Jin Feng hurriedly pulled up the quilt and covered the ninth princess.
"I grew up with Zhuerqiner, what should I avoid?"
The Ninth Princess covered her mouth and smiled.
In order to prevent being assassinated, or to make it easier to order people, in the feudal era the palace and some powerful families did not shy away from having servants in the same room.
As the personal maid of the Ninth Princess, Pearl naturally does the same.
On the wedding day of Ninth Princess and Jin Feng, Qin'er and Zhu'er were placed at the head and end of the bed, just like the two door gods.
Jin Feng felt uncomfortable and drove them away.
However, the two of them did not dare to go too far. Instead, they stayed at the door of the room all night, unable to drive them away.
For this matter, Jin Feng protested several times to the Ninth Princess. The Ninth Princess didn't say anything, but by that time Qin'er had become familiar with Jin Feng and figured out Jin Feng's character, so she took Zhu'er with her.
Find Jin Feng and say that they are thinking about the safety of the Ninth Princess, and advise Jin Feng not to meddle in other people's affairs.
He also secretly threatened Jin Feng and wanted to discuss with Jin Feng.
For the safety of the Ninth Princess, Jin Feng followed his inner choice, but asked to create another room next to the bedroom so that Pearl could rest in the next room. Bayi Chinese website
"If you don't shy away, you still have me!"
Jin Feng angrily pulled up the quilt and wrapped himself up.
When the Ninth Princess saw this, she smiled so much that her eyes rolled up.
In the tradition of Dakang, a lady's personal maid is basically a dowry and a bed-warming maid.
The Ninth Princess grew up in the palace, and this idea became even more ingrained.
Unfortunately, Jin Feng was too conservative in his thinking and never touched Qin'er and Zhu'er. He even made the decision to betroth Qin'er to Niu Ben.
Yes, in Ninth Princess' view, Jin Feng's thoughts are too conservative.
Seeing Jin Feng hurriedly pulling up the quilt, the Ninth Princess suddenly found it very interesting.
Pearl didn't sleep, but after waiting for a while, she opened the door and came in. She lowered her head and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"Go to the study and get Wei Datong's memorial."
"yes!"
Pearl withdrew and went to look for the memorial.
The Ninth Princess got into Jin Feng's arms again and asked, "I heard that you met Qin'er?"
"Well," Jin Feng nodded: "Xiaorou met her in Jiuliangou. If it hadn't been for her, Xiaorou might have been in danger."
"This damn girl, ever since you betrothed her to Niu Ben, your heart has become wild, and you won't come to see me when you come back!"
The ninth princess complained.
Qin'er was a talented person, and Jin Feng felt that it was a bit unfair to tie her to the Ninth Princess. After talking with Qin'er, he asked Zhang Liang to arrange for her to be assigned to the reconnaissance camp as the captain of the female reconnaissance company.
After returning to Jinchuan, Qin'er did not come back with Jin Feng. Instead, she stayed with her company and did not even take the initiative to see the Ninth Princess.
Although Qin'er's identity is a maid, after all, she grew up with the Ninth Princess and once saved the Ninth Princess's life. The Ninth Princess has great feelings for Qin'er.
However, due to the pride of the empress, the Ninth Princess could not take the initiative to see Qin'er, and would not even show her feelings for Qin'er to outsiders, so she would complain in front of Jin Feng.
"Qin'er may be a little worried about you blaming her. It may get better after a while," Jin Feng comforted.
"Since you were afraid of being blamed, you shouldn't have left without saying goodbye!"
The Ninth Princess snorted coldly, and then asked: "Is there any news about that wild bull?"
She was angry, but Princess Ninth was still concerned about Qin'er's situation.
"No," Jin Feng also sighed.
After Qin'er left, Niu Ben also resigned and left Jinchuan to look for Qin'er.
At first there was news about Niuben, but as the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce was suppressed in other places, there was gradually no news about Niuben.
Now Qin'er is back, but Niu Ben has disappeared.
"I will ask Chen Wenyuan to report Qin'er in the newspaper later. If Man Niu finds out, he will definitely come back," Jin Feng said.
"Okay," Ninth Princess nodded.
Pearl knocked on the door, came over with a memorial, and put it beside the bed.
After Zhuer left, Jin Feng got off the bed and picked up the memorial.
Wei Datong introduced the construction progress of Dujiangyan in detail in the memorial.
Because of Jin Feng's full support, the main project of Dujiangyan has basically been completed. However, if we want to comprehensively improve the water conservancy situation in Sichuan and Sichuan, Dujiangyan alone is not enough.
Dujiangyan only diverts the water from the Jinma River to the east side of Yulei Mountain. If you want the river to flow across the Sichuan-Sichuan Plain, various canals need to be built.
This project is actually larger than the construction of Dujiangyan, and the progress is relatively slow.
The main purpose of Wei Datong's memorial was to ask the court to increase financial support for Dujiangyan. However, he also knew that Jin Feng was fighting in the north recently and the court spent too much money, so he did not make it too obvious.
The Ninth Princess had helped Chen Ji correct the memorial a long time ago, and she naturally saw the true intention of Wei Datong's memorial. However, the government's finances were really tight, so they did not give instructions. Instead, they waited until Jin Feng came back and let Jin Feng make his decision.
Not understanding the memorial is just an excuse.
After reading the memorial, Jin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "You will give Wei Datong an approval tomorrow and let him continue to work freely. The imperial court will fully support him!"
"Husband, the imperial court doesn't have much money..." Ninth Princess reminded with a frown.
Although the wages of the work-for-relief program are very low, barely allowing the people to have enough food and clothing, the number of people mobilized is too great.
The food that was snatched from the hands of the rich and powerful is now almost used up.
If we continue to maintain such a large-scale work-for-relief program, the government will need to provide money and food.
"Isn't there a family of grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River? If you run out of grain, just ask them for it!" Jin Feng said coldly.
The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is humid and the temperature is high, which is suitable for growing grains and is rich in grains.
The so-called grain merchant families are representatives of a group of wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River.
Their ancestors had all been high-ranking officials, or when Chen Ji was in power, some of their family members were officials. They then used various means to occupy people's land and hoard food in Jiangnan.
The year before last, when Tang Xiaobei was collecting grain in Jiangnan, these people deliberately raised the price to embarrass Tang Xiaobei. Jin Feng had long wanted to deal with them, but there were too many things last year, and he had no plans to use troops against Jiangnan for the time being.
Pay attention to these people.
Now that there is a shortage of food, Jin Feng thinks of them again.
"Husband, do you mean to requisition?" asked the Ninth Princess.
Although those families do everything possible to occupy people's land, on the surface, they are basically scholarly families, and they will also do good deeds to build bridges and pave roads to win people's hearts.
In the feudal era, this kind of family was highly respected, and the Ninth Princess did not want to touch them if it was not necessary.
"Requisition for what?" Jin Feng said: "You should know where their grain depots are, right? Follow your previous method, just send people to seize their grain depots, and then transport the grain back!"
Jin Feng felt sorry for the common people, but not for these wealthy gentry.
Requisition requires advance notice. What if a wealthy gentry transfers the grain in advance?
