With the imperial court moving back to the capital, many brothels on the former brothel street were renovated and opened.
Among the many brothels that have opened, Huawu Pavilion has the best business, the girls there are the most beautiful, and they are proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
It is said that most of the girls in the building were selected from thousands of people in the south and were sent to the capital to cater to the preferences of the dignitaries in the capital.
Among all the charming girls in Huawu Pavilion, it was girl Qinyin who attracted Li Chengyi's attention the most.
On this day, Li Chengyi finally defeated other competitors and became the guest of Miss Qinyin. He drank wine and listened to Miss Qinyin playing the piano. The time was extremely comfortable at this moment.
结果
Li Chengyi looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who came in through the door and dispersed. When Anu came in last, he had a look of despair on his face.
Why is his life so miserable!
After finally entering Miss Qinyin's room, I was able to embrace the beauty for a while tonight, but I was disturbed by the eunuch who suddenly broke in.
Anu received Li Chengyi's resentful look and bowed to him expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, this old slave is under the order of the emperor. Please go back to the palace."
Li Chengyi put down his wine glass, straightened his robe, and sighed: "Anu, if you do this a few more times, your father and I may be so scared that I won't do it for the rest of my life. It's really terrible!"
Anu seemed to be unable to feel the roar in his heart, and made a gesture of invitation with a calm face, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is still waiting for you in the palace, please move."
Although Li Chengyi complained on his lips, he knew in his heart that if Anu came to him, his father must have something urgent or important to do with him. Otherwise, his father would not send Anu out.
He walked up to Miss Qinyin, held her cheek with his fingers, and said softly: "I'll let you go for now. My time is precious. I hope you won't let me down next time, and I can make up for it with today's time!"
After leaving the room, Anu and other palace maids and eunuchs followed him.
When we arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the Madam of Huawu Pavilion came up to us with a smiling face, "Oh, the prince is leaving now? Did you have fun?"
When Li Chengyi saw her approaching, he stopped, raised his lips and said to her: "I have something to do today, and my money is not wasted. Next time I come over, remember to ask Miss Qinyin to serve me!"
"." After hearing this, the madam was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's no problem. Your Majesty, please come back next time when you are free!"
She has never seen such a stingy prince. She has to make up for the time next time she comes. Could it be that half of the lifting doesn't count and she still needs to make up for it?
Li Chengyi was very satisfied with the attitude of the old madam. He left a few words and walked out, "The king has something to do today. Come back next time."
"Your Majesty, please go slowly!" the madam shouted to the backs of the group. Seeing that the figures had gone away, she waved her handkerchief and went to greet other guests.
After entering the palace, Anu directly led Li Chengyi to the emperor's study room.
"Your Majesty, the Fourth Prince is here."
Hearing this, Li Jingfu raised his head and waved to Li Chengyi, "Fourth, come here. I'll show you something."
Li Chengyi was curious about what was so rare to show him, so he walked over without being polite at all.
It was found that what was placed on the imperial desk was a map, but this map was different from Dayu's other maps. If you look carefully at this map, you can see that the sea and land are marked.
"Father, where did you find such a clear map?"
Li Jingfu pointed to the current location of Dayu and said: "This was collected by your mother. Look here is our current Dayu. The small island to the east is the home country of the Japanese pirates. A little higher up here is the Jurchen country. The wild land where we originally lived, horizontally across this large area, was once the grassland area of Beidi, and further to the west, we collectively call this large area the Western Regions."
As he said that, he pointed to the waters of Nanyang: "Now our fleet has a base here, and there is a large area of land further south. Next year, your mother is going to go to sea. From now on, you will help her transport supplies and be responsible for All preparations before setting sail.”
Li Chengyi was shocked when he heard this, "My mother wants to go to sea. The sea is too dangerous. Isn't it good to stay in the palace and have food and drink?"
Li Jingfu raised his hand and knocked Li Chengyi on the head, and cursed angrily: "Look at your ability, you are so picky when asked to do something. Go back and prepare today, and start work tomorrow! Don't go to those Hualou teahouses. Go shopping, if you let me know, be careful to break your dog legs."
He didn't even know what evil he had done to give birth to such a prodigal son who didn't seek to make progress.
At this time, Li Jingfu seemed to have forgotten that last time he thought his son was not too bad.
Li Chengyi covered his painful head with an aggrieved look on his face: "Am I wrong? Maritime dangers are everywhere. Isn't it good for the mother to stay in the palace and enjoy happiness? Why bother?"
Li Jingfu endured the itching of his hands and wanted to smash his head to see if it contained tofu dregs.
He pointed to several landmasses in the Southern Ocean and said: "Overseas minerals are rich. This gold mine has an amazing reserve. This is a large iron mine, and this is a silver mine. So many minerals are now ownerless. If we don’t occupy it, are we waiting for others to discover and excavate it?”
After hearing this, Li Chengyi stared at several places on the map, took a breath, and asked in disbelief: "Father, are you true or false? How do you know there are minerals in these places? "
"The ancestor told me in a dream, can't you?" Li Jingfu raised his leg and kicked him, urging: "Hurry back and prepare, and start doing business from tomorrow. If you don't fill up a hundred ships with supplies after the year, , I can’t spare you!”
"A hundred ships?" Li Chengyi exclaimed in fright, "Is the queen going to sea to mine or to build a country? Does she need the supplies of a hundred ships?"
"Don't be surprised here. Go back to me and get ready. I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow!"
Li Jingfu drove the people away impatiently. If he decided to go to sea together next year, he would have a lot to prepare and even more things to arrange.
Li Chengyi came out of the royal study and saw Anu standing outside the door. He asked the doubts in his heart: "Father entrusted such an important matter to me, isn't he afraid that I will mess up the matter?"
There are more than 100 sea-going ships. If there is a problem with the supplies he prepared, it will affect the lives of countless soldiers.
Anu raised her eyes and looked at him calmly, "The emperor entrusted the matter to the prince to handle the matter. Naturally, he trusts the prince's ability. Please don't have any doubts, prince. Just handle the matter with peace of mind."
Li Chengyi was speechless when he saw the trick, and immediately felt bored, waved his hand and walked away.

There has been no major court meeting these days. Li Jingfu even canceled the small court meeting today and went to Qingning Palace early in the morning.
Just as he entered the palace, he saw the palace maid coming out with a plate of fat, white buns, "Oh, it just so happens that I haven't had breakfast yet. Where is your queen? Ask her to come out and have breakfast together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps came from the back hall.
Xia Jing washed up and came out of the back hall, and walked towards Li Jingfu with a bare face.
As she moved around, more than a dozen maids in the palace came to pay her respects.
Xia Jing's eyes were clear and her posture was lazy. She seemed to have slept well last night and was in good spirits.Seeing Li Jingfu running up early in the morning, he was obviously surprised, but only for a moment before he sat down at the dining table and allowed the palace maid to serve her dishes.
Li Jingfu coughed and said, "Well, why didn't the queen wear any jewelry today? Is the jewelry in the palace out of date? If you don't like having a new batch of jewelry made, you can choose from it."
It has to be said that he had nothing to say, so Xia Jing glanced at him and explained: "In my own palace, I just want to be casual. Wearing jewelry is too cumbersome and uncomfortable."
Today's breakfast is very simple, a portion of red dates and black rice porridge, a few plates of pickles, and a plate of big meat buns.
Although the meal was simple, the aroma from the big meat buns made Li Jingfu salivate more than once.
"Queen, can we start eating?"
If he is not in his own palace, he has to obtain the master's permission to eat. Do you think he is a coward as an emperor?
But who calls the food in Qingning Palace delicious? Even if he is a coward, Li Jingfu is willing to listen to Xia Jing's orders.
After a night of digestion, Xia Jing was really hungry. She first took a bun and put it in Li Jingfu's bowl, "Eat it, you're welcome, the cook made a lot today."
Li Jingfu took the meat bun and took a big bite. The skin was thin, the filling was big, and the gravy was rich. "The buns you have here are the most delicious ones I have ever eaten. I wonder how your cook has developed her cooking skills?"
Faced with his compliment, Xia Jing smiled and said, "It's delicious, so you should control your food intake and don't overdo it."
"." Li Jingfu's happy brows froze slightly.
Xia Jing spoke again: "Why did you come to see me so early today?"
"It's okay, I just wanted to come over and have breakfast with you." Li Jingfu said vaguely while eating steamed buns.
Xia Jing nodded and ignored him. After breakfast, she asked the maid to sort the information she had prepared.
"Queen, where did you get so many books?"
"The things that have been sorted out by others will be handed over to the responsible persons later."
Li Jingfu glanced outside the palace door, "Oh, who did you announce today?"
Xia Jing looked through several piles of information and confirmed that they were correct before replying: "You will know when they come. Today is not a big court meeting, so you don't have to go to a small court meeting?"
"Cancelled. After so many days of work, I have to take a day off, otherwise my body will not be able to bear the stress!"
Not long after waiting, the first people to arrive were Zhang Shidao and Yan Shidao, who were once aides to Prince Qian's Mansion, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yan. They followed them from the capital to Lingnan, and then traveled all the way from Lingnan to Jiankang and finally back. Beijing.
Li Jingfu had already made a decree to let the two of them be responsible for the qualification verification of the capital school and the compilation of the teaching materials for the capital school. They would wait for the implementation in the capital to be successful and then spread it throughout the country.
The two of them can also be regarded as the leaders of Dayu's Ministry of Education.
Xia Jing pointed out the general direction to them. The specific implementation was up to the two of them to discuss. Xia Jing only looked at the final result.
After the two gentlemen left, Li Chengli also came over as ordered. Xia Jing gave him the prepared information and talked about the development direction of the machinery factory and the great prospects for the future. She only hoped that he would listen to these words and pay attention. Run the machinery factory well and strive to cultivate more technical talents. In the future, specific machinery can be divided into branch factories.
The last information was for the Bingzhan Bureau. Xia Jing copied the simple mechanical drawings in the space that fit the era. These drawings can be made by the Bingzhan Bureau as long as they use their care.
The drawings were just for them to follow. Xia Jing didn't want their ideas to be solidified, and she also pointed out the general direction of development to them. If she goes to sea next, I think they can slowly develop the second and third generations of machinery.
Li Jingfu didn't ask any more questions curiously from beginning to end. As for where she got the information, he didn't seem interested.
In fact, what Xia Jing can influence on this world is to provide them with ideas. If they encounter problems in the specific manufacturing process, they have to solve them themselves in the end.
Li Jingfu watched her finish handing out the materials she had prepared, then stood up and invited: "You should be fine now, how about we go to the capital while we are free today?"
After hearing what he said, Xia Jing looked at him in surprise: "You, an emperor, also like to go shopping?"
Li Jingfu seemed to be trying to save his last face, so he chuckled and said, "My purpose today is to go shopping with you."
"Oh."
Xia Jing nodded, it's up to you, you can accompany whomever you want.
The infrastructure construction of Dayu's capital city has ranked first in Dayu in recent years. No other city has done such a detailed renovation of the capital city. Even Lingnan Fucheng does not have the grandeur of the capital city.
In addition to the old and powerful neighborhoods, the north and south urban areas have undergone the greatest changes, especially the large area near the entrance to the south city. After Xia Jing's relocation plan, all residents who have houses in this area have now been relocated to resettlement communities outside the city.
After being demolished and rebuilt, this urban area has become more beautiful than the place where the old and powerful people live. The streets and public facilities are better, newer and more humane than the areas where the old and powerful people live.
On an ordinary carriage driving on the street, Xia Jing looked out the window and said happily: "The money invested in the early stage has finally been wasted. Basically all the houses built in this area have been sold out, and the money invested has already doubled." times. What I am most satisfied with is that the urban renewal did not use a penny from the national treasury."
Li Jingfu sighed, "Who could have thought of transforming the city back then, and it could be done without any money from the treasury? You have so many ideas. Today's streets in the capital are clean and flat, and there is no longer any mess like before."
"Oh, I discovered that Queen, you are very experienced in renovating cities. Every time a dirty and messy city is transformed by you, it can be transformed completely. It's amazing!"
Xia Jing felt much better after being praised, "It used to be so dirty because everyone didn't pay attention to hygiene. They liked to throw things away and urinate everywhere. In addition, the streets in the city were too old and repaired. Yes, it’s hard not to look ugly!”
Li Jingfu compared the current streets with those of the past, and there was really no comparison.
The two of them were strolling around and chatting in the carriage when suddenly there was a loud noise in front of them.
"What's going on in the front?" As soon as Li Jingfu asked, Ye Fei galloped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is a gathering of the Fuxing Poetry Society in the front. Those crazy scholars and scholars are showing off their literary talent to each other. Excited to win, he took off his clothes and ran around in the street, which attracted people on the street to watch and caused congestion. Do you think we should turn the horse's head?"
"Is there such a thing?" Li Jingfu opened the car curtain in shock, "Why didn't I encounter this kind of thing in the years when I was a dandy in the capital?"
If he had met him in the first place, he would have had no choice but to stand by and act like a spectator. (End of chapter)
