Piao Shiyi was determined to enrich Zhou Yu's harem, but Zhou Yu was also determined not to add new people to the harem now.

Even if he is not concerned about the purity of the harem, Zhou Yu must also consider whether his body can bear it. If there are too many people, it will be troublesome. However, as an emperor with only one concubine and three concubines, it is indeed a problem now that the first prince has not been born yet.

After a while, even if Shiyi didn't say anything, other ministers would definitely mention this matter to the court. Especially after the Southern Expedition was over, a new group of people would definitely need to be admitted to the palace, and Zhou Yu had no choice at that time.

reject.

Anyway, they have all started this way. Zhou Yu feels that now there is no need to worry about enriching the harem. If you really want to find something, you have to find something that you like. As time goes on, it will take a year or two.

That's it for adding one or two new people to the palace.

A man must be lustful. Since he became the emperor, Zhou Yu actually had no intention of spending his whole life guarding these people, but he couldn't do it so casually.

"Okay, Queen, I have my own plans for this matter, so I won't worry about it for now. As for when the three noble concubines will be able to conceive children, just let nature take its course."

Kao Shiyi was a little annoyed when he saw that Zhou Yu refused to eat. He pinched Zhou Yu lightly under the table and started eating in silence.

The three noble concubines present also felt happy when they saw Zhou Yu's statement.

That night, Zhou Yu stayed in Jin Zhen'er's palace, and enjoyed Jin Zhen'er's service throughout the night, enough to write a 10,000-word article describing various processes and feelings.

When another month passed, a new person finally appeared in the palace. As expected, the prince was born as the imperial doctor said. The mother and child were in good health and were safe.

The palace was overjoyed and the whole world was overjoyed. Loads of gifts were brought from all over the country and sent to the palace. After giving birth to the prince, Zhou Yu directly made the prince born by Piao Shiyi the prince and gave him a famous career.

With the presence of the crown prince, Zhou Yu obviously felt that the atmosphere inside and outside the palace was a little different. There was a more prosperous feeling inside, as if everyone had found something and rushed to work, and they became more energetic.

Although Zhou Yu understands the reason for this and understands the thoughts of these people, it does not mean that he agrees with such thoughts.

But some things that were hanging on the minds of many people were suppressed with the appearance of the prince.

In ancient times, there were many cases of premature death of children, and there were also many children in the royal family who died young, so Zhou Yu was also more concerned about this prince. After all, this was his own child. After many years of working in the medical field, it seemed that he finally had one.

Seeing this child changing every day, Zhou Yu must have liked it very much, but he didn't change much because of it.

That is to say, the time spent staying in the harem became more and more, and soon Jin Zhener, Liu Fei and Li Fei all became pregnant one after another.

A few more months passed, and the Southern Expedition, which had been easy at the beginning, gradually slowed down and began to digest the occupied city land. Some aristocratic families who had made great contributions were also rewarded by Zhou Yu and received titles.

Only the fiefdom matter was delayed.

But everyone had no objections to Zhou Yu's arrangement, because it was agreed from the beginning that the feudal lands would be divided after the Southern Kingdom was completely conquered and all the cities were captured. However, in addition to the fiefdoms and titles, the various families received many benefits.

So it was able to settle down, and it has been making steady progress.

Finally, half a month before the prince's first birthday, Zhou Shengchen led the Tiger Army and other 500,000 troops to capture the capital of the Southern Kingdom in one fell swoop. The Emperor of the Southern Kingdom surrendered and became vassal. The Southern Expedition ended in just one year.

But the end of the Southern Expedition was only a new beginning. Countless officials and students selected from the Imperial College, universities and the imperial court came to the Southern Kingdom and began to take over countless government affairs. The Southern Kingdom's army was also completely disbanded or demobilized.

The emperor brought countless people to Zhongzhou to enter the palace to see the saint.

To digest the entire Southern Kingdom and truly incorporate the Southern Kingdom into the rule cannot be accomplished overnight, but the existence of the aristocratic family can speed up the process and help restore people's livelihood.

After taking over the Southern Kingdom, Zhou Yu began to enfeoff the land. He carefully selected countless territories from the entire country and summoned all the meritorious families, kings with different surnames, generals and people who had contributed to the southern expedition.

The map was spread out in front of everyone, and the surrounding areas were covered with fiefdoms. A complete city was definitely impossible, and it was mainly towns, or places with fertile land, or places with special products. In short

The environment must be a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, otherwise the heads of these aristocratic families would not be able to cope with it.

Let me tell everyone directly that they can choose these fiefdoms by themselves. They can choose whatever level they want and how many military exploits they have. Let them choose and fight for themselves and discuss among themselves. This map will be placed here forever. It will definitely be used in the future.

As it gets bigger and bigger, you can also keep your military exploits without a fiefdom this time, and after three years of cultivation, you can continue to open up to the outside world.

At that time, these military achievements can be exchanged for titles or fiefs.

There is no problem if you want the place where the family made its fortune and where it is now. Anyway, as I said, it will definitely not work in the city. The neighboring towns can discuss it. In short, as long as there is supervision, anything can be said. Besides, all the city guards must be returned.

The work report in Beijing will be arranged separately and will be changed every five years anyway.

But Zhou Yu knew very well what these people cared about. Zhou Yu also asked the workshop to make a lot of things, things that could reflect their military achievements and status, such as medals, canes, gold medals, etc. He also made special

Clothing, carriages, and different things are distributed according to different titles.

Honor, give it to them if they want it, give it to them if they want a symbol of status, if they don't lift them up, don't let them roll up, how can they do things so willingly? These things are nothing in Zhou Yu's eyes

not worth.

On the day of the prince's first birthday banquet, all the heads of the great families and kings came to congratulate him. The monarch of the Southern Kingdom was named King Ningnan as a minister, and he knelt down to see the emperor, the queen, and the prince in front of the world.

From then on, the world was unified, and Zhou Yu took advantage of the situation and changed the name of his country to Ming. Simply because he was too lazy to think about it, he decided on the name of Ming. He also used the sun and moon flag that he carefully drew as his flag, and began to cultivate himself, rest, and digest.

Harvest, constantly promulgating various new policies, while on the one hand, they are focusing on the development of industry and agriculture, expanding the military, developing Jinyiwei, developing the East Factory, and continuing to penetrate downwards and externally.
