Chu Yechen was relieved to hear that the Yang family's parents had responded in person, and this constraint was lifted.

The Yang family also breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Chengdong looked suspicious, at that time, he drank too much to make this happen, thinking of Chu Yechen's attitude towards his sister, he felt that he was not a drunkard, he cared about people, and played a big game of chess.

Chu Yechen noticed Yang Chengdong's vigilant gaze, almost forgetting that she still had six elder brothers, thinking of this, he couldn't help but rub his temples, he still needs to work hard!

At the end of the family banquet, the table was full of vegetables and swept away.

Old Prince An was full of wine and food, and the matter that Chu Yechen asked for was also solved, and they left the Yang family after a watch outside.

Lu Shi found out that he hadn't seen Mama Su all night, and called her in the yard, worried that something would happen.

Mama Su answered from outside, came to the dining room, and met Old Prince An and Chu Yechen who were leaving.

She didn't pay attention, bumped into the two of them, and as soon as the three of them looked at each other, Mama Su quickly lowered her head, said sorry and hurried into the yard.

In just a moment, Old Prince An was stunned, and he recognized it at first sight.

"Xiao Chen, who was that person just now?"

"It's Mrs. Yang's personal mother, who had a conflict with the Zhang family when she was in Danzhou before, and it was Miss Yang who left her in the Yang family."

Chu Yechen felt that Mama Su was familiar before, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, but now seeing Old Lord An's reaction, he asked, "Does Uncle Wang know each other?" ”

Old Prince An glanced at Chu Yechen, saw that he was puzzled, and only shook his head after a while: "I don't know, this king admits his mistake, let's go." ”

How could Chu Yechen believe this, obviously unwilling to say it, he looked at the old prince who walked away, wrote down the matter, and didn't ask any more.

In the courtyard, Yang Qiaoyue noticed the reaction of the old prince just now, and saw Mama Su running in in with a panicked expression.

"Mama Su, what's wrong?"

Mama Su didn't even notice that Yang Qiaoyue was by her side, and she was startled when she heard the voice: "Big girl, it's not ...... It's nothing. ”

"Really nothing?" Yang Qiaoyue frowned slightly.

Mama Su didn't say anything, just shook her head silently, and then returned to Lu's side.

Yang Qiaoyue looked at it, what is this called okay, Mama Su was not by her mother's side tonight, obviously deliberately avoiding Old Prince An, because Chu Yechen had seen Mama Su and had never talked to her about anything.

Thinking to herself, it seems that Mama Su's affairs in the palace are not simple, and she actually realized that Old Prince An is definitely not an ordinary person.

Yang Qiaoyue came back to her senses, and she couldn't force her to say anything, shook her head, and let go of the matter.

The next day, Yang Qiaoyue took Yang Chen's orchid to Liu's house.

In the past, she mainly learned from Liu Xiaming about the current situation of the granary of the imperial court, and asked the household department to prepare.

When the Liu family heard them coming, the two families moved around diligently to enhance their relationship, and they also wanted to make up for the cracks in their previous relationship as much as possible.

"Yue'er is here too." Old Man Liu was very satisfied with Yang Qiaoyue after the salt reform.

If the Yang family hadn't refused, he really wanted to match his grandson and Yang Qiaoyue, and the two families would be close to each other, but unfortunately the Liu family didn't have this blessing.

Yang Qiaoyue took her two younger sisters to pay New Year's greetings to the Liu family.

A kind smile appeared on Old Man Yang's usually serious face, and he gave them New Year's money, and muttered: "Okay!" ”

"Yue'er, let's go to the study to talk."

Liu Xiaming happened to have a matter of salt reform to ask her for advice, so he asked Mrs. Liu to entertain the Yang family sisters, and they went to the study.

Yang Qiaoyue also came over to find Liu Xiaming, otherwise the Liu family would not be her relatives.

After Liu Xiaming succeeded in changing the salt to the Jingshi Mansion, the place encountered resistance, and asked Yang Qiaoyue if there was any way.

Yang Qiaoyue thought for a while: "The resistance is nothing more than the collusion between the interests of local officials and salt merchants, and then the support of big people in the capital division, it is nothing more than the power of the prince, it is good to find them to solve it, and if they do not cooperate, they can only be invited to the emperor, this is a new national policy, and no one can stop it." ”

Liu Xiaming suddenly realized that this is not the time to worry about offending the prince, and besides, they also have a prince here.

After chatting about the salt reform, Yang Qiaoyue asked Liu Xiaming about the current situation of the grain reserves of the Chu Dynasty, and he happened to be the head of the household.

Liu Xiaming was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Yang Qiaoyue to suddenly ask about this, and he didn't hide it, but only told her not to spread it.

Yang Qiaoyue should go down.

"In the first two years of the Chu Dynasty, there were continuous local natural disasters, and the imperial court provided disaster relief, and the granaries were not abundant."

"How many thousand stones are estimated?"

"The main granary should be eight million stones." Liu Xiaming replied, this was almost a confidential matter of the Chu Dynasty, and he asked cautiously, "What do you know about this?" ”

Of course, Liu Xiaming didn't suspect that Yang Qiaoyue was going to do something, but he just felt that something big was about to happen.

Yang Qiaoyue said a lot to Liu Xiaming about uncertain things, and replied casually: "This reserve grain can't withstand any major war in the Chu Dynasty, in case something happens, the household department will bear the brunt, and you have to find a way to enrich the granary and take precautions in the new year." ”

Liu Xiaming saw Yang Qiaoyue's serious tone, her brows were furrowed, and from her words, it sounded as if there was going to be a big war, but now that Chu Chaohai was leveling, the border was stable, and there was no danger of fighting, it was inappropriate to suddenly collect food, so she didn't talk immediately.

On the side, Old Man Liu saw further, he felt that Yang Qiaoyue should know some inconvenient information, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Ming, do what Yue'er said, don't talk about the war with eight million stones, if you suddenly fail to harvest the famine next year, you will have to starve all over the wilderness, and you don't have any sense of crisis as a household minister?" ”

Liu Xiaming was criticized by the old man, and immediately responded: "Okay, when I am a young child, I will discuss with Lord Shangshu about collecting grain." ”

Yang Qiaoyue listened to what he said, I am afraid that this matter will not progress well, although she has not seen it in the household department, but this pustule that she has not realized is definitely an official hat, and it is estimated that it cannot be relied on.

didn't say more, this is not something that Liu Xiaming can do alone.

Nothing else, Yang Qiaoyue left with her two younger sisters at noon, although the Liu family kept food repeatedly, she excused herself and did not stay.

Old Man Liu looked at the figure walking away and sighed, "It seems that this girl is still very serious about our Liu family." ”

"Well, we did a bit of a good job at the beginning." Liu Xiaming had some helplessness in his eyes.

"Don't talk about that, don't you think you care about what Yang Yatou mentioned just now?" Old Man Liu asked.

"Daddy, expanding the grain harvest for no reason is not something that a child can decide, I will try my best to convince Lord Shangshu."

When Old Man Liu heard this, he knew that there was not much opportunity, and he didn't say more, it was indeed not something that a squire could decide.

The three of them just rushed home for lunch, and Lu was surprised that they hadn't had lunch at Yang's house and then came back, so they didn't ask much when they thought about their girl's temperament.

The Yang family had no guests today, and after lunch in the afternoon, Yang Qiaoyue went to Yuxue Nanzhuang under the pretext of going out.

Yang Qiaoyue only took Guan Qiu out of the city quietly, to the rare earth mine, she wanted to replenish the space use time, and the time spent on replenishing the materials from all over the country before the New Year's Festival, and there were still 100,000 seconds left.

She needs plenty of time to prepare in advance, the imperial court's reserve grain is really pitiful, and the household department will definitely not be able to count on it.

At the same time, Yang Qiaoyue also sent a letter to the three major shopkeepers, asking them to prepare a large grain depot in each place, take out one-third of the silver taels on the books, and purchase a large amount of grain from those peasant households and large households who bought their high-yield grain varieties and had surplus grain.

These granaries will be the source of food that may be used in her space in the future, otherwise people will suspect that she is making food out of thin air.

Yang Qiaoyue didn't take care of the guests who visited the family during the New Year's Festival for a few days, leaving early and returning late every day to replenish space time.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she was about to go out, when suddenly a maid from the palace came to look for her.

"Miss Yang!" The maid hurried and panted.

Yang Qiaoyue recognized her as the maid next to Zhang Zhaoyi: "What's wrong?" Did something happen to Zhaoyi Niangniang? ”

The maid shook her head, breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Niangniang asked the slave maid to come to tell you that the third prince wants the emperor to give him a marriage, and after he is crowned king, he will marry you to him as the side princess!" ”

When Yang Qiaoyue heard this, she immediately frowned, she didn't expect Chu Tianhe, the turtle grandson, to come to this hand!
