The Royal Palace.
After the morning court, the emperor severely scolded the Minister of Household Affairs in the Qianqing Palace and ordered him to raise the food and salary of the soldiers in Northern Xinjiang within half a month, otherwise he would be dismissed and investigated.
When the Minister of the Ministry of Finance came out, his legs were trembling.
The Minister of the Ministry of War originally wanted to come here to ask for salary, but it was obvious that the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu turned around and turned back.
In the main hall, the emperor's face was full of anger, and he ordered Lei Yan, the leader of the Jinling Guards, who was kneeling on the ground: "The tax money from Jiangnan has not been turned over for a long time, and it has something to do with Lao Ba. You should take someone over there immediately to find out for me. "
Lei Yan: "I accept my order in a humble position."
The emperor's eyes narrowed, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes: "Remember, I must find out Lao Ba's henchmen this time."
After Lei Yan left, the emperor looked at Eunuch An, who had been acting as an invisible man in the corner: "Go and call Wei Qi in for me."
Eunuch An quickly responded: "Yes." After saying that, he bent down and exited the hall. After a while, he led Wei Qi in.
The emperor looked at Wei Qi and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Northern Xinjiang is becoming more and more unstable. Food and wages must be raised. You go to the Liulichang in person and ask Fei Yu to send the silver earned from selling colored glaze in the past two months to the Ministry of War. go."
Wei Qi: "I will take care of it immediately."
The emperor nodded, waited for Wei Qi to leave, then reached out and rubbed his temples.
Fortunately, the Liulic Factory was built, and the sales of colored glaze were good, making some money. Otherwise, the treasury would not be able to come up with the food and wages for Northern Xinjiang this time.
Eunuch An saw that the emperor could not hide his tiredness on his brows. After thinking for a while, he cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten anything since the morning. The imperial kitchen has made yam porridge. The yam was just sent by the young prince." Come on, my servant will bring you a bowl to try?"
The northern border is unstable, King Duan is ready to make a move, and the Jiang family is constantly restricting him. All these make the emperor very annoyed, and he has no appetite at all. However, I heard that Xiao Yeyang sent it specially, so he thought about it and said: "Bring me a bowl."
Eunuch An looked happy, and immediately trotted back and went to serve it himself. Soon, he came over with yam porridge: "Your Majesty, please try it quickly, my servant smells it delicious."
Seeing that the yam porridge looked really good, the emperor took a bite. After tasting it, a smile appeared on his face: "It tastes really good, Yang'er is interested."
Eunuch An immediately smiled and said, "Isn't that right? This young prince is really filial. Since I went to Zhongzhou, every time I encounter good food, I will send some to Beijing for you to try."
Hearing this, the emperor¡¯s face became more smiley: ¡°These yams are good, remember to send some to Prince Ping¡¯s Mansion. By the way, did Yang¡¯er also send a cart of red fruits?¡±
Eunuch An nodded: "Yes, if the young prince hadn't said that red fruits can be eaten, the servants wouldn't have believed it." Red fruits are also used in the palace, but they are all used as bonsai.
"The people in the imperial kitchen made several dishes according to the recipe given by the young prince. I went to try the dishes. They tasted really good. Your Majesty, please serve some dishes made with red fruits for lunch later. ?¡±
The emperor became interested: "Okay, I'll eat red fruits for lunch today no, let's make vegetables from tomatoes."
When Eunuch An saw that the emperor had eaten most of the bowl of yam porridge, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of state affairs during this period, the emperor's appetite has not been very good. He eats very little at every meal and has lost weight, but he is very anxious.
Fortunately, the young prince brought fresh food over the day before yesterday.
The emperor ate all the yam porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl, wiped his hands, and said to Eunuch An: "Go and get me the letter written by Yang'er. The day before yesterday, you wasted your time with that old man Xie Xingteng. , it¡¯s hard to read the letter he wrote.¡±
Eunuch An immediately found Xiao Yeyang's letter.
The emperor opened it and read it carefully. After a while, his eyebrows jumped high: "The yams and tomatoes were actually grown by that girl."
As he said that, he paused and remembered the meal he had at Peach Blossom Temple before.
Don¡¯t tell me, it tastes really good.
Although they are all ordinary home-cooked meals, they still make him have some aftertaste.
"The Yan family came from a farming background, but they have not forgotten their origins. The work in this field feels more familiar than the old tricks in the imperial village."
The emperor continued to watch.
Xiao Yeyang recorded in detail the yield of yam per mu, as well as the decree issued by Yan Zhigao in Ningmen Mansion.
After reading the letter, the emperor felt much better and said to Eunuch An with a smile: "I was right about the person. This Yan Zhigao is really good at running the place. It was right to put him in Ningmen Pass. "
After being silent for a while, he sighed: "If all the officials in the DPRK were like him, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Thinking of the war in the north and the emptiness of the treasury, the emperor's face darkened again.
Liulichang had just been built not long ago. Although some money was made, it was not enough to support the soldiers' food and salary.
Gold mine
We still have to point to gold mines to make up for the emptiness in the national treasury.
Wu Jingyi has been ordered to search for it, but I wonder if he can find it?
?¡
Yan Mansion.
Since returning from Taohua Village, Daohua has not been out because she has to entertain Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan. She is not bored at all. She just looks forward to Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers returning home every day to tell her about the progress of their search for gold mines.
In the blink of an eye, October has entered, and the weather is getting colder day by day.
"I wonder if the third brother and the fourth brother will come back today?"
After Daohua gave them the winter clothes made by Yan Yunxi in the sewing room, she looked at the hanging flower door several times on the way back.
Wang Maner smiled and said: "During this period, the third and fourth masters will come back every two or three days. Girl, do you still miss them so much?"
Daohua gave her a blank look. Who missed them? She was just thinking about the gold mine, okay?
Immediately, he stretched out his hand to feel the coldness in the air, and sighed: "It may start to snow before long. If you can't find it again, it will be hard to find it later."
Suddenly, Yan Wenxiu¡¯s voice came from behind.
"Big sister!"
Daohua turned around and asked with a smile: "Brother, are you back?"
Yan Wenxiu nodded and followed Master Xiao for more than half a month. He looked calmer than before.
"Did you ask Uncle Zhixin to bring you some puppy?"
Daohua¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°Uncle Zhixin is here?¡±
Yan Wenxiu nodded: "I'm meeting my father in the front yard. He brought seven puppies that were just born. He said they were what you wanted, so I came over to ask."
Daohua was a little dazed: "Seven? Why did you bring so many? Where are they, let me go and see?"
Yan Wenxiu said with a smile: "No one at home knows how to keep a dog, so I just put it in the stable."
After hearing this, Daohua spoke to Yan Wenxiu, and then took Wang Maner to the stable. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
