"Even if those commercial houses are less, we have ordered a few hundred taels of silver of grain, and the price of grain has risen rapidly during this time, and the tenfold compensation is tens of thousands of taels, even if a commercial bank is doing good business, I am afraid that it will not be able to come out with tens of thousands of taels of silver at once." If you don't get it, some of the firms will go bankrupt!"

"Actually, there is no need for the concubine to say that the prince should also know that those business houses are stumbling on us, and there must be someone behind it! I'm afraid that the status of those who support it is not low! Although the prince and the princess hid in the palace for a while, they couldn't do anything, but I'm afraid that this matter is not so easy to handle! So the prince will see if he doesn't let the princess be in front of the old queen mother~~~~!"

Although Li Hui's words were not finished, the meaning of this was self-evident, Duanmu Shuxuan touched Li Hui's hair and lowered his head and kissed the top of her head and said, "Well, I will settle the princess tomorrow for this matter!"

"Lord Wang~~!" Li Hui changed to a more comfortable position in Duanmu Shuxuan's arms and said: "What do you say about those disaster victims outside? Even if they survive this winter, what will they do when spring begins next year? Think about it, it's better for us to go to Shanyin, although there are more mountains, but there is not so much water, so you don't have to worry about flooding, although there will be occasional mudslides, but you are not afraid of some trees on a variety of trees!" And even if it is to catch up with the sky and reduce the yield of crops in the fields, there are many good things in the mountains, and it is always right to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains······ ！”

"Wait a minute~~!" Duanmu Shuxuan suddenly interrupted Li Hui's words, "You just said that there are many kinds of trees, can you plant trees to release mudslides?"

"Yes~~!" Li Hui got up and pretended to be surprised and said: "Didn't the prince find out, but all the places where mudslides often occur are mountains with fewer trees, or the local land is relatively soft, and there are generally big trees or hard places where there are few mudslides!"

"Is there such a statement?" Duanmu Shuxuan asked, grabbing Li Hui's shoulder.

"This~~!" A trace of panic flashed on Li Hui's face, but then she said firmly: "Is there such a statement that the concubine doesn't know, but the concubine has read the Shanyin log, in the past ten years, most of the places where mudslides have occurred have the above two points, or there are not many trees, or the soil is soft, or both!"

"Is this what it looks like?" Duanmu Shuxuan let go of Li Hui's shoulder, and then frowned, thinking about something.

Li Hui looked at Duanmu Shuxuan's appearance and then whispered: "Lord Wang, the concubine's hometown lives on the edge of the river embankment, and the concubine still remembers that at that time, trees were planted on the river embankment, and I heard the old man say that the purpose of planting trees on the river embankment is to use the root system of trees to strengthen the river embankment!

"Okay~~!" Duanmu Shuxuan said and picked up Li Hui and kissed her on the face, and then said to her: "You have done this king a great favor!

"Reward!" Li Hui suddenly came to her senses as soon as she heard Duanmu Shuxuan say about the reward, but she hesitated for a moment before she spoke: "Is it true that the prince can give his concubines whatever they want?"

Duanmu Shuxuan frowned slightly when he heard Li Hui ask this, could it be that Li Hui wanted something that she couldn't have? But just now he also said this, and now he is saying that it is really not good, so he can only nod his head and say: "Well, you say, as long as this king can satisfy you, this king will agree to you!"

"The concubine heard that every time the Huo family opens up the sea route, they will bring back a lot of seeds from the open sea as tribute to the imperial court, and the concubine wants those seeds, although the overseas climate is so different from ours, but if there is something that can be planted in our Shanyin, wouldn't our Shanyin be able to produce one more thing!" Li Huimei said to Duanmu Shuxuan.

Li Hui's request was not a requirement in Duanmu Shuxuan's opinion, but Li Hui's request also gave him another inspiration, and all kinds of thoughts were surging in his heart now, and he couldn't lie down at all, so he just got up directly, put on his clothes and went to Mr. Gu to discuss.

"This king has something to do now, and when I come out of the palace this time, I will definitely reward you well!" Duanmu Shuxuan gave Li Hui a kiss fiercely, and then left in a hurry.

Li Hui touched his somewhat swollen mouth that had been kissed, and sighed silently, he could be regarded as doing his best, just see where he could help this time.

"Someone is coming~~! I ordered to go down, and I said that I was a little unhealthy in the past two days, so I didn't see any guests!" Li Hui ordered through the light gauze on the bed.

Duanmu Shuxuan and Mr. Gu talked secretly all night, and did not stop until the next morning when they were going to the court, and he did not dare to delay but went to Princess Mu in person, woke up Princess Mu who was still asleep, and ordered her to go to the court in high spirits!

Princess Mu, who was woken up by Duanmu Shuxuan, couldn't sleep, so she simply got up and asked people to prepare things, and then she took the two children to the harem. And after sending Princess Mu's mother and son away, Li Hui directly asked people to close the door and thank the guests, and directly blocked all the people outside.

The old queen mother sat in the palace early this morning waiting for the arrival of Princess Mu and the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and when she saw the two children, the heart of the old queen mother could simply turn into a puddle of water. However, the old queen mother did not ignore the trace of haggard that Princess Mu tried to hide under her delicate makeup, she thought of what those subordinates had told her before, what had happened in the capital around the Shanyin Palace.

"Why haven't I seen each other for a few days, why is your child's complexion so bad? Is something wrong? You tell the mourning family! The mourning family is in charge of you!" The old queen mother sent her subordinates to take the two children aside to play first, and she took Princess Mu's hand and asked her cordially.

"Queen Mother~!" Princess Mu heard the old queen mother's concerned words, her whole spirit seemed to collapse all of a sudden, and she began to tell the old queen mother about the behavior of those business houses.

"In fact, the concubine didn't think about this at all at that time, or there was a steward below to remind the concubine, saying that if you buy a large amount of grain like this, and catch up with the famine year, it will definitely increase the price, so she said that it should be noted on the signed contract that the increase cannot exceed one percent, and she was afraid that something would happen, so it was written that if she couldn't supply the goods, she would have to compensate ten times!" Princess Mu said that at this time, tears were churning in her eyes.

"Those people outside scolded me for being a bully, yes, but looking at this one is domineering, but why didn't they see anything else, it also said that if we don't pay for the goods, we will agree to compensate the loss of the firm!"

"Before, when the date of pick-up came to pick up the goods, they pushed three blocks and fours, and found all kinds of excuses to say that those things have not been pulled yet, and there was no way to let the subordinates take the name of my prince to stab the people who went to the yamen to find people, not that the concubines wanted them to compensate, but they wanted to find those people in the yamen to mediate, and the contract was over, but the concubines thought that as soon as those people saw the people coming from the yamen, they actually opened their mouths and said that the goods had arrived! Your old man doesn't know, the first half an hour said that the goods did not arrive, but in the second half an hour, when I saw the people in the yamen, they said that the goods arrived early, and our people did not go to pick them up!"

"Although the concubines are not the kind of bullying people, they have never been bullied like this! Even if they don't look down on the concubines, they don't even pay attention to the prince of my family! Originally, the concubines were just thinking about helping those disaster victims, so they thought of making such a thing! Being bullied by others became like this! If it weren't for the Queen Mother, you called the concubines into the palace, but I was afraid that the concubines would not know what to be bullied like when they were outside!"

The old queen mother was also angry enough after listening to Princess Mu's cry, she slapped the table and asked people to find Emperor Xuande, this Duanmu Shuxuan is her own imperial grandson! And even if it is not the imperial grandson, but it is also the dignified prince of this Nanshu country, and he can still be bullied by a few traders, is there any royal law!

"The Queen Mother can't help this!" When Princess Mu heard that the old queen mother said that she was going to invite Emperor Xuande over, she immediately turned pale with fright and said: "Concubine, this is just a trivial matter, how dare you alarm Your Majesty!"

"How can this be a trivial matter!" The old lady said sharply: "Shu Xuan, who is he? He is the king of Shanyin of my Nanshu Kingdom, and the royal family of my Nanshu Kingdom, what are those people? It's just some lowly merchants, they actually join forces to deal with you, this is simply not to take the royal family in their eyes, the mourning family wants to see who gave them such courage!"

As soon as Emperor Xuande got out of the court, he saw the little eunuch next to the old queen mother coming.

"What's going on?" Emperor Xuande asked as soon as he heard that his mother was going to let him pass.

"It's because of Princess Sanyin!" The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Princess Sanyin has been bullied by a group of trading houses outside!"

Emperor Xuande knew what was going on as soon as he heard the little eunuch say this, since he knew that Duanmu Shuxuan was his own son, Emperor Xuande had not paid less attention to him, of course, he also knew that Princess Mu sent people to buy food, and of course he also knew that someone was behind the instructions of those trading houses, so that they collectively fought against Princess Shanyin and refused to deliver the goods.

"Hmph~~!" Emperor Xuande sneered and said: "I already know about this matter! You go back and tell the Queen Mother, don't worry about this matter, those trading houses actually dare to tease the royal family, it seems that they are too bold, it just so happens that this matter can also teach them a lesson, let people go over with my dictation, let those trading houses have to pay the compensation to the other garden of the king of Shanyin within three days, and the trading houses that can't call the money will let them go to their masters to ask for it, and I can't miss a copper plate from them!"

The little eunuch got Emperor Xuande's words and hurriedly went back to tell the old lady, and the old queen mother was immediately happy when she heard this.

"Okay~~!Look! Your Majesty will help you support you! You will take the child to live here in the mourning house with peace of mind these days, and you don't need to worry about those things outside!" the old queen mother patted Princess Mu's hand and said.

The speed of the development of this matter is completely beyond Princess Mu's expectations, but she is also secretly happy in her heart now, ten times the compensation is definitely an astronomical amount, and no one will dislike this little money!

··················

"How can this be! If you continue like this, won't this become a dead end?" After listening to the news brought back by the people below, Li Hui bit her fingers and sat there, although she hinted that Duanmu Shuxuan asked Princess Mu to stab the old queen mother, but she didn't think that there would be a result so soon, at that time, she was just thinking about exchanging the contract for some benefits, how could she think that His Majesty would block this matter with one mouth! If it is like this, it is estimated that the entire business district of the capital will go back five years!

Li Hui sat in the study irritably, she didn't know why His Majesty would choose to deal with this matter in such a stubborn way, wouldn't it be equivalent to offending the entire royal family on her side!

"I'm annoyed!" The impatient Li Hui couldn't help but pick up the paperweight and knocked it on the tabletop vigorously, but when she saw the phoenix pattern carved on the paperweight, she suddenly stopped, "What is Your Majesty's intention? That day it was the same with the old queen mother, they were really good to the prince, is there something wrong with this?"

Of course, Li Hui also knows the current situation in the imperial court, His Majesty's only son is also dead, and he is quite old, it is impossible to have any heirs, so at the moment, whether it is in the palace or in the court, he is close to choosing an heir among the royal family, otherwise this time there would not be such a big movement.

Li Hui was taken aback by this thought, but she carefully analyzed it and found that His Majesty really had a little bit in it, but her mind turned and thought again, this emperor's mind is hard to guess, Your Majesty is so good to the prince at the moment, and he does not reject His Majesty already has a suitable candidate in his heart, and this is just a trick, in order to use his own prince as a whetstone! Isn't it written in those that I read when I used to be! As soon as he thought of this, Li Hui was shocked into a cold sweat!

What should I do? Li Hui was about to cry urgently, the thought just now had already frightened her! But now she couldn't think of any ideas, and the whole thing made her anxious like an ant on a hot pot!
