Although the collection of the liquor tax encountered many obstacles, it was still carried out by the emperor as the first priority, and after the dismissal of two local officials, everything went smoothly.

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the first batch of two million taels of silver was transported into Haojing.

Seeing the silver, the officials of the household department were naturally happy.

Among the officials of the six ministries, only the household ministry needs to raise silver taels, and the other five ministries only spend money.

They don't worry about this, they just want things to be done beautifully, and even if the money is spent, they don't feel distressed.

Seeing that the financial hole of the imperial court has become bigger and bigger in recent years, Tan Shangshu has always frowned, and he rarely sees a happy face in a year.

Seeing so much silver coming in this time, Tan Shangshu smiled with satisfaction.

The other officials up and down the household department also rejoiced when they saw Lord Shangshu happy, and by the way, they were full of praise for this rich wine order of the treasury, and they also began to sincerely worship the emperor.

At first, everyone thought that the emperor stood out from the children of the clan just by virtue of a little luck, but now it seems that he does have some unusual abilities.

When the emperor saw that the wine order was effective, he had a little more trust in Jiang Hengying in his heart.

When he first heard Heng Ying's suggestion, he didn't think so, thinking that although she was a woman, although she talked well, how could she be familiar with political affairs, and if she could listen to her, she would just look at her with a pleasing color.

In his limited life experience, women are just some brainless and beautiful guys, especially those who like to buy cloth, and they only know the shortcomings of their parents.

Although it is effortless to deal with, it is a lot less fun after all.

When I thought about it, I suddenly remembered the days of those cloth merchants, when he was only twelve years old, and his father died.

In a hurry, he sent his sister to his aunt's house, and he depended on his mother for his life.

As a distant branch of the royal family, Ji Fansheng experienced the warmth and coldness of human feelings early on.

Glory and wealth have long been an old thing, when my father was there, he still maintained a little dignity, but my father has been ill for a long time, and the business in the market has been neglected for several years, and even the shop was sold later, leaving only one stall.

The friends who used to come and go gradually decreased, and the courtyard began to be cold, and after moving twice, they were as depressed as the ordinary traders in Hongzhou City, where is there still half a cent of the decency of the past.

Pennsylvania, the winter in Pennsylvania seems to be particularly long, every morning, he packs up his things and prepares to go out of the stall, if the water has often finished practicing the sword, and the sweat on his forehead can't be wiped off, he greets him with a smile.

At this time, even if the north wind was bleak again, he also shook his spirits, and returned Ruoshui with a sweet and warm smile, as if his body was not cold.

In a flash, I haven't seen each other for a year. I don't know where she is now, I'm afraid the tide is coming.

Time is such a strange thing, sometimes you think she's long and unbearable, and sometimes you think she's gone too quickly.

Foreign objects can't be arbitrary, which is probably everyone's trouble.

But Heng Ying is not like this, when Ji Fansheng thought of Heng Ying, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Ruoshui is the one he can never grasp, but Hengying is different.

"Jingyun, follow me to Langhuan Pavilion."

In the past few months, Jing Yun has always wanted to remind the emperor that it is time to go and see Hengying, but he has always been unable to find the right time.

After the emperor rectified the court, his face was always gloomy, and with the triumph of General Pei Shao, Yu Xi also sealed Shuyuan, although Concubine Shu liked Yu Xi very much, but the emperor was always faint.

However, there is a daughter of the Lord of Gyeonggi Province who is very favored after entering the palace, her father is only a six-rank official, but her daughter is very beautiful, even if she stands with those concubines from noble backgrounds, she will not fall behind.

In addition, this Lu Cairen is good at playing the piano, so the emperor often stays in her Chaoxian Pavilion.

At night, the sound of the piano is murmuring, and a few families are happy and a few are sad.

At first, those who laughed at her for being summoned by the emperor in a hurry on Chinese New Year's Eve, and then rushed back with a gray face, now they really regret it. One by one, they looked at the lights of the Chaoxian Pavilion day and night, and looked at the palace people who came in and out, and their eyes were red with jealousy.

If you want to say that the only person who can calm down, I'm afraid it is Shuyuan Yuxi.

Her rank is high, even if she is a favored concubine like Lu Cairen, she has to salute respectfully when she sees her, and she doesn't dare to show any arrogant colors.

What's more, Concubine Shu really loves Yuji, and always looks for opportunities to let her be alone with the emperor.

The emperor also gave enough face every time, always polite, and often had gifts, but he never went to the Chonghua Hall where Yu Xi lived.

No one can figure out the emperor's thoughts, even Jing Yun, who has been following him all the time, is always wondering, who is in his heart?

Rare today, the emperor was suddenly happy and offered to go to Langhuan Pavilion, Jingyun's heart was really indescribably happy.

Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, such words can never be exported, but Jingyun knows that he has to do these things in order to make the emperor a Ming Jun, and he is on the side of the monarch, and he can be more stable.

A fool like Lu Cairen is useless except for making the emperor lose a reputation for being lazy, and for some reason, His Majesty has been caring for her for so long.

I have seen a lot of stories in the previous dynasty, and Jing Yun is also very familiar with the disputes in these harems. I have never seen Lu Cairen capture the emperor's heart just by virtue of his beauty, I really don't know what kind of luck he had.

But although the palace people are jealous of Lu Cairen's situation, they also have the transparent view of the root of their tongues behind their backs: although Lu Cairen is beautiful, her father has not continued to succumb to the little six-rank official, and has not followed the soaring Huang Teng.

What does this mean, the Holy Grace is nothing more than that.

As soon as this kind of remark spread, everyone laughed, and they suddenly became a little less hostile to that Lu Cairen.

When the chief manager Qingchi heard these gossip, he was supervising the materials of Bixiao Palace, "These shallow-eyed women really don't know what the Sacred Heart provides. Alas, it deserves to be left out in the cold. ”

The little apprentice next to him asked indistinctly, "Chief Administrator, I want you to say, which master in this harem is really favored by the Sacred Heart?" ”

"Look at it, who will enter this Bixiao Palace in the future, that is the woman that Your Majesty has in mind."

"This Bixiao Palace used to be lived by the Queen Mother, and His Majesty ascended the throne, so it was vacated. I used to hear that it was also magnificent, but it has been abandoned for many years, why did the chief manager say this? ”

"Feng Shui takes turns, this Bixiao Palace, it's time to run."

The little apprentice looked puzzled, what happened to the master today, and he didn't know which one to sing, so he mentioned Bixiao Palace plainly.

Since the Queen Mother went to Shoukang Palace, she is closer to Her Majesty than Bixiao Palace. I haven't heard that she will go back and see it again, how can this Bixiao Palace be in operation at a time?
