Dear friends, today is the last day of the first half of this month, and I will return to Beijing from other places tomorrow, I hope to see this article on the monthly ticket list, please vote for it. Thank!

------Off topic------

In the blink of an eye, the twenty-ninth year came, and several teams of people entered Chang'an one after another.

"I don't feel comfortable handing over potato stems and saplings to him. If it is replaced by Brother Hai, I will give it. Li Jingjing opened He Jingyan's claws that probed into his chest, he fed him last night, and he wanted it again tonight, it was really underwhelming.

He Jingyan nodded and said, "Yes." The imperial court allocated silver money and grain, and the second uncle added so much silver, and Jingqing could still make the people and cattle in the fiefdom starve to death and die of disease, and his ability to govern was really not good. ”

"It's okay for Jing Qing to lead the troops to suppress the horse bandits, but the political affairs are worse."

"Qinglang is really not smart, he would rather write to the second aunt than write to me." He Jingyan took a handkerchief to Li Jingjing and rubbed her back, and rubbed oil by the way.

"That's it." Li Jingjing nodded and said, "I won't give them stems and saplings for no reason." ”

He Jingyan said slowly: "Lady, they want to empty the gloves of the white wolf, and a copper will not get the potato tubers and saplings of our fiefdom, and there is no door." You wait and see, when they went, they were scolded by Old Man Lin and got out of Jincheng. ”

Li Jingjing sat in the bathtub and soaked comfortably, and after listening to He Jingyan's retelling, she said with a smile: "You sent them all to Old Man Lin, you save trouble, Old Man Lin should have a big head." ”

The officials slapped their asses for a while, and were driven away by He Jingyan's impatient wave.

"The prince is benevolent and righteous, and he doesn't cover the fruits of the fiefdom and agriculture, which is the blessing of the people of this dynasty."

"Xia Guan thanked the prince for the people of Baoding Mansion."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

He Jingyan ordered the housekeeper to bring these officials to the hall of the main courtyard, and learned that they were all for asking about planting potatoes and trees in winter, so he said: "Old man Lin is in Jincheng, you send the agricultural official to consult him." ”

Li Jingjing didn't see them and went back to the courtyard to rest. In the past two days since I returned to Chang'an, I was a little tired when I went shopping and saw my relatives to discuss the family affairs of my younger brothers and sisters, except for sleeping.

As soon as the couple entered the mansion, their buttocks were not seated firmly, and officials visited outside the mansion, and they were officials from Shaanxi Province, Hebei Province, Northeast China and other places.

After the two families had dinner, He Qingyi and his family left, and He Jingyan and Li Jingjing returned to Yanwang's mansion.

He Qing said seriously: "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, this time we all persuaded Hailang to make sure that he got married." ”

"You are blessed with such a good life, you have such a good eldest daughter-in-law, how can you have such a hard life like me, and you were given such a bad woman by Your Majesty to Hailang, so that Hailang is still alone." The old princess Niu was sad and tearful.

He Qing shook his head and said: "My daughter has paid too much to our family, and we don't have the face to go to see Li's family." ”

If He Wu married Li Jingjing, how good would it be.

At the beginning, He Jinghai wanted to ask Li Bing to marry Li Jingjing for He Wu, but who knew that He Wu admired Wang Yanyu, and finally He Jingyan married Li Jingjing.

At this time, the old princess Niu was in the same mood as Murong Ying who envied He Qing and his wife, and scolded the eldest grandson He Wu several times in her heart.

Princess Niu was curious to inquire about what dowry had been added, and He Qing and his wife said truthfully.

He Qing and his wife looked at each other, and He Qing said: "Second sister-in-law, I won't tell you, my daughter also added a large amount of dowry to Miao Niang." ”

When Princess Niu heard this, because she had always had a good relationship with He Qing's family, she asked directly: "How much has it been subsidized?" After listening to He Qing's husband and wife's reply, they praised Li Jingjing repeatedly.

Kong Ye said: "Second sister-in-law, we were originally going to make do with it, but after the girl learned about it yesterday, she immediately took out a sum of money to make up for it, saying that it was necessary to do it decently without losing the face of the royal family." ”

He Qing and Kong Ye couldn't help but smile.

Princess Niu asked, "Are your family Xinlang and Miao Niang's family affairs going to be big or small?" ”

Kong Ye looked at him sympathetically and said, "Yes." If you do a big deal for Quan Lang's family affairs, you will be said to be extravagant and wasteful regardless of the life and death of the people in the fiefdom, and if you do it small, you will be laughed at by the people of Chang'an. ”

"When I think of the people in the fiefdom who are hungry and freezing, I get upset." Old Princess Niu paused and said in a low voice: "Quanlang is about to get married, do you think I should give him a big deal or a small one?" ”

Li Jingjing saw that the old princess Niu had something to say to Kong Ye and He Qing, so she called He Jingxin and He Jingmiao to the side hall.

"I'll write a letter to Jincheng and send a peasant official to your family's fief." He Jingyan went to the study, and He Quan accompanied him.

Kong Ye sighed and said, "Alas, our daughter's daughter took the dowry and pasted millions of taels of silver to Jingyan's fiefdom, not that the people starved to death and froze to death. ”

He Quan shook his head and said: "The silver money and food allocated by the imperial court are not enough at all, our family has already posted 90,000 taels of silver to the fief, and so many people and livestock are still freezing to death and starving." ”

Old Princess Niu smiled, smiled, and muttered, "What should I do then?" ”

What he meant was that the peasant officials went, and it didn't do much either.

He Jingyan continued: "However, I have been to your family's fiefdom, and there are few fields outside the city, and there are large grasslands and deserts. There is not much land to grow potatoes and soybeans. ”

Princess Niu and He Quan were all happy.

He Jingyan guessed that there was something wrong with the old princess Niu before he came, glanced at Li Jingjing, saw her nodding, and thought the same as him, so he said: "Second uncle, I can send you a fief to send a peasant official." ”

Princess Niu took out a letter from her sleeve and said to He Jingyan and Li Jingjing: "This is what Qinglang wrote to me, saying that I want to talk to you two people, can you send agricultural officials to the north to help the people there grow potatoes and soybeans?" ”

She said coldly: "Which official impeached your family, everyone in your family asked him to go to the Northland City Mansion to be the chief historian, and see what he can do after he goes." ”

Li Jingjing contributed money and efforts to Longbei this year, and there were dozens of excerpts of the civil officials impeaching her, and she hated these royal histories who stood and talked without pain and played with their mouths.

He Jingyan said: "Beidi is colder than Longbei, and the food shortage is even greater, this winter is not only your family's fiefdom, but also Sanbo's fiefdom and other cities have frozen to death and starved to death. ”

The couple has done a lot of good things for the fiefdom, but they still haven't solved the two big problems of food and poverty.

He Jingqing's daughter-in-law, Deng Feiyan, is the daughter of the Deng family, and organized officials' families to donate money to run schools and provide relief to disaster victims.

In order to do a good job in the fiefdom, He Jingqing led the army to exterminate the Hun horse bandits as soon as he went, and forced the Hun horse bandits to pay a lot of money to invite assassins to kill him.

He Quan lost his voice and said: "My uncle and my aunt have worked hard for the fiefdom, and they have been impeached and ruined by officials again, which is also too wrongful." ”

"Yan Lang's fief is seven cities, and our family only has one." When Princess Niu heard this number, it was less than a fraction of the death toll in her fiefdom, and her heart was even heavier.

He Jingyan replied: "As of the day before yesterday, there were fourteen people. ”

"This year's snow is heavy, and there are also people freezing to death in the fiefdom of our family in Longbei." He Qing's tone was very emotional, glanced at He Jingyan, and asked, "How many people are freezing to death and starving?" ”

The peasants did not even have enough to eat, and they had no money to build houses, let alone money to buy clothes to protect themselves from the cold.

What Princess Niu said about the situation of the northern fiefdom can be imagined by Jingyan and Li Jingjing.

"The snow in the north is very heavy, and more than 300 people have died of starvation and freezing in our fiefdom, not counting the cattle that have frozen to death. Qinglang and his wife rushed back a year ago, afraid that the people in the fief would be short of food and riot, so they didn't dare to move, so they stayed in the fiefdom. ”

In the hall of King Xia's mansion, Princess Niu became a little excited when she talked to He Qing's family.

This decree will motivate the vassal kings to build their fiefdoms, so that they will not be disgruntled when they invest a lot of money in their fiefs in the early stage.

Ten years later, He Jingyan and his wife left Longbei, if the tax rose to 400,000 taels of silver, the imperial court would only need 220,000 taels, and the excess 180,000 taels would go to He Jingyan and his wife, which lasted for 20 years.

For example, last year, the commercial tax of Longbei and the annual tax of the Silk Road were about 220,000 taels of silver.

The right to use the fief of the feudal king was 10 years, and at the end of the 10th year, it was returned to the imperial court, and the surplus was still returned to the feudal king after 20 years of tax minus the annual tax when he took over.

He Dong felt very uncomfortable, so he went to King Li's mansion that day, and after discussing with Li Bing, he prepared a holy decree about the fief at the state banquet on the first day of the first lunar month.

He Qingyi's family left the palace without even eating on the grounds that they had made an appointment with Princess Niu.

He Dong could only speak: "Cousin, don't worry, I won't treat Jing Yan and Jing Niang badly." ”

Kong Ye opened his elk-like eyes wide, and said loudly: "Big brother, those who can work harder, can they work more?" ”

He Dong looked apologetic and said, "Before, I thought that Jing Yan and Jing Niang were capable, and those who were capable worked hard, so I assigned the seven cities to them as fiefs. ”

He Jingyan kept a straight face and never said anything.

Murong Ying thought about her daughter-in-law Deng Yun, who had not yet adapted to the life of the East Palace, and she was really envious of He Qing and his wife, this was really a good luck, and said: "Your family is really blessed to marry Jing Niang." ”

He Qing shook his head and said, "Big brother, I felt panicked when I went to King Li's mansion to see my in-laws. ”

Kong Ye said that he was excited, with tears in his eyes, and said: "The girl added a dowry to Miao Niang, and the silver money alone is a full 100,000 taels of silver tickets, as well as two sets of head jewelry, four shops in Chang'an Jincheng, and a full set of rosewood furniture, and a very precious antique in the dowry I gave to the Li family back then." ”

"Jing Yan earned the money from the war, except for raising tigers and running the army, and the rest were subsidized fiefdoms." He Qingdao: "The girl added 20,000 taels of silver to Xinlang and Miao Niang for a big wedding. ”

In the side hall of the Xuanzheng Palace, He Dong and Murong Ying listened to He Qing and Kong Ye talk about the wedding of their two children.

Deng Yun looked grateful, and specially instructed: "You have to hurry up and give birth to a child for King Yan." ”

Li Jingjing held Deng Yun's hand and said, "This is you." You're going to have to do that in the future. ”

Deng Yun said with a smile: "Then it's decided, I will report to the prince and the queen mother tomorrow, and then post on a fixed date, and if you have children, you can bring your children with you." ”

"Okay." Li Jingjing also wanted to meet all the young ladies of the former military attache faction, and there were many young ladies invited to the banquet, so she could see them all at once.

Deng Yun said sincerely: "Before you leave, I will hold a banquet in the East Palace to invite the sisters sent by the military attache to see you off." ”

Li Jingjing said: "After Xinlang's wedding and Miaoniang's wedding, I will return to Jincheng." ”

Deng Yun asked, "How long will you stay in Chang'an this time?" ”

She and Deng Yun had a tacit understanding, and did not mention Hu Xuelan, who had become a living dead in the corner of the East Palace a few months ago.

In short, flies do not stare at seamless eggs. Tian Yefeng and the Hu clan are not good things.

This Tian Yefeng may have fallen in love with Hu Yanran, otherwise he is a military general, and his kung fu is not low, how could he be on the road, and he willingly marry her as his wife.

She thought of what she had overheard Li Yunqing say that the children and grandchildren of the Tian family had secretly visited the Qinglou in other places, and had also fought with local officials over prostitutes.

"He thought that with the Holy Decree he could gag everyone? Shameless. Li Jingjing couldn't figure out why He Dong wanted to marry such a family.

Deng Yun said angrily: "In order to block everyone's mouths, this Buhu clan came to ask my father for a holy decree for marriage. ”

Li Jingjing was very shocked, shook her head and said: "The dignified concubine did such a thing before she left the cabinet, will the rest of the little ladies of the Hu clan still marry?" "The heart said: Has the Hu people fallen to this?

Tian Susu is Deng Qilang's wife, that is, Deng Yun's sister-in-law. She followed Deng Shiqilang in Hebei Province and rushed back to Chang'an to participate in the big wedding of Brother Tian Yefeng in the lobby.

Deng Yun's expression was like eating a fly, and he waved his hand to let the eunuch retreat, and said: "Su Su came to me a few days ago, and told me with tears that Tian Yefeng was originally going to marry someone else, but who knew that when he went to eat and drink, he fell in love with the Hu family, and he and Hu Yanran had the reality of husband and wife, so he could only retire the family over there and marry Hu Yanran." ”

Li Jingjing was puzzled: "Why did the Tian family marry the Hu family?" ”

According to the rules of the court, the consent of the wife's maiden family must be used to allow Tian Yefeng to continue, and after Hu Yanran married, he could be canonized with He Dong's consent.

This person is 27 years old this year, Yuan's wife died three years ago, and he already has two sons and a daughter, and his eldest son, Tian Song, is 12 years old, only one year younger than Hu Yanran.

Tian Yefeng is Tian Susu's lobby brother, and now he is the general of Tian Jiajun's Zhengwupin.

Hu Yanran is the daughter of Hu Kai's cousin, with a stunning appearance, more beautiful than his cousins Hu Xuelan and Hu Bingyue.

The eunuch replied, "The will is to give a marriage to Miss Hu Yanran and Lord Tian Yefeng, the eldest grandson of the Duke of Tian County. ”

Deng Jing read her letter and sighed more than once, if only she were a grandson.

Every month, she had to write a letter to Deng Jing about the situation in the court.

In the past few years in the East Palace, she has not been in vain, there are eyeliners everywhere, and you can immediately know what is going on in the court and harem.

Deng Yun asked, "What is the content of the holy decree?" ”
