There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Royal Palace.

After the early imperial court was over, the emperor scolded the minister of households severely in the Qianqing Palace, and ordered him to collect the food and salaries of the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang within half a month, otherwise he would be dismissed and investigated.

When the Minister of the Ministry of Housing came out, his legs were shaking.

The Minister of the Ministry of War originally wanted to come to urge the salary, but it can be seen that the Minister of the Ministry of Household looked like this, and turned back very wisely.

In the main hall, the emperor was full of anger, and ordered Lei Yan, the leader of Jin Lingwei, who was kneeling on the ground: "The Jiangnan tax has not been turned in for a long time, and it has nothing to do with the old man, you immediately bring someone over and check it out. "

Lei Yan: "Being in a humble position."

The emperor narrowed his eyes, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Remember, this time I must find out the henchmen of the old eighth."

After Lei Yan left, the emperor looked at Eunuch An who had been an invisible man in the corner: "Go and call Wei Qi in."

Eunuch An responded quickly, "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 solemnly: "The situation in the northern border is getting more and more unstable, and the food and salaries must be collected. You go to the Liuli Factory in person and ask Fei Yu to send the money from selling Liuli in the past two months. The Ministry of War will go to the rescue."

Wei Qi: "My subordinates will do it right away."

The emperor nodded, and when Wei Qi left, he reached out and rubbed his temples.

Fortunately, the Liuli Factory was built, the sales of Liuli were good, and some money was made. Otherwise, the national treasury would not be able to get the food and wages of the soldiers in the northern Xinjiang this time.

Seeing that the emperor's brows could not hide his exhaustion, Eunuch An thought about it, and carefully stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, you haven't eaten anything since the early morning. The imperial kitchen made yam porridge, and the yam was just delivered by the little prince. Come, the servant will bring you a bowl to taste?"

The northern border is unstable, Duan Wang is about to move, and the Jiang family is constantly restraining. All these annoy the emperor, and he has no appetite at all. However, I heard that Xiao Yeyang specially sent it. After thinking about it, he said: "Bring a bowl."

Eunuch An's face was overjoyed, he immediately trotted back, went to serve it himself, and soon came over with yam porridge: "Your Majesty, try it now, this servant smells delicious."

Seeing that the yam porridge looked really good, the emperor took a sip. After tasting it, a smile appeared on his face: "The taste is really good, Yang'er has a heart."

An Gonggong said with a smile, "Isn't that true? To say that this little prince is really filial. Since I went to Zhongzhou, every time I encounter a good meal, I will send some to Beijing. Please try it."

Hearing this, the emperor smiled more: "This yam is good, remember to send some to Prince Ping's residence. By the way, did Yang'er also send a carload of red fruits?"

Eunuch An nodded: "Yes, if the little prince said that the red fruit can be eaten, the servants would not believe it." The red fruit is also used in the palace, but they are all used as bonsai.

"The people in the imperial kitchen made a few dishes according to the recipe given by the little prince. The servants tried the dishes, and they tasted really good. Your Majesty, when we have lunch later, why don't we serve a few dishes made of red fruits? ?"

The emperor was interested: "Okay, I will eat red fruit at noon today. No, let's make a dish made of tomatoes."

When Eunuch An saw that the emperor had eaten more than half of the bowl of yam porridge, he breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, because of state affairs, the emperor's appetite has not been very good.

Fortunately, the little prince brought fresh food the day before yesterday.

The emperor ate the yam porridge in the bowl, put down the bowl, wiped his hands, and said to Eunuch An: "Go and bring me the letter written by Yang'er, the old man who patronized and Xie Xingteng the day before yesterday wasted his time. , it's hard to read the letter he wrote."

An Gong Gong immediately found Xiao Yeyang's letter.

The emperor opened it and read it carefully, and after a while his eyebrows jumped up high: "Yam and tomatoes are actually grown by that girl."

After speaking, he paused and remembered the meals he had eaten at Taohua An before.

Not to mention, it tastes really good.

Although it was some ordinary home-cooked meals, he still had some aftertastes.

"This Yan Jiageng reads his background, but he didn't forget his roots. The work in this field is more familiar than the old-fashioned feeling in Huangzhuang."

The emperor continued to watch.

Xiao Yeyang recorded in detail the yield of yam per mu and the decree issued by Yan Zhigao in Ningmen House.

After reading the letter, the emperor's mood improved a lot, he smiled and said to Eunuch An: "I didn't see the wrong person, this Yan Zhigao is really good at managing the place, and putting him in Ningmenguan is right. already."

After a while of silence, he sighed, "If all the officials in the DPRK and China 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 sank again.

The Liulichang had just been built, and although it made some money, it was not enough to support the soldiers' salaries.

gold mine

Still have to point to the gold mines to make up for the emptiness of the treasury.

Wu Jingyi has already been ordered to look for it, but I don't know if he can find it?

Yan House.

After returning from Taohua Village, Daohua never went out, because she was entertaining Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan, so she was not bored, but she looked forward to Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers returning to the house every day and told her about the progress of their search for the gold mine.

In the blink of an eye, it was October, and the weather was getting colder day by day.

"I don't know if the third and fourth brothers will come back today?"

After Daohua sent them the winter clothes made by the sewing room for Yan Yunxi and the two, on the way back, she frequently looked at the hanging flower door several times.

Wang Man'er smiled and said, "The third and fourth masters will come back every two or three days during this time, girl, do you still miss them so much?"

Daohua rolled her eyes at her, who missed them, she was just thinking about the gold mine?

Immediately, he stretched out his hand to sense the chill in the air, and sighed, "It may snow in a short time. If I can't find it again, it will be even more tiring 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 studied with Master Xiao for more than half a month. He seemed more calm and confident 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 talking to my father, second uncle, and third uncle in the front yard. He brought seven puppies that were just born and said that you want it, so I'll come and ask."

Daohua was a little stunned: "Seven? Why do you bring so many? Where are you, I'll take a look?"

Yan Wenxiu smiled and said, "No one can keep a dog at home, so I put it on the stable side and let the stable boy take care of it."

After hearing this, Daohua and Yan Wenxiu said a word, and then took Wang Man'er to the stable.
