    The status of women has always been a topic worthy of discussion.

    In the long history, except for matrilineal societies, women have existed as vassals of men for most of the time.

    But even so, even when women are at the lowest status, there is always a group of women standing at the top, who can even compete with men.

    This group of people may be called princesses, such as those unruly princesses in the Tang Dynasty.

    This group of people may be called queens and concubines, such as the queen with the sun and moon in the sky.

    This group of people may be called ladies, such as the group of dignified women in front of us.

    "The empress has arrived"

    With the eunuch¡¯s drawn-out voice, the Queen Mother appeared.

    Hu Shanxiang supported her left hand and held the Queen Mother's hand as she walked on the right side.

    This is a peaceful scene, so after saluting, the Queen Mother also said with a smile: "The plan for the year lies in spring. Although I hope that it will be spring all year round, without the scorching heat in summer, how can there be a good harvest in autumn?"

    Most of the ladies standing here are politically sensitive, and they understand those code words instantly.

    So everyone apologized but refused to speak.

    ¡ª¡ªThe hot summer has just passed, which is extremely hot for the gentry and the powerful.  But after this summer, there will be a bumper harvest.

    Hu Shanxiang sat at Xia Shou, but Duanduan didn't have a special seat, so he sat next to the Queen Mother.

    The Queen Mother glanced at the ladies below, then nodded and said, "Let's serve wine and food."

    There is a small table for each person and a cushion for each person.

    After a while of jingling rings, the ladies all sat down.

    Naturally, the ladies cannot be the same as men, so the dishes are mainly exquisite.

    Zhang Shuhui calmly ate a small dumpling. The flavor of the fillings suddenly burst out, and she discovered that there were actually several fillings combined. Then the various flavors went from being distinct at the beginning to delicious after mixing

    This is a taste bud explosion!

    Zhang Shuhui glanced at the opposite side, and all she saw was Zhenjing, that is, an expressionless face.

    It¡¯s best to put away any feelings you have in this place, and brag about it to your family when you go home, or show off to outsiders, but at the moment, you can only be honest.

    The Fang family¡¯s diet is very complex. Fang Xing¡¯s taste is heavy, while Zhang Shuhui and Xiao Bai¡¯s taste is light, so they often cook in two categories.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ª¡ªAs time goes by, those with light-tasting also learned to eat spicy food, and those with heavy-tasting food also learned to eat light).

    This is fusion.

    Zhang Shuhui looked away for a moment, and the queen above had already raised her glass.

    So everyone raised a toast to the Queen Mother.

    After drinking the wine, the Queen Mother looked down calmly and said, "Mrs. Xinghe"

    Zhang Shuhui stood up slowly. The Queen Mother pressed her hands and said, "Sit down."

    No one knew what the Queen Mother meant. After Zhang Shuhui sat down, she said slowly: "Uncle Xinghe has worked hard this time at sea. The emperor will remember it!"

    Zhang Shuhui stood up again to thank her.

    "In the past, I always thought that there were just a few fairy mountains overseas, and then they were all water."

    The Queen Mother¡¯s words made everyone laugh.

    Nowadays, businessmen in the south are already struggling with their qualifications to provide goods for overseas trade. The last batch of businessmen who donated money to build new warships have made a lot of money. It is said that many people go directly to the shipyard with money in their pockets.  Expressed willingness to donate money to build ships.

    According to the estimates of those people, if this supply qualification is completely liberalized, the new warships will probably not need to spend money on China.

    But even Xia Yuanji, the most stingy person, disagrees with this. According to him, how can the most important weapon of the country be placed in merchants?

    But how could the Queen Mother speak so superficially?

    And she didn¡¯t need to care about the atmosphere. Even if she didn¡¯t say a word from beginning to end, no one dared to say that the meal was boring.

    So everyone put down their chopsticks and listened carefully.

    "After the treasure ships went to sea many times, I learned that there are large places overseas, and even those places are no smaller than the Ming Dynasty."

    The Queen Mother's tone was calm, as if she was following a script.

    "After the envoy from Taixi came, I realized that this world is not just the Ming Dynasty, not just the grasslands, but also great countries in the distance. Only then did I feel that I was a frog in the well in the past."

    "My Majesty is joking. If it hadn't been for what I just said, I wouldn't even know about the Thai-Spanish Mission!""Yes! Those foreign vassals are barbaric, and the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Naturally, you don't have to worry about them"

    "I heard that Thai and Western women also wear skirts, but both men and women wear very high shoes. I don't know why. I will ask someone to make a pair someday to try"

    ¡°.¡­¡±

    The topic soon became more and more distant. Sitting next to the Queen Mother, listening to these mutterings, she couldn't help but put down her chopsticks and whispered: "Grandmother, they are so gossipy!"

    The Queen Mother was observing these ladies, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but asked: "What is gossip?"

    Duanduan frowned and said, "He just talks a lot, and he also likes to inquire and talk about other people's affairs."

    This is the woman with a long tongue!

    The Queen Mother couldn't help but smile, then touched the top of her head and said, "Drink that bowl of soup, and then you will feel better."

    Duanduan looked at the bowl of mutton soup with medicinal herbs, and couldn't help but sigh like an adult: "The medicines are all poisonous!"

    The Queen Mother looked at Duanduan lovingly, but when she turned her face, all that kindness turned into indifference.

    No need for dry coughing, those noble ladies who are best at judging people have stopped.

    In silence, the Queen Mother said: "There is a lot of land overseas. Anyone who wants land can go there. When you get there, you can have as much as you want. As long as there are people farming, you can take it."

    "Don't even look at the Central Plains!"

    The Queen Mother raised a toast, and everyone hurriedly drank.

    "Who told me last time"

    The Queen Mother held the wine glass and thought for a while, then said: "It is said that the land in the Central Plains has been cultivated for many years and has long been overwhelmed. Once there is any disturbance, it will be a famine. I am thinking of overseas. It is said that the land there is so fertile that even a chopstick can survive.  .¡±

    ¡­¡­

    The banquet ended quickly, and the Queen Mother also sent a basket of fresh vegetables to each family.

    Then, amid a burst of praise for the emperor's grace, everyone was led out of the palace.

    "Is this appeasing?"

    ¡°More banging.¡±

    "We have been cleared of many fields. What the empress means is that we should not bother with the Central Plains. If we still want land, then go overseas."

    "Where's Nu'er Gandusi? Rumor has it that the fertile land over there is black. That's a good place! It's closer."

    ¡°They don¡¯t accept immigrants now, they say it¡¯s full.¡±

    "It's full? No, it's a big place."

    ¡°People say immigrants will give birth to babies, so you have to reserve space for your children and grandchildren, otherwise, after a few generations, there will be no land for farming.¡±

    A group of ladies were analyzing the Queen Mother's words, and then they were all a little frustrated.

    "I heard that we will clean up all the slaves with slave registrations in the future. Hey! Where can we find people to farm overseas?"

    A noble lady sneered and exposed the hole the emperor had dug for everyone. Then she found that the surrounding area was suddenly empty, so she said harshly: "What are you afraid of? There is no way to survive. Can't you say a few words?"

    The maids and eunuchs who escorted them out all looked down at the road, but everyone knew that what the lady just said would be spread to those who should know it later.

    The noble lady regretted a little. When she saw Zhang Shuhui and Wu languishing behind her, she said with red eyes and choked up: "It's good to have holy relatives! People like us can only linger on, that's all. Let's go back."  The whole family has tied themselves up to plead guilty."

    These words smacked of self-destruction, and they also slandered Zhu Zhanji for his cruelty.

    For a moment, everyone quickened their pace and soon left this woman behind.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
