Chapter 305: Enabling Xie Zhan

At night

Qin Sheng held Jiaojiao in his arms, sighing in his heart, his wife's body was cold and comfortable.

In the dark, Lv Songli was held in Qin Sheng's arms, with a look of despair on her face.

Ice making, ice making, Lv Mingzhi and his disciples must find a way to make ice.

She had heard of saltpeter making ice, but she didn't know how to do it.

But she didn't need to know, she had a small scientific research team under her, just tell them that saltpeter can make ice and saltpeter can be collected in the toilet, that's enough.

Otherwise, she would be hot to death holding a big stove in the summer.

Perhaps because he thought he would leave tomorrow, Qin Sheng was particularly clingy tonight.

Thinking that he was so obedient and obedient, and he would hit wherever he pointed, Lv Songli's heart softened.

Qin Sheng licked her all over like a big dog.

He even pulled her little hand to his place.

The scalding heat and velvety touch made Lv Songli's heat surge. Her skin was even stained with a thin layer of red.

The light of the dim oil lamp flickered. Through the curtain, you can see her moist eyes.

Qin Sheng couldn't help leaning down and kissing her face and lips.

When he wanted to go deeper, Lu Songli blocked his mouth with his hand.

If he continued, it would be a fire accident.

This person, knowing that they couldn't go to the end, still wanted to play with fire!

After being stopped, Qin Sheng propped himself up and looked at her.

Lu Songli: "Goodbye, let's talk, okay?"

Qin Sheng blinked, could he say that he just wanted to kiss her?

Lu Songli reached out, hugged his neck, and kissed him, "Be good, be obedient."

Qin Sheng lowered his eyes, looked at her, and replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

Qin Sheng knew that she didn't like sticky things on her body. Thinking of the kiss he had just given, he felt a little guilty for some reason, "Wait for me."

He got up, put on a pair of trousers, put on a coat, and went out.

He quietly walked out of the room, went to the yard to get a basin of water, and even went to the kitchen to scoop two buckets of hot water into warm water and brought it back to the room.

After the two of them washed themselves briefly, they held hands and lay side by side on the couch.

The young couple talked about going to the south.

"This trip to the South will be led by Mr. Xue, and we will come back after we finish our business. Protect Mr. Xue, and most importantly, protect yourself."

"Okay."

"Take this brocade bag. If you accidentally meet Xie Zhan, and he keeps making things difficult for you or threatening you, don't be afraid. Just open the brocade bag. There are ways to deal with him."

Lv Songli took precautions against Qin Sheng and Xue Xu going to the South, and they might come into direct contact with Xie Zhan.

Qin Sheng nodded obediently, and thinking that she might not see it, he said, "I know."

Lv Songli and him faced each other and whispered, "You must come back safely."

"Don't worry, Lili."

Chang'an

The Minister of Finance Wu Chunyu has had a hard time recently, but he knows that the emperor should be more upset.

Recently, the major camps in the court have been much quieter, for fear that a commotion would anger the emperor.

Because he is the Minister of Finance, the emperor has been angry with him several times recently. But he has no choice. The treasury has no money, and he can't make money.

He didn't dare to blame the emperor, he could only blame those good-for-nothings in the state governors and county governors in the south! What else could they do besides asking the court for money?

But even if he was scolded, he didn't worry about his official hat. Who made him an old minister in the emperor's palace, with the merit of following the emperor, and loyal to the emperor? Although his ability was not so outstanding, he could still manage the emperor's purse.

Song Mo was really upset at this time. The problem of the south was still unresolved, and he couldn't pretend not to know.

The flood in the south involved too many people. There was a small group of people in turmoil before, but he quickly sent troops to suppress it. But he knew that if the problem in the south was not solved, it would definitely lead to greater unrest.

And the key to solving the problem in the south is money.

Song Mo never knew that managing a country was so expensive.

It was not a small amount of money to rescue and resettle the affected people, and to distribute food to them for disaster relief. And because of the flood in the south, this crop of grain was destined to be poor. It was also difficult to collect taxes this year.

Song Mo felt a headache when he thought of these questions.

Zhang Xian whispered to him.

Just then, Zuo Anmin came and said that he had something important to report. After that, he kept looking at Zhang Xian.

Zhang Xian looked at the sky, the ground, and his toes, but he didn't look at him.

"What's the matter?" Song Mo was upset. Zuo Anmin said that he had something important to report, but he didn't say anything. He was just hanging his appetite.

Zuo Anmin was sad, so he could only not target Zhang Xian, and said seriously, "Your Majesty, do you still remember Xie Zhan?"

Zhang Xian's eyes flickered when he heard it.

And Song Mo was stunned for a moment.

Xie Zhan? Of course he remembered.

He believed Xue Huaimin's words and designed the prince to die in the northern border. He thought that no one knew about it, but he didn't know that all this was seen by the late emperor.

It was Xie Zhan's appearance, reminder, and advice that allowed him to respond appropriately under the questioning of the late emperor. It was the late emperor who tolerated his ascension to the throne despite his strong dissatisfaction with him.

What Song Mo remembers most is what Xie Zhan said to him.

He said that for the late emperor, his son's cruel methods were not terrible, what he hated most was his son's stupidity! The heir must be smart, courageous, and decisive, and all other shortcomings can be ignored.

It can be said that there are two major contributors to his acquisition of the throne, Xue Huaimin and Xie Zhan. Without Xue Huaimin, he would have no chance. Without Xie Zhan, he would definitely have refused to admit it when facing the late Emperor's questioning. With the late Emperor's madness when he died, he would definitely not have a good end.

Compared with Xue Zhan, Xue Huaimin is still better than Xie Zhan.

If it hadn't been for what happened later, Xie Zhan would probably be his humerus minister by now.

What did Zuo Anmin mean when he mentioned Xie Zhan at this time?

"I remember Xie Zhan. He and his family seem to have been exiled to Lingnan?" Song Mo said solemnly, "Zuo Aiqing, why did you mention him?"

"Your Majesty, it's like this. A gold mine was discovered on Zhuya Island in the South!"

Song Mo:! ! !

"Really?" He immediately thought of something, "Did Xie Zhan discover it?"

"Your Majesty, please tell me in detail."

"Zuo Aiqing, please speak."

So in Zuo Anmin's mouth, he talked about the fact that after Xie Zhan and his family were exiled to Lingnan, Xie Zhan was spotted by the Chen family, one of the six aristocratic families in the South, because of his talent, and his relatives were used to force him to serve the Chen family.

Song Mo was not surprised, nor did he think this was false. After all, he had experienced Xie Zhan's ability.

"The place where the gold mine was discovered is Xiao Zhuya Island, the easternmost part of Zhuya Island. This land originally belonged to the Chen family, and the head of the Chen family handed it over to Xie Zhan for management. A few days ago, Zhu Ya, one of the six aristocratic families in the South, However, Zhu Congwen, the legitimate son of the family, used his power to intimidate Xie Zhan and bought Xiao Zhuya Island from him for 200,000 taels. "

"The Xiaozhuya Island was originally worth only 100,000 taels. In order to force the other party to retreat, Xie Zhan offered a price of 200,000 taels. However, the other party still bought Xiaozhuya Island at such a high premium. At that time, Xie Zhan Zhan felt something was wrong, and after the transaction was completed, he sent someone to secretly pay attention to the activities on Xiaozhuya Island, and then discovered that the Zhu family was secretly mining gold! "

Snap! Song Mo slapped the table, "That's unreasonable!"

These family members are just restless! No wonder he is so poor as an emperor and the court is so poor. With such a moth around, how can he not be poor? !

"Come here, let me investigate! Once it is found that Zhu Jia's private gold mining is true, he will be severely punished!"

Zhang Xian shook his head secretly and said, "Tsk, the Zhu family is about to be confiscated and exterminated." The emperor is so short of money that he is red-eyed. The Zhu family has also fallen into the emperor's hands. It's a shame that he can be soft.

"Your Majesty, in the letter Xie Zhan, in addition to reporting Zhu's private gold mining, also said that he is willing to help the Emperor solve all problems caused by the disaster in the South. Please trust him and agree to him. He is willing to immediately Military Order."

Zhang Xian: Oh wow, this is a very loud tone.

Song Mo raised his eyebrows. Xie Zhan meant to solve the Southland problem for him without using the newly discovered gold mine.

After all, if the gold mines of Xiaozhuya Island are to be used, who can't solve the problem of Nandi? There is no need for Xie Zhan to make any military declaration.

"I'm sure. Since he has issued a military order, if he can't do it, he knows my temper." He wants to see how Xie Zhan solves the problem in the South! If Xie Zhan can really solve it, then he will make a gold mine in vain and make a profit.

Zuo Anmin understood that Xie Zhan's report was meritorious, and the emperor temporarily exposed the fact that the Xie family had attached themselves to the Chen family and did not follow the rules after they arrived in the South. Now the emperor gives him a chance to see if he can really solve the problem in the Southland. If you solve it, there will be rewards. If you can't solve it, just wait and see.
