I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

He never expected that Shangshu Hubu would agree so quickly this time.

Until the two of them left the Yangxin Hall, the emperor still looked in a daze.

Liao Cheng on the side couldn't help but shook his head when he saw the emperor like this.

Look at how their Majesty was tricked by Mr. Wang?

Thinking of the time when His Majesty asked Mr. Wang for money, Mr. Wang sat on the ground and rolled around, unwilling to give any money.

Why did you agree so happily now?

Not to mention the emperor, even Liao Chengyi, who was good at manipulating people's hearts, was a little confused for a while.

I don’t understand why Mr. Wang, who used to be called King Koukou, is so generous today?

What? Are you trying to be a money-spreading boy?

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wang seems to be a little unusual today."

Liao Cheng saw the emperor's expression and hesitated for a moment before giving a reminder.

Liao Cheng still knew about His Majesty's previous appearance.

Although he was a eunuch, he was also a boy from a peasant family in his early childhood.

He himself knew whether the people were living well or not.

Now that the war in the north is about to begin, he also understands that it is a good thing that the emperor is no longer stupid.

He had never thought of persuading the emperor before, but he was just a eunuch. How could he win over the emperor?

What's more, he often served at the emperor's side, so he naturally understood that the emperor was not really confused before, but just couldn't let go of some things in his heart.

Looking at the emperor like this now, Liao Cheng really didn't want the emperor to change back to his previous appearance.

Sure enough, when the emperor heard Liao Cheng's words, he was silent for a moment and turned to look at Liao Cheng.

Liao Cheng quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

When the emperor saw this, he couldn't help but snorted coldly.

"Master Wang is different, but this kind of Master Wang is a pillar of the Zhou Dynasty."

Liao Cheng did not understand the emperor's words for a while.

When the emperor saw Liao Cheng's expression, he relaxed.

"Do you really think that old guy Wang Qiong doesn't care about money anymore?"

"I tell you, he will be a miser in his life!"

Hearing this, Liao Cheng became even more confused.

Since Wang Qiong is a miser, how could Mr. Wang agree so quickly when he went to Baiyue to buy a large sum of money like cotton?

"Although he is a miser, he is also a rare person with a conscience."

"This purchase of white flowers is something that will benefit the people of the entire Zhou Dynasty. How can he not agree?"

"The prince said before that these white flowers will be used to make winter clothes for border soldiers in the future."

"For no other reason than for the soldiers on the border, Wang Qiong won't do anything."

When Liao Cheng heard this, he understood why the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was so happy to give money today.

Seeing the expression on the face of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, the emperor gave a rare smile.

"Go and bring me the cotton-padded coat that the prince gave me. I will also try to see if the cotton-padded coat is warm."

Although he had touched the cotton coat before, he did not try it due to his identity.

But just by touching it, you can feel the warmth of that cotton coat.

It was getting late now, so he might as well give it a try.

What's more, this is the amount given to him by the prince. How can he not try it?

In the past, the emperor would still be wary of the prince.

After all, with age, the prince was young and strong, and he was getting older.

How could he not be worried about such a threat?

But after the war in the north broke out, the prince suddenly left the capital, which made him feel inexplicably flustered.

Especially during his previous private visit incognito, he saw that after the disaster, the lives of the people of Great Zhou had not recovered.

There are still many people outside the city who are naked and hungry.

How could the emperor forget such a tragic situation?

Standing at the city gate that day, looking at the people below the city, he suddenly remembered the miserable situation when he started the rebellion and when he first entered the capital.

I originally thought that after he raised the army and took this position, the people's lives would get better and better.

Unexpectedly, he has been sitting in this position for so many years, and the miserable situation outside the city is still the same.

It was also at this moment that the emperor deeply realized how wrong he had been for so many years.

But fortunately, there is still a chance for things to turn around. His prince, his next heir, is a rare benevolent king.

In this case, why can't he, as a father, pave a smoother road for his son?

Liao Cheng served the emperor and put on his cotton clothes. Watching the emperor walk around the house twice, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Liao Cheng quickly stepped forward to help wipe it away.

There is a brazier in the Yangxin Hall, and now that I'm wearing cotton clothes, it's indeed a little warmer.

However, this temperature made the emperor very happy.

After he changed out of his cotton-padded clothes, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The white flowers that the prince mentioned are really extraordinary. This thing is much warmer than the reed flowers that people used before."

Although Liao Cheng had never experienced it personally, looking at the emperor's expression now, he felt that this white flower seemed to be a rare and good thing.

"Okay, put your clothes away, I'll put them on tomorrow."

Seeing the unconcealable joy on the emperor's face, Liao Cheng quickly put away his clothes.

Who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so thoughtful and even send the emperor a set of cotton-padded clothes.

Thinking of the other princes, Liao Cheng couldn't help but shook his head.

Perhaps in the hearts of those princes, they have never considered His Majesty.

Watching Liao Cheng go to pack his things, the emperor sat at the desk again.

He took out a piece of letter paper and wrote a letter, and then called the guards outside the house in.

"Send this letter to Shopkeeper Liu early tomorrow morning. Tell him that it is my letter to Prince Rong and ask him to bring it to you."

"Yes."

After watching the guards retreat, the emperor went to rest.

He was very tired these days. Now that the northern border had finally settled down, no one was making trouble in the court, and the emperor was relieved.

What they have to do now is to strengthen their troops and defense before spring.

But with the cement produced in Qingshui County, they don't have to worry about those foreigners being able to break through the city wall.

Not only that, but Zhang Siyuan...

The emperor closed his eyes, his consciousness gradually becoming blurry.

When Liao Cheng came back, he saw that the emperor had rested, and he felt slightly relieved.

Ever since the war broke out in the north, the emperor has been troubled day and night.

Now things have calmed down a lot, and the master can rest well for a while.

After Liao Cheng went out quietly, he closed the door and stood guard outside the door with his eyes closed.

……

Shopkeeper Liu was originally thinking about whether their lives would be threatened if they went to Baiyue this time.

After all, the relationship between Baiyue and Dazhou was very tense before, and no one knew whether Baiyue would take action against their people.
