After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

The widowed king seemed to be tireless. After resting in the palace for a day, he left with the people he brought from the capital. Before leaving, he said that he would not come back for half a month. Yan Mu'an felt that he was simply overdrawing his life and considering himself. Now I was counting on him to live a good life, so I arranged for a cook to follow him. He didn't sleep much, so he had to eat better.

Two days later, Yan Qiuwen brought people from the army to the palace and gave the letter from the widowed king to Yan Mu'an. After Yan Mu'an read it, he asked Manager Hua to allocate 200,000 taels of silver, and took the people to deliver the money to the army and hand it over in person. into the hands of the widowed king.

Maybe there were too many things at home, so no one from the Yong family came to the door. Mrs. Wei came instead, exchanged a few pleasantries and then went back. Yan Muan's life became leisurely again, enjoying flowers and sunbathing every day, and raising a baby A dog named Duo Jin.

Half a month later, the prince returned to the palace. He was still not idle after his return. Yan Muan asked, and found out that Tiansheng had put pressure on Nan Qi, perhaps to curb the growth of Nan Qi. The Emperor of Nan Qi demanded that the annual tribute be doubled next year, and at the same time go to Nan Qi. Additional manpower has been deployed at the border between the two countries.

The third prince was obviously at a disadvantage in Tiansheng's party struggle.

After thinking for a long time, the widowed king decided to go to Tiansheng in person. He had a reason to go. Today's Southern Qi could not withstand the war, but it was impossible to pay two cups of tribute to Tiansheng. He did not even want to pay a penny. .

Seeing that he could not stop him, Yan Muan gritted his teeth and sent Ning Suo to him.

"Ning Suo has great martial arts skills and a flexible mind. Besides, he has also placed many people in Tiansheng. It's easy to contact him there."

The widowed king didn't want it because he was worried that Yan Mu'an would be in danger if he wasn't there.

"Is there any danger? Luo Hui and the others are still there, and there are many guards in the mansion. Aren't there still troops stationed there? As long as I don't leave the mansion, I won't be able to give outsiders a chance. If anyone asks, they will say that I am recuperating in the mansion. "

"The main reason is that I think your people are not as flexible as Ning Suo."

This is the key point. People who have been in the military for a long time have that kind of energy in them, and it is easy for people to see what Ning Suo is pretending to be.

Before the widowed king could reject Yan Muan, he summoned Ningsuo. Ningsuo was not idle during Yan Muan's absence in Yongcheng. Heyingmen is now well-known, not only in Yongcheng, but also in several places. The net became wider and wider, and Yan Mu'an even felt that if she didn't stop, Ning Suo would become the largest underground force leader in Southern Qi.

Knowing that he was going to be sent to Tiansheng, Ning Suo nodded without asking anything. As long as it was arranged by the princess, he would carry it out. Then he discussed with the prince how to get to Tiansheng and which way to take. In what capacity, where to go first after going, what to do, etc.

Then came the manpower arrangements, what to bring, and all the big and small things were taken into consideration. Only then did the widowed king understand why the princess had to let him take Ning Suo. His own people did not have such experience.

The next day, the widowed king returned to the army. Naturally, there were many things that needed to be arranged before he left. Ning Suo also went back to start preparations. Even Yan Mu'an didn't rest. She couldn't help when she went to Tiansheng, but she should be more prepared. Herbal jerky is still okay.

Another half month later, in a dark night, the widowed king said goodbye to Yan Muan and took the people away. Yan Muan was very melancholy, comforting himself that with endless money and a status at the top, the person he was serving was... Duo Duo, she should be very happy if the man is not around to bother her.

"Tomorrow, ask someone from a jewelry shop in the city to bring the latest and best jewelry for me to choose from."

"The clothing store and makeup store should also be called together."

He glanced at the girl with a few freckles on her face, and added, "Ask Zhuyanfang to send a batch of beauty cream, and each of the maids in the mansion will have one."

He is so generous and willful.

The girls and women expressed joy and surprise in their thanks. Only then did Yan Muan remember that she had been back in the capital for two months and had yet to pay rewards to the people in the mansion.

"The prince and I returned to the capital. During our absence, everyone behaved well. Each of us was rewarded with twenty taels of money."

Money, the source of all evil, is very easy to use. Manager Hua immediately arranged for the accountant to allocate the money, and went to various places to collect the money in batches. Everyone was smiling, and felt that there was no place to live a better life than the palace. After a year, reward money They are all higher than the monthly payment.

Nowadays, the treatment of the palace is already well-known. People outside are crazy about getting in, but the people inside are dying. The better the benefits, the more dedicated they are in doing things. You must know that the palace is so big, there are so few masters, and there is one who is not at home all year round. There are so many People will only serve someone who is not difficult to serve, and they will reward them at every turn. If this kind of job disappears, where will you find another one?

Yan Muan still had a good time in the absence of the king. Some curious people asked about the whereabouts of the king. Yan Muan smiled and said that he had gone to Cangnan. The garrison to Cangnan had already set off, along with those people brought from the capital. In an era of limited information, no one can doubt it.

This year's autumn harvest was better than in previous years. Firstly, God was kind and took care of the farmers; secondly, most people used the farming methods given by the court and harvested dozens of kilograms more per acre. A few dozen kilograms, in the hands of thrifty farmers, mixed with grains and vegetable leaves, would be a month's ration.

One acre weighs dozens of kilograms, what if it’s ten acres?

"Uncle Zhang, look, I told you to follow the court's methods in farming, so how can the court harm us?"

The stubborn and conservative Uncle Zhang was originally worried because the whole village had a good harvest, but he did not produce the extra few dozen kilograms. He also had to listen to his fellow villagers show off in his ears from time to time, which made him even more angry. When he got home, he had to be beaten by a family. Zi complained and learned from the pain, "From now on, I will follow the imperial court's instructions."

His family has six acres of land. Think about the loss of several hundred kilograms, hundreds of kilograms of grain...

The sorrow of a few people was covered up by the laughter and laughter of many people. Yan Muan felt that it was time to collect food.

"You also know something about the situation between North Korea and China. The more things like grain, the better. When collecting autumn grain this year, we will put up a sign saying that grain is collected. The price is compared to the purchase price of grain merchants last year. Don't force it, the people are willing to sell it. Just sell it to the Yamen. If you don't want to buy it, it doesn't matter if you want to wait. We can clean up the granary and store the food. "

As for the money to collect the grain, of course it was her who paid for it.

Yongchang took action quickly. The grain merchants were under great pressure this year. They thought they would be able to harvest more grain this year without the Zhang family's big grain merchants. Who knew that the Yamen came out to intervene and set the price for harvesting grain? They didn't dare to lower the price, so they could only follow the Yamen's lead and raise the price slightly.

Fortunately, the yamen did not want to drive out all the grain dealers, and did not care about them. How much they could collect depended on their own abilities.

Yan Huaiqing also left with a group of people at this time. It was time to pay back the ten thousand acres of fertile land he had purchased. Although retired soldiers were in charge, he still felt uneasy and took the trip himself.

Another month later, good news came from Beijing. More than fifty students from Yongcheng took the exam and passed the exam. What is this concept?

In the past twenty years combined, I have never won so much!
