Chapter 77
Zhou Yanru seemed to understand but didn't dare to ask more questions, and then said, "Your Majesty needs me to do whatever I need me."
"I want you to open a store in Beijing to handle the Daming Express, and publish newspapers every day. The newspapers mainly introduce policies that the court has implemented, such as never adding additional submissions and abolishing the capitol tax."
After a pause, Chongzhen emphasized: "I want to let the people see these every day."
"Your Majesty wants the people to know what the court is doing, but it requires the people to be illiterate. This is a relatively troublesome thing. I have a way to ask someone to explain to the people in the store of the Daming Express."
"You can do the specific things, just think about it. I only require that the above are all good side of the court, and that the people will support the court if they have hope for it."
"Don't worry, your Majesty, I know what to do."
"A few printed items are arranged at the back of the store to add more every day."
"yes!"
"Fang Zhenghua, you must cooperate with Master Zhou in this matter."
"yes!"
"Zhou Yanru, in seven days, I will see the Ming Dynasty Express appear in Beijing."
"Abide by the order!"
After explaining this matter with Zhou Yanru, it was almost evening. Chongzhen went to Chengqian Palace to find Tian Xiuying.
Tian Xiuying and a group of eunuchs and palace maids squatted at the palace gate, holding a shovel in their hands, were studying the latest planted flowers, and were still instructing the eunuchs to place outdoor furniture in the place she arranged.
It was very lively, and Tian Xiuying herself was very busy.
It is already late March, and Beijing is getting warmer day by day, and the trees have sprouted and there is a lot of vitality.
"I need to add more soil!" Tian Xiuying was instructing a little eunuch.
"Okay, my sissy, I will come here right away."
When Chongzhen walked over, the eunuch was about to report it, but was stopped by Chongzhen.
He walked over gently and stood there looking at Tian Xiuying who was very busy. Looking at her back, he felt a little at ease.
He walked over gently again, and when everyone saw him, they quickly knelt down.
Tian Xiuying felt something was wrong, so she quickly turned around and saw Chongzhen looking over with his hands behind his back, looking like a peeping thief.
"Husband, no one informed you when you came."
"Just come here, I'm just curious about what you're doing."
As soon as he got closer, Chongzhen smelled the unique body fragrance of Tian Xiuying, which smelled very nicely, which made people shocked.
"I planted a peach tree here a month ago. I didn't expect it to bloom now. I felt that it still lacks some soil, so I added some to it today."
Tian Xiuying's life is really good. She is already an imperial concubine, but she still likes to do things by herself. Most people probably leave it to the people below.
She is very leisurely, which is a good thing.
"Xiuying, go and wash your hands quickly. I have made something for you."
Tian Xiuying hurriedly went in to wash her hands, happy and curious.
Soon, the eunuch below brought two bowls of noodles.
Tian Xiuying looked at this side and said curiously: "Husband, why is the soup on this side red?"
"This is pepper, this is pepper, this is beef, this is beef, this is beef, this is bean paste, this is all made by me."
When Tian Xiuying heard this, she was even more shocked: "Do you cook by yourself?"
"Yes, this is called spicy beef noodle. Xiuying, please give it a try and see how I'm doing?"
Tian Xiuying picked up the chopsticks and took a bite. After taking a bite, she felt so spicy that it seemed like a ball of fire entered her body.
However, she couldn't help but scream: "Husband, this noodles are delicious!"
Pepper must have been available in the Ming Dynasty, but it was very expensive and no one could cook spicy beef.
Zhang Chen liked to cook at home in his previous life and would try to cook various delicacies for himself to eat.
As long as there are ingredients, it is definitely not a big problem to make.
"Come on, try the wine I made."
Is there any wine in the Ming Dynasty?
It may have existed in the Tang Dynasty.
However, Chongzhen used his own method to brew some of them. He often liked to do these things in his previous life. He even drank a lot and went to professionals to ask for advice and study.
He also learned to brew liquor, a high concentration of distilled liquor.
Tian Xiuying also drank. She blinked her big eyes and looked at the wine. The wine was filled with fragrance. She couldn't help but pick it up and drink it. She nodded quickly: "Husband, it's so delicious!"
Tian Xiuying is the kind of girl who can make the whole world brighter when she smiles. Her smile can melt Chongzhen's heart.
"We have a few drinks tonight."
The two of them started drinking, and they had one glass after another. After drinking, Tian Xiuying's face was flushed and her big eyes were watery.
"Husband, you come here with the wine. Do you want to spend the night here again?"
"Oh, I can't hide anything from my Xiuying."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Empress Yi'an is here."
Chongzhen was ready to be a hooligan to Tian Xiuying, but Zhang Yan suddenly came.
By the way, what is Zhang Yan doing here?
But when Zhang Yan saw Zhang Yan walk in, Zhang Yan saw that the emperor was actually here, she hurriedly said, "See Your Majesty."
"No gift."
"I don't know that your Majesty is here, I'm disturbing your Majesty."
"It's okay, what's wrong, is Emperor Yi'an going to do here later?"
"I made an appointment with Sooyoung yesterday and came to get perfume today."
"Perfume?" Question marks appeared on Chongzhen's head.
Tian Xiuying hurriedly said, "Didn't your husband ask Wang Chengen to give us a box last time? We all thought it was very interesting and very useful. After using it, we started to study it ourselves. Husband, don't be angry."
"Oh, small things, just tell me directly if you are interested in perfume. I have a recipe here."
It is understandable that girls are interested in this thing, and it is not a commercial secret. It is not difficult for professionals to develop this thing after buying a bottle.
"No, no, no, no, no, no," Seeing that Chongzhen was not angry, Tian Xiuying was very happy, "I have already made one."
She stood up and walked towards the makeup cabinet. Maybe she was a little tilted and almost fell to the ground after drinking some wine. Fortunately, Chongzhen was quick to help her hold her.
"Sooyoung, be careful, don't worry."
Zhang Yan on the side only felt that she had eaten a handful of dog food.
Tian Xiuying took out the perfume she developed, which was still fragrant with peach blossoms, and the small bottle was very elegant.
She handed Zhang Yan both hands: "Empress Yi'an, this is a prescription."
When Zhang Yan took it, she couldn't help but be amazed that Tian Xiuying was indeed incredible in this area.
She smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll take it back and take a look for it yourself."
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
"Um."
After Zhang Yan left, Chongzhen picked up Tian Xiuying and said, "Xiuying, it's time to go to bed to talk about life."
A good night.
