Chapter 77 Prepare for the New Year!

It is not a luxury for Zhu Youxiao to celebrate a quiet New Year.

Although the Later Jin launched, judging from the news just now, it was not clear that its real purpose and the real target of the attack.

But the preparations have been done in place, and the money, grain and ammunition and medicine are well prepared. The military and towns are also very vigilant and have arrangements for the fight.

If this is not possible, Zhu Youxiao has no choice. Besides, he is anxious in the palace and cannot command indiscriminately.

Ningyuan was so strong that with Xiong Tingbi personally taking charge and Red Barbarian cannons, even if Jiannu came with one hundred or eighty thousand, he could not conquer it;

Juehua's defense facilities are also complete, with He Kegang and others commanding, and the navy assisting the war. The sea surface may not be frozen. It is not an ordinary difficulty for Jiannu to break through;

The two associations of Da Zhangpan, Kong Youde, and Dengzhen reinforcements, relying on their complete deep defense line, as well as the artillery and eagle guns, they should be very sure of being able to defend themselves and not lose them;

The headquarters of Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang has the most people and his weapons and equipment are not bad. In addition, the agility of the Mao guerrilla captain, even if he cannot defend it on land, there is no problem to retreat to the island, right?

Damn Jiannu, I'll fight after the New Year, just a few days away?

Zhu Youxiao scolded him in his heart, came to the sand table, and analyzed it carefully again, and felt relieved. It was useless to worry about it. Just thinking about it is useless, just wait for the news later!

Although the launch of Jiannu made Zhu Youxiao a little unhappy, this was not unexpected. So eager to attack made Zhu Youxiao more determined to continue blocking the siege.

Although in his memory, the first great famine in the Later Jin Dynasty seemed to be a few years later, as if it were the Mongolian tribes who sold grain to the pro-jin in Yuan Chonghuan City, which indirectly alleviated the famine in the Later Jin Dynasty.

But now it is very different from history. The embarrassment of the Later Jin Dynasty has emerged, and it is very likely that the economic crisis will occur early.

If you can't grab it this time, it will be even more done next year!

Zhu Youxiao sneered, his heart full of maliciousness, and he added some confidence in the small goal of "Pengling Liao in Five Years".

"The Emperor." Wang Tiqian came in and reported, "The fireworks outside the Meridian Gate have been arranged, and the greenhouse has been set up. Should I notify all the nobles in the harem now?"

Although there were rules for setting fireworks in the Qianqing Palace during the Chinese New Year, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was a waste for the people in the Guang Palace to see it himself, so he made changes.

First, it does not start from the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, but from the 28th to the first day of the Lunar New Year; second, it changes to the open space outside the Meridian Gate and allows the people of the capital to come and watch.

In addition to setting off fireworks, there are also Aoshan lanterns and fireworks in the palace, which are also moved outside the Meridian Gate to display, demonstrating the atmosphere of celebrating with the people.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and said, "Concubine Yu should be more careful and send more palace servants to take care of her. If she doesn't want to go and see her, don't force her."

"Yes, I will send someone to pass the emperor's oral order." Wang Tiqian knew that it was because Concubine Yu had a body, and the emperor valued it very much and agreed respectfully.

Unfortunately, fireworks are not allowed in the harem, for fear of causing fire. Zhu Youxiao was a little regretful, but he still knew which one is more important and did not change this rule.

"Let's set off some fireworks on the Qianqing Palace on New Year's Eve!" Zhu Youxiao ordered again: "The concubines in Xuan's harem come here to have a New Year's Eve dinner with me."

Although there is no such rule, it is nothing in the palace. This is also the emperor taking care of all the concubines and there is no need to go to the Meridian Gate to watch.

Wang Tigan bowed and agreed, but did not go immediately, and continued to wait for the emperor's orders.

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and asked, "Eating dumplings will bring lucky things, Wang Pao said to me."

During the New Year in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty usually starts on the fifth day of the first day, burning incense and setting off fireworks, drinking pepper and cypress wine, eating water and snacks, that is, dumplings.

There are also hidden money in the dumplings, and what you eat is expected to be auspicious for a year. The emperor is naturally not that vulgar. The dumplings are filled with small bamboo cards with prizes written on them.

For example, if the bamboo plaque says "jade pendant". When you eat it, you will take it to receive the prize, and the emperor will reward you with a jade pendant.

Hey, this is interesting.

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "Since that's the case, the three emperor girls came too. For more prizes, give more. For the New Year, we want to have a festive and lively atmosphere."

OK, whatever the emperor says is what he says!

Wang Tigan accepted the order with a flattering smile, but did not forget to compliment the emperor for caring for family affection.

Zhu Youxiao is never stingy in the province if it should not be.

To crack down on bad gentry students, another round of money was made. Before the New Year, the official pension system was officially launched, and year-end bonuses were also issued to hard-working and loyal ministers. Among them, Wang Tigan and Lao Wei and other father-in-law were also among them.

In fact, the emperor’s reward does not depend on how much money it costs. It means that the emperor has you in his heart, which is more important than anything else.

Old Wei and Lao Wang both saw the fate of Wang Shi and other corrupt father-in-laws. And those corrupt officials who were confiscated showed their joy and disgust.

How much can you spend if you are greedy for money? Once you are guilty, you will lose your head. What's the use of asking for money?

There are nursing homes in the suburbs of the city, and pensions are available for retirement, which is enough for money to spend, and there are also small eunuchs who serve them.

As long as you do it honestly, you don’t have to worry about your old life problems. This is much better than spending money to raise your godson. I wonder if it’s a jealous person.

This is a blessing for a long time. Just do your best to serve.

Well, I also have to pray for longevity and longevity, and that I can always protect myself. If I change my master, I will not talk about changing the rules, but I will still trust and respect favors so much?

Wang Tigan was ordered to surrender, but Zhu Youxiao reached out to stop him and said, "I want to leave the palace for a walk, and Wang's companion will make arrangements immediately."

"The Emperor——" Wang Tigan hesitated for a moment, but still did not dissuade him, and bowed and said, "I will go and arrange it now."

I haven't had a "private visit" for a long time. I was in the palace every day, looking at those faces, Zhu Youxiao was a little nervous.

……………………

Lu Jianxing became a hundred households, but he gradually deviated from the original work of the Jinyiwei and was about to become the emperor's personal bodyguard.

Every day is about the end of the morning court, Lu Jianxing and his brothers rushed to the Ganqing Gate and waited in the dedicated doorman.

No matter whether the emperor goes out or not, you have to be prepared and you must be there as soon as possible.

Therefore, Wang Tigan made arrangements very quickly. The time was not long, and the emperor and Li Chengcheng, dressed in casual clothes, left the Ganqing Palace, got into the car, and under the protection of several plainclothes guards, they quietly entered the streets of the capital.

Since the victory of Guangning, there has been no police in Liaodong for a long time, but there have been several envoys who reported the victory shouting and galloping across the streets.

Although Liaodong is far away, victory or defeat does not affect life much. However, the stability of people's hearts can still be reflected in many places.

As the New Year is approaching, whether it is a wealthy or a commoner, new couplets are indispensable for the front door, and lanterns are indispensable.
