As soon as she left, he naturally followed.

"What is the princess going to do?" He asked lightly and seriously.

At this time, the two of them had already gone out of the door, and outside the door, as soon as the six maids who were waiting anxiously saw the princess Niangniang coming out, they asked with their hands: "Niangniang, Instructor Li has to follow you, you see-"

Pei Qing didn't look back, she walked as light as a feather, and she replied casually: "Stop him, don't let him follow." ”

In the next moment, the six maids got the accurate order and stopped in front of Li Yi.

"Get out of the way." Li Yi didn't look at them, his eyes were all on Pei Qing's back who was far away.

Six sturdy maids stood in the way, but the light in their eyes was fiercer than that of the men.

"The princess ordered us to stop Instructor Li!" The six people said in unison, and Yixue was humility before he cowered and didn't dare to confront the instructor.

Li Yi saw Pei Qing walking farther and farther, and turned a corner in the direction of the garden building.

He groaned in his heart, the six maids in front of him were weaker than chickens to him, and he could sweep them away and catch up with Pei Qing with a sweep of his hand.

However, what he cared about was Pei Qing's attitude.

This Princess Rui, this delicate girl who pretends to be pregnant and has very good means, definitely has a big secret to hide from him, so she resolutely refuses to let herself follow.

Sensing her attitude, he decided to let her for the time being, wait and see what happened, and secretly spy on her "secret" for the time being.

So the question is, what is it that even he, the benefactor who saved her life, does not deserve to know?

Pei Qing walked all the way, and his heart was full of excitement that he was about to exchange cotton seeds.

Not to mention that cloth has been a hard currency since ancient times, and cotton cloth, which is much easier to use than linen, can be used as a general equivalent of super hard currency wherever you go.

Just talk about soft and fluffy cotton clothes, quilts, cotton clothes...... Think about how many people can be warmed after it is released, how many people can be saved from freezing to death by the cold, and how much merit can this bring her?

With merit points, how much will it help her when her precious system functions are restored?

But the system is such a thing, it is good for her to know it herself, in this ignorant and backward ancient world, it is impossible for a second person to know.

She didn't want to be killed like a monster.

Li Yi wanted to follow her, but she wanted to get rid of him, not only because she was wary of him in her heart, but also because the system was so important that she didn't dare to let anyone notice its existence.

Especially when exchanging supplies.

Pei Qing walked into the garden building quickly, locked the door of the building when he entered the door, and inserted the door bolt of the bedroom after going to the second floor, and stood behind the screen, dropped the bed tent, and got into the quilt before he dared to open the system to exchange.

System: [The general equivalent "Famous Painting Handscroll" has been detected, is it possible to open the exchange?] 】

Pei Qing: "Exchange the high-yield cotton seeds and change all these scrolls." ”

In the next second, a cloud of orange-red light suddenly lit up in the pitch-black quilt, and under the light, the few paintings she got back disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by a large pile of swarthy seeds.

With a bang, the seeds filled the bed, and they continued to increase, and finally fell to the ground with a small pile, and it didn't stop until it reached the position of Pei Qing's calf.

The dark environment, the sudden appearance of light sources, the particles that fall out of thin air...... The result is a strange picture that seems to be in a legendary story.

"So much?!"

Pei Qing, who is in the center of the picture, was very surprised.

She originally thought that it was just a few pieces of waste paper that she couldn't use, and it was already up to the sky to exchange for hundreds or thousands of cotton seeds, but she didn't expect that the system could exchange such a lot of them for her.

"There must be tens of thousands of seeds, right?" She happily twisted a cotton seed, the oval cotton seed particles are full, and there is a thin layer of fluff on the surface, high-yield cotton seeds need 3,000 seeds per acre, and these seeds in her hands are enough to plant dozens of acres of land.

And next year, when more cotton seeds are harvested in the field, cotton seed freedom can be realized, and in less than two years, the entire Xixian County will be able to grow enough cotton.

Pei Qing couldn't put it down, and looked at it for a while before asking the system: "I also need a copy of the "Cotton Planting Manual". ”

System: ["Cotton Planting Manual" one hundred taels of silver, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver, thank you. 】

Although the system asks for an astonishing price, and the "Cotton Planting Manual", which is only a few tens of yuan a copy in modern times, is sky-high, it is already quite fair for Pei Qing, who did not travel with the library.

At least, you can have knowledge with money, and you can have knowledge that is far ahead of the times and thousands of years.

"I'll buy it!" She stood up happily, waded through the pile of cotton seeds, and walked quickly downstairs, books were different from other things, and she didn't feel pain in spending money on books.

Opening the door of the building, as expected, Li Yi was standing guard at the door, it seemed that since she had trained him last time, he had finally understood the rules?

After thinking about it, Pei Qing ordered: "Guard Li, you help me move the box containing silver upstairs, and then you come out to guard it." ”

There are still a few hundred taels of silver left from Zeng County's order, and it is on the first floor, and she can't take it herself, so she can only use Li Yi.

Sure enough, Li Yi, who was leaning on the door frame leisurely, stood up straight, first glanced at her suspiciously, and then worked.

After the silver was placed in the middle of the room on the second floor, Pei Qing urged him to leave quickly, as if he was afraid that he would transport the silver downstairs if he was one step too late.

"Stay outside, don't come in!" She is becoming more and more unkind to him, not so delicate in the face of others, but not annoying, but unconsciously a little coquettish.

Li Yi glanced at her without any emotion and walked away.

As soon as he came downstairs, he heard the sound of heavy objects dragging on the ceiling overhead.

Depending on the direction in which the voice moved, he seemed to see a scene of a delicate girl pushing a silver box behind the screen.

"What the hell are you doing?" Li Yi raised his head, revealing his handsome and thin Adam's apple, and he stared intently at the wooden board above his head, wanting to hear the movement on the second floor.

But there was no longer the sound of heavy objects dragging on the second floor, and a moment later came the sound of Pei Qing's light footsteps.

She walked briskly downstairs, three more booklets in her hand, and the wooden box of silver upstairs was mostly empty.

Pei Qing flipped through the books in her hand, a "Cotton Planting Handbook", a "First Grade Chinese Volume", and a "First Grade Mathematics Volume", each book cost a hundred taels of silver to exchange, and the heavy silver was exchanged for a light book, but she felt that she had earned it.

At this time, Steward Zhang came to report on the work: "Princess Niangniang, the porridge shed consumes a huge amount of grain, and there is only one day's amount left in the warehouse, do you still have to buy more grain?" ”

Pei Qing raised his head from the book, glanced at Li Yi lightly, and ordered softly: "Guard Li, go upstairs and go to the silver box to get a hundred taels of silver for Steward Zhang." ”

Li Yi's eyebrows moved, and he went upstairs again without any emotion, he bypassed the screen and saw the cash box that was moved upstairs just now, the box was opened, as far as he could see, he always felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously carried it......

Strangely, the weight of the box is much lighter.

More than half of the money in it has disappeared in such a short period of time!

Pei Qing waited downstairs, waited and waited, and then raised his voice in surprise: "Guard Li, what are you doing?" Why can't it come down yet? ”

She didn't hear from Li Yi, and waited for a while before seeing him slowly descend from the second floor with long legs, holding a silver ingot in his hand at random, and the face towel covered most of his face so that he couldn't see his expression, and he could only see that his eyes were full of confusion.

After taking the silver from him, Pei Qing handed the money to Steward Zhang, and while instructing him to buy food, he said in a cold tone: "This money is used to help the poor, and every penny is useful. ”

The voice was not high, but he could hear Steward Zhang's sweat like rain, his scalp tightened for a while, and he bowed respectfully and said: "Yes, yes, the little one will never dare to be greedy for a penny, and he will definitely take it all to buy grain!" ”

knocked on Steward Zhang, but Pei Qing gave him a sweet date to eat: "In the future, the palace industry will expand, and the palace will have more and more money, Steward Zhang, I look forward to the day when you become the head of Zhang, in charge of the palace's hundreds of millions of money." ”

Steward Zhang bent his waist lower, didn't dare to look at Pei Qing, nor did he dare to look at Li Yi, he retreated, his heart was beating suddenly, he couldn't tell what it was like, he was excited and worried.

The princess, she is too bold, right?

Billions of money...... Who would dare to think?

After Steward Zhang left, there were only two people left in the building, and Li Yi asked blankly: "Princess, do you know that there is a lot less money in the cash box?" ”

Pei Qing said casually: "I hid it." ”

Li Yi's eyes were like lightning, and Qing Lingling glanced at her without speaking.

Oh, hidden?

Guess Thaksin?

At the entrance of the palace, there was a long queue outside the porridge shed, and at the top of the line was the person in charge of putting porridge in the palace.

Since yesterday, the two people who managed the porridge shed were Wang Xiucai and Zhou Xiucai, who were invited by the palace, and the two of them sat behind the table, with pen and ink and a roster on the table, because each person who received the porridge only had a share of two bowls, and their task was to check the names of the people who received the porridge, register and make sure that they received everything.

In March, when the spring was still a little cold, Wang Xiucai and Zhou Xiucai registered a few names and asked them to draw and press their handprints, and then rubbed their hands to keep warm.

Their side was in order, but unexpectedly, there was a little commotion at the end of the porridge procession.

Originally, the people who came to ask for porridge with their own bowls were all poor people, old and young, men and women, because the princess Niangniang had specially instructed not to disturb the order, so everyone was queuing up seriously, which was much more neat than in previous years when the imperial court opened a warehouse to release grain.

However, that afternoon, there were more people in the queue to receive the porridge, and compared with the other poor people with yellow faces and thin muscles, these people were all fat heads, big ears, chest and belly, although they were also wearing shabby clothes, but they were all strong men with red faces and even meaty faces, which were incompatible with the whole porridge procession.

However, these people still lined up peacefully, although their eyes were flying, they didn't disturb anyone.

This made Wang Xiucai look at Zhou Xiucai, and Zhou Xiucai looked at Wang Xiucai, and both of them were surprised.

When these strong men came to the vicinity of the porridge shed and were about to sign and draw to receive the porridge, Wang Xiucai couldn't help but ask: "You are also here to eat porridge?" ”

He just asked casually, the porridge was not his, and these people were also unknown to him, he didn't plan to compare anything with them, but he just saw that these people really didn't look like they couldn't afford to eat.

However, after listening to Wang Xiucai's words, these people glared at them with bad intentions: "Why, if others can eat, we can't eat it?" That's why the palace told you to put porridge like this? ”

Wang Xiucai was choked, indeed, the princess said that she wanted to give porridge to the poor, but what is the definition of a poor person? It's rags, isn't it?

These people in front of them are dressed very much in line with the characteristics of the poor, so they are also eligible to receive porridge?

Wang Xiucai hesitated, so he had to discuss with Zhou Xiucai and register them and put porridge, these people were quite numerous, but they didn't eat after receiving the porridge, but left with the porridge bowl, and came back with the empty bowl after a while, and actually wanted to queue up.

"The princess said that there are two bowls of porridge per person per day, and there is no more." Wang Xiucai said to these people with a straight face, "If you are young and strong, you can just come to receive porridge once, how can you come a second time?" Don't you see that there are still a lot of old and young women and children who don't have porridge to eat? ”

These people didn't care so much, they just didn't leave when they stood in front of the cauldron where the porridge was cooking, and for a while they blocked out the people who were waiting to eat the porridge behind.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and put the porridge," these people scolded and scolded, and surrounded Wang Xiucai and Zhou Xiucai in three layers inside and three layers outside, "Let's wait for this half a day to eat half full, if you don't feed us, you will lift your pot!" ”

They shouted and scared, which was a little scary at first glance, but Wang Xiucai and Zhou Xiucai were a little frightened.

At this time, Steward Zhang, who was about to put grain in the porridge pot with raw rice, came over, and frowned when he saw this situation, but he could only persuade them to line up with kind words.

Seeing that there was no force in the palace, these people surrounded the porridge pot more and more, and the noisy shouting alarmed the people in the palace.

Pei Qing was watching her "Personal Female Guards Reserve" training at this time, and after hearing the noise, she shouted to stop.

Li Yi also heard the sound outside, he glanced at her face, and asked in a deep voice, "I'll go out and have a look?" ”

Pei Qing's eyelashes jumped, and she gave him a delicate look, and she chuckled: "You knife rest, sisters, go out with me." ”

With that, she took six personal guards and went out.

Pei Qing stood at the gate of the palace for a while, looked at the scene for a while, and then turned around and whispered to the six female guards.

The six female guards instantly turned red, and looked at their delicate princess in disbelief, all of them suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Looking at the stunned expressions of the six people, Pei Qing smiled slightly: "It's not okay to be the princess's guard, it's too embarrassing." Go ahead, show some woman's spirit, and give this princess a long face. ”
