Zhou Biyao stepped forward to support Zhao, while Wang Qiao made a gesture and asked Xiuqin in surprise: "You have been following your mother well, why did you suddenly remember to stay?" Let's go back together, you still have relatives by your side, if you stay here and are alone, what will you do if you have anything to do in the future? The luggage is all packed, what are you messing around? Hurry up and get in the car, don't you see so many people waiting? ”

When Xiuqin forced Wang Qiao to leave the Qi family by the Zhao family, she began to do things for Jiang Yifan, passing news back and forth through an inconspicuous mother-in-law beside Ye Xinyan.

Wang Qiao and Zhou Biyao knew about her. At this time, Xiuqin saw Wang Qiao and Zhou Biyao's expressions, and knew that Wang Qiao felt sorry for his mother, and was afraid that the Zhao family would be hit harder, so she pretended not to know about it.

It turns out that her cousin, who is generous, also has times when he can act.

Xiuqin and Wang Qiao didn't mean to deceive the Zhao family, but they had no choice but to choose this time to tell the Zhao family about it. It's really the Zhao clan's combat power that is too strong, and it has to be treated with caution.

According to Zhao's character, if he had known that Xiuqin was leaving, he must ask things clearly. Even if she asks clearly, if she doesn't want Xiuqin to stay, I'm afraid that there will still be no shortage of means, maybe Xiuqin really won't be able to stay.

Xiuqin did not respond to Wang Qiao's words, but kowtowed to Zhao again: "Xiuqin is sorry for my aunt, aunt will take care in the future." My cousin and sister-in-law are all filial and kind-hearted people, as long as my aunt can be an old man who is not idle and enjoys the filial piety of her children and grandchildren with peace of mind, my aunt can live the life of an enviable rich old lady. With that, Xiuqin is leaving. ”

Xiuqin kowtowed three times to Zhao, didn't bring anything, stood up, walked straight through everyone, and left.

Zhou Biyao supported Zhao and persuaded repeatedly: "Mother, don't be angry." Let's go, since Xiuqin has already had the intention of leaving, even if she leaves someone behind, her heart will not be here. Don't be strong, let's get in the car. ”

Zhao glared at Xiuqin as she walked through the crowd, her back disappeared, and her face was already pale with anger. Hearing Zhou Biyao's persuasion, she shook off her hand heavily, and her angry eyes swept back and forth on the faces of her son and daughter-in-law.

However, apart from the worry and helplessness on their faces, they found no other clues.

Zhao's anger didn't know where to vent, and under the gaze of everyone, his eyes gradually turned red. But he still held on, staring at Wang Qiao.

thought that if she raised her son and her son was promising, she would be able to enjoy it. However, her son has grown up and his heart has grown. has a future, and I can't look down on her as a mother, and I have the ability to accuse her.

Among the neighbors who saw them off, there was an aunt who couldn't see it, took a few steps forward, pulled Zhao's family, and persuaded: "Sister-in-law of the Wang family, you can't be angry when you see that you are about to go a long way." Xiuqin's child, we all see it in our eyes, serving my sister-in-law has always been dedicated, although I didn't go back with my sister-in-law, but I listened to the words that the child just said, but it was good.

Our neighborhood has been around for more than a year, and Ah Qiao and Ah Qiao's daughter-in-law are good. My sister-in-law has such a lovely son and daughter-in-law, wouldn't it be good to be an old lady who doesn't worry about everything. This is a good day that we can't look forward to, sister-in-law of the Wang family, but I want to be blessed. ”

After this aunt finished speaking, there were several elderly aunts and uncles next to her, and they all echoed it.

Wang Qiao and Zhou Biyao thanked several people and helped Zhao into the carriage. Xiao Cui glanced in the direction where Xiuqin left with some envy, and hurriedly followed.

As the carriage started, Zhao was in the carriage, and the feeling of weakness that had just recovered from a serious illness hit again.

Was she really wrong? A few days ago, her son, who has always been sensible and filial, accused her with such words. Today, although Xiuqin didn't say it so ugly, she also thought that she was in charge of too many things.

Those neighbors who don't have much friendship actually say the same thing. Could it be that she is the kind of person who does not know how to cherish blessings? Listening to the meaning of those people in the neighborhood, the son and daughter-in-law, including Xiuqin, are all good, so they just have to say that she is not good, right?

Was she really wrong?

…………

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is still not a drop of rain in Wonju and the surrounding areas. After the emperor discussed with several cabinet elders, he had no other hope, and sent people to various parts of Wonju to check the storage situation of the granaries in various places, and make appropriate relief if necessary

The capital side also began to raise available goods and prepare to transport them to Wonju. We are trying to control the situation in advance when there is no hunger in the affected areas.

The imperial court's response was already fast, and even so, rumors spread in the Wonju area, claiming that the drought that had been in place for half a year would not have made the disaster so serious. The reason for this is that the emperor was stubborn and built useless projects year after year, resulting in extremely heavy taxes, and stripped the warehouses of the people in various parts of Yuanzhou, so that he had no power to resist disasters.

The emperor, although not so arrogant, thinks that he is a rare virtuous king, but he is much stronger than the previous generations of monarchs.

In the decades that the Great Xia Dynasty has been in power, it has already had a tendency to flourish. The military generals guarded the border and deterred the enemy outside the territory, and there were few battles. And the national strength, except for the fact that the treasury has been increasingly empty by the prince in the past ten years, the rest are not bad, and they can be called the well-being of the people.

In several states and counties under his rule, such slanderous words against the king came out, which made the emperor extremely angry. The emperor didn't even think to hide these rumors, in fact, even if he wanted to cover them up, he might not be able to hide them.

He passed the four elders, the crown prince, King Yu, as well as the head of the household and the two servants, to the Qinzheng Palace.

The emperor was furious, and directly smashed the secret fold that was reluctantly presented on Shiqing's head: "Take a good look at what is written here." You sort out the taxes in the Yuanzhou area in the past few years, and then compare them with the tax situation 20 years ago. Bring me to the court and tell me what is going on with this harsh government and taxation? I want to see how I treat my subjects badly! ”

Yu Shiqing didn't dare to hide at all, and honestly suffered this blow. Hurriedly straightened his hat, and hurriedly held the secret fold in his hand, and did not dare to look at it, he kept kowtowing, and said in his mouth: "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry." ”

Since his family knows his own affairs, Yu Shiqing naturally knows that the imperial court has been building tracks for three consecutive years.

In the first year, iron tracks were used, although the cost was large, but most of the iron materials were accumulated by the imperial court over the years. Even if King Fu took this opportunity to mine and smelt in large quantities, it would not be the main expense.

Last year's wooden track construction cost much less. The number of people used in the construction of the track has also been greatly reduced. Not only do they not have to provide for the food and lodging expenses of these people, but these people can return to their hometowns to engage in farming and make their own livelihoods, and they do not delay the livelihood of the people.

This year is the same, the stewards for the construction and laying of wooden tracks are mainly from the Yuwang Mansion. Again, the cost is not very high.
