Chapter 1 Spring is coming This year, Zhu Chongjiu lived a very happy life Huaiyang Company is like a monster that can pull money and bring him huge dividends at the end of the year.
Except for the part that is given to key personnel at all levels as a "year-end bonus", the rest is still an extremely pleasant number.
In the previous year, with the vigorous development of industry and commerce and the implementation of the integrated payment and taxation policy for the gentry and the common people, the tax figures in the areas controlled by the Huai'an Army also continued to rise.
In addition to maintaining the daily expenses of the government and the army, there is also a lot of surplus.
There is no longer a need for him, the general manager, to squat in the master craftsman's courtyard all day long and think about any "new inventions" that can make money.
At the same time as the tax surplus increased, the Grand Steward's expenditures for the war also decreased significantly.
According to the idea of stabilizing a place once it is conquered, the Huaiyang system has no idea of continuing to expand significantly for the time being.
Therefore, only three brigades were deployed on the Qizhou battlefield.
It was obviously impossible to drive away Badulu and Ni Wenjun with this small number of troops, but maintaining the stability of the front was not a problem at all.
Especially after the Military Intelligence Agency and Huaiyang Company jointly took action, the Yuan army's counterattack became less and less powerful.
Some reports even reported that Badulu was now very disappointed with the court.
He is secretly plotting with his subordinates to lead his troops back to Sichuan, behind closed doors, to tear apart the earth and become king.
There was no trouble in the treasury or on the battlefield, and Zhu Chongjiu had more time to celebrate the New Year with his subordinates.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Su Mingzhe and Lu Zeng put on the Wu Guogong robe given by Han Lin'er like a monkey, and accepted the congratulations from all the civil and military men under his command in the conference hall.
At noon, I ordered someone to book a restaurant under the name of Huaiyang Company and take everyone to have a "Zhengdan Banquet".
In the evening, the civil servants went back to their respective homes, but the generals stayed behind in a tacit understanding and continued to chat with their governors over the wine.
They drank until someone accidentally overturned the table and ended up laughing.
On the morning of the second day of the lunar new year, he had to change into coarse clothes and go to the village festival with Lu Shuang'er.
On behalf of more than 8 million people in the Xusui area of Huaiyang, they offered six animals to heaven and earth, burned incense and prayed.
May God bless all places with good weather and good harvests this year.
On the third day of the lunar new year, it was time for Wu Gong and his wife to perform a "people-friendly" show in public.
Under Lu Luzeng's arrangement, the General Manager's Office selected a hundred old men over seventy years old from various places to have lunch with Zhu Chongjiu and Lu Shuang'er.
At the same time, we listened to the reactions of the elders on the achievements and failures of the previous year's governance and the officials from various places under the administration of the General Administration, adopted their useful suggestions, and selected those with the greatest public complaints for adjustment.
The fourth day of the Lunar New Year is set aside specifically to receive local civil and military officials who have returned from Yangzhou Road to pay New Year greetings to the General Manager, as well as their messengers.
On the fifth day of the lunar new year, he spent the whole day on the school grounds, reviewing new recruits and comforting veterans who had been retired due to injuries.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, he made a special trip to Jiangwan New City to inspect hundreds of workshops and military centers such as coin making, cannon casting and gun making.
It wasn't until the seventh day of the lunar month that I was finally busy.
In the morning, I explained the matters that needed to be focused on recently in the meeting hall with the chief officers of the 8th Bureau, 2nd Division and 1st Hospital, as well as the backbones of the Staff Headquarters.
When lunch time came, I dragged my laziness and fled back to the back house.
There is still a bit of chill in the air, but the plum blossoms on both sides of the corridor are already in full bloom.
Whenever a breeze blows, the petals fly down like snow, making people walking on the corridor feel like they are in a sea of petals.
The fragrance is fragrant and warmth fills their heads and faces.
In Zhu Chongjiu's memory, the plum blossoms in another time and space should not look like this.
A plant like this with flowers blooming all over the tree and falling like snow should be cherry blossoms.
But his botany skills in his previous life were as bad as his ability to chase girls, so in this life he didn't dare to show his shame and just followed the crowd and looked at the fallen cherry blossoms in the garden as plum blossoms.
I thought that in another time and space, I was just an otaku, and I didn't even hold a girl's hand a few times.
In this life, he had married nine wives at once, and he felt that the scene in front of him suddenly seemed like a dream.
I remember when he was reading novels on the Internet, he would drool over the idea of others marrying seventeen or eight wives and building a huge harem.
When it was his turn, he realized that unless his heart was strong enough, having too many wives might not be a blessing.
At least, whenever he saw the resentment inadvertently revealed in the other eight pairs of eyes, his heart always seemed to be secretly poked by someone's needle.
However, I didn't even dare to mention letting the eight concubines go home.
Because when he first discussed with Lu Shuang'er, the answer he got was, "If your husband wants to put his concubines in the name of jealousy, he should force them to death.
Now that they have entered the Zhu family, no matter you like them or not, It’s all their lives.
If they are let out, no one will dare to take them in.
Just the gossip of the world will force them to find a way out.”

"This" When he first heard Lu Shuang'er's words, Zhu Chongjiu was still a little hesitant.
But as he adapted to life and understood folk customs, he found that his wife spoke every word correctly.
A perfect woman in this time and space not only needs to be beautiful, gentle, and dabble in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she also needs to be able to eliminate jealousy on her own and know how to recommend a suitable wife to her husband.
The more a prince's family is, the more so.
Otherwise, they will be shrews and jealous women, and they will be given all kinds of bad reputations during their lifetime, and they will still be scolded for hundreds of years after their death.
"It seems that men and women are equal.
I'm afraid I will never mention it in my life."
Zhu Chongjiu is not a straight man, and of course he will not take the initiative to promote feminism.
So he had to adopt a resigned attitude.
As for the matters in the backyard, Lu Shuang'er has always been left to make the decision, and he doesn't care about it.
And Na Lu Shuang'er is a rare smart woman.
She knows her husband's temperament, so she doesn't worry about her own status.
On the other hand, he became more and more kind and respectful to the other eight dowry people.
As a result, Zhu Chongjiu's harem was peaceful.
There had never been any messy fights between wives and concubines, and there had never been a lot of housework to upset him.
But today, the atmosphere in the backyard was obviously not right.
Hearing his footsteps, his wife, who usually rushed to greet him immediately, was nowhere to be seen, and the other eight concubines were also silent.
The entire back house was quiet, with very few birds chirping.
Only the parrot hanging on the branch at the door of the second hall saw Zhu Chongjiu's figure passing through the sea of flowers.
He suddenly opened his voice and shouted: "The husband is back, the husband is back, the husband is back."
Each time he called, he changed his voice.
This kind of voice sounds extremely charming
