The powerful prince and princess who dotes on the world is pregnant again

The eldest princess Rong Yao came to see Xia Zixing and told her about the donation.

Xia Zixing was surprised, and then said with a smile: "My father always knows how to carry things clearly."

Rong Yao disagreed, "Don't talk about your father like that, it's not easy for him either,"

Xia Rende originally had three daughters, but now none of them is around. There was no one around to serve him, and he looked really pitiful.

Xia Zixing thinks it's good that Rong Yao can think about her father like this. It seems that the relationship between the two is developing very well.

"Does Father know about your affairs?" Xia Zixing asked,

Rong Yao's face turned red, "I don't know,"

Xia Zixing twitched the corner of his mouth. You thought you didn't know. Your father might know it better than anyone else, but he just didn't say it or was happy to see it happen.

The money was quickly gathered at the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households was responsible for counting and counting. This donation turned out to be nearly 200 million taels of silver.

When Emperor Ren found out, his face turned dark. Everyone in the court said they were poor in front of him, but in fact they were all richer than him, the emperor.

Even a minister of the Ministry of Justice was richer than him, because the minister's daughter was a Cailiangren before, but this time she also contributed 15 taels. When Emperor Ren was happy, he promoted her to a Cailiangren.

"Liu Shangshu, you must remember these carefully. These are their contributions to the soldiers of our court. They must not be forgotten and must be remembered."

Liu Shangshu is ashamed, everyone has made a mistake.

Soon, the problem of the soldiers at the border was temporarily solved, but this was not a long-term solution. This kind of natural disaster might happen again in the future.

Rong Xiu also knew that, so he had been in a bad mood these past few days.

Xia Zixing originally didn't want to take care of it, but seeing his worried look was really irritating.

"What are you border officers and soldiers doing now that there is no war?" Xia Zixing asked,

"Of course it's training,"

"Well, training is definitely necessary, but they can't just train,"

Rong Xiu was confused, "What else should I do?"

"You also have to support yourself, such as plowing the fields,"

Rong Xiu shook his head, "That won't work. I have tried to grow food before, but the land at the border is not good and I can't grow it."

"You can grow other things. If you can't grow rice, you can grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. These are easy to survive,"

"The potatoes and sweet potatoes you mentioned are not available in our country, Yuerong."

Xia Zixing doubted that it was impossible.

She remembered that he had eaten potatoes, "sweet potatoes,"

Only then did Rong Xiu realize what Xia Zixing was saying, "The sweet potatoes you mentioned are not from Yuerong Country, but were purchased by traders from Yanchi Country, so those things are very rare."

Xia Zixing guessed that Huahua was probably popularized in Yanchi Country, "This sweet potato is easy to grow and has a particularly high yield. It can be eaten as a staple food and will withstand hunger."

"How?"

This is Xia Zixing's strength. In her previous life, in the Taoist temple, there was a piece of land that Xia Zixing was responsible for. She liked to plant some easy-to-grow things, such as potatoes and sweet potatoes. Once planted, they would bear fruit without having to take care of them.

Xia Zixing briefly explained the planting method, and Rong Xiu wrote it down on paper.

"Is he really such a good person?"

"Of course, the land at the border is big and pine, which is perfect for growing this kind of thing,"

Rong Xiu thought about it for a while. If he wanted to plant sweet potatoes, he would have to have Yan Chi purchase a large amount of sweet potato seeds. He would need to find a reliable person to do this kind of thing.

"If this happens, you will be a great hero of Yuerong Kingdom," Rong Xiu said happily, and kissed Xia Zixing several times in excitement.

chirp chirp...

Rong Xiu went to the study and called all the Lu brothers. They discussed the matter of planting sweet potatoes at the border.

Lu Yiyi said: "The businessman can ask Tang Qing to go. Regarding the letter, let Lu Si deliver it personally."

Rong Xiu also thought so,

"Lu Yi, go find Tang Qing."

Not long after, Tang Qing came,

When Tang Qing saw Lu Yi, he knew that King Xiu had something he wanted him to do personally.

When he found out that he was going to Yanchi country for business, Tang Qing thought he had heard wrongly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, why do you let me go down here?"

"I believe in your ability. Just go ahead and leave the business at hand to others for the time being. You must do this well."

This is a major matter concerning the food and clothing of hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The Ministry of Revenue has arranged for people to send the donated money to the border.

Lu Yi asked: "The emperor asked Prince Xuan to deliver it this time. Will there be any problems?"

Lu Er shook his head, "Prince Xuan doesn't dare. This kind of silver is transparent and no one dares to do anything."

"I heard that I need to buy some grain, but the grain has a different price," Tang Qing said.

Liu Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue was a disciple of the Bachelor of Kangxi University.

At the same time, Liu Shangshu and Lord Kang met in a restaurant.

Liu Shangshu was in a very uneasy mood. He didn't know what Mr. Kang could say to him at this time. If he really wanted to talk about it, it could be about the donation of silver.

Liu Shangshu came alone, and the waiter took him into a box, where Master Kang was already waiting.

"Lord Kang,"

"sit,"

"Liu Shangshu is my father's most proud disciple," Master Kang said calmly.

Liu Shangshu received many years of education from Kang University. His position in the Ministry of Household Affairs is indeed related to his status as a disciple of Kang University.

But Liu Shangshu knew better that if the previous Shangshu failed, it would not be his turn to sit in this position.

The reason why the predecessor fell was because King Xiu helped him. Although the predecessor deserved it, it was only King Xiu who came forward and had the ability to bring him down.

If you want to ask who Liu Shangshu is most grateful to, it must be King Xiu.

Liu Shangshu nodded, "Yes, thanks to my mentor for paying more attention to his teachings."

"Liu Shangshu has won the emperor's important task this time,"

"It's the emperor's love," Liu Shangshu nodded respectfully.

"I am looking for you this time because I know that you want to buy a batch of grain. I happen to have a batch of grain here, and the quantity is not large. I hope Liu Shangshu can help me."

After hearing this, Liu Shangshu did not express his position. He remembered that before coming here, a young gentleman came to him and said that he had a batch of grain in his hands, and the price was fair and the quality was guaranteed.

The important point is to emphasize that King Xiu asked him to come.

If there is anything unclear about this, King Xiu knew that someone would come to him and made a decision for him in advance.

Liu Shangshu stood up and pretended not to know, "It's a pity that it's too late, Master Kang. I made an appointment with a grain merchant two days ago, and it was recommended by King Xiu."

Lord Kang's face changed slightly, but he still pretended not to care.

"Oh, I have made a reservation a long time ago. I wonder which one King Xiu recommends?"

Liu Shangshu chuckled, "Hao Qi, I was originally going to see you today, but you came to see me again just now, so..."

Master Kang's expression remained unchanged, but he said: "It seems that I have disturbed Liu Shangshu's important matter."

Liu Shangshu waved his hands hurriedly, "No, Lord Kang, please have tea with me. I will definitely come right away. It's just a matter of food. I'm afraid it will be difficult. After all, he is King Xiu."

...Forcing a smile and leaving unhappy.
