Chapter 177
Lundeti had to set up a refugee camp outside the city for temporary resettlement.
After hearing about the refugees, Shen Tian immediately felt that this was a great opportunity to make a name for herself. She stood up and sat down when she saw the reward in the room. These days, the popularity of her royal family has been strong enough, and some things are even worse. Besides, now she is only the fifth Prince and concubine, with the crown prince and concubine as well as the eldest sister-in-law. Forget it, there's a long way to go. Some things will be urgent for a while. She thought for a moment and wrote a letter to the princess. She received a gift of thanks that afternoon.
Shen Tian touched his stomach and went to the front yard of the palace to see the king of Liang.
Today's King Liang is no longer the fifth prince whose mother died early and was bullied. Because of his success in rescuing the emperor, he was granted the title of Prince by Emperor Longde, and Shen Tian became a pro princess. Moreover, Shen Tian's eldest son has now been established as the prince's son, and her eldest daughter has been granted the title of Shujia princess. Although as the prince's eldest children, their brother and sister will get a reward sooner or later, they usually wait until after the age of ten. First, the possibility of a child's premature death after the age of 10 is very low. Second, it can save the imperial court some money. After all, these titles are not only good to hear, but also have the corresponding salary and treatment. The prince's son can earn 1400 liang of silver and 1000 yuan of rice every year. The salary of the princess is one thousand Liang and eight hundred yuan.
Even the eldest son of the crown prince is now supported by his parents. Shen Tian's twins have already got their own salary before they are one year old. How can they not make people feel hot? Not to mention the gold and silver treasure the emperor and empress gave Shen Tian and his wife, and the fact that Shen Tian was pregnant again made some small-minded princes and concubines irritated.
Fortunately, the husband and wife also understand the principle of "shooting birds in the head". After the injury of King Liang stabilized, they went back to King Liang's house to thank guests behind closed doors in the name of rest, which made it impossible for others to start.
Of course, the subsequent news comforted many people who were jealous of Shen Tian. Feng, Liang's concubine, also found out that she was two months pregnant.
Although they all have the meaning of seeing Shen Tian's jokes, the children of the common people can't compare with those of their own. The Empress Dowager and others in the palace just let the servants reward Shen Tian according to the rules. However, after hearing these two good news, Emperor Longde felt relieved. No matter what happens in the future, the fifth daughter-in-law has some blood and bones here. He is very satisfied with the fifth daughter-in-law who is able to give birth. Now he also gives Shen Tian a lot of things.
It's Feng's injustice. When the princess was pregnant, she was rewarded by the palace. How come now that she is pregnant, the palace is also rewarded by the princess? Fortunately, Shen Tian's power is growing day by day, and Feng's favor is not as good as before. Even if she has resentment, she only dares to mutter in her heart. Shen Tian naturally would not be stingy at such a time. She was asked to pick out some good things and send them to her. In addition, there were a hundred taels of gold and a bag of silver coins. After seeing the real gold and silver, Feng's anger was instantly calmed.
Compared with the silk and satin jewelry that the king of Liang rewarded, the real gold and silver ones were more popular with Feng. After all, she's not Shen Tian, the housekeeper. All the people in the house have to do something about it. She doesn't have a dowry, and she doesn't have help from her mother's family. How can she live without some money? For a moment, Feng felt that she was still the princess.
Liang Wang's injury is not serious, mainly because the remaining poison is difficult to clear, so although his injury has been scarred, his body is still very weak.
When Shen Tian came, Wang Liang's aide Xu Cheng was also there. Mr. Xu has a big beard, so there is nothing to avoid. The king of Liang met Shen Tian and said with a smile, "you're just in time. I'm discussing with Mr. Xu about setting up a porridge shed outside the city. It's said that elder brother, they use good japonica rice. I originally planned to use brown rice. Our family doesn't need silver, or we should use japonica rice as well? "
Shen Tian looks at Mr. Xu and says, "I don't know what Mr. Xu thinks?"
Mr. Xu felt his beard and said, "it's up to the Lord and the empress to decide this."
Mr. Xu is really very crafty. He has not made much contribution, but his shelf is getting bigger and bigger. Seeing that Xu Cheng was unreliable, Shen Tian didn't count on him. At the moment, he said with a smile, "is the king building the porridge shed to win the people's love, or to bid farewell to the king of Chu?" Liang Wang was stunned, then nodded and said, "naturally, the former is important, but can't you win a good reputation by cooking porridge with superior rice?"
Shen Tian said with a smile, "Wang Ye doesn't manage the house everyday. I don't know the price outside. Now on the market one or two silver can buy a stone, ordinary japonica rice can buy two stone brown rice, and superior japonica rice is one or two silver one stone. The common people usually eat brown rice, after all, they can save half of their money. According to the daily need of 200 stone rice to calculate, with brown rice porridge only 100 Liang silver, and with superior japonica rice is 200 Liang. It's not that I love silver. Those refugees from outside the city come here, and they only ask for food. If we use the same money to buy more rice for them, won't it benefit more people? "
If the king of liang thought about it, Xu Cheng twirled his beard and said, "the princess's account is rather loud, but the prince is a noble in heaven, and now he is the only prince among the princes. How can he be too petty?"
Shen Tian said with a sneer, "Sir, do you mean the princess is too mean?"
Xu Cheng twisted his white beard and said, "how dare you."
Seeing him like this, Shen Tian didn't bother to talk to him and said to the prince, "although the prince is now a prince, the most valuable one among the princes is his royal highness. Don't just look at how the king of Chu acts. You'd better look at his royal highness. "
After hearing this, the king of Liang, who was still hesitant, immediately called in the chief manager of the palace, "go and send someone to find out what kind of rice is used in the porridge shed set up by the crown princess this year?"
The manager replied, "the little one has already made it clear. The princess uses brown rice, but the rice porridge is thick enough to eat. Although the king of Chu and the king of Wei used superior japonica rice, it was extremely rare and there were not many grains of rice. The refugees who received rice porridge complained a lot
After hearing this, the king of Liang took a look at Shen Tian and told the general pipeline, "in this case, if you go to arrange the porridge shed yourself, you can do it according to the porridge shed of the crown princess, and you don't need any superior rice. But rice porridge must be thicker, and bad rice, moldy rice, etc. are not allowed to be used to make up for it. "
The manager promised not to mention it. Xu Chengjian had come to this point, so he left.
