After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Although Shu is in the south, it is more humid and colder than Luoyang in winter.

At this moment, there is a shortage of food and clothing in Cangzhou City, and wood is also scarce. In the palace, Su Jingyan and Xiao Yi set an example and did not use much charcoal fire.

Qian Lan had just given birth, so her charcoal fire was indispensable, so she kept putting it in Qian Lan's during these days, so as to be warm and save charcoal fire.

Qian Lan also likes Niannian very much, seeing that Niannian is so smart and sensible at the age of two, she also looks forward to her daughter being as sensible as Niannian in the future.

When Su Jingyan came in, she saw Nian Nian sitting on Qian Lan's bed, looking at her newborn little sister with her.

Seeing that Su Jingyan was inevitably a little jealous, she was not excited to call her mother for a kiss when she saw her every year.

Qian Lan was already able to get out of bed, and when she saw Su Jingyan coming in, she wanted to get out of bed and salute, but was stopped by Su Jingyan, "Quickly avoid this ceremony, it's so cold outside, you should lie down quickly."

Su Jingyan glanced at the child on the side and said, "Xiaoxiao also has jaundice. It's rare to get out of the sun today. I'll let the nanny take Xiaoxiao to the sun. Every year when she was born, she also has jaundice!"

Xiaoxiao is Su Jingyan's nickname for this child. This child loves to laugh since he was born.

"Mother, what is jaundice?" Niannian asked.

Su Jing said: "It's just the yellow patches on my sister's body."

Niannian said: "Hold my sister to bask in the sun!"

Nian Nian made a gesture to hug Xiaoxiao, and the nanny at the side even helped to hug Xiaoxiao, Nian Nian was very happy to go outside to bask in the sun with his little sister.

Inside the room, Qian Lan asked: "Your Majesty, have you heard about my husband? I feel really sorry for bothering you here all this time."

Su Jing said: "Your husband still doesn't know that you have come to Cangzhou City, nor has he ever looked for you. Do you know why?"

Qian Lan shook her head. Her natal family was also a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. She raised Qian Lan in a boudoir since she was a child and was ignorant of the world.

Su Jing said: "Have you ever thought about it, your child's birth is so smooth, there is no difficulty in labor at all, how could the doctor and Mrs. Wen in your family tell you to come to the city to give birth?

Although Qian Lan is kind, she is not stupid, "Is someone deliberately trying to harm me?"

Su Jingyan nodded and said: "The guards in the palace have already found out that your husband's cousin bribed you. Your husband's good cousin is afraid of the bandits you meet on the road, because you are pregnant. The boss will not lay a dead hand on you, and specially bought a group of bandits to kill you twice!"

Qian Lan's eyes widened in disbelief, "Ma'am, is this serious?"

Su Jing said: "There are all personal and material evidences. The stable woman in the Zhuangzi, including your husband's cousin, has been caught by the guards. If you can't bear the wind because of confinement, you can go and ask yourself."

Qian Lan didn't dare to doubt anymore, besides, there was no need for the empress to deliberately frame Wang Yahan.

Qian Lan said: "Thank you, Madam, for finding out this matter for me and saving me. I can never repay this kindness..."

Su Jing said: "It's not that there is no reward, you have also seen that Cangzhou City is now full of purgatory, and there are collapsed houses everywhere.

Many people are nostalgic for their homeland and do not want to leave their hometown. Many Cangzhou people have nowhere to go. If they go to other places, they can only be slaves. Therefore, they will die in Cangzhou.

So now the most important thing for Cangzhou City is to rebuild. All the civil works need money. Rebuilding Cangzhou City requires millions of taels of silver. He is the richest man..."

Qian Lan understood Su Jingyan's meaning and said: "Madam, after I see my husband, I will ask him to donate some silver taels to the court. My husband has always been kind."

Su Jingyan smiled and said, "Just promise."

……

After He Yongdao's accident in Cangzhou, he has been here to help people in disasters and rescue people. It's not that he is as kind-hearted as Qian Lan thought, but Cangzhou City is an important city for him to do business with Nanzhao Kingdom.

His 10 taels of silver and silk are still in Cangzhou Biezhuang, and the rice and grain of Yonghe Liangzhuang are only tens of thousands of silver, which is much better than the profit of silk and spices.

Therefore, the disaster relief food can give Yonghe Company a good reputation, and it can also preserve his 10 taels of silk goods.

When He Yongdao saw the officials who came, he asked him to meet His Majesty. He Yongdao felt a sense of embarrassment in his heart. The merchants were always humble, and he was afraid that the officials and the court would suck blood from them.

Fortunately, Jiangnan is the head of the Chen family. Although the Chen family is domineering in Jiangnan, it is reasonable to have Mr. Chen in charge. He Yongdao has never been deliberately picked on by the government in his business. Business, doing business more and more smoothly.

But this time it was His Majesty who came to look for him, and Cheng Li, the big tree behind him, was probably unreliable.

He Yongdao arrived in the palace, knelt down to salute, and then secretly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Yi. The boy in front of him was 12 years younger than him, a whole round younger, but he was full of imperial aura.

Xiao Yi said: "Please get up."

He Yongdao cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty announced today that the grassroots have an audience, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yi said slowly: "I heard that Yongdao helped the disaster in Cangzhou, and I am very grateful. Yongdao is indeed a great kind person."

He Yongdao heard Xiao Yi's praise, and said repeatedly: "Cangzhou is in trouble, and as a citizen of Datang, He has to help."

Xiao Yi said: "Yongdao is so kind, after I return to Luoyang, I will make you the most virtuous person in the world."

He Yongdao knelt down again and again and said, "The grass people are terrified, the grass people really can't afford this title!"

Xiao Yi smiled and said: "I said that if you can afford it, you can afford it. Now Cangzhou needs to be rebuilt. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry have roughly calculated that rebuilding Cangzhou will require at least 600 million taels of silver. I don't know if Yongdao would like it." Willing to share my worries?"

With beads of sweat on He Yongdao's forehead, he said: "Your Majesty, this minister is in a small business. There is an old man in the family to support, and his wife is pregnant and will give birth in a month. There are old and young and there are young ones here. There are subordinates who are waiting for the salary from the minister, and the minister only has 10 taels of silver in his hand, and the minister is willing to donate all 10 taels of silver to the imperial court to rebuild Cangzhou!"

Su Jingyan came out from behind the screen and said, "He Yongdao, Ming people don't talk dark words, just from the pepper business you have done with Cheng Li, your annual profit has already exceeded 10 taels of silver.

It's best if you agree today, if you don't, don't blame the court to check your account books, do you know that tax evasion and cheating the emperor will be beheaded? "

He Yongdao saw the woman with an unusual appearance in front of him, and also guessed her identity, and said: "Empress, Cao Min's silver is in the goods, how can there be so much silver in the He family?"

"You don't have it, Yonghe Bank does!" Su Jing said, "Six million taels of silver is indeed not a small sum."

He Yongdao thought to himself, 600 million taels is not a small amount, it is half of his net worth.

Su Jing said: "But you may not be unable to take it out."

Xiao Yi walked up to Su Jingyan, and said, "Queen, this is not a small amount of money. Yongdao is so kind. If he has so much money, he will definitely use it to rebuild Cangzhou City."

He Yongdao looked at the two young men in front of him, but he didn't pay attention to them. Although they were the empresses, the empresses couldn't rob them. Chilling.

"Your Majesty, the grass people really don't have these silver taels. The grass people can only take out 20 grains of silver at most." He Yongdao's heart was bleeding.

20 taels of silver is not a small amount of money...

Su Jingyan looked at He Yongdao and said, "That's all, if you donate 20 taels, just donate 20 taels."

He Yongdao breathed a sigh of relief, this can be regarded as a waste of money and disaster relief.

Xiao Yi said: "I already know that Yongdao is kind-hearted. I will reward Yongdao after I return to Luoyang for the donation. The donation is over. Let's talk about the business."

He Yongdao's knees hurt, "Your Majesty, what else is there to do?"

Su Jing said: "I and Your Majesty saved your wife and daughter, how much money do you plan to give to thank us for your kindness?"
