Empress work daily

Chapter 260
In life, it is normal to have regrets.That's why there is an old saying that in life, nine out of ten people are unsatisfactory.In his heart, Ji Qiang didn't think such a regret was unacceptable.

Let’s not talk about it, just say that the first emperor, for the sake of the word "love", spent his whole life trapped in love, hatred, anger and ignorance, depressed and unhappy, and died with hatred, is it worth it?
The scariest thing is not this, but that in the end, thousands of people in the world will be buried with her "infatuation".At the beginning, she didn't understand the state of mind of the late emperor, so she couldn't understand it. Today, she knows the taste of love and understands the state of mind of the late emperor, but she can't accept the actions of the late emperor.

Therefore, she solemnly told Shang Xuan: "You really don't have to worry about me. I may not have the ability to make myself happy, but I have the ability to make the people in the world happy. For the king of a country, this is enough .”

Shang Xuan stared at Ji Qiang in a daze, and said nothing for a long time.

He originally came to enlighten his daughter, but in the end, he was enlightened by her instead.

"Your Majesty has such a state of mind, it is indeed a blessing for all the people." Shang Xuan put away the sadness in his heart, took out a topographical map of the girder from his sleeve box, and pointed it to Ji Qiang: "I and Mr. Lan found many opportunities in the land reclamation. ..."

Shang Xuan spent a long period of time describing the different harvest results of crops due to different terrains during the planting process. Based on the principle of the highest quantification, he proposed a planting plan tailored to local conditions.

However, if this plan is to be successfully implemented, it is necessary to solve the evil situation of land mergers in various places.

It has only been more than [-] years since the founding of Daliang, but the situation of land annexation is already quite serious. Ji Qiang also saw this with his own eyes when he went to the south of the Yangtze River.I remember that in Lujiang County, Yangzhou, the Xie family, who were destroyed by Yin Buli and Ban Zhuojia, actually held more than [-] hectares of fertile land, spanning six counties, how shocking it is!
Regarding the annexation of the land, Ji Qiang had already realized it when she was still the crown daughter. After ascending the throne, she was busy seizing power, fighting, and providing disaster relief. By the end of this year, she had just breathed a sigh of relief. The chronic disease of more than 20 years cannot be formed in a day, nor can it be eliminated in a day.

A few days ago, the imperial court promulgated a new policy to encourage people to do business and improve the status of merchants, which also intentionally eased this contradiction.

The father and daughter chatted up and down, and they didn't stop until the sky darkened, Linglu revealed, and Princess Jiahe had arrived.Ji Qiang looked out and saw that it was so late, so he stayed with Shang Yao for dinner.

Shang Xuan refused with a smile, bluntly saying that he would not go back again, in the Hall of Mercy, his elder brother should be in a hurry, so Ji Qiang let him go, and personally sent him to the door.

Ye Jiahe hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Shang Xuan deliberately stopped, looked at him for a moment, and sighed in his heart, Haojing will have another pair of sympathetic friends.

But no matter who it is, it is not his Yaoyao.

……

It was Ye Jiahe's first meal with the monarch, and he had done enough psychological homework before coming, but the moment the dinner started, everything collapsed.Eating at the same table with the monarch, she is probably the first among all the women in the world.

Ji Qiang and his father discussed land and farming matters for more than two hours. He was so hungry and couldn't care about Ye Jiahe who was at a loss what to do. She tried to persuade her twice, but she didn't succeed in slowing down her eating speed.

Ye Jiahe was dumbfounded, never thought that His Majesty would look like this when eating in private.

And looking at the reactions of the Four King Kong, it seems that they have long been used to it.

Lvyi didn't persuade her any more, she was busy serving dishes and serving porridge, serving them attentively.

After a while, she smiled and said to Ye Jiahe: "Your Majesty, just eat your own food. Your Majesty looks like this when he's hungry."

In this regard, Ji Qiang, who covered his entire face with a big bowl, just glanced left and right, and continued to eat.

Ye Jiahe's mood instantly relaxed a lot.

After a dinner, the monarch and his ministers ate very happily. After the meal, Ji Qiang went straight to the topic.

"Today Song Guogong and his wife came to me and wanted me to be a matchmaker." Looking at Ye Jiahe who was suddenly ashamed, Ji Qiang paused before saying, "I don't know what Princess Jiahe thinks, what about Song Shangshu?"

Seeing Ye Jiahe's silence, Ji Qiang said again: "Although the fate of marriage depends on the fate of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but the relationship is a happy life, and you have to be happy. Therefore, before I contact the King of Ji, I have to ask the county the will of the Lord."

"For things like this... Your Majesty and Father are the ones to decide. Jiahe has no objection."

"It's not right, I still want to listen to the princess's wishes."

Ye Jiahe was docile and well-behaved like a cat, embarrassed and shy, and said after a while: "Master Song, he is very good."

Ji Qiang was overjoyed, "It's so good, I'm going to write to the King of Ji and ask him and the princess what he thinks."

Regarding Ye Jiahe's marriage, Ji Qiang gave the Ye family enough face. Originally, she could ignore everything and marry them directly.

Because of this, Ye Jiahe was extremely moved. For the first time, he truly felt that His Majesty did not regard her as a so-called "hostage" at all.

The distance is far away, even if you use the expedited service, you will go back and forth once, and it will be the Shangyuan Festival when Ji Qiang receives the thank you letter from the King of Ji.

Considering that Song Gantang is too old and has not yet married at the age of 28, if this situation were placed in the homes of ordinary people in the previous dynasty, he would have to pay five times the tax.

Therefore, the Duke of Song's mansion was in a hurry and refused to wait another half a year no matter what. After much deliberation, Ji Qiang decided to put their marriage in March in Yangchun.

For this, Song Guogong and his wife brought their son into the palace and thanked Ji Qiang more than ever.

Their family is happy, but Ye Jiahe is very worried. The wedding is less than three months away, but she is far away in Haojing, and she is still working as a riding and archery teacher in Chongming Hall. How can she prepare for marriage in such a short time?

Ji Li suggested that Ye Jiahe should leave the pavilion at the Princess Mansion of Yan State, and at the same time, ask the Prince Ji and his wife to come to Beijing ahead of time with their dowry and also live in the Princess Mansion.In order to rectify her name, Ji Li recognized Ye Jiahe as her goddaughter. In this way, Princess Yan's mansion became half of her natal family.

When King Ji received the letter, he thanked Princess Yan more than ever. When King Ji's family set off from Jizhou to Haojing with the dowry they had prepared for Ye Jiahe, it was already February.

The tender grass quietly broke through the ground, the old trees sprouted new buds, and the weather gradually warmed up.

There is still more than a month before the Wanshou Festival. The palace has just cleaned up the smell of last year, and it has started to renovate and repair everywhere to welcome the Wanshou Festival.

No matter the ministers or the sub-fathers, they all want to celebrate Ji Qiang's birthday grandly.After all, before the end of last year, and the imperial court was no longer that stretched, even the iron rooster Tang Chongjian spoke boldly. This year's Longevity Day, the Ministry of Households will spend 100 million taels to congratulate His Majesty.

Ji Qiang secretly rolled his eyes when he heard this, the Longevity Festival happens every year, but the money is less.

She directly dismissed all the arrangements made by Tang Chongjian and other courtiers. She has her own arrangements for the Longevity Day this year.

When the budget comes out, it is fully calculated, with a cap of 20 taels of silver.

Tang Chongjian clicked his tongue when he saw it.
