Yongcheng is a bit of a prestigious family, like the Zhang family, there are a few people in the palace who are officials in the court, these people rarely interact with the Zhang family and other gentry on weekdays, how can the noble families who cultivate and read the heirloom look down on those gentry who are full of copper smell?

Therefore, when the gentry in the city were all giving gifts to the palace, some of those noble families were watching coldly, and they were still waiting for the palace to give them a post.

"After the princess's banquet last time, two families made up for Lilly, and a few have not moved, but today they have sent the post."

Caihe was not convinced, "What do we have in the palace, can we really remember that gift?" ”

"The princess came to Yongcheng, she is the most noble woman in Yongcheng, those people naturally want to come to visit, the shelves are high on weekdays, you know at this time?"

"It's late."

Yan Mu'an smiled lightly, "As long as your mouth is powerful, who is not a little arrogant, let them go." ”

She just wants to concentrate on what she needs to do, and she doesn't want to care about other things, as for the ladies and girls outside, she can say a few words if she can, and if she can't say it, she won't meet, and she doesn't need to woo anyone, nor does she need to look at anyone's face.

I have to say that this identity still provides her with great benefits, at least let her say as she wants.

"Princess, Governor Yang is here."

This is to be seen, soon Yang Zhifu appeared in front of Yan Mu'an, he is mainly here to give gifts today, respectfully presented the booklet, and said: "The gentry of the Xie family and the Li family should also be guilty of the Zhang family this time, first, they are mainly based on the Zhang family on weekdays, and they are considered accomplices, and secondly, these families have sent half of their net worth to keep safe, these are the things sent by each family, including cash, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, cherished medicinal materials, all kinds of food, etc., which add up to a huge amount, and the lower officials dare not make their own decisions. Ask the princess to decide what to do. ”

When the booklet arrived in Yan Mu'an's hand, seeing that the silver alone exceeded 800,000 taels, Yan Mu'an chuckled, "This silver came at the right time." ”

She briefly talked about the academy, "A place like the academy shoulders the heavy responsibility of cultivating talents for the courtiers, and the gentry cannot be allowed to interfere in the control, and the yamen should be responsible." ”

"The words are divided into two ends, we can't let the reader have to have a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he should solve his worries, not to mention being rich and expensive, but also not worrying about food and clothing, so that he can devote more energy to educating students."

"Students are already struggling to study, and if they can provide a better meal, it can also alleviate their difficulties a little."

Governor Yang understood, and bowed his hand, "The princess is very talented, and the officials admire her very much." ”

Yan Mu'an smiled lightly, and said other arrangements, "The Zhang family's grain palace has its own arrangements, and you will sort out the food sent by the Xie family and the Li family, and send it to the capital together with the grain tax when the time comes." ”

"The medicinal materials have entered the treasury of the palace, as for these antique jade?"

There are too many things and trouble, "find a way to exchange them for money." ”

Governor Yang wanted to speak and stopped, and wanted to ask how to spend the money when it was exchanged for silver, Yan Mu'an knew what he thought just by looking at his head, "After changing it into silver, it will be left in the public account of the yamen, you can see where you need to build roads and bridges, and use it on the people." ”

"How many granaries does the yamen have, and how is the grain stored?"

Yang Zhifu was embarrassed, "Yongcheng has seven or eight large granaries, there is only one place with grain in stock, these years the imperial court has left very little grain for various places, if there is a disaster, the yamen only borrows grain from the gentry, in fact, most of the time the borrowed money is not returned, and there is no grain to return." ”

Yan Mu'an frowned slightly, knowing that the treasury was empty, but he didn't expect that it was still empty everywhere, and he had already squeezed it dry.

"That being the case, the grain of these families does not need to be sent to the capital, but enters Yongcheng's own granary and is guarded in case of emergency."

Yang Zhifu was worried that the emperor would be blamed if he knew about this, Yan Mu'an reassured him, you must know that the widow king brought troops to Yongcheng, and the emperor did not give food, and said that they would let them find a way to Yongcheng by themselves, mainly because the emperor had no way to give it if he wanted to, he was poor.

"I will write to the emperor about this matter."

Governor Yang didn't say anything, but he thought in his heart that he felt that the princess was sending letters to the emperor one after another, and the emperor really wouldn't be angry?

In fact, his worries were not superfluous at all, and after receiving Yan Mu'an's letter again a month later, he took a deep breath, "Can't you finish the words at once?" ”

really underestimated the Yan family, when she arrived in Yongcheng, she flew up completely, and dared to promise the Yongcheng Yongjia a knighthood, and she removed the fame of more than 20 people when she opened her mouth, so that more than 50 students could not take the exam for ten years, did she want to establish herself as a king in Yongcheng?

This time it was sent a big box, there was a box in the box, and there was a letter lying on the box inside, and the letter was swept over, and the emperor almost didn't vomit blood, and it happened that the queen came, and the emperor immediately said, "The Yan family got more than 300,000 catties of grain in Yongcheng, and it was not sent to me, but it was directly filled into the granary of Yongcheng Yamen." ”

"What is she going to do with so much food?"

The emperor slapped on the desk, more than 300,000 catties, even if he sent 100,000 catties back.

I don't know how poor he is, the autumn tax has not been sent over, and the generals who come from all over the country to ask for food have piled up his imperial cases, and in some places he is embarrassed to say that he has been in arrears for several years in military salaries, and if he drags it out again, he will rebel.

God knows how much he wants a windfall.

The queen stepped forward to take Yan Mu'an's letter and looked at it, and then there was a smile on her face, "Didn't you say it, there is a lot of loss on the way to send the grain, and the road is difficult to walk, so I specially sent 500,000 taels of silver tickets back, which can be exchanged for cash at the Heng Pass number, please take this silver and be sure to widen the river this winter, so that the big boat can come in, and said that there is a lot of food outside." ”

"Really?"

The emperor was anxious when he saw that he didn't send him food, and he didn't read the content behind the letter, but after reading it, he laughed again, "Yes, yes, this Yan family is still very thoughtful." ”

500,000 taels can solve his urgent needs.

The queen was helpless, "It can be seen that the emperor has misunderstood his younger brother and sister, if you want to say that your younger brother and sister are indeed capable, how long have you been in Yongcheng, and this situation will be opened." ”

The emperor smiled happily, and thought shamelessly that he was still wise, if he hadn't let the Yan family go to Yongcheng with him, would he have been able to get so much silver?

The queen proposed, "Give a letter back to my brother and sister, and she will answer her request, and then send a decree to the prefect of Yongcheng, so that he must listen to his brother and sister, as for the title is not busy for the time being, didn't my brother and sister say that they have to be hanged." ”

The emperor nodded in agreement, and asked people to summon King Fu into the palace, and then summoned the courtiers separately, no way, his brother was not there, and a lot of things fell on him, and he was very busy.
