Nagato has such a slim waist

The rain last night didn't stop until dawn, and there were still flying snowflakes.

The weather was cold and the road was slippery. The imperial driver decided to rest for another day at Baihe Inn. When the rain stopped and he started on his way, he would stop and delay any more.

After breakfast in the post house, Xiaoman and Ge Yi came back.

"The Baihe government said that the Chen family accidentally caused the fire by burning charcoal for heating, and the whole family died neatly..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Feng Yun.

"The sisters Jin Shuang and Yin Shuang are homeless now. They are really pitiful..."

Feng Yun noticed that they did not follow them, so he asked, "Where have they gone?"

Xiaoman and Ge Yi looked at each other, Xiaoman lowered his head and said, "Without Madam's permission, we didn't dare to bring the person back, so we spent a lot of money to hastily bury their family members, and temporarily put the person in an inn in Baihe. Going forward, I won’t be able to help you much..."

Feng Yun looked at her and then at Ge Guang.

Then he looked at Huan'er, Pei'er and others beside him.

"Okay, madam, wait for me."

puff! The excuse is that I learned it.

Feng Yun looked at him and said, "It's okay to understand the sentiments of the people, but you need to change your clothes."

The rain hadn't stopped yet. Ge Guang went to hitch the car. Xiao Man put on Feng Yun's cloak and was about to go out when Pei Man came back from outside.

Pei Ran remained silent, holding her hand and getting into the car.

The eldest princess lowered her eyes and smiled slightly.

"There's no rush." ​​Feng Yun glanced at her, "I'm also planning to go to Baihe City for a stroll."

"If this continues, what should we do? I'm afraid that the Xijing court will all change their surname to Pei..."

As soon as the little emperor left, she took the things with her back and went to the eldest princess's courtyard, complaining endlessly.

Yuan Shangyi handed over his hand and said, "I'm going to understand the sentiments of the people."

Qian Sanniu held the umbrella for him, but he took long steps and Sanniu followed him huffing and puffing, which still made his shoulders wet.

"The maid will pick you up."

Feng Yun looked at Pei Ran, his lips curled up slightly.

After saying that, she looked worried again.

"Let's go, I'll accompany you."

Dong Bai trotted behind him holding an umbrella and chased him all the way. He saw the emperor being blocked by Lin Nvshi at the entrance of Youhuang Courtyard, and he stopped panting.

She has not forgotten what she does. Whether it is Xijing or Baihe, if she has the opportunity to make a living, she does not want to miss it.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Man was even more happy to be blessed.

Yuan Shangyi was very happy and ran back to change clothes happily.

"Your Majesty wants to go?"

"White River City..."

"Insolent!" The eldest princess put down the teacup heavily and stared at the female historian Lin with a serious face. "Can you, a female historian, say such treasonous words? If you don't take good care of and teach the emperor, you will spend all your time fighting for power. I Look, you are the scourge of Dajin."

Feng Yun saw his stern face and was about to find an excuse when Pei Ran nodded.

Pei Ran asked her, "Where to go?"

"You all want me to take in their sisters?"

Lin Nvshi left him speechless.

Lin Nu Shi gritted her teeth, suddenly lowered her voice, and said in a coquettish tone, "It's not me who said that, Your Highness, you are His Majesty's aunt... Your Majesty, there is no one closer to you in this world. No matter what, you shouldn’t let an outsider take control and let others manipulate you..."

"Nv Shi Lin!" Yuan Shangyi interrupted her, "It was King Yonghuai who asked me to go. King Yonghuai is in the car. He is waiting for me to change my clothes and go together to understand the sentiments of the people."

Everyone lowered their heads and said nothing, but acquiesced.

Before leaving the post house, Yuan Shangyi came over in the rain. Hearing that Feng Yun was going to the city, he didn't dare to make any request in front of Pei Ran, so he looked at Feng Yun eagerly.

"Your Majesty." Feng Yun saluted.

"Your Highness, you have to take more care of His Majesty. If this continues, what should we do?"

They all changed their clothes and went out, but the little emperor was dressed too gorgeously, and he could tell he was noble at a glance.

"Your Majesty, you can't go."

Lin Nvshi's expression changed and she almost fell down.

Feng Yun turned his head in surprise and looked at him without blinking.

Lin Nvshi flatly refused.

"I can't control this. With all my abilities, I can't control your majesty."

"You are His Majesty and the Emperor, how can you..."

Feng Yun said: "In that case, take it over."

Hasn't this eldest princess always been at odds with Pei Ran's group?

The eldest princess stared at her, "Don't let me hear such gossip again, otherwise, even if you are someone close to Queen Mother Duan, I will never let you go. Get down!"

Ms. Lin shuddered, dropped her hands and stepped back, not daring to argue or say a single extra word.

"Here..."

She stepped forward.

The eldest princess lowered her eyes and sighed.
-
It was not so convenient to travel in the sleet and snowy weather. The group took two carriages and drove slowly towards Baihe City.

After arriving in the city, Feng Yun learned that Xiaoman had placed the two sisters Jin Shuang and Yin Shuang in the largest Yuelai Inn.

She couldn't help but look at Xiaoman one more time. This girl is usually very frugal.

It didn't cost much to be with her, so I saved everything one by one. I didn't expect that this move would be quite generous.

Feng Yun did not go with him and asked Xiaoman to pick him up.

Just as Xiao Man responded, Ji You suddenly said: "My subordinates, please go with Xiao Man. I'm afraid there are still some unfinished business. It will be much easier with my help."

Feng Yun looked at her and nodded.

Seeing him following Xiaoman so actively, Zuo Zhong pursed his lips but said nothing.

On the other hand, the unsmiling Pei Man took one look at the strange atmosphere between his two subordinates and said softly to Feng Yun: "You can make plans later, and if it suits you, help them find a wife."

Feng Yun knew that these guards had been with Pei Ran for a long time. Pei Ran didn't say anything, but he had feelings for them.

At this age, it is time for a man to start a family.

This kind of thing should be handled by the mistress of the family...

Although she doesn't want to admit it, she does bear such a heavy responsibility now.

What's more, she also received a salary, and she was the chief historian of his palace?

She bowed her head and said, "I understand."

Pei Ran glanced at her and didn't say anything. He just silently put his palm on the back of her hand and squeezed it.

It's raining today, the market is deserted, and there are few customers in the shops.

Feng Yunyou wandered around for a moment and roughly figured out the price situation in Baihe City.

She found that whether it was rice or cloth, Baihe was much more expensive than Andu.

When I walked to Baihe Heng Street, I saw a shop selling briquettes. From the simple coal stove to the appearance of the briquettes, I knew at a glance that they were from Huaxi.

Feng Yun signaled Ge Guang to park the car on the street and walked over with an umbrella to ask.

"Shopkeeper, how much does a briquette cost?"

It was raining, and a middle-aged man with a beard sat behind the counter and looked up lazily at Feng Yun.

"Ten bucks each, buy ten and get one free."

Before Feng Yun could speak, Ge Guang took a deep breath.

"Isn't this a money grab?"

The price of this store is more than three times higher than that of Huaxi Briquettes Workshop...

Ge Guang felt bad all over and whispered to Feng Yun:

"We worked so hard in the mines to make briquettes and sell them, but we didn't dare to open our mouths like this."

"Isn't this breaking Huaxi's rules?"

When the briquettes left the factory in Huaxi, they were priced at a uniform price, but Feng Yun had no control over how much others would sell them for. However, her original intention of doing this was indeed for private use, so when signing the contract , there is one thing, don’t make huge profits.

But when the thing is in the hands of others, the restrictions of this clause are extremely limited.

Feng Yun also knew this very well, so he was not as excited as Ge Guang and only said:

"If the store sells it so expensively, how can ordinary people afford it?"

The shopkeeper was a little sleepy at first, but after hearing this, he became energetic and looked at Feng Yun from top to bottom.

Today, Feng Yun was dressed plainly, with a curtain hat on his head, which slightly covered his too beautiful face...

Of course, the shopkeeper couldn't recognize her, but seeing that she was accompanied by servants, she didn't look like a girl from an ordinary family. He swallowed the ridicule and smiled lightly.

"How can this kind of thing be prepared for ordinary people? Only noble people like my wife can afford it..."

Feng Yun listened to these arguments and said calmly:

"But I heard that this kind of briquettes are sold in Andu County and the price is very cheap."

"Cheap?" The shopkeeper raised his brows, feeling more and more that he might have misjudged Feng Yun...

Rich people don't care about those three melons and two dates.

This person is so fussy that he travels in the rain. Who knows where he came from...

His tone was a bit contemptuous, and he said with a sideways glance: "You are right, it will be much cheaper to buy it in Huaxi, but so what? You must be able to buy it, right?"

When Feng Yun didn't answer, he lazily picked up the tea cup on the cabinet. The old man took a sip on the ground and shook his head.

"Not to mention the loss of manpower and safety on the road from Huaxi to Baihe, let's talk about how in-demand these briquettes have been since the winter. People who have no connections can't buy them even if they want to."

Feng Yun frowned.

He was right about one thing.

After winter, briquettes are indeed in short supply.

Graphite mined in Jieqiu and shipped from Yunchuan is continuously brought in, but it is still not enough to sell.

Chun Yuyan's orders alone can take over half of the year's production. Therefore, they are already working on expanding their capacity. After the spring of next year, the production will be increased...

But the key is this winter.

From the current point of view, it is no worse than last year.

In Feng Yun's memory, in the following years, severe droughts and floods will occur one after another in the summer, but the winter will be extremely cold, with continuous snowstorms and frequent disasters...

This was the reason why she had to make briquettes in the first place.

But obviously, things did not develop according to her ideas...

Baihe is like this, but what about other places?

How many of those briquettes sold can reach the hands of the people?
How many people are willing to spend ten grand to buy a briquette? (End of chapter)
