As a batch of briquettes arrived in Dengcheng by water, it caused a slander among the city sergeants.

What is this coal mass for?

Useless!

There is abundant firewood and grass outside the city for heating; Iron smelting is inferior to coal, nor is it inferior to charcoal.

What is this coal mass for?

However, he also used food stamps to buy coal groups, and even wasted transportation capacity to transport them from Shuyang Pass to Dengcheng, and all kinds of discussions came to Guan Ji's ears.

For a while, I couldn't figure out the thoughts of the long-term Shi Lu Yi, and there were no experienced staff on the left and right, so Cai Zhaoji happened to live in the city and teach Tian Yan piano skills.

Now Cai Zhaoji has gray hair and an aging face, but it adds a kind and gentle temperament, and is not stained with dust.

She is dressed in plain fine linen, the color is simple, but the cutting is decent, and the ordinary muslin is cut and embroidered, and it is not inferior to the brilliance of Shu brocade.

In addition to Cai Zhaoji's ability to wear cloth clothes with style and personality, another person with such a strong clothing personality is Tian Xin.

It can be said that it is a strange costume, and it can also be said that it is a change in the nature of Hufu riding and shooting, Tian Xin has designed a lot of clothes, only some clothes are clear to Guan Ji, and they are really strange costumes that cannot be passed on.

In the back garden of Princess Dengguo's mansion, in addition to a water storage pond, the remaining dozens of acres of land are lush alfalfa.

White rabbits, green birds, and little green horses stroll leisurely, Cai Zhaoji caresses the piano in the pavilion, and more than six years old nephews follow Tian Yan and other more than 20 little girls to chase and play here.

When Guan Ji came, there was quite a scene, there were women who played with swords, and there were also healthy women with various accompanying utensils.

After a little salute, Guan Ji sat with her sleeves upright, looking at the children playing in the distance, and her eyes were pleased: "Cai, how are you studying lately?" ”

"Chen Gong instructed that only allusions and words and piano skills should be taught."

Cai Zhaoji also looked sideways, and there were only two boys in the group of girls, one was a little nephew, and the other was Guan Amu, the son of the Marquis of Shang, who was also the future Duke of Song.

Four-year-old Guan Amu and his little nephew are collecting dandelion flowers that are struggling to survive in the alfalfa field, and these small golden flowers are braided into a head ring.

Looking at Guan Amu, Cai Zhaoji couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and calmly recounted the content of the lectures in the past few days.

When Guan Amu was one year old, it happened to be after the victory of Maicheng, and Guan Yu's predetermined name for his eldest grandson at that time was Guan Yue.

At that time, Tian Xin was present and thought that the word Yue was suspected of Jin Kemu, which was quite inappropriate, so he had the nickname Amu that symbolized health, and the official name of the reservation became Guan Yue.

Three years ago, the prosaic nickname Amu, looking back three years later, is full of legends.

Guan Ji bowed his head slightly and asked: "There are many slanders inside and outside the city about Lu Changshi's purchase of coal groups, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, Lu Changshi is one of the three heroes of Jiangdong, and is deeply trusted by Gong Chen, and is cited as the pillar stone of the humerus. The concubine thought that Lu Changshi's actions must have deep meaning, and the concubine body could figure it out. If His Highness is not puzzled, why not summon Lu Changshi to ask and understand? ”

When Cai Zhaoji spoke, there was a faint flash of brilliance between her eyebrows, and she was looking forward to it.

Guan Ji pondered about this matter, now that Tian Xin is not there, the protector Liao Li has been transferred to the Governor of Xiangguan Grain Straw, and the military affairs and civil affairs of Nanyang and Deng Guo two counties are in the hands of Lu Yi, the long-term commander of Deng Guo, and Xu Zuo, the Marquis of Jianyang, who is left behind in Sima Nanyang County.

The serious marching commander Shi Pengyi ran around again to interview the meritorious officials of Beifu, Peng Yi was tired of it, and others were not easy to say.

There is also Sizhi Zhang Wen, who is now waiting for Liu Chan and the Han court to move to Jiangdu, and is going to Jiangdu to take office, and is gradually handing over authority to his deputy Zhou Bai.

Guan Ji thought about it for a while, took out a waist card and handed it to the sword maid on the side: "Zhao Xiangguo Lu Yi, Si Zhi Zhang Wen, Bai Niu Jun asked questions and answers at the middle gate of Duke Chen's mansion." ”

The maid took the waist card and walked away, and Guan Ji sent another person to clean the middle gate of Duke Chen's mansion and make arrangements.

Around noon, Lu Yi, Zhang Wen, and Dian Man each wore scarlet robes and came in formal clothes.

The middle gate of Chen Gongfu is boundary, south of the middle gate, two groups of guards hold halberds and stand by the wall; The middle door hangs a layer of bamboo curtains, and the north side of the bamboo curtain is Guan Ji who sits under the green umbrella cover.

She applied white powder to her face, and beside her, a female warrior with a cronie held a green sword, and a maid with a sword held a red cloth lacquer plate, and under the red cloth were the tiger charms of the various armies of the Northern Mansion.

The three of them bowed down and were able to sit down on the futon.

This is the first time that Guan Ji has been asked about government affairs, in which Zhang Wen sits at the very edge with his hands tied, he is a witness.

Lu Yi is the prime minister of Deng Guo and the long history of the Beifu stay, and is the state minister of Guan Ji Deng Guo; Dianman is the first feudal monarch canonized by Guan Ji...... Both of them can be considered her servants.

Affected by Tian Xin's day and night, Guan Ji's speech was close to Tian Xin's tone, and the pronunciation seemed accurate, and the wording was arbitrary: "Xiangguo, this palace heard that Xiangguo allocated 30,000 stone of food stamps, and wants to buy coal balls?" What is the use of coal balls? ”

"Your Highness, the coal ball is useless for the time being."

Lu Yi's head hung down, and his eyes stared at the few little black ants moving in front of the futon: "The people of Pheasant County are mostly poor in farming, and the harvest has failed due to drought. If the production is reduced, he is afraid of the year-end tax, and he will flee at home. ”

"In today's world, people and land are lost, and people and land are lost; Lost land and people, people and land coexist. ”

"The minister's policy is intended to save people."

Dian Man's head was also drooping, and he squinted his eyes slightly to look at Lu Yi, feeling that what this guy said was very reasonable.

Zhang Wen frowned slightly, and listened to Guan Ji on the other side of the bamboo curtain ask: "If you want to keep Jing Man to naturalize, why do you want to dig coal groups?" Logging and labor, Deng Guo and Nanyang are all in ruin, and manpower is scarce everywhere. Xiangguo just made the people mine the coal group, which was really difficult to convince the palace. If there is no other reason, please change the decree to prevent the people from slandering. ”

"Yes, the minister has other considerations, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to say."

Lu Yi still hung his head: "The public is full of talents, and the benevolence and trust are in the world, and the virtuous and generous people of all countries are admired and praised." In ancient times, there was a Shang martingale standing wood, and the present minister followed suit, just to borrow the useless coal group, so that the countries knew that the people of Nanyang and Deng were bathed in the kindness of the public, and they were willing to work for the public paper. ”

"The ministers are the ministers of Chen and Deng, and the food is the king's affairs, and the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period is also located."

Lu Yi's eyes were solemn, and his tone was solemn.

Dian Man's sleeves were clenched with fists, and the urgency in Lu Yi's words made him hold his breath.

Coal clusters are useless, and the people who can dig coal balls are the root of the competition among the nations today.

The hearts of the people in the two counties are cohesive, which is the best answer to the internal and external problems.

Zhang Wen is also tight-skinned, and this expedition to the DPRK and China is also a foregone conclusion, and many things cannot be resolved through negotiation in the court, so it can only be done according to the potential meaning of the Lu Discussion.

The imperial servant Meng Da could not enter the court to participate in politics, and he was the most loss-making Jiuqing, he could not proclaim Tian Xin's will to the court, nor could he prevent and disrupt other policies against himself.

On the other side of the bamboo curtain, Guan Ji was silent for a moment and asked, "Xiangguo, has the matter come to this point?" ”

"The minister has lived in the land of tigers and wolves in Jiangdong for a long time, and in today's world, there are tigers and wolves in the world, how dare he slack off."

Lu Yi's eyes were fixed, and his language was penetrating: "The minister is entrusted by the public to the foundation, and he is willing to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

Guan Ji put white powder on her face, gently stroked her abdomen with her left hand, and raised her eyebrows to look at the sky dotted with white clouds: "Xiangguo, approaching the summer festival, do you want to summon Yu Shifang back to Dengcheng and discuss in detail?" ”

"Your Highness, you should respond to all changes with the same. If the sky tilts, the two counties can gather 100,000 male soldiers overnight, which is enough to wait for the return of the public. ”

Lu Yi said that his head hung lower: "There is a drought this year, and the ministers intend to accumulate grain, and this is a bad deal for the armies." The public returns to accountability, and the minister bears it. ”

Even if the supply of military rations for Kamachao and Zhang Bao is forgotten, they still have to be stuck in the flat.

Guan Ji thought of her father, who was so violent that she might smash the tea bowl, and then thought about the child in her belly, as well as Ah Ping, who was babbling, and Ah Mu, who was like a son next to her.

Thick fat powder coated her face, no one could see the change in her face, and she spit out one word for a long time: "Good." ”
