"Then pay me back a thousand taels, it's all right?" Elegy endured the pain, Si Chen immediately thought in his heart, eight years, better than eighty years, right? At least a little comfort, isn't it?

He was about to say yes.

Who knows, after Si Chen pondered for a moment, he said: "Princess, Si Chen and I have to go without eating or drinking for eight years before we have a chance to pay off the debts owed to you, can you really bear that Si Chen and I have not eaten or drunk for eight years?" ”

As he spoke, the tears in Si Duan's eyes flipped over, he was pitiful, and when he saw the elegy, he suddenly made a difficulty, "One thousand taels, more?" ”

One thousand taels, although it is quite a lot, but it will not take long to pay it back, because the elegy is extremely generous to them.

Let's not mention that eating and drinking in the princess's mansion doesn't cost anything at all, what is delicious and fun, and the elegy will also be given to them.

Let's just say that every time the elegy is rewarded, she will let them choose what they like in it and take whatever they want.

Si Chen was a person who didn't know what politeness was, although Si Du repeatedly reminded him that he would still pick what he liked, so the value of those jewels and jadeites in his room had already exceeded one thousand taels.

As for the moon silver? That kind of thing is good anyway.

He and Si Du don't have the bad habits of those sons and brothers in the imperial city, and they can't spend money if they want to.

So, a thousand taels is really not too much, okay!!

However, Si Du is still bargaining.

Si Chen couldn't help but want to give Si Dui a thumbs up at this time, Si Duan's bargaining ability is really amazing!

"Since you've said so......" Elegy stroked the tip of his nose, a little helpless. said: "Then you don't have to pay it back." ”

"Really? You really don't have to pay it back? Si Chen's eyes lit up, and he quickly rushed to Elegy and asked, "Princess, are you sure?" Do you really want me to pay back the money with Si Duan? One thousand taels! ”

Elegy was startled by Si Chen, who suddenly approached her, she blinked and said dryly: "Then, you don't have to pay it back, I don't need so much money anyway." ”

Whether it's food or use, someone will bring it without opening your mouth.

After receiving an affirmative reply from Elegy, Si Chen was truly relieved. Hey hey, smile. Said: "When you said just now that you want me to pay back 10,000 taels with Si Duan, I was really scared to death, and I didn't want my life in eighty-three years!" ”

"I didn't expect it to take so long, so you only have so much money a month?" I actually converted it to know how big the gap is. At the same time, I know how rich I am.

Elegy still remembers when he first arrived in Yakoku. And not favored. At that time, she still had 50,000 taels of silver pocket money, and later, her reputation became more and more famous. The status is rising, the emperor's rewards are increasing, and money is just a string of numbers for her.

"From today onwards, your monthly silver will rise from five taels to twenty taels, and at the end of the year, the monthly silver will be doubled, and there will be a reward for silver, you see, will this work?" After the elegy was finished, he glanced tentatively at the expressions of the two.

Si Chen was stupid on the spot, twenty taels, double the monthly silver at the end of the year, and a reward for silver, so isn't there more than two hundred taels a year for everyone? Whether happiness comes so suddenly, it's almost stupid!

Si Du is better than Si Chen, at least more reserved, "Princess, is it really good?" Suddenly give us so much more? ”

"Fortunately, compared to me, it's still a small thing...... "Elegy's monthly salary is one thousand taels per month, which is not counting the income of the property in her name, and whether the emperor is a reward.

Sure enough, the people of the royal family are all local tyrants! Si Chen and Si Du stayed by Elegy's side for so long before they deeply understood this truth.

Unbeknownst to Elegy, she unconsciously inflicted tons of damage on two destitute fellows.

At this time, she was still blinking her innocent and pure eyes, hoping that she could do her best to improve the living standards of the two.

Zhang Yuanwai was arrested, all the property of Zhang's house was confiscated, and Ning Yuanxing's permission was obtained, and all of them were distributed to the heads of the people in the city according to the head, and the people were naturally happy when they had money.

But this is also a symptom but not a cure, the fundamental reason why Guangyang City is so poor is not Zhang Yuanwai, he at most took advantage of the disaster to make a black money, after Zhang Qi was arrested, the current situation of poverty in Guangyang City has not changed substantially.

"If we don't solve the harvest problem, Guangyang City will continue to be poor, and we won't even be able to pay taxes." Ning Yuanxing analyzed.

Xie Tiancheng sat on the side and said: "Xia Guan has also thought of a lot of ways in this regard, and has also introduced rice varieties with excellent harvests in other areas, but the water and soil here in Guangyang City are very different from other places, and the harvest of rice and wheat is always more than half lower than that in other places. ”

"Is it just a matter of soil and water?" Ning Yuanxing muttered, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the table, which was a subconscious action he had always thought about, Xie Tiancheng shook his head, "Of course, drought is also one of the reasons. ”

The autumn drought is followed by the spring drought, and the water in the rivers is basically dried up, and there is no water to drink. As soon as Xie Tiancheng thought of this question, the joy of successfully capturing Zhang Qi also dissipated a lot.

"Sure enough, we still have to rely on the canal, and if the canal is successfully dug up, the water problem can be completely solved." Xie Tiancheng said unconsciously, but Ning Yuanxing was stunned, he remembered that it was the water supervisor who managed the canal...... Xiao Ng?

People from the Xiao family? Ning Yuanxing suddenly understood something, no wonder, she would obediently follow the southern tour, because of this incident, right?

Elegy, who was scurrying in the sun, shuddered, and rubbed her arms.

Si Dui, who was behind her, saw it and asked thoughtfully, "Princess, is there something wrong?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay, it's just, suddenly feel a little cold......? Elegy recalled the feeling just now, it was a sudden chill down the spine, or should it be more accurate to describe it as a chill?

"Cold ...... Is it? Si Du glanced at the sun shining in the sky, today is a sunny day that will not feel cold in a thin shirt! She couldn't help but glance at the elegy worriedly.

Sure enough, is it because the body is too weak?

"The food problem must be solved as soon as possible, and always buying food from other cities is never the way to go." Ning Yuanxing said.

"The lower officials will solve it as soon as possible." Xie Tiancheng still tied gauze with one hand to fix the wound, and the other hand tightly grasped his knee, in front of Ning Yuanxing, he always felt a lot of pressure.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xie Tiancheng always feels that today's prime minister, who is full of halo, is in a ...... mood Not so good?

Even though he behaved very casually, the cold air pressure emanating from his body was still difficult to ignore.

Doesn't it mean that no matter what the prime minister does, he won't easily reveal his true thoughts? Like now, with a big "I'm upset" written on my face, shouldn't it be the norm?

Or is it because he has managed Guangyang City too badly and disappointed this adult?

Thinking that it was because of this reason, Xie Tiancheng was even more anxious in his heart.

"Then Lord Xie has already figured out how to do it?" Ning Yuanxing asked, just verbally saying that it was impossible to really solve the problem, what he needed was a plan and action.

Xie Tiancheng suddenly came back to his senses from his own world, "Huh......?" ”

He did have the idea of coping with it just now, but now that he was questioned, his mind was also a mess, he stiffened, and stammered: "That...... That, Xiaguan, hasn't ...... yet."

"Haven't you thought about it yet?" Ning Yuanxing's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Lord Xie, were you perfunctory to me just now, or were you perfunctory to the people of Guangyang City?" ”

"No......" Xie Tiancheng opened his mouth, trying to explain.

It's a pity that Ning Yuanxing didn't give him a chance at all, and he said in a low voice: "If you can't solve this matter, I will send someone who has the ability to solve this matter to take over." ”

How can this be done?

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan will do his best to solve the problem of harvest, please rest assured!" Xie Tiancheng hurriedly said.

He had heard it a long time ago, and the current prime minister was a person who demanded perfection, and a person like him who couldn't get actual results was undoubtedly a waste in his eyes, and it was only a matter of time before he was replaced.

"What are you talking about? How serious is the atmosphere? The closed door was pushed open, bringing a ray of sunlight to the dim room, and the dull air dissipated.

Elegy strode in.

Ning Yuanxing and Xie Tiancheng turned their heads to look at her at the same time, and Xie Tiancheng hurriedly greeted her, saluted, and said, "I've seen the princess." ”

"Excuse me." Elegy waved her hand, she turned her head to look at Ning Yuanxing, "What were you talking about just now?" ”。

Ning Yuanxing raised his eyebrows, answered the question, and said, "Why is the princess here?" ”

"Can't I be here?" Elegy raised his eyebrows, not to be outdone, and asked rhetorically, he saw that Ning Yuanxing's face was not good, but Xie Tiancheng had a disparate face, and knew that Ning Yuanxing must have taken Xie Tiancheng again.

She wondered, why does this person always like to make others uncomfortable? Moreover, I always feel that this person is not in a good mood today?

It's better to make less trouble, Elegy settled down, looked at Xie Tiancheng again, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Xie Tiancheng was in trouble for a while, he smiled bitterly, and said: "Don't hide it from the princess, in fact, Xia Guan is discussing with the prime minister how to solve the problem of the harvest in Guangyang City." ”

"Harvest?" Elegy was stunned for a moment, but she forgot that the root cause of poverty in Guangyang City was not man-made, but drought.

"So, did you come up with anything?" There shouldn't be, otherwise Ning Yuanxing's face wouldn't have been so bad.

Xie Tiancheng shook his head stiffly and said, "I'm ashamed to say that Xia Guan hasn't thought of a good way yet. ”

I've tried everything, but none of them worked.

"Then what has Lord Xie tried?" Elegy asked along with his words, and glanced at Ning Yuanxing's face by the way.

Xie Tiancheng sighed and said. (To be continued......)
