Chapter 420, The Treasury is Empty

The Royal Palace.

After the early dynasty, the emperor severely scolded the household secretary in the Palace of the Qing Dynasty, and ordered him to raise the salaries of the soldiers of Qi Beijiang within half a month, otherwise the investigation would be dismissed.

When Hubu Shangshu came out, both legs were shaking.

Bingbu Shangshu originally wanted to come to urge the payment. It can be seen that Hubu Shangshu looked like this, and he transferred it back very sensibly.

In the main hall, the emperor was full of anger, and told Lei Yan, the leader of Jin Lingwei who was kneeling on the ground,: "The Jiangnan tax and silver have not been turned in for a long time. You can't get rid of the relationship with the old man. You will immediately bring someone to me to find out. "

Lei Yan: "The humble duty leads."

The emperor squinted his eyes, and the killing intent flashed in his eyes: "Remember, this time I must get the old bachelor's party feathers out for me."

After Lei Yan left, the emperor looked at the invisible man in the corner: "Go and call Wei Qi in."

An public father quickly responded: "Yes." As he said, he bent his body and exited the hall, and after a while, he led Wei Qi in.

The emperor looked at Wei Qi, and said solemnly: "The situation in northern Xinjiang is getting more and more unstable. You must raise all the food and drink. You can go to the Liuli Factory in person and ask Fei Yu to deliver the silver from the two-month sales of colored glaze. The Ministry of War is going to rescue the emergency."

Wei Qi: "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 I made some money. Otherwise, the national treasury would not be able to get the food and salaries of the soldiers in northern Xinjiang this time.

Seeing that the emperor’s eyebrows couldn’t hide his fatigue, he thought about it and asked carefully, "The emperor, you haven’t eaten anything from the early dynasty to the present. The Imperial Kitchen made yam porridge. Come, the minion will bring you a bowl to taste?"

The northern border was unstable, the King Duan was about to move, and the Jiang family kept shackling on the side. All of these made the emperor very annoying, and there was no appetite at all. However, I heard that Xiao Yeyang sent it specially, thinking about it, and saying: "Come with a bowl."

The father-in-law looked happy, and immediately ran back and went to serve it in person. Soon, he came over with the yam porridge: "Emperor, try it soon, the minion smells the fragrance."

The emperor saw that the yam porridge looks really good, so he took a bite. After the tasting, a smile appeared on his face: "The taste is really good, Yang'er is interested."

An Gonggong Li Ma laughed and said, “Isn’t it? I want to say that this little prince is really filial. Since I went to Zhongzhou, whenever I met a good meal, I would send some to Beijing. Please try it.”

Hearing this, the emperor’s face increased with a smile: "This yam is good, remember to send some to Prince Ping’s Mansion. By the way, did Yang'er also give a car of red fruits?"

President An nodded: "Yes, if it weren't for the little prince who said that red fruits are edible, the minions would not believe it." They are also used in the Hongguo Palace, but they are all used as bonsai.

"The people in the imperial dining room cooked a few dishes according to the recipe given by the little prince. The minion went to try the dishes, and the taste was really good, the emperor, when we wait for lunch later, we will serve some dishes made with red fruits. ?"

The emperor came up with interest: "Okay, I will eat red fruits at noon today. No, let's do the dishes made with tomatoes."

Seeing that the emperor had already eaten half a bowl of yam porridge, the father-in-law of An breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to state affairs during this period, the emperor’s appetite has not been very good. He ate very little at every meal, and everyone lost a circle, but he was too anxious.

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

The emperor ate the yam porridge in the bowl, put the bowl down, wiped his hands, and said to Mr. An, "Go and bring me the letter written by Yang'er. I was patronizing the old man Xie Xingteng the day before yesterday. , I didn’t read the letter he wrote."

An public official found Xiao Yeyang’s letter.

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

Speaking, after a pause, I remembered the meals I used in Taohua Temple.

Don't say it, the taste is really good.

Although they are some ordinary home-cooked meals, he still has some aftertastes even now.

"This Yan Jiageng has not forgotten his roots. The work in this field is more familiar than the old-fashioned feeling in the imperial village."

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 Mansion.

After reading the letter, the emperor’s mood improved a lot, and he smiled and said to Father An, "I didn’t read the wrong person. This Yan Zhigao is really good at managing the place. Putting him at Ningmen Pass is right. NS."

was silent for a while, and sighed: "If North Korean officials are like him, I don't need to worry as much."

Thinking of the war in the north and the emptiness of the treasury, the emperor's face sank again.

Liuli factory was just established, although it has made some money, it is not enough to support the soldiers' salary.

Gold Mine

still have to point to the gold mine to make up for the emptiness of the treasury.

Wu Jingyi has already led the search, and I don’t know if I can find it.

Yan House.

After returning from Taohua Village, Daohua hadn't been out because she wanted to entertain Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan, she didn't feel bored, but every day she looked forward to Xiao Yeyang and her two brothers returning home to tell her the progress of finding gold mines.

In a blink of an eye, it’s October, and the weather is getting colder day by day.

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

After Daohua sent the winter clothes made by Yan Yunxi in the sewing room to them, on the way back, she frequently visited Suihuamen several times.

Wang Man'er smiled and said: "During this period of time, the third master and the fourth master will come back every two or three days. Girl, do you still miss them so much?"

Daohua gave her a glance, who missed them, she just wondered if the gold mine was good?

Immediately, he stretched out his hand to feel the cold in the air, and sighed: "It may be snowing before long. If you can't find it anymore, it will be even more tiring to find it later."

Suddenly, Yan Wenxiu's voice came from behind.

"Big sister!"

Daohua turned her head and smiled and asked, "Brother, are you back?"

Yan Wenxiu nodded, and after studying with Master Xiao for more than half a month, he looked more calm and confident than before.

"Did you ask Uncle Zhixin to pick up a puppy for you?"

Daohua's eyes lit up: "A letter to uncle is here?"

Yan Wenxiu nodded: “I’m talking to my father, second uncle, and third uncle in the front yard. He brought seven puppies who were just born not long ago and said it was what you wanted, so I’ll come and ask.”

Daohua was a little dazed: "Seven? How do you bring so many? Where, let me see?"

Yan Wenxiu smiled and said, “No one in the house knows how to keep a dog, 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, and then took Wang Man'er to the stable.
