Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chongzhen a few times, "My lord, I heard that Sun Ge's old soldiers were defeated, and the last soldiers and horses of the imperial court were completely wiped out. I'm afraid that the lord might make a mistake, so I want to come and have a look." .

Because there was no notification in advance, I also ask the emperor to forgive me. "

"You really don't know what rules are. Did you just come to Yushufang without notification? Do you think this is your home? Come and leave whenever you want?" Gao Qiqian stood next to Chongzhen, with a strange look of yin and yang ironically.

"Go down, I want to talk to my companion." Chongzhen said.

"But he has an affair with thief Zhao, what if he is not good for the emperor?" Gao Qiqian became anxious.

"No, I trust him." Chongzhen said.

Seeing that Chongzhen insisted on this, Gao Qiqian couldn't say anything more.

When he walked out of the imperial study and passed by Cao Huachun, Gao Qiqian gave Cao Huachun a hard look.

"Get up, come to my side. It's been a long time since I had a good talk with my big companion." Chongzhen said in a calm voice.

Cao Huachun hurriedly thanked him, and then stood beside Chongzhen respectfully.

As for Wang Chengen, he stood respectfully behind Cao Huachun.

"Big companion, I haven't talked to you for a long time." Chongzhen looked at Cao Huachun.

"Although I haven't listened to the teachings of the emperor for a long time, I always remember the teachings of the emperor before." Cao Huachun replied.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the court soldiers and horses led by Elder Sun Ge have all been annihilated, and the court can't do without soldiers and horses.

Now the court is in trouble and has no money.I have accumulated a lot of family property here, and I came today to dedicate these property to Your Majesty and recruit soldiers and horses again. " Cao Huachun replied.

After listening to Cao Huachun's words, Chongzhen felt a lot more comfortable.

"You still understand me. As for your family property, you can keep it for yourself. Today's capital has become an isolated city. I used the money I got from the British princes to recruit new troops in Beizhili. Now , The young and strong men in Beizhili have almost been recruited by me. It is not so easy to recruit a sufficient number of soldiers and horses.

Moreover, even if those soldiers and horses are recruited, can they stop Zhao thief's soldiers and horses? "Although Chongzhen's tone was calm, there was helplessness in his words.

"I haven't talked to you for a long time, you can walk with me to relax." Chongzhen stood up and walked outside.

Cao Huachun hurriedly followed, and Wang Chengen also hurriedly followed behind Cao Huachun.

Chongzhen was walking in the palace, although the eunuchs and maids in the palace saluted respectfully when they saw Chongzhen, but Chongzhen always felt that these people no longer had awe when they looked at him.

If it was put in the past, Chongzhen might punish a few people, but now, Chongzhen doesn't have the slightest thought.

Chongzhen walked randomly in the palace, walked out of the palace, and came to the Baiguoyuan in the north of the palace.

There is a mountain in Baiguoyuan, called Meishan, or Zhenshan, or Longevity Mountain.

There is a very famous tree on the mountain called "Sin Huai", but this name does not exist yet.

At the foot of the mountain is the royal garden, which has everything that one expects to find. Because it is full of various fruit trees, it is called Baiguoyuan.

Chapter 672 Xuan Town Night Market

Chongzhen walked into Baiguoyuan and walked up to the famous Meishan Mountain in later generations.

Chongzhen walked slowly on the Meishan Mountain, from which the imperial palace could just be overlooked.

Chongzhen stood on the top of Meishan Mountain, overlooking the palace.

"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!" Chongzhen suddenly felt emotional.

Chongzhen understood that in a short time, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains would become someone else's.

Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen stood quietly behind Chongzhen.

Chongzhen came to the crooked neck tree, but he didn't look at the crooked neck tree, he just glanced at it casually, and then walked past the crooked neck tree.

By the time Chongzhen returned to the palace, it was already afternoon.

After dinner, Chongzhen came to the bedroom early.

If it were in the past, Chongzhen would definitely be reviewing the memorial in the imperial study at this time.But now, Chongzhen was not in the mood to review the memorial at all, so he let the memorial be placed in the imperial study.

Chongzhen originally didn't want to accept Cao Huachun's family property, but Chongzhen really couldn't hold back Cao Huachun, so he took Cao Huachun's family property.

After accepting it, Chongzhen asked Cao Huachun to take his property out of the city and recruit soldiers and horses in Beizhili.

In fact, this method was also proposed by Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun took his family property and Wang Chengen and other entourages out of the capital, and recruited soldiers and horses in Beizhili.

Cao Huachun was still very loyal to Chongzhen, although some people in later generations said that when Li Zicheng attacked the capital, it was Cao Huachun who opened the city gate.

This is nonsense at all, because when Li Zicheng attacked the capital, Cao Huachun had already been released by Chongzhen because of his old age.

……

Time passed slowly, and Zhang Dong also led the soldiers and horses of the Guards back to Xuanzhen.

Zhao Wen also started a new round of recruiting soldiers and horses. This time, he recruited reserve soldiers. Zhao Wen planned to use these newly recruited soldiers and horses to replace the reserve soldiers and horses stationed around Xuan Town.

As the due date of Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu got closer, Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu also entered the delivery room together.

Zhao Wen's heart also suddenly lifted, although this is the second time for Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu to have children, but in this era, the mortality rate of women giving birth is very high, no matter how high the status is, there are still many risk.

During the period when Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu were about to give birth, Liu Wenzhong and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty made a memorial.

It is suggested that Zhao Wenguang open the harem to enrich the harem.Their purpose is very simple, that is to let Zhao Wen have more children.

In this era, the matter of the emperor's son is the country's top priority.

That's right, now Zhao Wen has ascended the throne as emperor, but he only has two wives.

According to the views of this era, no matter what, Zhao Wen's wives are really few.

Not to mention the 32 concubines in the south courtyard of the harem, nor the three thousand beauties in the harem, at least there must be ten.

Otherwise, such a large foundation would not work with only a few offspring.

After Zhao Wen knew about this proposal, he also understood what Liu Wenzhong and the others were thinking.

It's not that Zhao Wen is hypocritical, there is no man in this world who doesn't want to have more wives.

However, now that Li Xiaoying and Hai Lanzhu are due to give birth soon, it is not suitable to marry a wife at this time, so Zhao Wen pushed back the child after the full moon.

It is already the beginning of November, and the new year will be over after the child is full moon.After the new year, it is also a good time to take advantage of this time to get a concubine.

……

Zhao Wen was dressed in casual clothes, leading Chen Donglai and eight or nine bodyguards with bulging waists, wandering aimlessly on the streets of Xuan Town.

It was already afternoon, and the sun was about to set, but the number of pedestrians on the street did not decrease because of this reason.

Beside the street lamps in a street, there are some tables and chairs, and there are several barbecue pits beside the tables and chairs.

The appearance of these grills is no different from the grills of later generations, and these grills were improved by Zhao Wen.

Moreover, the barbecue of this era was passed down from Zhao Wen.

Standing next to one of the barbecue pits was a thick-waisted man with a towel hanging around his neck, busy working beside the grill.

At this time, several common people were already sitting on the chairs of this barbecue stall.

The big man skillfully lit the charcoal in the grill, and then put the dressed beef and mutton on it.

As the charcoal fire roasted, the beef and mutton began to sizzle, and the big man kept brushing it with a brush soaked in chili oil.

When the brushing was almost done, the big man took out a few iron boxes from the table next to the grill, squeezed a few pinches of seasoning from the inside, and sprinkled them on top.

A burst of fragrance hits the face, although the taste cannot be compared with the later generations, it is still tempting.

In addition to this big man, there are also a few people who look like buddies, who are helping him.In front of the barbecue pit next to it, there are still a few people busy.

These barbecue grills are also owned by a man, whose barbecue stand is near here and is well-known far and wide.

In fact, peppers have been introduced to Daming a long time ago, and there are still a lot of peppers in the southeast coast.

It’s just that when the people of Daming in this era ate chili for the first time, they were so stimulated by the spicy taste that they thought it was poisonous, so they always used it as an ornamental plant.

Zhao Wen knew the delicacy of chili peppers, so a few years ago, he asked someone to get a batch of chili peppers from the southeast coast and started planting them in Xuan Town.

After years of promotion, today's chili has become an indispensable condiment in Xuanzhen.

Came with peppers, and sweet potatoes.

In the 21st year of Wanli, sweet potatoes were brought back from Luzon by a sea merchant named Chen Zhenlong.

Chen Zhenlong may have his own selfish intentions in bringing sweet potatoes back from Luzon, but his contribution to this land is undoubtedly huge.

The sweet potato is not good in appearance and looks like a lump of soil, but it is such a small sweet potato that promotes the growth of the population.

Zhao Wen asked people to bring sweet potatoes from the southeast coast, and they promoted them in Xuan Town.

But this thing is ugly in appearance and unattractive in appearance. In addition, under the governance of Zhao Wen, Xuan Town has no shortage of food. In addition to farming, the common people can also work in factories. No matter how they live, they can live. It is very good, so at the beginning, many people in Xuan Town were unwilling to plant this thing.

Although the common people are unwilling to plant, Zhao Wen cannot allow the situation to develop like this.

Zhao Wen set aside a large amount of land outside Xuan Town to grow sweet potatoes.

In addition, Zhao Wen also took out the vermicelli processing method of later generations, and processed the planted sweet potatoes into vermicelli.

Vermicelli is storage-resistant and can be stored for a long time.

It is precisely because of the sweet potatoes and the food shipped from Southeast Asia and Java that Zhao Wen's continuous expansion can be supported.

Under Zhao Wen's promotion, the people of Xuanzhen also gradually accepted this new alien species.

"Let's eat here!" Zhao Wen pointed to the barbecue booth and swallowed.

"Your Majesty, no, master, it's not suitable, just in case..." Chen Donglai frowned, looking at the big man who was busy.

Zhao Wen is the emperor. From Chen Dong's point of view, the food at this kind of roadside stall is not guaranteed. Does anyone know if there is any problem?What should I do if I eat something?

"What if?" Before Chen Donglai could finish speaking, Zhao Wen interrupted Chen Donglai's voice. "I think it's good here, it's no big deal, just eat here."

Zhao Wen walked up to the big man as he spoke.

"What are you doing today?" Zhao Wen looked at the big man and asked.

"Guest officer, today we have fresh beef and mutton, as well as haggis, pork kidneys, lamb kidneys and so on." The big man immediately greeted the guests with a smile.

The big man didn't recognize Zhao Wenlai. Although many people in Xuanzhen had seen Zhao Wen at Zhao Wen's enthronement ceremony, who could think of this ordinary man in front of him with the high-ranking emperor?

"Is your food fresh?" Chen Donglai pointed at the meat skewers on the grill with a reluctance.

"Look at what you said. These are all beef and sheep slaughtered at noon today. They are fresh. Although my stall is not big, the amount of beef and mutton I consume every day is very large. The beef and mutton I need every day is not enough. Why? Maybe there's still some left?" The man didn't think what Chen Donglai said, and explained with a smile.

"Old Wang, are my ten skewers of mutton skewers and ten skewers of beef skewers ready? Waiting to eat!"

A rough voice sounded.

"Okay, okay, I'll be here soon." The stall owner called Lao Wang hurriedly shouted, and then took out a plate from the table next to him, and put the beef and mutton skewers on the plate.

"How many people, do you want to sit first?" The stall owner looked at Zhao Wen.

"Okay, you're here today!" Zhao Wen replied with a smile, then walked in and sat on a chair inside the booth.

"Give me [-] skewers of roasted kidneys, lamb kidneys, [-] skewers of mutton, and [-] skewers of beef." Zhao Wen yelled at the top of his voice just as he sat down.

Chen Donglai stood beside Zhao Wen. Hearing Zhao Wen's voice, he hurriedly leaned into Zhao Wen's ear and persuaded him in a low voice, "Your Majesty, these things are eaten by those who work hard. You are the ninth five Your Majesty, how can you eat this kind of food? If it spreads, it will insult His Majesty. Moreover, if Master Liu finds out, he will definitely preach. Besides, His Majesty has ordered so many things, and he can't eat them."

Zhao Wen didn't take it seriously, "What the hell, I want to eat today. And why can't I finish all the things I ordered? Don't you have them?

Don't stand still, sit down together.My treat today! "

Zhao Wen pointed to the table in front of him and looked at Chen Donglai.

Chen Donglai was terrified, and said again and again: "Don't dare, dare not, I am a lowly person, how dare I eat at the same table with Your Majesty?"

"In that case, you and these personal guards should sit at the table next to me." Zhao Wen pointed to a table next to him.

Chen Donglai thanked him, and then sat down at the table next to Zhao Wen with his guards.

It's just that because of the large number of people, two tables were occupied in a row.

After these personal guards sat down, their eyes never left Zhao Wen.

They stare at each other for a long time whenever someone comes over for dinner.

The sky gradually darkened, and the street lights came on.

In addition to the street lights, there are several electric lights hanging around the stall.
