Ling'er saw that King Heng was anxious to rush back to his house out of concern, and hurriedly asked: "If the disaster situation continues to develop and the imperial court is short of supply for a while, how should the prince, as the host minister to deal with the disaster this time?"

Seeing that Ling'er was asking about the worry in his heart at this time, King Heng was full of sorrow but didn't know how to answer. If the previous treatment method was that when the imperial court had an empty treasury, it was necessary to increase the taxes of the people, but that was really the next policy, and every time it caused the people to be angry, it was necessary to have several bloody cases. I think my father should not want to see that situation, but what can I do? Liang Jiufang sighed: "Until we are forced to do so, we will not be able to increase taxes, and now we can only take one step at a time."

Ling'er didn't expect King Heng to say such a thing after thinking for a long time, disaster relief is naturally a matter of difficulty on one side and support from all sides, which is understandable. But you have to make everyone willing, the cow doesn't drink water and presses his head, what is the way to search for the people at the bottom, and I can't help but remind: "I see that this high-ranking official and noble person in Beijing has a lot of famous families, why don't you let them take out some silver, they move a finger and it is thicker than the waist of ten ordinary people?"

King Heng looked at Ling'er in surprise and said puzzledly: "They naturally pay taxes according to the law, there is no need to say more."

Ling'er saw that King Heng was still not enlightened, and enlightened: "In addition to the taxes they should pay, it is understandable to take out some silver, originally their family has a big business, and taking out some of it has no impact on daily life, which is incomparable to ordinary people."

After listening to Ling'er's words, King Heng nodded and said: "What you said is very true, but you have to find a suitable reason, otherwise their too many opinions will inevitably affect the stability of the Great Zhou, and the stake in this should not be underestimated."

Ling'er thought for a while, then took the bill in front of King Heng and looked at it, and suddenly slapped the table and said, "I don't have to show up Princess Heng, and when the time comes, you will cooperate, and this time you will have to take some out of the pockets of those big families." After Ling'er finished speaking, he looked at the confusion and surprise on the face of King Heng in front of him, and comforted: "I'll go back and prepare, and hold a call meeting tomorrow in the Moon Tower, you must remember to take time to go over tomorrow night, I'll go back and make arrangements, you are slowly busy with yours." After speaking, he didn't wait for King Heng to speak, and immediately went out and left the resettlement area for the victims.

Nuo'er had just picked up her clothes from the car, and finally looked for them next to her, but she saw that the young lady had already come out and was about to ask questions. Ling'er hurriedly said: "The matter has been done, let's hurry back, there are more important things to do."

Then the two turned to the carriage and hurried back. Nuo'er suddenly said: "I actually forgot to condense the dew, how can this be good, how can she go back alone?" Ling'er said with an indifferent face: "Doesn't she like to come over to help, just leave more time, and it's okay for her to go back."

As soon as Ling'er arrived in Fangfei Garden, she said to Nuo'er: "You quickly went to find Qingxi." Qingxi has recovered recently, and when she heard that Miss was looking for herself, she hurried over, thinking, "Miss has been telling herself to recuperate these days, and if it weren't for today's emergency, she wouldn't have asked her to come by name." ”

Ling'er was unfolding the paper and thinking about how to write, when there were a few gentle knocks on the door, and she said casually: "Don't come in quickly." After speaking, I looked up, and saw Mu Chenfeng wearing a black fox fur, and the white ribbon of his hair fluttered with the wind.

Ling'er put down the wolf in her hand, and said with a slight smile: "Young Master Mu is always like rain in time, I want to look for you, and you have arrived."

Mu Chenfeng sat down on the Taishi chair on the side at will, and looked at Ling'er for a while, but saw that Ling'er's silver-white dress made the whole person stand out from the dust, and the light in her eyes was spiritual, far from being comparable to ordinary women. looked at the letter in front of him again, and suddenly realized: "Isn't it that the second lady is about to write a letter to the young master, then isn't it the right time for me to come, I should wait at home," and then he stepped forward to go out.

Ling'er said speechlessly: "It's okay for you to wait here, wouldn't it be easier for me to give it to you directly after I finish writing?"

Mu Chenfeng listened to Ling'er's teasing, and immediately laughed "haha", and said after laughing: "Ling'er said what to do with me, and anyone who can help should be responsible."

At this time, Qingxi had already arrived outside the door, and when he saw the situation in the room, he was hesitating to come in, Ling'er saw it and said with a smile: "Young Master Mu is already here, just go down and rest in Xi'er." Seeing this, Qingxi went to serve tea again before leaving.

Ling'er said with a straight face: "I want to feast guests in the Moon Tower tomorrow, can you help me arrange it in advance?"

Mu Chenfeng was stunned for a moment and said: "Why is this, there is always a reason for everything, you can tell me and hear it."

Ling'er knew that she was looking for someone to help, so she had to explain things clearly, otherwise it would be difficult for people to make detailed arrangements. So he told Mu Chenfeng about the thoughts that he had already thought about one by one, and explained in detail how to arrange the banquet. Mu Chenfeng was dumbfounded when he heard it, although he was young, he was exquisite, and Xunyinlou was also black and white on the rivers and lakes, and he had never seen anything. But after all, he is also a good thing and a playful master, listening to Ling'er's freshness, he couldn't help but nod and said: "This thing must be helped, if it is done, I will also be regarded as a merit, you just do your thing, and I will arrange the rest." After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ling'er to say a few words of gratitude, he turned around and disappeared.

Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief at this time, picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and after a short rest, she was busy with the pile of papers on the bookcase.

At this time, Baili Xin'er came in from outside after delivering things, and shouted while fiddling with the sugar man in his hand: "You didn't go to see my senior brother, why did you come back so early?"

Ling'er rolled his eyes and said: "He's busy over there, I'm also making a mess, so naturally I'll come back after delivering the love soup, have you delivered your things?"

Baili Xin'er grinned and said: "That's good, I've also finished the things you explained, if you have nothing to do, I'll go back and rest and come back to play with you."

Ling'er hurriedly scolded: "I know that I am greedy for fun, but today I am very tight, come and help me write an invitation, there are too many people, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep busy."

Baili Xin'er saw Ling'er flipping through a roster of officials in Beijing on the case of King Heng, and said strangely: "The wedding is in the past, what is this?"

Ling'er didn't say anything, and casually threw over a book of invitations that had been written. Baili Xin'er stretched out his hand to catch it, looked at it, and saw the book "I would like to set up a prayer for the peace of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people on the third day of this month, and King Heng and Princess Heng are invited", this invitation is written to King Rui and Princess Rui. Baili Xin'er saw a big question mark on his face. Ling'er didn't bother to pay attention to her, so she just said: "Hurry up and help write it, these posts must be sent out today, and you can't delay tomorrow night's banquet."

Baili Xin'er knew that he couldn't ask a reason at this time, so he took the pen and copied them one by one according to the format according to the names on the roster. The two of them were busy writing invitations here, and there was a lot of money over there, and all the families in the house went out to deliver door-to-door. At one time, all the famous officials in Beijing received an invitation from the Hengwang Mansion, and they inquired about each other, but no one knew the meaning. It was actually invited by the prince and princess, and there was one who didn't go, so everyone had to clean up and wait for tomorrow's time to come to the Moon Tower to find out.

Ling'er and Baili Xin'er were busy until late at night, and they were so tired that they couldn't lift their arms. Baili Xin'er was already slumped in the chair, shaking her arms and shouting: "Good sister told me quickly, and it is not in vain that I have worked for you until now." Ling'er comfortably enjoyed Nuo'er beating her shoulder, and said happily: "You are not helping me, the people of Da Zhou will naturally appreciate your kindness." Baili Xin'er was about to answer, and King Heng walked in from outside covered in wind and snow at this time, and said loudly: "It's not necessarily grateful, it's just that you made a big fuss this time, I see how you end up tomorrow night?" Although it was a reproach, there was a bit of a funny look on his face, and the corners of his mouth were crooked, and there was a little tiredness hidden in it.

Ling'er waited for him to finish speaking, then leisurely played with the ends of the hair on his shoulders, and continued: "I'm helping you and myself." If this disaster relief is unfavorable, the victims cannot be reasonably and properly resettled, and there are some riots or pressure on the court to ask for silver, your emperor's father will blame you somewhat, and of course I can't escape it. ”

King Heng's face was slightly gloomy, this was exactly what he wanted, the rice and grain he bought today was not enough, but even if he was so frugal, the disaster relief money he got from the imperial court at the beginning could not support more than a month, and there were still two months in winter. What makes him even more irritable is that the price of grain in Beijing has been increasing recently, and now the grain transported from outside is far from quenching his thirst. Thinking like this, the knuckles of the hand on the table already crumbled.

Seeing the situation, Ling'er asked worriedly: "The prince has something to worry about, you might as well tell me about it."

King Heng saw Ling'er's concerned look on his face, and unconsciously said the worry in his heart, I don't know when, it is a habit to talk to the person in front of him. After hearing this, Ling'er said hatefully: "This profiteer, there is a person who does not make a fortune in the country, but there must be a cause and effect in the matter, presumably there must be the biggest grain merchant to start, otherwise the small trader will not play a big role."

King Heng listened to what she said as he thought, but he knew that it was not easy to change, and he was now lacking in skills.

Ling'er smiled sweetly and said, "Don't think about it yet, it's serious for everyone to use some supper, I'm so hungry that I can't move."

While talking, Nuo'er and the maids brought a few soup bowls, and there were white round things floating in them, which were glutinous rice balls filled with sesame brown sugar. King Heng was observing how to eat this thing, and Baili Xin'er was already impatient to stuff a rice ball into his mouth, only to hear the sound of "oops", and hurriedly spit out the thing in his mouth again.

Ling'er couldn't help laughing when she saw this, and King Heng didn't feel that she smiled, but Baili Xin'er was so angry that she stared at her again and again. Ling'er smiled and said, "As the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, what are you in a hurry," she said slowly, and ate a rice ball in a small bite.

Baili Xin'er also learned from Ling'er, only to feel that every mouthful of rice balls was intoxicating sweet, fragrant, soft, and glutinous, and she didn't remember how she was burned just now, so she said straightforwardly: "I've been tired for half a day, and it's worth it to eat this recipe made by my sister." A sentence made everyone in the room laugh, and Ling'er said: "You gluttonous girl, you will be deceived by a cook tomorrow." After that, he was waiting for Baili Xin'er to go crazy, but he didn't expect to say casually while eating: "I won't go anywhere in this life, I just stay in this Hengwang Mansion, and I think there is no better cook like Princess Heng in this world." The words amused everyone again.

After the meal, everyone in the Hengwang Mansion rested in peace, and did not say anything.

It is only said that it is half of the night in the Moon Tower, but the lights are bright, Mu Chenfeng is sitting on the second floor watching everyone come and go, although it is a cold winter, everyone is busy.
