Chapter 66: A female mate chooses to farm (15)

"Girl... oh, this old slave deserves a beating!" Nanny Feng slapped her mouth, "From now on, we all have to change our words."

 “Yes!” The maids responded with smiles and called the princess one after another.

Xu Yin waved her hands half-heartedly: "Didn't you say there is a hot spring pool in the main courtyard? I want to take a dip."

During the construction of Jinnan Palace, a hot spring was accidentally dug out.

 King Jinnan asked skilled craftsmen to build a warm soup pool in the small garden of the main courtyard, close to the flower hall. After soaking in the warm soup, there is a warm flower hall.

 Xu Yin left the man behind and soaked in the hot springs with enjoyment.

He also turned away the grandma and the maid, and secretly poured himself a glass of red wine.

 An exquisite tall glass bought at an overseas Chinese store in Tongcheng in the 1980s, paired with a glass of the best quality red wine from the peasant girl era, in the mist-filled hot spring pool, giving people the illusion of an alternation of time and space.

It seemed that at this moment, she was not in backward ancient times, but in a five-star hot spring resort in later generations.

 Having finished half a glass of red wine, Xu Yin put the cup back into the system warehouse and leaned her head against the wall of the pool.

 The stamina came up and I felt a little dizzy.

 This wine was ten years old when it came out of the cellar.

 The better the quality of the red wine, the older it is and the more mellow it is; if the wine is of poor quality, it is brewed and drank best in the same year.

Xu Yin pinched her forehead and was about to ask Dongxue to bring a pot of tea when a figure walked in.

 “Are you taking a warm bath? No wonder there’s no one in the room.”

Yan Kejin had also changed out of her wedding robe and put on light casual clothes, and turned away the servants when she came in.

 “Want to hang out with me for a while longer?”

 He sat down next to Xu Yin.

The sound of water flowed softly, and Xu Yin seemed to see a ball of fire coming to her side.

"go away!"

She glared at him with disgust, what a bitch!

 “Have you been drinking?”

Yan Kejin raised her eyebrows.

 I didn’t think much about it, thinking she drank it at the wedding room.

"You need to take care of it!" She obviously wanted to be more aggressive, but her words came out like a coquettish one, "I'm going to say something ugly first. If you accept a concubine, we will break up and I will move to the Xu Mansion!"

 “Xu Mansion?”

"That's right!" She burped, "I've ordered a plaque and I'll hang it up tomorrow."

Yan Kejin was so happy that he gave her a house together and gave her an extra place to go?

 “Are you a cunning rabbit?”

 Only a cunning rabbit needs three burrows.

"Um?"

Xu Yin looked at him with mist in her eyes.

Perhaps I thought he was too tall, so I looked up and struggled to stand up, but my feet slipped and I fell into the water.

Yan Kejin sighed, picked the man up and put him in his arms.

Her unique body fragrance lingered in his breath, making him, who had always been self-possessed, feel a little distraught.

 “Have you seen the women?” he asked softly.

 Otherwise, how could such a good person mention his concubine?

　　　It was the wives of Liu Cheng and Wang Zhihai who said that they were inseparable.

“Uh-huh! You can choose whether you want to be fat or thin...”

Yan Kejin laughed softly, picked her up and weighed her frivolously: "Then this is my choice."

　　　…”

 It was already daylight when I woke up. She was alone on the bed, and the doggy man wiped her clean and ran away.

Xu Yin gritted her teeth and sat up.

Mammy led a group of maids in to help her wash up.

In addition to the four dowry maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter, the government allocated eight more maids, saying that it was the prince's request, and the princess could do whatever she wanted, as long as she did not tire herself.

Why does this sound so ambiguous?

Xu Yin didn't dare to think deeply, so she asked the eight new maids one by one, and finally assigned them positions according to their expertise.

It just so happened that the silkworm room was in need of manpower, so we sent two of them to learn how to raise silkworms under the sericulture experts hired from Linhai County. From now on, the silkworm room will be taken care of by them.

 Also arranged for two to go to Xu Mansion.

While the Xu Mansion was being renovated, she asked craftsmen to build a laboratory in the back garden and needed manpower.

 She has sufficient iron reserves and plans to build a ship.

 Build a model first, and then find craftsmen to build a big ship when it matures.

　　Only one area of ​​the original flowerbed in the garden was reserved for cultivating fine flowers, and the rest were all converted into experimental fields. After high-quality fruits and vegetables are grown and bred, they can then be taken to farms for large-scale planting.

 At noon, Yan Kejin came over to eat with her.

Even though he didn’t see anyone all morning, he actually accomplished two major things.

The first two unlucky guys, Liu Cheng and Wang Zhihai, were brought down. The reason was that they were "greedy, the mansion exceeded the regulations, and they used the name of King Jinnan to increase taxes indiscriminately, causing the people in the jurisdiction to live in dire straits."

However, although this is his fiefdom, he is not in charge of the removal, demotion, conviction and sentencing of officials. To put it bluntly, he only has the power to collect half of the tax and cannot interfere with official affairs.

But it doesn’t matter, just tie the person up and send his men directly to the capital for the emperor to convict him.

By the way, two more people will be sent to replace the governors of Baiyue and Minyue counties.

As for the family members of those two unlucky men, they were willing to go to Beijing to complain all the way to Beijing, crying, and he didn't stop them.

Staying in Nan Man is still worried about polluting the air, a nest of snake rats, no eye -catching things! Dare to cause trouble for the princess on her wedding day!

 The second thing was to raid the mansions of those two unlucky men. Using his name to plunder people's fat and anointing, they are so beautiful!

 Since it is taken from the people, let it be used by the people.

Yan Kejin gave a memorial to the old emperor. The general idea was that since they took office, these two idiots had made money through taxes, which had made life extremely difficult for the people under their jurisdiction, and they needed to give these two counties a buffer time.

However, the tax exemption policy cannot be implemented casually, so we simply raided the mansions of these two people, confiscated their properties, and used them to offset the taxes of the people within the jurisdiction, so that the two counties could get a reprieve.

It's just that the total amount of silver ingots found in the two mansions was as much as 200,000 taels. If the emperor knew that the amount was so large, he would probably be extremely heartbroken if it was confiscated to offset taxes. It would be great to hand over this much money to the treasury.

At this time, there is no such thing as "three years to clear the prefecture and one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver", but even if it is, it is not an exaggeration at all.

These two guys have been in office for more than a year, and Nanman is notoriously poor. They can jointly plunder 200,000 taels of silver. If they are assigned to a wealthy land and stay in office for three years, they still don’t know how to collect it. How many people are fat and anointed.

 No wonder the people in the jurisdiction are all like refugees. How can their life be easy if their parents and officials are like this?

After finishing these two things, Yan Kejin felt very comfortable, and with the princess as her company, she believed that she would be able to eat two more bowls of rice at noon.

"Someone is going to Beijing. Do you have a letter to send to your father-in-law?"

 “Is it safe on the road?”

 “Keep it intact and deliver it to your father-in-law.”

 “That’s okay, I’ll write it after dinner.” Xu Yin thought for a while and nodded.

 Writing a letter to the prime minister's father to remind him a few words, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. If you are too popular, you will easily be targeted by the tiger.

After thinking about it, Xu Yin handed him a hand towel and stopped caring.

 The dishes at noon were very rich, and they were all the chefs' specialties. She ate them very deliciously.

 Mother Feng coughed several times behind her, and she raised her head blankly: "Mammy, do you have a discomfort in your throat?"

 Mother Feng: “…”

Yan Kejin laughed softly a few times, waved his hand, and motioned for all the servants to step back and those who did not need to be served.

Three updates, please give me a monthly pass～
