Yan Wushuang returned to the palace with a cold face. Yan Wushuang lowered his anger a little after drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup.
After hearing the news, Meng Nian rushed to the study and looked at Yan Wushuang with an ugly expression and asked, "Lord, what happened?" It is certainly not a trivial matter to make his prince make such a big fire.
Yan Wushuang threw the official letter from the northwest to Meng Nian.
Meng Nian looked bad after reading it: "Master, is it because the King Pingxi and his wife knew about our inquiring about the suction dragon? That's why this trick was used." Anyway, no one believes that Yuxi will be so unselfish.
Yan Wushuang said coldly: "This woman is thinking deeper and deeper." Although the official letter thought it was sent in the name of Yun Qing, Yan Wushuang knew very well that this official letter was what Han Yuxi meant. Because Yun Qing didn't have such deep thoughts.
Meng Nian smiled bitterly: "Indeed, this woman is too treacherous. Now she tells us all the cultivation methods and precautions of potato seeds verbatim. We must accept her love." The problem is these. They already knew the matter, but it hadn't been put on the table in private.
Yan Wu put his hands on the table and pressed down forcefully, and said annoyedly: "We don't want to buy this water-absorbing dragon, we have to buy it." This water-absorbing dragon is so useful, if they don't buy it, there will be a drought in the future. Will only blame him. Because the price is not high, it is his fault that he does not buy.
Meng Nian nodded and said, "One hundred thousand taels of silver is not expensive. But prince, she should want to use this to earn fame, right?" If he guessed well, the things stated in this official letter will spread all over the streets tomorrow. Up. Many people may not care about the water-sucking dragon, but the people will definitely pay attention to the potato. Food is the most important thing for the people. This potato can fill your stomach and produce a high yield, but the people don’t like it!
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "You're right, she just wants to earn fame. As long as she has a reputation for being selfless, she can use this to recruit talents." Yan Wushuang knew that the Northwest lacked the most talent. Just because the Northwest is governed by Han Yuxi, these people are still hesitating. But as far as Yan Wushuang knew, some people were already ready to move. After this incident was spread, someone would definitely go to the northwest to join Yunqing and Han Yuxi.
Speaking of this, Yan Wushuang suddenly smiled and said: "If my guess is not wrong, Yu Chunhao should have received such an official letter." Jiangnan has talents. Since Han Yuxi wants to recruit talents, how can he let Jiangnan go? Woolen cloth!
Meng Nian looked a little solemn, and said: "Princess Pingxi has its own methods and scheming. If we can recruit useful talents, it will be more difficult for us to deal with in the future."
In fact, it's not only that Yuxi couldn't recruit talents, but Yan Wushuang couldn't recruit talents of his will either. Yuxi's status as a woman caused those people of insight to disdain to defect to her; while Yan Wushuang's reputation for killing kings was easy to kill. However, Yan Wushuang's advantage over Yuxi is that the capital is also full of talents. Even if many talented people were unwilling to do something for Yan Wushuang in their hearts, they would still agree if they were forced by the situation. But forced and voluntary, the situation is completely different.
Yan Wushuang said, "Worrying is useless, let's go with the flow!" If Han Yuxi is a man, his chances of winning must be small. But Han Yuxi was a woman, and she was dependent on Yun Qingcai in power. This was her fatal weakness.
Although the previous tactics had failed, Yan Wushuang was not discouraged. He doesn't believe that Yun Qing and Han Yuxi are really more in love with Jin Jian, as long as there is a loosening, he will be able to find opportunities.
As Yan Wushuang expected, the things in the official letter spread throughout the capital within three days. When ordinary people got the news, most of them wanted to buy potato seeds and plant them back. With such a high-yield crop, as long as 35 acres of land are planted, a family can eat three or four bites for a year.
When Zhong Shantong got the news, he asked Tie Kui with a look of confusion: "Why did King Pingxi do this?" Not just about planting potatoes, but about sucking dragons. Isn't the Northwest still short of the hundred thousand taels of silver
Tie Kui thought more deeply than Zhong Shantong, and said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver is just an excuse, the Northwest is not bad for this little money. Princess Pingxi should do this to change the views of the civil and military officials and the people on the Northwest." In the eyes of everyone, The northwest is a bitter and cold place for drinking hair and blood. By doing this, Yuxi let everyone know that the Northwest is not what it used to be.
Zhong Shantong still didn't understand, and asked: "Even if the Northwest has new high-yielding crops, what can be changed?"
Tie Kui was not very clear, and said: "Maybe they want to let everyone know that they have the capital to compete in the world, or they may want to use this to recruit talents. Only Princess Pingxi knows the real intention." Ruyan As Wushuang thought, Tie Kui also thought that this was what Yuxi meant. No way, everyone thought that Yun Qing was a person who was good at fighting but not good at planning.
Zhong Shantong couldn't help but sighed: "Kui Zi, what did you say that Princess Pingxi ate to grow up? Why do you think so many heads? Even the King Yan has suffered a few dark losses." Yuxi was the first one that Wushuang suffered.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "I heard that Princess Pingxi has the elixir in her hand. It should be because of the elixir." These were only Tie Kui's joking words. This kind of scheming is either inborn or nurtured, and cannot be changed by external forces. Tie Kui felt that Yuxi should be born.
Zhong Shan sneered, "Who are you fooling! No panacea from the Supreme Master has such an effect."
Tie Kui couldn't help laughing. Seeing Yan Wushuang deflated, Tie Kui was in a good mood.
Yuxi, who was talked about by everyone, was scolding Liuer with a cold face: "My mother asked you to walk around the garden in the hope that you can improve your physique by walking more. You are doing this now, and it is you who fooled you. Myself." Liuer took a shortcut in the morning and walked a third less.
Liu Er said aggrievedly: "Mother, my leg hurts." After three days, it has been quite difficult.
Yuxi said: "Your sister often fell blue and purple when she was practicing, and sometimes she was lashed if she didn't meet your grandfather's requirements. You just walked a little bit and complained, Liu'er, you disappointed my mother too much. ."
It was the first time that Liuer heard such a serious word, and tears fell from her eyes. Yuxi didn't seem to see it, and still sat in the chair.
Liuer cried for a while, but when Yuxi didn't react at all, she felt more aggrieved: "Mother, I didn't make a detour on purpose. I really can't walk."
Yuxi said, "If you can't walk, you can take a break and continue walking. Liuer, no matter what you do, you have to persevere to the end and not give up halfway. For this matter, my mother will fine you not to touch the instrument for three days. "Everyone has weaknesses. Zaozao's weakness is good food, and Liu'er's weakness is musical instruments.
Liu'er said, "Why?" Liu'er's favorite thing to do every day is to learn the piano and play the flute.
Yuxi said, "There is no reason. If you continue to do this next time, then you are not allowed to touch the instrument for ten days. The next time, it will only be a month."
Liuer felt that he was really tragic.
When Yuxi saw this, he turned his mind and said: "But as long as you are in good health, the time of learning the piano and the flute can be extended in the future." Liu Er reads and reads for half an hour in the morning, learns the piano for half an hour, and spends more in the afternoon. Learn the flute in half an hour. In addition, there is still a lot of time left every day. Liuer wanted to use it to practice the piano and play the flute, but Yuxi didn't agree because of her health.
Liu'er's eyes lit up and she looked at Yuxi and asked, "Mother, really?" This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
Yuxi nodded and said, "My mother speaks naturally. But you have to stick to it for three months first. After three months, if the doctor says that your body has improved, my mother will let you learn an hour's musical instrument every day."
Liuer nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will insist." She just walked around the garden and she could finish it.
Yuxi touched Liu'er's head and said, "Mother believes Liu'er can do it." Liu'er couldn't do it and she watched, saying this was just to encourage the child.
Liu'er burst into tears and smiled: "Mother, I can definitely do it." If you can't do it, you have to do it! Her daily hardship can't change her mother's attitude, so it's better to walk honestly.
After coaxing Liuer, Yuxi also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Grandma: "I won't have another child. It's so tiring to raise a child." There are more and more things, and there is no time to teach the children. But giving birth without raising is also irresponsible to the child. Yuxi felt that it was enough to add another younger brother to Qihao.
Grandma smiled and said, "Then you have to make sure that the next child is a son." Because of Qihao, she no longer evasively talk about having a daughter.
Yuxi smiled and said, "How can this be guaranteed? Even the best doctor can't guarantee it."
Grandma hesitated for a while and said, "I've collected a few secret recipes for giving birth. If you like, you can try it." Because Yuxi has been giving birth to daughters, Grandma is a little anxious. So she secretly collected a few secret recipes. But after waiting for it, Qi Hao was born.
Yuxi asked curiously: "Is this thing really useful?" Seeing the grandmother nodded and said it was useful, Yuxi smiled and said, "Qihao is still young, so I want to add a younger brother to him and wait for the next year. Just take advantage of it. Let people try these recipes during this time. If they are really useful, I will use them at that time." If all of these recipes give birth to sons, then she must have used them too.
Mother Quan smiled and said, "Okay."
While she was talking, Meiyun came over to report that someone had come from Beijing. Yuxi said, "Let Xu Wu entertain them!" Yuxi didn't plan to meet these people.
After a quarter of an hour, Meiyun turned back again. Meiyun handed a sacred decree to Yuxi and said: "The emperor said that the prince presented a water-absorbing dragon and planted potato recipes, and specially rewarded one thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry."
One hundred thousand taels of silver was originally used for trading, but it turned out to be a reward for Yan Wushuang. The corners of Yuxi's mouth twitched, this Yan Wushuang came to disgusting people on purpose. Yuxi said blankly, “Let’s take a look at the jewels and see if it’s enough for one hundred thousand taels." If it is less than one hundred thousand taels, Yuxi will not give Yan Wushuang the drawing for making the water-absorbing dragon.
Meiyun bowed her head and said, "Yes."
