"You all know that saving is a good thing," Qi Xiuyuan didn't stingy with his own praise. Seeing that the five children were staring at him, he reached out and touched the tiger's head with the worst image, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's just children fighting, This time, Uncle Huang will not punish you, but next time, you can't do it without any hassle."

Eunuch Wan came in cautiously, bowed his head and stood below and said, "Your Excellency, Mrs. Anlehou brought her son outside the palace to ask for a meeting, saying that she came to apologize to His Royal Highness and several sons."

Qi Xiuyuan's smile remained unchanged, and he asked, "Is there only the Marquis of Anle?"

"Yes."

Qi Xiuyuan waved his hand and said, "Go and tell her, this is just a fight between children, and it's not a serious matter, let her take the child back, don't scare the child, take some medicinal herbs from the warehouse for them to take back, and press the child. Shocked."

Eunuch Wan responded and retired respectfully.

Xu asked someone to take the things in the little eunuch's hand and stuffed a purse into the other party's pocket. After confirming that the emperor was not in a rage, he breathed a sigh of relief and carried the neatly dressed Qi Yue to the carriage.

The little **** swept across Qi Yue's body. Seeing that he was cleanly dressed and had bruises on his face, it was not serious. He knew that he had been taken care of, and nodded secretly in his heart, sending Mrs Xu away. Then report to the palace.

Eunuch Wan nodded slightly and went in to talk to the emperor.

After a while, I heard the emperor say: "I see, you should step back."

Eunuch Wan didn't dare to lift his head, so he stepped back respectfully, and when he walked to the door, he heard Anguo's justice: "Xu's is quite smart, but it's a pity..."

Eunuch Wan closed the door, and the voice in the hall could not be heard at once.

Qi Haoran puzzled: "What's her pity? A Ling said that Mrs. Xu was a good person, and she didn't like her."

Fan Zijin laughed out loud and asked, "Does A Ling like Xiao Wu?"

Qi Haoran suddenly looked ugly when he thought of the person who was irrational and wanted to stir up three points.

"That's it. Although Mrs. Xu is annoying, she knows the current affairs and knows who is calculating and who can only hide. Xiao Wu," Fan Zijin pouted, "this person is hurt by being beaten, so she turned around. As soon as I forget the pain, I will come out and jump, and I will shoot and I will not die. It is really disgusting. I can see it by looking at the little things she raised. When I was just over three years old, I dared to call on the street to kill people, which shows how domineering he usually is. already."

Fan Zijin looked at Qi Xiuyuan and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you scare them again? Weren't they very honest before? They must have had too many good days recently and have forgotten their duty."

Qi Xiuyuan knew that he was angry because Qi Chong used his identity as a royal family member to do evil, so Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "I don't have that spare time, this time Xu's son was implicated by her, I don't believe that the two houses can live in peace with each other. Let the Xu family deal with the little Wu family."

The main reason is that Qi Xiuyuan is also disgusting little Wu, and he doesn't want to get involved with the other party.

Fan Zijin rolled his eyes, Qi Xiuyuan knew at a glance that he had a bad idea, he picked up a book beside the couch and smashed it, saying, "Do your errands well, leave these matters to the queen and the others, use You don't have to worry about it."

"Brother, am I going to the North when I return to Beijing this time?" Speaking of errands, Qi Haoran hurriedly asked about the arrangements for him.

"Just stay in the capital," Qi Xiuyuan said, "I plan to let Xu Shida, the commander of the Imperial Guard, go out, fill the vacant position, and give me a good practice of the Imperial Guard, and see if we can develop a new Weapons, my uncle wrote to say that the pirate ships in Fuzhou have good guns, which are very powerful. They have lost a series of battles recently. It was the second uncle who brought people to invite you to enter the urn and severely damaged them. The area around Fuzhou was much more peaceful. I think, since the cannons can be used in Naturally, the boat can also be used on land. I have already asked the two uncles to find a way to get a cannon, and you will discuss with the Ministry of Industry and see if you can study it."

Qi Xiuyuan sighed, "This time, the pirates are rampant, and the Fuzhou governor also requested an order to relocate the fishermen and ban the sea, but my uncle told me in private that if we move in again, the salt production will not be guaranteed, and the price of salt will inevitably rise. To rise, now the price of salt in Fuzhou has reached 150 cents a dou, and the price of salt in the capital has risen to 180 cents a dou. Further in and north, there are 200 cents. I heard that In some counties, the price has risen to two hundred and fifty cents a dou, and the price of salt is unstable, although not as big as the price of grain, but it should not be underestimated.

Fan Zijin leaned forward slightly, "So you don't want to ban the sea?"

Of course Qi Xiuyuan didn't want to. He was born in a military commander and knew that retreating on the battlefield was the best policy, and only taking the initiative was the best policy, but now their navy is too weak to be a match for pirates. The commander of the army has stepped up training, in short, we can't always be passively beaten."

Qi Haoran heard his teeth tickle and shouted, "Brother, let me see how powerful that pirate can be."

Qi Xiuyuan and Fan Zijin looked at him with contempt and asked, "Can you swim?"

When Qi Haoran choked, Qi Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sea battles are not the same as land battles. On land, I admit that you are powerful, but naval battles," Qi Xiuyuan shook his head slightly, and said, "The first uncle and the second uncle have been guarding Fuzhou for many years. , I haven't dared to take the initiative to provoke those pirates. It can be seen that they are powerful. You should stay in the capital honestly. From my accession to the present, our brothers have always been together less often. Take advantage of this opportunity, you can also Let’s sort out the forces in the capital.”

Qi Haoran pointed at Fan Zijin and said, "Isn't Zijin always responsible for this?"

Qi Xiuyuan said: "Zijin has a new errand, you can't count on Zijin for everything."

"Didn't the envoy of Xixia leave? What else does he have to do?"

"The envoy of Xixia has left, so he has to change to a new official position. You have to experience it, and Zijin has to experience the same, so next month he will go to Guangdong to serve as the prefect."

Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide, "How do you go to such a place where birds don't poop?"

Qi Xiuyuan spit out two words, "Get out."

The two were kicked out by Qi Xiuyuan, Qi Haoran touched his aching buttocks, Fan Zijin glanced at him sideways, and said, "Deserving it!"

"Didn't I hold injustice for you?" Qi Haoran exclaimed, "I really don't know good people."

Fan Zijin snorted: "You should put away your kindness. My cousin arranged this place for me to experience. Apart from Fuzhou, only Guangdong has maritime trade. This is my area of ??expertise. With the support of my cousin, I can let go of my hands and feet, Guangdong is barren, and it is easy to see political achievements, and I can walk up the road after staying for two or three years.”

Fan Zijin paused and said, "Also, I also have my own thinking. Our silk, tea and porcelain are very easy to sell, but due to rampant pirates, there are very few merchants in Guangdong who go to sea by themselves, and they all sell directly to those who enter Hong Kong. Foreigners, for the sake of a list, there are a lot of malicious price reductions. I went to Guangdong this time to regulate the market, and I am very interested in sea trade."
