Started to get rich after exile

Chapter 155: Busy, busy, busy

God was kind to me. It didn’t snow too much during the Chinese New Year, so the people in the frontier fortress managed to have a good year.

But before the New Year was over, Ye Juelu and others started to work hard. Shan Zhao's injuries were mostly healed, and the healthy ones were able to fight He Bai and be dragged into the labor force.

The remnants of defeated troops from neighboring countries have been dormant and are a big hidden danger. Ye Juelu ordered General Tuoba and Shan Zhao to go and clean them up together.

Before leaving, Ye Juelu reluctantly hugged Ming Lanying and said, "Wait for me to come back soon."

The two had just been intimate for a few days. It was when the affection could not wait to never separate, but there was a bunch of things to do. Ye Juelu wanted to put his power and distribute his power, but in this case, the emperor would run out of anger and ran over. He paused.

Ming Lanying took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, so she held his face in the corner of her mouth and said, "Okay, we're not going far away. Pay attention to safety, do your job well, and go back early."

Instead of procrastinating, it's better to hurry up and go home early.

Ye Juelu kissed her back hard, and then separated after a while, her voice was low and magnetic, "Okay."

He Bai didn't have the patience to do the trivial matters of the aftermath, but he had to do something. The funeral affairs of the soldiers who died in the battle still needed to be handled by someone. Every day, he took the list of names and led a small group of soldiers to run around in the wind and snow to deliver the money, and personally Come to comfort.

Although this matter can be left to the people below to do it uniformly, in order to show that King Yanbei attaches great importance to the soldiers, He Bai is a female general and is also known to everyone as King Yanbei's sister. She came forward to bring Yanbei with her. In the name of King Bei, the effect is better.

"Sister-in-law, I traveled more than 60 places today. I'm exhausted. I have no strength. I can't move. I'm so hungry, so hungry, so hungry..."

Hebai and Ming Lanying were rolling around on the table with the chestnuts they were holding, muttering plaintively as they rolled. Ming Lanying got a headache from her talking, so she picked up the chestnuts at hand and stuffed them into her mouth.

"What do you want to eat, tell me."

He Bai chewed the sweet and soft chestnuts, "If you want to eat hot and sour noodles, add half a pound of soy sauce beef and two braised eggs!"

The border fortress is in the north and there are more pastas. Ming Lanying is used to eating both northern and southern delicacies and can cook some. After coming here, she has come up with all kinds of pasta. Their dining table is often a hodgepodge of northern and southern delicacies.

Ming Lanying flicked her forehead, "You still want half a pound of soy sauce beef? I can't hold you to death!"

"It's only half a kilogram of soy sauce beef. My sister-in-law and I eat a lot and do a lot, so it's easy to maintain! Besides, I don't eat much, not as much as my brother! I'm tired of the food in the military camp." , I finally finished the battle, please give me comfort about what’s wrong with my stomach!”

Minglan Ying laughed angrily, "You eat a lot of meat and fish every day during the Chinese New Year, you haven't eaten enough yet!"

He Bai started to act coquettishly, "That's not enough~ You still have a lot of delicious food to cook!"

"Why don't you bring a pot of warm wine? You'll be so comfortable with wine, meat and noodles!"

Ming Lanying sneered and raised her hand to pinch her face. Her cheeks were pinched and her mouth was squeezed into a pout. Her heroic eyebrows were a little cute and cute, and her words were unclear.

"I want to, but there's no wine in the house. Where can I get wine..."

During the New Year's Day, the little wine stored in the house was brought out and drank up. Ming Lanying wanted to brew some herself, so she didn't let anyone buy it.

"Would you like wine? If you want some noodles, go ahead and make them."

"Ow!"

Ming Langtao and Meng Huaisu rested for a few days, and also devoted themselves to government affairs, speeding up time to make snow disaster construction and personnel arrangements. The winter in the frontier was long, and it was hard to say whether there would be heavy snowfall in the next few months.

The fetal condition was unstable in the first three months of winter and summer, and I did not dare to wander around easily. Now it has entered the stable middle period. With the various tonics prepared by Mr. Zhao to replenish the body, the fetal condition is now very good, and I am embarrassed to stay in the palace and trouble Ming Lanying. , and Aunt Meng returned to Meng Mansion after the New Year.

Ming Lanying asked Mr. Zhao with a smile, "Is there anything different about the Chinese New Year this year?"

Mr. Zhao laughed and said nothing, but he was very happy in his heart.

"How many more mouths to eat and noisy things will make you happy?"

"This is called lively. It should be lively during the New Year. How wonderful that we can still be together in the new year! In this life, time will become less and less. Instead of wasting time alone, it is better to spend it lively together. , it’s not a waste!”

"Hmph! You're the only one with a lot of nonsense."

Ming Lanying chuckled, "Just keep it in your heart and be happy!"

Ye Juelu went to deal with the territory of neighboring countries again and did not come back for half a month. Ming Lanying was at home studying how to make a lot of money in the new year.

The income from the drug store was not high, and at most it could provide food for the palace. However, the restaurant and Tang Ning's caravan paid a lot of dividends at the end of the year, but they did not reach the amount she was satisfied with.

Ming Langtao had only recovered part of the debt he borrowed, and all of it was used to subsidize the soldiers who died in the war. Part of the funds recovered later would also be used to subsidize them, which meant that half of the money was spent.

All expenses in the palace depended on Ye Juelu's salary and fief collection. Fortunately, she didn't have many masters, so she calculated carefully and it was enough.

But money will not make money in the warehouse, not to mention that after the spring, there will still be a bookstore that is losing money. Ming Lanying is planning to start a small business to earn pocket money to support the bookstore.

When Ming Langtao came to pay off his debt, he heard that she was going to start a business to make money to support the bookstore.

"It's not that the bookstore can't make money, but it has to lose money to get in. If things continue like this, I won't be able to survive this life!"

Ming Langtao looked at her amusedly, "You really don't know anything about government affairs. The Ministry of Household Affairs exempted Shuge School from taxes decades ago. If the procedures are complete, you can still get the place every month." Government subsidies.”

Ming Lanying was stunned, how could this happen?

Who wouldn't be happy to be exempted from tax, not to mention that the future collection of books in the library will have to be collected everywhere, and there are also maintenance fees for the library, so I can save a little bit.

"Cousin~ Isn't this an easy task for an omnipotent prefect like you?"

Ming Lanying's cousin turned eight tones, making Ming Langtao feel uncomfortable all over.

"Okay, okay, I understand! If you have something to do, call your cousin, if nothing happens, tell me to get out. You are so heartless."

Ming Lanying was thick-skinned, pretending not to hear the scolding her for being shameless, and she could still calculate the interest with him with a smile.

Ming Langtao had lunch before leaving.

Ming Lanying took advantage of the weather to be nice, and took Ning'er to inspect the drug stores these two days. After all, so many stores were owned by her, and the people there also had to eat and support their families. As the boss behind the scenes, she had to take responsibility.

If Ning'er is willing, these properties will be his in the future.

"Ning'er, mother-in-law, are you afraid when you see so many people?"

Ning'er shook her head. His mother was so powerful. She was a fairy from the sky who came down to save him and his father. She could do anything she wanted him to do.

He read so many books, learned martial arts and medical skills, just to become as powerful as his father, and then protect his mother well, hold it in the palm of his hand, and be a carefree little fairy.Ning'er smiled sweetly at her, her pink and jade-carved little face getting longer and more beautiful, and the smile in her clear eyes was bright and bright.

"Ning'er knows what mother means. Don't worry, mother. Ning'er knows in her heart that she will never let down mother's expectations. With mother by her side, Ning'er is not afraid of anything!"

Ming Lanying nuzzled her with pity, wondering why her precious son was so smart and adorable!
At the end of two days, all the drug store shopkeepers saw the little boss. Ming Lanying was almost moved by all the compliments, but Ning'er looked calm and calm, even more stable than an adult like her.

Ming Lanying scratched her face. The older Ning'er grows, the more she looks like Ye Juelu.

But he still doesn't have the cold and sharp temperament of Ye Juelu, but is peaceful and gentle. In the past few years, he has developed a graceful and elegant temperament.

Ming Lanying felt strange.

As a close official of the emperor, Ye Juelu held a high position and held great power in frontier fortresses. He showed no emotion or anger, and after he resumed his official position, he exerted great authority on all parties.

I have followed the emperor for more than ten years since I was a child, and I have in my bones the desire for control that a superior would say. I am calm, cautious and fearless.

Ning'er is closer to him, but her personality is more like Ye Juelu's approach, gentle and silent dominance and control.

As a mother, she doesn't seem to have much role as a leader.

Ming Lanying sighed and asked Aunt Cai, "Am I useless? I watched Ning'er grow up slowly, but all I can give him is this little money, which is not as good as what Ye Juelu can teach him. many."

Aunt Cai frowned and said, "My good princess, what nonsense are you talking about! If you are not useful, then the mistresses of everyone in the capital will not be of much use."

"You are a third-grade imperial concubine appointed by the empress, and you have a gold medal bestowed by the emperor. You have kept the palace in good order, supported the war wholeheartedly, and subsidized the soldiers from your own pocket. The people on the frontier do not praise you as much as the prince. Young master, without you, how could the prince have such a stable good reputation now."

"I have lived in the capital for most of my life and have never seen anyone. But I have never seen a better master than you. Your influence on the young master is no less than that of the prince. There is no need to belittle yourself."

Ming Lanying breathed a sigh of relief, "Really? Then I will make more money!"

Ming Lanying was high-spirited, and Grandma Cai followed her attentively to serve her.

Love is mutual, and feelings that are reciprocated will last forever.

Ming Lanying rolled up her sleeves and worked on a money-making plan in the study room, while Ning'er also completed the homework assigned by Ye Juelu in the small study room.

The invited teachers have already left home, and the building next door continues to be built. Ming Lanying's collection of orphan books has already filled two warehouses.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

The heavy snow stopped for more than half a month and returned to the frontier fortress again. In one night, the entire frontier fortress was completely white, like a frozen world.

When Ming Lanying woke up, she was shocked by the ice and snow outside. The wind was so strong that it made people curl up uncontrollably, but the spectacular sight in front of them made people reluctant to look away.

Aunt Cai held an oil-paper umbrella in front of her. Before she could speak, Manager Chang moved over with difficulty on the thick snow.

"Princess, it's not good. The heavy snowfall came suddenly overnight. Many people fell ill. Disasters occurred in nearby towns and villages. They are still within the controllable range. However, one-third of the emergency shelters outside the city have been occupied. The county magistrate is taking Let the government officials rescue him."

Ming Lanying frowned slightly, "Do they have enough manpower? They don't have enough people from the palace to help."

Manager Chang nodded, "It should be enough, but the prefect sent someone to send a message saying that these are all within their control, but there is something that the princess needs to convey to the prince."

Ming Lanying was puzzled. In this situation, what else could Ye Juelu do who was far away in a neighboring country?

Manager Chang took a breath and continued: "The magistrate is afraid that people with ulterior motives may sneak in while the frontier fortress is busy with disasters. Please send an order from the prince to send people to guard the people coming and going at each city gate."

"The prefect has already sent people to notify the villages and towns in other states, but the prince's order is still needed on the border."

Ming Lanying nodded, "I understand, you go ahead and do your work. If there is anything that requires the palace's help, just go."

"Yes."

Manager Chang stepped into the thick snow again and went to the front yard to make arrangements.

Minglan Orioles turned around and went back to the house to write a letter and blew a high-pitched tune in the yard. After a while, a sea turtle appeared in the sky and flew towards Minglan Orioles.

Ming Lanying followed Haidongqing's thick feathers and said, "Xiaosan, go find Ye Juelu. Do you remember the way?"

The mistress rubbed her palm and followed the force of her stretched out arm to flap her wings and fly out.

Ming Lanying exhaled a ball of hot air, "Where's He Bai?"

"Miss Hebai took people to deliver the pension early in the morning."

Heavy snow overnight flooded the entire frontier fortress. He Bai's progress today should not be fast. He also has to rescue people along the way, so he should be very busy.

Ming Lanying gathered her heavy cloak and said, "Let Ning'er stay at home today, and let's go outside and take a look."

Aunt Cai disagreed a little, "Princess, we are busy outside now, why don't we go later?"

Now efforts are being made outside to rescue the victims. The snow is almost up to the men's knees. The snow is reaching the door of the house. Some people are still trapped. People are coming and going in a chaotic manner.

Ming Lanying shook her head. This was the best time to bribe... Oh no, it was a good time to appease people.

"It's okay. Bring more people to maintain order and appease people."

Aunt Cai had no choice but to call some more guards to protect her. Before leaving, Ming Lanying suddenly said something to the eaves.

"Taiyi, two of you will follow me, and the rest will protect Ning'er."

There was a secret guard left by Ye Juelu in the mansion. Aunt Cai knew about it, but she had never seen it before. When Ming Lanying spoke to the eaves, she felt as if a black shadow was passing by the pillar, moving very fast. If she hadn't been paying attention, she wouldn't have noticed it.

Ming Lanying led a group of people out to help, and the people were overjoyed. The county magistrate nervously accompanied him throughout the process, and everyone's hands could not help but speed up.

Seeing that everyone was busy and orderly, Ming Lanying found it hard to stand and watch the excitement, so she rolled up her sleeves and helped the people together.

Princess Yu condescended to take part in the disaster relief in person, soothing the panicked people. Everyone was deeply moved. Finally, a kind-hearted adult was waiting for the frontier fortress.

Ming Lanying was busy giving porridge and steamed buns and noodles to the people. Under the hot air, she didn't feel cold, and she didn't notice a few vicious glances from the crowd.
