The Reborn Wife is Farming

"It's a good thing for you to know how to save money." Qi Xiuyuan didn't hold back his praise. Seeing that the five children were all staring at him eagerly, he reached out and touched the tiger's head with the worst appearance, and said with a smile, "Okay, it's just children fighting. Uncle Huang won't punish you this time, but next time he can't do it so easily."

Eunuch Wan came in cautiously, lowered his head and stood below, and said, "My Majesty, Mrs. An Lehou brought her son to seek an audience outside the palace, saying that she came to apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince and the young masters."

Qi Xiuyuan's smile remained unchanged, and he asked, "Is it only the Marquis Anle's Mansion?"

"yes."

Qi Xiuyuan waved his hand and said: "Go and tell her, it's just children fighting, and it's not a serious matter, let her take the child back, don't scare the children, take some medicinal materials from the warehouse and bring them back, and give them pressure Shocked."

Eunuch Wan agreed and withdrew respectfully.

Mrs. Xu asked someone to take the things from the little eunuch's hand, and stuffed a purse into the other party. After confirming that the emperor was not furious, he was relieved, and carried the neatly dressed Qi Yue into the carriage.

The little eunuch glanced at Qi Yue, saw that he was cleanly dressed, and although there were bruises on his face, but not very serious, he knew that he had been taken care of, and nodded secretly in his heart, sending Xu away Then go to the palace to report.

After hearing this, Eunuch Wan nodded slightly, and went in to talk to the emperor.

After a while, I heard the emperor say: "Understood, you step back."

Wan Gonggong didn't dare to raise his head, and retreated respectfully, and when he reached the door, he heard An Guogong say: "Mr. Xu is quite smart, but it's a pity..."

Eunuch Wan closed the door, and the voice in the hall could not be heard at once.

Qi Haoran was puzzled and said: "What is there to regret about her? Ah Ling said that Mrs. Xu is a genius, and she doesn't like her."

Fan Zijin burst out laughing with a "puchi" and asked, "Does Ah Ling like Xiao Wu?"

Qi Haoran's expression turned ugly when he thought of the person who wanted to make trouble even without reason.

"That's it. Although Mrs. Xu is also annoying, she understands current affairs and knows who is plotting and who can only hide, little Wu." Fan Zijin curled her lips, "This person is hurt, turn around As soon as he forgets the pain, he will come out to jump and jump, and he can't die when he pats. gone."

Fan Zijin looked at Qi Xiuyuan and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you scare them again? They were not very honest before. It must be that the good times have been too many recently and they have forgotten their duty."

Qi Xiuyuan knew that he was annoyed because Qi Chong used his status as a royal family member to do evil, so Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I don't have that much time to spare, this time Xu's son was implicated by her, I don't believe that the two houses can live in peace , let Mrs. Xu deal with Mrs. Wu."

The main reason is that Qi Xiuyuan is also very disgusted with Xiao Wu, and he doesn't want to get involved in anything about him.

Fan Zijin's eyeballs rolled, and Qi Xiuyuan knew at a glance that he had a bad idea, so he picked up a book beside the couch and threw it at it, saying: "Do your errands well, leave these rear house matters to the queen and the others, You don't need to worry about it."

"Brother, will I go to Beidi this time when I return to Beijing?" Speaking of errands, Qi Haoran hurriedly asked about his elder brother's arrangements for him.

"You can stay in the capital," Qi Xiuyuan said, "I plan to release Xu Shida, the commander of the imperial army, to fill the vacant position, and give me a good drill with the imperial army, and see if I can develop a new one." Weapons, the uncle wrote to say that the pirate ships in Fuzhou area have good guns, which are very powerful. They have been defeated in a row recently. It was the second uncle who brought people to invite you into the urn and severely injured them. The area in Fuzhou is much more peaceful. I think, since the cannon can be used in Naturally, it can also be used on land, and I have already asked the two uncles to find a way to get a cannon, and you can discuss it with the Ministry of Industry later to see if it can be researched."

Qi Xiuyuan sighed, "The pirates are rampant this time, and the governor of Fuzhou asked for an order to relocate the fishermen and ban the sea and seal the customs, but my uncle told me privately that the salt production would not be guaranteed if they were to withdraw again, and the price of salt would inevitably increase." To rise, the price of salt in Fuzhou City has reached 150 Wen a dou, and in the capital it has also risen to 180 Wen a Dou, and further inwards and northwards, there are 200 Wen a Dou. I heard that In some counties, the price has risen to 250 yuan a dou, and the price of salt is not stable, although it is not as big of an impact as the price of grain, but it should not be underestimated."

Fan Zijin leaned forward slightly, "So you don't want to ban the sea?"

Of course Qi Xiuyuan didn't want to, he was a military commander, and he knew that retreating on the battlefield is the best strategy, and only taking the initiative is the best strategy, but now their navy is too weak, and they are no match for pirates at all, "I have ordered all the coastal areas to The commander intensified his military training, but we cannot always be passively beaten.”

Qi Haoran's teeth itch when he heard that, and he shouted, "Brother, let me see how powerful that pirate is."

Both Qi Xiuyuan and Fan Zijin looked at him with contempt, and asked, "Can you swim?"

Qi Haoran choked, and Qi Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said: "Sea battles are different from land battles. On land, I admit that you are good, but sea battles." Qi Xiuyuan shook his head slightly, and said, "The first and second uncles have guarded Fuzhou for many years. , until now, I dare not take the initiative to provoke those pirates. It can be seen that they are powerful. You should stay in the capital honestly. Sort out the forces in the capital."

Qi Haoran pointed to Fan Zijin and said, "Isn't Zijin always responsible for this matter?"

Qi Xiuyuan said: "Zijin has a new job, you can't rely on Zijin for everything."

"Didn't Xixia's envoy leave? What else does he have to do?"

"The envoy of Xixia has left, so he has to change to a new official position. You have to practice, and Zijin also needs to practice, so next month he will go to Guangdong to serve as the magistrate."

Qi Haoran opened his mouth wide, "How do you go to such a place where birds don't shit?"

Qi Xiuyuan spat out two words, "Get out."

The two of them were kicked out by Qi Xiuyuan, Qi Haoran touched his sore buttocks, Fan Zijin gave him a sideways look, and said, "It deserves it!"

"Didn't I complain for you?" Qi Haoran exclaimed, "I really don't know good people."

Fan Zijin snorted, "Put away your kindness. My cousin arranged this place for me to practice. Except for Fuzhou, only Guangdong has Haimao. This is my field of expertise. With my cousin's support, I can let go of my hands and feet, and Guangdong is poor, so it is easy to see political achievements, and I can go up after staying for two or three years."

Fan Zijin paused, and said: "Besides, I also have my own considerations. Our silk, tea and porcelain are very easy to sell, but due to the rampant pirates, there are very few merchants in Guangdong who go to sea by themselves, and they are all sold directly to Hong Kong. There are many foreigners who maliciously lower the price for a single order, and I went to Guangdong this time to regulate the market, and I am very interested in maritime trade."
