Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ¡°In this world, there are people who seem to be smart, but they always complicate simple problems. As a result, they are mistaken for their cleverness.

    "Some people seem to have simple minds, but they can often simplify complex problems. As a result, they can always solve seemingly unsolvable problems and make the road of life wider and wider.

    Like our beloved Princess Ning¡¯an.

    After making up her mind, she went to the palace to see her brother.

    At that time, Emperor Longqing was frowning with Feng Bao.

    The reason is that after Eunuch Feng took over the Royal Horse Prison, he discovered that the Imperial Guards were seriously short of personnel - the Warriors Battalion had a quota of 5,000, but only 2,000 were in the camp; the Four Guards Battalion had a quota of 12,000, and only 3,000 were in the camp.

    The emperor was shocked when he heard this. How come these days, even my personal soldiers have shrunk so much?  It¡¯s actually less than one-third of the quota!

    "Isn't it hard for such a small number of people to just stay in the forbidden palace?"

    "Banzai is absolutely right. The guards are divided into two shifts and can barely patrol the Forbidden City." Feng Bao nodded gloomily and said: "If Your Majesty goes on patrol, there will definitely not be enough guards."

    "I see" Emperor Longqing suddenly realized: "No wonder the officials don't let me leave the palace. It turns out that's why."

    "Yes, there used to be five thousand forbidden troops in Xiyuan, and they found an excuse to disband them last year." Feng Bao gritted his teeth and said: "I went to the cabinet to discuss it, and Mr. Xu Ge asked the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to find it. As a result, Ma Butang was very convincing.  Said, we have no shortage of manpower at all, but on the contrary, we have overstaffed by 3,000 people The civil servants regard the manpower of the Royal Horse Supervisors who guard the nineteen forage farms in the world as forbidden soldiers!"

    "Long live, can those military households who can only let their horses cut grass be considered forbidden soldiers?" Eunuch Feng said with a mournful face: "Isn't this bullying others?"

    "What did Mr. Xu Ge say?" Emperor Longqing looked longingly at Feng Bao.

    "Of course Mr. Xu Ge reconciled and asked Ma Butang to allocate more money, but Ma Butang cried and said that the money in Taicang now is smoother than the minister's beard"

    Feng Bao burst into tears: "Is that possible? I have never had one."

    "Mr. Xu Ge asked me to write it down and said that when money becomes abundant, I will give priority to solving the problem." Feng Bao spit out his voice and said: "It's just a painting As poor as the court is now, don't think about it in three to five years.  Slow down."

    "Yes." Long Qing said with deep understanding: "I saw the memorials of people from all over the country crying about poverty, and I was so worried that I couldn't sleep all night long."

    After a pause, he sighed and said: "In recent months, I have not even dared to look at it. I asked Teng Xiang to send everything directly to the cabinet, so that I can sleep peacefully."

    Feng Baoxin said, well, this is very spiritual.

    "I believe that the most urgent task at the moment is to recall the laid-off forbidden soldiers, otherwise as time goes by, people will not know where to look." He quickly brought the topic back and said: "But we can only find the money ourselves."

    "Hey, change for money" Long Qing scratched his head in distress. He had white hair recently.

    It¡¯s definitely not about kidney deficiency and gray hair, it¡¯s about worrying about money.

    "I even returned the batch of exquisite porcelain that I ordered. Where can I get change for you? You can't imitate those prodigals and sell off their property, right?"

    While the emperor was sighing, the little chamberlain outside came in and reported that the eldest princess was here.

    "Oh, the Goddess of Wealth is here. You go down first, and I will see if there is anything I can do to help you get some money."

    The emperor was worried that he might have to talk down to his sister later, so he sent Feng Bao away as well.

    ??~~

    When the eldest princess entered the Nuan Pavilion, Feng Baoping stepped back and served tea in person.

    Then he exited, closed the partition, and put his ear against the crack of the door.

    ¡°Eunuch Feng is definitely not suffering from an occupational disease as a spy, but because he is too worried about the recruitment work of the Imperial Horse Guards

    ??~~

    In the Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Longqing sat cross-legged on the dragon chair, looking at his sister sitting on the brocade pier opposite with a smile.

    "Ning'an, I won't see you coming after the Chinese New Year."

    ¡°I just went to see the queen a few days ago.¡±

    "Then why don't you come here, brother? How many times have I told you, no matter how busy I am, I still have time to talk to you."

    Longqing has always valued affection and righteousness, let alone asking for help from others today?  That attitude was not like that of an emperor, but more like that of his nephew in front of his niece.

    Ning An understood immediately, looked at Long Qing with a half-smile and said, "Brother, is the emperor short of money again?"

    "Well, how can we say that brothers and sisters are connected by heart." Long Qing smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

    He told Ning An what happened just now, then looked at Ning An anxiously and said:

    "Look, brother, I reallyIt¡¯s just a waste of money, but it¡¯s something serious¡­¡±

    "But there is really no money in the emperor's account." Ning Anxin said, it is better to come early than to come by chance.  This is really God helping me, so he pretended to sigh:

    "The 50,000 taels of silver given to the palace after the New Year was collected by searching everywhere. As a result, the capital for opening the new year's business was not enough, so I could only sell a dozen stores to barely maintain this situation."

    "Hey" Long Qing sighed: "Then let's sell a dozen more."

    "Brother, you are killing the goose to obtain the egg!" Ning'an raised his eyebrows and glared: "Sell off those properties passed down by your ancestors, and your family will be begging for food in the future?"

    ¡°She didn¡¯t mean to beg on the streets, but to beg from the Ministry of Household Affairs.  The palace's internal funds were separate from the court's Taicang, and the emperor could not directly reach out.

    Long Qing hurriedly surrendered and said, "Don't glare at me. I just said it casually and will think of other ways."

    "Hey." Ning An sighed, took out a ticket from his sleeve and handed it to Long Qing.

    Long Qing took a look and saw that the denomination was 50,000 taels. He happily took the ticket and said, "It turns out that the emperor's sister has been prepared for it."

    "This is not in the imperial account, it's my personal property." Ning An said lightly.

    "Oh?" When Long Qing heard this, he hurriedly handed it back to his sister and said, "Brother, I can't take it. If I ask you to pay for it privately, it's better for me to sell the inventory in the palace."

    "Take it if it's given to you." Ning An patted the meeting ticket back into Long Qing's hand and said, "This is what I made in partnership with others, and I didn't sell it."

    "Then I won't be polite to you, brother." Long Qing was really poor, so he accepted the meeting ticket with a blushing face and said: "The internal treasury has been too tight recently. If you go back and relax, you will definitely return it."  you."

    "No need, just promise me something." Ning An looked at the emperor's brother with twinkling eyes.

    "Brother, when did you not agree to come?" Long Qing couldn't help but be surprised, and suddenly felt that the money was a bit hot and asked: "What on earth do you need to bribe me for?"

    "You first say you promise me, and then I'll tell you." Ning An stretched out his hand to grab it.

    Long Qing held the ticket under his elbow. After all, he was a man with short ambitions and said: "Okay, you say."

    "Let's start with this business"

    Ning An then told the emperor about the fact that in order to solve the sequelae of relieving the refugees, she and others set up a coal lotus root farm. As a result, the problem was not only solved, but also a huge profit was made In fact, she only received 40,000 taels.  , in order to enhance his persuasiveness, he posted another ten thousand taels himself.

    Long Qing was dumbfounded at first. He didn't expect there was such easy money in the world, but as he listened, his brows furrowed.

    "Sister, you have made a lot of money just by building coal mines, and you still have to buy thousands of coal mines. Is that enough?"

    "How many people will be hired to dig coal? I'm afraid it won't be enough to bring all the refugees outside Beijing. What if someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of this?"

    To avoid hurting his sister¡¯s heart, Long Qing quickly clarified: ¡°Of course I have no worries about you, I mean the person who is partnering with you¡±

    "You can rest assured about that person." Ning An silently said sorry to Zhao Hao. For the sake of mother's lifelong happiness, I can only give your father your credit.

    "I can guarantee with my life that he will never betray the emperor!"

    "Who is that person?" Emperor Longqing is indeed a man who reads erotic novels all day long. He is not as sensitive as a man in this regard.  "It sounds like the relationship is very unusual."

    "Of course it's not ordinary" Ning An took a deep breath, mustered up his courage and said in shock:

    "I'm here to tell you today - we are together!"
