My harem can't be this messy

"It has nothing to do with you."

"But husband, don't worry, he won't dare again in the future."

Li Zhi nodded and didn't say anything more.Xiao Yiyang looked at his parents, suddenly pouted his mouth, and kissed Li Zhi, Li Zhi immediately disappeared all his anger, and Li Zhi was so happy when he was kissed by the little padded jacket.

When she went to bed at night, she put the little padded jacket beside her. Concubine Shu was very happy to see that His Majesty liked her daughter so much.

In fact, Concubine Shu was quite unhappy when she gave birth to a daughter, but as time went by, she found that His Majesty liked the little princess more than the two little princes, and not only His Majesty, but also the Queen Mother liked the little princess. Plus, this made Concubine Shu feel uneasy at the beginning, and by now it was gone.

At this time, the daughter was already sound asleep, Concubine Shu stretched out her arms, gently caressing Li Zhi's heart.

"Husband, look at the moonlight in the south of the Yangtze River outside, it's just right, you can have another one for your husband."

Li Zhi glanced at his wife, then at his sleeping little daughter, and pinched the tip of Concubine Shu's nose with his fingers.

"I'm not afraid of waking up Yiyang."

"Let's change places, how about the bamboo forest outside?"

After visiting the West Lake in the past few days, and looking for waterways to swim the streets and alleys of Suzhou and Hangzhou a few times, the group of people took a big boat and headed further west.

Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the place where the fireworks were most prosperous. She was afraid that the Xiao family would cause trouble again, and if His Majesty saw it, she would not be able to help the family.

In fact, Concubine Shu didn't have to worry at all, her younger brother was lying on the bed half dead at this time, wrapped in wound bandages all over his body, wailing nonstop all day long.

Every movement of the body hurts and the whole body is covered in cold sweat. At this time, unless someone from the Xiao family is crazy, he dares to continue to cause trouble. This example is in front. If someone makes trouble again, he will not be beaten half to death, but directly beaten to death.

At this time, Li Zhi had already arrived in Shangyuan County, which may not be very famous at this time, but historically, this place has always been the political, economic and cultural center of the south.

Before it was changed to Shangyuan County, it was called Jiankang, and later, there was a more famous name, Jinling.

The era of Li Zhilai was wrong. Shangyuan was not prosperous, but more lonely and bankrupt.

During the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Nanchen was shattered, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ordered the destruction of the inner and outer city walls of Jiankang. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties has since fallen silent in history. In the Tang Dynasty, it has not been restored and developed.

Both the Sui and Tang dynasties deliberately neglected this place. After all, it was once the capital of Nanchen, and it was the belief in the hearts of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Zhi took a casual look here, then sighed, and let people continue to set off, instead of staying here any longer.

Chapter 766 Xun Sound

At this time, there is no Qinhuai River for ten miles, no fireworks across the river, and no dancing sleeves. There is only silence and silence.

In the old days, Wang Xietang flew into the homes of ordinary people.

At this time, Shangyuan is too ordinary and old-fashioned, let alone compared with Suzhou and Hangzhou, even compared with other places, it is incomparable.

Li Zhi is determined to recover here, but this is certainly not something that can be done overnight.

And as the emperor, he also has his own concerns.

After leaving Shangyuan, Li Zhi's wandering mind is actually not big, and Concubine Shu can naturally see it.

Accompanying His Majesty to swim the Yangtze River again, in places like Yunmeng, Concubine Shu has accompanied His Majesty to go down the Yangtze River, and then prepare to go north from Yangzhou.

This night, thousands of miles away, the stars shine brightly in the sky, the sea water pats on the shore, and the turbulent waves break on the edge of the cliff.

Yujina was sitting on the edge of the cliff, with a jug of wine and a Xun beside her. It was a miraculous oriental musical instrument that she learned when she was in Chang'an.

Yujina took the initiative to contact Li Zhi, and then asked Li Zhi to look at the stars and sea in front of her through her vision.

"What's the matter, Yudina, you still have the heart to sit here so late?"

"Your Majesty, Yujina, the Turkic soldier, has been found. I have already killed all of them. Suddenly, I don't know why, but I feel a lot lighter."

"It's normal. You used to have too many things in your heart, so it was heavy."

"Yujina blow the Xun for Your Majesty for a while!"

"Okay, we all go to bed after blowing."

Yudina took a sip of the wine, picked up the very inconspicuous musical instrument, and after a while, the sound of the xun sounded, mixing with the sound of the waves and the wind.

Li Zhi felt the slight change in Yujina's heart, looked at the sea of ​​stars in front of him, then looked at the sleeping little princess beside him, and gently stroked her soft hair with his hands.

"When everything is done, should I take a rest?"

Li Zhi lay down, and no longer looked at the sea through Yujina's eyes, but the sound of the xun was still ringing in his ears, and the sound of the xun was getting farther and farther away, Li Zhi didn't know when he fell asleep.

When he returned to Chang'an again, Li Zhi got a good news and a bad news. The good news was that Wu Meiniang was born, and just like in the original history, he was a son. All were born to maids of honor.

If it was before, this son would naturally be highly valued, but now, it is different, because Li Zhi doesn't attach much importance to the origin of his children's biological mother.

Naturally, Li Zhi didn't bother to think about the name, so he directly named him Li Hong, using the original name in history.

But the bad news is that Concubine Shu got her wish and became pregnant with her second child. Li Zhi was also helpless, and took Concubine Shu and two maids along the way. It would not be easy for her not to conceive.

After all, there is still a queen in the palace for Li Zhi to take care of, but outside the palace, no one can help Li Zhi give birth to a young child.

These children really came too fast, basically one after another. Li Zhi felt that if this continued, he would soon break through the limit he had set for himself.

We have to find a way. At this time, it is impossible for the people to prevent women from getting pregnant.There are many folk remedies in the place of fireworks, but they are all harmful to the body.

I asked Lin Shixuan, but she didn't have a good idea, and there were a few methods left by the previous court, such as the belly stickers used by Zhao Feiyan in the Han Dynasty.

However, this method also hurts the body, and it may not be effective.As for some physical methods, Li Zhi is very resistant, extremely resistant.

In this harem, the king and queen are increasingly favored, to what extent they are favored, as long as your majesty is lucky enough to meet someone, he will definitely pull his queen along, and it is impossible not to pull him.

Fortunately, Queen Wang has already adapted to this kind of life. It is already commonplace for her to accompany her sisters and even the maids to serve His Majesty.

Until the end of the year, no one in the harem could conceive again, so Li Zhi dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

In the past six months, Chuntao has been reassigned to Li Zhi's side, which is also a treasure!Sometimes when paying for someone, I really can't take the queen, but Chuntao can!This girl is loyal to Li Zhi, as long as Li Zhi doesn't let her talk nonsense, she absolutely dare not talk nonsense.

But since this girl came to Li Zhi's side, she has indeed seen a lot of dirty things in this palace, and she has basically seen all the shameful things of His Majesty.

Li Zhi was afraid of accidents, but it was impossible for some people to bring the queen, so they could only bring Chuntao, and Chuntao didn't see anything.

In the spring of the second year, the little wild cats in the palace meowed very loudly. Chuntao took Xia He's hand and talked there, and suddenly said for no reason that the harem was too messy.

Xia He didn't know what was going on, but when she asked her, the girl didn't dare to say anything.

Just thinking about the places His Majesty took her to, why did she feel her heart beating so hard, especially the Princess Courtyard and the Lizheng Palace, her heart almost jumped into her throat just thinking about it.

But after thinking about it, I felt excited again. Today I told Xia He that the palace is really chaotic, but I also understood that this was the only thing she dared to say.

To say more, without His Majesty speaking, she had to find a piece of white silk, and then went to find a beam.

Li Zhi was standing in the Lizheng Hall at this time, with the huge map in front of him.

"The Turks basically took down all the places in Europa, and the front in the south is also advancing steadily. If there is no accident, Chris will be back this year."

"Mother, there are my troops here in the peninsula and in the island country. Tell me, do I basically have nothing to do now?"

"Zhi'er, have you ordered the southern Fujian side to speed up the construction of sea-going ships?"

"The mother's news is very fast. It is true that the construction is being stepped up, but it is only used to attack the small countries in Nanyang. These ships can only use the island chain to sail in the coastal waters, and the ocean is still reluctant."

"If you take Nanyang, you can go directly to Australia through Nanyang's island chain. There are only a small number of indigenous people here, and they have no resistance."

"It's still a ship. It seems that the focus will be on shipping and ships in the future. Even if all the land on this planet is taken down in the future, the navigation industry will also be the foundation of the connection between various places."

At this time, Datang was slowly entering a stage of transformation, a large amount of manpower and material resources were invested in navigation, and shipbuilding became the top priority.

In the next ten years, the land that Datang could take has basically been taken, and the island country that is only a short strait away is completely occupied by Datang.But the continent separated by the vast sea still couldn't be included in Datang's sphere of influence.

Along the coast of southern Fujian, merchant ships gather here. Fleets of merchant ships are full of goods and go to Nanyang or even further south to South Asia, the east coast of Africa, many rare treasures are unloaded from the returning merchant ships, and some of them have dark skin. Merchants came here, ready to buy these people and bring them to Chang'an.

Chapter 767

Silla maids and Kunlun slaves have gradually become popular in Chang'an in the past few years. Any wealthy family must be willing to spend a lot of silver to buy these two things for themselves.

This has also caused the prices of these people to skyrocket, and there have been merchant ships specializing in these things in recent years.

The so-called slave trade is roughly the same, but the methods used by these merchants in Datang are relatively peaceful. Most of these slaves are purchased from tribes, and because of the high price, it is impossible to allow them to die on the way.

Busy on the pier, piles of Kunlun slaves are being selected by big businessmen from Chang'an. They are most likely to be favored by these businessmen because they are strong and have good teeth.

When these people are brought to Chang'an, they don't have to worry about sales at all.

At home, it can be used as a tool for obscenity, and if you take it out, it is face. For those wealthy families in Chang'an, what is best, face.

I heard that His Majesty has several Silla maidservants, and the King of Silla specially sent them here. As for the Kunlun slaves, His Majesty has an army specially composed of Kunlun slaves, called the God Slaves Army.

The royal family loves it, and the folks love it even more. This may be the celebrity effect.

At this time, Chang'an was extremely prosperous, and it was very easy to see people from various places and races in the city.

Many of these people can speak Chinese fluently, if not for their strange appearance, they could almost be misunderstood as Han Chinese.However, they can be collectively referred to as Tang people at this time. After all, there are Tang troops stationed in their country at this time, and they need to pay enough tribute and taxes for the Tang Dynasty every year.

The officials of the Tang Dynasty ruled Qingming, and paid light taxes to these places. In fact, many places are still very grateful to the Tang Dynasty, especially the Europa region.The Europeans, who are frightened by the tyranny of the Turkic people, understand that as long as the Tang army is stationed, the Turkic people will never dare to mess around.

In fact, many things have become popular in Chang'an in the past few years. At the beginning, the long-legged white maidservants were especially popular. The longer the legs, the more popular they are, and they are often worth ten thousand gold.

It was only later that His Majesty banned private sales, and this trend stopped abruptly.

There is no way, both Chris and Yudina are very disgusted that their compatriots are being sold as goods.

Why Silla maidservants can get up? First of all, Silla has a very high self-government system. Silla girls are actually extremely keen to be trafficked to Chang'an. The other side is willing first, and His Majesty naturally does not object.

The same is generally true of Kunlun slaves. African tribal wars are frequent. In fact, most of these Kunlun slaves are prisoners of war. They stay in Africa to meet their fate. As a Kunlun slave, the master is also reluctant to abuse him.

In the Hongwen Museum of the Imperial Palace, Li Zhi walked through the corridor outside, listening to the sound of reading aloud inside.

Li Zhi looked through the window and saw a group of boys and girls inside, well dressed, reading with books.

Suddenly a girl saw her father outside the window and made a grimace.

"Taiping, what are you doing?"

"Ah, nothing, Taiping didn't do anything!"

Li Zhi felt helpless looking at his daughter, the little girl was very active since she was born, but Li Zhi felt very distressed.

Wu Meiniang also likes this little girl very much, she was sent to the Hongwen Museum when she was three years old, and she has been in the library for two years by now.

"If you don't study hard, your mother and concubine will come to Hongwen Hall to pick you up."

All the princesses and princes below were afraid to speak, only the voice of Shangguanyi lecturing could be heard among them.

After class was over, the little girl and a few sisters ran out. Li Zhi only heard the voice of his father, and the princesses all ran over. Drool all over.

But Li Zhi likes it, which of these daughters is not a sweetheart.

"Father, will you have dinner with us today?"

Several princesses pulled Li Zhi, as a father, his daughter wanted to eat together, so there was no reason why he would not allow it.

"Okay, I'll have dinner with you today too."

In the imperial palace, there is a special place for eating at this time. Originally, each palace had meals in each palace, but now it is more concentrated.

Li Zhi didn't restrict everyone to come here to eat, but basically everyone who could come here came.Why, the imperial snacks in this meal hall are very delicious, and there are so many people coming here.

When Li Zhi went, there were already quite a lot of people. When they saw Li Zhi, they all stood up to greet Li Zhi. And the princess can come too.

"Queen, today came earlier than me."

"Grandma Huang, Grandma Huang!"

The little girls greeted them obediently, and the Empress Dowager Changsun hurriedly asked them to sit down.

"Your Majesty, there are new dishes today. I heard that they are sold very well in Xiaozhulou."

"Oh, no wonder everyone came so early today."

For a while, Shangshi Dingyu had come in from outside, the first new product was naturally sent to His Majesty, and only this table needed Shangshi Dingyu to deliver it in person.

Putting down the dish, Ding Yu slowly opened it, and inside was a dish in the style of a soup pot. Li Zhi opened his mouth slightly when he saw it. It was not the dish that attracted Li Zhi, but the raw materials. Li Zhi saw potatoes and corn.

"Hey, this is the first time I've seen these ingredients."

Li Zhi knew it naturally, but after coming to Datang, this was indeed the first time he saw it, and he knew that only America had this thing at this time.

In the past few years, Datang's merchant ships have been working hard to find new shipping routes. Could it be that they have already started doing business with Native Americans?

"Your Majesty, I heard from the people in Xiaozhulou that these ingredients are all from the New World, and they are expensive. Some areas along the coast have already begun to grow them."

"Haha, the merchants have made great contributions this time."

Li Zhi smiled, picked up a piece of potato, and took a small bite at this time, the taste was indeed right.

With potatoes and corn, Datang has been widely planted in the past few years, and the population has skyrocketed again, because these are high-yield crops. Under the premise that agricultural technology has not achieved a substantial leap forward, high-yield crops are the fundamental prerequisite for population growth. .
