The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

"Your Majesty, it's cold outside, please come inside." Li Heifeng just came back from outside and stepped forward to salute.

Li Xiaoyue followed closely, "Your Majesty, may you be blessed and safe."

When Emperor Yan Ping saw his old friend and his daughter, his attention turned away from Qin Yuyao.

He walked over quickly and punched Li Heifeng on the shoulder, "You black bear, you will never come back once you leave."

Li Heifeng smiled innocently, "I can't say that I can't come back just to avoid you!"

"Your Majesty, don't blame him. Hei Feng has been doing fine at the border these years. Don't worry about him."

Looking at Li Heifeng, who has the same temperament as before but looks much older, Emperor Yan Ping can accept his aging.

"I can rest assured that you are in Zhenxiguan." Emperor Yan Ping said in a deep voice, "It is really tiring to manage such a country. Sometimes, I really envy you for being able to be free outside."

Li Heifeng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you are smart and courageous, and have a destiny. You were born to work hard for the country and the people, and save the people from fire and water."

"Heifeng is just a rough guy. He only has this bit of force in his body to repay His Majesty's kindness in knowing him and his deep friendship since childhood."

Emperor Yan Ping smiled, "You are still the same as before, as wise as you are foolish."

"I'm not smart at all." Li Heifeng smiled. So many years of experience have made him a little more stable than when he was young.

Made many good decisions based on instinct.

"Okay, stop being modest." Emperor Yan Ping smiled and looked at Li Xiaoyue behind Li Heifeng, "Is this your ingenious daughter Xiaoyue?"

Li Xiaoyue stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, the civilian daughter Xiaoyue wishes you well."

"I have seen both the spinning wheel and the loom, they are very good." Emperor Yan Ping replied, "Don't be afraid in the future. If you think of any good ideas, just speak them out. I will be your backing."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xiaoyue thanked her and finally began to believe that she had actually met the ancient emperor.

No wonder I often heard that the emperor had the power of a dragon, but now that I have seen it, it is indeed extraordinary.

Even though the other person is smiling, there is still a strong sense of oppression.

Emperor Yan Ping sat down and touched the cotton-padded jacket worn inside. It was a cotton-padded jacket that had been modified by the palace maid. "The cotton-padded jacket made of white folds is very warm. Is this thing high-yield?"

Li Xiaoyue did not dare to be careless and answered modestly: "The yield per mu can reach about [-] kilograms, but planting is more troublesome and requires people to take care of it."

Emperor Yan Ping heard that the output was quite high, "How can one hundred kilograms of white quilts be used to make one hundred cotton-padded jackets? That's not bad at all. Can it be grown in the Central Plains?"

Li Xiaoyue considered it carefully, "Your Majesty, you are right, you can indeed make hundreds of cotton-padded jackets. The cotton firewood can be used to make fires, and the cotton seeds can be squeezed for oil but cannot be eaten, but they can be used for lighting."

"But Xiaoyue doesn't recommend planting it in the Central Plains."

"Why is this?" Emperor Yan Ping was stunned. Could it be that Li Xiaoyue was worried that planting in the Central Plains would prevent her from selling at a good price?
Li Xiaoyue's attitude was respectful and she did not change her inner view because of Emperor Yan Ping's suspicion.

"Your Majesty, the Central Plains is mostly fertile plains, which are used to grow food. It is fundamental for the people to have food to eat."

"The northwest has plenty of sunshine, a lot of wasteland, and a smaller population than the Central Plains, so it's more suitable to grow cotton there."

When Emperor Yan Ping heard this, his eyes showed approval, "Heifeng, your daughter is really extraordinary."

Li Heifeng said proudly, "That means my girl is fine."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary." Li Xiaoyue said modestly, "Food is the most important thing for the people, and having enough food is the first priority. There are many captives in Zhenxi Pass. When the freeze thaws, we can open up wasteland. At that time, I will pay the wages and hire these captives. Open up wasteland to grow cotton." "No need to pay, I ordered the captives to open up wasteland for you." Emperor Yan Ping gave tens of thousands of prisoners to Li Xiaoyue with a wave of his hand.

Li Xiaoyue did not dare to agree, "Your Majesty, these people are under the management of Zhenxiguan. Giving money is actually money to Zhenxiguan. With the money, you can repair the city wall and reward the brave warriors."

"Although His Majesty favors the Li family, our Li family cannot just take advantage of the country. We should also do something within our ability to give back to the country."

Emperor Yan Ping was surprised. He didn't expect that Li Xiaoyue was just a woman and could have such a strong feeling for her family and country.

"Heifeng, your family tradition is very good." Emperor Yan Ping praised Li Heifeng, but he was actually praising Li Xiaoyue.

Li Heifeng smiled and said, "Everything we have is only possible when the country is peaceful and the people are safe. What we border people like most is a strong and peaceful country."

"Even if the Qi Kingdom invades, we will still be able to deal with the Qi Kingdom and defeat them. Your Majesty, take care and God bless you."

Emperor Zhou Ping's eyes were filled with relief, but he was also a little guilty. He was addicted to elixirs and became dull, "But I made a mistake some time ago."

Li Heifeng consoled him, "Who can make mistakes without being a sage? If you know your mistakes, correct them. There is no greater good."

"Your Majesty, Heifeng wants to say something that goes against the rules. Birth, old age, illness and death are all human nature. You are worthy of your parents in heaven and earth, and you are worthy of the common people. You will be a famous king in the world, and your reputation will last forever."

"Choose your successor and continue the great legacy of the Great Yan Dynasty. Your merits are immeasurable."

Zhou Hai shrank his head in fear, lowered his head, and did not dare to speak.

Emperor Yan Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "If others say this, I will doubt his purpose, but Heifeng, you say, I know you are really good for me, and you still treat me as the one who goes down the river to fish and climbs the tree to catch the birds. best friend."

When Li Heifeng heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I don't care about the crimes Heifeng and others have committed."

"Heifeng is very satisfied to see His Majesty when he comes to the capital this time. I don't know when the next meeting will be. Your Majesty, take care and stay in good health. This is a blessing for our people, and it is also what Heifeng wants and wishes."

Emperor Yan Ping looked at Li Heifeng with hazy eyes, "Heifeng..."

Thinking of his previous stupidity, he felt a little guilty and embarrassed when facing his friends.

I will not do it again.

Next, he really should consider the issue of succession.

Li Xiaoyue was beside her, sweating on her forehead as she listened to what her old father said to Emperor Yan Ping.

Dare to say it!

Aren't you afraid that the king will be moody and send them to prison when he is angry?
Si Zhouhai on the side once again saw Li Heifeng's position in Emperor Yan Ping's heart.

Fortunately, Li Heifeng is not in the capital. Otherwise, how could the No.1 person around His Majesty be Zhou Hai?

Emperor Yan Ping trusted Old Man Li even more because of Old Man Li's words.

Had lunch here at noon.

Li Xiaoyue made Lanshan County-style food, and several dishes she made, such as braised pork, braised fish, and sweet and sour pork ribs, are all fresh and delicious dishes.

Qin Yuyao came over to help and asked in a low voice: "Foster mother, your Majesty just stared at me, what did you mean?" (End of Chapter)
