Bian Saisai came back from the queen, but saw that all the palace maids in his palace were beaten. She couldn't help but feel a little strange. She brought her close-fitting palace maids to the bedroom. Through the curtain, she saw a pair of crystal-clear feet hanging in the air. Her seductive and beautiful moan made her face turn red.

How could she not know that her sister is here? There is only one person who can pick it freely in the palace.

Bian Saisai blushed and turned away the palace maid, reached out and pulled out the jade hairpin behind her head. The look of her head suddenly poured down. Her black hair was like a waterfall, which made her beautiful face suddenly add a little more charming.

The laces were hooked, and the gorgeous hairpin was worn with her hair, leaving only a scarlet little robe, and slowly approached the bed.

The cherries fall and the spring returns, and the butterflies fly lightly and pinks.

-----

The spring rain was like silk, falling one by one. Hou Xuanyan stretched out and slept beautifully. When he woke up, his waist and hips were still a little fluffy.

I exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the troubles I had just forgotten surged into my heart again.

No matter how much you talk or make a fuss, Chen Ming encountered the problems mentioned, but he could not fail to solve them.

Jinling has a population of nearly one million. Once food shortage is unimaginable, it is the empire's confidant.

Fortunately, the road is wide and flat now, and the transportation of canals is convenient and fast. It is not difficult to transport grain in time. The difficulty lies in where the grain comes from...

Since Hou Xuanyan came to power, he has vigorously promoted industry and commerce, and has led to the prosperity of the whole country's commerce. Merchant ships are everywhere, but these merchant ships generally do not like to transport grain directly, because no matter how expensive the grain is, it is not as good as selling silk and transporting spices.

At this time, the importance of Liaodong was revealed. Liaodong has fertile farmland. It really doesn’t have to be poor in the land in Jiangnan. Moreover, the land is vast and sparsely populated. The people who just poured into Liaodong have hundreds of thousands of people. As long as the land in Liaodong is opened, it will be a big granary.

At that time, military rations will not have to rely on Jiangnan. The food crisis in Jinling will be self-defeated. The only thing to worry about is the problem this year.

Bian Saisai was buried in Hou Xuanyan's arms, but his sister was curled up with tears on the corners of her eyes, and she was sleeping soundly.

Hou Xuanyan's big hand rubbed the jade back, and his mind quickly turned, thinking about how to deal with this difficult problem.

During this period, the gods were not good, and natural disasters were everywhere. Many places in the Central Plains, let alone taxes and food were provided by the court.

After thinking about it for a while, Hou Xuanyan finally got up, patted Bian Saisai beside him, and said, "Get paper and pen."

When he was considering state affairs, Bian Yujing did not dare to disturb him. Now he put on a veil, twisted Yingying's slender waist and went to pick up the four treasures of the study.

In the concubine's boudoir, Bian Saisai poured the best cinnabar tribute ink into water and grind it carefully. Then he took a purple wolf hard hair, moistened it while washing it, and held a brush in his hand for Hou Xuanyan's instructions.

Hou Xuanyan sat carelessly on the chair, pinching his soft and plump buttocks, and said casually: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said:

I heard that the fields were deserted and there were many people who were vegetarians. There were some people who stated that the fields were suitable for the present, and that country should be brought to the state. Now there were chaos in the Western Rong, and many border troops were raised, and millions of troops were deployed to pacify Liaodong. The country was exhausted and the people were in power and their people were empty.

This is a special order to exempt the land tax for three years, and to benefit small farmers so that they can work with peace of mind, but the public has no benefit to them.

The food in the imperial city is reduced by half from me and the queen. The six ministers and nine ministers, officials at all levels, should be frugal and be an example for the subjects of the world.

Imperially ordered the treasure of March 10th of the first year of Huatianshou”

Hou Xuan gave a speech, and Bian Saisai, who was standing aside, wrote a sentence. After saying that, the edict was completed.

The edict performed by Hou Xuan is by no means groundless. With the prosperity of the economy, a luxury trend is emerging from Jinling.

Extravagance and waste, comparison and boast are common.

If this unhealthy trend is not suppressed in time, it will inevitably lead to a regression in the construction of Dahua's spiritual civilization, and the progressive atmosphere at the beginning of the founding of the country will be suppressed.

The reason for exempting the land tax is to encourage everyone to farm with peace of mind. Although there are many factories now, they do not occupy too much farmland. As long as the policies are appropriate, people will definitely farm.

What the court lacked was not money, but money could not buy food, as long as someone farmed.

The edict was sent to Wenyuan Pavilion. Chen Mingyu was amazed and called the emperor to the emperor's wise. Soon this edict was issued to the whole country. It is conceivable that in the future, the situation where no one farmed was improved.

The next morning, the British, who had been in Jinling for half a month, decided to return to China. Hamilton met the emperor here. This time, Hou Xuanyan met him at Nuanfang Pavilion.

In this half month, the sense of the Chinese dynasty was completely changed. This was not a foolish and backward Eastern country. From the emperor to the entire country, they were very enlightened and advanced.

At the Jianshi Pavilion, they saw steam textile machines that were released early. No wonder Dahua's merchants can transport endless high-quality cotton cloths to sell them all over the world. It turns out that their scale and technology have far surpassed other countries.

There are also the artillery in the martial arts hall, and the terrifying barrel, which wished to be stabbed into the sky. The one shot almost shattered their eardrums, and the huge power made the British stunned.

Hamilton finally understood why Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands lost so quickly. In addition to the Netherlands, which also owns the East Indies (Indonesia), all other colonies were lost.

Such artillery cannot be resisted by Western warships. Hamilton did not know the scale of the Huachao Navy, otherwise he would have shouted God long ago.

Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "After you return to China, remember to greet Cromwell on my behalf, and the quality of our Dahua products, you should spread it according to the facts."

Hamilton lowered his head and said, "His Majesty, please rest assured that Dahua's merchants have achieved great success in Europe. I don't think I need to help them with good words."

"Haha" Hou Xuanyan was very happy. Looking at the golden and blue-eyed British man, he was a little cute. He stood up and said, "We Han people have a saying that it is impolite to call him and not to go back. I plan to send a few ships to the UK, so I will work with you."

Hamilton agreed happily, and Gu Yanwu next to him stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder who you are bringing?"

Hou Xuanyan pondered and said, "Who wants to go there for the family of all the people?"

Everyone looked at each other. The West was too far away, and it was not a wild heart. Who would want to go? At this time, Yezi came, and Wang Fuzhi stepped out and said, "I am willing to share your worries for Your Majesty."

"Okay, Wang Qing's family can select young people from the craftsman hall to go. After that, they will travel to various countries to express my kindness. In addition, they will take the students from the martial arts hall to draw maps of the exchanges, collect information, and prepare for my Western Expedition to Spain."

These words were not translated to Hamilton. He stretched his neck and was confused. Wang Fuzhi had already received the order to thank him.
