When several ministers of the State of Chen discussed this matter, the Emperor of the State of Chen sat aside and listened.
He is tall and strong, with a dark complexion, thick black eyebrows, and a thick beard that surrounds the upper lip and lower jaw, adding a bit of weight. Even when sitting, he looks really awe-inspiring and not to be offended.
Several ministers seem to be discussing this matter seriously, but Yu Guang has been paying attention to the movements of the emperor.
Seeing that His Majesty had been silent, the ministers were about to ask the emperor's opinion, but listened to him sinkingly and said: "How is the progress of the imitating broken car equipment?"
When Emperor Chen asked this question, the official responsible for supervising the construction of the "broken car" broke out in cold sweat, and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent. No progress has been made yet."
Chen Huang touched his beard, "The Ministry of Industry has assembled talented craftsmen from all over the country. Over the past few months, you have taken a total of 200,000 taels of silver from the treasury to make that broken car. Up to now, there has been no progress. …"
Before Huang Chen finished speaking, the courtier knelt down in fear.
Huang Chen glanced at him and said, "Since you are incapable, change someone else." After that, someone dragged down the gray-faced Shang Shu of the Ministry of Industry.
When the others saw it, they trembled, and never dared to speak any more.
Huang Chen pointed out the Shangshu of the Ministry of War again, "How are the preparations for the army's food and payment?"
With sweat on his forehead, Shangshu of the Ministry of Defense tried his best to calm down and said: "In response to your Majesty, the army has expanded by 300,000 people, but... the food and payment are not yet ready."
Emperor Chen looked at him, "How far is it?"
Bingbu Shangshu tremblingly said: "About... About 50,000 dan..."
Chen Huang frowned, his face even more fierce, "Is it still so much worse?"
The Bingbu Shangshu was frightened by this question and quickly knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty, there are not many grains and herbs accumulated in grain depots in various places. The grain and grass raised now have almost emptied the local grain depots!"
Chen Huang frowned further, "If the local grain store is empty, I will go to the grain dealer to buy it. I want to lead the army to fight, but they dare to sit on the ground and raise the price?"
The Bingbu Shangshu said bitterly: "Your Majesty, those grain merchants have no food in their hands!"
Chen Huang looked at him with surprise.
The Armed Forces Shangshu quickly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has sent people to investigate, and most of the food has been exchanged by the goods merchants of Qi." He gritted his teeth and said: "The people of Qi are really mean and cunning. The powder and ointment used traded away the most precious grain in our country. Those grain merchants were really short-sighted, and they were fascinated by the superficial things, and they forgot the law of not trading large quantities of grain to the Qi State. I secretly transported grain into the Qi country! But your majesty can rest assured that those grain merchants have been taken to prison, the minister..."
When Emperor Chen waved his hand, he interrupted the eloquent narration of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and asked, "Why does Qi State want so much food?"
The Minister of War Shangshu cautiously said: "My Majesty, I heard that the south of Qi State was flooded with rain and floods, and many crops were drowned. Qi State bought these food for disaster relief.
"Disaster relief?" Chen Huang touched his chin, "There is no grain in Qi State's grain depot?"
Another minister said: "Your Majesty does not know that the southern part of Qi State has been suffering from severe drought for two consecutive years. This year it finally rained, but it caused floods. I heard that there was a plague in the past few months... According to Yichen, Qi's vitality is exhausted, even if there is a weapon such as a broken car, there is no power to recover."
There was indeed a flood in Qi, but in fact it was not as serious as Chen Guoren had speculated. The reason is that His Majesty, who took advantage of the convenience of rebirth, sent people to the places where the floods occurred in memory in advance to build dikes to divert the floods in advance. Although the time was too short and the fortifications were not fully completed, some places were indeed flooded by the floods. Fortunately, The people living in the low places were sent to the high ground in advance, and food was also sent to comfort the people, but it did not cause much turmoil.
"Chen Guo must have never imagined that I and my concubine were born again, and sent someone to rescue the people in advance. Although many places were indeed flooded, the loss was not as serious as expected."
When His Majesty the Emperor told Yao Yanyan of the news she had received, she was sitting in Feiluan Palace swaying a cradle made by the palace people. The cradle was made unique, and there were many colorful small objects hung on it, one by one. Touching the ground, I can't like it in my heart.
Hearing what the Majesty said, she turned her head and asked: "Is the news reliable? No one will be full of their own pockets! After all, so much money and food were sent in the past." They are all used to settle the people, so much money and food, on the first floor. I don’t know how many people have embezzled it. Yao Yanyan remembered that floods also broke out in Pingzhou and Yuzhou in the previous life. At that time, many people died because of no prior preparation. Later, most of the people who survived in those two states fell into grass and formed bandits and ransacked them several times. A city. Think with your toes and know that if the money and food were delivered to the people, how could they commit a mess
His Majesty also knows the meaning of Ai Fei. He took the hand of Ai Fei and soothed and said: "Don't worry, the people in the Supervision Department and Anbu are not decorations. They will watch for me. Your month is getting bigger and better every day. Just eat well and sleep and raise the baby, don't worry about those things, just leave it to me."
Yao Yanyan's belly has been more than six months now, her abdomen protruding like a small ball in her clothes, her whole body is also rounded, and she is no longer the slender figure of Liu Fufeng.
She looked up at your majesty's increasingly mature face, gently touched the bluish black under his eyes, and said distressedly: "Don't be too tired. See your dark circles come out?"
"Eh? Are you there?" His Majesty the Emperor looked around, walked a few steps to the dressing table and took photos in the mirror, and suddenly said, "Ai concubine, look, my eyes now look like you said before. That smoky makeup?"
"Puff, puff," Yao Yanyan didn't expect her Majesty to think of smoky makeup, so she couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, Father Gao reminded him outside: "Your Majesty, the time has come, it's time to go to the school."
His Majesty remembered that the Dragon Guards led by Lan Mengzheng had almost been trained, and he was waiting for him to go to the military parade. This is a matter of business and cannot be delayed. I just think that he has just come to Feiluan Palace from the Imperial Study Room. , I'm going to separate from my concubine before my butt is warm. I can't help but feel a little sad. He sighed, "Happy days are always so short."
Yao Yanyan saw that her Majesty said this in an extremely serious manner, and couldn't help but laugh again, but saw that her Majesty held her face in both hands, kissed her forehead lightly, and lowered her head to touch her. Belly, said: "I am going to work, baby, you have to listen to what my mother said, and wait for me to come back with your mother.
Yao Yanyan looked up at him, "Your Majesty, the baby said he heard it."
After sending her majesty away, Yao Yanyan planned to go to the garden for a walk, as the imperial doctor said, walk around more, and the child will be healthier after birth.
But she had just been helped by Qinghu down the stairs, and she saw Zhou Wanxiang's figure appear at the door. Zhou Wanxiang is Zhou Xiuyi's real name.
Soon after she married Li Shu, Li Shu was sent to Nandi to assist in the construction of the embankment. Zhou Wanxiang did not go with her husband, but stayed in Beijing to continue to manage the ointment business for Yao Yanyan. She came here this time, except for herself. I sent the account book and brought a new product.
"Look, mother." Zhou Wanxiang opened a glass bottle and poured a small drop on her palm.
Yao Yanyan took a look and hesitated: "This is essential oil?"
Zhou Xiuyi nodded and said, "We are close to the sea in Qi. Hasn't a trade channel been opened recently? Some foreign businessmen exchange essential oils with us for silk."
Yao Yanyan is now a pragmatist, and she shook her head when she heard the words: "It is not cost-effective to exchange silk with them for essential oil. You should exchange for food." Others don't know, but she and your majesty are born again. It is clear that if you follow the trajectory of the previous life, it will be the latest Next year, Chen Guo will raise troops to attack the city. Even if they use "broken cars" to confuse them in this life, it does not mean that Chen Guohui has given up his ambition to annex Qi. Their biggest goal now is to make more money and accumulate food. , Build high walls. You can't be the most powerful, and don't let people break it in a single attack!
Zhou Wanxiang whispered, "But this essential oil can be sold at a high price of one hundred taels of silver in Wu Guoneng."
Yao Yanyan is now raising her fetus with peace of mind, and she pays less attention to foreign affairs. She opened her eyes in surprise when she heard that essential oils are so expensive. Then she understood what Zhou Wanxiang meant, "Are you trying to make sesame oil?"
Zhou Wanxiang nodded and said, "There are only balsam powders in the store, so there are too few choices for customers. I want to try making essential oils."
Yao Yanyan nodded and agreed, she said: "I will appoint you, and then you can prepare essential oils at ease and tell me what you lack. As for the store, let Dream Poetry take care of it!"
After Zhou Xiuyi and the others got married, there were six people left in the palace who were unwilling to leave the palace. Yao Yanyan assigned them to various places to handle errands. Some managed the mulberry field, and some went to the Weaving Bureau to help. have a bee in one's bonnet.
After sending Zhou Wanxiang away, Yao Yanyan slept for a while. When she woke up, she saw her face swollen and her body fattened in the mirror, and she sighed deeply.
Qing Hu has been by her side for a long time, and knows her well, so he smiled and said, "Look at the servant girl, the empress is more beautiful than before." Her words are not flattering. In Qing Hu's eyes, she is now rich. Yao Yanyan in the circle is indeed better-looking than the original, she thinks the original empress is too skinny.
But Yao Yanyan didn't think so. During the first month of pregnancy, she still took care of herself every day, but since the imperial doctor said that the powdered balm was not good for pregnant women, she stopped in fright. Now that the child is almost seven months old, she has gained a lot of weight and can't use rouge gouache to decorate her face. Every day when she sees herself in the mirror or on the water, Yao Yanyan can't wait for it to be a dream.
Ugh! Your Majesty didn't mention it, maybe he's already despising me in his heart.
I don’t know if it’s because of pregnancy. Yao Yanyan has been thinking about it recently. She patted herself on the head. When it was time for dinner, she saw that her Majesty had not come back. She was afraid that she was hungry, so she used it late. After eating and washing, I fell asleep again.
After sleeping in the middle of the night, Yao Yanyan faintly felt a bit of soreness in her legs, and she was very tired even if she wanted to move. She vaguely wanted to open her eyes, and suddenly felt a pair of big hands pressing on her legs, pressing and squeezing it again and again from the place where she felt sore, just right, so comfortable that she almost fell asleep again. She remembered that her legs had been sore for many days, and she always loved to attack in the middle of the night, but every time she whispered in her dream, the feeling of sore legs slowly disappeared. It turned out that someone had been giving herself Massage
She forced herself to open her sleepy eyes, and through the faint candlelight, she saw her Majesty sitting next to her, bending over and lowering her head to massage her legs. The serious and meticulous appearance made Yao Yanyan want to fall. Touched by tears.
While pressing, His Majesty looked at the legs of Concubine Ai, who had gained weight more than a circle, and muttered, "Looking at the legs of Concubine Ai, how come they look more and more like pig's feet..."
Yao Yanyan:...
Trotter Trotter! You are the trotters!
Yao Yanyan, who wanted to speak with her majesty gentlemanly, simply closed her mouth, squinted her eyes, and naturally enjoyed her majesty's service.
I don’t know how long your Majesty has pressed her. Just when Yao Yanyan couldn’t help but want to go to sleep again, she suddenly heard the sound of the morning drum ringing outside. After a while, Father Gao whispered outside the tent: "Your Majesty , It's time to go to the morning!"
"It's so fast, I only slept for two hours..." murmured, His Majesty pulled down her trousers and covered her quilt, and then yawned and washed herself.
