The ancestor of the last days exploded after being reborn!

Chapter 102 Back home, more bandits than bandits

In front of the government office.

Xia Jing got off the carriage.

After leaving for a few days, the dilapidated yamen in front of her actually gave her the joy and peace of mind of going home, how strange!

"Mother, let's go in."

Xia Jing glanced at her son complicatedly, and helped the maid's hand to step up the steps in front of the yamen.

Li Chengmu was baffled by this look, he touched his innocent face, wondering what the concubine mother meant?It seems that I did not say anything wrong just now!

Mr. Yan took two steps forward and bowed, "I have seen the princess and the fifth master."

"Mr. Yan, are you standing at the door to welcome us? It seems that this concubine didn't inform the mansion when she came back."

Mr. Yan laughed to hide his guilty conscience. Could he say it was just a coincidence?
When all the people in front of the yamen left, he wanted to enter the yamen, but by chance, he caught a glimpse of the motorcade slowly approaching the street and stood here to greet the princess.

"Princess, you are tired all the way, hurry back to wash up and have a rest, Wei Chen informs the housekeeper to let him prepare lunch."

Facing him looking left and talking about other things, Xia Jing smiled indifferently: "There are a lot of seafood in the carriage, you have someone carry it to the kitchen, and we will have a seafood dinner at noon."

After finishing speaking, he led Li Chengmu and the servant girl into the gate of the mansion.

Mr. Yan looked back at the motorcade parked in front of the yamen, and called the servants in the mansion and the hundred guards who accompanied them into the city to move the supplies in the carriage to the mansion.

There are more than a dozen barrels of seafood, which are kept in wooden barrels filled with seawater, but the freshness is not high in the morning, so they can only be consumed in two meals at noon and dinner today.

When he saw the half-dry and half-wet kelp being unloaded from the two-horse cart, Mr. Yan was well-informed, "This is kombu!"

Ding Dazhuang grinned with big white teeth, and said with a chuckle: "Mr. Yan seems to know the goods. This is kombu, which we harvested at the seaside, but it still needs to be dried."

Mr. Yan nodded, and he looked curiously at the carriages behind him, "Team Ding, what are these carriages in the back?"

When Ding Dazhuang heard the words, the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears, and he waved to the guards guarding the carriage, "Sir, see for yourself, it's all the harvest of our trip."

This time the guards carried the wooden box and did not open it at the gate of the yamen, but directly entered the gate of the yamen.

After arriving in the courtyard, the guards put down the wooden box.

Mr. Yan had a guess in his heart, but he stepped forward to open one of the wooden boxes without belief, "It's silver ingots!"

He looked up at Ding Dazhuang in surprise, "There are all the carriages behind."

Ding Dazhuang glared: "Sir, what are you thinking about? The carriage behind is full of food!"

If the carriage behind was full of silver ingots, they would have sent it out long ago!
Mr. Yan let out a little disappointment, but this box of silver ingots is also good, and he opened another smaller wooden box.

This time he exclaimed, "Gold ingot!"

Ding Dazhuang leaned forward and said with a smile: "It's just a little less, only this small box."

Mr. Yan was ecstatic, and he patted Ding Dazhuang's strong shoulder, "It's very rare to have such gains after going out for a trip, so I'll ask someone to come over and put it in the warehouse!"

Ding Dazhuang was confused, "."

Mr. Yan called four guards from the Qian Palace and asked them to carry the silver and gold ingots to Zeng Yan for storage.

The four guards nodded in response, but they were stopped by Ding Dazhuang just as their hands touched the wooden box.

He turned his head and looked at Mr. Yan viciously, "What does Mr. Yan mean?"

Monk Zhang Er was puzzled by Mr. Yan, "What do you mean?"

"These silver ingots and gold ingots are so small that the princess led the personal guard camp through life and death. Are you planning to snatch them?"

"No, you don't intend to put it in storage when you bring it back?" Mr. Yan finally came to his senses.

"To enter the treasury is also to enter the private treasury of the princess, and it is impossible to enter the treasury of the palace."

Ding Dazhuang was annoyed by the gentleman in front of him. He used to look serious, but he also liked to do this kind of robbery. How is this different from the bandits on the mountain?
It's even more bandit than bandit!
Mr. Yan was still not reconciled, and asked one more question, "Is it your master's intention not to enter the treasury?"

"Of course!" Ding Dazhuang refused to give an inch, protecting the wooden box, "The princess has to support a lot of people, at least a thousand personal guards, but she didn't let the palace take care of her!"

As he said that, in order to prevent Mr. Yan from staring at his silver and gold ingots, he had to show him the way, "If the prince is short of money, you can let his guard battalion go to suppress the bandits. This is a poor country, but the bandits are fat. Gotta drop the oil."

"If you want to get something for nothing, I advise you to die as soon as possible!"

Faced with Ding Dazhuang's warning, Mr. Yan didn't take it seriously, but after hearing what the other party said, his eyes lit up!
Good idea!

They were worrying about money these days, and when they really wanted to sleep, someone sent them pillows.

The last thing to move in was grain.

Ding Dazhuang ignored the excited Mr. Yan, he pointed to the sack and said, "We brought back some of these grains, which were sent to the mansion, and you can dispose of them as you like."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and asked his subordinates to quickly pick up the silver ingot and gold ingot to follow him, so it would be better to send it to the princess as soon as possible for safety.

The news of Xia Jing's return spread to the backyard, and the staff in each room reacted differently.

When the lady heard the servant girl's report, she hurriedly stood up, "Go out for a few days, why don't you let me know in advance when you come back today, so that we have time to prepare, and you all go out with this lady to meet her."

But before she walked out of the courtyard, she heard that Xia Jing had already returned to her small courtyard.

"This madam, this mother concubine, is acting too resolutely!"

The maid asked: "Ma'am, shall we still go?"

The eldest lady thought for a while and then waved her hand, "I think my concubine is tired all the way and wants to take a break, and I don't want everyone to disturb her."

Turning around, he ordered the mother-in-law to go to the kitchen and let the kitchen set up a table, which can be regarded as a cleansing for her.

When the other rooms heard that Xia Jing had returned to the backyard, they remained silent.

The noon banquet was held in the waterside pavilion in the garden, where the water is cool and cool. For Lingnan, where the temperature is relatively hot, it is a good place to escape from the summer heat.

When Xia Jing arrived, most of the staff had already arrived. The children were playing in the garden, and the adults were sitting and chatting in the waterside pavilion.

Except for King Qian, everyone in the water pavilion stood up to greet Xia Jing when they saw Xia Jing.

"Get up, my family doesn't need to be so polite."

Xia Jing crossed over the crowd and sat on the main seat, and King Qian snorted coldly next to her. Although the voice was very soft, she still heard it.

The two have always been a bit at odds, but after all, it is a husband and wife relationship, and sometimes the face that should be given is still given.

Xia Jing doesn't care as much as he does.

When the juniors saw Xia Jing sitting down, they sat down again.

After the eldest lady sat down, she carefully looked at Xia Jing's clothes, and said with a smile: "Mother Concubine's clothes look bright and refreshing."

Xia Jing on the main seat was wearing soft smoke that had passed the rain, which was light, breathable and cool, and now she was decorated with light makeup. If she didn't know her real age, she might think she was a newly married bride.

King Qian glanced at the people beside him, seeing that he looked good and was dressed neatly, and remembered something, his brows and eyes sank.

Xia Jing looked over with her voice, the eldest lady, as the head of the house, might have abandoned the light color system that is suitable for summer in order to appear stable, and chose brown tea color instead.

The brown-tan color looks too old in autumn and winter, not to mention the summer when the flowers are red and willows are green, and she always looks like a housewife, so she looks old-fashioned.

Xia Jing sighed in her heart, the eldest husband and wife were old-fashioned, and the other didn't know how to adapt, they were a natural couple.

Now that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are standing together, those who don't know the relationship between the two will really reverse the relationship between the two.

The mother-in-law thought it was the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law thought it was the mother-in-law.

"Boss daughter-in-law, life is short, don't push yourself so hard, a woman should know how to treat herself kindly, and wear more bright clothes while she is young, and dress herself up beautifully. It pleases myself and makes me feel better." Your man is pleasing to the eye, why not do it?"

After hearing this, Li Chengshang tried his best to tighten his face so that no one could see his thoughts.

King Qian is used to being a dude, and has never liked being bound by rules. Hearing Xia Jing's words, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

The Da Furen thinks that the wife of the main room should be stable and dignified, and the dress is the same. If she dresses up in a showy way, it is a trick that cannot be used in the concubine's room.

Although she disagreed in her heart, she didn't dare to refute on the surface, "What the concubine mother said is that the daughter-in-law will pay attention to her clothes in the future."

King Qian didn't want to listen to their chat anymore, so he asked, "Is everyone here?"

At this time, the eldest lady in charge of Zhongfu stood up and replied, "My father, only the third brother who left the house this morning has not arrived. Do you think we should start the banquet first or wait for him?"

Xia Jing asked the eldest lady: "The third child has been managing the general affairs outside the mansion, so it goes without saying that it's hard work. Have you sent someone to notify him?"

Da Furen: "My daughter-in-law has sent a servant to notify you."

Xia Jing nodded directly: "The youngest has worked so hard for the palace under the scorching sun, it's okay for us to sit in the waterside pavilion and wait."

Qian Wang just swallowed the words he was about to say, and if he said them again at this time, he would become an inconsiderate father.

The third lady who was sitting in the corner had warm eyes after hearing this, and looked at the scorching sun outside, feeling really sorry for her man.

Fortunately, Li Chengli didn't keep everyone waiting long, and rushed back from the outside in a sweltering heat.

"It's the son's fault to make the father, queen, mother and concubine wait for a long time."

King Qian glanced at Xia Jing who was smiling, and swallowed the reproach, he cleared his throat, "Since you're back, sit down."

Xia Jing ordered: "The third child's family, hurry up and get a wet handkerchief to wipe the third child's sweat."

The third lady seemed to have been prepared for a long time. As soon as she finished speaking, she asked the servant girl to come over with a wet handkerchief.

There were only seven people sitting at the main table, King Qian, Xia Jing and five sons, one table for grandchildren, two tables for daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law.

This time, the concubines of each house in the mansion did not participate, and the number of concubines was a little smaller.

After Li Chengli wiped the sweat off his face, a servant girl served the dishes and waited for the masters to eat.

Most of the seafood is steamed or boiled. Xia Jing tasted that the boiled ones were acceptable, but the steamed ones tasted good.

Li Chengli lowered his head and asked Li Chengmu beside him softly: "Xiao Wu, this time the concubine took you to the beach?"

"Well, third brother, the sea is magnificent, next time I go, I will definitely bring you and fourth brother with me."

Why didn't Li Chengmu think of taking the boss Li Chengshang with him, because Li Chengshang is always serious, and playing with him will never be enough.

As for the second son Li Chengzhan, there is a big difference in age between him and his younger brothers. In modern terms, there is a generation gap.

The corners of Li Chengli's mouth curled up slightly, "Okay."

After the meal, the maids removed the table and replaced it with brewed black tea.

Xia Jing took a sip of black tea that nourished her stomach, squinted her eyes slightly and asked Li Chengli, "Third son, have you straightened out the affairs of the house? What are your plans now?"

Li Chengli was sitting upright, and said: "I went out for a run in the suburbs two days ago. The land in Lingnan is sparsely populated, and many of the good land outside the city are uncultivated and completely deserted. I thought that before the summer harvest, I would First organize a group of people to reclaim wasteland and farmland, and soak the wasteland in water for a period of time, just in time for summer planting."

Xia Jing nodded: "Your plan is very good. You can rush the captives we escorted all the way to let them open up wasteland. If you are afraid that you can't suppress them, you can go to your father and ask his guard camp to watch and detain them."

"Thank you, mother, my son knows."

"Mm." Xia Jing was not afraid of everyone's stares, her expression was still calm.

She asked again: "In the past in Gyeonggi, there were many shops in the mansion, but now there are definitely shops in Lingnan. How is your inspection in the city?"

When this point was mentioned, Li Chengli got a headache, and he really stroked his forehead.

Xia Jing laughed: "If you have anything to say, just say it, if you have difficulties, everyone can find a solution together."

Li Chengli glanced at King Qian cautiously, but hesitated to speak.

King Qian disliked him the most, and he himself was not a good-tempered person.

Impatiently waiting, he directly said rudely: "What are you doing hemming and hawing, kid? Speak straight up, and let the fart go!"

Li Chengli scratched his head, and finally expressed his difficulties: "Lingnan Prefecture is the poorest state capital I have ever seen. The main street runs through four main streets from north to south. The commercial prosperity must not be comparable to that of a county or county in Jingzhou next door. In a county, the storefronts are dilapidated, and my son wonders if there will be business in such a situation?"

How to feed so many people in the whole government without business?
When it came to business, King Qian could only stare blankly, he turned his head to look at Xia Jing.

The others sitting next to him also looked worried when they heard this. If Lingnan can't even do business, how will they get money?

Without money, how long can they live in luxury?

Xia Jing asked him, "Third brother, what's your plan?"

"My son wanted to set up a few shops first and try to open them first. Let's have a look first and then talk. If it doesn't work, we can only send people to other state capitals to do business."

Li Chengli looked a little depressed.

Xia Jing pursed her lips and pondered for a while, then she said, "There should be business in Prince Qian's Mansion in other state capitals, right?"

"Yes." Li Chengli didn't hide it.

"Then continue to open, and the Lingnan store will also open. If the store is too dilapidated, it will be demolished and rebuilt. In short, the store should not lose the prestige of Lingnan."

Li Chengli wanted to say that if that was the case, the mansion would suffer even more, but he glanced at King Qian next to him, and dared not speak further.

The father is now the vassal king of Lingnan, and to lose the prestige of Lingnan is to lose the face of the father.

Of course Xia Jing knew about Li Chengli's concerns, she talked about her plan.

"My plan is similar to yours. I plan to send people to the outskirts of the city to recruit people to open up wasteland. After the summer planting is finished, I will choose a vacant lot in the city to build a commercial street."

How to operate it, Xia Jing has not yet perfected it, so I will elaborate on it later.

"Will the building of a commercial street become prosperous?"

"In the future, Lingnan will gradually improve, and the economy will gradually recover."

After finishing speaking, Xia Jing turned to her daughters-in-law and said, "There are a lot of wastelands in the suburbs, you can also send people to arrange the land reclamation. Most of your dowry shops are located in Gyeonggi. Now that you have come to Lingnan, you should make plans for yourself."

After all, it is not a problem to sit and eat!
