The queen is a bit cowardly

Although Nanny Mudan lives in the county mansion, she leaves early and returns late, but she has never met Chang Lan face to face.In fact, it can be guessed without explaining that Mudan deliberately avoids Chang Lan, but the reason for this is unknown.

At this time, it was raining continuously in winter, and the rain was still mixed with snow, and even a little exposed skin felt as cold as a knife.Chang Lan sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, with a small brazier at her feet. There were two horse-head melons beside the brazier. They could be eaten directly after roasting. No one knew how this special product of Dongluo became It is a specialty of Baili County. For poor people, horse head melon can be eaten as a staple food, and the energy it brings is not worse than rice. The taste is relatively rough, but the output is also higher than rice. It is enough to feed the people at the bottom of Baili County.

In addition to being a staple food, the leaves and stems of horse head melon can also be fed to sheep and horses. In such a cold winter, it also solves the problem of livestock reproduction. Originally, such food nobles would not look down on it, but its cost is lower than food. There are too many, and the Daxin Kingdom has many officials and ministers. The most important thing they need is slaves and land, but the food grown on the excellent land will not be eaten by slaves. Selling the head melon to the minister turned out to be a major export business.

"Princess, be careful of catching a cold." Wan'er put her hands in her sleeves, and the cuffs were fringed with fox fur, so warm that no trace of cool breeze could penetrate.

"The room is a little stuffy, let's get some fresh air." Chang Lan said, and just checked the accounts of An County. After Zhang Nan passed by, everything went well, especially the increase in tax revenue. Chang Lan carefully looked at the figures again. It was confirmed that those increases were not fakes, but Zhang Nanjing's former slave partner. After leaving the slave, he wanted to take advantage of the long-term peace and stability in a corner of Baili County, so he worked hard in An County, and built several new markets.

Wan'er admires Chang Lan from the bottom of her heart. In her opinion, women in the Central Plains have many rules, and they are short-sighted because they are trapped in the boudoir. With an astonishing vision, one day she sent the accounts of the livestock order. The accounts were beautiful, and the income continued to increase. Chang Lan only took a look and found something strange under the numbers. Obviously, Shangchuan County had no more than a thousand sheep, and the output The amount of wool was abnormally large. After further investigation, it turned out that Xiao Yin, the secretary, was drunk that day and wrote the wrong number. Then he asked the reason why Xiao Yin was drunk. After she came to Baili County, she has been trying to curb the extravagance. Now that the county has lived in poverty, if she leaves the minister under her jurisdiction, she will not talk about it. Those who are willing to stay and do things must do according to Chang Lan's requirements, so Xiao Xiao In this account, three officials from Shangchuan County were abolished.

Vision is just one of them, and Chang Lan still has the ability to support her vision. Wan'er has always felt that if Chang Lan is in business, she is afraid that she will be invincible in this world.As a woman, Wan'er also seems to understand why Jiang Qingluan is so obsessed with Chang Lan, and how such a rare treasure can be easily turned away.

"The princess is too concerned about everything." Wan'er looked at A Li again: "A Li can also share the burden for the princess now."

Chang Lan smiled. She believed that there was no natural slave. A Li grew up with her and went to school together. Apart from their different identities, there was no difference in other things. However, it happened that they were born in this way, but they were two completely different lives.

"Ben Gong said that Ah Li is worthy of a great job," Chang Lan said.

A Li still habitually added charcoal to the brazier at Chang Lan's feet, she said shyly, "I didn't do anything, I just helped Miss Wan'er with some chores."

Ah Li is such a temperament, gentle and not competitive.

"A Li has grown up, so I can let go and do other things."

Ah Li echoed with a smile: "It's better to spend more time with His Highness when the princess palace is over, His Highness will run to you when he finds time."

When Jiang Qingluan was mentioned, Chang Lan couldn't hide her smile. If the liking before was the joy of a girl, now it seems like the comfort of an old couple. Every time I think of this person, I feel at ease.

But then Chang Lan lowered her brows again, and sighed softly: "I really can't accompany His Highness this time, I wonder if His Highness will be sad."

"Huh?" Ah Li was a little confused.

"I thought that An County was well managed by Zhang Nanjing, and most of the people who could be born in the county were former slaves, so I wanted to go and have a chat with them." Chang Lan thought that the slaves in the world The larger the quantity, the more useful it will be.

"Does Your Highness know?" Wan'er asked: "Actually, there is no need for the princess to rush to An County, Baili County still needs you to take care of it."

What Wan'er is afraid of is Nanny Mudan. If Chang Lan leaves, Mudan will definitely intervene in the affairs of the county government.

"Of course I am the master." Chang Lan raised her eyes and said, "I leave half of the red armor for you. If anyone dares to interfere with your official affairs, the red armor guards will be dispatched by you."

There were only a hundred Chijias that Chang Lan brought to Baili County, but Chijia's weapons and equipment were the best in the world, and they were the royal family's personal guards. Basically, when they saw the dragon pattern flag, the gangsters dispersed.

"Most of the An County garrison is from the Huamo Division, no more than the Tata Division. It is always more at ease to wear red armor." Wan'er said again: "The most important thing for Your Highness is you, the princess."

"Qing..." Originally, he wanted to talk about Qingluan, but Chang Lan changed his mind and said, "His Royal Highness should pay attention to her country of Fu Kingdom at this time. It's not a big deal for me to go to An County."

What Chang Lan said was so true that Wan'er was a little ashamed. She came here to help Jiang Qingluan restore the throne, but she also admired Chang Lan and was willing to be the head of the horse. Compared with the country of Fu, it is really no big deal .

"A Li, have someone prepare for me. I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon." Chang Lan arranged.

A Li nodded, letting anyone arrange Chang Lan's itinerary was not as good as his own, so he silently wrote down the matter, and then went to ask about the weather and roads in An County.

The three women chatted about some homework, and Chang Lan was also curious about the way of doing business in Fuguo Chamber of Commerce, and then chatted about Shangluo. The prime minister of Shangluo was born in a family of merchants. The business was done, and now Shangluo's national strength ranks among the top among the eastern countries, but because of the lack of famous generals, it is weaker militarily.

Afterwards, the three of them dispersed separately, they all had busy matters in their hands, so they stopped chatting.

Chang Lan looked at the icy and snowy world outside the window, but suddenly a flash of light came to her mind. If business can be used in politics, can it be used in war?Maybe there are still too many things to do, Chang Lan still didn't continue to think about this somewhat whimsical question, and continued with the current affairs.

Changfu Shenshi

No matter how cold it is in Baili County, the cold air cannot enter Chang Lan's bedroom. The charcoal in the brazier is burning slowly. Good carbon warms the room through the slate.Jiang Qingluan's coat was neatly hung on the wooden shroud, and under the wooden shroud were smoked herbs to prevent evil from invading her body.

"Drink some brown sugar water to warm up your body." Chang Lan said.

"Don't drink." Jiang Qingluan turned his head away, looking angry.

"What? Still playing with a child's temper?" Chang Lan reached out and pinched the other person's face: "It's just been separated for a few days, it's not like they haven't been separated before."

"Before was before, isn't it time for the two of you to hug each other in this winter?" Jiang Qingluan complained, "An County is protected by Zhang Nanjing, why don't you worry about it."

"It's not that I'm worried, but I just want to have a look. Isn't this our Baili County? Your Highness must also pay attention to it, but His Highness doesn't have time. I will pay attention to His Highness." Chang Lan picked up the brown sugar water, scooped it up with a spoon, and delivered it to him. Jiang Qingluan said, "Open your mouth."

This is a good thing to say, and Jiang Qingluan also knows that she can't refuse. In fact, Chang Lan is right. It is the duty of a king to inspect every inch of his land, but Jiang Qingluan is afraid now. He is afraid that there will be a fierce battle after the spring. Afraid of agreeing to Mudan's request and disappointing Chang Lan, both outcomes make her uneasy, and the only person who can make her feel at ease is preparing to leave Ban Yue.

Jiang Qingluan has been evading her responsibilities in Tianping City. Living was her most basic requirement at that time, but when she suddenly returned to the position of leader, she became unable to choose.

"Qingluan?" Chang Lan put down the spoon, "Qingluan has something on his mind."

Jiang Qingluan has a lot of things on her mind, the most annoying thing now is the marriage proposed by Wei Zi, but how should she tell Chang Lan?She hasn't tried her best to prevent this from happening, so she must not let Chang Lan worry about it anymore.

"No," Jiang Qingluan excused, "I just don't want you to go."

"Good boy, half a month at most. If I deal with it quickly, I'll be back in ten days." Chang Lan stroked Jiang Qingluan's head, and sometimes felt that the other party was really like a child. Where did the gentle and jade-like Prince Fu go? ?

Jiang Qingluan knew that she couldn't compete with Chang Lan, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Lan'er..." Jiang Qingluan took Chang Lan's hand, not to mention herself, Chang Lan's hand was not as delicate as before, especially the calluses between the index finger and middle finger from holding the pen for a long time.

"Qingluan, do you have anything to say?" Chang Lan felt that her lover was different from the past. Jiang Qingluan was a little clingy to herself, but she never seemed as hesitant to speak as she was today.

"No..." Jiang Qingluan was still planning to slow down the marriage, and she was going to explain it to Mudan first.

"Is it because His Highness hasn't figured it out yet, or is it inconvenient for His Highness to say it?" Chang Lan asked sensiblely. Some things are family affairs of Fu Xi people. It's normal for Jiang Qingluan to be in trouble, but she believes that this person in front of her will definitely not harm her. , will not disappoint her.

"At this time, it's inconvenient to say." Jiang Qingluan said.

"If it's inconvenient to say, don't force it." Chang Lan was open-minded: "But don't make yourself miserable."

"En." Qingluan nodded, she was not afraid of hurting herself, but Chang Lan: "After I deal with it, I will tell Lan'er."

"It's getting late." Chang Lan heard the watchman's voice outside the courtyard, and said, "Qingluan, go to bed early."

"After half a month, I will not let you rest tonight."

Seeing that the lights were turned off, Ah Li retreated from the courtyard, and finally understood why Chang Lan arranged to go on tour tomorrow afternoon...
