I was a prince in ancient times

The color of the rock sugar is pure and white, like ice cubes without any impurities, and there is a sweet smell wafting from the pot.

After listening to Lu Chengjiao's description again, Lu Chuyi and Chen Gui looked at the pot anxiously and swallowed secretly. Without the order of the prince, they are servants and servants who are not qualified to ask for it.

Seeing that Lu Chengjie was eating happily, Xie Anlan also picked up a piece of crushed rock candy and put it in his mouth to taste it. It was sweet and had a hint of coolness, which was very good.

"You share the rest." Xie Anlan was not a sugar addict, seeing two people who were still waiting eagerly, waved his hand, and gave them all the rock sugar in the pot.

"Thank you, my lord." The two thanked Xie Anlan first, then turned to the side of the pot, and one of them picked up a small rock candy cube and put it in his mouth.

The sweet taste spread in the mouth, and both of them couldn't help squinting their eyes in enjoyment.

"It's really sweet, sweeter than honey." Lu Chuyi's round face was already looking festive, but when he smiled from the bottom of his heart, he looked pleasing.

Chen Gui nodded along, "This old slave grew up in the palace. It can be said that he has tasted a lot of good things, and it is the first time he has eaten such sweet sugar. This sugar, my lord, is not bad for making tributes." .”

Xie Anlan smiled, "It's not necessary to make tributes, anyway, it's my own business, and it can be short of the emperor's brother, I hope this candy can appear on the market."

Through the incident of brown sugar, Xie Anlan understood how hard the lives of the common people in ancient times were.

Don't talk about other condiments, just talk about this sugar, not many people can afford it.

He hoped that as soon as his white sugar and rock candy came out, those big families would stop scrambling for brown sugar, so that the price of brown sugar would be lowered so that the common people could afford sugar.

But this is not something that can be done overnight, so take your time.

"My lord is kind." Chen Gui is not a businessman, he only saw the appearance, thinking that the lord just wants to make money, while Lu Chengjiao and Lu Chuyi are both businessmen, and he understood what Xie Anlan was thinking when he turned his head. .

Xie Anlan looked at Lu Chengjiao with a smile at the end of his eyes.

The more he gets along, the more he likes this person who is connected with him.

Originally thought that he was a modern person with modern advanced thinking, and he definitely couldn't find a partner who could match him here.

As a result, they met as soon as they crossed, and it was still so suitable.

With a look and a word, the other party can understand what he is thinking, and even help him with trivial tasks that he doesn't want to worry about.

He is gentle and not old-fashioned, good-looking and rich. He can't find such a partner in modern times just by holding a lantern. I didn't expect that a poor prince in ancient times could easily marry him.

At this moment, Xie Anlan admitted that he was sore.

If he didn't time travel, such a good object belonged to the original owner.

Thinking of this possibility, Xie Anlan's heart surged with sour water, he was so jealous that he almost drowned himself.

"Why is the candy not sweet anymore? It's still a little sour." Lu Chuyi slurped the candy, smelling the sourness in the air, and said it without thinking too much.

"It's nothing." Chen Gui waved his hand, the sugar in his mouth was still sweet, but he smelled a sour taste in his nose, so he didn't think much about it, "Maybe a servant accidentally knocked over the vinegar jar in the kitchen. "

"Cough cough." Xie Anlan stretched out his hand under his nose to cover up a cough, and changed the subject, "You two put down all the rock sugar in the pot, and then tidy up the kitchen."

"Yes." Hearing Xie Anlan's order, the two found boxes and tarpaulins and packed the rock sugar cubes in the pot carefully, and only shared the remaining pieces.

Because of the matter of snow sugar and rock sugar, the Lu family's caravan, which was due to rest years ago, was busy again.

Sending people to the countryside to collect sugar, and having to recruit people to set up sugar workshops, Lu Chengjiao has to take care of all these things.

In addition to these, he also has to worry about the New Year's Eve, and the New Year's Eve is approaching, and he has to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Fortunately, the first day of the junior high school was there to help, otherwise he would have to be split into two people.

Apart from Lu Chengjie who was busy, Feng Zhixian was not idle either.

While he was worried about the livelihood of the people in Yicheng County, he had to personally visit Marquis Weiyuan, Huo Sen and others to thank them for guarding Yicheng for the people of Yicheng County, otherwise these people would really be displaced today. , there is nothing wrong with Feng Zhixian without him.

In addition to visiting, he has to be responsible for lobbying the caravans who came with him on weekdays.

Yes, he was thinking about how to build Yicheng day and night, and his eyes were on these businessmen.

Because all the merchants in Yicheng have run away, the government has the right to take back some of the shops. In addition, some of the original shops of the government are in the Yamen.

Most of these caravans came with the idea of ​​making a fortune and returning, and they didn’t bring much money with them. In addition, this place is next to the border. Although the grassland department has been temporarily repelled, who knows whether the grassland department will come again. After the attack came back, there were not many people who bought shops.

Feng Shuchong is so shrewd. He not only sells them at a low price, but also allows them to use the goods as collateral. When these merchants do their math, they can get a good shop at a very low price.

Moreover, Feng Zhixian's attitude has done a good job, allowing these businessmen to earn enough face.

Some people think that they don’t have much money anyway, so just buy it if you buy it.

The big merchants took the lead in buying, and the small merchants felt that if they didn't buy it, they would be inferior, so they also bought some.

With money and provisions, Feng Shuchong managed to revive the dead water in Yicheng temporarily.

He didn't forget who brought these caravans. After tidying up at home, he sent Xie Anlan a formal visit on the first day of the New Year's Eve.

About Feng Shuchong, Xie Anlan could listen to it every day at home.

Why his wife is capable, seeing that there is no restaurant in Yicheng now, she decides to open a restaurant.

Why did Feng Zhixian take so-and-so to their restaurant again today.

Wait for a bunch of things.

But the most heard is that Feng Zhixian is a good official. He sent food to many people in the city who were about to starve to death, and organized people to start repairing the county, and stabilized the hearts of some people who were about to run out of food.

He didn't fall behind in the countryside outside the city either, because many peasant households ran away during the war, and he had people go door to door to re-register.

Some families whose houses and fields have been damaged will be subsidized according to the implementation situation.

Now all the people in Yicheng are saying that Feng Zhixian is a master of Qingtian. With such a magistrate, they finally have a way to survive.

"There are indeed two brushes." When Xie Anlan received Feng Shuchong's invitation, she also had a good impression of the county magistrate.

It was really not easy to clean up the mess in Yicheng in such a short period of time.

However, these are only temporary. It is not so easy for such a large county to recover due to the chaos caused by the war.

Now he has earned some money by selling two shops, and stabilized the people. After a few more days, the money is gone, how should he deal with himself?

Xie Anlan shook her head, and asked someone to invite the county magistrate Feng.

When Feng Shu rushed over, Xie Anlan was holding a handful of rice and playing with it one by one.

He threw a grain on the ground, and the gold pounced over to pick it up and eat it, its appearance was so naive that it made people want to laugh.

"My lord." Feng Shu rushed forward to salute Xie Anlan.

Xie Anlan waved his hand, very casually, "Find a place to sit by yourself."

Feng Shuchong didn't dare to take Joe, Xie Anlan asked him to sit, so he honestly found a chair to sit on.

With such an obedient appearance, those who didn't know thought he was a simple and honest person.

After Xie Anlan threw away all the rice grains in his hands and patted the broken pieces of his palms, he turned around and carefully sized up the newly appointed county magistrate.

He looked thinner than when he came last time, probably due to the exhaustion of working for the people of Yicheng.

People are still as dark as when they came here, and it seems that this skin color will not be able to grow back in a while.

"Fengzhi County has been suffering recently." Xie Anlan sat down and said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's all the job of a lowly official, and you can't be praised by the prince." Feng Shuchong stood up, but he didn't dare to accept Xie Anlan's compliment.

Just when a servant brought tea, Xie Anlan picked up the teacup and took a sip, pressed his hand to let him sit down, "This king is a idle king, what can you afford to be?"

"My lord was joking." Feng Shuchong smiled, if King Chen is really a idle king, then what are the elite guards on the third and outer floors of this mansion?

Xie Anlan didn't bother him about this matter, instead she said with a smile, "In any case, you can restore peace to the people of Yicheng in Fengzhi County in such a short period of time. The emperor and the court ministers must be pleased to know that."

"My lord's praise, I just did some little work." Feng Shuchong was thick-skinned, but he was a bit embarrassed by Xie Anlan's praise. Fortunately, his dark skin blocked him, otherwise he would have I made a big red face.

The two praised each other, but in the end it was Feng Shuchong who was thin-skinned and didn't dare to let Xie Anlan continue to boast, so he slowly expressed his intentions, "Your Majesty, I have other important matters to ask for your visit this time. Please, my lord, complete one or two."

Xie Anlan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said calmly, "Let's talk about it."

"Then you will be bold to be an official." Feng Shuchong stood up cheekily and bowed to Xie Anlan. "Recently, I heard from people in Xiaguan that the prince has set up a saddle workshop in the city."

"Why, Magistrate Feng is also interested in saddles." Xie Anlan laughed.

Feng Shuchong nodded, "I was fortunate enough to see the saddle official made by the prince at General Huo's place. It is indeed a rare and good thing, so many businessmen asked the prince to ask the prince to see if they can wait for the prince to give it to you." After the military camp is finished, sell some to them."

Xie Anlan suddenly remembered that on the day the caravan entered the city, there were no less than a hundred horses. These horses all needed to be equipped with saddles, and the merchants were not short of money, so the idea came naturally.

Due to identity issues, they dare not come to their door, but it is still no problem to ask them to find Feng Zhixian.

Xie Anlan glanced at Feng Shuchong's dark face, he couldn't believe that he sent a invitation to visit just for such a trivial matter.

Sure enough, Feng Shu Chong's next words echoed Xie Anlan's thoughts, "The lower officials have this insight, maybe they can rebuild Yicheng by relying on the saddle."

"How to say?" Xie Anlan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Feng Shuchong paused for a moment, a little bit of preparation, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to get the agency right of the saddle from the prince, and I ask the prince to do it."

"Proxy?" Xie Anlan heard this modern word from the ancients for the first time, and it was quite fresh.

"It's just that I want to get the right to sell saddles from the prince." Feng Shuchong was worried that Xie Anlan wouldn't understand, so he explained again in a simplified way.

Of course, Xie Anlan understood what Feng Shuchong meant, she just wanted to get the right to sell from him.

From then on, he only took care of production, and Feng Shuchong only took care of selling.

Xie Anlan was taken aback, Feng Shuchong was worried that the prince would not agree, and hurriedly explained, "The prince also knows the current situation in Yicheng, and it seems to be stable at present, and can relieve the hearts of the people for a while, but the long-term problem has not been resolved. It's a hazard."

"The lower officials, the lower officials have no choice but to take their ideas on the lord, and ask the lord to punish him." Feng Shuchong said and knelt down.

Finally, he took out a stack of silver bills from his cuff, and with red eyes, choked up and said, "My lord, I also know that I can't lose money to you, my lord. This is the money I got from selling shops in Yicheng. Leave it all to the prince, and please forgive the people of Yicheng, and please hand over the agency of the saddle to the next official."

Xie Anlan couldn't tell what it was like for a man in his 40s to kneel and choke before him.

But he played the emotional card and the sympathy card, Xie Anlan was really touched.

Going forward to help him up, he said with a smile, "Where is Feng Zhixian talking? The people of Yicheng County are not only the subjects of the emperor's brother, but also the subjects of this king. ?”

"Then the prince agreed?" Feng Shuchong made a slight gesture, probably because he didn't expect Xie Anlan to be so eloquent, so he asked for a long time.

"Is there any reason for this king not to agree?" Xie Anlan rubbed her thumb on the cuff of the cloud pattern, and smiled lightly.

Feng Shu rushed to the body that had just stood up, then knelt down again, "Then I will thank the prince for his great kindness on behalf of the people of Yicheng County."

As he spoke, he knelt and held the banknote above his head, asking Xie Anlan to accept it.

Xie Anlan glanced at the thin layer of bank notes lightly, shook her head and said, "This king will not accept your money."

Feng Shuchong was dumbfounded. If the prince doesn't accept this money, is it too little?

I slandered in my heart but dared not speak out.

"It's not that my king thinks too little." Xie Anlan saw his thoughts clearly, and said directly.

Feng Shuchong couldn't help but feel his face burning hot when the prince broke his mind, and asked brazenly, "Then what instructions does the prince have?"

Xie Anlan lowered her eyes, glanced at Jin Zi who was happily bouncing around the room, thought for a while, and said with a smile, "Not only will this king not charge you money, but he will even give you money."

"I can't, I can't, I can't, the prince is willing to hand over the agency rights of the saddle to the subordinates, he is already grateful to the people of Yicheng, how can the subordinates accept the prince's money again." Feng Shuchong didn't understand Xie Anlan's meaning for a while. , thought it was Xie Anlan who wanted to give him money, but dared not accept it.

"This money...was not given for nothing." Xie Anlan was amused by him, and he really regarded him as a bodhisattva, throwing money everywhere.

"Please tell me clearly." Feng Shuchong didn't know what kind of medicine Xie Anlan was selling in the gourd, so he simply didn't guess.

Xie Anlan put his hands behind his back, stood beside him, looked outside the door and said, "It's not a big deal, I just went out of the city for a stroll a few days ago, and I think you are an outstanding person in Yicheng, and you want to contract some land in your Yicheng, I don't know you The county magistrate will agree or not."

"Contracted land?" Feng Shuchong knew that Xie Anlan had left the city a few days ago and bought a lot of brown sugar from the countryside, which greatly relieved him of some pressure, but he couldn't understand the words "contracted land".

"It's the leased land." Xie Anlan also simplified the explanation.

Feng Shu frowned, "I don't know what kind of land the prince wants to lease, and for how long."

Feng Shuchong agreed to lease the land, but he was a little embarrassed to lease the land in Yicheng.

Yicheng has few water sources, so there is less land that can be cultivated. If Xie Anlan leases more, the old Bai people will have no land to plant, so they can only go to drink the northwest wind.

"Just rent 100 hectares of wasteland outside Yicheng, [-] years, the rent is up to you." Xie Anlan gestured in the air.

"One hundred hectares?" Feng Shuchong frowned suddenly when he heard this number, and finally realized that it was a wasteland, and his breath stabilized.

You must know that one hectare of land is fifty mu of land, and one hundred hectares is a total of five thousand mu of land. If Xie Anlan wants to rent five thousand mu of cultivated land, the people of Yicheng will not live.

"My lord doesn't know that Yicheng is dry and lacks water all the year round. The wasteland outside the city has no water source, so it can't be planted at all. If your lord wants to rent land to open up wasteland, please think twice."

Feng Shuchong took into account that Xie Anlan was well pampered, so that he would not become angry after renting the land and finding out that it could not be cultivated.

"These kings are all clear, after all, the king's silver is not blown by the strong wind." Xie Anlan looked at him with downcast eyes, and said quietly.

Feng Shu rushed to meet Xie Anlan's deep eyes, and suddenly his back felt cold, and his whole body broke out in cold sweat. He thought the prince was too simple, "Yes, I understand clearly."

"Yeah." Xie Anlan responded, "Then you and this king will calculate the rent."

"The prince is renting wasteland, and the officials don't dare to ask for a high price. The prince is five taels of silver per hectare. One hundred hectares is 500 taels, and 100 years is 5 taels." Feng Shuchong became more and more frightened. There is no difference in buying.

"5 taels is 5 taels, please ask Fengzhi County to write down the lease."

Xie Anlan asked his servants to get the money from Lu Chengjiao, and brought pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

Feng Shuchong saw the thick banknotes on the table, and his writing hands were shaking. Fortunately, it was all wasteland, otherwise he would not have dared to write this contract.

After writing the contract and drying the ink, Feng Shuchong dared to hand the contract to Xie Anlan.

Xie Anlan glanced lightly, and then stamped her own seal.

Feng Shuchong followed closely with his own seal and the seal of Yicheng County Government.

Xie Anlan pushed the money in front of him, "Order yourself."

"No, no, I trust the lord." There were only fifty silver bills in total, and Feng Shuchong knew that since the lord had given out the money generously, he would definitely be there.

Xie Anlan didn't care about him, and said, "After the new year, spring will begin soon. I hope that you, the magistrate of Feng County, can help me to take care of it and find some farmers to open up wasteland with me. Don't miss the plowing."

"My lord will plant seeds at the beginning of spring next year?" This was something Feng Shuchong did not expect.

If [-] mu of land were to be reclaimed in such a short period of time, almost all the people in the county would have to be mobilized.

"My king's wages are still paid." Xie Anlan gave Feng Shu another dose of strong medicine.

Feng Shu turned his head quickly, and immediately looked at Xie Anlan with an almost admiring look.

The lord spent so much money and wasted so much effort, he couldn't be helping him rebuild Yicheng.

With the money in his hand, he can't do anything he wants to do in Yicheng in the future. The farmers open up wasteland for the prince, have work to do, and have money to take, so people's hearts will not be distracted. All of these are all spent by the prince. Solving problems for him.

The prince was afraid that he would disagree, so he came up with such a roundabout way. He was so moved!

Seeing Feng Shuchong with a strange look, Xie Anlan felt a chill in his heart.

What is this black old man thinking?

Originally, he lost all intention of keeping the black old man for dinner, so he sent him away impatiently.

Being kicked out of the palace by Xie Anlan, Feng Shuchong not only didn't feel humiliated, but felt his whole body full of strength.

It is a blessing for Yongchao to have such a prince, and it is also a blessing for him to be favored by the prince.

Therefore, he will definitely live up to the prince's expectations of him, and vows to build Yicheng better.

Not to mention what Feng Zhixian was thinking, Xie Anlan took the 5 taels of silver notes from Lu Chengjia, and he still had to explain it.

Xie Anlan, who managed to straighten his waist a few days ago, was discouraged by Shanglu Chengjiao again.

It is really easy to spend money and difficult to earn money.

He still hasn't earned back the capital he invested, and he is spending more and more money.

"It's okay, I trust Your Highness." Lu Chengjie smiled at Xie Anlan's eyes that dared not meet him.

"Aren't you wondering what I spent so much money for?" Seeing that Lu Chengjia didn't care, Xie Anlan relaxed and sat opposite him and said softly.

"I heard that the prince rented a hundred hectares of wasteland." Xie Anlan didn't hide his servant's back when he was talking about business, so Lu Chengjie naturally knew it.

"Then you gave the money back so readily." Xie Anlan looked at Lu Chengjiao's hand holding the pen, dazed.

"If your Highness wants it, I will give it to you." Lu Chengke didn't think too much, quickly wrote a few words on the paper, and handed it to Lu Chuyi.

This is their way of handling business, which is the same as Xie Anlan's handling of official affairs in modern times, except that contracts and planning documents have evolved into pieces of paper.

Some even had circles and chachas painted on them, and what Lu Chengjiao returned was also circles and chachas.

Presumably, the people below are illiterate, so they transmit information in this way.

The light seven words can be said to have touched Xie Anlan's heart, and his heart felt numb, the more he looked at the person in front of him, the more delightful he felt.

Lu Chengjie finished processing the papers on the table as quickly as possible, looked at Xie Anlan, thought for a while, and said, "However, Chengjie is curious about what His Highness will open up wasteland to plant? As we all know, there is no water source around the wasteland, and there is little rain in this northwest region." It’s so droughty, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive whatever I plant.”

Xie Anlan pretended to be stupid, "Didn't I ask Chen Gui to collect some seeds a few days ago? I think it's good to leave them alone. Why don't we just find some land and plant them for him, maybe there will be unexpected harvest?"

Lu Chuyi, who was still helping Lu Chengjie organize his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, was so startled by Xie Anlan's shocking words that he almost knocked over the inkstone.

5 taels of silver, so that the prince will let the prince go out with a thick stack?

Lu Chuyi didn't dare to complain about the prince, and looked at Chen Gui viciously.

Lu Chengjie didn't blame Xie Anlan either, but also looked at Chen Gui.

Chen Gui, "..."

I'm not, I don't, I don't take the blame, I knew that the seeds he collected made the prince cheat the princess with 5 taels, and he wouldn't take the job if he was killed.

Really!

It's a pity that he could only shout these words in his heart, and he didn't dare to utter them at all. He could only silently take the blame for the prince.

Seeing that Chen Gui's neck was red, Lu Chengjie looked away lightly, and smiled at Xie Anlan, "I'm afraid that a hundred hectares of land will not be able to plant the seeds of His Highness, why don't I say hello to the various caravans and let them How about helping His Highness collect seeds?"

"You are so kind." Xie Anlan shook Lu Chengjia's hand, unintentionally moved, how could there be such a nice person in the world.

"Your Highness, as long as you like it." Xie Anlan held both hands, and Lu Chengjiao's heart trembled, and he didn't feel bad for the money just spent.

There is no way, the husband I chose will spoil me even with tears in my eyes.
