Chapter 117
Zhu Youlang was not idle during this period. In addition to government affairs, he allocated 50,000 taels of silver to purchase wood, equipment, and cotton yarn raw materials, and asked the craftsmen in the craftsmen to manufacture more than 500 new four-spin spinning machines. He opened a royal spinning workshop next to the craftsmen.?? w?w?w?

The spinners needed for spinning were also selected. There were many families in the craftsman camp who knew how to spin. Zhu Youlang decided to let them make the first batch. After the work started, each person had a piece-based salary ranging from three cents to three taels per person. With silver and money as bait, those families were very enthusiastic and could subsidize the household income with more money and grain, so they were naturally very happy. This was also a disguised method of subsidizing the craftsman camp. If the manpower was not enough, they would recruit them in the city. Nowadays, everyone flocked to them if they had enough food, let alone had a lot of money to get.
Zhu Youlang, the head of the spinning workshop, decided to choose Zhao. This woman is not only a good-looking man, but also a spinning expert. It is most suitable for the leader in textile cotton yarn.
Although there are people in charge of textile cotton yarn, the people in charge of selling cotton yarn outside have not yet settled. No wonder Zhu Youlang has been unable to find a suitable staff. After all, the people in charge of selling cotton yarn must not only be loyal, but also know how to do business and have experience in business. No matter whether it is a court official, a clerk, an internal supervisor or a guard in the yamen, they cannot be competent for this position.
Just when he was helpless, Liu Jiangtou, from the craftsman camp, boldly reported that he had a relative named Yan Zunmei, a small tooth merchant in Guilin City. Although he was not doing well, he had decades of business experience and was an old merchant who was good at calculating. He could find a way to recruit him to Xingdu and help the royal family to buy and sell cotton yarn. Zhu Youlang was overjoyed when he heard this and told Liu Jiangtou to take care of the relative at all means. Liu Jiangtou finally lived up to expectations and recruited his relatives and more than a dozen business-oriented friends to Xingdu. Zhu Youlang immediately appointed the tooth merchant named Yan Zunmei as the head of the trade, responsible for the sales and sale of cotton yarn.
Due to lack of funds, the treasury has not yet had the money to buy sea boats, so the cotton cloth made by spinning workshops is mainly sold domestically. It is just starting out, and the number of cotton cloth and linen produced by the workshops is not large. Even if Guangdong and Guangxi is in a bad state due to the war economy and the market is not good, it can be completely digested.
A few days later, the fleet sent by Chen Bangyan to transport money and grain arrived in Xingdu. Although he felt that there must be a lot of results from the house confiscation, Zhu Youlang was still shocked when he really got the specific amount.
"More than three million taels! There are so many!"
No wonder those veterans and thieves like to loot. They work hard to manage themselves not only time-consuming and labor-intensively, but also have less early income. They are far less as robbing, and they are far less money and more money.
However, this is a very short-sighted behavior. The gains from looting are limited. If you eat up more, you will be consumed. You can only get a temporary piece, but you cannot enjoy long-term benefits just like "farming" and never stop, so you will not take it by the wise.
He suddenly gained a huge wealth of more than 3.3 million taels. Seeing the whole box of gold and silver moving from the ship into the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue, Yan Qiheng, who was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, smiled from ear to ear. In a short period of time, the center finally didn't have to worry about money.
Zhu Youlang was also very excited, with a rare smile on his face, and came to the harem. Since he traveled through time to become Emperor Yongli, he has been busy for life. He personally took charge of the war and fought on the front line. He was busy handling government affairs in normal times and reviewed memorials until late at night. He rarely entered the harem for several months.
Therefore, when Queen Wang heard about the arrival of the emperor, she was overjoyed and welcomed Zhu Youlang to the dormitory at the door. She waved her hand to drive away the palace maid, and took off Zhu Youlang's wing crown and dragon robe, and put on her own light and flowing silk casual clothes.
"The emperor is full of spring breeze today. What kind of happy events must be there? Can you briefly tell me and share it?"
"Haha, there is no better wife than wife." Zhu Youlang smiled and said, "In recent months, the central government has been short of food and wages, which has made me worry. Fortunately, Chen Qing has lived up to his expectations and rectified the garrison and recovered the money and grain. In just ten months, he raised more than three million taels of silver for emergency relief. Now all of them have been released into the warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue. I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
When Queen Wang saw Zhu Youlang, she was very excited and said, "As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand troops, but it is hard to find a general. I congratulate the emperor on his joy of winning a hero."
Zhu Youlang laughed and said, "The weather is good outside. Let's go and go to the back garden to take a walk."
After saying that, Zhu Youlang excitedly took Queen Wang's hand and walked towards the back flower garden.
In the back garden of the inner palace, Zhu Youlang and Empress Wang walked side by side on the blue brick path. The corridor made of the blue bricks inlaid with the characters "man" winding among the relaxed green cypresses.
The dense and huge tree canopy blocks the fiery sunset, and only rays of light leak in the gaps, varying in size, and different highlights dotted on the blue brick road, which is a different flavor.
The two of them held hands, as if they had forgotten the eunuchs and palace maids following behind them, as if they were the only two of them in the whole world.
Before they knew it, they had already walked to the pavilion in the heart of the garden. The palace maids had already set up their seats. The round stone table was covered with tablecloths, four plates of snacks and two plates of fruit.
Zhu Youlang peeled an orange for Queen Wang. Queen Wang shyly took the orange, tore off a piece, and put it gently into her mouth. Zhu Youlang also picked up an orange and started eating it happily. While chatting about interesting things, the two of them ate the orange, laughing and laughing. After the orange was finished, Zhu Youlang ordered people to remove the plate and asked the eunuchs and palace maids to retreat. Only the two of them were left in the pavilion.
The two of them stood up and left their seats in a sympathy, and came to the seat with a backrest beside the pavilion. Facing the sunset, they leaned against each other. Queen Wang's right shoulder snuggled against Zhu Youlang's left chest and murmured: "It's rare that the emperor is so happy today. Let's let go of state affairs, let me serve the emperor well and live a happy day."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to issue an order right away. Even if there are big things, I will leave them for tomorrow."
After a day of hard work, the sun seemed to be tired. It fell on the horizon to the west, its face flushed, and the light emitted had lost the heat of the day, but it dyed the clouds in the sky into thousands of colorful clouds.
On this day, Zhu Youlang and Empress Wang were together, and they kept visiting the back garden until dusk fell and returned to the bedroom.
In the evening, because he was in a happy mood, Zhu Youlang specially asked Dianshenshi to add a few more dishes. After traveling through time, the string in his mind was tense. It was rare to have such a relaxed and pleasant time. He didn't drink much in his previous life, but tonight, he drank four Shaoxing "Daughter Red" with Empress Wang, and Empress Wang also drank one with him.
After drinking, the palace maids of the internal prison removed the remaining soup and then brought hot water to serve the two of them. After the shower, Queen Wang waved her hand and rushed the palace maids and officials to the outside of the hall, closed the door of the hall, gently blew out the excess lights in the dormitory, leaving only one beside the collapse, illuminating the bed.
Zhu Youlang had drunk so much wine in the first time, and was a little overwhelmed. He sat on the bed, looking at Queen Wang in a drunken way with a candlelight. Queen Wang had already retired from her crown and clothes, and was wearing only a plain underwear as thin as Zen wings. Her graceful figure appeared in the dim candlelight, her plump buttocks were round, her thighs were smooth and tender, and a faint fragrance came to her nose.
Zhu Youlang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the more he looked at her, the more beautiful she felt. He gently stepped off his clothes for Queen Wang.
Queen Wang felt Zhu Youlang's fiery ****. Her heart pounded, her face flushed, and her breathing became more and more rapid, but she did not stop Zhu Youlang's actions. She allowed him to retreat the last shame-covering object on her body and looked at her unbridled body without restraint.
Zhu Youlang could no longer hold it back and rushed forward...
Time passed, and it seemed that there were only two people of fire-like desires burning in the sky and earth, and gradually merged into one as it burned.
