Chapter 169 The Little Girl Returns

When the autumn harvest situation was written down and presented in a document, Ripple was not surprised at all. The affected city had no harvest. Although the nearby city did not suffer from floods, the harvest was also poor due to the heavy rain.

Poor families are lucky to be able to scrape together the taxes. After paying the taxes, the family has no food left, and they don’t know how they will survive this winter.

"The taxes in the disaster-stricken cities have been completely exempted. If the taxes in other cities are further exempted, the Ministry of Revenue will not be able to uncover the blame."

The Minister of Household Affairs stepped forward to report.

"The taxes in other cities have been halved. At least this winter will be postponed. After spring, we can have some food in the mountains and forests. Those wealthy squires should not be idle. They should arrange themselves in order and take turns to give porridge in the city to ensure that the people in the city are safe. If they don’t go hungry, if they do well, their taxes can be reduced or reduced by one or two in the coming year.”

Lianyi had already had an idea, so he directly told the superior about the solution.

"Queen, what if you meet someone who is stingy and unwilling to do good deeds?"

someone suddenly asked.

"Then check the origin of her family property, whether her children are up to par, and whether she has done anything that violates national laws."

After Lianyi glanced at the other party, he said calmly.

"Yes, I understand!"

The opponent immediately made a smart move and retreated to his original position. The Queen was really sharp. She hit the snake seven inches and pinched the opponent's pulse.

"Governments everywhere must monitor local prices at all times. If anyone raises prices and manipulates the price of food, I will catch them. All their food will be purchased at a fair price and put into the granary."

"Yes, I understand. But what if they are united and unwilling to lower the price? The grain in the granary has been used for disaster relief and half of it has been consumed. There cannot be no storage."

This is also what worries the Ministry of Finance.

"It doesn't matter. I can take out the grain stored in my palace to help you control grain prices."

Lianyi waved his hands grandly.

In addition to the output of Huangzhuang, there is also the grain she purchased with her private treasury. These are enough to stabilize the price of grain in the entire Fengqi Kingdom, unless someone really wants to go against the imperial power.

Once they heard that the Queen had brought out all the output of the Imperial Manor, the ministers felt relieved. The next step was to discuss the specific details, which made Nannan feel sleepy.

After the court, Lianyi returned to her bedroom with her sleeping daughter in her arms.

Huizhi came to report that the third princess was back.

"Let her come to me."

Lianyi put her daughter to bed, changed into casual clothes, and went to the study to meet the third princess.

After the third princess saw Lianyi, she knelt down to apologize:

"Mother, please forgive me. It's my daughter's fault for making you worry about my daughter's safety."

"Get up!"

Lianyi waved his hand.

After the third princess stood up, Ripple could see that the other party had lost a lot of weight. The white skin that needed to be covered up in the past had completely turned into a bronze color. When she smiled, she revealed her big white teeth, but she felt much more energetic.

"Looking at you, you seem to be quite energetic. You must have gained a lot from this experience!"

"Yes, although this time was dangerous, I also learned a lot from you, and I really benefited a lot."

After the third princess got up, she sat down directly and began to talk about entering the new barracks, then moving to Longling City, then to Fengxuan City to fight the plague, and this autumn harvest. Ling Ling talked about it for more than an hour. , then he stopped talking without finishing his thoughts, drank the cold tea in his hand, and felt that his throat felt much better.

"Since you have so many emotions, please write down a summary of what you have experienced this time.

Now go and see your father. In order to protect you, he restrained the person who assassinated you, but something almost happened. "

"What? Is father okay?"

As soon as the third princess heard that her father had been assassinated, she immediately stood up and said.

"Nothing to do now, just go and have a look."

"yes!"

The third princess bowed hastily and went straight to her father.

Recently, Xian Shijun has used the excuse of recovering from illness to stay behind closed doors and refuse guests. He has never left his residence and isolated himself from all outside inquiries. Naturally, the Queen's instructions are involved in this.

The emperor's husband was assassinated and Rong Shijun died of illness. Now he is the only one with the highest status in the palace and who has been with the queen for the longest time. The other minor servants who have no status are not considered by those people.

Especially when the Queen clearly refused to remarry a new husband, he was the one who could easily ascend to the position of husband. These people began to work hard on him. After all, his status was ordinary, his family was ordinary, and he was easy to control. Plus he has a daughter, there are some things to think about.

But Xian Shijun is very sober, he knows his own weight, and he has no intention of fighting. It is also because of the queen's secret protection over the years that he has not been plotted by the emperor's husband and Rong Shijun.

He also knew what his own daughter's temperament was, and she did not have the ability to become the queen of a country. His family was just an ordinary farming and studying family, with no big ambitions.

After his repeated reminders, the family also understood the dangers of the battle for the reserve, and kept a low profile in their hometown, farming and studying, becoming a wealthy family, silently cultivating qualified disciples in the family, staying away from the capital, and letting some thoughtful people want to make a fuss. , and could not find a breakthrough for a while.

However, with the death of the emperor's husband and Rong Shijun, these people began to make small moves again. Xian Shijun was also afraid that these people would really stir up the ambitions of the family and his daughter, so he was always frowning recently at the news of his daughter's return. , only to let him show off his face a little.

The third princess came to Xian Shijun's palace in a hurry. After seeing her father with her own eyes, her expression calmed down.

"The Queen Mother said that in order to cover up my whereabouts, you were almost injured by the gangsters and scared your daughter to death! If anything happens to you, my daughter will blame herself for the rest of her life."

The Third Princess held Xian Shijun's hand and said a little aggrievedly.

"They knew you were not in the team and had lost their target, so they acted a little crazy. Fortunately, the secret guard your mother left for me was effective and protected me. You don't have to worry."

Xian Shijun smiled and said.

"No, I want to stay with you in the palace for a few more days."

"I have nothing to do. If you want to see me, you can enter the palace at any time and go back to the princess's residence first. Your husband is very worried about you. You should take a warning from what happened to the fifth prince last time."

Xian Shijun said seriously.

"Father, please don't mention this again. I won't make the same mistake again."

The third princess touched her nose and said awkwardly.

"Just remember. Go back to the Queen's Mansion first and see the Queen tomorrow. Then come to my place. I have something to discuss with you."

"Yes, father."

After bidding farewell to her father, the Third Princess returned to the Imperial Palace. The originally lifeless Imperial Palace came to life again because of the return of the Third Princess. Naturally, she was surrounded by people asking her, and it was lively for a while.

The Third Princess attended the morning court on the second day, and she was not surprised when she did not see her eldest sister or second sister. However, after the court, some courtiers were too enthusiastic towards her, which made her a little overwhelmed, so she ran away to see Lord Xian. Only then did I know the whole story from Xian Shijun.

"Daughter, do you want to ascend to that supreme position?"

Xian Shijun asked seriously.
