Yinxiang glanced at Chi Xia, not knowing where she came from so many strange words.

He hadn't heard of the rights and wrongs of Ortai's back house.

Seeing that this trick was really effective, Chi Xia even had a crying expression on his face, and even changed his title: "Brother Nie." My father's concubine is very arrogant, she dares to beat and scold us in front of my father, my mother has been so angry that she moved to another courtyard, if my brother falls out of favor again, we will have no way to live. ”

The attitude of the shopkeeper surnamed Nie is really much better than Fang Cai, and he doesn't scold anymore.

The heart said that this father is really unreliable.

I said helplessly: "Little girl, it's not that I don't help you, it's really no food." Not to mention our Zhengding County, plus the seven or eight counties and cities on the side, you won't be able to receive grain. Let's go somewhere else. ”

Chi Xia: "Why? They clearly said that there was a bumper harvest here. We came here in a hurry. ”

The shopkeeper was angry and sad: "You go to the field to see, there are so many seedlings in an acre of land, how can there be a bumper harvest." There are a lot of ears in each knot, but they can be sparsely pulled, and the yield is not as good as half of that of previous years. This new seed sucks! ”

Chi Xia pinched herself, and finally let the tears fall out of her eyes, with her eye makeup, it really means "pear blossoms bring rain".

"Then Brother Nie, why did you scold us grain merchants just now, aren't you also a grain merchant yourself? We do proper business, and we have never done anything that is unprofitable. ”

The shopkeeper didn't expect to scold people and cry, she was still such a good-looking girl, and she was a little at a loss for a while.

"I'm not talking about you. I mean, the people who coaxed the harvesters with high prices and took away all the surplus food from their hands. At first, when they came to harvest grain, they lied to us that the new seeds were so thin, and the yield must be good when they set heading, and later they said that the government would release grain. ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became: "The common people all say that the money is good, and after listening to their words, now eight out of ten families have run out of food, planted new seeds, and the rent is still higher than in previous years, and if they do not pay the public grain, they will be sent to prison." But now you can't buy grain at high prices, don't you see that there are fewer and fewer people in Zhengding County? Those who really couldn't hand it over ran away. ”

New Seeds never said they would raise taxes and rents. The county magistrate in this place is too bold.

Chi Xia put away her tears: "So that's the case, I misunderstood Brother Nie, I'll compensate you." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand, and was about to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he still persuaded: "You can't receive food, hurry up and set off to change places." It's not safe here. ”

He probably woke up from the wine, and after saying this, he refused to say anything more, and staggered away.

Chi Xia couldn't stand the high-waterproof makeup on his face, went back to his house to unload it, and came to Yinxiang to discuss: "Is the situation a little more complicated than we imagined?" These people who came early to collect grain at a high price clearly knew that there would be a reduction in production here, and had been stockpiling grain in a planned way a few months ago. ”

Therefore, this reduction in production is by no means a natural factor.

Yinxiang nodded, in Zhili, he was mainly looking at the river, and only went to the field after being stopped and complained, but he didn't go into the city, and he didn't know that someone had collected grain in advance: "Go to the field again and ask a few farmers." ”

Chi Xia was a little worried: "Your whereabouts are not a secret, today we are so swaggering, I'm afraid someone has already targeted us." ”

The grain merchants can know in advance that the new seeds will reduce the yield, which shows that the government has done tricks and tricks inside, and is also colluding with those grain merchants.

The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and it is not safe to stay.

Yinxiang snorted: "It's okay, we used to be on errands, and no matter how dangerous the situation was, we had experienced it." Don't worry, you are the fourth brother's "magic weapon", and I won't let you have an accident. ”

Chi Xia's brows furrowed even tighter: "If something happens to you, how can the emperor deal with himself?" Do you think you're still the same wanton and happy flat-headed brother you used to be? ”

She was a little angry, pursed her lips, and didn't hold back: "In the last life, on the fourth day of the fifth month of the eighth year of Yongzheng, you sent a letter to the emperor when you were dying, saying that you were in good health, and you would go to him to ask him for peace in a few days." And then you just walked away. ”

Yongzheng didn't say anything in detail about his "early death" back then, Yinxiang didn't know that he had done this when he was dying, but thinking about it, he did have his own "style", and coughed embarrassedly, I don't know why she talked about this again.

Chi Xia remembered Yongzheng's low "nonsense" when he was drunk, and simply gritted his teeth and said: "The day after you went, the emperor summoned Zhang Tingyu and others to make a will, and put the edict behind the Zhengda Guangming plaque, and he even chose the burial objects at that time. ”

Yinxiang: ......

Chi Xia glared at him: "The emperor chose the Buddha beads given to him by the Empress Dowager Wen of Xiaozhuang, the abacus given by your emperor Amma, and the snuff box you gave him, these three pieces." ”

"When you go out, the emperor will send two imperial doctors to follow you. Do you think he's just overcaring? Have you ever thought that he would also be afraid, afraid that this history would still not change, afraid that he would be a lonely man and a lonely ghost after all? ”

If she is a "plug-in", Yinxiang is more like Yongzheng's "comrade-in-arms", from the previous life to this life, she has the same concept as him, supports him unconditionally, and is an unchanging "anchor" in his strange experience of being a person in two lives.

Yinxiang was so stressed that he couldn't raise his head anymore: "I said sister-in-law, did you have any misunderstanding...... I didn't say I was going to go to Longtan Tiger's Den alone. ”

He shook the fold in his hand with a smile: "I mean, let's take a look at the real harvest of the experimental sites in various places along the way." Naturally, I want to go back to Beijing, you go to remove your makeup, I'm writing an excerpt, and ...... I've just sent the Zhili Guards over. ”

Chi Xia: ......

Sorry, I've watched too many TV series.

She thought Yinxiang was going to go on her own. I didn't expect people to applaud my little brother.

It's embarrassing.

Yinxiang just added fuel to the fire: "It's good that my sister-in-law feels sorry for the fourth brother, but I can't intervene when I am trained to split my head and cover my face." ”

"Okay, please forget what happened just now," Chi Xia wiped his face, feeling that he might as well not remove his makeup just now, and still hide his embarrassment.

Yinxiang didn't tease her anymore, and said seriously: "I remember everything you said." Go back and rest, I'll finish the fold. ”

Chi Xia suddenly remembered that her own test site had not been confiscated: "Then Your Highness will help me remind the emperor to find someone to harvest the wheat in Yuhua Pavilion." ”

Yinxiang: "The message between husband and wife is that the flowers on Mo can slowly return, you let me send the message, and ask the fourth brother to collect wheat?" ”

Chi Xia thought for a while: "There are also sweet potato seedlings, which were just planted a few days ago, so let him find someone to water them regularly." ”

Yinxiang didn't know whether to praise her for being serious or to say that she didn't understand the amorous feelings.

In the end, he waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

After he finished writing the fold and asked people to hand it out, he just lay down with his clothes when he heard something strange outside.
