the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was really funny! Since Aiqing is interested, then I will make an exception to be a matchmaker......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Hong Chengchou was still a little worried, "In case Bumu Butai is reluctant......"

"Aiqing doesn't have to worry," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Bumu Butai can marry, but at any time, don't forget that you are a Han and an important minister of China!"

"The minister will never fail the emperor and Huaxia!"

Li Zicheng called He Xiaomi and whispered a few words.

He Xiaomi left quickly, Shaoqing came back again, followed by a middle-aged woman in palace clothes, Hong Chengchou recognized it at a glance, "Bumu Butai, no, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang ......"

Bumu Butai covered her mouth and smiled, she first blessed Li Zicheng, and then walked in front of Hong Chengchou, glanced at it, seemed to hesitate, but finally saluted, "I've seen General Hong!"

"No need to ......be polite," Hong Chengchou was almost incoherent.

Li Zicheng laughed, Wang Ba looked at the mung bean, right eye! Bumu Butai is in his early thirties, his appearance is just like this, and his scheming is too heavy, if he wants to make a choice, it is the modest smile on Zhezhe's face that is even more likable......

He swept his gaze on Bumu Butai's face, took out an edict, and said with an indifferent smile: "What I said is naturally a word, you helped Huaxia, and I will naturally give you a marriage." ”

Bumu Butai's face was slightly red, and he secretly glanced at Hong Chengchou, and lowered his head with a smile.

Hong Chengchou took the edict, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Bumu Butai was stunned for a while, and then knelt down beside Hong Chengchou, "Slave and maid thank the emperor!"

"It's really a husband and wife!" Li Zicheng laughed, "Get up!"

After Hong Chengchou got up, the stunned emperor looked at Bumu Butai's face, and forgot that the emperor was in front of him......

"From now on, there will be no more Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in the world," Li Zicheng thought of the Qing palace drama in later generations, and he had some emotion in his heart, he paused and said: "The wedding will be talked about later, but I will naturally give you a marriage, Bumu Butai is not suitable to live in the palace, Hong Aiqing, she will be handed over to you!"

"Thanksgiving!"

Li Zicheng leaned in the inner study independently for a while, and when he returned to the dormitory, it was already past the unitary hour, and Luo Xiujuan and Luo Ling greeted him, "Your Majesty!"

Li Zicheng looked at Luo Xiujuan's shy appearance, knowing that Zhezhe had told her everything, and stepped forward to hold her little hand, "Juan'er, have you waited for a long time?" ”

"Ah...... No, no," Luo Xiujuan hurriedly said: "The emperor has a lot of opportunities...... she raised her head and bravely met Li Zicheng's gaze, "Is the emperor going to rest...... Slaves and maids waiting for the emperor to change their clothes......"

Luo Ling smiled "fluttering", "Your Majesty, princess, the slave and maid went out first, and the slave and maid stayed next door, what is the matter, summon the slave and maid to ......"

Luo Xiujuan glanced at Luo Ling and asked her to leave quickly, Luo Ling covered her mouth and smiled, and took the door with her.

"It's time to rest," Li Zicheng stretched his waist and raised his arms casually, "Juan'er will change her clothes today?" ”

Luo Xiujuan remembered the stupid appearance of changing Li Zicheng's clothes for the first time, so she glanced at Li Zicheng, "Is the emperor trying to make fun of the slave?" ”

"Don't get me wrong," Li Zicheng lowered his head, put his ear against Luo Xiujuan, and whispered: "What I mean, if Juan'er can't change clothes, I will ...... Juan'er's clothes later."

"The Emperor's Bad ......"

After a night of graceful succession, the relationship between Luo Xiujuan and Li Zicheng has taken a big step forward, and she is a little more attached to him.

After dawn, Luo Xiujuan woke up first, and was about to stretch her legs to change her posture, when she suddenly thought of last night's incident, she smiled secretly, closed her eyes and thought for a moment, still feeling that Li Zicheng's arms were warm, comfortable, and safe.

Suddenly, Li Zicheng also woke up, sniffed the faint fragrance, reached out and touched Luo Xiujuan's smooth back, felt her body tremble, and knew that she was pretending to be asleep, "Juan'er, it's getting bright, I'm going to get up, you continue to sleep!"

"Slaves and maids waiting for the emperor to change clothes......" Luo Xiujuan couldn't care about pretending to be asleep just now, and almost jumped up.

"No, no," Li Zicheng turned his head slightly, sat up from the head of the bed, and patted Luo Xiujuan's sheets, "Women sleep more and recuperate!"

"Your Majesty ......" Luo Xiujuan showed half of her head from the sheet.

Li Zicheng felt that her gaze was a little warmer than yesterday, "Juan'er rest more, after I am busy, I will come to see you at lunch......"

pecked Luo Xiujuan on the forehead, got out of bed in her clothes, and when she pushed the door open, Luo Ling's smiling face appeared, "The emperor got up?" Where's the princess......"

"It's me who let Juan'er sleep more......"

Luo Ling quickly prepared hot water for washing, Li Zicheng finished washing, and was about to leave the palace for a while, but Zhezhe came in with a delicate jade plate in both hands, and a white porcelain bowl was placed in the jade plate, "Your Majesty, the slave maid made some breakfast...... The emperor eats it while it's hot......"

"Early?" Li Zicheng took the porcelain bowl, "The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan is bothered!"

"Your Majesty, don't say that," Zhezhe smiled lightly, "The slave maid is idle in this Qingning Palace, and it is the blessing of the slave maid to be able to serve the emperor......

The porcelain bowl is a pale yellow liquid, clear and fragrant, with a layer of wolfberry and Chaotian pepper floating on it, and at the bottom of the bowl are two black ellipsoidal objects.

Zhezhe saw Li Zicheng's eyes staring at the ellipsoidal thing, smiled faintly, and floated away.

Li Zicheng scooped up an ellipsoidal object with a soup spoon, took a small bite, and immediately understood: Niu Bao!

Last time in Xining's Mu Mansion, Mu Sirong's mother also made a steamed beef treasure in the morning, but Zhezhe's beef treasure is obviously stewed, with a lot of seasonings, and the taste is better.

He remembered a childhood proverb: If you want to eat at your mother-in-law's house, you have to play at your grandmother's house, and you have to do it at your sister's house.

Li Zicheng tasted it carefully, even drank the soup, and ate a few pieces of dessert as breakfast under Luo Ling's service.

Thinking of the formation of the Tuobei Regiment, now the soldiers of the third battalion, only the Bai Guangen division of the fourth division is stationed in Shenyang, and it is difficult to transfer manpower for the time being, so he asked He Xiaomi to go to the pro-soldiers to publicize, and at least one sergeant from 1,000 households will be transferred among the pro-soldiers.

The pro-soldier was the most suitable person, not only loyal, but also able to ride horses and use Xining rifles.

With only 3,000 soldiers, it was impossible for the Tuobei Regiment to participate in large-scale battles, and in the process of expanding northward, no one knew what would happen in the future, so the soldiers had to be able to attack and escape.

Xining rifles, mountain runs, and grenades are the best weapons for attack, and war horses are the legs of the soldiers, and they are also the best escape tools.

All this was arranged, Li Zicheng took dozens of soldiers and went to Shenyang to hang out, taking advantage of the early weather, he wanted to check the trade situation of the main markets and streets.

Shenyang is the capital of Liaoning Province, the seat of the provincial capital, and will gradually develop into Liaoning Province in the future, which is the central city of the entire Northeast China.

Agriculture can solve the problem of food and clothing, but it cannot solve the problem of prosperity and prosperity.

If the city wants to develop and prosper, it is inseparable from the development of commerce, and there are large land, houses and other real estate, all kinds of luxury goods, and small all kinds of daily necessities.

Li Zicheng changed into ordinary soldier clothes, almost walked around the city, was a little disappointed, and ran half the city until noon, before returning to Qingning Palace.

During lunch, Zhezhe saw that Li Zicheng had something on his mind, avoided everyone, and whispered: "Your Majesty, but Juan'er is young and will not wait for the emperor......"

"Ah...... What did the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan say, Juan'er is a good woman," Li Zicheng knew that Zhezhe was wrong, so he said: "I ran a circle and a half in Shenyang City today, and I am worried about the people in the city......"

"People?" Zhezhe was puzzled, Huang Taiji's living attendant was a very good emperor, but he never talked about the people except for formulating laws to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the Han people.

Li Zicheng happened to be idle and bored, so he said: "People say that the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan is wise and foolish, I don't know if the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan knows what the people need most?" ”

Zhezhe's face turned red, and he sneered: "The emperor has awarded ......" paused, and said: "The first need of the people is naturally to eat well, and then ...... Then it is a matter of taking a wife and having children......"

"The Empress Dowager Xiaoduan is really wise," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "People's first need is naturally survival, and then reproduction, but when these problems are solved, what will the people pursue?" ”

"This ......" Zhe Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that the marquis is worshipping the prime minister?" ”

Li Zicheng shook his head, "The number of places is limited, and it is not something that ordinary people can pursue." ”

"That'...... The slave and maid don't know......"

It happened that Luo Xiujuan came over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this, the slave and maid know that people, once they eat and drink without worry, they will want to get rich and earn more silver......

"Juan'er is right," Li Zicheng scratched her nose and said, "Once people have solved the problem of eating and drinking, they think about pastime and entertainment, and recreation and entertainment need silver." ”

Zhezhe is a little strange, the emperor of China, he should be in charge of everything, how can he think of such trivial things as the pastime and entertainment of the people? "The Emperor's Meaning ......"

"If the people want to be rich, they must have a trading market and let the merchants participate," Li Zicheng said: "What is there to produce near Shenyang?" ”

"Production?"

"It is to transport the products of Shenyang back to the customs, and then transport the daily necessities needed by Shenyang from the customs, and the merchants will become rich, and the people will also get some silver...... Therefore, what Shenyang produces is related to the future prosperity of the people of Shenyang!"

"In addition to land, cattle and sheep, Shenyang has no production......

Li Zicheng said happily: "Yes, cattle and sheep are the products of Shenyang, I will leave a trading place in the city, specialize in trading cattle and sheep, and sell them to Guannei, and the people of Shenyang will gradually have surplus money in their hands, but only cattle and sheep do not seem to be enough......

"So what else? In addition to the grassland, it is the ...... of the mountains."

"Big mountain?" Li Zicheng's heart moved, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, isn't there a lot of medicinal materials on the mountain, this is a priceless treasure...... He thought of the three treasures of the Northeast: ginseng, mink, and ura grass, as well as deer antler velvet and bear bile.

Shenyang has the Great Xing'an Mountains in the west and the Changbai Mountain in the east, as long as the herbs are transported back to Guannei, the people are rich and the business is prosperous, and it will not take a few decades for Shenyang to become the central city of Liaoning Province and even the northeast region......
