The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 506 Full Warehouse
September 25, Yuanyang.

The autumn harvest is over, but there are still various tasks to be completed, and the people in the city are still working.

Not only Yuanyang, but the people in other prefectures and counties are also in the same situation. Everyone has to work in order to survive.

At this stage, the only people who can live a relaxed life are the people in the inner house of Prince Yong's Mansion.

For example, at this time, Yuqiongyuan, the inner residence of the Wangfu, looked particularly festive. Today is a good day for the full moon of Wang Si.

Time flies, and it has been a month since Xue Baoyun gave birth to his eldest son, Zhao Weihong.

At this time, the Yuqiong Garden was decorated with lights and festoons, and the maids kept coming in and out, and the trays were filled with delicious dishes and meat, which were considered delicacies in this season.

Although all the preparations were complete, the real master did not appear.

In Yongfu Palace, Princess Xue Baojun is sitting in front of the mirror, letting Yu Zhu to dress herself up.

In fact, she has already finished dressing, and now she is just striving for perfection, in fact, she is doing useless work.

Seeing that the time was coming, Xue Baoyun said anxiously: "Yuzhu, send someone to check again, is the prince back?"

Yuzhu persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the prince will be back!"

"It's not because I'm afraid of missing the hour!"

"But empress, even if the prince misses the time, there is nothing you can do about it!"

Hearing this, Xue Baoyun couldn't help being stunned, because that's the truth.

"It's all been arranged, and I don't know who is so ignorant, insisting on reporting that the food has arrived, and abducting the prince away!"

Speaking of this, Xue Baoyun himself laughed.

"Your Majesty, the lord has a lot of things to do every day, you should take more care of him!"

Xue Baojun shook her head again and again, and said, "I'm a weak woman, how dare I trouble the prince!"

At this time, a voice came from outside the bedroom: "But the empress complained just now, didn't she mean to trouble the prince?"

Xue Baoyun didn't turn his head, and replied with a smile: "My good sister, could it be that your skin is itchy?"

"If my sister wants to teach my sister a lesson, then my sister will be itchy for me!"

When Hou Shiyun said this, she and Xue Baoyun both laughed.

It was also this laughter that woke up the baby in the cradle beside him, and the cry of "Wah-wah" suddenly came out in the room.

Everyone stopped talking immediately, and the maid at the cradle hurriedly coaxed the child in a low voice, so that the crying of the child gradually stopped.

At this time, Xue Baojun sighed and said: "This little ancestor is really annoying..."

Then Xue Baoyun asked: "Officials and family members, how many are there now?"

The birth of Xue Baojun's heir means that there will be successors in Prince Yong's mansion. The officials of this full moon banquet paid attention to it, and they all went up to congratulate Zhao Yanxun.

Due to the earnest request, Zhao Yanxun could only follow the popular sentiment and decided to hold a banquet in Yuqiong Garden instead of acting hastily in Yongfu Palace.

At this time Yuzhu replied: "Just now a servant girl reported that the officials of the Chief History Department and the Privy Council have arrived sixty-seven out of ten... Thinking about it now, it should be almost there!"

"It's still better to send someone to the Jinshen Palace to wait, and the prince will report immediately when he arrives!"

"Yes... I will arrange it, servant girl!"

After giving these instructions, Xue Baoyun walked to the cradle, looked at his child and smiled slightly.

She was very fortunate that she gave birth to the eldest son.

…………

In Beicheng, Yuanyang Prefecture, a large amount of grain was unloaded in the warehouse under the jurisdiction of the warehouse management office, and workers were moving it to the granary.

On the side, Ding Yan, the warehouse manager, explained: "Your Highness, this is the last batch of grain to enter the warehouse. After the inspection, it will be sealed for emergency use!"

The ability to have special emergency food also shows that the palace has sufficient food reserves.

Walking in the dam outside the granary, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Is all the grain from other prefectures and counties in storage?"

"It's all in storage. The most urgent task now is to distribute the food!"

Zhao Yanxun asked again: "Can the assignment be completed within October?"

After thinking about it for a while, Ding Yan said with certainty: "After the autumn harvest, there is no more urgent errand, and the dispatch should be completed within October!"

Once the distribution of these grains is completed, more than 20 people in Longyou will not be short of grain until next year.

"It's so good!" Zhao Yanxun praised.

Accompanying Zhao Yanxun to inspect, Ding Yan looked calm on the surface, but at this moment he was already feeling anxious.

In the end, Ding Yan couldn't help reminding: "Your Highness, the palace is still waiting for the banquet..."

After clapping his hands, Zhao Yanxun smiled and said, "It's okay...it's time to go back!"

He felt at ease when he saw the grain entering the warehouse with his own eyes. Now that his goal had been achieved, he should go back.

"Let's go, go back!"

Huo An, who was accompanying him, waved quickly, and someone prepared the sedan chair.

After Zhao Yanxun got on the sedan chair, he heard Huo An say outside: "My lord, your empress... have already sent people to ask me several times!"

"Have the officials and family members arrived?"

Huo An replied: "Almost all of them have arrived, and now they have entered Yuqiongyuan!"

Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "It is said to celebrate the full moon, but it is actually to celebrate the harvest. If you don't see the grain storage with your own eyes, you can't justify celebrating the harvest!"

"My lord is right!" Huo An replied outside.

"You really think it makes sense?"

Huo An was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "What the prince did is naturally right!"

"I didn't do it, so it's wrong?" Zhao Yanxun asked back.

Just when Huo An didn't know how to answer, he heard Zhao Yanxun's laughter from inside the sedan chair, which made Huo An feel relieved.

When Zhao Yanxun returned, the news was sent back to the palace first.

Although the protagonists of today's banquet are Wang Si and "Celebrating the Harvest", these are all attached to Zhao Yanxun, so Zhao Yanxun is the real protagonist.

At this moment, the officials of the palace brought their wives along, eagerly waiting for Zhao Yanxun's arrival.

In the main hall of Yuqiongyuan, there are ten round tables on the left and right, where men and women sit separately, and the women's side is separated by a curtain.

The middle passage was vacated, and there will be dance and music performances in a while.

And at the top of the main hall, there was a table, but it was empty at the moment, it was obvious that this was Zhao Yanxun's position.

Today's banquet is not very formal, so the officials and female relatives present are all dressed in their usual home clothes.

In the current era, even the wives of officials have to do some housework at home within their ability, and they have to arrange for themselves.

So at this moment, these female relatives are not gathering to talk about Yangchun Baixue, but about trivial matters in the parents.

A group of officials gathered around the table to talk about the current situation, especially the urgent affairs after the autumn harvest, and the development of the palace next year.

"Your Highness should be here..."

"Your Highness cares about farming, but we courtiers are sitting here... What a shame!"

While everyone was discussing, they saw Ding Yan walking in from the outside, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

It seems that His Highness is coming... Everyone is guessing.

"My lords, I really don't blame me!" After sitting down, Ding Yan said this sentence.

Everyone laughed one after another, among them, they had a good relationship with Ding Yan, so they couldn't help teasing him a few words.
