I was a princess in ancient times

Sensing Ji Xinxue's gaze, Yu Heng turned stiffly to face Ji Xinxue, and said absently, "There is the third son of Sikong, the fifth son of Situ...Deputy Lieutenant Qi of the British government."

Yu Heng mentioned a long list of people's names, but Ji Xinxue only remembered the last one, "Is your third uncle the one who went to Hanmeiyuan to take your place back then?"

At that time, the old lady of the British government asked the butler to visit the Imperial College to offer wine with the post of the British government, saying that "the king of the small county has a good relationship with his younger brother, and he is reluctant to be separated from his younger brother." 'For the reason, I asked Guozijian to think of a way to sacrifice wine.

Guozijian Jijiu was convinced of this, and thought of a 'wonderful' idea.

He exchanged the places of Yu Heng who should be in Hanmeiyuan and Qi Yanhe who should be in Hanzhuyuan. He said that he respected the opinions of the king of Xiaojun and the British government and did not affect others.

Yu Heng, who was caught off guard when he learned that he was transferred from Hanmeiyuan to Hanzhuyuan, was furious. On the first day of school, he knocked down Qi Zhu, leaving a deep impression on the students of Hanzhuyuan.

When she first found out about this incident, Ji Xinxue only felt that the little county king was pitiful, the old lady of the British government was vicious, and the Imperial College was incompetent in offering wine.

After gradually understanding the unsightly appearance of the "elders" in the British government, Ji Xinxue suddenly realized that Qi Yanhe, who replaced Yu Heng in the Hanmei Academy but was not affected by this incident, was by no means innocent.

Even if Qi Yanhe didn't take the initiative to bully Yu Heng, it is a fact that he 'stealed' Yu Heng's interests.

In the environment where everyone in the British government is calculating, Qi Yanhe took such a big advantage but is not conspicuous at all, it must be because someone is escorting Qi Yanhe.

Yu Heng had known for a long time that Ji Xinxue was unfair to him, and had great opinions on people in the British government. After hearing Ji Xinxue's question, he nodded honestly and immediately promised, "Don't worry, I have already rejected third uncle."

How could he still bring people from the British government with him when he knew that Ji Xinxue didn't like most people in the British government?

"Hmm..." Ji Xinxue stuck her face with one hand, lost in thought.

For a moment, Ji Xinxue had the idea of ​​asking Yu Heng to agree to Vice Captain Qi.

Don't people in the British government like to help Qi Yanhe fight for it?

Let the people in the British government see if they have tried their best to present all the good things in front of Qi Yanhe, whether there will be any good results.

Since the people imprisoned in Dali Temple were severely punished by the new emperor, Princess Anwu's reputation as an untouchable has spread throughout Chang'an, and the Taixue is in the palace, and Jin Wuwei can be seen everywhere.

Ji Xinxue is confident that as long as Qi Yanhe enters the palace, he can make Qi Yanhe pay for the advantages he has taken over Yu Heng over the years.

After thinking about it again, Ji Xinxue felt that this was a bad idea of ​​meat buns beating dogs.

The place of Taixue should not be wasted on such insignificant people, and he should not waste too much time and energy on such people.

In case the people of the British government find trouble with Yu Heng or betray Yu Heng because of Qi Yanhe's disadvantage in the palace, wouldn't he vomit to death?

Putting Qi Yanhe to the back of his mind for the time being, Ji Xinxue asked Yu Heng to recount the people who tried their best to give important gifts recently.

Learning from the lesson just now, every time Yu Heng said a name this time, Ji Xinxue would make Yu Heng stop for a while, and sort out the in-laws and old relationships behind this person before letting Yu Heng say the next person.

A total of twelve people tirelessly surrounded Yu Heng.

Half of them have places in their families, but the places come from their elders and are not allocated to their children, so they want to get places through accompanying reading.

Ji Xinxue took the lead in excluding these people.

Among the first 32 people, there were not those who could get the quota without Xindi's special kindness.

People who have places in their families but are not qualified for admission mean that they are not special in the eyes of their elders, and secondly, the elders in their families are not special enough in the eyes of Xindi.

After excluding these people, there are five people left.

The five people are all civil servants, two people from the Jiang faction, two people from the aristocratic family, and one who has not stood in line for the time being and is dawdling around.

Ji Xinxue's mind suddenly flashed what Xindi said not long ago.

'Don't bother with these wine bags and rice bags, they will retire sooner or later. '

It doesn't seem to make any sense to give them the quota, and it's also necessary to prevent Yu Heng from being hurt when the elder who is accompanying him becomes an official.

Ji Xinxue fell on the soft bed in the shape of a salted fish, and began to give Yu Heng bad ideas, "Why don't you write a note and draw lots."

He finally knew why Yu Heng hadn't chosen a companion for so long.

After all, he was chosen to be Yu Heng's companion, a closer relationship than ordinary classmates, if there is someone who knows everything... and so on.

Ji Xinxue's eyes lit up, and she suddenly had an idea, "Is there any junior Lin Zhao who is suitable to be your companion?"

Lin Zhao's loyalty to Princess Anguo's Mansion and Yu Heng is unquestionable, and he can also represent the officials in the fiefdom of Princess An's Mansion.

This kind of grace can not only comfort Lin Zhao, but also let the officials of Princess An's mansion know that Yu Heng has not forgotten them.

If there is no one of the right age in Lin Zhao's family, he can also choose from other officials in the fief.

Anyway, Yu Heng's accompanying study is a grace, and he doesn't need to meet the conditions for admission to Taixue like Taixue students.

After listening to Ji Xinxue's words, Yu Heng had hope in his eyes, and whispered to Ji Xinxue, "If Lin Zhao's junior came from the fief, would Lin Zhao stay in Chang'an to take care of the junior?"

Rong Guang made great contributions to opening the door for the new emperor, and Rong Chong, who was in charge of rushing back to Chang'an with the token to negotiate with Rong Guang, had already become the left guard general of Princess Anguo's mansion in advance.

Ever since the new emperor came to the throne, Yu Heng had been avoiding Lin Zhao subconsciously. He was afraid that Lin Zhao would propose to return to the fief...he couldn't refuse.

Ji Xinxue was stunned, and asked in disbelief, "Lin Zhao is leaving?"

These years, Lin Zhao has been by Yu Heng's side longer than anyone in the British government. Ji Xinxue has long been used to Lin Zhao taking care of everything related to Yu Heng in an orderly manner. She never thought that Lin Zhao would leave .

Yu Heng smiled wryly, and said with lowered eyelids, "His family members are all in fiefdom."

As early as when he got the purple jade butterfly from the prince of Qinghe County, Yu Heng had noticed Lin Zhao's intention to leave.

Ji Xinxue can understand Yu Heng's feelings, and he should be more sad than when he was caught off guard when he found out that Ji Jingyu had the idea of ​​becoming a vassal.

After all, he knew that it was impossible for the new emperor to allow Ji Jingyu to become a vassal.However, Yu Heng could imagine that after Lin Zhao returned to the fiefdom of Princess Anguo's mansion, there was a high probability that he would not return to Chang'an again.

Ji Xinxue patted Yu Heng on the shoulder, and said very loyally, "Even if Lin Zhao has to leave, I will accompany you."

Yu Heng raised his head, fixed his eyes on Ji Xinxue, and slowly covered the back of Ji Xinxue's hand that was supporting her body with his palm, "Yes."

Seeing this, Ji Xinxue held Yu Heng's hand without hesitation, "Besides me, there are Li Jinhuan, Zhang Siyi and Ji Cheng, and you will meet more and more people."

A small dimple appeared on Yu Heng's left face, and he didn't speak.

He is not greedy, as long as there is Ji Xinxue, he doesn't need the rest.

Three days later, Yu Heng uploaded the book again, and selected Zhang Siyi, the grandson of the Minister of Rites, and Lin Wei, the son of Lin Qi, the right-guard general of Princess Anguo's palace, as companions to read, the new emperor Yun Yuheng's new book.

So far, Taixue has a total of 32 students plus 46 accompanying students, a total of [-] people have been completely settled, and classes will officially start in November.

After the matter of Taixue was settled, the courtiers turned their attention to the empty harem of the new emperor, and asked the first emperor to accept the harem's excerpts, and flew to Xiangfeng Hall like snowflakes.

This time, the new emperor did not withhold the voucher and refused to reply, but told the courtiers openly during the court meeting that he had no money.

The concubines in the harem are raised by the Queen Mother Su for him, so he is ashamed to accept a new concubine.

The courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, making crooked ideas one after another.

Someone took the opportunity to ask the new emperor to reduce the status of the existing concubines in the harem, and then wronged the status of the new concubines who entered the palace to be lower. Without increasing expenses, the new emperor can accept the harem and spread its branches and leaves.

The new emperor clapped his palms and laughed, pointing at the courtiers and said, "Then according to your suggestion, condescend nobles to be talents, and recruit new concubines to change clothes. What do you think?"

The courtiers felt uncomfortable and almost passed out clutching their chests.

What they said about reducing the status of the harem, and wronging the low status of the new concubines, is to make the new concubines equal to those who have raised princes and princesses, not to let them enter the palace to do ninth-rank dressing!

The courtiers held back their anger and euphemistically expressed that the new girls who entered the palace were pampered and spoiled. They might not be able to bear such grievances. Even if they were not as high as the biological mothers of the princes and princesses, they would be higher than those in the new emperor's hidden residence.

The new emperor humbly asked, "According to the opinions of the ministers, what position should be given to the noble ladies?"

The old foxes looked at each other and smiled, the brave ones dared to talk about the concubine position, the less courageous ones only talked about the concubine position, anyway, it must be the first palace lord.

The always pleasant new emperor suddenly turned his face, and said with a sneer, "The old man in Qiandi has served me for many years. He is a noble person if he has no credit or hard work. What can they do? They just want to be the lord of the palace when they enter the palace? Find me someone who is willing to change clothes." Concubine, I don't believe you can't find it!"

After finishing speaking, the new emperor walked away, completely ignoring the green and white faces of the courtiers.

The courtiers have repeatedly failed in persuading the new emperor to accept the harem. They can only rejoice that the new emperor does not reject the newcomers, but he is not generous because of tight financial resources, and he is not willing to give the newcomers a place.

They could wait until the new emperor's money is not so tight, or wait until the new emperor has passed his temper, and then give his daughter and niece a generous dowry, and then persuade the new emperor to accept new people into the palace.

The courtiers who were free turned their attention from the harem to the Jinwu Guard.

The first emperor has been buried, and His Majesty has secured the throne, so it's time for General Jin Wuwei to change?

The courtiers were eager to move, and they all wanted to pull Mo Yao down and install their own people in the Jinwu Guard, but they didn't have the guts to be the first bird, so they could only secretly use their means to make trouble for the Jinwu Guard at the bottom, and lured Mo Yao into trouble. You made a big mistake.

The new emperor learned the lessons from his time at the Lieshan Palace, accelerated the plan to dismantle the Jinwu Guard, and made a formal decree before the start of Taixue.

The Huazhou Wei, Tongzhou Wei, Fangzhou Wei, Binzhou Wei, and Qizhou Wei that originally assisted in the defense of Chang'an were all merged into Chang'an City Defense.

The Qianniu Guard and Habayashi Guard, which were abolished by Emperor Yanguang, were restored, and another large camp in the suburbs of Beijing was set up.

Binzhou Wei, Qizhou Wei and Huazhou Wei were all merged into Qianniuwei, responsible for Chang'an city defense.

Ren Rongguang was appointed General of Qianniuwei, the former General of Huazhou Wei was appointed as General of Qianniuwei Left, the former General of Qizhouwei was appointed General of Qianniuwei, the former General of Qizhouwei was appointed General of Qianniuwei, and the former General of Binzhouwei was appointed General of Qianniuwei Right.

Fangzhou Guard and Tongzhou Guard merged into Habayashi Guard, responsible for maintaining order in Chang'an

He appointed Beihou as General Habayashi Wei, appointed General Qizhou Wei as Habayashi Wei Zuo General, and appointed former Huazhou Guard General as Habayashi Wei General Right.

The Jinwu Guard was dismantled into the Jin Wu Guard and the Beijing Suburb Camp.

Ren Mo Yao was the general of the hussars, in charge of Chang'an military affairs, and concurrently served as the general of Jinwuwei.

Deng Hongying, the general of Fengzhou Wei on the south east road of Tiaoshan, was in charge of the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and was appointed as the general of Hengjing.

In the eyes of the courtiers, the series of imperial decrees concerning Chang'an's military defense were the result of the new emperor finally being unable to bear Mo Yao, gradually reducing Mo Yao's power and promoting his confidants.

Although Mo Yao was named General of Hussars, he was able to take charge of Chang'an's military affairs.But in the past in Chang'an, only Mo Yao had soldiers in his hands, but now not only Rong Guang, Dingbeihou, and Deng Hongying had soldiers in his hands, but Deng Hongying also divided half of the Jinwu Guards in Mo Yao's hands.

From this it can be seen that the new emperor's defense against Mo Yao, recognizing his son on behalf of his father, giving Mo Yao a surname, and returning Mo Yao's daughter as a princess are all the new emperor's means to trick Mo Yao into relaxing his vigilance.

The courtiers are happy to see Mo Yao's downfall, and have even quietly sorted out Mo Yao's many "evil deeds" over the years, and are ready to beat the dog in the water. minister.

In addition to being happy that the shadow that had been pressing over Chang'an for many years finally showed signs of disappearing, they also faintly sensed something was wrong from Xindi's clean and neat method of adjusting Chang'an's defenses.

Is this really something that can be done by someone who has never learned the way of the emperor and only knows how to please the late emperor?

Did they miscalculate Xindi?

After the new emperor made the decree, Princess Xuanwei waited for two hours outside Fengxiang Palace, and finally saw Mo Yao with a long knife on her waist. She hugged Mo Yao's arm skillfully, and said with a smile, "Aye Is there an errand?"

Mo Yao glanced at the soft armor on Princess Xuanwei's body, and said solemnly, "I am the general."

"Oh." Princess Xuanwei nodded happily, and asked again, "Does Aye have any errands?"

Mo Yao fell silent, his steps became slow, and he looked at Princess Xuanwei with blame that he didn't realize.

Princess Xuanwei smiled even more happily, and said tirelessly, "Aye, do you have any errands?"

The muscles on Mo Yao's face gradually tensed, and he nodded his head almost invisibly.

"Did the sage ask you to dismantle the Jinwu Guard as soon as possible?" Princess Xuanwei asked in a low voice, seeing the movement of the Jinwu Guard who was standing guard in the distance quietly watching over.

Mo Yao's pace speeded up silently, and the people around him chattered endlessly, as if they had countless questions, and he wanted to get rid of her.

"Hey?" Princess Xuanwei noticed that Mo Yao's pace became faster, increased the strength in her hands, and said with a smile, "Aye, walk slowly, I can't keep up with you walking too fast, so I can only raise my legs..." Let you drag me away.

Mo Yao stopped abruptly, brushed off Princess Xuanwei's tightly hugging arm, then turned to face Princess Xuanwei, his tone was still calm but full of helplessness, "What do you want?"

Princess Xuanwei showed a flattering expression, but almost grew a tail behind her and swayed.

"Want to accept the tenth concubine?" Mo Yao immediately thought of what he wanted when Princess Xuanwei showed this expression last time, he nodded, "Yes."

Princess Xuanwei showed hesitation. Recently, she was busy getting up early and late to go to Jinwuwei to go to work, so why would she want to think about my concubine?But it seems a bit of a disadvantage not to agree at this time...

After a short thought, Princess Xuanwei chose to seize the opportunity, first accepted the concubine, and then hurriedly stopped Mo Yao who was about to turn around and leave, "Aye, I miss you. I will walk by your side, I promise I won't Bothering you on errands!"

It is rare for Mo Yao to refuse Princess Xuanwei's request, and this time was no exception. He nodded coldly, and silently slowed down his walking speed when Princess Xuanwei put his upper hand on his arm again.

The Jinwu Guard's yamen was in the palace, so Mo Yao directly sent someone to find the Jinwu Guard's roster and the blank roster, and personally transcribed the Jinwu Guard's roster on different blank rosters.

The ink marks left marks on the paper smoothly, and the tip of the pen hardly hesitated.

It seemed that Mo Yao had already kept everyone on the Jinwu Guard roster in mind, even if there were many people with the same name among them, he could still accurately think of the person represented by the name through the handwriting on the Jin Wu Guard roster.

Princess Xuanwei, who took the initiative to grind, stared intently at the names written on the two registers respectively, and while Mo Yao was waiting for the ink to dry up while filling the two registers, he asked curiously, "Aye, which register is left behind?" People of the Jinwu Guard, which booklet is for those who will be sent to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing?"

This question is not a secret in Mo Yao's eyes. He pointed to the brochure at hand and said, "Stay in the Jinwu Guard." Then he pointed to the brochure next to Princess Xuanwei, "Sent to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing."

Since her mother died and escaped from her grandfather's house, Princess Xuanwei often played in the Jinwu Guard and knew many secrets of the Jinwu Guard that were not humane to outsiders.

Such as Neiwu, Junwu and Waiwu.

Except for Princess Xuanwei, only a small number of people in the Jinwu Guard in Neiwu knew about this, such as General Zuo of the Jinwu Guard.

Rong Guang, the former Right General of the Jinwu Guard, was born in Junwu. Until now, he completely left Jinwu Guard and took charge of Qianniu Guard to set up a new branch. He didn't know the difference between Neiwu, Junwu and Waiwu.

Princess Xuanwei heard that the new emperor Jin Mo Yao was the general of the hussars, and he was still the general of the Jinwu Guard, but after splitting up half of the Jinwu Guard's troops, his heart was stuck in mid-air, and finally fell slowly.

Just now she volunteered to get the brochure for Mo Yao, and specially took a booklet with a lot of names of people she knew, and she had already understood the law of Mo Yao's splitting of the Jinwu Guard through this booklet.

Both Neiwu and Junwu are in the same booklet, and Outer Wu is in another booklet.

Those who were assigned to Daying in the suburbs of Beijing were all foreigners.

Combining the new emperor is just splitting up the Jinwu Guard, but not changing the duties of the Jinwu Guard. Her father should be fine for the time being.

Princess Xuanwei cast a loving look at Mo Yao, and the hand that rubbed the ink was stronger than before.

She thought that after the late emperor left, she and her father would become grasshoppers in the autumn, but now it seems that there is still hope, at least the new emperor is willing to use her father.

I hope she and her father can live until the new emperor no longer needs her father. She will take her father away from Chang'an and never come back.

Princess Xuanwei's filial piety was quickly exhausted by more and more booklets and seemingly endless ink around her. She took advantage of Mo Yao's lowered head to concentrate on copying the roster, and quietly put down the almost empty ink sticks , tiptoeing back towards the door.

During this period, Princess Xuanwei had to be careful not to touch the boxes randomly placed everywhere, but also to avoid the roster that was still not completely dried.

After finally leaving the study, Princess Xuanwei breathed a sigh of relief, looked around for a week, and walked towards Ji Jingyu Palace.

King Ling is always bullied by courtiers, which shows her ability to rule all kinds of disobedience.

After the sound of footsteps getting farther and farther outside completely disappeared, Mo Yao put down the brush expressionlessly, leaned against the back of the chair while rubbing his wrists, and said loudly, "Two people who are good at writing come here."

Two Neiwu who were only dressed in commoner clothes quietly appeared at the door of the study room, like agile cats, they walked around various obstacles and walked in front of Mo Yao, "General."

Mo Yao threw the booklet he had transcribed half in front of the two of them respectively, held up the Jinwu Guard roster with his left hand, and said concisely, "I read the name, you write."

"Yes." The two of them sorted out the booklet in their hands at the same time, and immediately recognized the ink stains on it. Shock flashed in their eyes, and they dipped their pens in the ink with a pious attitude.

Who in Neiwu doesn't know that the general hates writing the most, and this list was copied by the General Labor himself, it must be a secret among secrets!

When the courtiers heard that the new emperor changed Chang'an's defenses, re-established the Qianniu Guard and the Habayashi Guard, established a new camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and split up the Jinwu Guard, they were all guessing when Mo Yao would be sentenced to death, what happened to them and the forces behind them? Is there any chance to arrange manpower in Jinwu Guard or Qianniu Guard, Habayashi Guard, and the camp in the suburbs of Beijing to contaminate military power.

Ji Xinxue was different. He was more concerned about where the new emperor, who was already poor and bluntly said that he couldn't even afford a concubine, would get his military salary.

The Gyeonggi guards who have been merged into Qianniuwei and Habayashiwei originally belonged to their prefectures, but were temporarily dispatched to Chang'an, and the original prefectures still paid them military salaries.

After the new emperor completely left the guards in Gyeonggi in Chang'an, the original states of the guards would have to recruit soldiers again, and they would definitely not be responsible for the military salaries of these people.

Seeing that there are still two months before the Chinese New Year, where can the new emperor get the rewards for the Jinwu Guard, Qianniu Guard, Habayashi Guard and Beijing Suburb Daying?

After much deliberation, Ji Xinxue could only think of a way to make the new emperor suddenly rich.

Copy home.

The richest person in Chang'an is... Yu Heng.

"Ah!" Ji Xinxue raised his head to the sky and screamed, covering his head in pain.

Regardless of whether the richest person in Chang'an is Yu Heng or not, stealing his family and getting rich is a choice only made when there is no way out.

Ji Xinxue remembered the jokes she heard before crossing over, and decided to change her way of thinking. She went to the study and opened the law that Tuo Jicheng found, staring at the words 'salt' and 'iron' thoughtfully. .

He put down the law, took out the map from behind the Babao grid and spread it on the table.

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Xinxue put away the map expressionlessly. He couldn't remember where there was an iron mine.

He only knew that there were a few large gold mines on the peninsula of a certain province, but he didn't know if these gold mines were mined in this era. The location should be Laizhou, Dao, Henan.

It's a pity that thanks to Emperor Yanguang's gift, Ji Xinxue doesn't know whether Laizhou will respond to the new emperor's decree.

Far gold can't quench near thirst.

After Ji Xinxue put the map back to its original position, she asked Qingyun to go to the kitchen to get a jar of salt.

The salt that Qingyun brought was far from the salt in Ji Xinxue’s memory. It was yellowish in color and not pure in taste. Although it did not have obvious bitterness, there was a strange feeling that could not be described. It seemed to be closer to bitterness than bitterness. In terms of astringency, the particles cannot be as delicate as snowflakes, and the size is very uneven.

"Is the imperial palace already unable to afford salt?" Ji Xinxue was shocked.

"Princess, don't talk nonsense." Qing Yun was dissatisfied, "This is a tribute sent from Jiangnan!"

Ji Xinxue's expression gradually turned into disgust.

If he purifies it himself, it will be more 'exquisite' than this salt.

In order to verify whether the salt of this era is the same as the salt he is familiar with, Ji Xinxue built a set of tools that can be used for simple filtration and distillation, and tried to purify it with the salt Qingyun gave him.

Because Ji Xinxue has theoretical knowledge and almost no practice, the purification process is extremely long. After countless failures, Ji Xinxue finally obtained salt that is still not delicate enough, but has no bitter taste.

Not only Qingyun made a fuss about it, but even Caishi, who has always been steady, felt that he was dreaming.

When Ji Xinxue saw the reaction of the servants in the palace, he really believed that the palace was so unbearable.

This is the first time he has seen salt in this era. Before today, even if he grilled meat by himself, there was already prepared barbecue sauce. Ji Xinxue had no chance to see salt at all.

Due to the urging of the servants, Ji Xinxue had no choice but to immediately dedicate the 'miracle' to the new emperor, until standing in front of the new emperor, Ji Xinxue could still see the trace of speechlessness on his face.

"Aren't you happy to see me?" Xindi raised his hand, skillfully pinching Ji Xinxue's face.

"Happy!" Ji Xinxue quickly grabbed Xindi's wrist, "Aye, I brought you something good!"

"Hmm." The new emperor responded, the guilty conscience on Ji Xinxue's face was too obvious, and the new emperor had already guessed in his heart what trouble Ji Xinxue had caused.

Could it be that Feng Lang had discovered the clues and could no longer hide his gender from Feng Lang?

The new emperor raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at Ji Xinxue with tolerance and kindness in his eyes. He actually thought it was good, lest he feel that these two people were tired of being in the same place all day long.

Ji Xinxue knew nothing about Xindi's thoughts, endured the embarrassment and took out the porcelain bottle in her sleeve pocket and put it on the palm of her hand.

The new emperor still remembered the shock Ji Xinxue's Mai Tai bowl brought him, so he didn't touch the porcelain vase rashly.

Ji Xinxue has done a lot of psychological construction, but in the end she still can't confidently say that a bag of ninety cents is a miracle. She is afraid that the new emperor will laugh at him, so she will first blame others.

"I... the things I messed around with, the servants in the temple insisted that they were miracles, so let me dedicate them to you right away." Before she finished speaking, Ji Xinxue bowed her head in shame.

When Aye ascended the throne, he never expected that he could do some 'miracles' to celebrate.

When the new emperor heard the word 'miracle', he immediately thought of 'miracle medicine', his eyelids twitched violently, and he leaned back on the chair, "Are you dreaming again?"

Ji Xinxue honestly shook her head, "No.

He suddenly realized that something was wrong, he raised his head suddenly, and found that Xindi was sitting closest to the back of the chair, staring at the porcelain vase in his palm with disgust.

This expression and posture are exactly the same as when he saw the toadstool bowl.

Ji Xinxue almost couldn't hold back the sudden laughter.

He bit the tender meat on the side of his cheek to barely hold back his smile, and said in a muffled voice, "This is the salt I refined by filtering and distilling."

Xindi's tense body relaxed slightly, he took the porcelain vase in Ji Xinxue's hand with one hand, and held Ji Xinxue in his arms with the other hand.

He knew about filtration and distillation. In order to redeem fruit wine from him, Ji Xinxue specially drew a strange drawing that could brew spirits. The notes on the drawing had the words filtration and distillation.

After pulling out the cork, the delicate snow-white particles flowed into Xindi's palm along the mouth of the bottle, causing Xindi to look surprised. He dipped his fingers into some powder that looked shiny in the sun and licked it into his mouth.

Very pure salty taste, almost no bitterness or astringency.

Without waiting for the new emperor to ask, Ji Xinxue told the new emperor the process of purifying the salt in one breath, and asked impatiently, "Aye, can I exchange this fine salt for you?"

The so-called tribute salt from the south of the Yangtze River is like that, and the folk salt will only be worse. If the fine salt is sold to the folk, at least it can kill wealthy businessmen who are not short of money.

"Exchange money for me?" Xindi looked at Ji Xinxue thoughtfully, and said slowly, "I said, why are you so weird recently? Even Mingtong refuses to make new clothes and jewelry. Save me money?"

Ji Xinxue showed a cute smile, trying to play dumb.

Anyway, he didn't tell anyone about the new emperor's lack of money, but he couldn't guarantee whether Ji Jingyu had told anyone about it.Ji Minyan and the others must not be able to hide the fact that the new emperor cried poorly with his courtiers on the matter of accepting the harem.

Taking advantage of Ji Xinxue's defenselessness, the new emperor ruthlessly rubbed Ji Xinxue's bun with his iron hands, and the dragon's heart was overjoyed, "If you have the heart, I will give you another two thousand households if I have a chance."

Ji Xinxue suddenly had a new worry. Could it be that the new emperor was so happy to add food for him because he already knew that he would not be able to afford it?

But his fiefdom is in Shangzhou, the eastern province of Shannan, next to Gyeonggi-do, so there should be...no problem?

The new emperor was amused by Ji Xinxue's worried appearance, and stroked the hair on Ji Xinxue's head, promising, "Your food will be delivered on time every year."

Ji Xinxue showed embarrassment, "Give all the food to Aye, and give it to me when Aye is no longer short of money."

"No, I'm really short of money, and you can't make up for it with a little food." The new emperor raised the corner of his mouth, and rubbed Ji Xinxue's head again.

As the new emperor, he was very poor, and only inherited the treasury and private treasury that could almost run horses.

But in a short time, he will not be short of money.

Before the first emperor wiped out his private treasury, according to the standards of the Jinwuwei Association to continue to expand, he left enough money to pay the Jinwuwei for 20 years.

In a short period of time, there will be no problem with the military pay of the Jinwu Guard and the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

As early as three years ago, Xindi sent people to Jiangnan to open a winery. As long as the seller wants and pays enough money, he can order any strong fruit wine or spirits one year in advance.

Now Jiangnan Winery is at a time when it is making a lot of money. Not only is it more than enough to support Qianniuwei and Yubayashiwei, but it can also continue to expand the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

When Emperor Yanguang was there, he had ordered not to leave Chang'an.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation improved slightly, and the north and Jiannan Road, which was fighting against Nanzhao, gradually began to respond to news from Chang'an.

The other Taoist governments in the south only sent people to Chang'an to send greetings to Chang'an when the new emperor first came to the throne. Since then, they have never responded to Chang'an's decrees, and have never sent routine greetings to Chang'an.

In order to reverse this situation in the future, some extraordinary measures will have to be used.

The money for raising soldiers must not be moved.

The new emperor didn't want to waste money in extra places, so he cried poorly with his courtiers from time to time.

After hearing what the new emperor said, Ji Xinxue thought that the new emperor had the entire Yu dynasty to support, instead of being relieved, she was even more worried.

When he read the law, he already knew that the Yu Dynasty was under the official salt system, and it was forbidden to sell salt privately, and the price of salt in various places was regulated by the government.

It's a pity that it's useless, because the price of salt in the Yu Dynasty is not as high as Ji Xinxue imagined, it's only equal to the food, and he even wonders if the court is selling salt at a loss.

Thinking of this, Ji Xinxue sighed heavily again.

No, the national treasury is already miserable, and it must not lose money again.

"Aye, is the way to make salt today is boiling salt or drying salt?" Ji Xinxue carefully recalled the knowledge he had learned before, hoping to help Xindi.

The new emperor knew that Ji Xinxue liked to read miscellaneous books, so he was not surprised why Ji Xinxue knew how to boil and dry salt. He replied, "There is a salt field in Dengzhou, the east of Shannan, which can be used by the people in the north. The scale of salt in Jizhou, the west of Jiangnan It’s smaller, but there are other salt farms around, so it’s not a problem to supply the south with salt.”

"Ah..." Ji Xinxue let out a voice that he didn't know whether it was disappointment or sigh. He finally came up with the idea of ​​saving costs by drying salt instead of boiling salt, so he was stillborn.

However, there is still room for improvement that sea salt can be dried faster than well water, but Ji Xinxue already knows that the south will ignore the new emperor's decree and remind the south that they can use sea salt instead of well salt. ?

Ji Xinxue collapsed on Xindi's arm in exhaustion, leaving only one last idea to get rich, "Aye, let me go to Laizhou to find you a gold mine."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xindi reached out and tapped Ji Xinxue's forehead, "Whoever discovered the gold mine didn't tell the government and didn't dig it, but wrote it in the travel notes? It must be a fool."

Ji Xinxue was speechless to Xindi's ridicule, and said in a self-defeating manner, "Actually, I had a dream. Someone told me that there is more than one big gold mine in Laizhou. Why don't Aye send someone to look for it?"

"Oh, then next time you ask that person where there is a silver mine? It's better to be closer." Xindi coaxed Ji Xinxue casually.

Silver mine...?

Ji Xinxue straightened her upper body suddenly, and the head that had been kneaded into a chicken coop by Xindi unceremoniously hit Xindi's chin, and there was a loud noise that made Songnian in the corner look sideways.

"Aye, I remembered, there is indeed a silver mine!" Ji Xinxue grabbed Xindi's hand covering his chin with both hands, and said incoherently excitedly, "It's in Shanxi, no, it's in Shannan Dongdao! There are also near Luoyang, the accompanying capital. !"

Flash West Zhashui!

And He Nan Nanyang!

Song Nian had to interrupt the excited Ji Xinxue, and the calm and calm person was rarely at a loss, "Don't get excited, slave, look at your majesty's chin."

Ji Xinxue blinked, only to realize that he was kneeling on Xindi's lap and holding Xindi's hands tightly. Xindi's face was full of pain, and he was looking at him with extreme annoyance.

Surprise appeared on his face, and he asked with concern, "Aye, what's wrong with you?"

Xindi closed his eyes, not wanting to see Ji Xinxue's face again for a short time.

Songnian let out a muffled cough, and said vaguely, "You give way first?"

Ji Xinxue nodded, let go of Xindi's wrist and jumped to the ground, seeing obvious red marks on Xindi's wrist, she smiled embarrassingly.

With his strength, he definitely couldn't restrain the new emperor. It was because the new emperor couldn't bear to see him fall that he didn't struggle.

Song Nian blocked Ji Xinxue's sight, held Xindi's face with both hands and made a crisp 'cracking' sound.

Ji Xinxue was frightened, strode around to Songnian's side, "What's wrong?"

The new emperor rubbed his chin, looked at Ji Xinxue quietly, and said lightly, "It's okay, it's dislocated."

"How could it be so good..." Dislocated?

Ji Xinxue silently shut up under Xindi's increasingly horrifying gaze, and raised her hand to cover the top of her head that was throbbing with pain.

He seemed to remember something.

Ji Xinxue, who was belatedly started to feel a headache, backed away again and again, and said with difficulty, "Aye, I remembered...I remembered that Yu Heng is still waiting for me!"

After speaking, Ji Xinxue turned around and ran away, as if chasing a tiger down the mountain behind her.

Ji Xinxue didn't dare to stay within the scope of Fengxiang Palace, and would rather go back to her bedroom immediately with her hair like a chicken coop.

He hastily pinned the silk flower hidden in his sleeve pocket on his head, and ran towards the bedroom in a hurry, almost colliding with another group of people at the door of the bedroom.

Fortunately, Ji Xinxue has been diligent in practicing the whip recently, after all, her physical fitness has improved compared to before, so she can stop in time.

Seeing who it was, Ji Xinxue revealed surprise, "Yan Meng! Bijuan!"

They finally came back from the palace.

After entering the bedroom, Ji Xinxue asked the two of them to wait for a while, and went back to the house to let Caishi comb his hair again, tie a hairband decorated with gold, silver and gemstones, and then hurried back to the flower hall.

Just now he had noticed that Bijuan was a bit sloppy when walking fast, and while sad, he was even more fortunate that Bijuan survived.

After being afraid of ghosts, Bijuan is no longer suitable to go out with him, and just stays in the palace to discipline the little maid so that her legs and feet won't get hurt.

No matter whether Bijuan wants to be an aunt or marry out of the palace in the future, he will not let Bijuan feel wronged.

Bijuan insisted on kowtow to Ji Xinxue, and called "Princess" with tears in her eyes, and was helped up by Qingyun and Caishi, and she withdrew to talk to Qingyun.

Ji Xinxue smiled and looked at Miss Yan who was still taciturn, "Have you visited Concubine Yan? Grandma said that concubines will be released from the palace in three years. If Empress Dowager Jiang doesn't stop her, Concubine Yan can also leave the palace. "

It's a pity that she can't marry again, unless Concubine Yan is willing to give up her current identity.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Yan Meng's mouth. She looked like Concubine Yan.
