The big boss shouted angrily: "We have been fooled, tie up this kid."

When she was pushed to the foot of the mountain by the bandits, she looked at the man with a gloomy face on the tall horse, and she looked even more confused.

The man looked at Zhao Xibao, who was tied up with thick hemp rope, and Junxiu's eyebrows wrinkled, "Xicheng, untie it." ”

The guard, who had a wicked smile on his face, swept down the mountain bandits beside her like the wind, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao, we meet again." "I also deliberately lengthened the sound with the word 'again'.

Zhao Xibao moved his wrist and wondered: "Why are you here to save me?" ”

The man with a straight face glanced around to see that she was intact, and said coldly: "Coincidentally"

The guard Xicheng lowered his head and drew circles with his feet, trying not to leak a gossipy look. Oh, what a coincidence. I happened to hear the secret report of Xifeng, and happened to bring the royal guards to the suburbs of Beijing to hunt, and happened to meet mountain bandits on the way to hunt.

Zhao Xibao looked at the man on the horse with a smile, and said playfully: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Ning, it's just that there are some things that need to be discussed with Your Highness." ”

King Ning's action of turning over and dismounting was neat and good-looking. Sure enough, a handsome person looks very good in any action.

Zhao Xibao pinched his cheeks, he couldn't be confused by beauty, he was down to business.

Xicheng looked at his master, although his expression was cold, his eyes couldn't hide a smile. Xicheng touched his chest, the master who has not bloomed for 10,000 years, fell in love with Miss Zhao?

Either or not, no one in the capital knows that Miss Zhao has no ink on her breasts, is vulgar and rude, and ugly and saltless.

Xi Cheng was thinking, maybe the rumors in the capital were wrong, Miss Zhao was not panicked when she was kidnapped by mountain bandits, she was calm and calm, and she looked better than any young lady he had ever seen.

At this time, Zhao Xibao bowed to King Ning: "If Gu Sanye led the Benhu Army stationed on the outskirts of Beijing to suppress the bandits this time, even if he wanted to save them, he couldn't do anything." Fortunately, it was the prince who came. ”

She paused, her expression solemn, and she said deeply, "Please spare their lives." ”

Ning Wang Ruyu's face did not change much, but he quickly reached out to support Zhao Xibao, who was about to kneel.

"These northwest refugees have not yet made a big mistake, and this king can consider letting them go."

Hearing this, Zhao Xibao mustered up the courage and said: "The little woman has an idea, and she also asks the prince to consult one or two." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Five hundred miles away from here, is the Zhao family Zhuangzi. During my visit, I found that the soil was poor, and the yield of rice was very low, but the cotton was very high. The more Zhao Xibao spoke, the more excited he became, and the sparkling in his starry eyes flowed.

"Lord Wang, do you know? I looked through the cadastral files in the Northwest and asked the guys in the Northwest that cotton is suitable for promotion and planting in the Northwest. I am going to hire these men to grow cotton in the northwest, and if the harvest is good, it can be planted on a large scale. ”

King Ning smiled lightly: "Others tied you up, you were generous, and you helped them regardless of your previous suspicions." ”

Zhao Xibao knew that he agreed with his idea, and he was in a good mood: "I'm not a good person, I'm going to squeeze them hard, let them work hard, and earn a lot of money for me." ”

King Ning nodded her forehead: "Little wealth fan." Zhao Xibao snorted arrogantly and ran away.

The big boss stared into her eyes, "I don't know what Miss said before, do you count?" ”

She walked to the big boss and whispered, "Are you sincere in submitting to the court?" ”

The big boss was a clever man, and immediately led all the mountain bandits to kneel down and kowtow to King Ning to confess their guilt. "We don't have enough to eat, and we are forced to fall into the grass to become cowards, just to find a way to live, and we have never harmed people's lives. Now, King Qiu Ning spared me and others. ”

King Ning glanced at everyone and replied, "Since you have the heart to be good, the mind is on your first offense. The king opened the net. However, capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. The porridge shed in the west of the city is still being built, and the king has ordered you to work without compensation until the porridge shed is built. ”

The mountain bandits bowed: "King Shainin spares his life." ”

"King Ning is kind and merciful, and spares your lives. Nowadays, although you work unpaid, the Ministry of Labor distributes meals every day. There is a shortage of people in Zhuangzi in the northwest of the Zhao family, and when the time comes, I will come to you again. ”

The fat man stammered and said, "You, you, don't lie, lie to us." ”

Zhao Xibao smiled: "My promise is worth a thousand gold." ”

King Ning looked at her who was talking and laughing not far away, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and she had a light spirit.

After parting ways with Zhao Xibao at the city gate, King Ning returned to his house to change into civilian clothes and prepare a sedan chair to go to the palace to resume his life. Whatever he did, it was impossible to hide it from the eyes of the One.

They are not only fathers and sons, but also kings and ministers. It is the most taboo to conceal between monarchs and ministers, and concealment creates gaps.

Walking to the Zichen Palace, Gonggong Liu said that the emperor did not summon the ministers today, but only reviewed the folds in the inner hall.

As soon as King Ning entered the palace, the emperor's calm voice came: "You're back?" "Report the matter briefly, bypassing Zhao Xibao's paragraph.

The emperor's index finger tapped the fold in his hand from time to time, and said, "Miss Zhao was kidnapped by mountain bandits." It's a declarative sentence, not a question.

King Ning shifted the focus, "Miss Zhao's proposal that cotton planting can be promoted in the northwest, and Erchen thinks this method is feasible. Hemp and silk fabrics developed very early, and they were basically able to supply needs, and there was no rush to introduce cotton. As a result, cotton cultivation has been neglected.

The sixty-ninth of "Southern History: Biography of Lie", records the cotton producers of the Western Regions: the hometown of Gaochang and its country. Its land is high and dry, the cold and summer are similar to Yizhou, there are many grass and trees, there are grass such as real cocoons, the silk in the cocoon is like fine silk, the name is called "white stacks", the people take the weaving as cloth.

The dry weather in the northwest, coupled with the lack of rain for many days in recent years, has led to no harvest in some areas, so the capital began to pour into the homeless, and the homeless people had no way to make a living, so they fell into the grass.

Erchen believes that it is better to be sparse than blocked. Lead the northwest refugees back to their original hometowns, teach them to plant white cotton, and dye white cotton cloth into the market, which will definitely win a high price, and the silk fabrics in the south of the Yangtze River are related to the interests of the Dou family. ”

The emperor nodded in praise, and asked King Xiang Ning with a stroke of genius: "What do you think of Miss Zhao?" ”

King Ning was stunned and replied indifferently: "Stupid." ”

At lunchtime, the queen sitting at the table in Kunning Palace looked at the happy emperor with questions on her face. "Your Majesty, what happy events have you encountered today?"

The emperor laughed heartily, "Qinzhi's strategy not only helped me solve the problem of the northwest refugees, but also may be able to crack down on those old people in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Since Yuan'er was injured three years ago, I have always been worried that he will collapse." The queen seemed to remember the past, and her heart was lonely.

"Queen, don't worry, I still have a happy event. Come with your ears. ”

The queen is well-maintained, and with the increase of age, her temperament becomes more and more elegant, but she still unconditionally spoils the naughty emperor. After listening to the emperor's words at this time, she said coquettishly: "You are a bad old man, even your own son is a pit." ”

Zhao Xibao, who returned home, slept soundly and was woken up by the little peach. "Miss, wake up, wake up. Rise up quickly and receive the Divine Decree. ”

Well? Divine decree? What holy decree?
