Princess of the auxiliary country

"It's Zhao De."

After he finished speaking, Queen Shen's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

She knew that since the news about the snow disaster reached the capital, the emperor and many courtiers had been troubled by this matter.

I couldn't think of a good way for a while, Princess Zhaode, but a little girl who is not yet 15 years old, she can actually think of a way to deal with it?

And can the emperor be so satisfied?

"she"

Queen Shen didn't know what to say for a moment.

This news really surprised her.

"Are you surprised? I was also very surprised when I first heard it, but after discussing it with the ministers, I found that this method is excellent, even better than what was used in previous years."

"And the cost is not big. Normally, in such a situation, hundreds of thousands of silver would not be enough. But this time, according to Chen Hua's estimation, if everything goes well, the cost should only be less than [-]."

When he said this, Emperor Zhaowu's face was full of emotion and regret.

Queen Shen was shocked again.

When she saw the regretful look on Emperor Zhaowu's face, she immediately thought of the prince.

What a stupid man, such a good daughter-in-law, instead of holding on tightly, pushes others far away, it is simply stupid.

How can Zhao Yaner compare with her?

Even though Empress Shen would be quite dissatisfied with Zhao Yan'er, she was the future crown princess and her biological daughter-in-law. Since the marriage decree had been issued, even if she was dissatisfied, she would inevitably pay attention to it.

Zhao Yan'er has some talent and fame in the capital, but her achievements are only among the ordinary women in the boudoir.

As a crown princess and the future mother of a country, what does this talent mean?
It still depends on ability, scheming and skill.

Of course, the most important thing is to help the prince, assist the prince, and get something better for the prince.

But what about Zhao Yaner?No matter whether it is ability, scheming or skill, she is still a little behind. From her scheme against Huo Junyao, it can be seen that she has some ideas to make herself invincible.

But such a calculation is too immature. On the surface, it looks like he is invincible, but in fact, who can't see it?

Although he achieved his goal, how many popularity did he ruin?
As for helping the prince, Zhao Yaner didn't do it at all, and even had the opposite effect.

How many hearts did the prince lose due to one calculation, and how many people did the prince's virtue become clear to him?

In her opinion, a woman like this is not qualified to be a concubine for the prince.

However, because of Cao Guogong, she had to hold her nose to recognize the princess, which was already very distressing.

Now that Princess Zhaode is so outstanding, she is even more heartbroken.

Even the prince became even more dissatisfied.

After a while, Emperor Zhaowu spoke again: "I don't want to worry about those troubles anymore."

"I came here today to talk to you about something else."

Queen Shen quickly came to her senses. It was true that the matter of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess should not be dwelled upon. The more she thought about it, the worse it became.

"No, Zhao De had someone deliver some vegetables yesterday?"

"I asked someone to inquire about it. It turns out that Zhaode girl spent dozens of dollars outside the city to build a greenhouse and grow a lot of vegetables."

Hearing this, Queen Shen asked with some confusion, "What is a greenhouse?"

"I don't know for sure, but I heard that there are a lot of vegetables, and there's quite a lot of space."

"She actually has such ability? Can this be popularized? If it can be popularized, wouldn't it mean that people all over the world can also eat vegetables in winter?" "I'm afraid not, she spent dozens of dollars on just a few minutes. How can ordinary people afford money?"

Let alone dozens of coins, if ordinary people can save one or two coins throughout the year, it is already very good.

Many people can't make ends meet even after a year, so don't even think about building greenhouses.

"That's a pity."

Emperor Zhaowu also shook his head, and then said angrily, "That's not what I want to say. What I want to say is that Zhaode actually produced so many vegetables. Isn't it too much to send me some every day?"

"As a result, Ningyang wrote a letter today, scolding me, saying why I, an elder, always want to take advantage of the younger generation, so I just get free money."

"You actually said it was shameless for me to do this."

"Tell me about this Ningyang"

Emperor Zhaowu looked angry and helpless, which made Empress Shen feel a little funny.

She is also aware of Ning Yang's sister-in-law's temper. At the same time, she likes her tightly and has a good heart. It's just her words that are a bit too hurtful, and they are only aimed at His Majesty and those people she doesn't like.

"That's the nature of Ning Yang. She speaks bluntly, but what she says is not unreasonable."

"What? She still makes sense? What's wrong with Wenjun, do you think I'm shameless?"

I originally thought about coming here to find some comfort from my wife, but you said this to me?
Emperor Zhaowu said that he was not comforted, but he was stabbed anyway.

"I don't mean that. I think that as elders we should not take advantage of the younger ones. Zhaode must have put in a lot of effort to be able to grow vegetables in the winter."

"She can send us a portion as soon as the vegetables come out. This is a great gesture. As an elder, how can we keep getting it for nothing?"

"The Imperial Kitchen also goes out every year to find ways to buy some vegetables from the south. It's better to go directly to Zhaode to buy them."

"How does the emperor feel?"

Emperor Zhaowu thought about it and felt that it made some sense. Forget it, who told me to make a lot of money?
"Okay, then Wenjun, just take care of it yourself. Don't treat the little girl badly in terms of price, so as not to say that I, the uncle, took advantage of my niece."

"The concubine saves it."

Queen Shen smiled.

After chatting with Queen Shen for a while, Emperor Zhaowu felt calmer. After sitting for a while, he got up and took Gao Fu back to the imperial study.

As soon as he left, Queen Shen asked the maids around her to summon the father-in-law in charge of the imperial kitchen.

"Miss, I have already inquired clearly. Due to the very bad weather this year, the vegetables from the south have not been delivered yet."

"Many people are looking for ways to buy them. If we send vegetables to the capital, it should be very easy to sell."

Hongxiu was very excited.

"Well, what was the price of vegetables in previous winters?"

"Fifteen cents a catty."

Huo Junyao was shocked when he heard the price. The price was a bit high.

You must know that the average grain price in the Yu Dynasty was one penny per catty for coarse grains, and two cents per catty for fine grains. Even if there was some fluctuation, it would only fluctuate by one or two pence at most.

Of course, this is the normal price of food. If someone deliberately raises it, that is another matter.

The price of food is like this, and vegetables are more than ten times the price of food. This is a bit scary.

However, she also knew that such a price was not for ordinary people, but for those powerful and wealthy households, and such a price was nothing in their eyes.
