Chang Lexuan, Weiwang Mansion of Anshu County, Weiwang Tang Jiusheng sat under the eaves to bask in the sun, there was a torrential rain last night, like leaking the sky, the pool in front of the door was full in an hour, the lotus leaves in the pool were still rolling with crystal water droplets, and the fish of all colors were also swimming more happily in the pool.

Tang Jiusheng was originally worried that the pond was full of fish and would be washed out by the water, but the steward Cheng Long said with a smile that there is a hidden pipe in the pool, and when the water level exceeds a certain level, the water in the pool will be automatically discharged, leading directly to the Yuezhu Lake in the back garden of the palace.

It has been more than half a month since he arrived in the fiefdom, and every sunny day, Tang Jiusheng would sit under the eaves and bask in the sun for an hour, listening to Shui Ruyue tell him about his own past. Although Tang Jiusheng had forgotten a lot of things, with the assistance of Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang, he still dealt with some political affairs, and now the emperor has issued an edict, making it clear that the entire Jiannan Dao is under the control of King Wei, and he can't care about anything!

Long Si, Wei Qinghe, Yuan Lang, and Dai Chengchao, who met in Renxian County, as well as Zhao Tieyi, who met in Wanhua Valley, and Jin Chengzhang, who led the troops to vote, have all been properly settled, Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping have also been appointed as pro-military captains, and Wang Changlong has been appointed as a pro-military captain, temporarily responsible for training pro-military ......

Shui Ruyue chose a house on the right side of Chang Le Xuan and named it Contentment Garden, which is the name of Chang Le Xuan, the residence of the little brother, and is content and happy. Two people, one is content, the other is happy. The reason why it was chosen on the right side of Changle Xuan was the idea of Ximen Yushuang and Du Ruo, the great merchant country respected the right, and the second daughter insisted on letting Shui Ruyue live on the right side to show respect for Shui Ruyue.

As for Ximen Yushuang and Du Ruo, they each chose a house on the left side of Changle Xuan, Ximen Yushuang named his house Zishuang Garden, and Du Ruo named his house Yingyue Zhai. Ximen Yushuang laughed at Du Ruo, the name she took was like a study, Du Ruo replied very seriously: "Didn't I first know and love the prince in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers?"

Xu Dongmei was placed in a slightly farther house, named Songmei Xuan, Xu Dongmei did not want to be idle as the side concubine of King Wei, so that the steward Cheng Long bought a loom, and occasionally took the maids to spin cloth, even the prince's side concubine was self-reliant, and the people followed suit, and for a time it was passed on as a rank matter in Jiannan Road.

Zishuang Garden, Ximen Yushuang sat in front of the coffee table and chatted with Shui Ruyue and Du Ruo, of course, by the way, I have to reconcile the accounts, although there are people in charge of the palace, but Ximen Yushuang has the financial power in his hands, and he has been exposed to it since he was a child, Ximen Yushuang knows the importance of finance, after all, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, who lives in this world without money? Not to mention a huge Weiwang Mansion, there are many places to use money up and down.

Du Ruo just drank tea and listened to Ximen Yushuang and Shui Ruyue chatting, this princess and princess who had never even been out of Wanhua Valley since she was a child obviously didn't understand the economic accounts. Ximen Yushuang looked at Shui Ruyue, half ridiculous and half serious: "My eldest princess Niangniang, in Dangyang County, a soldier gave ten taels of silver, more than 2,000 soldiers, that is, more than 20,000 taels of silver, I feel so distressed to see it!"

Shui Ruyue chuckled and said: "As long as the little senior brother is alive, let alone more than 20,000 taels of silver, I am willing to give it up to more than 200,000 taels, he is all I have, can it be measured by money? Besides, the matter of looking for the prince is not a matter of more money and less money, and it is worth spending money! Whether it is a soldier or a capable person, what is everyone willing to follow our prince for? Isn't it all for the sake of living a good life? As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and the bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, isn't that the truth? Don't be reluctant to give up money. ”

Du Ruo nodded on the side and agreed: "The eldest princess is right!"

Ximen Yushuang gently tapped Du Ruo's head with the brush in his hand, and said with a smile: "Who said that what she said is wrong? It's not that it's wrong to spend money, don't we have to have a clear account! I don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, there are hundreds of people in the palace now, and we will get a lot of silver for saving daily expenses, our palace has just started, and there will be more people in the future, and the prince's fief is currently so big, can't make ends meet!"

Shui Ruyue thought thoughtfully, and then said: "I used to be in my mother's house, but I know what kind of food is in my father's name.

Industries such as silk and tea estates can make money. We might as well run these industries, and the more we spend, the more we earn, the better? With such a big gold-lettered signboard as Weiwang, we can't waste such a good resource in vain, right?"

Ximen Yushuang put down the brush and hugged Shui Ruyue's neck affectionately, "My dear Yue'er, it's not that our palace can't do these things, it's that everything has just begun, let's not compete with the people for profit, only when the people have a good life, we can be regarded as the source of living water! With money, we can raise soldiers, and with soldiers we can fight, such a big family business, we also have to live a careful life!"

Shui Ruyue smiled and tickled Ximen Yushuang's itch, and patted Ximen Yushuang's chest, "Okay, our Shuang'er has the biggest breasts, then Shuang'er has the final say!"

Ximen Yushuang gently pushed away Shui Ruyue's hand, and her eyes were crooked with a smile, "Ouch, my eldest princess, when did you become as immodest as the prince?"

Tang Jiusheng walked in from outside with a smile, "Ahem, who is here to speak ill of this king?"

The little maid of Zishuang Yuan made a blessing ceremony and shouted, "See the prince!", because the prince had already instructed her before, be comfortable in your own home, don't be so nervous when you're fine, don't kneel at every turn, and see the prince Wanfu, just mean it.

When Shui Ruyue heard the voice, the three of them hurriedly stood up and saluted, "The concubine sees the prince!"

Tang Jiusheng waved his hand and said with a big grin: "All sit, all sit! I am most annoyed that my family is still polite to me, I sleep on a quilt at night, why do I have to be so polite when I see it during the day, really!" As he spoke, he sat down first, and Shen Xiaoyu, the maid who followed behind him, couldn't help but snicker.

The three new daughters-in-law looked at each other, all blushing, very embarrassed, Shui Ruyue couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Lord Wang, you are too much, so many people, maids and maids are also there, is it good to speak as a prince?" Shui Ruyue motioned for Ximen Yushuang and Du Ruo to sit, and all three of them sat next to Tang Jiusheng.

Tang Jiusheng laughed, "Outside, Wang Changlong and Cheng Zifei are talking to me with a serious face, when you go home, the three of you still want to give me a straight face and be dignified? How boring is that! Oh, by the way, I came to you to discuss one thing, our Jiannan Dao is now in serious trouble, there are dozens or hundreds of cottages large and small, the common people are worried, and the magistrates also have a headache! You say, what should this king do?"

The little maid Yunhua came over and poured a bowl of tea for Tang Jiusheng, and then poured tea for the three princesses, Tang Jiusheng looked at the three wives and wanted to listen to their opinions. Ximen Yushuang couldn't help laughing, and quipped: "My lord, you still have to ask a few of our women about such a trivial matter? If there are bandits, then suppress them! The entire Jiannan Province is now the largest of you, you are the king here, who else do you want to consult?"

Tang Jiusheng touched his nose and laughed at himself: "It's good to suppress bandits, I like it too, if we succeed, the soldiers will have money and money! But after all, we have just arrived in Jiannan, and the real personal soldiers under our subordinates are only a thousand soldiers and horses, and the strength to guard the palace is not enough, and there are one hundred and ten large and small cottages in Jiannan Road, sending such soldiers is a drop in the bucket! Strategists, military generals, and soldiers have money and food, and this king does not lack anything now, so what can I do?"

Shui Ruyue said with a smile: "Little brother, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so I have to start from the things around me, from near to far, one by one, and get rid of the bandits in the entire Jiannan Province at once, which is obviously impossible at present! Let's find a way to clear the bandits in Anshu County first, this can always be done, right? Anshu County is your fiefdom, and the fief has not been resolved, let alone anywhere else!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded, sighed, and said with a melancholy expression: "Since I lost my memory, my brain is not good, and I have to mention more from the three good wives in everything! The strategists are extremely needed, but now I don't have any strategists under me! I feel that I lack a right-hand man, and I have to discuss with my wife if I have something!" The three princesses who said it all laughed.

Everyone was laughing, and the maid outside Ruyun hurriedly walked in, and came behind Tang Jiusheng, Wan Fu Shili, "Lord Wang!

Tang Jiusheng took it and took a look

, on the name thorn are seven gilded italic small characters, Anping Academy, Qi Siyuan. The famous thorn is made of fragrant nan wood, and now the famous thorn of this material is popular among the big merchants. Tang Jiusheng looked at it over and over with the famous thorn, smiled, and muttered to himself, "Qi Siyuan of Anping Academy, what is he doing when he comes to see me?"

Anping Academy is one of the four major academies of Dashang, second only to Heyue School Palace, it is more than 200 years ago, founded by Hong Changling, the secretary of Zhishi, in his hometown of Qilan Mountain, Luochen County, many celebrities and scholars are from Anping Academy, this Qi Siyuan is also considered to be famous, many times rejected the government's requisition, resolutely refused to go out, it is said that Qing Gao is very.

Tang Jiusheng stood up, said goodbye to the three wives, and said with a smile: "Then you talk first, I'll go meet this Mr. Qi and see if he has anything to say!"

Shui Ruyue and the others got up and blessed again, "Concubine to send off the prince!" Tang Jiusheng smiled and waved his hand, it was still inevitable that these customs would be unavoidable.

In the Mingyi Hall of the Weiwang Mansion, Tang Jiusheng met with Qi Siyuan, who is said to have refused to conquer many times. Unexpectedly, this Qi Siyuan turned out to be a scholar in his thirties, with a beautiful appearance and a graceful demeanor, after seeing Tang Jiusheng, he didn't bow down for a long time, and Tang Jiusheng was not surprised, this kind of high-ranking hermit can't be reasonable. Tang Jiusheng invited Qi Siyuan to sit, Qi Siyuan was not polite, and sat proudly under Tang Jiusheng's hanging hand, and a maid came up to pour tea.

Tang Jiusheng and Qi Siyuan looked at each other for a long time, Tang Jiusheng held the lid of the tea bowl in his hand and plucked the tea leaves, and asked with a smile: "What does Mr. Qi have to say when he sees this king?

Qi Siyuan's eyes were like torches, and he arched his hand and said: "Qi has long heard of the name of the prince, I heard that the prince entered school at the age of ten and became a showman, and at the age of eleven, he won the second place in Jiangnan Dao, and then won the second place in the martial arts. Recently, I heard that the prince was crowned the king of Wei in the year of the dancing elephant and ruled the land of Jiannan, so Qi Siyuan came here to see the prince and hear the ambition of the prince!"

Tang Jiusheng heard Qi Siyuan get straight to the point, and did not rush to answer, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Qi Siyuan's eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Qi, thanks to Your Majesty's trust, Tang Mou has been awarded the title of king, and he is already a very popular minister! Tang Mou's wish in his life is enough, I only wish that the country and the people will be safe, and the four seas will be peaceful!"

Qi Siyuan laughed, held the tea bowl in his hand and asked: "Lord Wang, now that he is in power, Ling Zun is in charge of Jiangnan Province as a national teacher, and now the court is weak, and all the kings of the world have their own hearts, isn't the prince willing to take this opportunity to go further?"

Tang Jiusheng got up angrily, "Mr. Qi, the Tang family has been favored by the country, and the current saint is sage, and he has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility to Tang, when this national crisis is in trouble, what we should consider is how to serve the country loyally, how can we think about usurpation like some traitors? Mr. Qi is too disappointed to me! This king is busy with official business, so he will not accompany him, and send off the guests!"

Wei Quan, the chief steward standing outside the hall, smiled bitterly, this Mr. Qi just saw the prince, and he instigated the prince to rebel, but fortunately the prince didn't say that he was going to chop you up! Wei Quan was about to invite Qi Siyuan outside, but Qi Siyuan said loudly: "Slow, prince, please stay!"

Tang Jiusheng stopped, but did not look back, and said coldly: "What else does Mr. Qi have to say? If it is a rebellion, then there is no need to say it, Tang Mou was loved by the emperor, promised to be in the country, and died!"

Qi Siyuan prostrate on the ground and said loudly: "The prince is angry, Qi Siyuan was just testing the prince just now! The reason why Qi repeatedly refused to conquer the prince before was just because the government was unclear and he didn't want to join the same stream with some people! Qi Siyuan had admired the name of the prince's loyalty for a long time, but he had no chance to see it, and today he met the prince himself, and finally knew that the rumors were true, Qi Siyuan moved his family south here this time, and he was willing to serve the prince!"

Tang Jiusheng was overjoyed, turned around and walked quickly to Qi Siyuan, and put his hands around Qi Siyuan, "Mr. Qi, please get up, it's Mr. Wrong for this king!, Mr. Qi, please take a seat!"

Qi Siyuan smiled slightly, "Just now it was Qi who tested the prince first, and the faux pas came first, why was the prince wrong?"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile on his face: "Mr. has traveled thousands of miles to join this king, how can this king be virtuous, he is really ashamed! This king is now confused about something, and wants to ask Mr. Qi." Mr. also knows that Jiannan is mountainous, bandits are rampant, this king first arrived in Jiannan, his soldiers are less than a thousand, there will be no more than ten, it is difficult to quickly pacify the bandits, there is no good plan to think about it, this king is anxious, please Mr. Qi teach me what to do!"
