Chapter Ninety-Five: Idleness
In late February, Gao Shenghan was calculating how far Chen Zixiu had gone, while paying attention to the progress of farming, and there was also a household department that wanted to allocate money to build waterwheels and irrigate canals in various places, and also sent some craftsmen to the local area to guide farmers to set up and install waterwheels, and then there were many annual rations distributed in the spring that needed to be coordinated, such as salt and tea to lead to mine mining or something, this must have her signature of the approval, so that she could know the approximate tax this year in addition to agricultural taxes.
Good to die or not, the silk satin cloth, spices, utensils and other things on the imperial merchant tribute have also been sent, this is to let her choose what she likes to stay, naturally what is good and how delicate it is, after the selection, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can determine the imperial merchants and quotas that need to cooperate this year.
Gao Shenghan knew that the emperor was really not idle, in addition to appeasing the harem and balancing the courtiers to deal with state affairs, even trivial matters such as food, clothing, housing and transportation were waiting for his nod!
What's more, the courtiers she raises all eat dry rice? Even the handkerchief she used for her own commotion and the incense lit in the thatched house had to be designated by her, and she would die! Moreover, why did the palace maid and eunuch have to make a decision on the clothes of the princess?
Gao Shenghan glared angrily at Gonggong Zhang, the head of the Internal Affairs Office.
Gonggong Deng hurriedly whispered on the side to reassure: "Your Majesty, now that there is no owner in the harem, there is no one to share the emperor's worries, and it will be fine after the emperor's wedding." "This matter is the queen's internal matter, just talk to the emperor after deciding, and it is also a good time for the harem to compete for favor and blow the pillow wind in the emperor's ear to pull business for his own relatives, but isn't it empty now...... Deng Gonggong said no more.
Gao Shenghan glanced at him.
Poke yourself in the hole!
What she didn't know was that all of this was indeed set by the Ministry of Internal Affairs before, but "herself" was in a bad mood one time, I don't know if it was the fragrance in the room that annoyed her, or the color and style of the palace maid's palace clothes that she didn't like to see, so she directly pulled someone out without saying a word...... Zhang Gonggong was at that time to replace the previous head of internal affairs climbed up, naturally will not repeat the mistakes of the past, all the things that the emperor needs to see in the place are summarized and cataloged one by one, which time it needs to be replaced by the emperor to decide, in case the emperor doesn't like it one day, he also has the courage to distinguish one or the other.
Gao Shenghan didn't know what this old fritter was thinking, so he had to resign himself to the fate of the pile of dazzling objects, ordered a few things at random, and ordered to send cloth brocade ornaments to the little masters to pick them out. Men don't wear beaded flowers, hairpins, fans, belts and so on.
This side has just been sorted out, and there are reports of small groups of homeless people and bandits in the northern desert invading the border countryside to loot, kill, and set fires. The reason is easy to guess, after a hungry winter, the hibernating animals have to come out to forage, and the barbarians who have suffered from the snow disaster naturally need supplies when they are not in this green and yellow season. What is annoying is that they have a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and they don't fight against the regular army, they just look for unarmed villagers to attack, and run away when they grab something!
Gao Shenghan was very angry, except for ordering the soldiers stationed there to patrol strictly, he couldn't think of a good way to deal with it for the time being.
What's the matter, there's no such thing as a one-and-done solution? If you use explosives......
No, the weapons of mass destruction of later generations cannot be made out in advance!
Gao Sheng was cold and angry, and he was naturally in a bad mood.
Gonggong Deng looked at the emperor's gloomy face and the emaciated little face, and he was also a little distressed.
Fortunately, Shen Xiaozhu is interesting and pleasant, and he will come over every day to invite An to have a dinner or supper or something, and occasionally stay overnight to see the beauty is also eye-catching, so he didn't let the emperor continue to be angry. With such a comparison, Father-in-law Deng was suddenly a little dissatisfied with the other men in the back garden.
Although reading books and studying to prepare for the exam is a major event and needs to be treated seriously, it is the most important thing to appease the emperor and please the emperor! The emperor is unhappy, don't think about any of them!
I'll have to talk to Gonggong Gao another day, and I'll knock them out.
In this way, every day is so busy that the big guys are not idle. It wasn't until a spring thunder woke up the earth, everything recovered, and the spring rain began to fall, that Gao Shenghan breathed a sigh of relief.
Hopefully, it's a good year!
On this day, it was hard to steal half a day of leisure, Gao Shenghan was playing with briquettes under the eaves, and he heard a report from outside that Prince Shashaman was here.
Gao Shenghan was stunned, how long had he not seen him?
It was as if he hadn't seen his face since that night's assassination.
Looking at the tall man who strode into the courtyard with great energy, there was a feeling of being in a different world.
"Sure enough, I saw the spring breeze again, and I blew you here." Gao Shenghan leaned against the railing, sat on the rocking chair that he had specially made for the craftsmen, and watched the brown-haired beauty approach with a smile. The briquettes lay lazily on her stomach, curled up and napping.
Shashaman smiled brightly and saluted.
"Why didn't you bring a whirlwind?" Gao Shenghan asked people to move a stool for him to sit on.
Xia Shaman thanked him, sat down generously, and after wiping his hands politely, he grabbed the snacks on the table and ate the tea, swallowed them in three or two, wiped his mouth, and then spoke:
"The servant went for a walk with the whirlwind." It's good to have the emperor's support, but now except for some important places that can't be set foot in, Xia Shaman can travel freely in the palace, even if he is in the harem, he can go there, anyway, there are no concubines living in it now. He knew that the emperor was compensating him in disguise.
"Thank you for that night." Gao Shenghan did not forget. She also knew that in the past two months, Shaman had avoided suspicion and reduced his presence, lest someone look at him unpleasantly and associate him with the Assassin.
Xia Shaman smiled, "I can't afford to thank Bixia for my efforts." ”
Gao Shenghan raised his eyebrows. "Is that- want to change the way of thanks?" The hand naturally put on the back of the other person's hand and touched it lightly.
It's not tender, and it seems that he hasn't been idle this winter.
Xia Shaman blinked, held it with his backhand, and sighed in his heart that this hand was delicate, and at the same time, he didn't believe that such a young man who had not fully grown up was actually a ruthless and murderous tyrant in the center of the people's mouth, obviously two years younger than himself. However, judging by his recent actions, he is indeed decisive and ruthless, and he is ruthless. Except for the male pet......
Xia Shaman was shocked to realize that he had remembered something he shouldn't think about again, so he quickly put aside his distracting thoughts, raised the other party's slender hand and handed it to his lips, printed a gentle kiss, raised his eyes, opened his bright and beautiful blue eyes, approached, and whispered almost like biting his ear and whispering:
"Bixia, Xiao Wang's sister sent a letter, wanting to send an envoy to your country for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and I hope that Bixia will be gracious."
Gao Shenghan was secretly surprised, he didn't expect him to move so fast, and he could actually move the countess. This is...... Agree to your previous proposal and change the sky for the Black Sand Country?
