[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

Even the emperor spoke, Jia Yan naturally prepared carefully.Since this Chen Jiao is closer to the emperor's biological mother, it is necessary to add makeup to Xue Baoqin.Of course, it can't be too much, it looks too eye-catching.

In the end, Jia Yan added [-]% more makeup to Xue Baoqin than Xue Baochai.

This made the Chen family very satisfied, and also made sister Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin grateful, but it made the Wei family mutter more and more in private.Although it is said that Wei Ruolan is the first wife's legitimate son, and Wei Ruolan's stepmother also has her own son, Wei Ruolan's marriage is mainly decided by Wei Ruolan's father, and the wife of the Wei family has no chance to intervene and start over. In the end, there was no extra word at all.

Mrs. Wei's family still hoped that Wei's family could get some benefits from Wei Ruolan's marriage, and she would even bring Enze's own son. Therefore, Mrs. Wei's family cared more than Wei Ruolan about the fact that the queen did not give Shi Xiangyun any makeup.

No, Wei Ruolan even refused to go home with Muxiu, so Mrs. Wei couldn't sit still.She specially dispatched her confidants to take care of things, so to put it bluntly, Wei Ruolan returned home after a few days.

After Wei Ruolan returned home, the first thing she did was go to the room to greet her parents and inform them of her safe return.

Mrs. Wei's family said: "Lan'er, I should have given you a good night's rest and looked for you tomorrow, but..."

Wei Ruolan said: "Mother, if what you said was that the second daughter of the Xue family also got her makeup, my son already knows about it."

Mrs. Wei's family was startled, she glanced at her husband, and then said cautiously: "Lan'er, I just inquired about something by accident, but I don't know if I should tell it or not."

"Mother just said so."

Then the wife of the Wei family said: "I heard that at the beginning of the old year, your daughter-in-law, like the sisters of the Xue family, lived with the mother in the Grand View Garden. But for some reason, one year, the mother lost her temper. Forcibly sent your daughter-in-law back to the Shi family."

"Then, it should be when the empress did not enter the palace, right?"

Wei Ruolan's father frowned and stroked his beard.

The wife of the Wei family said: "Yes, master. I heard that this is not long after the empress was hired by the royal family. It has been several years, so the outside world is not very clear."

The wife of the Wei family is most worried about being angered by her husband.

According to the family status of the Wei family, Wei Ruolan is more than enough to match Shi Xiangyun.If there is no Jia Yan, the wife of the Wei family might still be harshly criticized by others for being mean. The stepson found Shi Xiangyun, whose parents both died and who had a bad relationship with the two uncles of her natal family. This marriage is just a glamorous affair.But with Jia Yan's relationship, others will only say that the Wei family has worked hard for Wei Ruolan's marriage.

In fact, if she didn't marry Shi Xiangyun, Wei Ruolan still had Xichun to choose from. It's just that the Wei family didn't like the family style of Jia Zhen and Ningguo Mansion, so they chose the Shi family. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Compared with the Jia family and the two masters of the Shi family, they are called sensible people.

Wei Ruolan hurriedly clasped her fists in greeting to the wife of the Wei family: "Mother, a man's ambition is everywhere, how can he entrust his future on a woman's skirt? As for Shi Shi," Wei Ruolan couldn't help frowning at this point , Said: "Just when there is such a twist in fate."

Only then did Wei Ruolan's father speak, "Then, what are your plans?"

After all, he, the father, personally found this marriage for his son.

Wei Ruolan thought for a while, and said, "Father, my son intends to seek release."

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, there's nothing more to say as a father."

Wei Ruolan's father quickly asked his son to go down to rest.As soon as Wei Ruolan left, he immediately asked his wife to prepare gifts and send greeting cards to Qingronghou Mansion.

Although their family did not have much contact with the Qingronghou Mansion, but for the sake of their son's future, they could not bow their heads.

After Madam Xing received the gift, she was puzzled and had to discuss it with Liu Dianshi beside her.

Liu Dianshi was the female official Jia Yan invited for Mrs. Xing to help Mrs. Xing deal with many matters in the inner house. After hearing Mrs. Xing's doubts, she told Mrs. Xing her analysis and suggested that Mrs. Xing enter the house next time. Before going to the palace, I will meet Mrs. Wei's family first.

Mrs. Xing is now the emperor's mother-in-law, and there are many ladies waiting to visit her outside, including the wife of the Wei family.Therefore, after reporting to Jia Amnesty, I met Mrs. Wei's family.After knowing the purpose of Mrs. Wei's visit, she first asked her husband's opinion, and the husband agreed, and then came to the palace and told Jia Yan about it.

After Jia Yan heard about it, he laughed immediately: "There is such a thing? Don't worry, mother, Wansui already knows about this matter. As for Wansui's arrangements, I don't know. Mother will let the Wei family feel at ease Just wait a while."

After Mrs. Xing got the word, she went to tell the wife of the Wei family that she and the whole family of the Wei family were overjoyed. After the emperor appointed Wei Ruolan, the Wei family sent another generous gift to the Jia family. one's gift.

Not to mention the turmoil outside, let’s talk about this kilometer, Youdao was a fool for three years, and Jia Yan was a fool for six years. Recently, he finally picked up his old shrewdness.

She began to study those mansion newspapers intensively, extracting useful information from them.On weekdays, when I have free time, I go to the Imperial Garden and think quietly about the next work.

On this day, when Jia Yan was strolling on the Mingyue Bridge again, he happened to see the emperor walking with people from the other side.Anyone who is not blind can tell that the emperor is in a good mood.

Jia Yan immediately bowed to the emperor to salute, and then said: "Long live is very happy today, but something good happened?"

"That's right. It's indeed a good thing. The queen might as well make a guess."

Jia Yan lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Ah, I guessed that the ship to Dongying must have returned, and it also brought a large sum of gold."

"Hey~ Empress, this, this really can't be hidden from you."

For this kind of government affairs, Jia Yan is the most in tune with the emperor in the palace.

"Look at what Wansui said. I heard about Dongying in the early years, but I couldn't do it, so I had to put it aside. I heard that this place is rich in gold, but the local casting technology is not up to standard. Therefore, Dongying The copper coins used by the common people were from the Jin Dynasty. When Master Yan visited my father in the past, he said that if the trade route from the Central Plains to Japan can be opened, you can earn a lot of money by exchanging copper coins for gold or silver. It's full. If it wasn't for the imperial court's ban on the sea, I'm afraid I couldn't help but mention this to my father back then." @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

"Sure enough, it's the queen! That's right, it was Yan Kuan who personally took people to Dongying, and brought back nearly ten thousand taels of gold more than I expected." @无限好文，全在晋江文学城

Jia Yan said: "Long live, did Master Yan say anything else?"

"what?"

Jia Yan said: "Everyone who seeks life at sea knows that there is a lot of rain in Japan, Ryukyu and other places. Ryukyu is known as the capital of rain, and it rains 360 days out of 180 days a year. Japan does not give in too much. Therefore, whether it is Ryukyu or Japan, There is no large-scale drying of salt, and there are no large-scale iron mines in these two places, even if they are close to the sea, salt is as precious to them. Have you ever thought about exchanging salt for gold?"

"You mean, build a saltworks?"

"Yes. I remember that there is a method of drying salt in ancient books. In the land of Qilu, as early as the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, all countries were rich because of salt. If you build a salt drying farm along the coast of Qilu, it will be a bonanza."

For the families of the subjects, they still have to consider the salt and iron official camp, but for the emperor, because he is the emperor, many taboos are not taboos for him.

The emperor said: "But, it's not good, is it? Moreover, when Jianzhen went eastward, he failed several times because of the strong wind at sea."

Jia Yan said: "Your Majesty, this is also easy. As long as we can settle Goguryeo, we can go to the sea through Goguryeo. That will reduce a lot of risk. Or,"

"Or what?"

"Recover Vladivostok from the hands of the Blackwater Tatars."

The emperor was dumbfounded: "Empress, do you know what you are talking about?"

Jia Yan said with a smile: "Long live, have you forgotten that my natal family was originally the home of military generals. I remember that when I was about this little old, I heard my drunk father say that generals like to fight because they can let them fight. Get promoted and get rich."

If the wishes of the generals are fulfilled, the hearts of the generals can be won, and the military power can be mastered.The emperor knew better than anyone else that whether he was the Supreme Emperor or not, if they needed to stabilize their imperial power, they had to firmly hold military power in their hands.

In the past few years, their work content was centered on Yuzhou, but now, it is time to expand the scope of work.

"Queen, Goguryeo has always been my vassal state in the Central Plains. Is it not good to accuse Goguryeo for no reason?"

Jia Yan said: "Long live, if this Goguryeo has a heart of disobedience, but because of insufficient strength, why not go dormant for now?"

"what do you mean……"

"Goguryeo was originally the four counties of Lelang in our Central Plains, wasn't it? Just like the northern grassland tribes, when the Central Plains was strong, they bowed their heads to the Central Plains, and when the Central Plains was weak, they would make trouble behind their backs. The North Sea area. Your Majesty, can you guarantee that this country has no wolf ambitions?"

The emperor said: "However, without a valid reason, we cannot persuade the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council."

Jia Yan said: "Your Majesty, how about using profit to lure him?"

The emperor said: "You mean, the salt field?"

"Yes. And it must be a salt farm."

Only the sun-dried salt field can harvest enough salt at one go, requires less manpower, and the natural defense force is weak. In addition, the sun-dried salt field can't run away, which will arouse the surrounding forces to move around.

The emperor thought for a while and said with a smile: "Queen, you have finally recovered."

In the past few years, no, it should be said that after beating Jia Yan and entering the palace, he never discussed these important military and political issues with him.To be honest, the emperor is really not used to it.

Jia Yan smiled and said, "What did Long live say? Why can't I understand."

"Do you want me to open the skylight and speak honestly?"

"Long live still talking. If there is no emperor, how can I dare to speak? You are not afraid of Yushitai, I still have a headache."

"Hahaha, don't say it, queen, I am afraid of them too."

While the husband and wife were chatting and laughing, they saw Mrs. Zhu bringing someone over from there.

The author has something to say:

Catch bugs.
