Ming Dynasty: My Father Zhang Juzheng

Chapter 176 Are you sweating profusely?
The moon is rising over the building, and the night is as cool as water.

After the couple made love for a while, Xu Ruoxi was sweating profusely, her hair was messy, and she lay in her husband's arms like a kitten.

Thinking about what happened during the day, she always felt weird.

The Queen Mother was indeed kind, but she was a little too kind.

He talked to her about family matters and finally gave her a poem written by her father-in-law and asked her to take it back.

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something?" Zhang Yunxiu asked, hooking his wife's wet pink back.

Xu Ruoxi came back to her senses. She raised her head, stared into her husband's eyes, and asked with courage: "My husband, I feel that the Queen Mother seems to like you a little bit."

Before she finished speaking, Zhang Yunxiu covered her lips with his hands and warned her fiercely: "Don't say this casually, no one can, understand? Otherwise, our family will be in calamity."

Xu Ruoxi blinked her big eyes in response.

Zhang Yunxiu then let her go, and then murmured to himself: "The Queen Mother is also a woman, but this is the palace of the Ming Dynasty, not the palace of the Qin Dynasty. The Queen Mother is upright and elegant, and behaves politely. Naturally, she will not do anything out of line."

"Husband." Xu Ruoxi called softly.

"what happened?"

"The Queen Mother told you not to bully me."

"Oh, then tell me how I bullied you?"

"Not yet." Xu Ruoxi smiled complacently, and suddenly muttered, "But you never know in the future. If I become an old and ugly woman, you will definitely look for a younger woman."

Zhang Yunxiu shook his head and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

This girl has a lot on her mind. She just got married and she's already thinking about the future. According to what she said, that person will die in the end, so why not get married now?
Seeing her husband remained silent, Xu Ruoxi stuck out her tongue and snorted with the fragrance of orchids: "A mother is honored by her sons. If my husband is willing to give Ruoxi a son, Ruoxi will not go to the Queen Mother to complain about you."

"Well, well, I suddenly remembered that I still have some official business to deal with. You go to sleep first and don't have to wait for me." Zhang Yunxiu was sweating profusely and struggled to get up.

Xu Ruoxi didn't know where she got the strength from, but she hugged Zhang Yunxiu's neck.

The two bodies pressed together.

The woman's wet body was filled with heat, and because of the sweat she produced, the fragrance of her body became more and more intense.

"Husband, are you scared?" Xu Ruoxi said, deliberately posing in an extremely seductive posture.

A few days ago, she was still a conservative woman who would blush even if she was kissed.

After these few days of making love, this girl appears to be well-behaved and pure on the surface, but secretly she has become a bit coquettish.

Now this seductive look is revealed.

Zhang Yunxiu almost lost his mind.

Thinking that the public grain tax should not only be paid here, but also Zheng Xier should not be left behind.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, put his hand on Xu Ruoxi's head, and said seriously: "Please understand me, I am really tired today, another day, another day"

Xu Ruoxi was already in such a state, so there was no way she would wave her hand.

So, she took the opportunity to slip into Zhang Yunxiu's arms, and her delicate hands slid down his chest.

Rapidly passed over the lower abdomen.

then
Zhang Yunxiu's body trembled, his eyes turned bloodshot, and his breathing was as heavy as a cow's.

Damn it, just die!
Early the next morning, Zhang Yunxiu walked out of the room, holding on to the wall.

After a quick wash and breakfast, Zhang Yunxiu hurried to find Han San. Han San met him in the duty room, and after the greetings, he led Zhang Yunxiu to the bedroom behind the duty room to rest.

Because the previous governor of the Northern Pacification Office retired, Han San took over the Northern Pacification Office as he wished.

According to the official system, this was just a fourth-rank military officer, above whom there were assistant commanders, associate commanders, and commanders-in-chief.

But in terms of power, the Northern Pacification Office's pacification was second only to the commander-in-chief.

There is no other reason, it is just because the governors of these two towns not only directly manage the Jinyiwei Yamen.

And he also had the right to meet the emperor. As soon as Han San took office, he renovated the duty room and expanded a small compartment for rest.

When the two men sat down, Han San noticed that Zhang Yunxiu's eyes were bloodshot and his lips were pale, and it was obvious that he had been "overworked".

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly thought of something. He smiled and said, "Sir, do you still remember the Master Zhao from Mount Longhu?"

"The liar who sells aphrodisiacs?" Zhang Yunxiu asked.

"I'm not a liar, it really works." Han San shook his head and boasted, "Since I took the medicine to strengthen my body, I feel energetic every day, and my wives and concubines have asked me to take in more women."

Listening to Han San's boasting, Zhang Yunxiu was moved.

Just as he was about to ask for advice, he suddenly remembered the main purpose of his visit today, so he frowned and shouted, "You are now the governor of a town, but you don't do your job properly all day long, and you just think about these dirty and filthy things. What kind of talk is that?"

"You are right, sir. You are right, sir." Han San nodded repeatedly to admit his mistake.

"Okay, let's talk about the medicine later." Zhang Yunxiu casually mentioned this matter and asked about the main business: "Let me ask you, how is the reconstruction of the house in Xicheng going?"

So that's why you came here.

Han San suddenly had a clue in his mind. He nodded first, then explained in an orderly manner: "The first batch of houses has been built, and a total of more than 2,000 households can live in it."

"It was built exactly according to the drawings you gave me."

As he spoke, Han San stood up and walked to the locker on the left, opened it and took out one of the drawings.

Expand it and take a look.

I saw that the building was five stories high, with tall buildings on all four sides, east, west, south and north, and a large open space in the middle.

"Yes, let's build it like this."

Zhang Yunxiu nodded and moved on to the second matter.

The second thing was to transfer some of the people in Beijing to Tianjin.

This has two advantages: first, Beijing is less crowded, which can better play the role of the capital and share the pressure borne by the capital. Second, Tianjin has a special geographical location and is located in the north.

His prosperity is of great significance to the capital.

After hearing this, Han San scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Sir, you also know that these old Beijingers who speak with a Beijing accent care most about face. In the past, they thought they were obedient subjects under the feet of the emperor."

"Psychologically, they are superior to others. In their eyes, the Ming Dynasty is only different from the capital and other places."

"Don't want to leave?" Zhang Yunxiu interrupted.

"Yes."

"More money? Tax reductions? Still unwilling to leave?"

Han San didn't say anything when he heard the voice. He was also a native of Beijing.

To be honest, even he himself was reluctant to leave Beijing, so it was somewhat difficult for him to urge others to leave now.

"Ten thousand people." Seeing that he was silent, Zhang Yunxiu directly gave a hard target.

"what?"

"This year, we will move 10,000 people from the capital to Tianjin. Remember, they must have skilled workers. After they go to Tianjin, all taxes will be exempted for two years. If they are short of money for business, we can lend them money."

This is something you can give a try.

Han San thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed, and suddenly said respectfully: "By the way, sir, we took advantage of the chaos a few days ago to let Sun Xiang go. We will send a fleet according to your wishes and let him go to Malacca to do business."

"Well, I trust you to do the job." Zhang Yunxiu smiled.

Han San kept saying he didn't dare and kept saying nice things to Zhang Yunxiu.

Zhang Yunxiu wanted to urge him to finish, so he stood up and left. Han San walked him to the door and asked in a low voice, "Where should I send the medicine?"

"Go find me another house and tell the two ladies that I have important matters to attend to these days and will not be returning."
