The sun shines on the ground with red hot sun, and the whole of Nanjing is hot. There are few pedestrians on the streets, and even the usual hawking sounds become weak. In the palace, green trees are shaded, but it is still difficult to block the heat. The palace maids and eunuchs try to hide in the shade, leaving only the cicadas on the big trees.

On the side of the emperor's bedroom, a house covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters was built. Compared with the heat wave outside, the house was full of coolness. The coolness came from a pool of clear water below the house. Except for the edge, the entire house was built into a large pool. The bottom and sides of the pool were all paved with extremely smooth polished marble. The water depth of the pool was only about one meter and four meters. The source of live water was taken from the outside by a bamboo tube and flowed out from the back, making the entire pool remain in a live water state.

At this moment, Wang Fu was lying comfortably by the pool. Several beautiful palace maids stood in the water wearing only three-point clothes from later generations, and gently massaged Wang Fu with gentle jade hands. Although they were in the water, the faces of several palace maids were still flushed. This was the first time they were wearing such strange clothes. Moreover, the emperor had almost all his body except for a pair of shorts.

To be a house, it is better to say that the pavilion is more appropriate, because from the middle of the house to the top, there are no walls except the giant pillars that play a supporting role. The top is covered with glazed tiles, which emits a sparkling light under the sunlight. The light shines from the above space and sprinkles on the body. The heat wave has been completely eliminated, and I feel extremely cool.\\/\Fu first cleaned up the various foreign towns, and then had to deal with the Chinese officials in the court to pull their legs from time to time. Then he had a big battle with Manren. If he was not careful, he might even lose his life. His nerves were always tense. Poor Wang Fu had never enjoyed the fun of being an emperor for a day. Now the Qing Dynasty's army was completely wiped out. The Military Weapon Bureau created killing weapons every day, and tens of thousands of elite troops tested by blood and fire were held tightly in the hands of the emperor. Wang Fu finally had a day to relax.

Seeing that the weather was getting hotter, Wang Fu ordered a pool to be built in the palace. If the emperor really enjoyed it, if it was a swimming pool made of marble and ancillary facilities in the future, it would cost at least millions of yuan to build it. Wang Fu just drew out a pattern and gave an order. A month later, the swimming pool had been built. After more than ten days of idleness, the high temperature in Nanjing came as scheduled. After Wang Fu went to court every day, he spent most of his time in this swimming pool. Even if he stood on it, it would be a pleasure to watch the young and beautiful underground palace maids enter the pool to play in the water.

Liu Ziluo and Ye Wuxiang looked at the emperor and palace maids in the pool enviously. However, they did not dare to go into the water easily. At this time, both of them had slightly bulging abdomen, and they were already possessed dragon seeds. Although Wang Fu repeatedly stated that the pregnant woman had no major problems in going into the water and thought about the children in his stomach, the two of them dared not be careless at all. Wang Fu was unwilling to force him, so he gave up.

The two of them were confirmed to be pregnant last month. The news of the two talented people being pregnant was full of joy. It has been almost a year since the new emperor ascended the throne. Although many ridiculous things happened to the emperor when he ascended the throne, the emperor's series of actions later won the praise of most people, especially Nanjing faced two military disasters and was personally resolved by the emperor's emperor, which made the emperor's reputation soar among the people. It is naturally worthy of happiness to have an emperor's descendant.

For the ministers in the court, although the emperor was in full swing, if he had no son for a long time, once the emperor made a mistake, the entire court would have turmoil. These two talents were reported to be pregnant at the same time. The previous concerns were naturally eliminated. However, the news about the emperor's future disappointed many people, especially some of the very plans of the emperor's kings.

"Fox Meizi." Ye Wuxiang said something in her mouth. She saw an extremely beautiful palace maid deliberately touching the emperor with her chest while massaged the emperor. The emperor squinted his eyes and seemed to be very enjoying it.\\\

"Sister, forget it, we are like this, and we can no longer serve the emperor. There must be a woman who needs to be brought in. If you get angry about this, I don't know how much you will be angry in the future." Liu Ziluo is one year older than Ye Wuxiang, and she sees more open than Ye Wuxiang. Her fingers gently stroked her belly, and her face emits a kind of maternal brilliance. At this time, she thinks more about the little life in this belly than the emperor.

Ye Wuxiang was about to speak when he suddenly heard a slight footsteps outside. He swallowed the words immediately. A palace maid walked in and asked Feng Kezong, the leader of the Jinyiwei, to see him."

Wang Fu opened his slightly closed eyes: "Let him go to Wuying Palace to wait, and I will arrive soon."

"Yes!" The palace maid stepped back.

Wang Fu stood up from the water. Several palace maids surrounded him on the pool and wiped Wang Fu's body. Someone brought clothes and other items. Wang Fu just opened his hands and wore several palace maids to Wang Fu respectively. When Wang Fu came to Wuying Palace, his body was neatly tidy except for a little wet hair.

"I am here to see the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

"Please get up, please come up, you are here to see me this time, what's the point?"

"Report to the emperor, I do have important things. I received the report from the Jinyiwei. The direction of Qingzhou, Shandong, was in chaos again. A man named Xie Qian put forward the slogan to expel the Tartars. He had already entered several counties in Qingzhou, with tens of thousands of troops. Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong of Tartars, was panicked and asked the Manchu leader Mandahai to send the Manchu Eight Banners to quell the rebellion.\\/\"

"Oh, it has reached the point where the Mandahai needs to use the Eight Banners. Has Mandahai sent troops?"

Wang Fu was excited when he heard this. Dorgon sent Mandahai to Shandong, more of which was a powerful force. Unless the Ming army launched a large-scale operation, the Eight Banners would not be dispatched. In the last battle, more than 50,000 Manchus and Mongolian coalitions died, and nearly 40,000 Manchus alone died. Basically every family was responsible for filial piety, and even several people died in a family.

The population base of Manchus is located in which population. In addition to working hard to raise and waiting for the next generation to grow up, only in the old Manchu forests, can you capture some savage Jurchens and join the Manchus. Nurhaci and Huang Taiji have done this kind of thing. Most savage Jurchens make a living by hunting and are skillful in archery techniques. As long as you add them, you will be elite warriors.\//\

However, with the arrest of Nurhaci and Huang Taiji, the number of savage Jurchen has become smaller and smaller in recent years. Although Manren is still doing this every year, the number of people is limited. Dorgon has reached the point where he is reluctant to sacrifice a Manchu easily. Although the Yulin thieves are having fun, Manchu has never been dispatched. Otherwise, with those savage Jurchens who are proficient in Laolin's combat, the Yulin thieves will probably not escape the fate of being wiped out no matter how deep they hide.

This time, the uprising of Xie Qian's troops, Shandong was in chaos at the same time. Fang Dayou forced him to have no choice but to invite the people to come forward and quickly extinguish the wave.

Feng Kezong shook his head: "No, the Tartars commander rejected Fang Dayou's proposal and only transferred Kong Youde. Geng Zhongming attacked him. The army is currently on its way. Weichen estimated that the two sides will fight in a few days."

Hearing that the Manchu army did not go out, Wang Fu showed a look of disappointment on his face. If Xie Qian's uprising could really make Manchu use its main force, Wang Fu would not mind helping him, let Huang De's power army enter Shandong, and then use the machine to annihilate some Manchus, and be sure to hurt Manchus.

In Wang Fu's standardization, it was not until three years later that the court had compiled another 50,000-feather Yulin Guard to change clothes before the Southern Ming Dynasty could launch a decisive battle against the Qing Dynasty. Of course, the Manchus could not be calmed down in the middle. If Manchus could be weakened, it would be weakened by a point. Therefore, Wang Fu sold arms to the Dashun Army without hesitation. The armed forces without money brought trouble to the Yulin thieves.

There is no problem in refitting the Yulin Guard in three years. The military weapon bureau's output of flintlock rifles has reached 3,200 per month. Even if the current output is maintained, more than 100,000 flintlock rifles can be produced in three years. Moreover, the output will only be further improved in the future. It is just that another 50,000 Yulin Guards have to be trained. The military expenditure is a big problem. Based on the current 50,000 Yulin Guards, the military expenditure is as high as more than 4 million taels per year. In addition to other expenses, it is no less than 5 million a year. The annual tax of the Ming Dynasty is only 7 million taels. If Wang Fu had other inputs, these 50,000 people would not be able to afford it, let alone 50,000 more people would have to be raised.

If you want to raise another 50,000 Yulin Guards, you must at least double the taxes of the Ming Dynasty within three years. Increased taxes are to kill chickens and get eggs. Only by starting from two items can you greatly increase the income of the imperial court on a large scale. One is naturally the maritime trade. At present, the interests of the maritime trade in the Ming Dynasty are almost completely in the hands of Zheng Zhilong. Just by issuing ship quotas to maritime merchants in the coastal areas, Zheng Zhilong's annual income is as many as millions of taels. With Zheng Zhilong's own fleet, the Zheng family's income at sea can be compared with the income of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and even far higher than that of the Ming Dynasty.

Based on this alone, no matter how loyal Zheng Zhilong was to the court, Wang Fu would go on or on land. The Zheng family army had already formed a system alone. It was completely an unstable factor behind him. Before Zheng Zhilong, even if Wang Fu trained 100,000 Yulin Guards, he was not at ease to go north to fight the Qing Dynasty. Others did not notice that Wang Fu could see clearly that relying on the huge fleet, Zheng Zhilong's army could be suddenly deployed to any point along the coast. If Wang Fu fought against the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong's slight disagreement might lead to Wang Fu's decisive battle failure.

The second item is to establish a bank. The bank can not only mint coins, but also issue bank notes. The credit of the user department is used as a guarantee. As long as the bank notes can pass through the whole country, with the huge wealth of the Ming Dynasty, the income will not be less than the land tax collected by the court. If both items are completed, Wang Fu expects that the court's income will be more than quadrupled than now. At that time, not only can he afford the expenses of 100,000 Yulin Guards, but the court's finances will be much easier than now.
