Aunt Sun had a smug look on her face, staring at the end of the garden with a slight squint, and snorted coldly, "Where are the men going, can we women take care of it, anyway, the purpose of our coming out this time has been achieved, and the rest is still to be taken care of." ”

However, after leaving the garden, Aunt Sun still instructed her maid to inquire who King Xia Qian had been.

Besides, King Qian is the first time to come to the courtyard where Xia Jing lives.

Because the small courtyard only lives in Xia Jing and the servants who are waiting for her, it can be said that compared to the crowded courtyard of other people, she is the quietest courtyard in the entire backyard.

King Qian stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked down and looked down to see if there was no problem with his clothes, and then walked into the courtyard.

The small flower bed in the yard is not planted with ornamental flowers and plants, but some climbing plants.

But he can be sure that this is not a precious flower.

A little maid squatting next to the flower bed to weed heard the movement behind her, looked back, was startled, and stood up tremblingly, "King, king, prince." ”

Seeing such an unruly little maid, Anu scolded: "Bold! Unruly, I don't know how to see the prince when I see it? ”

The little maid is just a rough maid in the small courtyard, not very old, only thirteen years old, the little person was scolded by Anu, so frightened that he almost cried, and he knelt on the ground to salute him, "The sin slave has seen the prince, the prince spares his life, the prince spares his life!" ”

King Qian waved his hand absently, and Anu, who was following him, immediately took a step back and didn't speak again.

"You little girl, this king has not opened his mouth, you are shouting to spare your life, and the princess will definitely misunderstand this king again in a while, get up quickly, this king will forgive you for your innocence."

The little maid quickly thanked her and stood up.

King Qian pointed to the climbing vines in the flower bed and asked the doubts in his heart, "This king asks you, what is this?" Could it be a famous flower and grass outside the territory? ”

When the little maid heard the question, she breathed a sigh of relief, she knew this.

"Lord Yu, the name of this thing is sweet potato, and it is said that it was brought back from Fanwai by a sea ship."

"Where did the princess get it? She knows about it? ”

Hearing the movement in the courtyard, Xia Jing and the two big maids came out of the house, just when they heard King Qian asking about the east and west, she frowned unhappily, "Yo, this concubine thought who came to my courtyard to play a big name, it turned out to be the prince." I don't know that the prince is visiting, and he has missed the welcome, and he has sinned and sinned. ”

King Qian left the little maid, raised his feet and walked down the corridor, "My princess doesn't talk in a weird way here, don't know what to do, this king came here today to find you to have something serious." ”

When Xia Jing heard this, her head was full of black lines, could it be that this man was still looking for her for something insincere?

King Qian looked smug and walked past her for the first time into the main room.

Walked into the main room and walked straight to the main seat and sat down, looking at the living room of the main room, which was as cramped as his small courtyard.

But cooler than his house!

As soon as Anu entered the house, he felt that the temperature in the house had dropped a few degrees, and he quietly looked around the room, and finally found four ice basins in the four corners of the room.

Hiss!

I gasped, what a big deal!

No, there is no snow at all in Lingnan in winter, where does the ice come from?

Xia Jing turned around and came in with her, looked at the old man who had entered the room, and sat down, "The prince came here today for something?" ”

"Something."

King Qian waited for Hongmei to serve tea before answering her.

"What's the matter?" Xia Jing was very curious about the reason why King Qian came to her courtyard.

King Qian didn't answer her question, but first asked about the scene he had just seen in the courtyard, "This king saw that the flower beds in the princess's courtyard were full of climbing vines called sweet potatoes, can you tell this king what sweet potatoes are?" ”

Sweet potatoes, also known as sweet potatoes, are the few leftovers in her space kitchen, and she takes them out to make seeds.

"A kind of Fanbang food, I bought it by accident and wanted to plant it in the yard to try."

King Qian seemed to understand, and nodded: "Can you eat it?" ”

"I heard that it can be eaten, but I'm not sure." Xia Jing glanced at him and asked, "What is the matter with you coming here today?" Go ahead! ”

Anu secretly poked King Qian from behind.

King Qian looked back at him, with an inexplicable expression, I don't know why I poked him?

Anu pursed her lips and motioned for him to look at the ice basin in the corner of the room.

The eyebrows of the master and servant were eyebrows, for Xia Jing, who had spiritual abilities, she had already discovered it, but she just didn't want to demolish them.

Summer in Lingnan is not at all friendly to obese people.

King Qian is the one who thinks that Lingnan is unfriendly to him in summer, so it can be said that there is no ice in Lingnan, and the summer is completely dependent on surviving.

For King Qian, who has ice in the hot summer, the summer here is very difficult.

Therefore, King Qian found that the ice basin in the corner reacted the most, and he would not be as vague as Anu and did not dare to show it.

He stood up directly, walked to the ice basin to feel the long-lost coldness, hummed comfortably, and then suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "Princess, where did you get this ice?" ”

This time, Xia Jing didn't answer him directly, but asked, "Before answering your question, shouldn't the prince tell me why you came here today?" ”

"Oh~" King Qian remembered the purpose of his visit, and took out the confiscation list from his sleeve pocket, "This king searched the Lou family and found that the Lou family has a lot of properties in Fucheng, among which there are a few mansions and sizes This king thinks it is quite suitable for the Yue family to live in, and all of them are brought over for you to choose which one is suitable?" If it is suitable, send someone to clean up, and let the parents-in-law live with them as soon as possible, after all, there are many places in the guest house that are inconvenient. ”

Xia Jing wanted to refuse domineeringly, but she thought that even if she could rebuild the house, the process would take a long time, and it was not a matter for her mother's family to live in an inn.

Thinking of this, she took the list and carefully looked at several properties, including three yards, five yards, the smallest two yards, and shops with backyards.

You don't need to look at the courtyard twice, it's definitely not enough for the Xia family to live, but you can buy it and prepare it for Sister Xia.

The three-entry courtyard is still a little small for the thriving Xia family.

"I want the fifth house, the second house and this shop with a backyard, how much silver is in these three properties, and when the silver from the salt shop is delivered next month, I will ask the maid to send it to you."

King Qian originally intended to give it to her, but he didn't expect her to pay the silver when she opened her mouth, and this reaction made him stunned on the spot for a while.

"No, princess, this house was given to you by this king, and you don't need to give silver."

"Send me?"

The temperature in the room was lower than outside, and after coming in for a while, his whole body was cold, and King Qian felt cooler and his mood was better.

As soon as he was in a good mood, he gave away the three assets with a wave of his hand.

Xia Jing saw that he really wanted to send it, so she didn't be polite to him, nominally she was still his princess, and it stands to reason that his equivalent is hers.

Take it out of your left pocket and put it in your right pocket, and you're welcome.

When King Qian saw Xia Jing accept the property he had given him, he sighed in his heart, and asked about the ice cubes, "Princess, now it's your turn to answer the king's question, where did you get this ice?" ”

Xia Jing looked down at the list in her hand, she was shocked by the background of the family in her heart, and after listening to King Qian's question, she answered without raising her head, "Oh, I did it myself." ”

"Do it yourself?"

This time, King Changqian was shocked.

Xia Jing raised her head and chuckled: "Yes, in two days, my salt shop will have ice for sale, if you want to use ice, you can go to my salt shop to buy it." ”

As she spoke, she shook the list in her hand, "Anyway, you have a lot of money, and you still have a little bit of money for ice in summer." ”

King Qian looked at her in astonishment, and asked in disbelief, "Do you still need to buy ice for your own family?" ”

Xia Jing asked confidently: "Do I have to pay money to buy things in their dowry shops?" ”

King Qian: "."

He coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment, "You're right, who can't stand their rooms and wants to use ice, of course they have to spend money to buy it." ”

Xia Jing nodded, agreeing.

"Princess, you see that we are currently living in this back office, the place is a bit small, and it is too inconvenient for a large family to live."

Saying that, King Qian pushed the list of confiscated items on the table, and said in an inquiring tone: "The ancestral house of the Lou family is good, it has a spacious yard and a lot, and it is more than enough for our family to live." You see accompany this king to take a look, if you are satisfied with finding an auspicious day in a few days, we will move? ”

"The Lou family's house?"

King Qian didn't say it, Xia Jing couldn't think that the Lou family's house would be vacant.

"Yes, the Lou family has been imprisoned, and the house has been vacated, so the king of Japan will send someone to clean it up and move in."

Since he was a child, King Qian has never suffered this kind of hardship, so he has been living in Houya, and he really can't adapt to it.

Now that the mansion is vacant, he can't wait to move there immediately.

Xia Jing hesitated for a moment, for the sake of King Qian's good performance today and taking the initiative to send the house, give him this face.

"Okay, go now?"

King Qian nodded happily, "Yes, while it's still early today, let's go over there and take a look, if you feel dissatisfied, we will send someone to change it." ”

In fact, since the middle of the Yu Dynasty, with the peak of the national economy and the prosperity of the family, the businessmen of the family have money in their hands, so they began to think of ways to enjoy it.

As a result, the social atmosphere of the Dayu Dynasty was erosive and extravagant.

In the end, even the regulations of the imperial court were ignored, and they tried to transgress little by little.

Clothing aside, the ancestral house of the Shan Lou family, the entire architectural style and regulations, has already exceeded the etiquette system.

According to the law of the Yu Dynasty, the Lou family is not wronged by raiding the family and destroying the clan.

Anu held a paper umbrella for King Qian, and Hongmei also held a paper umbrella for Xia Jing, strolling through the Lou family complex, if it wasn't for the scorching sun, there would be an artistic conception.

"Stacked pavilions and buildings leaning against space, painting carved beams and quasi-princes." King Qian walked all the way to watch, and he came to the ancestral house of the Lou family for the first time.

But the audacity of the Lou family still shocked him, "The houses of the world's families are gorgeous, such an arrogant act, the Lou family only raids the house and goes to prison is considered an extrajudicial grace, if it is really dealt with according to the law, I am afraid that the destruction of the family is their ultimate belonging." ”

His words seemed to be justified, which made Xia Jing look sideways, "I won't interfere much in your official affairs, and it is understandable that you are acting perversely as a person in power." ”

Besides, the Lou family is not wronged.

King Qian's expression was much more relaxed, and he thanked politely: "Princess Xie explained." ”

Xia Jing smiled and shook her head, being in the Lou family's ancestral house at this time also reminded her of another thing, so she asked: "If the common people are today, seven or eight out of ten of them are sheltered in the family and become hidden households, have you never thought of taking this matter as an opportunity to investigate hidden households in the whole Lingnan?" ”

"Inventory of hidden households?"

King Qian has always known that there are hidden households, and he has sheltered many hidden households under his wing in Gyeonggi before, but when this thing is really implemented, it will affect the interests of many people, and he doubts that it is a problem whether the surrounding area of Fucheng can be cleared.

Xia Jing bowed: "The implementation of the decree requires a process, and you can't stop doing it because of difficulties, but because of difficulties, we can work together to slowly move forward." ”

"Lingnan already belongs to your fiefdom, and it is also your vassal state, and in your own one-third of an acre, you are not allowed to have a place that you can't control.

In the decree of checking the hidden households, you can transfer military officers and cooperate with local officials, and the two sides will work together to carry out this decree. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no summer harvest yet, we began to check every household and re-registered. If there is nothing in the official yamen roster, it is a hidden household. ”

King Qian knew that the world was difficult, and the lowest common people would devote themselves to the local powerful families, and if they were allowed to live in the sun again, they might still be reluctant to cooperate with the officials.

"This is your unilateral belief that it is good for them, but in fact, it is debatable whether they accept it or not."

Xia Jing glanced at him helplessly, she was worried so much today, it was completely because the two of them were a community of interests, otherwise she wouldn't have said so much from her heart.

"A decree cannot be carried out because some people do not cooperate, and if in the end they really do not cooperate, but all those who have not been registered will be dealt with as suspects, I do not believe that their vital interests are related to their vital interests and they will not cooperate."

As soon as these words came out, even Anu who was following behind her glanced at her back in surprise.

King Qian looked up at the blue sky, and rarely joked: "If the wealthy don't cooperate, can this king make a fortune again?" ”

Xia Jing looked at him in surprise and frowned slightly, "You can't be addicted to copying your home, right?" ”

Raiding the house is the fastest way to get money, but this policy means can be used occasionally, if you take the house as a pleasure, then the wealthy families of the whole Lingnan will rise up to resist.

At that time, it will not be a raid on the family and extermination, but the forces of all parties in Lingnan will unite against the Qianwang Palace.

"Haha. How can it be! King Qian was amused by Xia Jing's serious appearance.

Xia Jing seemed to be a little skeptical, and warned: "If you are not afraid of all forces in Lingnan inciting civil rebellion, you can try." ”

King Qian looked at the natural beauty beside him, but unfortunately now he has become a cold beauty who does not understand the amorous feelings.

Pity!

Xia Jing looked at him and shook her head, and said suspiciously, "Do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

King Qian slapped a few times with his fan, feeling that his face was cooler, and then smiled: "How can what the princess of this king said be wrong, and it is also the fault of all the forces in Lingnan." The reason why this king shook his head was because he wanted to clear out the hidden households of all the forces in Lingnan, and they didn't know how painful it was. ”

Xia Jing sneered: "In the face of absolute force, all forces are paper tigers. The more than 10,000 soldiers recruited before are almost ready to be trained, plus Xiao Wu's 5,000 personal soldiers, plus you and my guard battalion, forgive them for not daring to move, even a snake on the ground has to be coiled for me. ”

This is still Xia Jing crawling out of the coffin, the first time the couple have talked so much, King Qian looked at everything in front of him, and felt a little unreal.

But looking at the serious appearance of the person in front of him, he felt that he might be thinking too much.
