In the evening, Lin Mei looked at the bronze mirror and talked about the matter in detail with Luo Sicheng.

Under his analysis, he suddenly woke up, and everything seemed to be calculated by the emperor today, but he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and he thought he had entered the game.

"Bah, what about the scheming, who is attacking whose heart, who is entering whose game?"

It's too late!

was deflated, Lin Mei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering what Concubine De had revealed back then, and couldn't help but boldly suspect that she denied it again: "Thirty million taels of silver, this is a lot of money, is the emperor trying to expand the territory?" ”

"It's impossible, when the emperor was still the prince, he wanted to lead the army to lead the generals, but the emperor's suspicion and defense of him forced him to keep his head down."

Expanding the territory means going to war!

"But the emperor has no heirs, who will inherit the Jiangshan Sheji that has been defeated?"

"Salty and don't worry about eating radish, if the emperor really has plans to go to war, you might as well think about how you can earn 30 million taels of silver!"

Lin Mei gritted her teeth secretly in her heart......

……

In order to gather 30 million taels of silver as soon as possible, without stealing, robbing, or abducting, Lin Mei took advantage of certain privileges given by the emperor, first expanded maritime trade and opened up several new routes. She even took Brother Huai and Chu Tong to Dashi and Tubo by boat, one is to play, and the other is to increase knowledge.

Then vigorously develop agriculture, will take out a lot of crop seeds from overseas, first in their own Zhuangzi trial planting, after the success of the trial, expand the scale of planting, because of the hope is expensive, and so earn enough silver, push the boat down the river, the seeds and planting technology dedicated to the imperial court, can be described as fame and fortune.

During this period, Hongxing Restaurant opened 66 more branches across the country, as the so-called lice do not bite, debts do not worry. There is an emperor behind him to earn his waist, which one dares to seek bad luck without opening his eyes? !

You think that's the end of it? Then this silver is too easy to earn!

When she was worried, Lin Mei was eager to do private salt trading, but it was illegal to sell illegal salt, and both of Luo Lin and Luo Lin had people who were officials in the court, if the political enemy attacked and raped, the gains outweighed the losses!

In her heart, as long as she can make money and doesn't break the law, then do it!

In the end, Lin Mei aimed the market at Saiwai, she suggested to the emperor that two additional markets be opened to transport inland goods to Saiwai, and recommended Qi Niang to control the two largest trade markets, while she hoarded a large piece of land at a low price in advance to build houses and restaurants, which made people who were waiting to see her jokes be shocked when they learned the news that they were going to open the mutual market, and beat their chests and brains with envy.

Later, he used the same method to open up a new industry in Datang - real estate!

Lin Mei adopted a postmodern approach, hoarding a large amount of land on the outskirts of the city, and building a lot of houses and courtyards that were not in high demand according to the economic situation of each place.

……

When 30 million taels were brought into the treasury, Lin Mei was canonized as the "Lady of Yipinguo" and enjoyed the imperial court. At the same time, another canonized decree came to Brother Huai, the prince who was left behind in the people, finally cleared the clouds and saw the sky, kept the clouds open and saw the moon, and was specially named "King Huai".

This also means that Brother Huai's identity is announced to the world and he will see the light of day again! Lin Mei no longer has to worry about his life experience, and at the same time, she doesn't have to hesitate for his future.

The mother and son, who thought that they would never see each other again in this life, the county lord of Jiaoyue back then, who is now Concubine De, summoned Brother Huai and Lin Mei when they were dying.

Jiaoyue, who is a concubine, is getting weaker and weaker, holding Brother Huai's hand, looking left and right, and shouting stupidly, "Brother Huai!" ”

The child who was still in infancy back then has now become a handsome young man full of vitality, with cloudy eyes, eyes full of joy and reluctance, staring at him motionlessly.

After a while, she came back to her senses, and said to Lin Mei with a smile in her eyes: "I really don't know how to thank you, you have cultivated Brother Huai very well, and the mourning family can close their eyes even if they die." ”

Lin Mei panted when she said a few words, her face was full of horror, she sent someone to inquire a few years ago, and only said that she was slightly ill, but she never thought that she was so sick.

"Toffee Fushou Ankang ......"

"If you are relieved, don't say it, the mourning family's body is not done, if you haven't been hanging by ginseng decoction for more than ten years, you would have given up long ago...... Ahem......"

She hadn't finished her sentence yet, and she coughed even more.

The palace maid and the eunuch were on their backs for a while.

After the imperial doctor pricked it with a few needles, Concubine De's breathing was smooth.

"Don't be too excited...... concubine" Lin Mei wanted to persuade her to recuperate.

Concubine Kede waved her hand and dismissed others, except for her, and said, "The wisest thing I have done in my life is to entrust Brother Huai to you." I am not a good mother and I have not fulfilled the responsibilities of a mother. Fortunately, the sky has eyes, so that my mother and son can be reunited again, but I'm afraid that I can't wait for my brother to become my own son, and I want to ask you for one thing! ”

Lin Mei, who is also a mother, can feel this mood, and asked with some concern: "Does the concubine have a girl in the picture?" ”

"I look at your family's Chutong is good, and Brother Huai and I grew up together, so I can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart......"

"This ......" Lin Mei was a little embarrassed, not because this family business was not good, but because she opposed parents interfering in their children's marriages.

Concubine De looked at it with a blank eye, afraid that she would not be happy, and persuaded: "Brother Huai is what you have seen since you were a child, and you know best what kind of character that child is, but he has been a "brother and sister" for so many years, I heard that the relationship between the two of them is very good, so why don't we promote a good story." ”

"Yes." Lin Mei nodded, "The relationship between his brother and sister is indeed very good, if neither of them objected, I can't ask for it." ”

"Then it's settled." Concubine De rejoiced, and assumed that she had agreed.

……

The sun sets, and the sunset burns half the sky.

Brother Huai stood on the steps at the entrance of the palace and looked towards Lin Mei.

She stood there quietly waving her hand, peaceful and beautiful, like a rock, she said that no matter how big the wind, frost, snow and rain outside, no matter how changeable the outside world is, she will always be waiting for him at home, with hot meals, bright clothes, and warm embrace......

I don't know what awaits him in this palace...... Now that he is a prince, his identity is different, he is also a little worried and afraid, and he will hesitate and hesitate, but seeing his mother's figure, he suddenly felt more down-to-earth than ever.

Anyway, his mother was always there waiting for him.

………………

Liu Dawu, who was far behind the carriage, stood alone with his back hand, listening to the sound of horses' hooves and bones and wheels as he walked away, and her smile was still imprinted in his mind, as if it was just yesterday......
