53. Chapter 53

Honeysuckle is solved here, and only Danqiu is left. Compared to honeysuckle, Danqiu is not smart, but he is not stupid either. Without the little friends who fought side by side, she offended Jiao Wanwan again, and seeing that Zhao Defang had made up her mind and would never change her attitude, she was a little overwhelmed.

Cry, no one cares, the two above only kiss me and mine together to talk. Don't cry, let alone care, the two of them got up and went to the inner room after they finished speaking, and the maids stopped outside, and she couldn't follow up.

It's as if she is an invisible person, who doesn't exist, no one looks at her, no one talks to her. Time passed slowly, and the two of them ate by themselves at lunch, and then, it was time for dinner.

Danqiu cried all day, tired, hungry and thirsty, she really couldn't hold it anymore, she got up hesitantly, she wanted to go, but she didn't know what the consequences would be, if she didn't go, there was no point in staying, it was obvious that the couple was going to treat her as dust, well, maybe she couldn't even compare to dust.

Step by step, he turned around and walked out of the main courtyard and went straight to Honeysuckle's room. Honeysuckle was taking her dressing box and counting her jewelry, and when she came in, she closed the box, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "What, can't hold it?" โ€

"Say, what should we do?" Danqiu had no opinion, grabbed Honeysuckle's hand, and couldn't hold back her tears, Honeysuckle hurriedly waved her hand: "Don't cry in front of me, I'm not a man, I won't feel distressed when I see it, listening to your voice, it seems to be a little uncomfortable, do you want to drink saliva first?" โ€

Danqiu was thirsty, nodding hurriedly, drinking water, and forgetting that he was going to cry. Honeysuckle saw her put down the teacup and sighed: "Don't come to ask me, you heard it in the main courtyard before, I chose this first path, and I just waited for the princess to choose a lover for me, and I looked back at each other, and I waited to get married." If you choose the first one, we can still be relatives in the future, walking around each other, if you choose the second one, a good sister, I will often go to the nunnery to see you, this meat and the like, will also bring you some, if you choose this third one, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you. โ€

"Is there no other way?" Danqiu couldn't help but cry again, and Honeysuckle didn't look at her: "The prince has already made a decision, where is there any other way?" I was still a little unwilling before, and the glory and wealth of this palace have become clouds and smoke in front of me. But now that I think about it, staying in the palace may be a dead end, and when I come out, there is a better world, I have accepted my fate, and I just hope that the princess will write me more dowry when the time comes. โ€

Danqiu lowered his eyes, cried too hard, and hiccups a few times in a row. Honeysuckle didn't pay attention to her, after taking inventory of her jewelry, she went to open the box to see her big wool clothes, and she didn't know what kind of person the princess would choose, and she didn't know if there were any overruns.

Jiao Wanwan rubbed her forehead and sighed: "Finally gone, I still thought, if she is still crying here at night, will we have to sleep in another place, fortunately she can't hold it herself." After a pause, he squinted at Zhao Defang: "These two little ladies are beauties with their own merits, just leave, don't you feel distressed?" The thorn in my heart still didn't โ–กโ–ก, I was happy that Zhao Defang was willing to drive people away, and I was afraid that Zhao Defang was a cold-hearted person. If you can do this to others, you may be able to do this to yourself in the future.

Zhao Defang couldn't help laughing: "Everyone is leaving, are you still jealous?" Since I promised you earlier, I will never go back on it now. Besides, if I'm good for them, I should cut through the mess quickly, girls are young and beautiful for only a few years, and if they are delayed, they won't be able to find a better person. Anyway, they are also serving me, since they can't give them hope, why let them spend their flowering time? โ€

Jiao Wanwan was stunned for a moment, and her heart immediately warmed, it turned out that it was not Zhao Defang's affection, but his gentleness was expressed in another way. After thinking about it, he smiled: "Then you won't be angry, I'll send people away?" โ€

"Naturally, I won't be angry." Zhao Defang pinched her shoulder: "Ming'er, you look at the roster in our house again, if you reach marriageable age, you will either be assigned someone or let it out." After a pause, he added: "A few days ago, General Zhao went to the fold, saying that there are few women in the north, and if there is no countermeasure, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of soldiers will not be able to marry a lady." Dad means that if there are women in the capital, select a group of them, and if there are those who are willing to go, the court will give a reward of fifty taels of silver, and prepare a dowry. โ€

As he spoke, he sighed again: "It's all money." โ€

Jiao Wanwan raised her eyebrows: "So, the imperial court has no money and no one now?" โ€

Zhao Defang nodded, the war had only subsided for a few years, and the treasury was empty, and I was afraid that I couldn't even find three thousand taels of silver.

"So what to do?" Jiao Wanwan asked, Zhao Defang nodded her forehead: "Don't ask about the court." โ€

Jiao Wanwan turned her brain to see if she could come up with any ideas.

"Did Dad say that the people are encouraged to have children...... "Halfway through the sentence and paused, this is not modern, having a second child has to be fooled by the government with all kinds of advertorials, in ancient times, it is needless to say that everyone has to give birth as long as they can give birth.

"Naturally, there is." Unexpectedly, Zhao Defang really nodded: "If there are more than two, the government will give a reward for silver." โ€

The corners of Jiao Wanwan's mouth twitched, the lack of people is not something that can be solved for a while, nor can it be solved by manpower, in addition to encouraging the people to have children, they can only wait slowly, wait for ten or twenty years, and the population will slowly come up.

She is not Nuwa, she can smash out thousands of people with a flick of a branch.

When it comes to sending women to the frontier, there seems to be no other way than to encourage and reward them. We all know that the frontier is hard, food and clothing are worried, the wind and sand are also big, and we have to stay away from relatives, as long as we can survive, which girl will voluntarily go to the frontier?

After thinking about it for a while, Jiao Wanwan couldn't come up with any good ideas, because what she could think of, basically the imperial court had already thought of it, and what she couldn't think of, the imperial court had already thought of it, where could her strength alone be compared to the strength of hundreds of people in the court?

Who can go to court, which one is not a human spirit?

"Okay, you don't have to worry, it's not your turn to make an idea." Zhao Defang saw that her brows were tightly locked, so she nodded her eyebrows: "It's not too early, I'll go to the study for a while, if you are sleepy, you can sleep by yourself first, don't wait for me." โ€

Just as she was about to get up, Jiao Wanwan hurriedly dragged the person down: "That, the person next to Princess Li, have you found out?" โ€

Zhao Defang frowned slightly, and nodded Jiao Wanwan again: "Didn't I say it?" You don't have to ask about this anymore, and in the future, you are not allowed to tell anyone about it, just think that you don't know anything, and when you are free, you want to make a few fresh toys, or go outside to see the shop or something, don't you want to open a toy shop? Have you chosen the shopkeeper? Have you chosen your address? โ€

Jiao Wanwan was speechless, this is considered crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?

"I'm worried about you." Jiao Wanwan couldn't help but say: "If something happens to my father, and the second uncle has such an alliance, the second brother and you will definitely be in danger." โ€

Seeing that Zhao Defang still didn't pay much attention to it, Jiao Wanwan became even more anxious: "I'm really worried about you, I've had nightmares several times......

Zhao Defang stretched out his hand and patted her forehead: "What are you worried about, even if it's the second uncle...... For the sake of his own reputation, he won't do anything to me and my second brother. โ€

"That's not necessarily, the winner is king, and the history books are all written by the winner, he really got rid of you, and you can't come out to cry out." Jiao Wanwan sighed, she can see now that Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Defang, the father and son, have a kind of self-confidence, and they don't take Zhao Guangyi in their eyes at all.

It's as if all kinds of arrangements have been made, just waiting for Zhao Guangyi to throw himself into the net.

Oh, no, are they really ready? Jiao Wanwan frowned and thought hard, not noticing at all, when she was distracted, Zhao Defang had already gone out to the study lightly, leaving her here alone to meditate.

Is it possible that this matter was not reminded by her at all, but that Zhao Kuangyin had premeditated to get rid of Zhao Guangyi, so he got people back to the capital. Then, the two played with each other, and as a result, Zhao Kuangyin was inferior to Zhao Guangyi, so he lost. It's not that Zhao Guangyi rebelled without Zhao Kuangyin knowing, but that the two of them have already started to make moves.

It seems that this situation is more dangerous, Zhao Kuangyin is the emperor, and he can still be defeated, so how well prepared Zhao Guangyi is. Even Zhao Kuangyin can be defeated, and Zhao Defang is even more difficult to be saved, right?

Otherwise, you might as well think about an escape route, right?

Jiao Wanwan pinched her eyebrows, why didn't she study history well when she was in high school! What year is the candle shadow axe? Zhao Kuangyin has been the emperor for a few years! When did Zhao Dezhao die!

"Princess, it's not too early, and the hot water is ready." Jin Mei came over with a smile and said, Jiao Wanwan opened her arms and asked Jin Mei and them to help change their clothes, there seems to be no one on the island or anything at this time, right?

Why don't you send some people over in advance, occupy an island first, and then establish a base area? It should be possible to build a small kingdom by yourself in the future, right?

But then Jiao Wanwan was a little discouraged, the Great Song Dynasty itself was short of people, where did she find some people to send to the island? It has to be quiet! I'm afraid that if there are three or five thousand people on this land, the government will know about it immediately, and then it will start to track it down, right?

God, why don't you give me a smarter brain when you cross over? Jiao Wanwan took a deep breath and buried her head in the bathtub, the worst, a head that she never forgot was okay, at least she could recall what a history textbook looked like.
