[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

Liu Fu is indeed a wonderful person, he doesn't have that kind of excess self-esteem. Although Feng Yu said she was a princess, she didn't show any domineering attitude. Now that she is married, she should naturally live a good life.Therefore, even if they went to see Liuhou and his wife at Liguogong Mansion the next day, both of them behaved very harmoniously, which made Liu Fang and Liu Ying feel a little depressed. The high-ranking gesture was rather friendly and polite, which undoubtedly made the two who thought that Liu Fu would be subdued to the princess when he turned around, feel a little uncomfortable.Sometimes human nature is like this, seeing people who don't deal with it so well is more uncomfortable than yourself.Master Liu Hou was quite happy, thinking about whether he could use the name of the princess to gain some benefits for his family, but Mrs. Hou secretly broke the stage and told Liu Fu in private that he would live a good life with the princess in the princess mansion from now on. Don't go back to the government office!

Liu Fu also feels that life is very good now. In the Princess Mansion, everyone is very close to him, unlike in the Liguo Mansion. Everyone knows that the heir in the mansion is his elder brother Liu Fang, and he is the stepmother. Moreover, the mother does not have the right to housekeeper. Although she is doing well to the outside world, in fact, Liu Fu's mother and son are a bit aggrieved in the Duke's mansion.In other words, people in Liguo's mansion don't really regard Liu Fu's mother and son as their own.If Mrs. Hou had no children, she could use filial piety to control her stepson, but she had her own son. She was jealous of her, and she was happy for a while. Later, when Lord Liu Hou was gone, her son would be reduced to a fish on the chopping board.Therefore, in these years, even if life is not happy, Mrs. Hou can only live with it. At most, she asks Liu Fu to find a reason to withdraw more money from the public account and find a way to turn it into her own private house.

But when they arrived at the Princess Mansion, although most of the servants of the Princess Mansion came from the palace, they all treated him respectfully and affectionately, "Master Consort", and did not treat him as an outsider. He asked him what plans he had for the future, and Liu Fu didn't think too much about it, so he smiled and said, "I have a princess, what else do I need to plan, if you are down-to-earth to be your son-in-law, you will be rich and honored for a lifetime!"

Feng Yu is also very frank, if Liu Fu doesn't want to make progress and just wants to enjoy the thrush in the boudoir, that's fine, but that doesn't prevent him from being an official, and there are some things in the princess mansion that the chief manager of the mansion always asks It's not good for Shi to come forward, so he will have to bother him as a son-in-law when the time comes, so Feng Yu asked Liu Fu what kind of official position he wanted. I can't bear any constraints, so, if I don't want to just take a job in the East Palace, my uncle can't just click every day!

Liu Fu knew very well in his heart that if he married Feng Yu, he would naturally be bound to the East Palace, so there was no embarrassment in saying this.Feng Yu is very convinced that with Liu Fu's character, even if she is not a princess, it is not difficult to get ahead.However, if the Government of Liguo deliberately suppressed it, it would be difficult for Liu Fu to stand out for at least a few decades.

The husband and wife reached an agreement on this matter. After entering the palace to meet Emperor Qianyuan, Feng Yu got Liu Fu the position of Prince Sheren. Sheren is different from Zhan Shi. This position is not fixed. It is also very low. Under normal circumstances, this position is actually used to arrange some related households. Liu Fu is obviously one of the largest related households. If he is given a job as a family member, no one will object.

Feng Yu and Liu Fu both love to play and know how to play, and there are no outsiders in the Princess Mansion, the two hit it off and started to toss.Liu Fu liked to listen to operas, and when he became interested, he even sang a section by himself. Therefore, after discussing with Feng Yu, he simply bought a small theater troupe. Liu Fu originally wrote some legendary scripts in private, and it is said that they sold quite well. Yes, but it’s a pity that there is no copyright protection these days. If you publish a new book here, it won’t take long for someone to make a pirated copy over there. And at this time, you won’t be paid according to the royalties, they will just buy it out .For Liu Fu, he worked so hard to write a book, and in the end he got one or two months' money, so after doing it a few times, Liu Fu quit.But now, he was very interested, and even found a gunner, that is, found a few down-and-out literati, came up with his own ideas, asked them to fill in, and then asked the troupe to rehearse the play.

The construction of spiritual civilization in the Princess Mansion is in full swing. There are many people in Beijing who have heard of it. Some people privately begged Liu Fu, the son-in-law, for a playbook written by the son-in-law. Some even asked people from the Princess Mansion to ask if they could invite the play from the Princess Mansion. The troupe went to their own houses to sing operas, and those who were eligible to participate in the banquet held by the Princess Mansion were eagerly waiting for when the Princess Mansion would hold a banquet, and then had a good look at what the opera troupe of the Princess Mansion would be like.

It's a pity that neither Feng Yu nor Liu Fu are the kind of people who like to socialize, they prefer to play with themselves on their own territory.

After getting married, Feng Yu was much more at ease than before. Not long after she got married, the weather became colder. The chaos in the last years of the previous dynasty was affected by the climate of the Little Ice River. After the establishment of this dynasty, the climate of the Little Glacier has not really passed. The reason why everyone is able to live on is firstly that decades of continuous wars in the last years of the previous dynasty caused a large number of population losses, and secondly because of the promotion of sweet potatoes, although the production of sweet potatoes today is still far behind that of later generations, But compared to rice and wheat, it is much stronger.So even though the winter is cold this year, everyone can live a good life. For example, in the north, everyone is used to growing sweet potatoes in those fields, because the winter has become longer and colder. Even after planting a season of winter wheat, directly Replant sweet potatoes.Only rich people can grow various varieties of rice.Such as Japonica rice, rouge rice, etc. These taste good, but correspondingly, the yield is not high, and the growing season is relatively long. Therefore, only the rich and powerful will choose good land to grow these rice in Zhuangzi.For example, the royal family and the top few families even have farms dedicated to growing this kind of tribute rice in Liaodong, and the taste is even better than that in other places.But correspondingly, the output is also very impressive. For example, in the palace, the favored empress can only have the rouge rice, and the unfavored ones may not even be able to eat Japonica rice, and even the concubines can’t even eat new rice every year. Can only eat old rice.Therefore, those women in the palace, even if it is for treatment, have to strive for favor.

Feng Yu has never been short of these things. After the weather got cold, she didn't bother to continue living in the capital, so she moved directly to the hot spring village, and Liu Fu naturally followed.There is also a hot spring village in Liguogong’s mansion, but he has almost never been there. It used to be the place where the old Liguogong retired. People who came off the battlefield always had some injuries on their bodies. Hot springs are a good place to recuperate. Therefore, Emperor Taion took the entire Tangshan into his pocket, and then selected some of the hot spring villages, and gave them to those high-ranking dignitaries, and the rest were almost all divided by the prince's clan.However, over the years, there have been many clans that have gone wrong, so when Feng Yu got married, she got a hot spring village.

Emperor Qianyuan seldom came to the hot spring palace, because it is really deserted here. There is a large area of ​​farms at the foot of the mountain, a considerable part of which is actually Huangzhuang. After eating fresh fruits and vegetables, Emperor Qianyuan liked to be lively and didn't have much interest in the rural scenery. Therefore, after visiting the hot spring palace once, he had little interest in it. There are kangs in the palace anyway, and no one can freeze in the cold he.If Emperor Qianyuan didn't come, naturally those dignitaries would come less, that is, some older people would come to recuperate. Most of the other hot spring villages are now reduced to farms, which can be regarded as making the best use of their resources.

Feng Yu ran to the hot spring village with a crowd of people, also to avoid trouble.Concubine Zhen was pregnant and raised her status before, and a while ago she gave birth to a prince, Emperor Qianyuan Longyan Dayue, named this son Tu Jingyu, and then Concubine Zhen, who had just been promoted for a few months, was added The title is now Zhenfei. Although it sounds the same, having a title and not having a title are completely different things.

In addition, the Zhen family has also received generous rewards. Originally, the Zhen family was in charge of Jinling Weaving, but now they are also directly in charge of the Jiangnan Salt Administration. This is a lucrative position.Since the monopoly of salt and iron by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, salt tax has been the main source of tax revenue in all dynasties. As long as you get the salt quotation, it is equivalent to lying down and making money.After all, no matter who it is, this salt is indispensable.

One of the main sources of salt tax in Daqi is the south of the Yangtze River, and the other is the northwest. For example, on the Guanzhong side, most of the time they eat green salt from the northwest side. It is so unique there that you can dig it with just a shovel. A large lump of salt does not need to be processed, it can be regarded as refined salt.As for the well salt in the southwest, it was actually digested locally. After all, the transportation was inconvenient, and the cost of transporting the well salt there was too high.What's more, there are still many natives living there, so although there is a salt tax there, in fact, for the court, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Zhen Yingjia mastered the salt administration in the south of the Yangtze River. It can be said that a considerable part of the imperial court's finances fell into Zhen Yingjia's hands.For a while, I don't know how many people became jealous.At the beginning, Empress Yuan was so valued by Emperor Qianyuan, and Empress Yuan's natal family didn't get these benefits!In particular, since the death of the old matriarch, the Xie family has almost withdrawn from the court. Although the Xie family has a title granted by the Empress Yuan, it has no influence in the court.But as for the Zhen family, having a favorite concubine unexpectedly received such a big benefit, some speculators' eyes lit up immediately.Emperor Qianyuan is still in his prime now, and he himself was the prince who ranked lower in the previous emperor's time, so, based on this calculation, the prince born by Concubine Zhen also has a good chance!

Of course, Tu Jingyu is still young now, and no one knows whether he can grow up, but Concubine Zhen is not very old now, and with her great favor, if she can give birth to one, she can give birth to a second or even a third, so Suddenly, Concubine Zhen and even the Zhen family behind her became very popular.

The reason why Feng Yu wanted to avoid it was because the Zhen family had also gotten involved with the Duke of Li's mansion. Lord Liu Hou had an ambiguous attitude, and Liu Fang, the eldest son, had no intention of boarding the ship for the time being, but Liu Ying was with Zhen. The family is very close, and has already found an official position in the south of the Yangtze River, and will take up the post next year.The Duke of Li's mansion entertained guests with great fanfare for this matter. In order to avoid this matter, Feng Yu discussed with Liu Fu, and took this opportunity to express their attitude of parting ways with the Duke of Li's mansion.

The effect is very obvious. It is said that after receiving the post, the princess son-in-law ordered people to pack their luggage and went to the hot spring village the next day. After the news, Lord Liu directly smashed one of his favorite Ru kiln teacups.

But in the palace, when Emperor Qianyuan heard the news, his expression became a little unclear.
