It's dark at night.

Under the dark night, the brightly lit Yanwang Mansion Carrier Hall is like a lighthouse in the wind and rain.

No matter how fierce the storm is, it stands still.

Inside the study room of the side hall of the carrier hall.

Xu Yi waved his hand slightly and waved away the leader of the conscience.

In the huge study, only Xu Yi was left alone.

Xu Yi leaned back, crossed his hands behind his head, and stared motionlessly at the bright yellow oil lamp on the eucalyptus.

I don't know how long it took, Xu Yi, who was originally staring at the oil lamp in a daze, gradually came back to his senses.

Xu Yi got up, picked up the oil lamp, and slowly walked towards the temple.

Except for Xu Yi himself, no one knows what he was thinking during the time he was in a daze.

Perhaps, when the time is ripe, what the party thinks in a daze will be announced to the world in another way.

Xu Yi carried the oil lamp through the Yuan Palace, entered the Heart Palace, went out of the Heart Hall into the Xiao Wall, passed through the layers of palaces, and finally arrived at the Changchun Hall of the harem.

Changchun and Changchun, implying that the princess is young forever.

"You're back."

As soon as Xu Yifang walked into the Changchun Palace, Wang Qiujin slowly walked out of the dormitory with a red candle in his hand.

"Well, I'm back."

Xu Yi looked at Wang Qiujin, who was sleepy but still in good spirits, nodded slightly and replied.

After the words fell, Xu Yi extinguished the oil lamp, walked towards Wang Qiujin, and reached out to take the red candle in Wang Qiujin's hand.

The other hand slowly took Wang Qiujin's little hand and said softly, "Didn't you say you didn't have to wait for me tonight?"

"You're not there, you can't sleep." Wang Qiujin let Xu Yi take his little hand and walked to the dormitory, and replied softly as he walked.

"You, you." Xu Yi chuckled and shook his head, and then slowly pushed open the half-hidden door of the dormitory.

Xu is a husband and wife, and there is a tacit understanding.

Xu Yi obviously arranged several ingenious maids for Wang Qiujin.

But for some reason, after nightfall, Wang Qiujin never let them stay in the Changchun Palace.

"The side hall is still warm with decanting soup, let's rest after drinking the decanting soup." Wang Qiujin slowly took off Xu Yi's robe, and then walked out of the dormitory.

After a while, Wang Qiujin slowly walked in with a bowl of warm decanting soup.

Today, one of the side halls of the Changchun Hall is transformed into a kitchen.

searched the entire royal family, I am afraid that only Princess Yan is like this.

All the food Xu Yi ate in the Yanwang Mansion came from the small kitchen of the side hall of the Changchun Palace.

Or it can be said that all the food Xu Yi eats in the Yanwang Mansion is from Wang Qiujin's hands.

In that small kitchen, except for Xu Yi and Wang Qiujin, the rest are not allowed to enter.

Wang Qiujin handed the decanting soup in his hand to Xu Yi and said softly, "Drink it while it's hot."

Xu Yi nodded slightly, reached out to take the decanting soup handed by Wang Qiujin, and drank it slowly.

The warm soup went down his throat to his lungs, and after a while, a layer of fine sweat broke out on Xu Yi's back.

Even with the whole person, he is much more energetic than Fang Cai.

"Rest." Xu Yi put down the soup bowl in his hand, grabbed Wang Qiujin's delicate waist with both hands and said softly.

The heat between the mouth and nose went straight to Wang Qiujin's cheeks with a hint of wine and heat.

The tips of Wang Qiujin's ears were slightly red, and after nodding slightly, she replied weakly, "Okay."

….

......

......

Three days later.

In the hall of the county government of Fuyang City.

Sun Daohua sat upright on the Taishi chair next to the first table in the lobby, holding a wolf pen in his hand and slowly reviewing many matters in Shanggu County.

After not seeing him for three days, Sun Daohua, who was originally full of red light, had a lingering sadness on his face.

Just as Sun Daohua was slowly reviewing official business.

Jun Cheng Lu Yansheng slowly walked in with several documents in his hand.

「

Your Excellency." Lu Yansheng held the document in his hand and bowed.

"What?" Sun Daohua paused, raised his head and asked.

Lu Yansheng raised his hands in the Chinese book and replied, "Documents have been sent from all over the county, stating that they have completed the mineral docking with the Yanwang Mansion."

"Hmm." Sun Daohua paused slightly, and then said calmly, "I know."

The amount of salt and minerals originally belonged to the imperial court, but it was managed by the county.

Now that the imperial court has rewarded Xu Yi with salt and many minerals, Sun Daohua and other Shanggu County officials have no other way but to do so.

Lu Yansheng opened his mouth when he heard this, but soon closed it again.

"There's something to say, but it's okay to say it." Sun Daohua glanced at Lu Yansheng, who wanted to speak and stopped, and said calmly.

"Yes." Lu Yansheng bowed his hand slightly, and then slowly spoke: "According to the county documents, after Pingyi Bo received the salt mine by the order of King Yan, he immediately disbanded all the salt mine employees."

Sun Daohua's eyes froze slightly when he heard this, and then he slowly said, "Bring the paperwork."

"Yes." Lu Yansheng nodded yes, and then quickly stepped forward and respectfully presented the Chinese book to Sun Daohua.

Sun Daohua took the document and quickly flipped through it.

After a while, Sun Daohua put down the paperwork and said calmly, "I know, retreat."

"Yes." Lu Yansheng gave up his hand and slowly withdrew from the county hall.

After Lu Yansheng left, Sun Daohua looked up at the location of the Yan Wangfu in the east of the city, and did not speak for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, Sun Daohua came back to his senses and muttered in a low voice, "Severance pay of five taels of silver for each employee."

"His Royal Highness King Yan is really generous."

Five taels for a hired handler, five hundred taels for a hundred hired men, and five thousand taels for a thousand hired men.

The salt mines in Upper Valley County add up to at least 2,000 employees.

Sixty percent of the land in Yuyang County is mountainous, and the difficulty of mining is more difficult than that of Shanggu County.

Because of this, there are at least 3,000 employees in the salt mine in Yuyang County obtained by Xu Yi.

The salt mine workers in the two counties are calculated according to 5,000 people, and the severance pay is five taels of silver per person.

5,000 is 25,000 taels!

Because Yandi is located in the border area, the price of rice is much higher than that in other regions.

On average, one tael of silver can buy two stones of polished rice, two stones of half-koji rice, and three stones of aged rice.

According to the calculation of the most expensive polished rice, 25,000 taels of silver is enough to buy 50,000 stone polished rice.

If you buy war horses, with today's market, you can buy 500 war horses.

And now, Xu Yi actually took 500 war horses, or 50,000 stone of grain, and dismissed all the salt mine employees.

"What does he want to do at such a cost?" Sun Daohua frowned slightly, puzzled.

But he knew in his heart that with Xu Yi's shrewdness, no matter what he wanted to do, the final result would definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

….

Just when Sun Daohua was puzzled.

Lu Yansheng, the county who had originally left, went and returned again.

"What?" Sun Daohua put aside the confusion in his heart for the time being, and asked calmly.

Lu Yansheng bowed and said, "My lord, Old Lady Zhu asks to see you."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yansheng's brows instantly furrowed.

This old lady Zhu is not an outsider, she is the patriarch of Fuyang City, or the Zhu family, the first family of Shanggu County.

is also the grandfather of Zhu Zongbao, who was sent by Xu Yi to the county office.

"Your Excellency?" Seeing that Sun Daohua had not spoken for a long time, Lu Yansheng reminded softly.

Sun Daohua sighed weakly in his heart, and then ordered, "Please go to the side hall."

"Yes." Lu Yansheng agreed, and then walked out of the county hall quickly.

Sun Daohua looked at Lu Yansheng's rapidly disappearing back, and sighed powerlessly again in his heart.

The county guard of flowing water, the family of iron.

Sun Daohua wants to sit firmly in the position of county guard

, on the inseparable court connections.

It is inseparable from the wealthy family.

As for political achievements, they can only be relegated to inferiority.

If it is said bluntly, the relationship between the wealthy families will be good, and the political achievements will naturally arrive.

In the past three days, the Zhu family sent people to negotiate several times, but Sun Daohua avoided them for various reasons.

Now, the old lady of the Zhu family is here, and Sun Daohua is no longer able to shirk the blame.

Fortunately, in three days, Sun Daohua had already figured out a way to break the game.

Sun Daohua slowly got up and walked to the side hall.

After a while, Lu Yansheng slowly walked into the side hall with an old man in a sixtieth armor.

"The old man greets the county keeper." The old man slowly bowed his hand.

Sun Daohua got up and bowed slightly, "Old lady Zhu is polite."

After the words fell, Sun Daohua ordered, "Look at the seats."

"I'm tired of the county guard." After Mrs. Zhu said politely, she slowly sat down.

As soon as he took his seat, he looked at Sun Daohua and chuckled, "There is a hint of sorrow between the eyebrows of the old lord of the county guard, and he dares to ask, I don't know what the lord of the county guard is worried about?"

"Lord County Shou is the Qingtian parent official of our Shanggu County, although the Zhu family is weak, if he can relieve the worries of Lord County Shou."

"The Zhu family will definitely do it."

Sun Daohua's face remained unchanged, and he secretly scolded in his heart: "Old fox."

Sun Daohua froze and said with the same chuckle: "There is really something that needs to be asked for the help of Old Lady Zhu."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Old lady Zhu smiled, then restrained her smile and said calmly: "Lord County Guard, but if you have something to ask, the Zhu family will definitely help."

Sun Daohua pretended to groan.

More than ten years later.

Sun Daohua sighed and said, "With the words of Old Lady Zhu, the official's hanging heart can completely fall."

After the words fell, Sun Daohua slowly spoke, "Old Lady Zhu also knows that His Royal Highness King Yan just arrived in Yan Land not long ago."

"The first thing His Royal Highness King Yan did when he arrived at Yan Di was to build a nursing home."

"To support some widows, widows, orphans, loneliness, old age, sickness, poverty and cannot survive on their own."

"As the parent official of Upper Valley County, this official really has a major dereliction of responsibility in the matter of the old man."

"King Yan's move, for this official, is tantamount to an initiation."

….

Sun Daohua paused slightly and looked at Old Lady Zhu.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhu listened carefully.

Then he continued: "Since learning of His Royal Highness King Yan's move, this official has been thinking about it and has always been unable to sleep and eat."

"This official also wants to follow in the footsteps of His Royal Highness King Yan and build several residential homes to make up for the dead."

"But unfortunately, the land of the three counties was suddenly attacked by the Huns after the year."

"Although they were all wiped out after that, the loss of the Three Counties will not be restored."

"In order to return the people to their homeland and recuperate, the county government has almost exhausted the inner treasury."

"Ah~!" Sun Daohua sighed heavily, and said extremely helplessly: "In the matter of making up for the dead, this official is powerless after all."

After the words fell, Sun Daohua waved his hand slightly and said, "Forget it, don't mention this."

As he spoke, Sun Daohua lifted the teapot and slowly poured tea for Mrs. Zhu.

After Mrs. Zhu thanked her, she took the tea handed by Sun Daohua.

After taking a sip, he slowly spoke, "The county guard has the people and the old soldiers in his heart, which is really a blessing for the people of Yandi."

"The Zhu family has lived in Yandi for generations, and if there are no soldiers who fought bloodily, there will definitely be no homeland for the Zhu family to live and work in peace and contentment."

"Such a great kindness, the Zhu family has nothing to repay, and is willing to donate ten homes with the county government as the people of Yandi."

"To support some widows, widows, orphans, loneliness, old age, and sickness

and the poor and unable to survive on their own."

The words fell.

Old lady Zhu paused slightly, and then bowed slightly, "Please also ask Lord County Shou to give the Zhu family a chance to feel at ease."

When Sun Daohua heard this, he got up and solemnly returned the salute and said, "Old lady Zhu is righteous, and Sun Mou thanked the old lady first."

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Old lady Zhu hurriedly got up and excused herself, "How can you be worshiped by an adult."

After the two exchanged a few words, Mrs. Zhu said goodbye first.

After the figure of Old Lady Zhu disappeared into the side hall.

Sun Daohua picked up the tea cup and drank the slightly cold tea inside.

Then he couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, "Old fox."

Old lady Zhu seems to have come for Zhu Zongbao.

However, this is not the case.

In Sun Daohua's view, Mrs. Zhu's true purpose is nothing more than two points.

First, through the arrest of Zhu Zongbao, he sent people to ask to see Sun Daohua for three consecutive days.

It made it fall into a dilemma between the Zhu family and the Yan King.

Second, when Sun Daohua was in a dilemma, Mrs. Zhu personally came forward to visit and forced Sun Daohua to see.

Sun Daohua can think of a way to break the game, how could he not think of the cunning of Old Lady Zhu's old woman?

Today, even if Sun Daohua does not take the initiative to mention the donation of the nursing home, Mrs. Zhu will knock on the side and force him to take the initiative.

At that time, Old Lady Zhu will go down the slope like a square talent.

Through the donation of the nursing home, he took the initiative to show favor to King Yan.

and sold it to Sun Daohua through this matter, so that he was able to get out of the dilemma.

I have to say that Mrs. Zhu is worthy of being the head of the Zhu family, and she is really an old woman who is cunning to the extreme.

As for Zhu Zongbao, it is nothing more than an introduction.

Pick up the grass and beat the rabbit, and if you save it, you will be saved.

Sun Daohua put down the teacup in his hand and looked deeply at the guest seat where Old Lady Zhu was sitting.

In his mind, he kept thinking about Old Lady Zhu's every move.

A moment later.

Sun Daohua couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "Are you acting on the spot, or are you really planning to completely fall to the side of King Yan?"

"Or...... Both?"

The prince is different from the county guard, who serves a five-year term and can be re-elected for a maximum of two consecutive terms.

Many county guards were not satisfied with even one term of office, so they were transferred to other places for various reasons.

Once the prince became a feudal domain, he was completely rooted in the domain.

Although the prince did not have the right to govern, he had the power of three battalions of guards.

In other words, the prince has the confidence to flip the table with the family at any time in the fief.

Of course, once the two sides fall out completely, the end result is often a lose-lose situation.

However, this kind of deterrent power can never be possessed by the county guard.

Thinking of this, Sun Daohua looked up at the location of the Yan Wangfu in the east of the city.

He said with a slight coolness in his heart, "Is all this in your calculations?"
