Originally, Chu's mother wrote a letter and thought of leaving Hanjiang to have lunch together, since Chu Lixue sent him here, she was trying to find a way to make Hanjiang and her mother closer, but after all, the two have not lived together, and they will inevitably be emotionally unfamiliar.

With regret, Chu Mu looked at the back of Hanjiang as it was getting farther away, and sighed helplessly. When he turned around and closed the door, he saw Feng Mu looking at him.

"Old sister, you have to be considerate of this child Hanjiang, he didn't grow up by your side, it's inevitable that he will be alienated from you, after a long time, this child will be close to you." Feng Mu smiled and comforted.

"I understand this, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, he wouldn't have lost it for so long, it's just that every time I see him and Lixue so good, I really envy it."

"They usually spend a lot of time together, and Lixue's girl's temperament is indeed very likable, I remember that Lixue was still very quiet when she was a child, but I didn't expect to be so lively when she grew up." Feng Mu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Chu's mother's smile stayed on her face, but she was beating a drum in her heart, but she didn't expect that even Feng's mother, who usually couldn't see her a few times, felt the difference in Lixue, but this secret could only be known by herself, otherwise it would bring too much trouble to Chu Lixue.

"Yes, Lixue is not easy, when she replaced Lishuang to marry today's Shengshang, and the pressure from the Bai family, maybe it was because of these that her personality has changed." Chu Mu said lightly.

Feng Mu looked at Chu Mu and nodded gently, indeed, if it wasn't for Li Xue's willingness to marry in the first place, I don't know what the situation is now. "Well, it's true that now as long as we see the good life of our children, then we don't have any wishes."

When Han Jiang returned to Fengluan Palace, Chu Lixue and Nangong Yihan were preparing to eat, seeing Han Jiang coming back at this time, Chu Lixue couldn't help frowning slightly, she deliberately asked Han Jiang to send a letter to Chu's mother at this time, just to give them more opportunities to get along, but she didn't expect this stinky boy to come back.

"Hanjiang, have you eaten it?" Nangong Yihan said lightly.

"Well......, not yet. I have some other things here, Your Majesty, you can use it first, I'm not in a hurry. After finishing speaking, Han Jiang wanted to hurry back to his room, but where would Chu Lixue let him escape so easily.

"What could be more important than eating? Why don't you come and sit down and eat. Chu Lixue said lightly.

Hearing this, Han Jiang swallowed his saliva, thought for a moment and came to Chu Lixue's face, "I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I hurried back." The things I have done have been done, and I have to re-equip you with a tocolytic, didn't you say that it was too bitter before? After speaking, Han Jiang turned and left.

The sister and brother were talking and playing dumb riddles, Nangong Yihan could naturally see it, but since Chu Lixue hadn't thought about telling him yet, it was best for him not to ask first, so as not to hurt the harmony.

"Ning Xiang, go to the small kitchen to cook some of Hanjiang's favorite dishes, and send him to the house in a while, even if you are busy, you can't be hungry, otherwise your mother should be in a hurry." Nangong Yihan said with a smile.

Nangong Yihan knew very well that in Chu Lixue's heart, he was still a little sorry for this younger brother, a person who had been drifting away since he was a child, and he was originally a casual character, but he bound himself up for the sake of his family.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the tribute from Lingnan has just arrived, and the minions have already selected some of the best, so they will be brought to Niangniang." Zhang Qing said with a smile.

When she raised her eyes, Chu Lixue actually saw a plate of good lychees, the lychees were big and full of moisture, and the variety should be a concubine smile, and a concubine laughed when she rode the red dust, and no one knew that it was a lychee. Since ancient times, this concubine has been a royal tribute, and the official who transports the tribute has to use ice cubes to ice the lychees to keep them fresh, and they have to keep changing the carriage on the way, just to be able to transport the lychees into the palace as soon as possible, but it takes a lot of manpower and material resources on this back and forth journey.

Although the whole world belongs to the emperor, it is also appropriate to eat some tribute, but this kind of tribute does make Chu Lixue a little uneasy to eat. What's more, although the treasury of Beichen is becoming more and more abundant today, it must also be prepared in case of emergency.

"Yihan, this lychee is really a very good thing, but this way to transport it, it must have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, this is soon the time to pay tribute from all over the country, if it is a more remote place, it will require more manpower and material resources. So...... I want to ......"

"You want to reduce the tribute from all over the world, do you? That's right, there are not many people in the palace now, Beichen has suffered a lot of heavy injuries before, and he should recover well, and sure enough, there are good wives and few husbands in the family. Nangong Yihan said with a smile.

Nangong Yihan was actually already thinking about how to reduce the tribute in which places, but he hadn't thought about it all the time, because he was worried that Chu Lixue was pregnant, and all kinds of fruits must be indispensable, especially in summer, there was no appetite, and there was nothing to eat, so there was really no need to eat.

What he didn't expect was that Chu Lixue could also think of this, "Zhang Qing, what are the tributes from all over the country this year, report to me in a while." ”

"Your Majesty, did the slave do something wrong just now? Could it be that the lychee lady is uncomfortable after eating it? Zhang Qing said anxiously.

"No, it's because the queen understands the suffering of those people and doesn't want to increase their burden." Nangong Yihan said with a light smile.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang's benevolence and benevolence are the blessings of the emperor, and they are the blessings of our Beichen." Zhang Qing said with a smile.

"Well, now as long as I wait for my mother to give birth to a child safely, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, I will be content."

"Your Majesty, it will be, the mother is smart and virtuous, and she knows how to do business, look at our treasury, there is a lot of silver, which is earned by the queen." Zhang Qing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Nangong Yihan bowed slightly, picked up the recital on the case and read it carefully, and when he saw Qianxi's recital, he angrily threw it on the ground.

Such a big thing happened in Qianxi, the prefect dared to hide it, if it wasn't for the general judgment to try his best to hand over this recital, he, the emperor, would not know how long he would be deceived.

It seems that the blood of various positions in the court really needs to be replaced, and those who are capable and courageous will be replaced, but it is really not easy for these courtiers to find a replacement for a while if they want to change them.

"Zhang Qing, go to King Chuanning, Jiang Guogong, and King Dingnan to enter the palace, I have important matters to discuss with them." Nangong Yihan frowned.

"Yes, the minion will pass it on himself." After finishing speaking, Zhang Qing put a cup of hot tea on Nangong Yihan's table, and did not forget to tell the little eunuch next to him to replace Nangong Yihan with seventy percent hot tea.

Zhang Qing worked harder than before, he wanted to atone for what he had done wrong before, rode a fast horse, ran back and forth with several mansions, and finally went to Jiang Guogong's mansion, and followed Jiang Guogong into the palace by the way.

Jiang Guogong, King Ning and others were just about to salute when they saw Nangong Yihan, but Nangong Yihan exempted a few people from etiquette, and told them everything about their thoughts and Qianxi, hoping to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible.

However, the matter in Qianxi is not something that can be quelled by any of them leading troops to suppress it, and those who rise up are all some unarmed ordinary people, if they send troops to suppress it, I am afraid that there is really no way to win back the hearts of the people.

But the situation there cannot be solved by the emperor allocating money from the state treasury, and it is indeed a big problem to completely solve the problem there.

"Your Majesty, otherwise, we will still transport grain or something to Qianxi, as long as the people there have food to eat, there should be no trouble." Jiang Guogong said lightly.

Qianxi is located in the middle of nowhere, the people who originally lived there were not lazy people, but the land there did not allow them to live at all, and the rice planted in the ground was difficult to survive at all, it was okay before, but the yield was low, at least it could ensure the self-sufficient life of the people there, but in recent years, the yield of rice has become less and less, and there have been people making trouble several times, and finally the imperial court has allocated money to them to let them get through the difficulties, so that they have also developed their bad habits, as long as they are confiscated, they will make trouble, In this way, the court will give them money and food, and also develop their bad habit of laziness and hard work.

If the bad habits are not changed, it will naturally not work, but no one can completely solve the problem of grain production there. When Chu Lixue heard Wanyue and the others discuss, she knew that there was such a place in Beichen.

After thinking about it, Chu Lixue decided to personally inspect the water quality of the site, the grain yield is low, and the geology is the problem of water source, since there used to be a place where the people could be self-sufficient, then it should be better, why is it getting more and more barren? Is it there that is not suitable for growing rice? Or is it the peasants who like to work hard?

But Chu Lixue was pregnant, how could Nangong Yihan agree to let her go to such a remote place? In the end, it could only be Chu Lixue who was protected by King Ning's three sons and King Dingnan, and let Chu Lixue live in a nearby inn, and all the on-site investigation was handed over to King Ning's three sons to do it personally.

After arriving in Qianxi, Chu Lixue ordered Nangong Yue and Nangong Kai to collect samples of the soil and water sources used by those farmers to grow rice. And let Han Jiang add special medicinal powder to those samples and observe quietly.

In the early morning of the next day, after Chu Lixue got up, she found out that she had indeed found the root of the problem, and she didn't know how the previous officials did things, so she didn't find out about it early.

"Mother, how did the color of the water become like this?" Nangong Kai was surprised.
