Chapter 508 Zheng Nandan
Yong Zhi smiled: "Since you have done a righteous deed, you deserve to be named a virtuous person. Even the Duke of Yan will appreciate you. You don't need to be afraid, just go on boldly."
< br>Zheng Nandan didn't dare to speak, he just bent his body lower.
Seeing this, Yongzhi shook his head and said with a smile: "The Duke of Yan is waiting for you, go quickly."
After saying that, he left with Xiang Wei.
After they walked away, Zheng Nandan stood up straight and turned to look at Yong Zhi's back.
Prince Yonghou, why did you take the initiative to say these words to him?
Are you trying to win over him?
When Prince Ai fled south, Yonghou was implicated and was killed. Soon, the Yonghou Crown Prince will become the new Yonghou Lord.
Zheng Nandan withdrew his gaze, put away his thoughts, followed the servants, and walked slowly towards the courtyard of Duke Yan... He had already been appreciated by Duke Yan, and had touched the center of power of the dynasty. He needs to continue working hard. Twenty years later, he can become Yongzhi, and he does not need to become Yongzhi's vassal.
"My lord, Dong Zheng's family is here." The old steward of the Yan family informed.
Duke Yan: "Brother Zheng, please come in."
"Mr. Yan, how are you?" Zheng Nandan asked as soon as he came in. He saw that Duke Yan's face was only pale, but he was very energetic. After he recovered, he felt relieved and congratulated instead: "Congratulations, Mr. Guo." Another thing has been accomplished."
Yan Guogong smiled: "What a coincidence, I also have a happy event to congratulate Mr. Zheng's family."
Zheng Nandan was stunned, and quickly realized it and said happily: "But His Majesty accepted the secret recipe?!"
Once the secret recipe was in the hands of Deputy General Liang, it was no longer a secret, so Brother Xue told him.
The Duke of Yan nodded: "Exactly, the Zheng Dong family can rest assured."
Zheng Nandan was overjoyed, stood up and made a bow in the direction of the imperial city: "Your Majesty is kind, the Huang family, the Xue family The Qin family thanks Your Majesty for your kindness."
He sat down again and said relaxedly: "The Duke of the country doesn't know. I've been so worried lately, I'm afraid that that kid Long Ge'er will make trouble for me... No, I'll make trouble for myself."
Ha, Yan Zhou said with a smile: "I often hear you talk about Huang Yanglong. Son, according to his style of doing things, it is really easy to get yourself into trouble. But he passed this test.”
Zheng Nandan sighed: "This test has been passed. It won't be long before he can cause another difficulty for you... Now I just hope that he will return to Lingnan Prefecture quickly, get married and have children. As long as I give birth to my eldest son, I can Just return the Huang Family Trading Company to him. I can give an explanation to Brother Huang.”
“Young people are always trouble-making. It will be better in two years.” Yan Zhou smiled, because of Zheng Nandan’s experience and his ability to overcome desperate situations. With the ability to stand up, Yan Zhou treated him very approachably.
After talking about some things, Yan Zhou was in good spirits, so he asked Zheng Nandan to continue telling him about the sea.
Zheng Nandan talked for less than half an hour, but Yan Zhou still had more to say: "It's a pity that we only went to the offshore sea."
If we can go to the far sea and open up maritime trade, we will definitely make the Wei treasury Fill.
As long as the treasury has money, the court does not need to impose heavy taxes...Ten taxes of 20% are still too high, too high, so high that they have to scrape the bones to extract the flesh.
At least thirty taxes are required to give the people of the world a chance to recuperate.
In addition, there are various miscellaneous taxes, such as fines for not getting married...
Yes, fines for not getting married!
Yan Zhou stood up suddenly, startling Zheng Nandan and the people who were waiting on him. Manager Yan quickly asked: "My lord?"
Yan Zhou said: "Prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to meet the saint."
For natural disasters and wars, taxes must be raised, but the fine for being unmarried can be reduced by a few percent, but in short it cannot be much more than during the reign of Emperor Ningkang .
Otherwise, what is the difference between them and those beasts during the Ningkang period? !
"Yes." Manager Yan quickly ordered someone to prepare the car. Zheng Nandan said goodbye in a sensible way: "My lord, please leave first."
Yan Zhou nodded: "Okay, next time I hold a banquet, Dong Zheng's family must come. Don't refuse anymore."
Zheng Nandan smiled: "If the Duke invites me, so and so will definitely come."< br>
......
The Xiehou Mansion also sent people to give gifts and express condolences for Yan Zhou's condition. He happened to meet Yan Zhou and drove into the palace again. He handed over the post, put down the gifts, and returned to the palace to return to his hometown. .
After hearing this, Xie Jing sneered: "It is indeed an act."
If he really fainted, where would he find the energy to enter the palace again?
He snorted again.
Zhang Songyu knew what he was angry about, so she stroked his back and comforted him: "Husband, it is actually a good thing for us to consecrate four noble concubines at the same time."
Xie Jing Frown and look at her.
Zhang Songyu said: "My little sister is a quiet person, how can she be the opponent of Concubine Yongde? Now that the status of the daughter of the Xiang family and the girl of the Hou family of Wenchang have been raised, after they are both concubines, what are the thoughts of these two families? Can you be more alive?”
"As long as their minds are active and they dare to fight, our little sister will not be able to reap the benefits, at least we will be less targeted by Concubine Yongde."
Zhang Songyu added: "Husband, everything else is trivial, we All we have to do now is I have something to do. Go back to Jiangnan Prefecture as soon as possible. If you stay too long, it might be difficult to leave."
She looked sad, raised her hand to caress Xie Jing's face, and said with nostalgia as she glanced across his face. The words that came out were: "Husband, go away Just don’t worry about me and the children, we will stay in Beijing... As long as you are well, we still have hope.” "Arqiong, you are my thank you My married wife has been devoted to me for many years, and I will not leave you alone... Even if I leave Brother Cui alone, I will not let you, Arqiong, stay in Beijing!"
Xie Cui is theirs! The eldest son is left alone, and the weight is enough.
And Emperor Wu Xing, including Zhang Songyu, wanted to keep only Xie Cui... She was soul-pierced, so in calculation, Xie Cui was not her child. Even if she was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to her own child, she would still be the same. Able to let go.
"No, Brother Cui is only ten years old. He has never left my side since he was born. How can I let him stay in Beijing alone." Zhang Songyu choked with sobs, full of reluctance for his son.
After starting the conversation, it was easy to continue. Xie Jing said: "Ahqiong, there is no need to discuss this matter, so I will keep Brother Cui. He is the eldest son of the Xie family, and this is what he should do The responsibility you bear...don't cry, I will leave enough confidants to protect our son's safety."
"Ugh..." Zhang Songyu still said. After crying for a while, when Xie Jing's heartache reached its peak, he stopped crying and said: "We must protect our Cui'er. If he is good or bad, you don't have to persuade him. I will definitely go and accompany him!"
"No matter what nonsense you are talking about, you and Brother Cui will be fine." Xie Jing smiled, with the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, he couldn't help but want to be intimate with her.
Zhang Songyu pushed him away softly.
Xie Jing became more and more enthusiastic and said, "Arqiong, don't you want to give me another son?"
Xie Cui's stay in Beijing is extremely dangerous. The Xie family really needs more Son, lest...
Zhang Songyu’s cheeks turned red: “I I want to give birth to another child for my husband, but he has been staying in my house for three consecutive days. How many days should he go to stay in other aunts' houses... I only have one child, how many can I have? What man wouldn’t love such a generous person?”
Xie Jing pestered her for a long time, but in the end he was unable to stay overnight and was sent out of the yard by Zhang Songyu.
While Xie Jing was walking, he looked back twice, deeply feeling sorry for Zhang Songyu.
But what Zhang Songyu was thinking in her heart was: Huh, giving birth to a child means going through the gate of death. My life, Zhang Songyu, is used to pursue great achievements. It is extremely precious. How can I risk giving birth to a child for you? !
