In mid-February, the heavy snow that had been drifting for four months finally stopped.

After the last crop was harvested at the beginning of October, until the end of February, the people of Xuancang were unable to farm due to the cold, and the entire Xuancang relied on the silver tickets of the Yan family to survive a winter by constantly buying grain in Diheng. Although Yan Che has gone to Diheng to take care of the Yan family's business in Diheng, and the Yan family continues to fill the Xuancang treasury with the business gains, there is a trend of making ends meet on the books.

In the first year of Zhengqian, the Yan family helped Xuancang survive a winter. In the second year, if the problem of farming and food is not solved, I am afraid that after the winter again, the Yan family will not be able to bear it.

If you want to start farming after the weather warms up, one of the most serious problems encountered is that the Yeyou garrison has not yet evacuated, and the places they dominate are all places where Xuancang has always had fertile land and a large population.

Although I have ascended the throne and restored the country, there are no night ghost soldiers in the imperial city, but there are still night ghost soldiers stationed in the towns outside the imperial city, and there is no thunder in the past winter to withdraw these garrisons, I think he will not take the initiative to evacuate, I have to find a way to expel the night ghost soldiers outside the imperial city for another hundred miles on the premise of not offending the night on the surface, so as to ensure that the people of Xuancang have land to plant.

However, before I could come up with a solution, the baby in my belly couldn't wait.

February 17 was Xuanhu's birthday, before dawn I felt abdominal pain, Yanyu immediately found the doctor and the midwife, I was in pain for two days and nights, and finally heard the sound of two children crying one after another. The midwife held the two children to me, a man and a woman, crumpled and ugly.

I slept on and off for another three days, and when I woke up again, Yan Yu was sitting next to me holding my hand and fell asleep with my head hanging down.

I was so thirsty that I tried to get up but woke up Yan Yu, and he hurriedly helped me sit on the pillow and poured me warm water to drink.

"Where's the kid?" I asked weakly.

Yan Yu said: "In the side hall, the nurse and the maidservant are taking care of it, so I will go and bring the child to you to see." ”

After saying that, he went out, and after a while, he came back with two swaddling clothes in his arms and put them beside me, three days without seeing, the child has changed from a wrinkled appearance to snow white and pink, the two children are like carved out of a mold, and the appearance that the eyes are not fully open makes me feel very similar to Lei Jue, who squints at people when he is angry.

"This is Xiaoying, right? She is an older sister, and she was born first. I stroked Xiao Ying's face lightly, and then turned my hand to touch Xiao Ze, "He is a younger brother, Xiao Ze, although he was born later, he is fatter than his sister." ”

"Do you really want them to call Xuan Xiaoying and Xuan Xiaoze?"

"Ha" I smiled tiredly, "Xuan Xiaoying, Xuan Xiaoze, although it sounds a little casual, it is a name that I have chosen with a lot of thought. ”

Yan Yu smiled and said softly, "If you think it's good, it's good." ”

I looked at the children for a while, and felt tired again, so Yanyu sent the children to the side hall.

Yan Yu was also very tired, and when he came back, he lay down beside me, and told me that I had some difficulties in childbirth, and that he could not come in, so he could only stand outside the dormitory and do something anxious, and then he took me into his arms, and after a while he fell asleep.

For a whole month, they didn't bother me.

I asked Yan Yu what was going on in the previous dynasty, and Yan Yu always said that it was okay, telling me not to worry about it, and to talk about everything after the confinement period.

Hey, this woman really still has some physical disadvantages as an emperor, and if she doesn't deal with government affairs for a month, if something goes wrong, won't I become a sinner of Xuancang.

Finally, I finally finished my confinement, and then went to the morning court, and none of the ministers had a book to report, so angry that I threw down the paperweight on the table, "Are you helping me or harming me?" I'm just going to have a baby, are you going to let me die? ”

The people below hurriedly knelt down and shouted to your majesty to stop his anger.

Twilight Changyan glanced at Yan Yu before stepping forward to report to me about the affairs he had temporarily handled this month.

First, Yuan Qi and his party have already entered the night shadow, and according to the method I taught, they took down the shops in a county on the border of the night shadow at almost no cost.

This Yuan Qi used to be the shopkeeper of the Diheng Royal Bank, I called him to talk to him, and found that this person has a strong economic mind, but he is very persistent in being an official, and wants to come to Xuancang to be an official and a big official. I didn't have any money in my hand, but I wanted a lot of official positions, so I asked him to ask him to take only a small amount of money to Yeyouxian to buy all the shops in the counties near the border of Shangping Mountain. As long as he completes the acquisition and continues to make profits for a year, I will send someone to take him over and transfer him back to the Zhengqian Imperial City to become an official in the court, and the size of the official position depends on his business results.

At first, Yuan Qi thought that this was impossible, but when I told him an example of the principle of leveraged buyouts, he immediately drew inferences and introduced more practices, and then he set off with some people and a small amount of gold and silver.

The Yan family's business is more concentrated in Di Heng, how can I only focus on the Yan family and treat the good night as nothing? For Xuan Cang, the people of Diheng have thousands of dollars, and the people of Yeyou are also wealthy, and I have to earn money on both sides. Yuan Qi is from Diheng, he went to Yeyou just to avoid people's eyes and ears, Yeyou should not be so quick to find out that Yuan Qi is actually Xuancang, it's me.

"Okay, national teacher, you personally write a letter to praise him, and within three months, Yuan Qi should send the money he earned to Xuancang."

After Twilight Changyan hurriedly agreed, he reported the second thing.

The spring ploughing of the people of Xuancang was blocked, and Qiao Yun had negotiated with the generals of the Yeyou garrison many times, but the other party refused to leave on the grounds that he had not received the order of the Yeyou Emperor.

Hey, that's what I was thinking about before I had a baby, and I haven't figured out a solution yet. I let Twilight Smoke continue to report.

Twilight Changyan's expression became strange, "There is one more thing, Emperor Hengchen sent twelve beauties,"

"Beauty? What is it used for? "Could it be that I saw that there are a lot of bachelors in my Xuancang minister, and sent them to solve this problem?

"These twelve beauties are waiting for Your Highness, have you summoned them?"

I said, "Since it was sent by my brother, I naturally want to see them, so let these beauties in." ”

Then I was stunned to see twelve large living men walk in one after another, and they stopped behind Twilight Changyan, kneeling neatly on one knee and clasping their fists at me.

I asked Twilight Smoke, "This is what you call a beauty?" Male? ”

Twilight Changyan smiled bitterly and bowed his head to me, "Yes, these twelve are the beauties that Prince Chen gave to His Majesty, Lord Chen said, please Your Majesty must smile." ”

I'm just confused, what does Haoyuan mean?

Let's look at these twelve people one by one, innocent and cute, feminine and charming, tall and strong, smiling like a flower, resolute and upright, arrogant and disdainful, there is everything, and what they have in common is explosive appearance.

I still didn't understand what Haoyuan was going to do, so I asked these people, "Does my brother have an explanation for you to do?" ”

The innocent and lovely little Zhengtai in this group stood up and said, "We are carefully selected by the prince to serve His Majesty and Prince Feng!" ”
