Qin Zhen was a resolute person, so he immediately gathered people to study the salt introduction law in detail, and quickly wrote an excerpt of the research results, and sent a fast horse to the capital overnight.

"At this time, it is a good expedient measure to use the salt introduction method, which can solve the urgent need. However, the prince of Jing'an will have to take some risks. Second Master Ji said slowly.

Coming out of the guest house, Master Ji, Master Ji San, and Ji Xiaotang went to the library to sit and talk.

"To get things done, you have to have people who take risks, don't you?" Compared with Ji Er's worries, Ji Xiaotang seemed to be much more relaxed. "And, according to my father and uncle, the prince is the kind of person who is afraid of taking risks?"

"Hmm......" Master Ji Er was silent in thought.

Master Ji San was much happier, he felt that regardless of the identity of the prince, Qin Zhen was still very angry with him.

"I think the prince is a person who has the courage and can do something, and he will never be afraid to take risks. With the presence of the king, the people of this world should be saved. ”

"Third brother, be cautious." Second Master Ji said immediately.

Master Ji San's face changed slightly, and he got up in a hurry, nodding solemnly.

"Xiaotang, what do you think?" When Master Ji San sat down again, he asked Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang's opinion is basically the same as that of Master Ji San. Qin Zhen is indeed not afraid of taking risks, but he will not take unnecessary risks. If the salt introduction is done, it will immediately greatly alleviate the problem of food shortage in Daqin.

The prestige of the prince of Jing'an will also be in full swing.

"Daddy, I know you're worried. But look at the world. There is no place for us to hide, and no one will allow us to dodge. "If you can't hide, you can only face the difficulties.

"I know." Second Master Ji sighed and nodded. It was precisely because he understood this that he did not stop Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang gave a proposal for the matter of salt introduction, and they no longer need to worry about the rest of the things. They had come to the library to discuss something else important.

"Because when it comes to salt, the matter of going to sea is diverted. The prince will soon mention it again, how should we deal with it when the time comes. Discuss it carefully. Second Master Ji said.

"Uncle goes to sea again, I'm afraid it will be inevitable." Ji Xiaotang said.

Second Master Ji nodded.

Master Ji San also nodded, he was very willing to go to sea again. There is no fear of hardship or danger at all.

"However, Uncle can't help in vain." Ji Xiaotang said again, "Daddy, uncle." I have already thought of a way out for the Ji family. Success or failure. It's been a few days now. ”

Ji Xiaotang lowered his voice and said something to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San.

Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji were silent for a long time.

"This ...... Will it work? After the silence, it was Master Ji San who opened his mouth first.

"Whether this thing can be successful or not, the key lies in the attitude of the prince." Second Master Ji continued.

"Daddy's right." Ji Xiaotang nodded, "We already have enough sizes in our hands." Moreover, today's salt introduction proposed, I watched the prince's behavior, which is the same as I guessed. This game. I bet he'll say yes, and I have the ability to say yes. ”

Second Master Ji thought for a long time. Finally, nod solemnly.

"This matter depends on Xiaotang's meaning. If it can be done, all parties will be happy, and my Ji family will be able to live in the world from now on, and there will be no worries. ”

The three of them discussed the matter properly, and each acted separately without mentioning it.

……

Qin Zhen wrote several times, and tried to discourage public opinion, and in mid-March, the imperial court promulgated a decree on the introduction of salt in exchange for grain. As soon as the decree was promulgated, there were indeed wealthy families from all over the country who responded.

Because Qin Zhen was stationed in person, the response of the wealthy families in Ren'an Mansion was even more positive.

On this day, Qin Zhen came back from outside, obviously in a very good mood, and ordered him to go down, let people prepare a small banquet, and prepare to invite the Ji family and Qi Younian to have a drink in the evening.

Ji Xiaotang knew the news later, and knew that Qin Zhen was in Ruyi Garden at the moment, so she cleaned up a little and took Jin'er, Xiu'er, Cui'er and Bi'er to Ruyi Garden.

The road was unimpeded, and Ji Xiaotang met Qin Zhen in the pavilion next to the rockery.

"Xiaotang is so interested." Qin Zhen said to Ji Xiaotang with a smile, "The method of salt introduction has now begun to bear fruit. Thanks to Xiaotang's advice, I haven't thanked Xiaotang properly. After a while, I asked people to prepare a small banquet, and Xiaotang will definitely appreciate his face. ”

Qin Zhen is really in a good mood.

"The prince is invited, dare not obey his orders." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, "It's just a matter of salt introduction, and I don't dare to take credit." Either the prince has great wisdom, great strength, and great compassion, or no matter how good the good policy is to help the world and save the people, it cannot be implemented. ”

Ji Xiaotang's words did not have any outrageous beginnings, and they could be regarded as a praise of Qin Zhen's merits. However, Qin Zhen obviously didn't think so, he looked at Ji Xiaotang with deep meaning in his eyes.

Qin Zhen will hold a banquet tonight, and he will definitely bring up the matter of letting Master Ji San go to sea again. And there are some things that must be made clear before Qin Zhen speaks.

"Although the prince is here for the second time, I am afraid that I have not seen it all in this Ruyi Garden." Therefore, although he was looked at like this by Qin Zhen, Ji Xiaotang simply changed the topic.

"Then let Lao Xiaotang lead the way." Qin Zhen said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang led Qin Zhen and walked all the way along the bluestone road in the garden, but he turned out of Ruyi Garden. Qin Zhen looked left and right, but didn't say a word, and only said some other gossip to Ji Xiaotang.

Soon, Ji Xiaotang led Qin Zhen to the front of a small courtyard.

This small courtyard is next to the Ruyi Garden, small, chic and very naïve, it is the Ji family's small study.

"Please go inside and drink tea and sit down." Ji Xiaotang said.

Qin Zhen was not surprised at all, on the contrary, he seemed to have guessed that Ji Xiaotang would bring him here.

The courtyard of the small study was quiet, and there were only two little girls guarding under the corridor, seeing that Ji Xiaotang was coming with Qin Zhen, the two little girls were busy saluting, and they were about to report to the house.

Ji Xiaotang waved his hand lightly, asked the little girl to step back, and took Qin Zhen straight up the steps, lifted the curtain and walked into the house.

Weather in March. There were still two braziers in the room. The room was warm and full of the strong smell of herbs. This is by no means a comfortable environment for the average person. What's more, it's Qin Zhen.

However, Qin Zhen entered the house, but as usual, there was nothing unusual.

Qin Zhenyou looked around, and his gaze immediately fell on the short kang near the window.

Xie Huaijin was wearing a thick cotton robe and sat on the short kang, Ji Xiaoyun was holding a medicine bowl in her hand, and Lamei was holding a plate of candied fruit in her hand. They all stood under the kang.

Ji Xiaoyun was persuading Xie Huaijin to take medicine.

"Brother Huaijin, it's time to take medicine." Ji Xiaoyun said softly.

Xie Huaijin pouted and twisted his body. He refused to take his medicine happily.

"I don't eat, you always lie to me. It is said that medicine is not bitter, but it is bitter every time. ”

"I don't lie to you this time. Lang Zhong changed the prescription, and this medicine was much better than the last one. Ji Xiaoyun said patiently.

"How do you know?" Xie Huaijin didn't believe it. A pair of eyes looked dark and large on a thin, still somewhat pale face.

"Of course I do. I just tasted it. Ji Xiaoyun said, "Brother Huaijin, hurry up and take medicine." ”

"Then, take a mouthful of medicine, and eat a piece of candied fruit." Xie Huaijin blinked, stretched out his finger and gestured.

"Okay, a mouthful of medicine, a piece of preserves." Ji Xiaoyun responded good-naturedly.

Xie Huaijin stopped dodging at this time. Let Ji Xiaoyun feed him medicine, and sure enough, he drank a small sip of medicinal juice. You have to eat a piece of preserves.

Ji Xiaotang led Qin Zhen to stand at the door, and did not go inside, nor did he make a sound to alarm Ji Xiaoyun. Seeing this, Ji Xiaotang looked sideways at Qin Zhen's face, and then retreated from the room lightly with Qin Zhen.

"Lord Wang, this ...... It's Xie Huaijin. Standing in the courtyard of the small study, Ji Xiaotang said to Qin Zhen.

Xie Huaijin was seriously injured, and Ji Xiaotang and others explained to Qin Zhen that Xie Huaijin had been kept in the dark about Xie Ziqian's rebellion, and on the night of the anti-thief rebellion, Xie Huaijin bravely stood up and resisted Xie Ziqian with his life.

Ji Xiaotang pleaded, and considering the situation in all aspects, Qin Zhen also acquiesced to the Ji family taking care of Xie Huaijin. After all, taking away a half-dead Xie Huaijin didn't do him any good. And let the Ji family take care of Xie Huaijin, Xie Huaijin can recover, and the Ji family will remember his favor because of this.

Xie Huaijin was in the small study, only Ji Xiaoyun took care of the girl, and Li Langzhong came to check the pulse on time, and other than that, there was no contact with outsiders.

Right under Qin Zhen's nose, the Ji family knew and did it properly, and Qin Zhen was happy to give this favor.

However, this situation can only be temporary. Once Xie Huaijin's body is healed, he will no longer have a reason to live in the Ji family. At that time, the prison of Qingyuan County Ya, and then, it is estimated that it will be the death row of Dali Temple in the capital.

Ji Xiaotang tried his best to keep Xie Huaijin, but it was not so that he could have a healthy body so that he could go to prison and be beheaded for public display.

He ...... It's always been like this? Qin Zhen asked.

"I slept for four days, and everyone felt that there was no hope. When I woke up, I didn't recognize anyone. Not only that, it seems that there ...... here," Ji Xiaotang pointed to his head, "only seven or eight years old." …… He was so badly injured that he hit his head. Lang Zhong said that this is already the best situation. ”

"Can I recover if I continue to raise it?" Qin Zhen asked again.

"There is no way to get fully recovered, and the best is the way it is." Ji Xiaotang said.

At this point, Ji Xiaotang did not tell the truth completely. After all, miracles are rare in this world.

Qin Zhen was silent.

This kind of Xie Huaijin is useless to him.

"Brother Huaijin's background is very pitiful." Ji Xiaotang's gaze casually swept over Qin Zhen's face, and he guessed his thoughts.

"Oh?" Qin Zhen seemed to be thinking about something, and he responded.

"Others don't know ......, we grew up together since we were children, and the Xie family doesn't shy away from me. Brother Huai Jin is not born to Xie Zhixian and Xie Boniang. ”

"Oh?" This time, Qin Zhen turned his head and looked at Ji Xiaotang, all his attention was finally on what Ji Xiaotang said.

"Brother Huaijin was born and was brought by Xie Zhixian to raise Uncle Xie."

"You mean, Xie Huaijin is not Xie Ziqian's biological child, but the child of his relatives?"

"Nope. Xie Zhi County has no relatives. Before Huai Jin's brother was held to Xie Boniang, Xie Zhixian once told Xie Boniang that there was a child to be brought and raised as their child. Xie Zhixian refused to tell Xie Boniang in detail, only saying that this child was very important, valuable, and ......"

Ji Xiaotang said a little, and couldn't help but make people suspicious. Xie Huaijin turned out to be the child that Xie Ziqian killed and snatched?

In this world, what child can make Xie Ziqian do this, and he also said that he is worth a fortune.

Qin Zhen looked at Ji Xiaotang and was hesitant.

At that time, in the eyes of everyone, Xie Zhixian was a humble gentleman, so he naturally didn't think about it. But when I saw that he didn't show any mercy when he killed Brother Huaijin that night, and there was no pity or pain after that, I knew that this was the truth. ”

At that time, only the Ji family was present, and whatever Ji Xiaotang said was what it was.

Ji Xiaotang seemed to just sigh about Xie Huaijin's life experience, and after saying these few words, he stopped the topic.

"I heard that the prince is worried about the matter of the thief in Shuzhong?"

"Xiaotang also knows about this?"

"How could I not know," Ji Xiaotang smiled, "Now there are rumors outside, all of them say that they are the rebels in Shuzhong, the descendants of the first Song Dynasty, and now they want to support the foundation of their ancestors." ”

"Speaking of which, the Song Dynasty was destroyed by Yan, and there is no enmity with our dynasty to destroy the country. And now that it has been a hundred years, I really can't imagine that those people can attract many people under the banner of Song. Looking at Qin Zhen's face, Ji Xiaotang continued.

"The people have spread it all over the people," Qin Zhen's expression was unpredictable. Now there are several powerful anti-thieves in Daqin, Xie Ziqian's group has been mostly wiped out, and among the remaining forces, the one in Shu can be called the henchman of the imperial court.

The officers and men encircled and suppressed several times, but they did not get any benefits, but instead boosted the prestige of the other side.

"Brother Huang is tossing and turning over this matter, I naturally want to share your worries for you."

"If the so-called name is not right, it is not good. If it can be proved that they are not descendants of the first Song Dynasty, then the people's hearts will turn against each other, and the situation will naturally be reversed. Ji Xiaotang said. Moreover, according to the prince's words, the court has not given up the pursuit of the descendants of the Qi family and wants to treat them well. There are also many folk legends, and now it is said that the Qi family has no descendants, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public. If the dust settles sooner, it will be of great benefit to both the country and the people. ”

"If the prince does this, it will benefit all the people, and it will also be a great achievement."

Qin Zhen's eyes looked at Ji Xiaotang without blinking.

Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly.

"The prince tried his best to disagree with the public and promote the salt introduction method, what my father and uncle meant, the Ji family naturally supported it."

"And the matter of the sea that the prince raised last time. Uncle found high-yield crops overseas, and it is extremely drought tolerant, if it can be found back to promote, it is a miracle for the prince! ”

"Is that really the case?"

"Do I dare to deceive the prince, call my uncle after a while, and tell the prince in detail."

"If it's ......" Qin Zhen lowered his eyes and looked at Ji Xiaotang, "then Xiaotang's meaning may not be impossible to achieve." ”
