There is a prosperous spring scene in the capital, and it is not the business of ordinary people to know how the torrents are surging in secret.

On the third day of March, the current saint led the sons and ministers to visit the garden in the West Garden, ordinary people and low-grade officials and merchants could not be lucky, so they naturally flocked to several spring resorts outside the city, and naturally they would follow the purification ceremony advocated today, and the least of them was naturally to enjoy the beautiful spring scenery like a song and a picture.

After the Shangshi Festival, Yang Jingyu, the king of Qi, found a reason to stay in Beijing and never went down to Nanzhili again. Every day, he followed the rules step by step, or went to the suburbs of Beijing to inspect and visit the people's situation in a light car, and he didn't say anything in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of the saints, he showed two feelings of relief.

Today, I also sighed to the people around me, saying that San'er, who has a gloomy temperament, went out to the capital, and after experiencing the people's feelings, he actually grew up, and he knew that the people were suffering.

As for His Royal Highness the King of Qi, who has grown up, he has observed the people's feelings, and has noticed that several outstanding folk girls have filled his already spectacular backyard, and the emperor can't help but not put it to heart, even the average minister is estimated to be few of them.

In comparison, the other two adult princes who have been crowned kings, the eldest prince who is still acting in charge of the Ministry of Rites, Yang Jingfu, and Yang Jingyong, the king of Yong, who returns to Beijing and drills into the Tai Hospital almost every day, the former is low-key and bland, and the latter Some people can't help but pout.

Immediately, there was an undercurrent faintly around the capital, chickenpox, measles, and even acne occurred more often in winter every year, and this year it appeared in the spring, at first it was only faintly heard that someone in the suburbs of Beijing had acne, and in a few days, even some children in the capital began to avoid acne, for a while, regardless of whether they were high or ordinary people, as long as there were children under the age of ten at home, they were all nervous, and they were all nervous, and they were all full of spirit, and soon they almost became a closed door to the family, in order to prevent acne from finding the door.

In April, the weather is getting warmer and hotter, and the acne epidemic that should have receded long ago has not weakened at all. In particular, children from poor families in villages outside the city and in the city suffer from more pox rashes because of the unfavorable acne avoidance, and the proportion of premature deaths is even higher due to poor treatment and care. For a while, inside and outside the capital, there was a gloomy cloud and miserable fog, and from time to time, there were heart-rending cries and howls.

On the third day of the first month of April, it is supposed to be a small court meeting of the six chief officials of the cabinet elders, according to the system, the princes and princes of Beijing are all going to meet, the eldest prince Cheng Wang stood at the forefront of the court as before, and the three princes stood in turn, as for the second prince Yongwang, who did not appear, the big guys in the court did not feel abnormal, that Yongwang has been silent for more than ten years, even if he was in the limelight before, there are few bigwigs who really care about this invisible prince.

The small dynasty meeting is a daily routine of the emperor, and there is nothing important to happen in the left near, that is, the great prince Cheng Wang on behalf of the Ministry of Rites on a persuasion of the peasants, the other ministries are mostly routinely played, and there is nothing important, and the small dynasty will soon come to an end.

Han Xi, the great eunuch beside the emperor, was about to announce his retirement from the court, when he heard the deacon eunuch outside the door report: "King Yong, please see!" ”

This voice woke up the morning officials who were a little drowsy, and everyone looked at each other, Han Xi above had already received the order of the saint, and shouted sharply: "Xuan! ”

Today's Xiaochaohui These people are people who have been in the sea for a long time, although they are very surprised that this King Yong is not in tune, but peeked at the emperor who was sitting upright with a gentle face, and there was no abnormality, let alone anger, and they couldn't help but secretly suppress all kinds of speculations in their hearts, stand upright, and wait and see the changes.

The sound of Xuan Jian came out, and after a while, Yang Jingyong, the king of Yong, was dressed in denim-colored clothes, and walked into the Qianqing Hall with a happy face.

Entering the palace gate, Yang Jingyong ignored the people in the hall, and strode straight to His Majesty Dan and knelt down and bowed. After the emperor said 'flat', Yang Jing stood up neatly with the corner of his robe, and was about to speak, when Yang Jing, the king of Qi next to him, said gloomily: "The second brother has been idle and uninhibited, and if he doesn't come to the court, it's just that, why are you still dressed like this...... Is there still a father in the eyes of the second brother? ”

Yang Jingyong seemed to be slow to react, stunned for a moment, and then put a smile on his face, squinted at Yang Jingyu, who couldn't suppress his anger, and said with a smile: "The third brother has said it, the second brother has always been idle and uninhibited, and this father is also knowledgeable." Besides, now that the court meeting is over, the father and the emperor have not yet inquired, and the third brother has taken the ...... on his behalf."

Speaking of this, Yang Jingyong paused, glanced at Yang Jingyu with a smile, but did not continue, and turned straight back to the emperor who had never spoken: "Father, the son came in a hurry today because he had good news to tell his father." ”

"Oh? What's the good news? The emperor, who had been sitting and watching his sons bickering, raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of interest.

Over there, Yang Jingyu stared at Yang Jingyong with a gloomy face, as if he wanted to say something, but he was stopped by King Cheng, who had been silent, and could only stare at Yang Jingyong, the king of Yong, who was playing against the emperor, with some unwillingness, and hated to stare the other party's back out of a hole.

It's a pity that Yang Jingyong didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time, and was reporting the good news to the emperor with a happy face: "...... Song Ke and Zhao Yuxuan, the former son of the Governor Hospital, and Zhao Yuxuan, the judge of the right court, tried to test the ripe seedlings of cowpox, looking for hundreds of children to plant pox to try it, and now half a month has passed, and there are no pox people around the trial people, many children have pox, and two young children have died so far...... However, none of the 100 children who tried to be vaccinated with cowpox suffered from pox. With this, the method of cowpox is reliable and effective, and the promotion of it will definitely drive away the pox, solve the people's danger, and comfort the worries of the father...... In this way, after the Invesco Dynasty, the people will no longer have to worry about pox, and the sacred heart of the father and emperor will be praised for the people. ”

"Ha Lu Ha...... Well, well, it's a great joy! The emperor, who had always been moody, stood up suddenly, and Da Lu smiled and praised.

All the bigwigs in the hall seemed to have just woken up at this point, and they also stepped forward to congratulate and congratulate them.

Qi King Yang Jingyu's face was gloomy and almost dripping, and his eyes narrowed and he was about to step forward. Cheng Wang Yang Jingfu raised his hand slightly, as if to stop it, but he fell back halfway, seeing Yang Jingyu step forward and bow down, he took a step back calmly, and looked indifferent.

"The son also congratulated his father...... It's just that Erchen has recently learned to take care of housework, understand the people's feelings, and know that the people only have food and clothing, and if there is no pox rash, I am afraid that no one will be willing to spend money to plant cowpox...... Therefore, Erchen is worried that although the method of 'cowpox' mentioned by the second brother is good, I am afraid that there will be many obstacles to its implementation. If you don't want to come up with a proper law, I am afraid that my father's concern for the people will be delayed, and maybe it will cause the people to complain and disgust, but it is not beautiful. ”

Yang Jingyu first praised it, and then pointed out that it is not easy to promote 'cowpox', which involves money and food. This kind of thing is the most sensitive, even the head of the household department Shangshu shrunk his shoulders and retreated, and the others were even more silent, only secretly paying attention to the emperor's face, secretly thinking about the sacred heart, don't let this tricky happy event fall on you.

The emperor had already sat down on the dragon chair again at this time, and the joy on his face had also subsided a little, but he still looked at the two sons standing under His Majesty Dan with a smile, and said in a harmonious voice: "It can be seen that the third child has indeed made progress in studying general affairs these days, and he can think of the promotion of 'cowpox' so quickly...... So, what do you mean by that? ”

As soon as Yang Jingyu heard the emperor's question, his face immediately showed a look of shame, and he hung his head and arched his hands: "Erchen is incompetent, just thinking of this, but he failed to come up with a proper way in such a moment. ”

With a humble word, Yang Jingyu paused slightly, turned his head, and looked at Yang Jingyong, the king of Yong, beside him, and said: "However, since the second brother has been trying to test the method of 'cowpox' for many days, he must have a good idea of how to implement 'cowpox'. ”

After the emperor stared at Yang Jingyu, the expression on his face did not move, but the residual smile at the corners of his eyes and mouth just now faded a little.

Everyone in the hall seemed to have reverted to wood carving clay sculptures at this time, and none of them made a sound.

For a while, the huge Qianqing Hall fell into a silence, even the breathing was almost inaudible, obviously sitting or standing dozens of people, but it was empty and quiet as if it had become an empty hall.

"Huh...... I just said that my third child is successful in learning and doing general affairs, and at this time, these words are brothers, friends and brothers, which is really comforting! After a while, the emperor at the top suddenly chuckled, and opened his mouth to praise Yang Jingyu, the third prince of Qi.

The emperor spoke up, naturally there was no shortage of echo worms, several ministers echoed their words, for a while, the silence just now seemed to be gone, and there was a voice of echo, and then turned around to praise the wisdom of the saint, so that there was such an outstanding prince. In the midst of praise, the smile on the emperor's face had disappeared at some point, leaving only a faint anger in his eyes.

The emperor was silent, and the flattery of the people below gradually subsided.

Just when the hall was about to fall into silence again, Yang Jingyong, the protagonist of this lively scene, suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Father, although the sons are dull and not as smart and exquisite as the brothers, the sons are willing to share the worries of their fathers...... The sons invited themselves to handle the promotion of 'cowpox', so as to curb the pox epidemic as soon as possible, reduce the disasters of the people, and relieve the worries of their fathers...... I beg my father's permission. ”

Emperor Jingshun looked at his second son who knelt down under His Majesty Dan with a calm face, and was silent for a long time, just when everyone in the hall held their breath, so as not to affect the emperor's anger, Emperor Jingshun smiled.

"Good, good, what a dull but willing to share my worries!" Laughing and praising loudly, Emperor Jingshun did not immediately agree to King Yong's request, and turned his gaze to Hubu Shangshu, who had been silent, "Wei Yu, how much grain can you allocate over there?" ”

Wei Yu, the named Shangshu of the household department, swallowed his saliva, stepped forward steadily, knelt down behind King Yong and King Qi, and said: "Back to the emperor, the taxes received by the household department last year, except for military salaries, river workers, and relief, there is not much left...... Well, at this time, there are only about 20,000 taels of silver! ”

Wei Taishi, who was dressed in a real red silk court dress in the court, glared at Wei Yu, but he didn't see it at all, or pretended not to see it when he saw it, paused, and continued: "In two months, after the wheat harvest gets a new endowment, the treasury will be able to allocate another batch of silver taels, although the amount may not be large, but the minister thinks that this cowpox is not a one-time thing, with the allocation of silver money, one city and one place to implement the past, but in three or five years, I will also clean up the plague!" ”

The emperor listened silently, and after the Hubu Shangshu was finished, he pondered for a moment, and then a touch of relief appeared on his face, and said: "What Wei Aiqing said is honest and calm, which is very in line with my intentions, so let's follow Wei Aiqing's intentions!" ”

"Yes, I obey!" Wei Yu bowed in response, got up and bowed his hands, and slowly retreated to the court.

"Jing Yong, can you hear what Wei Yu said?" The emperor turned his eyes to look at the second son and the third son who had been kneeling under His Majesty Dan, and his eyes were fixed on Yang Jingyong and asked.

"Yes, Erchen heard it!" Yang Jingyong's expression was calm and calm, and he responded loudly, but he didn't wait for the emperor to speak, looked up at the emperor, and continued, "Father, son, and retainers have not yet done anything......

As soon as these words came out, the people who had just targeted Wei Yu, as well as those who were thinking about it, all looked at it, and even the high-ranking Ninety-Five Venerable was slightly surprised: "Oh? What else? ”

Yang Jingyong took a step forward, bowed his head and bowed: "To promote the method of cowpox, Erchen had a general idea before. If this law can be implemented, not only will the implementation of cowpox not allow the imperial treasury to spend a cent, but even the repair of river works, road and bridge construction, and even disaster relief will greatly reduce the cost of the treasury, and even the treasury will not be allowed to spend a tael of silver. ”

As soon as they heard this, all the ministers showed surprise on their faces, and after looking at each other, they all fixed their eyes on King Yong again.

After Emperor Jingshun was surprised, he immediately smiled and said, "What do you think?" Could it be that what charity fundraising method you used in Nanzhili before? ”

Yang Jingyong looked up at the emperor, revealing a hint of confusion, and said: "Father is wise, charity raising is indeed a method of urgently raising silver taels, but it cannot become a regular practice, and if it becomes a regular rule, the merchant squire exploits too much, and the resentment is small. ”

"Oh, tell me, what new ideas have you come up with?" The Emperor continued to ask with great interest.

Yang Jingyong took out a piece of the fold from his sleeve pocket, held it up with both hands, and Han Xi, the great eunuch beside the emperor, walked down quickly from His Majesty, took the fold with both hands, returned to His Majesty, and handed it over to the emperor.

Emperor Jingshun looked at the second son who was kneeling below, his face was calm and calm, there was no nervousness, and even the eyes that looked over were very calm, and they were clear and calm, not arrogant or impatient; In contrast, the third son, who was kneeling behind him, had a gloomy face, staring at his second brother's back with vicious eyes......

In this comparison, the contrast is so strong that it can be called an instant distinction between advantages and disadvantages!

It's just that, after all, they are all his sons, the eldest son and the third son are still from the queen of the Yuan who he respects a lot, thinking of the love of the hair, he always wants to forgive, but he always disappoints him more and more.

Retracting his gaze and hiding the disappointment and bitterness in his eyes, Emperor Invesco unfolded the fold in his hand and browsed it quickly.

Originally, he planned to browse the great righteousness, but at first glance, he was attracted by the content of the excerpt, and even some sentences, he read it several times, carefully considered, and before he knew it, it was a quarter of an hour later, and the emperor finally withdrew his gaze from the excerpt and raised his head, looked at the second son who was still calmly kneeling under His Majesty Dan, and asked slowly: "The way you said that you can allocate one or two silver coins without the treasury is -- work for relief?" ”

Yang Jingyong was not different, and said respectfully: "Yes, the idea of Erchen was ...... when he was in Nanzhili."

"Oh, I thought of it when I was in Nan Zhili? Could there be a specific reason? The emperor seemed to be very interested in Nan Zhili, and interrupted Yang Jingyong's reply and asked.

"Back to his father, the son did not dare to conceal, at that time the son saw a certain Zhuangzi because of the heavy rain delayed the autumn ploughing, seeing that the autumn harvest was hopeless, the farmers were about to starve, the tenant of the farm came up with a way, let the farmers plant seasonal vegetables and winter stored radish and cabbage and other things, by her purchase, the money from selling vegetables directly reached the tenant rent, the rest of the part was more than a season of autumn grain...... In addition, if some farmers have not rented their fields, the tenants will deduct the help from the work of cultivating the cultivated land for themselves, and in the same way, this part of the farmers will also have grain, rice, and winter clothing, so that they will not freeze and starve...... From this, Erchen thought of this method of 'work for relief'...... Erchen didn't dare to hide it, originally, Erchen planned to use it for the repair of the Yishui River and the post-disaster relief of Nanzhili......"

When it came to the river workers and relief in Nanzhili, Yang Jingyong, who was talking eloquently, sighed with a touch of emotion on his face. But these were enough, and Yang Jingyu, the king of Qi, looked at him with an even more gloomy gaze, as if he had forgotten where he was, faintly revealing a touch of viciousness.

The emperor sitting upright above also slightly suppressed the joy on his face, stared at the second son who kowtowed to the ground, looked at it for a while, and then quickly swept past the third son and the eldest son who had been watching from the wall next to him, sighed secretly in his heart, and said: "Although you have achieved success, after all, you have just come into contact with general affairs, especially silver and money accounts...... Wei Yu is the most proficient in accounting, you go down and discuss with Wei Qing, humbly ask Wei Qing to think about it for you, and then re-present it! ”

Although he did not immediately agree to King Yong's proposal, the emperor's words were basically fixed, and he appointed Wei Yu, the head of the household department, and asked him to help King Yong consider and discuss, and added a word of 'humbly asking for advice', which vaguely has the meaning of letting King Yong apprentice, and this time, it is almost logical for King Yong to include the household in the range of power...... At this point, I can't help but pay attention to all the bigwigs in the court, and even the emperor's eldest son, Chengwang Yang Jingfu, who has never been silent, finally opened his eyes and looked over.

For these, Yang Jingyong didn't seem to notice anything, only listened to the emperor's affirmative words, his face bloomed with a touch of joy, respectfully kowtowed and thanked him, immediately got up, turned around and came to the front of Hubu Shangshu Wei Yu, bowed down and said: "I hope that Lord Wei will not dislike Jingyong for being stupid, and teach more!" ”

Although the emperor spoke, Wei Yu didn't dare to accept the courtesy of a prince so loudly, and hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way, but heard the emperor on the throne smile and said: "Wei Aiqing, since you are asked to teach him, this gift is also acceptable, you don't have to be too humble!" ”

The emperor spoke again, Wei Yu didn't dare to hide, stiffened and received a long bow from Yang Jingyong, the prince of Yong, and also bowed back.

Immediately, Han Xi once again confirmed that the ministers had nothing to do, and immediately announced his withdrawal from the court.

Yang Jingyong sent the emperor away with everyone, and simply walked out of the Qianqing Hall with Wei Yu.

Leaving the Qianqing Palace, Wei Yu was also used to being alone, and at this time, following Yang Jingyong was only a little uncomfortable at first, and soon he was calm.

Outside the hall, the world was opened, and a few important ministers seemed to be scattered. In particular, King Cheng and King Qi left in a hurry after leaving the Qianqing Palace, and several ministers also left, and those like Yang Jingyong and Wei Yu who walked out slowly and methodically gradually became cleaner.

Wei Yu walked out unhurriedly, and said lightly: "King Yong just talked about that 'work for relief' was born from a Zhuangzi in Nanzhili, according to Weichen, King Yong should see more than those two things, right?" ”

Yang Jingyong didn't seem to expect Wei Yu to ask like this, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, and then he replied with a smile: "What Master Wei said is that I have seen a lot in that Zhuangzi...... It's just that some things are too complicated and not suitable to be said in the court. ”

Wei Yu, who has always been unsmiling in the court, seems to be very peaceful at the moment, and listens to Yang Jingyong claiming to be self-proclaimed, so he also said casually: "Can you tell me about it?" ”

"As long as Master Wei is interested in listening, naturally there is nothing to say!" Yang Jingyong also smiled cheerfully, and then said, "Due to the flood and plague, there are many acres of abandoned fields in Nanzhili, and when I was in Nanzhili, I would determine the number of acres of abandoned fields with local officials and resell them, and the tenant I mentioned also bought a few places." There was a new Zhuangzi next to a lake and tidal flat before her, so she summoned the old and weak women and children in the Zhuangzi to dig water chestnuts on the lake beach, and she paid for a part of the water chestnuts they dug......

Yang Jingyong didn't speak quickly, but the officials who left the palace from the Qianqing Palace all went to Xihuamen, and it took half an hour to go all the way, but it was enough for him to finish a series of things clearly.

Wei Yu was initially only interested in what Yang Jingyong called 'cash-for-work', but gradually, he also heard something.

If you say that one or two things are seen by King Yong himself, it is just that, but Yang Jingyong said it in one breath, and he actually said seven or eight things, and according to the sporadic information in the words, it is not difficult to judge that these things are not temporary things, some things happened when Yang Jingyong was in Nanzhili, but some things, such as Yang Jingyong's mention of 'green and yellow do not pick up', are obviously things in the early spring of the year after the year. King Yong returned to Beijing a year ago, and what happened after the year was naturally not what King Yong saw with his own eyes. And listening to Yang Jingyong's mention of 'old and weak women and children', Wei Yu is very sensitive to think of the Nanzhili river workers taken over by the King of Qi, and there are rumors in Beijing these days, saying that the King of Qi will recruit men over the age of 14 and under the age of 60 to work day and night, including not only underage boys and old people in their fifties, but even those who have suffered from epidemics before and survived without exception...... According to the wind, the river workers were forced to dig the river canal and build a dam due to their frail health...... It is said that the river workers were harshly criticized and persecuted, and their condition was extremely miserable, and they did not have enough to eat...... There are many people with frostbite and frostbite, so the proportion of migrant workers is extremely high......

Thinking of the possibility he had guessed, Wei Yu's heart jumped suddenly, and he couldn't help but secretly regret that he shouldn't mention this topic. However, at this time, he asked and asked, Yang Jingyong had finished talking about what he should have said and what he shouldn't have said, and what Wei Yu could do could only pretend to be confused.

Brushing the slightly washed white beard on his chin, Wei Yu sighed: "Just now in the palace, I heard the prince talk about the tenant, I felt that it was a rarity, and after listening to the prince's words, I couldn't help but be ashamed to make me wait in the court for a long time." This person is not only extraordinary, but this compassion is even more rare......"

Yang Jingyong didn't seem to realize Wei Yu's avoidance, but also sighed: "Yes, I also felt it when I first saw it...... Amazing, since then, even if I have returned to Beijing, but still people pay attention to it all the time, but I don't want to, the more I know, the more amazing and admirable it is. As Master Wei said, she not only has an extraordinary mind, but also has a compassionate heart; And what is even more rare is that she did these things, obviously to give relief with a compassionate heart, but instead of taking out money and food to directly give alms, she used people to do work to grow vegetables, farm land, dig water chestnuts, and dig medicinal herbs...... and even repaired Zhuangzi's water conservancy, houses, and tree planting...... After this series of work, those people not only had the work to survive hunger and cold, but also because she gave a good pay, those people had more or less surplus silver in their hands, and even more rarely, those people also learned to dig herbs from these jobs, and there was an additional way to save themselves in the future; After repairing the water conservancy on the grange and tidying up the cultivated land, it will be much cheaper for the tenants to cultivate the land in the coming year, and the yield per acre will be more expected...... In summary, a cash-for-work meal not only alleviates hunger, cold, and hardship, but also prepares things a year later, or even many years later...... Summing up these things, I feel the deep meaning, the intentions, really, worthy of our deep reflection and self-reflection! ”

Hearing Yang Jingyong sigh like this, Wei Yu was silent for a while.

Because Wei Yu heard about it for the first time, he didn't think about it so deeply just now, and after Yang Jingyong, he actually felt the same way. It's just that these are not the most important things for a long-time person, and he is more certain at this time that the rumors about the wind of Nanzhili River Work are not groundless...... Next, I am afraid that this matter will make waves inside and outside the court...... As for him, although he was ordered by the emperor to consider the promotion of 'cowpox' for King Yong, after all, he had crossed the Ming Road in the court, so he let go of his hand to consider the staff, as for the rest...... Can you avoid it or avoid it!

Talking, the two finally walked to Xihuamen, Wei Yu wanted to transfer to the six household yamen office, Yongwang also had his own affairs to do, so they parted ways, Yongwang naturally agreed with Wei Yu to discuss the time of 'cowpox', and then he resigned from Wei Yu and got on his own eight-lift sedan chair.

Wei Yu looked at the sedan chair that was only regulated and not overly luxurious and gradually moved away, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then his brows furrowed tightly.

This King Yong has always been inconspicuous, and before he went to Nanzhili, he rarely even appeared in front of people. Since Nan Zhili came back, he was a blockbuster, and after he was crowned the king for his merits, he fell silent again, and now he suddenly went to the court to poke out such a big event...... These, quite a bit menacing, Wei Yu actually doesn't care much, he has always adhered to the direct minister, the lonely minister, only loyal to the one on the throne, over the years, many forces have not been able to win over the suppression everywhere, but he has also avoided it again and again...... It also relies on the emperor's sincere trust, and the saints are generous.

But today's court, the emperor appointed him to help King Yong consider the matter of 'cowpox', although he is in charge of the household, this hand-picking is not untargeted, but at this time Wei Yu is not thinking about the emperor's order on the surface, he pondered, the deep meaning of the emperor's ...... Did you hint at him and let him get closer to King Yong's side?

These things in the capital, Qiu Chen, who was far away in Anyang Mansion, didn't know about them.

After seeing Xu Qianzhi and Liu Zhanxiang, Qiu Chen looked at the dark sky outside, and then remembered Lin Xu and Daxinglai, since she entered Anyang City, she hadn't seen these two people! Not to mention such a major event in the workshop, Lin Xu shouldn't be ignorant of the road, but he didn't know that something happened to the workshop, and Lin Xu should go home when he went to Guo's mansion to take classes? Where did Daxing go?

So, she came out of the small flower hall and did not rush back to the backyard, but went to the door to ask the janitor Junzi and another family member. Only then did he learn that Lin Xu knew about the Lu Dao workshop, and after getting the letter early in the morning, he immediately sent someone back to Liu Jiaao to report the news, and Lin Xu took Daxing and Yuliang out of the door. As for where he went and what he did, it was not up to the Shunzi and his family on the door to know the Tao.

Qiu Chen asked how much he was relieved, since he had brought Daxing out with him, even if Lin Xu had any impulsive thoughts, Daxing would dissuade him, so as not to cause any trouble on the spur of the moment.

"When your second master comes back, let him go to the backyard to see me immediately!" Qiu Chen gave an order, and the two of them hurriedly agreed, and Qiu Chen took Chen and Yue Gui back to the backyard.

After a day of running around and thinking, Qiu Chen was really tired at this time.

Back in the backyard, she took the hot tea handed by Qingxing and drank two sips, then leaned on the big pillow and closed her eyes to rest.

Although her eyes were closed, such a thing was on her head, and she didn't feel sleepy, she only pondered in her heart, how to deliver a letter to the third prince, King Qi, and give him a copy of the basic recipe for making soap. Anyway, their workshop has also launched shower gel and shampoo, and the face wash can be launched directly, and then a variety of toiletries can be launched, and the soap can also rely on a good brand effect, as well as excellent quality, and constantly innovate to be invincible.

It's just that the soap-making workshop is not her business alone, she has to hand over the soap-making recipe, and she has to breathe with Yun Jichen and Liao Wenqing, and get the permission of those two people before she can act. Of course, this method of dealing with the party must also be carefully considered, so that the other party cannot feel that it is too easy, and it cannot really annoy people...... The proportions and tempers of this must be considered properly, so as not to ruin the wealth and not fall well, but to bring greater disasters to themselves.

No matter what the other party's character is, after all, he is the third son of the emperor, and now he has been crowned king, not to mention that she has almost no foundation with Liao Wenqing, it is the son of an official eunuch like Yun Jichen, and the difference between him and that one wants to be in heaven and on earth, and the consequences provoked are something none of them can afford.

Just thinking about it, I heard a sound of footsteps outside from far and near, and Qingxing in the second room just raised his voice to greet: "The second master is back!" ”

"Hmm." Lin Xu agreed, but before Qingxing could report, he had already lifted the curtain and stepped into the back room. "Sister-in-law!"

Qiu Chen opened his eyes abruptly and looked at Lin Xu who came in.

To her surprise, she saw Lin Xu's face radiant, not only did she look depressed and anxious, but her face was happy, and she even had some self-satisfaction and pride that she couldn't hide...... Qiu Chen couldn't help but secretly guess if Lin Xu had any good news, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, and while sitting up straight, he asked with a smile, "Where did the second brother go?" Looking at this happy face, is there any good news? ”

"Well," Lin Xu picked up the teapot on the kang table and poured a glass of water, poured it down, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, the fourth brother of the Guo family happens to know a hundred households in the military camp outside the city, thanks to this relationship, I went to the military camp with Daxing, and I also saw the two stewards who were arrested......"

"Oh? What about those two men? Can I ...... hurt my body? When Qiu Chen heard that Lin Xu actually saw the two stewards, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, but then he thought that in this era, he was arrested as a fugitive, but there was no such thing as torture to extract confessions, and it was normal to catch a prisoner with a board first, so he changed the topic and asked, "Where are they injured, and are they seriously injured?" Is life okay? ”

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, those two people are fine, except for one face with broken skin, but the legs and feet are slightly inconvenient, it is estimated that they have been hit by the board, but they should not be beaten hard if they can move...... Otherwise, there were no serious injuries...... Well, it shouldn't have passed the trial yet,......" Lin Xu answered Qiu Chen's question while recalling, and then, his face was full of joy and complacency, and he smiled at Qiu Chen, "Sister-in-law, my brother is really going to the right time this time......
