Listening to Yun Xi's last sentence, Yun Xi suddenly understood what Yun Xi meant by saying so many words just now.

"Brother Huang, this is going to cut the subsidy for us." He thought to himself.

Since the beginning of the feudal kings in the barbarian land of the frontier have come, in order to be able to open up the situation as soon as possible, so every year they will be allocated some money and food for free, these money and food are not much compared to the huge volume of the Ming Dynasty, but for these feudal kings is a lot.

Yun Xi has always believed that if a place is not self-sufficient after several years of development, it means that the ruler of the place obviously has a problem; Of course, it has only been more than three years since Yongfan was developed, and it is normal that he cannot be independent, but if he lacks this money, he will not be able to do it, and it will also prove that the manager is not qualified.

What's more, a large amount of money pouring into a place with a small population is not a good thing either, it will lead to inflation. At the beginning of the development, there were many things that had to be purchased in the Central Plains, but now the things that need to be purchased from the Central Plains have also been greatly reduced, so you can't let the money be deposited in the Yongfan.

Of course, Yun Xi was unwilling to reduce the subsidy, but the words had already come to this, and it was inconvenient for him to refuse, so he could only say: "Since the state is insufficient, the younger brother is not a person who does not know things, just according to the orders of the imperial brother." ”

Yun Xi heard him say this, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and said after a while: "Your Yongfan is newly created, and my brother will reduce your money by half next year." But you don't have to worry, the grain will still be given to you a lot. ”

"Yes, Brother Huang." Yun Xi said.

Yun Xi pulled him to talk again, rewarded him with many precious things, and saw that he was in a better mood before letting him retreat.

Yun Xi straightened his clothes, and as soon as he stood up, he felt a little dizzy, Huang Lu hurriedly stepped forward to support him and helped him to the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Xi Yao was sitting and talking to Xi Yi, when she saw Huang Lu helping Yun Xi walk in, she hurriedly walked over to help Yun Xi sit down instead of him, and took a towel from the palace maid to wipe his face.

"How do you do this yourself? What about the palace maids? "Yun Xi is not drunk, and he can still recognize people.

"They don't feel at ease when they come to wipe their concubines." Xi Yao said while wiping. The palace maid who was waiting beside her hurriedly retreated.

Xi Yaozai carefully wiped Yun Xi's face and neck, put the towel on the table, sat down next to Yun Xi and said, "Husband, you have been drinking and talking with the princes in the past few days, and you are half drunk every day except for yesterday with your second brother. If there is anything to command them, just whisper to them, why bother? ”

"It's different."

Yun Xi has talked about this matter with King Ning, King Jin, King Zhou, King Gan, King Dai, and King Qing these days, although some of them are not real feudal kings, but if they want people to send troops with only one page of holy decrees, they will naturally have to do it, but in the end, it is difficult to say to what extent the matter will be done, and whether the soldiers sent out can play a role, it is better to be pro-**. What's more, some vassal kings are also involved in other things, such as King Yong, who is involved in money, and Yun Xi can only entertain in order to get things done.

Xiyao only complained, she has always adhered to the purpose of not interfering in politics, and then stuck it on Yunxi's body and relied on it quietly. She knew that Yoon-hee liked to do nothing else, so she hugged her like that. Xiyi also walked over and leaned lightly on the other side.

The purpose of Yun Xi's complaint just now was to lead to the following topic, but it was not fake, he did envy the days of his reign as a vassal king, and he was also very tired of the daily busy official duties, if he didn't always come up with some new tricks, he would be bored to death. So when you have the time to do nothing, you don't do anything.

After a while, Yun Xi asked, "Did you send someone to the Liang Guo Mansion to pick up Siqi?" ”

"Someone has already been sent. The dinner party prepared for Siqi has also been ordered to be prepared in the imperial dining room. ”

"Siqi is nine years old this year."

"Yes, husband, Siqi is nine years old this year."

"I'll be ten years old next year, and although the child is not happy to live a full life, I have to add something more than this year."

"Hmm." Xi Yao was slightly uneasy. Yun Xi and Siqi are too close. It's just a child, but Siqi is nine years old, and this year is not too young, and Yunxi is not his father, or even an uncle or brother, so I'm afraid it's not good to be so close.

But Xi Yao hesitated for a moment and still didn't say anything.

Yun Xi asked a few more things about the palace, and suddenly asked: "Xiyi, when you were having dinner just now, your husband saw that you had a good relationship with the fourth concubine, the Wu family. ”

"Huh?" Xiyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Husband, the Wu family has been pulling the concubine to speak. Because she spoke wittily and had traveled to many places and was well-informed, the concubine was unconsciously attracted by her words. So there are a lot of words. ”

"You have to pay attention. This Wu is not a simple person, and her reputation in the capital was not a weak female stream when she was still in the boudoir. "Yes, sister, you have little heart, don't be calculated by her." Yun Xi and Xi Yao said one after another.

"It's better to be too worried than to calculate. Wu is not stupid, and he does not dare to do excessive things. It's just that you also have to be vigilant, don't tell others about the things in the palace and the things that your husband casually tells you. ”

"Well, husband, sister, I see." Xiyi agreed. But looking at her expression, she still didn't seem to care.

"Husband, tomorrow will be the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, but there is still a vassal king who wants to return to Beijing?"

"Yes. Uncle Twenty hasn't arrived in the capital yet. He came to him at a critical juncture of war because of his intention to enter the capital, so he came to the capital only after defeating that tribe on the twenty-third day of the lunar month. However, it was about a year since he arrived in Beijing. ”

In addition, Fujun also invited the king of Joseon, the king of Fuso, and the leaders of the Ainu people to enter Beijing. Fuso refused and sent a prince over; The Ainu did not refuse, but they were not yet a country, and the many husbands of the tribes could not receive them one by one. Only the king of North Korea, Zhu Fangyuan, will arrive in Beijing tomorrow. ”

"That husband still has to drink." Xiyao was not very happy.

"No, it won't. The affairs of North Korea are more complicated, and the husband plans to talk about it after the year. Yun Xi hugged her: "I always drink like this, and my husband doesn't feel good." ”

"That's good. It is best to spend a few days after the New Year, and the husband and king must drink on Chinese New Year's Eve and rest for a few more days. ”

"Good, good." Yun Xi said dotingly.

Soon the afternoon passed, and Yun Xi leaned against the two of them on the Luohan bed until it was dark, until Wang Xi walked in and asked: "Your Majesty, the queen mother, Concubine Hui, when will the meal be served?" ”

"Half an hour later." Yun Xi didn't have much appetite, so he looked at Ke Leak and ordered. Wang Xi was ordered to retreat.

But just after he retreated, Yun Xi suddenly asked Xi Yao: "A few days ago, Wang Xi suddenly told me that he begged me to reactivate Wang Bu and Wang Jin, what do you think?" ”
