Ignoring Princess Suizhu's crying, the empress led Wang Xiaolai all the way to the imperial study, and sent Narcissus to call the imperial doctor on duty, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Wang Xiaolai, she was slightly relieved.

In this way, after returning from Chengqian Palace, the empress continued to approve her excerpts in front of the Longshu case, and Wang Xiaolai shrank in the corner of the Longshu case, holding her legs, and looked at the empress pitifully.

"You guy, you always see what I do like this, and it's not that I poisoned you."

After a long time, the empress couldn't help it and asked.

Wang Xiaolai wiped his mouth: "No, no." ”

Seeing this, the empress beckoned, and the narcissus at the bottom walked up with a plate of pastries.

"Eat." Empress Dao.

Seeing Wang Xiaolai's undaring look, the empress was amused: "Don't worry, I don't have the next poinsettia here." ”

Hearing the empress's words, Wang Xiaolai's face showed joy, and he reached out to grab it.

Syllable.

Narcissus slapped the back of Wang Xiaolai's hand: "This is Your Majesty's grace, don't you understand etiquette at all?" ”

"It's okay, just eat." The empress said happily.

Wang Xiaolai looked back at the narcissus, which seemed to mean that look, His Majesty has spoken.

Narcissus was speechless and had to push the pastry out.

But Wang Xiaolai was hungry, and the food in the barracks was not good, so he was easy to open a meat meal, and he was called away after only two bites, saying that he was eating a banquet, and he was played by Princess Suizhu, saying that he was a poinsettia of strange poison in southern Xinjiang, heh, the banquet was not eaten well, and he vomited out the chicken leg he ate earlier, and in the middle of the night, he was hungry.

So much so, when Wang Xiaolai was eating pastries, his eating appearance was a bit exaggerated.

Originally, the empress was still reviewing the folds, but in the end, she put down the pen and closed the folds, so she hugged her shoulders and watched Wang Xiaolai eat.

Wang Xiaolai ate at the end of the dragon book case, and the empress looked at it with relish behind the dragon book case.

After a while, Wang Xiaolai raised his head and faced the empress, uh, what's wrong, choked.

He picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to the empress, and while burping, he said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you, you also have a piece." ”

The Empress smiled and waved her hand, and handed over a teacup, the one she used herself.

Narcissus's eyes widened instantly.

But Wang Xiaolai, this kid didn't know, so he took it and poured it into his mouth.

If it weren't for the presence of the empress, I'm afraid that Narcissus would have pulled Wang Xiaolai over and pressed him to the ground and hammered him.

After a cup of tea, Wang Xiaolai recovered a little bit of energy, rubbed his belly and shouted cool, the plate of pastries was wiped out by him alone, half leaning on the side of the dragon book, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider.

If you bring him a toothpick and a cigarette, this kid will be even more happy.

"Your Majesty, what are you busy with all day?"

Seeing that the empress began to write hard again, Wang Xiaolai, who was full of wine and food, couldn't help but ask, climbed onto the dragon book case, and stared at it.

It was only three or five fingers away from the empress's hanging forehead.

The narcissus next to him was about to rush up to teach Wang Xiaolai a lesson, but the empress did not speak, and the narcissus did not dare to make a transgressive move.

The empress said with a smile while looking at the folds: "In addition to the refugees around Daxing City, there are not a few refugees in the rest of the provinces, of course I have to deal with them one by one, and it is almost winter, it is time to check this year's harvest." ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "I thought what was the matter, Your Majesty, if you want me to say, you are the Son of Heaven, that is, the CEO of Sui Yang, this kind of thing, just leave it to the officials below to do it, how can you be the boss yourself, otherwise what is the use of asking these courtiers." ”

In a word, it reached the heart of the empress.

At that time, I saw the empress sigh.

"What's wrong?"

"This kind of major event related to the future of the country, I still feel that it is better for me to come." The empress said so, but the real reason was that the courtiers below, especially the literati who controlled the Zhongshu Province, didn't take the empress in their eyes at all, and let these arrogant guys bend their waists to a woman, and they were far from having such awareness. For example, if you don't bother to do a trivial thing, what can the empress do.

And now is different from the past, now is the peaceful world, although there is military power in hand, the empress does not dare to do anything excessive against them.

You must know that before these officials entered the office, they were all great sages in various provinces, and they attacked them without a good reason, even if it would cause disgust among the scholars of the world, the empress could not afford this consequence.

If she is a man, in the court, will this kind of thing happen?

Every time she thought of this, the empress couldn't help but have a headache.

"Little Laizi." The Empress spoke.

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "Call me?" ”

"Hmm." At the same time, the empress handed over a batch of excerpts about refugees in Wang Xiaolai's hands: "I see that you have some skills in dealing with refugees, you can see how this excerpt is for me." ”

Before Wang Xiaolai could answer, Narcissus didn't agree first, knelt in front of the dragon book case and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, how can you let a Yu Linlang exercise the responsibility of the Son of Heaven?" ”

Wang Xiaolai, who didn't know what the empress meant, was stunned when he heard it.

On the contrary, it was the empress, but she waved her hand with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I deal with so many government affairs every day, and I'm really busy, but you don't understand these things, Uncle Huang, he's also old, and he can't be a staff member every day." Little Laizi, come, take a look. ”

Seeing that Wang Xiaolai didn't dare to stretch out her hand, the empress frowned and drank: "Take it." ”

Wang Xiaolai immediately caught the recital.

The Empress laughed at this.

opened the fold and looked at it, the stiff text like a book from heaven, Wang Xiaolai looked at one head and two big.

The empress over there looked at three excerpts in a quarter of an hour, and Wang Xiaolai here was still holding the excerpts in a daze.

"What's the matter, little Laizi, why don't you look at it, do you want to be disrespectful? Or do you want to go back and stay with Suizhu! "Looking at Wang Xiaolai's inaction, the empress was a little annoyed, okay, even if the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are separated from me, you kid will dare to be disobedient, and I will promote you in vain.

Wang Xiaolai grabbed his scalp with an embarrassed face; "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't respect the will, but we really can't understand the words on the fold."

Wang Xiaolai's words made the empress stunned for a moment, and then laughed, and at that moment, the empress raised her forehead and smiled: "How did I forget this, narcissus." ”

Narcissus clenched his fists.

"Go, read it to him, let him read it."

Narcissus was stunned, and looked up at the empress, as if she was a little suspicious of her ears.

"Go." The Empress commanded.

"Yes, yes."

Although he was reluctant, but the empress's will, Narcissus still did not dare to disobey, and at that moment, he came to Wang Xiaolai's side and stretched out his hand at Wang Xiaolai.

"What for?"

"Excerpt! Bring! ”

"Uh-oh."

Here, Narcissus took the fold and was sitting under Wang Xiaolai, reading it one by one.

The content of the excerpt is very simple, that is, there are too many refugees in Yuzhou, the local people are too miserable, and it is a little insufficient to take out all the treasury money to resettle the refugees, so I wrote to ask whether the refugees can be expelled back to their hometowns.

Wang Xiaolai sat cross-legged, still leaning on the dragon bookcase, plucking his ears, comfortable and comfortable.

After reading the excerpt together, Narcissus picked up the pen and glared at Wang Xiaolai, which seemed to mean to see what the hell your kid has ideas.

Wang Xiaolai flicked the earwax on the nail of his little thumb and blew two breaths: "What is the population of Yuzhou, how is the land occupied, and how is the annual income." ”

Wang Xiaolai asked three questions in a row.

"In the imperial territory, Yuzhou is the smallest, second only to Qingyang in population, and accounts for one-eighth of the empire's tax revenue." Narcissus replied.

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "That's simple." ”

The empress was interested, put down her fold and asked, "Do you want to develop wasteland to resettle refugees like Daxing City?" ”

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand: "No, the situation in the two places is different, naturally it can't be treated in the same way, Yuzhou is sparsely populated, and it is a province with a large annual harvest, which proves that Yuzhou has not much wasteland development for refugees, and what is called a refugee, is to flee, the six southern provinces, can not always be waterlogged, and so on, most of these refugees, most of them still want to return to their hometowns, and it will be winter soon, it is the time for the land to plough, and it is the time to approve Yuzhou officials to recruit local refugees to help with farming, and give some silver and grain. The refugees they helped all lived in the homes of the owners of the fields they helped, which dealt with the difficulties of the refugees having nowhere to live and the difficulties of ploughing the local land, killing two birds with one stone. ”

When the empress heard this, she smiled and nodded, and said to Narcissus: "Batch." ”

The empress spoke, but Narcissus did not dare to disobey.

Here, the empress took out all the excerpts about refugees and patted them; "Tonight, Xiao Laizi is still bothering you to deal with all this."

Wang Xiao looked at Narcissus.

The corners of Narcissus's mouth twitched, and she reached out to pick up a fold, and when she was about to read it, Wang Xiaolai called out to her.

"What's wrong?" Narcissus was puzzled.

Wang Xiaolai was a little embarrassed and said: "That, when you read, don't be so blunt, have feelings, I'm about to make you fall asleep." ”

Narcissus: "···"

In the imperial study, the empress's comfortable laughter...
