Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

When relatives get together, there are naturally countless things to say. But the old man and the others are old after all, and they are tired from traveling all the way, so they can't support it. Just as Li Mingrui got up to go back to the palace, everyone hurriedly went to see him off. After Li Mingrui left, the old lady said she was sleepy and everyone should rest early.

Of course Wenhan and the others went home separately, and it would be the same if they had anything to say later.

Jinghan came out to see Jingya, Xiuyun and the others off, and Mingyu happened to be beside her and said, "Second sister, my eldest brother asked you to take some time to go to the palace and ask you about the situation in Zhendong."

Jinghan nodded, "I understand, I'll go tomorrow."

The next day, Jinghan changed into the princess's clothes, and then accompanied by Mingyu, went into the palace to meet the emperor. In fact, there is not much to say, it is nothing more than what the couple saw and heard in Zhendong, and the results of the past two years of hard work.

"Originally, women shouldn't get involved in these matters, and I shouldn't ask you. However, everyone understands that these measures are all the result of Ning An. Instead of reading the memorial of Lin Qing's family, it is better to listen to Ning An. An's words are better, right?" Li Mingrui looked at Jinghan with a smile, but he was filled with admiration. Being able to achieve these results in just two years is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

"Thank you for your compliments, Your Majesty. I don't dare. I'm just sharing your husband's worries and solving your Majesty's problems. It's not much credit." Jinghan said quickly.

Li Mingrui looked at the woman in front of him. After getting married and having children, Jinghan was still bright and charming, but she seemed much calmer than before. "Lin Qing's family is doing very well there. I was right about him. They only exempted and exempted taxes for two years. Isn't it a little less? How about exempting them for another two years?" Anyway, this place is not the imperial court in the first place. Yes, even if they are all waived, the loss will not be much.

Jinghan smiled, "Your Majesty, no need. Two years of tax exemption is enough. People are not satisfied. If the tax exemption lasts too long, these people will feel uncomfortable when the taxes are collected in the future. We didn't all collect taxes in the past. Is it true? Since it can be waived for the first few years, why can’t it be waived all the time? If this kind of grace is given occasionally, the people will remember the benefits of the court, and the people will become accustomed to it in the future. On the contrary, there will be trouble. "Two years of exemption is already the limit. If it is more, you will not be able to collect taxes in the future.

"Your Majesty, what I am doing in Zhendong is just to teach the local people to create wealth with their own hands. It is actually a very good place, but some innate conditions restrict its development, so it will be very good. Poor people. When the people understand that there is wealth everywhere, the people will be able to live a good life even if my sister and husband are not there in the future. Nothing is better than relying on their own. It is practical to make money with both hands. If the people always think about the tax exemption from the government, they will be dependent on it. How many problems can be solved by just that amount of tax? "People still have to rely on themselves. .

"Yes, self-reliance and self-reliance are the foundation. If you always think about others helping, you will never achieve anything." Li Mingrui was very happy.

Jinghan started talking about the products there, the winter fishing soaked in the moon, the cranes soaked in the fragrant sea, etc. Both Li Mingrui brothers were fascinated.

Jinghan stayed in the palace for a while. Because she was thinking about Qingyuan in her heart, she said goodbye to the emperor and left the palace to go back to another courtyard. Mingyu naturally accompanied Jinghan and sent Jinghan back all the way.

The emperor was left sitting alone in the deserted imperial study, staring blankly into the distance. Lin Zixuan, Lin Zixuan, do you know how lucky you are to be loved wholeheartedly by such a woman?

There were less than ten days left before Jingxian's wedding day, and everyone had rested, so Xue and the others said they wanted to go out for a walk. Let’s look and buy something to add makeup to Jingxian.

Jingya and Jingwan led these women to shop on the most prosperous street in the capital. Jinghan has never been to the capital, no, it should be said that her soul has been here, but she has been with Zixuan in the prison for three days, so she is also very curious about the capital. Everyone went shopping and bought things.

They say women are money-spending animals, and it’s true. When these women see something good, they buy it regardless of whether it is expensive or not. Fortunately, in the past few years, the Xu family has been living a good life, and they can afford these things. Jingya and Jingwan were nearby helping to negotiate the price, and they were very busy for a while.

It happened that everyone came to a jewelry shop, and Ms. It’s a good time to hold up the scene.”

Of course everyone agreed to this, so we walked into the shop together. Unexpectedly, several people in the shop went out, and everyone bumped into each other.

A woman on the opposite side saw Jingya and Jingwan and said, "Hey, I wonder who it is? It turns out to be the wife of Academician Yue, and the wife of Commander Qi. What happened today? What happened to this? Many people are out shopping, a bunch of country ladies, can you afford the things here?”

When Jingya looked at this woman, her expression was a little bad, "Miss Mo San, you don't need to worry about whether we can afford it or not. Miss Mo, you should go visit your cousin when you have time. I heard that she is far away." Married? If you marry someone from a remote country like yours, you have to be careful."

When Miss Mo San heard this, her eyes immediately widened, "I'm not that shameless vixen of your Xu family. If she hadn't dragged my cousin into the water, how could my cousin have gotten married so far away?"

Jinghan listened nearby and probably understood a little bit. She thought that the cousin they were talking about was the girl who pushed Jingxian into the water. "I thought that all the women in the capital were well-educated ladies, but I have never seen such a vixen? Is this what a girl from a good family should say? Sister, I don't know where this is. The lady of the family? It's really eye-opening. "Jinghan doesn't care about that, no matter who she is, she won't be spared if she dares to talk about it.

Jingya cooperated well, "Second sister, you don't know, this is not an ordinary lady. She is the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and the niece of Concubine Xian."

Jinghan burst out laughing, "Oh my god, is this person the niece of Concubine Xian? Sister, are you not mistaken? Cough cough cough." Jinghan pretended to cough.

"Of course I'm right. Have you seen the whip in her hand? No one in the capital doesn't know this. The third lady of General Mo's family carries a whip in her hand all day long. This is her signature ." Jingya was very tired of the woman in front of her. She didn't know why the Mo family always targeted the Xu family. There were several gatherings of ladies in the capital, and the Mo family opened fire on the Xu family inexplicably, which made Jingya feel very suffocated.

"I heard that someone messed with the third lady of the Mo family, and she slapped her face with a whip. The third lady of the Mo family is known to everyone in the capital," Jingwan next to her also said. .

This was originally the most prosperous street in the capital, and people were coming and going. As soon as they saw people gathering here, they gathered around to watch the excitement. As soon as everyone heard this, they couldn't help but point at Miss Mo's third daughter, and some people couldn't help but shake their heads.

Now, the third young lady of the Mo family is no longer doing this. Today she went shopping with a few girls she got along well with, including her fiancé's girl. In front of so many people, being told this by people she thought were born with mud-legged backgrounds, and having people point fingers at her, she couldn't stand it.

"Get out of here, I won't allow you to enter this shop today. A group of country bumpkins, even if they are wearing silk and satin, can't stop themselves from being rustic and rustic." Miss Mo San said angrily. .

Jinghan looked carefully at the girl in front of her. She was not bad looking. She was dressed in red and looked very neat. He held a whip in his hand, and it looked like he had some skills. "Miss Mo San, you take your Yangguan Road, and I'll cross my single-plank bridge. Which shop we fall in love with, do we still need your permission? Is it possible that this shop belongs to your family? Even if it belongs to your family, there is no Isn’t it the right thing to do to kick out the guests who come to your door?”

Miss Mo San was probably used to running rampant in the capital, and few people contradicted her like this. When Jinghan said this, she immediately became angry. "Where did you come from, a country woman who dared to talk to me like this? Get out of here, or I'll make your face bloom." With that, he waved the whip in his hand and headed towards Jinghan. .

Jinghan pushed Jingya and Jingwan away, and then grabbed the whip, "How can a girl like you be so good at whipping a whip at every turn? You are still a lady, not even as good as a country girl. I advise you to hurry up. Put this piece of shit away, don’t be embarrassed here.”

When Miss Mo San saw that the other end of the whip was grabbed by Jinghan, she pulled it back hard, but it didn't twitch, and her face turned red with anger. "Hurry up and let go, or I won't be polite." As he spoke, he exerted another effort.

Jinghan smiled and loosened her grip on the whip, just as Miss Mo San was working hard there. At this moment, Miss Mo San took two steps back and sat directly on the ground. This sitting was quite sincere, and Miss Mo San felt a pain in her tailbone.

"Damn it, you dare to harm me, let's see if I don't beat you to death." Miss Mo San's face became even more ugly now, with turns green and red. Enduring the pain, he stood up and swung his whip towards Jinghan. He also said, "Hongxiu, Luyi, if you two don't hurry up, someone is bullying me."
