Chapter 172: Broad Axe

Behind the scenes, Wen Wan and Murong Wei often discussed the large area of poppies in the Su family's chrysanthemum garden. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Except for the poppies in the chrysanthemum garden, the greenhouses are all treasures, which are different from the purity of those planted all over the place, and have a more fragrant aroma, and I don't know what the use of these precious poppies is.

The two carefully analyzed that Su Jiazhi had such a large area of poppies, in addition to harming people, it was more about seeking wealth.

The destruction of the Great Zhou Dynasty Palace was more than 100 years ago. When the treasury was emptied, almost all of them were secretly transferred to the Gusu Palace by the little emperor, which cheapened the Xixia royal family in Gusu, which is now the capital of Gusu.

The ministers of the dead country were not much gold, silver and jewelry that could be taken away in a hurry from the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it was passed down from generation to generation, and there was a deficit in the silver, so they could only think of a shortcut.

Especially in this generation, Xixia's branch was suppressed by Su Rui. Since he can't go out, he can only do business by farming, and secretly start buying and selling Fushou ointment.

No one has known for so many years, and it can only be said that the Su family is too meticulous. The opium poppy was planted in Xixia, but it chose to be sold in other places, so that people had nowhere to find it.

Since then, Su Guangfu from Yunnan has become more and more suspicious. Murong Wei saw the tea bricks sent by Su Duhan in front of his eyes, he said that it was given by his cousin in Yunnan, and a friend took the ancient tea horse road to sell tea.

How do you look at it, selling tea is just a cover-up, and what Su Guangfu really sells is about these poppies.

Thinking of this, Murong Wei immediately communicated with Xia Yuzhi.

Previously, Cha Su's recovery was not smooth, because Yunnan is now in Kangnan, and Xia Yuzhi's hand can't reach in. At this time, he formed an alliance with Gu Chenxiao, and he could use his strength to carefully investigate the details of this Su Guangfu.

Xia Yuzhi was deeply convinced of Murong Wei's analysis, and immediately ordered someone to return to contact Han Yan who stayed near Yuping Mountain, and asked him to help.

The letter written by the old lady to her grandson was full of exciting good news in black and white, and Xia Yuzhi also found an opportunity to show it to Murong Wei.

The medicinal diet prepared by Rona is facing the Queen Mother's illness. Compared with the time when everyone left Beijing, the old lady's spirit was half better. Now that the hospital is effective, the medication is symptomatic, the queen mother is refreshed, plus the conditioning of acupuncture and diet, most of the recovery has been recovered, and the laughter in the Shoukang Palace is continuous all day long.

The old friend regained his spirit, and the old lady didn't know how happy she was. Because Luo Nayan was recommended by Murong Wei, the old lady vaguely mentioned Murong Wei, and when she talked about her intelligence and courage, she was also amazed in her heart.

Xia Yuzhi originally wanted to repair the book, saying that he and his grandmother had vaguely discovered mineral deposits in Yuping Mountain, but he felt that it was a big matter, and it was safest to go back to face him, so he only revealed it in the letter.

As for the hollow valley in the belly of the mountain that Murong Wei said, as well as the secret alliance with Izumi in the dark night, I didn't dare to describe such a secret matter in the letter. Xia Yuzhi only told his grandmother, and then mentioned that Murong Wei wanted to take the boundary of Yuping Mountain as a fiefdom, and went home to explain the details in detail, and begged her grandmother to mediate in front of the queen mother at that time.

Xiao Luochen lived in the Su family's old mansion for a while, and although he didn't gain much, he also vaguely discovered that there were other secrets in the ancestral hall. The situation of worshipping the ancestors that day was strange, and the velvet curtain was pulled up, surrounded by impenetrable wind, and it was inconvenient to talk to Xia Yuzhi on the road, so he mentioned a few words.

It is a fact that Su Duhan was busy in the old mansion, and it is also a fact that the Su family was full of guests in those days. With the momentum of being loose on the outside and tight on the inside, Xiao Luochen understood at a glance that he must be doing something unspeakable.

The Sanjin courtyard where the patriarch lived kept people coming and going all night with lamps, and with the large number of monks coming and going, he covered up the truth of the gathering of people, and how could he escape Xiao Luo's sharp eyes.

He told Xia Yuzhi about the strangeness one by one, and said that Su Guangfu frequently went in and out of the patriarch's room, obviously all of them were old acquaintances, not like they hadn't seen him for many years.

At the end, mentioning the former and backward compliments of the younger generations of the Su family, Xiao Luochen told Xia Yuzhi in detail about Mrs. Anguo's two preparations for the meeting.

In Murong Wei's narrative, Mrs. An Guo did not know the true life experience of her husband and son.

This poor woman has been kept in the dark until that year, when Su Duhan's soldiers came to the city, in order to save Xixia, Mrs. An Guo died on the city wall, and after all, she failed to stop her son's progress.

It is true that Mrs. An Guo adheres to her husband's ambition and is not close to the Su family, but she does not know the true thoughts of her husband's estrangement from the Su family, and wants to protect his wife and children from the Su family.

Su Rui, who was under Jiuquan, could not have imagined that he had spent his life trying to protect his wife and children, but his son firmly chose to do something contrary to him.

It has entered the April of the old calendar, and the willows on both sides of the strait are verdant, and the scenery is different from the scenery of early spring and February when they come.

At this time, Murong Wei looked out from the open window, and the paddy fields on both sides of the strait were already faintly green, and the greenery was gradually thickening, and a thriving one, indicating a bumper harvest.

Farmers are still working hard in the fields, and they can be seen everywhere. The border south of the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice, is still richer than other places.

In Xia Ge Lao's third mansion newspaper, he clearly mentioned the crucial excerpt of Song Weiyuan years ago.

In addition to the sericulture and paddy fields that are customary in the south of the Yangtze River, a large amount of wheat and corn have been planted in the valleys and valleys.

Among the many grains, Song Weiyuan specifically mentioned corn, which was carefully written into the palace newspaper by the imperial court.

Corn stalks, which are worthless in the eyes of many, are chopped and mixed with oil refining residue, and bean cakes are good fodder for horses.

Xixia planted turf every year, and the cost of raising horses was worth a lot, and Song Weiyuan's move undoubtedly saved a huge amount of expenditure for the treasury and won the appreciation of the cabinet and the six ministries. For this reason, Emperor Chongming issued a holy decree to reduce agricultural taxes and encourage the people to plant more corn.

This holy decree has a bearing on the vital interests of the people. The people were thunderous for a while, praising Emperor Chongming's benevolence and love for the people, and the cohesion and centripetal force of the royal family reached a new high.

In the past, his father was embattled in the harem and struggled, but now he has finally won the praise of the government and the opposition.

It is worth mentioning that the implementation was so smooth this time, but also because Song Weiyuan was actually attached to the Ministry of Labor and directly participated in the whole process. Now that he has made remarkable political achievements, no matter whether he is promoted in the coming day or not, this little-known deputy envoy in the past has steadily suppressed Qin Tianbasket and Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu's Qin Tianjian is seeing that he can't do it, and Emperor Chongming will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble and settle accounts with his original accusation that the snow is the wrath of the sky.

Such a villain is bound to fall, who will make up a lie for Su Duhan in the future?

Cutting off one of Su Duhan's wings, Murong Wei was extremely happy. She read these contents in the newspaper, and her eyes were like a magnificent scene of new wheat yellowing, mulberry branches swaying, and rice gardens, and she couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

The people regard food as the sky, looking at these, Murong Wei seems to see the prosperity of Xixia in front of her eyes. (To be continued.) )
