A few days ago, Yan Sheng sent a letter to his second brother, mentioning to him the strategy of letting the yamen in various places buy grain to put all the grain harvested in the summer into the official warehouse. This idea is ingenious, Chai Yanyi and the strategists after several discussions decided to offer advice to Emperor Jianlong, Emperor Jianlong and the cabinet discussed overnight, the next morning the court issued a holy decree, so that the 26 states of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the main grain production of the Great Zhou, after the summer harvest to leave enough for the peasants to provide for themselves, all paid into the official warehouse.

The imperial court was semi-forced to buy grain, and the price of grain was a little lower than the current market price but a little higher than the price of grain in the autumn of last year.

King Yi, who offered advice, was praised by Emperor Jianlong, and was still left in the palace to dine with him at the same table and discuss state affairs.

After Yan Sheng entered Beijing, Chai Yanyi was grateful to the third brother who gave him the idea, "The third brother's subordinates are really able to come out of the crowd, and they can think of such a clever plan!" ”

Yan Sheng shook his head slightly, "Second brother doesn't believe it, I came up with this plan myself." ”

This idea was actually muttered in a low voice when Xiao Nuan came to see the Di Bao last time, and was heard by Yan Sheng, he thought about it for a long time and discussed it with the strategist and felt that it was feasible, so he sent a secret letter to the second brother.

Xiao Nuan is a capable person, but he can't come out, so he has to hide it well!

Chai Yanyi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "The third brother has such a talent in warp and weft, and the foolish brother is really ashamed!" ”

"This is just a matter of urgency, although this policy has solved the urgent need, but the already empty treasury has made it worse, and when my father comes back, I am afraid that he will anger the second brother."

Chai Yanyi smiled slightly, "I'm not afraid of my father's reproach, but I'm not puzzled by this situation, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the court to be stable, and the third brother has a clever plan?" ”

Yan Sheng shook his head slightly, he had a few ideas in his head, but the second brother he could think of should be able to think of it, and it was not a good idea.

What would you do if it was a little warm?

Yan Sheng supported his cheek with one hand, gently turning the luminous cup and chess pieces. This time, I took my father's command and returned to Beijing happily, in fact, to avoid the little girl's counterattack.

Because in the head of the little girl who has not opened her love, her mother and sister, and even the big yellow dog at home are more important than him, and when she returns to the village to ponder for a while, she will definitely turn around and find herself to break the benefits and losses, and then finally tell him: It is not cost-effective for them to be husband and wife, it is better to be friends.

Yan Sheng sighed slightly.

The girl was afraid that she hadn't slept all night and thought of a series of ways to talk to him. He is not afraid of him, but if she suddenly cries like a child's temper like Xiaocao, Yan Sheng is really afraid that she will not be able to bear it......

She knew that she would be speechless and relaxed when she returned to Beijing, and then she devoted herself to her cloth business. This love will precipitate in her heart, and then turn into thoughts, and after a while, she will pull it out, but she can't pull it out.

I didn't expect that one day I would fight wits and courage with a little girl, Yan Sheng curled the corners of his mouth, full of expectations for the days ahead.

Chai Yanyi put the chess pieces that had been messed up by the third brother one by one before he smiled and said, "If the third brother's appearance is seen by the father and grandmother, it should be relieved, which girl actually got into your eyes?"

Yan Sheng looked at the horizontal and vertical chess pieces, and said softly, "The new member of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Zumo, the second brother will help me mention one or two." ”

Chai Yan Yifeng's eyes were provoked, and he laughed softly, "That girl is not as high as your chest, and you have played this abacus a little early." ”

"It's already chest-topping." Yan Sheng's voice was pleasant.

Chai Yanyi picked up a white seed and put it between the sunspots, "If the third brother wants to accept her as a side concubine instead of a concubine, I'm afraid it will take some effort." ”

"It's not a side concubine, it's a concubine." Yan Sheng also picked up a white seed and put it in it, "That's why I want the second brother to help." ”

Chai Yanyi was stunned and then happy. The third brother's mother clan is weak, he thought that the third brother would not marry for a long time, but in order to choose a wife with sufficient weight to add strength to him, but he didn't expect him to choose the daughter of the Bai Ding Chen family.

In other words, the third brother really has no intention of taking the throne!

What could make him happier than having one less rival and one more arm in a bloody battle for the throne! Chai Yanyi smiled, and then asked again, pointing to another white seed and asking, "This son?" ”

"The younger brother has chosen, and then tell the second brother."

Chai Yanyi joked, "If you marry the daughter of the Chen family as a concubine, Yuyuan will become your mother-in-law, won't this generation be messed up?" ”

Yan Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "She's not qualified enough." ”

She's not qualified, which one is enough?

Chai Yansheng suddenly became a little interested in the Chen family, "Your father-in-law looks transparent, and it shouldn't be difficult to promote, but he has just joined the Ministry of Rites, so he has to have a reason." At the end of next month, the envoy of the Southern Zhao Kingdom entered Beijing, and he received this reception errand. ”

Nanzhao and the Great Zhou Dynasty were on good terms, and the envoys of Nanzhao entered Beijing to congratulate the saint's birthday, and receiving such envoys was a good errand to show their faces. Yan Sheng nodded slightly, this errand is indeed very suitable for a literati like Chen Zumo, who looks handsome but can condescend to meet in his bones. Because they behave and talk extraordinarily, showing the majesty of the Celestial Empire and at the same time knowing how to be sophisticated, they make the envoys feel at home.

But things are always difficult to get things as expected, and they arranged a ladder to heaven for Chen Zumo, but they didn't expect him to fall down before he had time to climb.

In the Chen Mansion in Jixian County, the old man Chen, who leaned on the soft collapse in front of the study window and let the maid hang his legs to read, was eating the cherries in the hands of another maid, and Pi's old face suddenly appeared outside the study window!

"You two shameless little hooves, see if the old lady doesn't kill you!"

Just this roar of the Hedong lion frightened the two little maids, and shocked Old Man Chen threw a cherry into his throat and got stuck!

The old man Chen, who was stared at by the card, watched Pi Shi carry a stick into the study undecensively and chased the two maids while scolding, and watched her knock down the bookshelf and scatter the inkstone! The speechless old man Chen was so angry that he grabbed the plate full of cherries next to him and threw it at the old shrew, but it was so coincidental that he stepped on the cherry pit and fell.

After Pi Shi beat the two little hooves into soup chickens, he turned around with satisfaction, only to find that the old man who had moved his heart had already had a crooked mouth and eyes and was unconscious.

Pi Shi hurriedly ordered someone to carry Old Man Chen to the bed and invite Lang Zhong, but after Lang Zhong diagnosed the pulse, he said that Old Man Chen was qi deficiency and blood stasis, and the medicine stone was spiritless.

Li Shi was dumbfounded, why did he suddenly not fall well?

Her son is not at home, what should she do if the old man is like this?

"Son, Zumo, yes, Zumo!" Pi stood up, the old man was sick, he should send a letter to his son immediately, why was she confused!
