The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 72
They wanted to leave on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but the new emperor declared their family to enter the capital with an imperial decree. They simply packed their luggage and hurried on the road.

Being able to go to the capital with their father is like winning a lottery for the children. They spend time with their father every day and steal their mother at night without complaining.

Because Cuihua, a pregnant woman, was there, the journey was not too rushed, and it took fifteen days to reach the capital.Thanks to this young and healthy body, and the nourishment of space water, there is no reaction to morning sickness at all, and I arrived in the capital in good health.

After the family washed up at the inn, they reviewed the etiquette taught by the Xuanzhi eunuch, changed into new clothes, and were taken into the palace.

Cuihua was taken into the queen's bedroom, Yuan Qianzong and both were taken away by the emperor's former eunuch.

"My wife has met the empress, empress Jin'an!" Seeing Cuihua's awkward salute, the empress smiled and asked the mother to help her up.

"I heard that you are pregnant, so you don't need to be polite, come and sit here!" The queen didn't have any pretensions, she pulled Cuihua to sit on the chair, and asked the palace servants to put a thick mattress on the chair for her.

"How is your empress?" Cuihua also replied with a smile, sitting on the chair gracefully, as her man said, we can be strong without desires, respect the imperial power, but do not bow our knees.

"If I say that my life is not good, wouldn't I be condemned by God?" She gave Cuihua a reproachful look, and said with a smile, "I've been looking forward to your coming for a long time. Guess what, our oyster sauce shop last year made a lot of money." How much money did you pay?"

"The empress was born, so she has to earn 80 taels, otherwise I would be sorry for all the manpower and material resources we have invested." She will do the problem of making money.

"Look, nanny, I'll just say it. Even if Mrs. Yuan doesn't care, the business must be better than ours! You are so smart, we made more than 100 million taels last year. This is a long-term business, and we did it last year." After less than a year, I will earn more this year!"

Seeing that the queen was all happy for a few taels of silver, Cuihua couldn't help but secretly smiled, this really made a fairy go down to earth.

Seeing Cuihua's undisguised smirk, the queen also rolled her eyes with a smile: "The last time I mortgaged the house in Chengdu Mansion to borrow money, it's really a penny that drove a hero to death, and I will never despise making money again. .”

The two looked at each other and smiled, a court lady came out with a tray, and the queen took out a stack of silver bills on the tray and handed it to Cuihua: "The profit of this oyster sauce workshop, I will give you [-]% of the profit every year, so don't shirk it, otherwise , I'm not happy." It seems that the queen is not used to changing her name, and I will go to it when she is happy.

"Your Majesty, my wife does not shirk, but what do you want my wife to do with so much money? Don't embarrass my wife. We only charge 100 taels of silver for teaching a person to learn a dish. If you come to my mother, I will accept it." You get [-]% profit, how can you let your concubine have face?"

"How does this oyster sauce compare to those dishes? You didn't fool me, so just keep it."

"I really can't take it, or else, empress, you can give it to my wife instead. I don't know where my wife's natal family lives. See if it's convenient to reward my wife with a village near her natal home. My wife is a farmer." Born, like to take care of the land, you reward your concubine with a village with mountains, waters and fields, it doesn’t need to be too big, a hundred acres is enough.”

"This 40 taels of silver, why can't you buy it?" The queen laughed angrily.

"This is a matter of principle. A courtier's wife can't spend your money just because of a condiment skill. She is afraid of holding it, and she is not at ease when spending it." Cuihua sincerely expressed her heart to the queen.

"After the minister's wife has given birth, maybe I can find some more business with you. You have frightened the minister's wife. I really dare not seek your partner in the future!"

"I've never seen you like this, how much money bites your hand!" Cursing, she also took back the bank note, that's all, she found her parents and drew her a house, such an honest person, it is easy to suffer of.

It's really a couple, but Xia Hongdi is more generous than the queen, and he plans to give Mr. Yuan Qian a title.But it wasn't this time, he said: "I will give you a title after you finish repairing the cement workshop on the north side of the Great Yellow River. I don't ask too much from this side, so let's build four workshops."

"My lord, thank you for your kindness, and I will never forget your Majesty's entrustment." Mr. Yuan Qian kowtowed solemnly.

"According to the map, I have searched a lot of topography. There are about five cement workshops in the north of the Great Yellow River. Please see, your majesty. According to the craftsmen trained so far, two of these five can be started at the same time, and all can be repaired in half a year. After it is put into production, within a year, all the official channels will be cleared."

Accompanied by the cement workshop, there is also the time schedule for construction and cement road laying. This simple and clear format made Xia Hongdi feel refreshed: "Your form is not bad, it is clear at a glance."

"Hey, Your Majesty, I'm just a big bastard, but I can only read and write. I want to make the marks eye-catching and easy to understand, so that it can be easily conveyed to subordinates."

"You don't need to be too modest, I think it's very good. Later, you will teach those people, and you will talk nonsense all day long." Xia Hongdi didn't bother to read those vague excerpts, and this simple and clear style was more suitable for him.

Prince Xiayan is also chatting with his two pen pals.

"Which of you is the big head and who is the second head?" The faces of the two are really not much different, and it is difficult for people who are not familiar with them to tell the difference, and the little prince is also very curious.

"Your Highness, guess what?" A cunning child blinked and looked at him.

"That's a guess, you are the second head!" Xia Yan's analysis came from the tone of voice in the two people's letters, obviously the second head is much more lively.

"Wow, as expected of His Royal Highness, you are so smart, you guessed so accurately!" The second head stared at him with wide eyes.

It may be that the reverence for the imperial power has not been well instilled, and the two children did not have much fear when they entered the palace for the first time. They felt that since the prince was their long-standing pen pal, he could be regarded as a familiar stranger.

The two heads danced and danced to tell the little prince about their journey. When they were drinking water and eating snacks, the elder brother Datou supplemented it. What a funny thing.

"Your Highness, I have chosen this for you for a long time." The two heads held a beautiful big conch shell and gave it to the prince: "Put this on your ear, and you will be able to hear the sound of the sea."

The big head nodded: "We found this one in the sea of ​​Shieldfish Island. We chose several, and this one is the most beautiful."

Although they have exchanged gifts several times, the gifts salvaged by friends are another matter. The prince is very happy and feels valued.He felt very relaxed when the Yuan family's children talked to him, and their words were very childlike.

"These shells are for the little princess. We didn't know your sister was a princess before, so we wanted to pick these shells for her to play with. I don't know if they are suitable for the princess?"

Looking at the inside of the box, the crown prince was even happier with the carefully selected and polished shells. Is this what the adults said about the good family?
Mr. Yuan Qian: Huh?Climb up, climb up!
