The whole village is full of tigers, leopards and jackals, and the space widow is escaping with her

The emperor had known for a long time that Jiang Jiuniang had entered the palace, and he had many things to ask Lu Baichuan. But when he heard that Lu Baichuan was seriously injured and could not enter the palace for the time being, he thought about asking Jiang Jiuniang for the same question. After all, there was a strong relationship between the two of them. There’s no secret, it’s the same for everyone you ask.

However, they were here to see the queen, so it was not good for him to go directly there. He had to wait for the queen to send someone to shout, and then he waited and waited, waiting from morning until the sun was almost setting before someone came.

The emperor stood up and left without hesitation, fearing that he would be late and Jiang Jiuniang had already gone home.

When the emperor arrived, the food had just begun to be served. The first thing the emperor did when he arrived was to take Xiangxiang and hug him. He liked it very much.

Although he himself has a daughter, his daughter has grown up and can no longer be held in his arms like she was when she was a child. He can only covet other people's products and hold them over for fun.

"Your Majesty, I came to the palace today to tell you something. The matter is far more serious than we thought."

Before she even moved her chopsticks, Jiang Jiuniang spoke first.

The emperor was originally teasing Xiangxiang, but when he heard this, his expression became serious and said: "You said, I am ready."

"On the surface, the people from the island country are here for the legendary treasure, but their intention is still Beiyan. The island country is short of supplies and has been experiencing civil strife recently, so they decided to target our country, Beiyan. At the same time, they have experts around them. Help, Bai Chuan and Brother Qin were both injured by one person this time. If I hadn't gone there in time, both of them would have died."

"And more importantly, the islanders seem to have gotten help from Dongting. If they unite to deal with us, the pressure will be much greater than before."

"People on the island are spreading rumors that there are treasures in the mountains, and they have even been digging graves. I suspect they are not only looking for treasures, but may have other conspiracies."

Jiang Jiuniang said everything she knew in one breath. The emperor frowned and the queen's face didn't look good.

After finally solving the troubles in Dongting, why are the people from the island country causing trouble again? People are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Why don’t the people from the island country keep an eye on other countries? Isn’t it because Beiyan has developed in recent years, making those people jealous? .

At this time, I really don’t know if it’s good or bad.

The emperor pondered for a long time and then said: "I can guess that the island country is coming to invade, but I have not received any news about the island country's cooperation with Dongting. It is also not clear what their intention is in digging graves. It needs to be verified. There are too many things. And who is the master who helped the islanders you mentioned? He was able to even injure two of my generals. It’s really terrifying!”

At this time, the emperor had no intention of holding the child anymore, and handed Xiangxiang to the little eunuch to hold, his whole heart full of thoughts.

Jiang Jiuniang was much more optimistic than him and advised: "Your Majesty, don't be too anxious. In fact, as long as you take precautions, no matter how powerful the opponent is, there won't be serious consequences. Besides, aren't we still there?"

"Over the years, Your Majesty, you have also trained many talents. They are much better than before. You must have confidence in yourself."

emperor:……

If it was really that easy, he wouldn't be so anxious.

We spent a lot of money and food in the previous war with Dongting. In just a few years, people from the island country invaded again. There will definitely be wars in the future. The treasury is empty and we can only exploit it from the hands of the people. The most miserable people are the people.

He is a benevolent monarch and cannot bear to let the people suffer so much, but food is an indispensable thing for marching and fighting, so he is so anxious.

He said: "The national treasury is empty, I'm afraid it won't be able to support a war."

He exempted a lot of taxes from natural disasters before, and the people have only recovered in the past few years. If taxes are imposed now, the efforts of the people over the years will be in vain.

"What's this? A lot of corrupt officials' homes have been raided before, and there must be a lot of real money and food inside. If a lot of it is confiscated, it will be eaten by the officials who were sent down, and they will just continue to loot it. In addition, marching and fighting The most important thing is to fill our stomachs. Potatoes have high yields and are easy to store. The emperor can let the people plant them in large quantities. My nephew went to Xiteng and brought back many new varieties. I have started planting experiments in my field. If the yield is good, it will be fine. Planting in large quantities, food and clothing is not a problem.”

Jiang Jiuniang expressed her opinion. She also planned to take some grain seeds from the space and mix them with the seeds sent back by Lu Xiaoyang. By then, increasing the yield would not be a problem at all.

As for the costs that need to be spent, we should start with those corrupt officials first, and then her. She intends to use the real money and silver she fished up from the bottom of the sea to the people. By then, the Lu family can gain a good reputation and win the hearts of the people. Even if No matter how fearful the emperor was, he would not dare to attack the Lu family easily.

If you want to be strong, be as strong as possible. If you are so strong that others cannot shake it, then you can truly sit back and relax.

Her words indeed brought a lot of inspiration to the emperor. As long as production can be increased, other problems can be easily solved.

"Okay, okay, it really depends on you if you want to find a way out. If you don't join the court as an official, it will be a big loss for me, Beiyan!"

The emperor immediately laughed out loud. The Lu family's business is not just business. No matter what problems they encounter, they can always find a breakthrough by asking Lu Baichuan and his wife.

How could his treasured love be so obsessed with lard before and become suspicious of the Lu family? He should really die!

Jiang Jiuniang laughed loudly and joked: "Forget it, forget it. I will be busy with these things even if I don't become an official in the court. If I really get an official position, then it will be a luxury for me to have a good night's sleep."

The emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes. Is sleeping in so important?

As an emperor, he has never slept until he woke up naturally in these years. He gets up before dawn every day to go to court to review memorials and deal with various major and minor affairs.

Now when Jiang Jiuniang said this, he suddenly felt that it was so sad to be an emperor, and even sleeping in was a luxury.

"Okay, okay, now that everything is said and done, let's eat. The food will be cold in a while."

The queen opened her mouth and personally prepared dishes for the emperor and Jiang Jiuniang. Jiang Jiuniang hurriedly said no, and gave Xiangxiang the specially prepared complementary food before starting to eat her own.

The emperor asked: "How are Bai Chuan and Qin Jian doing? I heard it's quite serious."

"It's really serious. All the blood in Bai Chuan's body was almost drained. Brother Qin almost turned into a fool. Fortunately, I got there in time. Now I think about it and I'm still scared."

Jiang Jiuniang didn't delay eating when she was talking. What she said was as simple as buying vegetables at the market, but the emperor and empress were stunned on the spot.

"It's so serious. No wonder there's no news about the people I sent there. They were all probably killed."

The emperor sighed. It was not easy to cultivate these talents, but they were damaged like this.

"I didn't see any corpses all the way down the mountain. Maybe they are still alive, but they were controlled by others and are now working for those people."

"what?"

The emperor stood up instantly, with shock written all over his face, and the bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.
