Before the family left the city, they met Feng Lin. What surprised Liu Ye even more was that there was a carriage next to Feng Lin.
Seeing that the driver was Feng Hu, Feng Lin quickly walked over and said with a smile: "Cousin, cousins, are you going to Zhuangwang Village?"
Xiao Jichen lifted the car curtain and said quietly: "Didn't you know that we were going to Zhuangwang Village, so you followed us?"
Feng Lin said with a smile: "My cousin guessed wrong this time. I wasn't going out for a walk, but I met Miss Luo. Miss Luo was going to Zhuangzi outside the city. She didn't want to go all the way to Zhuangwang Village.
Look, after all, you didn’t entrust me with the affairs of Zhuangwang Village. I didn’t expect to meet my cousin today.”
Xiao Jichen looked through him at the carriage on the side, his eyes became dark, and then he said: "Since my cousin is so free, how about doing something for me?"
Feng Lin fanned the fan in his hand and asked, "What does my cousin want from me?"
"That master of hidden weapons that Senior Brother Bai mentioned, find a way to get him to come to Beijing!"
The smile at the corner of Feng Lin's mouth froze for a moment, and he clapped his fan twice in his hands before saying: "Cousin, this task is a bit difficult. Not to mention me, even if Bai Xuxi exchanged his previous kindness, the other party would not
Will come."
Xiao Jichen took out a few pieces of paper from his Qiankun bag, handed them to him and said, "You use this!"
Feng Lin glanced at Xiao Jichen, and then took it over to take a look. It turned out to be a manuscript of hidden weapons. Mr. Jiang has a weird temper. He doesn't give face to anyone. He only likes hidden weapons. If these manuscripts of hidden weapons are used as stepping stones, there must be no problem.
.
The smile on Feng Lin's face had just risen when she heard Xiao Jichen say: "You go now. If this doesn't work, don't expect me to teach you kung fu next time!"
Feng Lin suddenly felt that his cousin was becoming more and more unlovable, and he actually threatened him!
But he still nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go right away!" As he said that, he drove the horse forward. However, the horse walked to the carriage in front, slowed down, and then said a few words to the people in the carriage, and then quickly
leave.
Liu Ye could feel the changes in Xiao Jichen's body. Seeing that Xiao Jichen had been looking at the carriage outside, he couldn't help but look at it, and then asked: "Is there something wrong with the person in the carriage?"
Otherwise, how could the young husband send his cousin away!
It would take four days to go and find Mr. Jiang. When Feng Lin comes back, ambassadors from various countries will also come to Beijing.
On the way out of the palace, the young Xianggong said that the task of arranging ambassadors from various countries was handed over to the young Xianggong, Xiao Jinsheng and his cousin were in charge, and the censor who patrolled the city was assisting.
By then, he will be busy!
"Well! Luo Yuxuan, the daughter of General Luo, whose true identity is unknown. But in the last life, she also married her cousin, but in the end the Feng family was poisoned and captured. She has something to do with it, otherwise my cousin would not have almost gone crazy! So!
, this time, my cousin can marry anyone, but he cannot marry Luo Yuxuan!" Xiao Jichen said coldly.
Since the little husband said so, it is definitely not wrong!
Just before my cousin left, he said hello to me. It seemed that his good impression was not as strong as usual. Liu Ye frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can stifle my cousin's flames?"
"If you can't pinch her, you have to pinch her! I won't let my cousin have time and energy to think about her." Xiao Jichen said with a smile.
Moreover, with so many disciples from aristocratic families in the capital, it is still very easy to deal with a woman who has not left the court!
But Liu Ye lit a candle for Feng Lin in her heart. Feng Lin's life would be very hard in the days to come!
When Luo Yuxuan heard that Feng Lin had something to say and said goodbye, she looked at his back and tightened the embroidered handkerchief in her hand.
She found out that Feng Lin might be out of the house today, so she met him by chance. Unexpectedly, she just said a few words and the other party left!
But she was also very satisfied. Who didn't know that Mr. Feng was arrogant and seemed elegant and approachable, but he had never been too close to anyone. Like today, meeting him and talking to him all the way was already a good start.
In Zhuangwang Village, Wang Li was leading everyone to hoe the fields. When he saw Xiao Jichen and Liu Ye approaching, he hurried over to salute.
"No need to be polite, everyone, please get up!" Xiao Jichen said.
Wang Lizheng stood up and thought to himself, he asked why the emperor gave the land to them and his wife to manage. It turned out that their status was so noble. Fortunately, they didn't offend him at first, but now they are more respectful.
"The emperor's grandson, the grandson's concubine, why are you here?"
"Wang Lizheng, how is the emergence rate of corn?" Liu Ye asked with a smile.
"Back to Concubine Taisun, when we were planting corn, it didn't rain. After planting, everyone carried water for irrigation, but 30% of the corn still didn't come out. Moreover, there was a drought, and there was not much water in the river ditches.
Now is the time for seedlings to grow, and I don’t know when God will rain!”
Xiao Jichen looked at the fields in the distance. Under the blazing heat of the sun, the corn seedlings looked listless, just like the common people at this moment, with sad faces.
"It rains in the summer as soon as it comes. Wang Lizheng, please find someone to dig the ditch deeper so that more water can be stored in case of rain. By the way, don't be still hoeing at noon in the future. In the morning
Everyone gets up early to weed and loosen the soil, and when the work is over, we let everyone rest. We don’t go out to work after three quarters in the afternoon, otherwise, what should we do if we get heatstroke?"
"Yes, Grand Concubine!"
"By the way, when watering the ground from now on, do it after the sun goes down."
"yes!"
"There are also chickens, ducks and geese. Remember to let them go for a walk every day to different places. It's okay to eat a few corn leaves!" Liu Ye explained again before getting on the carriage and leaving.
It's too hot outside, but luckily there's ice on the carriage, so it's better!
Liu Ye looked at the people outside carrying hoes and preparing to go home, frowned and said: "Ji Chen, can you ask the emperor's grandfather to exempt the summer tax!"
With tax exemption, even if there is an insect disaster, everyone will still have food to eat and won't go hungry!
Xiao Jichen shook his head, held Liu Ye in his arms, and said softly: "I know you feel sorry for them, let alone the counties that have begun to collect taxes one after another. Even if they don't, my grandfather can't give this order. Farmers have
If you get food, you will be grateful in your heart, but more farmers will turn the food in their hands into money. When there is a pest disaster, the family has no food, and they place their hope on the court. But the court has no tax revenue, how to subsidize them?
You may not know that during the past few years of war, Dachang actually doesn’t have much food reserves. If we can’t subsidize them, it may cause famine and riots, which is even worse for Dachang!”
Liu Ye thought for a while, but she thought too narrowly! This era is no better than modern times, with advanced technology, high productivity, and strong national reserves, which can freely provide various tax-free benefits to the people.
Thinking of this, he said: "Ji Chen, please give me the domain map of Dachang and the domain map of Dongao Kingdom later. I want the details."
Xiao Jichen thought for a while, looked at Liu Ye faintly, and said: "I'm afraid I have to ask Nalan Chengze for the detailed territory map of Dongao Country!"
The territory map of each country is extremely confidential. Even if Dachang has it, it is not as detailed as the Nalan family. After all, Nalan's business is spread all over Dongao Country, and the territory map is more detailed.
And don’t think that he doesn’t know that his wife went behind his back and asked Qiu Ju to send a message to Nalan Chengze to ask him to meet!
