Chapter 94 As a fine female matchmaker chooses to farm (43)

   But before she returned to the East Palace, the person sent to investigate came back tremblingly and reported:

   "Prince Princess, that sugar shop was opened by King Jinnan, and it's not the only one, it's the eighteenth."

  The Crown Princess was so angry that her nose turned crooked.

  It’s just a sugar shop, but it has opened 18 stores!

   No, maybe more than that! Does he want to bloom everywhere?

This is how to do! Father will know sooner or later.

"Master, we must start the plan as soon as possible, and we can't wait any longer." The princess hurried back to the palace and told the prince about it, "King Jinnan's expansion speed is much faster than we expected. If we wait any longer, I will be afraid." I can't hide it from my father..."

Yan Keheng was equally annoyed after hearing this: "Damn it! The second guy hides really deep. When he was in Beijing, I didn't hear that he had a disciple who could make sugar under his command! Where did he recruit him? Do he have eyes? ? Don’t you know Gu is the prince!”

  The Crown Princess couldn't help but want to roll her eyes, thinking that this is the point?

   "Master, you have to make up your mind immediately."

   "Gu knows! But I haven't received any reply from the letter I sent so far. I'm not sure if this will work..."

   "If it doesn't work, you can make the father nervous first, so that he doesn't go out of the palace if he has nothing to do. Also, you have to send someone to keep an eye on the prime minister's mansion? Don't let Xu Bainian have the opportunity to tip off the news."

   "Looking at it! But I just heard from my father that Xu Bainian intends to retire and return to his hometown, and his resignation is still on the table of his father's approval of the memorial."

   "Really?" The princess was taken aback, and then said happily, "This is a good thing! Why is the father not allowed to play? What are you waiting for?"

  Yan Keheng thought about it for this reason, so as not to have long nights and dreams, he specially changed his outfit, and went to the Yinhua Palace to have dinner with his father in good spirits. By the way, he hinted that his father should have agreed to Xu Bainian's resignation.

In addition, he pretended to be worried and said: "I heard that the Tartars outside the north have always been unwilling to accept surrender. Now that the weather has turned cold, they won't come back again? It's a pity that the second brother is not here. If he sits in Yanguan, The morale of our officers and men must be greatly boosted, let's see how the Tartars invade my Yanhua!"

  The emperor thought for a while: Yes, the Tartars in the north are like cockroaches that cannot be killed.

Zhengchou didn't know how to face his son in Nanman, after all, he was the only son of his son, letting him suffer in the corner of Nanman, who didn't **** like a bird, would make him feel uncomfortable as a father, but call him back, the queen should be angry again, What a dilemma.

Huh? What did Heng'er say just now? Tartars in the north are afraid of Jin'er who exists like a **** of killing?

  That's not good, let Jin'er go to the northern border, neither need to return to Beijing, nor suffer in the southern barbarians.

  Although the northern border is also bitter, it is closer to central Beijing. It is easier to buy what you need than the southern corner.

  The key is that Jin'er can be used. Doesn't he like to march and fight? If he wishes, he will be given the title of general, with one hundred thousand soldiers in command.

   Just do it!

  In the early morning of the next day, the emperor, who thought he had a good idea to get the best of both worlds, announced the good news in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

  Ministers: "..."

   Previously, he thought that King Jinnan had lost his Sacred Heart, but now it seems that he wants to reuse him?

  The Holy Majesty's mind is getting harder and harder to figure out.

   But the emperor Jinkou Yuyan said that, even though the imperial decree has not yet been sent to King Jinnan, basically it will not be changed.

  For a moment, thoughts fluttered, and no one knew what each other was thinking.

   Immediately afterwards, the emperor praised Prime Minister Xu again, bragging about his great achievements in the past and his hard work and dedication to the people...

  Xu Bainian felt puzzled when he heard it, but he still knelt down to thank the saint for his praise.

  The next second, the emperor changed the subject, saying that Aiqing, you handed in your resignation last year.

   "Since Aiqing is so determined to resign from her old age and return to her hometown, I have no choice but to be reluctant."

   "..."

  Xu Bainian returned to the mansion, locked in the study and did not come out for a long time.

  The prime minister's wife personally cooked a pot of ginseng tea and knocked on the door of the study.

   "Sir?"

   Prime Minister Xu came back to his senses, a letter with dried ink was spread out on the desk, folded it and put it in an envelope, he stood up and opened the door to invite his wife in.

   "The Holy One has given me the permission to retire from my old age and return to my hometown."

   "Why so suddenly? Didn't you say before the end of the year at the earliest?"

   "Everything happens for a reason."

  He picked out what he could talk about this morning, and lowered his voice and exhorted:

"It seems that the prince will soon go to Yanguan in the north, but the Holy Majesty approved my resignation at this time. He knew that the Xu family's old house was in Furong County, so he didn't want us to help my daughter. It is said that there is a Half of the year is winter, life may not be easier than in Nanman."

  Xu Xiang was dying of worry.

  The prime minister's wife didn't know what to say after hearing this, so she sighed for a long time.

Xu Yin is the concubine daughter of the prime minister's mansion, but King Jinnan is the son of the emperor, first he abolished his title of prince, and drove him to the poor and white Nanman fiefdom, now he said that he is good at leading troops to fight, and he is going to send him there Yanguan in the north resisted the invasion of the Tartars, is this really his own?

To be honest, she has been in charge of Zhongfu for so many years, and she really can't treat the concubine's children equally. But like the emperor, he spoiled the empress so much that he trampled the concubine's son in the mud. agree.

  …

  Xu Yin and Yan Kejin returned to Fucheng from Qin County a few days ago.

   Originally planned to come back before summer, but ended up going on a trip across the continent and discovered a summer resort.

   Crossing the continent, that is the undeveloped Hainan Island.

  The wild coconut groves, the clear blue sea, and the later commercialized Sanya are two completely different landscapes, and it is refreshing to be in the middle.

   Seeing that she liked her so much, Yan Kejin simply stayed with her.

   During the day, he trained soldiers while she drank coconut milk and went fishing.

  In the evening, the two walked on the beach and watched the sunset.

   This stay, until the beginning of August.

  If it weren’t for the grain production of Zhuangzi and the surrounding villages this year, I would still want to live here. After all, winter is the best livable season in Hainan.

  Going back to Fucheng to rest for two days, I heard from the housekeeper that Wang Bochu sent someone to inform me that the harvest this autumn was excellent:

  The production of corn has increased by another stone compared with the batch of busy farming in May.

  Although the output per mu of late rice has decreased compared with that of early rice, it is still seven to eight stones, which greatly exceeds the output of previous years.

  The rice flower fish and rice flower crab raised during spring plowing are also the best season for tasting...

  Hearing that, Xu Yin's appetite was hooked.

I am planning to stay in Zhuangzi for two days, steam a few plump rice flower crabs, stew a pot of delicious rice flower fish, and then fill a cup of Sanhua wine, and feel the joy of harvest with Uncle Wang and the others—the imperial decree has arrived .
