***
In this cold winter, lying in a hot bath is extremely comfortable, not to mention that there are two beauties, Li Zhiyin and Dong Xiaowan, to help with the rubbing.
Qin Mu put the affairs of the Chechen tribe, the south of the desert, the north of the desert, the Hetao, the Western Regions, and the Qinghai-Tibet together and thought about it comprehensively. In the end, he felt that now was the time to let go and let the military generals and the officials in charge of planning in the Ministry of War display their talents.
In the past, he was worried that the prestige of his generals was too high, so he always led the army in person and always kept a tight control over the army. In fact, the generals did not have much room for autonomy and were almost all shrouded in the aura of the emperor.
Now, the martial arts and prestige of the emperor are no longer surpassed by any general. It is time to relax and let them display their talents.
The petals floating on the water surface, mixed with the faint fragrance emanating from Li Zhiyin and the others, are as beautiful as jade, with icy skin and bones, which can easily make people indulge in the state of "being well fed and warm and thinking about..."
Qin Mu placed his hand on the top of Dong Xiaowan's "S"-shaped buttocks. The buttocks were shaped like a full moon, and the delicate skin was so smooth that it could be broken with a snap of fingers.
Li Zhiyin's eyebrows were slightly raised, her small cherry lips slightly parted, and she said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, in just over a month it will be my father's fiftieth birthday, I, your concubine..."
Qin Mu held her to his chest. The touch of her soft and smooth skin made him feel extremely comfortable. The water in the pond was rippling, and on the surface where flower petals floated, the pair of charming jade pears on her chest were faintly visible, as if swaying gently with the waves.
"You want to go back to North Korea to celebrate your father's birthday?"
"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. I do not want to go back. I just want to find out if there are any merchant ships going to Korea so that you can send a letter back to say hello to my parents."
Although Li Zhiyin was crowned a princess, she was actually the daughter of Yi Yin, the Duke of Kaesong County in Joseon. The Joseon side did not hide this fact, nor could it have. The former Joseon King Yi Jong had only one daughter, who was only six years old.
Not only was her request not high, it was even a bit cheap. If she really asked a merchant ship to send the letter back, how would the Qin Dynasty put its face
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "The 50th birthday should be properly organized. I will instruct the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to send an envoy to Korea..."
"No, no, no, Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. If Your Majesty were to mobilize so many troops, I would be uneasy."
"Haha. Zhiyin, you don't have to do that. In fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has always sent envoys to North Korea and Japan to negotiate and coordinate the affairs of the three countries. This time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will send someone over to implement this matter. Once things are settled, if you have anything to do in the future, just send someone to inform the North Korean Embassy in Beijing."
"Really? That's great."
Li Zhiyin was so happy that she straightened up unconsciously. The pair of pink and tender breasts on her chest came out of the water. After being soaked in hot water for a long time, they were white and rosy, tender and fragrant. It was so touching that Qin Mu couldn't help but reach out and hold them. The soft and elastic feeling made him love it.
King Yi Jun of Joseon is still in the three-year mourning period and needs time to sort out the internal affairs of Joseon. He has not made any progress in consolidating his power and promoting Chinese language and Chinese characters in Joseon.
Qin Mu was anxious to implement the exchange of envoys to speed up the promotion of Chinese and Chinese characters.
North Korea considers itself a small China and has a very high degree of identification with Chinese culture. Aristocrats like Lee Ji-eum not only learn Chinese characters and speak Chinese, but also have a genuine love for classics, history, and Tang and Song poetry.
This is the charm of Chinese culture. With such a foundation, if we persist in forcibly promoting Chinese language and Chinese characters in North Korea, we should be able to succeed.
In fact, both Korea and Japan used Chinese characters in the past. The plaques in the royal palace in Seoul and many historical documents are written in Chinese characters. Although Korea created its own writing system, it has not been able to completely abandon Chinese characters.
Even in Japan, the upper class still takes pride in being able to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters. This phenomenon will never change because of the will of a powerful person.
The reason is that Chinese culture has always maintained its own advancement and has a strong appeal to neighboring countries. If you want to learn more about advanced culture, learning Chinese and Chinese characters is an indispensable means. This is roughly the same as the reason why Chinese people in later generations are keen on learning English.
Qin Mu believed that one day, after severely ravaging all European countries, they would begin to deny and criticize their own civilization, just like China did in the late Qing Dynasty.
This will lead to a strong interest in Chinese culture, and learning Chinese characters and speaking Chinese will become a trend. By then, it will not be difficult for Chinese culture to become a global culture.
To achieve this goal, lying in the arms and legs every day and fantasizing about sex is definitely not enough.
Therefore, even though Li Zhiyin and Dong Xiaowan, two beautiful women with extraordinary beauty, were completely willing to accept his advances, Qin Mu still held back, quickly got up, dressed, combed his hair, and then went to the imperial study to have sex with him at night.
In the past, his energy was mainly focused on external enemies, but now it is time to turn the focus back to the domestic situation.
Li Jilian submitted a petition urging the move of the palace, but the matter should be dealt with coldly for now and we should wait for a while and see if anyone else jumps out.
Considering that Yang Zhi must be feeling bad, Qin Mu thought about it, picked up his pen and wrote a short letter to Yang Zhi, which he sent back to Nanjing at night.
Li Xiangjun and Xu Ruoshi, one was adding ambergris to the rosewood-bottomed cloisonné censer with animal ears, while the other was grinding out a drop of black ink on the Ru kiln's frog-lying lotus inkstone.
Qin Mu spread out the paper, pressed it with a gem-inlaid gilded bronze auspicious animal paperweight, then took a sip of the fragrant tea brought by Li Xiangjun, picked up the brush, dipped it in black, licked the glaze leaf-shaped brush gently to make the tip of the brush firm, and calmly wrote on the paper: 1. Adjust the system of military garrison, conscription, regular replacement of generals, logistics management, weapons and equipment, etc.
Qin Mu stopped writing and said to Xu Ruoshi and Li Xiangjun with a smile, "You two beauties, please go down and have a rest first. I will serve you again in the evening."
Li Xiangjun said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, it is already evening." After that, she bowed to Xu Ruoshi and retreated to the back hall. "Your Majesty, I will be waiting in the back hall. If Your Majesty needs anything, just call me."
"Well, go ahead, read a book, play chess, whatever you want."
Tonight, Qin Mu will make a five-year plan for himself so that the internal affairs of the Qin Dynasty can be carried out in an orderly manner. After Li Xiangjun and the others left, he picked up his pen and wrote while thinking:
Second, promote the civilian use of science and technology, follow the example of the Sino-Agricultural Ministry, adopt a model of government-private cooperation, and organically combine the technologies of the Ministry of Works, Imperial Household Department, Military Equipment Bureau, Shipyard, Weaving Bureau, Internal Affairs Bureau, Imperial Medical Bureau and other departments with private capital to form a virtuous interaction.
Third, establish the Royal Science and Technology Award, promote new-style education in the Royal Elementary School, and prepare to build a polytechnic college to gradually expand the training of engineering talents.
Fourth, accelerate the construction of the navy. Within five years, complete the actual control of the South Pacific islands, expand the influence of the Qin Dynasty to southern Africa, and control the sea power, trade rights, and religious and cultural dominance east of the Cape of Good Hope.
Fifth, integrate Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and let them assist the army in exporting Chinese culture and religious beliefs.
Sixth, conscripted men from Mongolia and Tubo to start the development of Australia and implement military reclamation. (More government-run brothels were set up. Except for government prostitutes, ordinary women were not allowed to go ashore.)
7. Complete market control over Japan and India and make them dumping grounds for Daqin products.
8. Formulate laws to strictly control the number of livestock in the north, prohibit overgrazing, and prevent grassland desertification. Carry out ecological protection of the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the Loess Plateau, prohibit logging, and formulate incentives to encourage tree planting. Accelerate the development and use of coal and the popularization of reinforced concrete buildings to reduce the dependence of the people on wood.
9. Formulate a national road construction plan and gradually roll it out to speed up the liquidity of treasury funds and bank deposits. At the same time, attract private capital to enter, speed up road construction to stimulate market demand, and promote further rapid development of the domestic economy.
10. Reform the judiciary, separate the legislative, law enforcement, procuratorial and judicial powers, and make them independent of local administrative power.
11. Improve the tax system. While refining and optimizing the original tax system, establish luxury consumption tax and personal income tax, etc., to further increase treasury revenue, promote social equity, and protect vulnerable groups.
12. Improve the performance appraisal system for officials, implement property registration for officials, promote lifelong accountability, promote openness and transparency in local administration, and establish a corresponding supervision system to prevent official corruption.
Thirteenth, adjust policies to further encourage childbirth and increase population.
Well, I have to work harder and give birth to more sons, and then I can give them overseas fiefdoms...
