The ninth and thirtieth eighth chapter quilt
Zhulan felt that this year's days were very fast. It seemed that she had just celebrated the full moon for her granddaughter. She didn't think that she had lived a lot of days. The child had already entered the summer. Zhou Shuren's birthday was over.
Although it was not yet the dog days of summer, the sun was very strong, and the sun shook in the morning made people dizzy.
Zhulan was lying on the rocking chair and enjoying the girl's fanning. She could get the fruit on the low table with just reaching out. Unfortunately, she couldn't eat it too cold. She was a little drowsy as she thought about it.
"Grandma, grandma."
Zhulan was sleepy and opened her eyes to look at the two little girls running in, "You are the only two of us in our family. Let's talk, what do you want to do when you look for grandma?"
Yudie is the sister, and her idea is the biggest one. She came over with a favor, "Grandma, I won't take us when I go out. I still want to go to my future brother-in-law's house."
Yu Yi nodded, meaning she wanted to go too.
Zhulan pinched Yudie's nose, "It's useless for you to act coquettishly."
Last time I went, I almost scared Zhao. Her soul was about to fly away. The Hu family was empty. Even if Hu Xia sent the servants and girls over to the house, the Hu family's yard was still very empty. There were not many animals in this person, especially the snakes who woke up from hibernation.
The two little girls couldn't stay idle last time and ran around, but they saw a small snake. Yudie was not afraid. The girl who followed her was frightened and the woman hugged the two girls and ran away. This also scared Zhao, who was not far away, and Zhao almost fainted.
As a result, Zhao not only did not bring Yudie when he went out, but Yuyi was even more afraid of bringing him, for fear that something would happen and he could not explain to Chuchu.
Yudie didn't want to stay in the mansion, she wanted to go out, "Grandma, grandma."
Zhulan was not soft-hearted, "I am so spoiled by you two. Since I am so energetic, I will start learning the rules tomorrow."
Of course, this is to scare two granddaughters. The two children are still young, so it is good to be able to count. It is too early to recognize words and learn rules too early.
Yudie didn't dare to say anything anymore. Her brother wrote every day and taught her simple things, but she still couldn't remember them. Her head was like a rattle, and she pulled Yuyi and ran out.
Seeing that the two little girls were not falling, Zhulan said to Mrs. Song: "Yudie doesn't look like a girl, I think she is even naughty than Minghui."
Mrs. Song also thought Miss Yudie was lively, "It means the lady is healthy."
Zhulan said, "There are many girls in the family, and everyone has their own temper. Yuwen is already good at speaking, but she doesn't speak at all. This girl doesn't speak without opening her mouth. She just uttered a word when she's anxious."
Speaking of this, Zhulan smiled by herself. The little grandson Mingjia looked very much like Su Xuan. Since she spoke, she couldn't speak clearly and was not idle. Every time she was taught a lesson by Yuwen, the little grandson would definitely get a slap if she said too much.
The twins are very fun at this time. Mingjia has already helped her walk around to explore, while Yuwen can lie down and never sit. Every time Mingjia goes to the ground, Yuwen will lie down and watch.
In the palace, Zhou Shuren has been to the palace for too many times in the past six months, so he no longer counts it. He is very comfortable sitting on a chair and eating fruit.
The emperor leaned against the chair, with the window behind him open, and the air in the hall was well circulated but not hot. "This year's days passed so quickly."
Zhou Shuren had heard enough calmly and heard the emperor say that he was old and his heart was not waiting for him to beat. "It's true that I'm passing by quickly. My little granddaughter has been in a hundred days in a blink of an eye."
The emperor smiled and said, "In a few months, you will marry your daughter."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself that he would be happy and knew that your youngest son was going to get married. "Yes, I'm very reluctant to leave."
The emperor had no daughter so he couldn't feel it. He smiled, "It's not that far away. I can't bear to leave me in the capital."
Zhou Shuren was speechless, standing and talking without a pain in his back, but said, "What the emperor said is."
The emperor's thoughts were a little far away. For the first time in so many years, the treasury had no worries about money. Even if he spent a lot of money, the treasury's deposit of the treasury still made him feel at ease. Except for his bad sons, the government affairs were still relaxed. "I remember all my dear achievements in the Ministry of Revenue."
Zhou Shuren's heart moved, and he was about to rise again, and then he stopped thinking, it was impossible, he rose too quickly, "What should I do if I am a minister."
The emperor smiled, "I really like your personality."
Zhou Shuren thought for a while, "I also like my character."
He spoke much more easily now, but he felt that the emperor should reward him. He had chatted with him in the past few months and helped the emperor relieve a lot of pressure!
When Zhou Shuren thought of this, every time he entered the palace, the prince and Eunuch Liu were particularly enthusiastic and thought to himself that even if the emperor was already very rational, he was still a little too hard to do so and his emotions would be exposed.
Therefore, not only are the emperor rarely seen the ministers alone, but even the princes rarely seen each other, and it is said that they will not go to the harem.
The emperor asked again: "Your second son has been gone for half a year, so don't you worry about it?"
Zhou Shuren replied, "I am thinking about the sea being inconsistent, and sometimes I have nightmares, either the boat capsized or Changyi had something wrong abroad. It was not until Changyi sent a letter back a few days ago that I felt more at ease."
He didn't lie, he was really having a nightmare, and he didn't recover for several days. Fortunately, a letter was sent back, but the kid did not come back with the Xu family's fleet. He stayed abroad and said he would be back at the end of the year.
The emperor thought that there were no people in many places abroad, and he thought that with the prosperity of maritime trade, more and more courageous people were, some of whom had found gold, some who returned empty-handed and lost their money. "There are more foreigners who have settled in the past two years, and there are also areas in Pinggang, all of which are foreigners."
Zhou Shuren moved the corners of his mouth. He felt that this was not good. He could stay after buying a house. This was not possible. Moreover, he felt that he had lost too much money into the treasury, so he was just a person in charge of the money!
The emperor didn't look casually, and his eyes had never left Zhou Shuren. He cursed the old fox in his heart. He had long discovered that if he didn't take the initiative to dig, the old fox would like to stay still. "Your dear, you and my king and minister are the only ones here."
Zhou Shuren thought to himself, it was a big deal. He had thought about it for a long time and didn't say it, but when he met the emperor's eyes, he cursed in his heart. As expected, he was too relaxed. The emperor must have deliberately lowered his defense for several months. It must be, look at the emperor never relaxed at all, "I do have some ideas."
The emperor nodded, and his sitting posture changed, "You said."
Zhou Shuren organized a speech in his heart and said: "With the development of maritime trade, foreign countries will know the wealth of the mainland. In the past two years, most of them have come to settle down. Although the imperial court has controlled the number of settlers, there are many people who come secretly. Even if someone is sent to keep an eye on it, there will still be mistakes. So I wonder if I can apply for a residence permit for these foreigners, a hierarchical residence permit, and different levels of payment of different silver every year, and the purchase of houses, shops, etc. is controlled according to the level of the residence permit. As for the land minister, I think it is not allowed to buy it, and I can rent it, but I can only rent it once a year."
Zhou Shuren paused and continued: "There are also laws for foreigners, or when applying for a residence permit, we must clearly comply with our country's laws. Foreign business licenses must be applied for, and guarantees are required. This will prevent some foreigners from cheating money and running away."
