Chapter 153: Honor in Troubled Times 121

Xiao Ying came out of Fengqi Palace and returned to his palace, before he sat down, the maid gave him a plate of kumquats.

"Your Highness, this is from below, Your Majesty asked Your Highness to send some for Your Highness to taste. ”

Xiao Ying took an orange and peeled it while thinking about what An Ning said.

He said: "Benevolence, man, people-oriented." ”

The more she thought about it, the more Xiao Ying felt that something was wrong.

If the true benevolent people want the people of the world to live a good life, then the best way should be to attack Jiangbei as soon as possible, suppress the rivers and mountains of the Great Qi, unify the rivers and mountains, and then implement the policies of the south of the Yangtze River, which is really beneficial to the people.

While casualties are inevitable, they can be minimized if they are fast.

But now it seems a bit unreasonable to supply Jiangbei with food like this.

If this goes on for a long time, can it be said that the grain in the south of the Yangtze River will be used every year for the consumption of the monarchs and ministers in the north of the Yangtze River?

What time of day is the head?

Xiao Ying frowned, and tapped her fingers on the table, day by day, year by year......

He suddenly slapped the table and stood up: "I see, I see, I see." ”

He couldn't sit down anymore, so he hurriedly ran to the Qinzheng Hall to find Xiao Yuan.

"Father. ”

Xiao Ying trotted over, and before she had time to wipe her sweat when she entered the house, she hurriedly said, "Father, my son understands." ”

"Sit. ”

Xiao Yuan smiled and pointed to the chair opposite.

Xiao Ying immediately sat down.

Xiao Dezi, who was following Xiao Yuan, brought a glass of water to Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying took it and took a sip: "Father, the sons have figured it out, the queen mother transported grain to Jiangbei because she couldn't bear to see the people hungry, and secondly, she wanted the monarchs and ministers of Jiangbei to become dependent on us in Jiangnan." ”

We have a lot of grain production in Jiangnan now, Jiangnan has just ended the war, the people have suffered a lot of casualties, the population is somewhat withered, we can't eat so much grain, the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, if there is too much grain, the price of grain will be reduced, and the people will suffer at that time.

But Jiangbei is now extremely short of grain, let's transport the grain from the south of the Yangtze River, firstly, to solve the rich grain in the south of the Yangtze River, and not to let the price of grain in the south of the Yangtze River drop again and again.

Second, let the people of Jiangbei survive.

Xiao Yuan smiled and nodded: "Well, you're right, keep talking." ”

Xiao Ying had some confidence, and he laughed: "There is a third point, I heard that the grain in Jiangbei is very expensive, and the grain in our Jiangnan will be transported over, which will impact the grain market in Jiangbei, and let some grain merchants take the initiative to buy our grain in Jiangnan in order to make money, and come and go, it will make Jiangbei dependent on our Jiangnan, and it will be okay for a year or two, if they let them eat our Jiangnan grain for many years, if one day we Jiangnan cut off the supply ......"

Xiao Ying stopped and looked at Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan got up and walked to Xiao Ying's side, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "It's not easy for you to think of this, it's very good, you have to think more about everything you do in the future, think about the deep meaning behind these things." ”

"Hmm. ”

Xiao Ying nodded heavily, he was recognized and appreciated by Xiao Yuan, and he was very proud in his heart.

When Xiao Yuan sat down again, he put the folds aside, and Xiao Dezi added some refreshments to the imperial case.

He grabbed a handful of dried fruits and leaned back in the wide chair: "There is one more thing you didn't say. ”

"One more point?"

Xiao Ying was a little confused.

Xiao Yuan ate a few dried fruits: "Xiao Dezi, send some of the preserved fruits to Pingyang, and send the dates to Zhaoyang, and the thin-skinned walnuts and hazelnuts from Jiangbei will be divided between Chuyang, Leyang, and Fengyang." ”

Xiao Dezi smiled and agreed, and went down to let people send things to the palaces.

Xiao Yuan saw that Xiao Ying couldn't think of it for a while, and couldn't bear him to think about it for a while, so he mentioned it: "This last and most important point is the people's heart, your mother is like this, she is praising the people's heart for me, let's transport grain year after year, stabilize the price of grain in Jiangbei, aren't the people in Jiangbei grateful?

A cold sweat broke out on Xiao Ying's forehead as she listened.

Yes, with such an accumulation of popularity, Emperor Jingqing is really helpless.

Jiangbei depends on the grain of Jiangnan, if Emperor Jingqing does not let him receive the grain of Jiangnan, then he can only wait for the people of Jiangbei to starve to death.

Xiao Ying thought that he had hidden so much attention to the small matter of transporting grain, and he was proud when he thought of three o'clock just now, and he didn't even think of the most important point, so he only felt that he was very powerful, which was unacceptable.

He thought that he still had to study hard in the future, and he couldn't disappoint his father and queen mother.

"It's getting late, let's go down and rest. ”

Xiao Yuan waited for a while and then drove Xiao Ying out.

Xiao Ying got up and exited the Qinzheng Palace.

He just wanted to go back, and he didn't want to run into Princess Fengyang head-on.

"Brother. ”

Feng Yang saw Xiao Ying and smiled and went over to say hello.

Xiao Ying raised her hand and wanted to touch Feng Yang's head, but she thought that her sister had grown up, not like when she was a child, so she put down her hand: "Feng Yang, what is this doing?"

Feng Yang smiled: "I miss my father, come and talk to my father." ”

Xiao Ying grabbed Feng Yang: "Father is going to rest, my father has dealt with a lot of government affairs today, I'm afraid I'm tired at this time, you can come to see your father tomorrow." ”

"Good. ”

Feng Yang agreed with a smile: "Brother also came to talk to his father?"

Xiao Ying snorted and walked forward with some contemplation on her face.

Feng Yang followed him and asked, "What did my brother and father say?"

Xiao Ying didn't hide it from Feng Yang, and said all the questions and answers in the hall word by word.

Feng Yang also pondered for a long time after hearing this: "The queen mother's move is indeed profound, and I didn't expect it before. ”

She walked a few steps and suddenly smiled, "Yes, it should be so." ”

"What?"

Xiao Ying was stunned for a moment.

Feng Yang said: "I thought of it, the newspaper we sent to Jiangbei has to be changed, and tomorrow I will have people typeset, and make a special page to publicize the benevolence of the father, the queen and the queen mother, so as to add points to the mother's behavior of transporting grain." ”

Xiao Ying was stunned for a while, and after a while, she shook her head with a wry smile: "If my sister is a man, it would be fine, and the country would have an inheritance." ”

Feng Yang pouted: "What if I'm a woman? I just don't want to pick up this burden, I don't want to live a boring life, otherwise, I have to fight, brother don't say anything if it's a man in the future, do you care about men and women when you are a father, what your father cares about is the heart." ”

She continued: "The father and the emperor will not say anything about the heir, he chooses the right person, and the brother is suitable, so he chooses the elder brother." ”

Xiao Ying smiled: "Yes, what my sister said is that I won't say anything about boys and daughters in the future, it's just, what does my sister want to do in the future?"

Feng Yang took Xiao Ying's hand and said as he walked: "I, I want to let my father or brother build me a beautiful princess mansion in the future, I will be a rice worm in the princess's mansion, I can eat whatever I want every day, do whatever I want, and ah, I raise a few beautiful men in the princess's mansion, and talk about love in my spare time, and those days are beautiful." ”

Xiao Ying smiled again.

He didn't say that his sister's idea was bad, nor did he accuse Feng Yang of being too unruly and unorthodox.

"Okay, then my brother has to work hard, and in the future, I will get my sister a beautiful princess mansion, and I will choose the most beautiful man in the world for you.
