Since they were all so restless, Li Fengyu didn't hold back and said to the Minister of Works, who was leading the charge, "Minister Li, how many women do you have in your harem?"
The Minister of Works did not understand what Li Fengyu meant.
He honestly answered him: "One wife and two concubines."
"One wife and two concubines, what about the children?"
Li Fengyu asked him another question.
The Minister of Works panicked a little, but still answered truthfully: "Three children, one son and two daughters."
"Didn't you say that having many children brings many blessings?"
"Therefore, I will bestow upon you ten concubines..."
Li Fengyu spoke without hesitation.
The Minister of Works was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, this..."
He did have concubines, but the problem was that both of them were his wife's maids.
If he had other concubines, she would definitely make a scene with him.
Li Fengyu raised an eyebrow and said, "You think it's too few? Fine, twenty! If you still think it's not enough..."
He wanted to add more.
The Minister of Works hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, that's not what I meant. I just felt that having two concubines was enough. Your Majesty, I appreciate your kindness, but please bestow them upon other meritorious officials."
"Two aren't enough, we need at least twenty!"
After Li Fengyu finished speaking, he ordered his men to count the twenty women and send them to his residence.
Then.
Li Fengyu then gave fifteen to each of the other two ministers.
After this incident...
None of them dared to say anything, fearing that if they said the wrong thing, the emperor would bestow women upon them.
He dared not dispose of what he had given him so casually.
Keeping them is expensive.
Don't get too angry.
The most speechless thing was that one of the concubines actually went to the emperor and said that her husband couldn't afford to support them and couldn't even give them much money each month.
After this internal turmoil, the imperial court punished many officials, so much so that it seems that most positions are now vacant.
Li Fengyu then decided to grant a special imperial examination.
While he was busy with his own things, An Wanwan was not idle either. She opened three snack shops and a workshop in the capital, working from dawn till dusk every day.
Li Fengyu could only see her at night, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
As soon as An Wanwan came back, he tidied her up, then put his arm around her and said, "When you're busy, you don't think about me at all. You don't even come back to see me once a day."
Upon hearing this...
An Wanwan kissed him and said, "You're talking about me, but what about you? Aren't you pretty busy too?"
"That's different."
After muttering to himself, Li Fengyu said, "By the way, there's something I need to tell you. Your third brother came to see me today."
"What do you want?"
An Wanwan asked curiously.
Li Fengyu leaned closer and said, "He said he doesn't want to be an official, he wants to go into business. He also said he wants to go to sea with your uncle to see the world."
An Wanwan was not surprised at all that An Ke would say that.
An Wanwan then asked, "So, do you agree?"
Li Fengyu hugged An Wanwan and said, "Your third brother has already spoken, how could I disagree? However, I didn't take back his official position, so that if he doesn't want to do business anymore, he can come back to work anytime."
Does he have to be so nice?!
An Wanwan gave him a reproachful look: "You just keep spoiling him!"
Li Fengyu smiled.
"Isn't there a saying, 'Love me, love my dog'? You are the person I love most, and your family is naturally my family too. How could I disagree if my third brother wants to go out for a walk?"
"What if I said I also want to go out for a walk..."
An Wanwan was tackled by Li Fengyu before she could finish speaking.
The next day.
When An Wanwan woke up, it was already afternoon. She felt sore all over and also wanted to sleep.
"We're all human, so why is there such a huge difference!"
The sound of Erbao's voice came in from outside.
"Mother..."
