The suzerain's mansion is located on the central axis of Donglin City, and the former Donglin Prefecture Mansion was demolished, and in the name of corruption and sedition, the old ministers were deposed vigorously. As soon as the notice of recultivating farmland and rewarding businessmen came out, the whole city was boiling for a while.

Yuan Xi walked in the courtyard of the Sect Master's Mansion, looking at the lonely bell tower in the northeast corner, which was built during the Shangguan Mansion. The setting sun shines on the spacious courtyard, on the lamps and turf, creating a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

Looking to the north, which was where the capital was located, Yuan Xi folded his hands and bowed: "Your Majesty, I really did it." ”

Qin Shun suddenly jumped down from the eaves and landed lightly like a swallow: "See the sect master." ”

Yuan Xi turned to look at him, and then raised his eyes to look at the eaves, the courtyard wall more than a foot high, God knows how he jumped down, and there was no sound at all, it was really good kung fu.

"If you don't go to the good gate, you have to go to the house, and you will compensate for the broken tiles according to the price. ”

Qin Shun hesitated for a moment, and immediately changed the topic: "The rice seeds for the first season of next year have been distributed, and the people are celebrating with their crowns." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Is that how you use the word Danguan Xiangqing?"

Qin Shun touched his head: "I don't know." They're all happy anyway, and I think it would be better if the family had another cow. ”

Ploughing cattle? That's a good idea, and you can buy ploughing cattle from Yuexi and Tongzhou. Nowadays, the market price of a cow is three guan money, and the amount of Donglin Prefecture is huge, if you buy it according to this method, the price of ploughing cattle will go up all the time, and I am afraid that even a cow hair can be sold for three guan money in the future.

"Even during the Shangguan Mansion period, there was no precedent for a family to give a cow. Rong Zhan walked out of the room and looked at Yuan Xi with a smile.

Yuan Xi shook his head: "I want to set a precedent." ”

"It's a pity that there is no silver. Rong Zhan said succinctly.

"So, it's another trouble. Yuan Xi said in a low voice.

Qin Shunbian flattened his mouth: "Forget it, sect master, the minister just said it casually, don't take it seriously." Didn't you say you were going to see the copper mines? ”

"Copper Mine...... There are no cows, but we have minerals!" Yuan Xi looked at Rong Zhan with a smile.

Rong Zhan was stunned: "What if there are minerals? Make wooden oxen and horses, and let them go to the land to cultivate by themselves?"

Yuan Xi glanced at him and tapped lightly on his head: "Fool, think about it, kitchen knives, hoes, scissors, axes, what are they made of." If you don't have iron ore, where do you get all this stuff?"

Rong Zhan looked at her as if he didn't understand.

"These are the necessities of the people's life, in fact, the iron and bronze tools used in Yuexi and Tongzhou are all smelted from the scraps from Donglin minerals. The imperial court has banned mining for sixteen years, and if I order mining now, do you know what will happen?"

"Will there be a group of old-school ministers who will sit and demonstrate?" Rong Zhan really didn't understand her abacus, so she could only gag and joke.

"Stupid!" Yuan Xi slapped him: "A pound of grain is only worth a few dollars? If we expect agriculture to revive Donglin, it is simply a dream, and there will be no results if we work hard for three or five years." But if it's mining, it's different. A large number of ordinary people have a livelihood, and miners, craftsmen who make iron and bronze tools, and merchants who transport iron tools, will make a fortune from it. It's a one-stop deal, so why not?"

A smile gradually overflowed on Rong Zhan's face, and he reached out and tapped the tip of her nose.

"How's it going?" Won-hee tilted his head to look at him.

He gently hugged Yuan Xi: "I have to thank God." ”

"Why?" Won-hee poked him in the shoulder: "You have to thank me, I came up with this solution." ”

He bowed his head: "I thank God for giving you to me." ”

Yuan Xi was a little embarrassed and let him hold him. His soft snort was cold and hot on Yuan Xi's face, and Yuan Xi writhed and took a deep breath: "Don't keep blowing me." ”

"How nice it would be if I could hold you like this all the time, away from the rights and wrongs of the imperial court, find a place near the mountains and rivers, and build a thatched house, where only the two of us live. The sun rises and the sun comes and rests, and a pair of children are born. He wrapped his arms tightly around Won-hee and coaxed in a soft voice.

"That's impossible, you are the future prince, your life is already doomed. Yuan Xi said softly: "You can't lose your mind by playthings." ”

He scoffed, "Plaything, are you the thing?"

"you. Won-hee slapped him on the hand.

"You've been getting more and more into hitting people lately, and lo and behold, you're getting red. Rong Zhan pretended to be aggrieved and raised the back of his hand to Yuan Xi's eyes.

Yuan Xi pursed his lips and gently exhaled into his hand twice: "Is this okay?"

He quietly kissed Yuan Xi on the face: "You cute little thing." ”

Won-hee was silent, his warm cheeks pressed against Won-hee's sideburns. In the past, he loved the world the most, but now he loves Yuan Xi the most.

"Shall I make dumplings for you to eat?"

Rong Zhan raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise.

"You don't like it, then let Ling'er do it. ”

"Don't don't," Rong Zhan hurriedly stopped her: "As long as you do it, I like everything." ”

Yuan Xi lowered his head and said with a smile: "Wait." ”

The snow-white flour is kneaded with cold and sweet spring water, and kneaded three times and two times to form a round and firm dough. Buckle it with a large ceramic bowl and let it sit for a while. Just wait for its viscosity to be served, and then roll it into a long strip and knead it into a uniform size ball.

Cook the blue crab in a steamer until it is fully cooked, remove the fatty crab roe and crab meat little by little, and chop it into a fine filling with a knife. and minced pork leg marinated in pepper and salt. Remove the stalk of the mushroom and chop it, mix the three fillings, add oil and add a little rice wine.

The skin is rolled out into a thin sheet, and the filling is not exposed.

Cook until floating.

A plate of white and round dumplings was brought to Rong Zhan, and a plate of crab vinegar was ordered.

"Alright, you're done. ”

Rong Zhan sat at the table, glanced up at Yuan Xi, and laughed. He stood up and wiped the flour off Won-hee's face little by little with a handkerchief.

"Little Flower Cat. He chuckled softly.

"Try it, if it's delicious. My dad liked it the most. Won-hee forgot the dumplings and pushed them in front of him, with a smile inviting merit and reward.

He hesitated for a moment with his chopsticks, and looked the dumplings on the plate up and down: "It's good, but I don't know how good your skills are." You can't get anything weird into it, do you?"

Yuan Xi was stunned: "If you knew earlier, you would have wrapped a stone into it, and your teeth would be removed." ”

Rong Zhan picked up a steaming dumpling, dipped it in a little crab vinegar, and took a small bite.

"Delicious. He couldn't stop nodding his head and stuffed a hot dumpling into his mouth, hot tears flowing.

Yuan Xi covered his mouth and smiled: "You slow down, and no one will rob you." ”

Won-hee also sat down and crouched on the table to look at him. Rong Zhan also noticed that she had been looking at her, and couldn't help but laugh: "Are you fascinated by your husband's beauty?"

"Alas, these dumplings are not for you to eat for free, you have to promise me one thing. ”

He put down his chopsticks and looked at her solemnly: "Say it." ”

Yuan Xi hesitated for a moment, twisted his handkerchief and said, "I received a letter from home in the morning. ”

"And then?" he asked.

"The letter said that the eldest sister was coming. Won-hee lowered his head and muttered.

Rong Zhan nodded disappreciatively: "So what?"

"So what?!" Won-hee widened his eyes and pinched his face with a bow left and right: "What do you say?"

"What did I say?" Rong Zhan was puzzled: "Do you want me to dare her to leave?"

"What did you say?" Yuan Xi pursed his lips and sat aside: "My eldest sister is a rare beauty. ”

"Oh. Rong Zhan responded and continued to eat dumplings.

"Don't eat it!" Won-hee pressed his chopsticks, his eyes widening like two small buns.

"If you don't make it clear, how do I know?" Rong Zhan deliberately angered her.

"You know that. Yuan Xi flattened his mouth.

"I don't know~" Rong Zhan shook his head slowly, he liked to see her look anxious and embarrassed to say it the most.

"Oh, why are you so stupid?" Yuan Xi turned his head: "You are not allowed to stare at her, and you are not allowed to talk to her more." ”

"So, you took the initiative to cook dumplings for me to eat today to bribe me?" Rong Zhan couldn't help but laugh and stared at her seriously.

"How is it a bribe?" Yuan Xi snorted: "You are a dignified prince, if you always stare at my eldest sister, what will it be?"

Rong Zhan squatted down gently, hugged her waist, and looked up at her: "Are you jealous?"

was told that he was in his heart, and a layer of blush suddenly appeared on Wonxi's face.

"I don't. Yuan Xi turned his face: "Forget it, just because I didn't say it, you can watch it if you want to." ”

He smiled and kissed her in the palm of her hand: "My face is red, and I still don't admit it." You little conscienceless, when have I ever looked at others more? and still use your instructions?" he took Yuan Xi's hand and pressed it to his heart: "I have you here, and I can't accommodate a second person anymore." So don't be jealous, you always have to remember that you are the most important person to me. No one can take your place in my heart. ”

"Besides," his face changed in an instant: "She didn't end the last time she poisoned you with Xiao Rongshen, and I wouldn't have cheapened her if I didn't break her into pieces." I'm going to look at her? ”

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and touched his face: "Then I bribed you for nothing?"

"That's nature. ”

He squeezed Yuan Xi's hand: "Am I not good enough? Make you so insecure? If you are not at ease, I will immediately ask my father for marriage." ”

How can you blame him for such a thing as a sense of security? Speaking of Xiao Rongshen, the ending of her previous life has always been a piece of her heart.

Yuan Xi shook his head: "No, it's just that my eldest sister is too beautiful." ”

Rong Zhan smiled disappreciatively, stood up, and couldn't help but knock on his legs, obviously squatting.

"Little has no conscience, can I call you that in the future?"

Won-hee hid his smile and smiled.

"Your eldest sister has been getting close to Xiao Rongshen recently, she won't come to visit you as easily, right?" Rong Zhan frowned, always feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed.

If Wei Yuanjia wanted to harm someone, he couldn't send it to the door. Yuan Xi shook his head, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Rong Zhan: "Eat quickly, it should be cold in a while." ”
