My harem can't be this messy

Touching Dugu Xiaoluo at this time, Li Zhi could still feel her body was hot, and the most beautiful rouge seemed to be applied on her cheeks.

Li Zhi patted his buttocks and looked at Xiaoluo.

"You look like this, it seems that you can't change it."

When we left the Temple of Manna, the dusk had already risen, and it was hot just now. Li Zhi was only wearing a thin shirt, and outside it was a casual clothes that he usually wears.

In the Lizheng Palace, the sound of mahjong has been going on almost every day for the past few days. The few people who live here are too lazy to go out in the winter, so they are lazy in the palace, doing nothing, but they can only play cards for entertainment.

When Li Zhi went in, he saw a lot of broken silver and small pearls on the mother's table.

Li Zhi hugged his mother's back neck from behind, and lay on his mother's back shoulder.

"Come down soon, the queen mother is winning, you have made such trouble, what should I do if I lose?"

As Lin Wanyue said, she turned her hand back and patted the dragon's hip.

"Queen, aunt and aunt, you don't go out for a walk to relax, you stay here every day."

Qiu Ju, who was setting up a table for the three of them, shook her hands, and a new Ertong was exposed in front of them.

"What's there to see outside? The palace is almost covered with snow. By the way, Zhi'er, has there been any disaster reports from various places this year with such a heavy snowfall?"

"I asked the Household Transfer Department. Longxi Road, Henan Road, especially the northern part of Henan Road, suffered from severe snowstorms. Many villagers' houses were crushed and collapsed. I have ordered the Household Department to send money and food to help."

"Aren't you afraid they will be greedy?"

"Yinzi is now taking the road of Yinzhuang. Where and how much is used? Cui Yan has an account to check. Greed will definitely be greedy, but no one dares to be greedy. No fish when the water is clear. As long as they're not excessive."

"Your Majesty, you can see it!"

Princess Chao said something, and then the cards in front of her were knocked down and exploded.

"What can I do if I can't see it? With just one pair of eyes, I can't stare at everything. Corruption exists in all dynasties and generations. I can't control it at all. It depends on how much greed there is."

"It's a good idea to send all the money to Yinzhuang. At least Miss Cui can be completely trusted."

Zheng Guanyin was holding the cards with both hands, but she couldn't help but boast about the route that the disaster relief bank took at this time.

If you go to Yinzhuang, those who dare to touch this batch of silver will have to think carefully.

In this way, greed can basically be eradicated, that is, in the process of exchanging money for materials, it is inevitable that some officials will profit from it, but this can be roughly calculated, and it is easy to see that the profit is too much and too ruthless.

At this time, Yinzhuang also has a hidden function, constantly monitoring the prices of materials in various places, and reporting the behavior of individual material prices to skyrocket or plummet in a timely manner.

Chapter 762 Silver Note

Last year, when the southern flood hit, local rich merchants ganged up to hoard and drive up the price of rice. As soon as the price rose, the surrounding state highways sent a large amount of grain to the disaster area. As a result, the price of rice plummeted, and those hoarding rice merchants were severely compensated. a handful.

This is another function of Yinzhuang. In the incident last year, as Yinzhuang, not only was it able to obtain the market price fluctuations at the first time, but also purchased a large amount of rice from surrounding areas through the silver deposits in Yinzhuang, and shipped them to the disaster area. , completely suppressing food prices.

At this time, Yinzhuang seems to have controlled the main commercial bank flow in Datang, and Cui Yan has already started planning to promote silver bills, and there will be less and less silver circulating in the market in the future.

Silver and gold are basically piled up in the treasury, and only silver notes and gold notes equal to their value are circulated in the market.

This is a bit like the currency of later generations. Precious metals do not participate in direct circulation, but are only used as equivalent mortgages. At that time, Datang will not only obtain a large amount of precious metals through this method, but also use this method to transfer silver from other regions. And gold absorbed into Datang's treasury.

By this year, the branches of Yinzhuang have basically spread all over the county-level administrative agencies of Datang, and even penetrated into countries such as Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje.

The collection of silver and gold can be obtained slowly. At that time, the whole world will use the silver bills issued by Datang, and all the gold and silver in the world will be lying in the treasury of Chang'an. Zhuang last thing to do.

"Auntie, what happened to the printing of books by the Zheng family and the Lu family recently?"

"Well, it just so happens that my fourth son Xueqian sent someone to Chang'an, you can call him to the palace to ask."

"I don't need to ask to know that the business is good. I was in the Hongwen Museum yesterday, and most of the new batch of books there came from the Zheng family's printing workshop."

"This year, there are many more scholars in the Kebao examination than in previous years. This is all thanks to the Zheng and Lu families."

"By the way, Zhi'er, Auntie heard that Shiying is also pregnant."

"Uh, oh, yes yes."

Do you want people to have a good time? Why are they all so easy to conceive?

Didn't he pay her public rations a few times?This probability is a bit too high!

Alas, Li Zhi was depressed, sitting beside the queen mother, watching the card table rattled for a while, Li Zhi felt that his mind was heavy, so he left the Lizheng Hall.

The baby in Wu Meiniang's belly was not yet born, and Zheng Shiying was pregnant again. At this time, Li Zhi probably realized why there are so many children in power in this era.

Alas, there are so many concubines, that's how they can be made. This is the result of Li Zhi's attention and attention. If he really let go of this, he may have a house full of children by now. After more than ten years, his children can all form Two teams, playing polo.

Li Zhi had something on his mind, so he heard the bell from the palace. It was so late, and there was still a bell.Ringing the bell at this time is always inappropriate!

Morning bells and evening drums, could it be that someone hit it by mistake?

Li Zhi hurried to the place where the bell sounded, and it was getting closer at this time, and he heard two more bells, maybe it was approaching, Li Zhi had already heard that this was definitely not the sound of a bell striking, the sound of a wooden stake striking a bell was Loud and atmospheric, but these few bells were obviously much quieter and duller.

It feels, it feels like someone is using a big clock to practice the iron mountain.

Li Zhi walked into Foguang Temple and walked towards the big bell in the temple. As soon as he got closer, he saw a white shadow dancing beside the big bell. When the big bell came, it made a dull sound.

Li Zhi hurried over, the white shadow stopped jumping all of a sudden, and then jumped directly into Li Zhi's arms.

"Xue Ke, why are you so naughty? Even after nightfall, you are still playing here. I thought something was wrong!"

"Your Majesty, Xue Ke can speak now."

Li Zhi hesitated for a moment, then suddenly picked up the snow fox, and kissed the fox fiercely, regardless of the hair on the fox's face.

Then, with the snow fox in his arms, he walked out of Foguang Temple. This direction was facing the place where Li Wan and Luluo lived.

When Li Zhi got there, he saw Luluo standing in the courtyard, worrying about the snow in the courtyard.

In Li Zhi's arms, Xue Ke jumped down and rushed towards Lu Luo.

"Little green, little green, I can talk, I can talk."

Lu Luo also didn't react immediately, seeing Xue Ke rushing into her arms, she hugged Xue Ke suddenly.

"Don't call me Xiaolu, I'm your aunt's younger sister, you should call me little aunt."

"I'll call you Little Green, Little Green, Little Green, Little Green."

"Hahaha, dear niece Xue Ke, you can finally talk, sister, sister, come out quickly."

"Auntie, Auntie!"

The door there opened with a creak, and Xue Ke jumped excitedly from Luluo's arms to Li Wan's arms.

"Well, my aunt heard it, and my aunt is very happy."

"Xue Ke is also very happy, hahahaha..."

Li Zhi listened to the fox's human voice, and he still felt it was weird at this time. Li Wan is also a vixen, but she won't turn into a fox to talk to him.

There, Li Wan hugged Xue Ke around the courtyard for a few times before carrying her into the house. At this time, Lu Luo walked away from Li Zhi's side.

"Your Majesty, you also go in and have a seat."

"No, let Xue Ke and her aunt have a good time, I will send Xue Ke here, so I won't bother you."

Li Zhi left the yard and took a look. The happiest thing tonight was that the vixen he raised could talk.There are three little ones, if they can talk, will Foguang Temple be very lively in the future?

A certain little nun went out at night for convenience, and suddenly heard someone talking, and then looked around, but there was no one, would she be pleasantly surprised, yes, she would wow in surprise, and then she didn't even notice that her pants were wet.

These foxes, alas, have been with me for a long time.

Li Zhi returned to Ganlu Hall, the next few days, the wind and snow were extremely heavy, Li Zhi curled up in the warm blanket, with a plump body beside him, much more comfortable than a warm baby.

These few days should be the coldest time of the year. When the snow clears, the palace will start to be busy, and the ice cellar will begin to store ice.

The original ice slag was thoroughly cleaned, and then the ice cellar was divided into several areas to store ice for different purposes.

These ices are also obtained from different places. The cleanest ice can be directly made into smoothies in the coming year, accompanied by mung bean paste and fruit juice, and can be eaten as ice cream.

Those that are not too clean can be used for iced plum soup, or even extravagant enough to be used to chill a glass of water.

There are also some dirtier ones, which can be piled up in the room to cool down. The ice cellar in the palace has a huge storage space, and the insulation technology used has been continuously improved by countless people in China through thousands of years of accumulation.

Li Zhi saw a large group of guards and eunuchs fetching ice from the lake, pulling ice cubes by horses. From time to time, fish jumped out of the water and were kicked into the lake again.

I will continue to fetch ice for the past few days. Taking advantage of the fine weather, who knows if there will be more snowstorms in the future.

Chapter 763 Gold and Silver Treasury

The ice cellar was filled with layers of solid ice. From a distance, it looked like a world made of crystals. Li Zhi went to check it out, and he could only sigh at the wealth and confidence of the royal family.

This ice cellar is probably no less than the size of a stadium in later generations, and there are not two such ice cellars, they are connected underground through tunnels, like an underground labyrinth.

Waiting for the day when these ice cellars don't need to store ice, they should be repaired, and it is really good to store gold and silver.

The imperial palace was originally the place with the strictest defenses. There was no problem with the strength and depth of these ice cellars when they were built, and there was no operational difficulty at all in building an underground silver vault.

The key point is that if this is done, the ice bricks here will be replaced by gold bricks and silver bricks in the future, and I will sleep in the palace in the future, thinking that there will be gold and silver like mountains and seas under my body, how cool it will be.

Li Zhi just saw the size of the ice cellar and thought about it.

When all the ice is stored, the cellar will be sealed, and the ice will not be used until next summer.

Seeing that the Spring Festival is coming again, this year there is a princess in the palace, and there is another princess in the bamboo garden. Before the Spring Festival, Li Zhi specially asked Lin Shixuan and her daughter to be invited into the palace from the bamboo garden, and let them live in the palace for the past few days .

The two daughters slept together, a pair of finely carved jade-like dolls, making people feel extremely comfortable physically and mentally.

In the place where the little princess lives, the two little princes have come here every day for the past few days, teasing their sister has become their favorite thing to do.

Zhong'er is really strong, and he is not very old. He can hug his younger sister, but he wants people to watch him at any time, for fear of falling the little princess.

Li Zhi's favorite thing to do in the past few days is to hold his two daughters with his left hand and his right hand. When they grow up, they will definitely be the jewel of Datang.

When the Spring Festival came, the two little princes couldn't wait to kowtow to the grandma. Sometimes Li Zhi looked at Lin Wanyue and sighed in his heart, this grandma was too young.

Lin Wanyue naturally admired something, a red purse, symbolizing celebration.

Naturally, there will be no broken silver or other belongings in it. The royal family does not lack this. What the little prince got was candied fruit and some candies.

Children like sweets, but they don't get many of them on weekdays. After all, eating too much of this food will damage their teeth, but they can be eaten as much as they are given by the Empress Dowager and concubines during the Spring Festival.

The only bad thing is that after eating, my mother will press there to brush my teeth.

Muxiu in the capital city, Chang'an has gained some popularity in the past few days, and the sky has cleared up for a few days, as if he knew that these people were trapped at home for too long last winter.

Taking advantage of these few days, Li Zhi took the queen and several concubines to visit the homes of several elders in Chang'an.

The Li family has a great business, and there are more than a dozen of the clansmen in Chang'an City, just counting the uncles left by Gaozu, which is enough for Li Zhi to be busy.

After visiting these main clansmen, Li Zhi wanted to visit the family members of several concubines in Chang'an. This year, Li Zhi also had a whim, remembering that future generations would visit relatives and friends during the New Year. The mansion is very busy.

The busiest thing is Changsun Wuji, Taiwei is not easy, the empress dowager's brother, the emperor's uncle, the emperor wants to pay New Year's greetings to his uncle, and the servants of the eldest grandson's family are almost busy.

The upper and lower parts of the mansion have to be cleaned, and the stewards have to order people to deal with the places that need a little attention several times.

Li Zhi held the queen mother's hand, followed by the queen and several concubines, and the old uncle was about to be greeted by Li Zhi, who had already been supported by Li Zhi.

Look at my mother-in-law and uncle, do they look like father-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Over the years, the Empress Dowager's appearance has remained unchanged, and the most obvious reference turned out to be her own brother.

After sitting at the eldest grandson's house for more than half a day, Li Zhicai took his mother's hand and sat in the carriage.

"What's going on this year? I haven't seen you so actively visiting the homes of courtiers and dignitaries in previous years."

"Free!"

Li Zhi leaned against the wall of the carriage, and gave a true answer, he was really idle, after being an emperor for a long time, he would feel that he sometimes panicked when he was idle.

In fact, there were a lot of things going on in the Tang Dynasty at this time. The war outside was being fought in several directions. The affairs of Goguryeo and Dongying were also being dealt with, but these seemed to have nothing to do with Li Zhi.

Perhaps the only thing Li Zhi needs to do is to communicate with Chris and know the latest developments in South Asia.

What you can do on weekdays is to accompany your concubines, watch your children, and enjoy life leisurely in the palace without panicking.

"Are you going to do this again during the Spring Festival?"

"I'll talk about it later, by the way, Aunt Lin, have you ever thought about going out to play in the palace?"

"Are you going to Jiangnan?"

"The queen mother knows."

"I knew it earlier. When Concubine Shu went back to the palace, she asked her mother about it."
