Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 552 Jingjing Goes Back Home, Happy to See Her Relatives (1)
He Yiyang just walked into the hall, and when he heard Li Bing's words, his face showed joy, and he leaned into He Jingyan's ear and whispered, "Last year, the commercial tax for the three cities on the Silk Road was 22 taels of silver."

He Jingyan looked at Li Jingjing and saw that the anger on her face was lessened, so he said, "What else?"

Li Bing continued: "From this year onwards, the imperial court's scientific examination will specially increase the number of candidates for your feudal land by six Jinshi."

Li Jingjing said: "24!"

Seeing that his granddaughter was willing to talk to him, Li Bing said with a smile, "Although it is a lion who speaks loudly, this is her character: "The imperial court holds scientific examinations every three years, and there are a total of 150 Jinshi..."

Li Jingjing said again: "24!"

Li Bing asked with a sad face: "Your Majesty, what do you think of this?"

He Dong asked back: "How many names do you think are suitable?"

Li Bing saw that He Dong had pushed the original hot yam to him, he sighed, and stole a glance at He Rong who was "about to move", and said with a very troubled expression: "Twelve. No more."

Li Jingjing raised her eyebrows and said, "Fourteen!"

He Jingyan said loudly: "Jincheng plus the six city mansions make a total of seven buildings. There are two people in each building, exactly fourteen people."

He Rong came over and said with a smile: "Brother, you also add two Jinshi quotas to my fief."

He Qing waved his hand and said, "Fifth brother and my cousin almost don't recognize me as a big brother. Third brother, don't come here to make trouble."

However, He Rong refused to let go of such a good opportunity, stretched out his hand to pull He Qing's sleeve, and said, "Brother, I don't want much, just two."

He Jingyan asked, "Grandpa, what else?"

Li Bing spread his hands and said, "This is already a great favor, are you still not satisfied?"

Li Jingjing shook his head towards He Qing and Kong Ye, and the two immediately said, "My son, we are leaving Chang'an and going back to our hometown. Do you and my daughter go back to my hometown?" "Let's go, our family will go back to our hometown."

He Yiyang said anxiously: "Father, the total amount of money and food allocated to the six cities by the imperial court is 80 taels, and the commercial tax you gave Brother Yan is only 22 taels, which is still short of 58 taels."

He Rong frowned when he heard this, let alone He Qing and his wife.

Kong Ye called out, "What?"

He Qing directly took He Jingyan's arm and walked out, angrily said: "Our family can't do the immoral thing of using the daughter-in-law's dowry money to save face. We don't want the prince, the palace, and the salary."

"We Jingyan married our daughter in, not just for her dowry. We Jingyan don't want to be scolded by people pointing at the spine!" Kong Ye glanced at He Qing very disappointed.

Li Bing stepped forward, stopped He Qing and his son, stared at He Jingyan and said, "To the north of Longdi is the Xiongnu, and to the west is Tubo. Are your Huben troops vegetarian?"

This means that the imperial court acquiesced that the Tiger Ben Army could pretend to be horse bandits to rob the Xiongnu and Tubo in the next ten years.

He Jingyan shook his head and said, "Grandpa, my Tiger Ben Army also needs to be raised with money."

During the non-war period of the imperial court, the army's salary was not much.In the past few years after the end of the Great War in the North, He Jingyan sent the Huben Army to wipe out bandits everywhere, so as to support the army by fighting, and the soldiers had some extra income.

Li Bing reminded: "You won't think of a way to wipe out the Huns, that's a lot of money."

"Mother, let's not go to Jincheng, but go back to Ludi with you, father, younger brothers and sisters." Li Jingjing walked out with Kong Ye on her arm.

While blocking Kong Ye and Li Jingjing, Murong Ying winked at He Dong.

He Dong smiled wryly and shook his head. After looking at Li Bing, he could only say: "The imperial court allocates 28 taels of silver and [-] catties of grain to your husband and wife every year."

He Yiyang quickly winked at He Jingyan to signal that he would accept it quickly.

"One hundred thousand catties of new rice." Li Jingjing's medicine shop in Luoyang only opens every year when the peonies are in bloom and sells medicines to drug dealers from various countries.The annual gap of 30 taels of silver in the fief is acceptable.What's more, she has already prepared secret food crops and fruits for the fiefdom. As long as she manages it well, the shortfall of money will become less and less.

Rice is more expensive than noodles.12 catties of rice can be exchanged for [-] catties of flour.After she thought about it, she handed it over to Murong's family, a big grain merchant in Luoyang.

He Dong waved his hands helplessly and said, "Yes."

He Jingyan knew that the treasury of the Warring States Period that Dingchao fought for more than ten years was empty, and this was already He Dong's greatest ability. Seeing Li Jingjing nodded slightly, he said loudly: "Uncle Emperor, my nephew's fiefdom is big, you can borrow some people from my nephew make."

Princess Niu heard He Wu and He Quan say that He Qing's family turned against He Dong in a hurry, and hurried over, but saw everyone sitting, laughing and having tea, but He Dong's smile was a bit forced.

Murong Ying said with a pleasant face: "Brother Dong, you see that Jing Niang is tired after working all morning, so don't go to the palace and rest in the mansion. How about it?"

He Dong was worried that He Jingyan and Li Jingjing would ask for people and things again after entering the palace, so he immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "I also have that intention."

Everyone had lunch at Prince Qing's Mansion.

Because He Jingqing had woken up and ate a small bowl of noodles, Princess Niu was overjoyed and used an extra half bowl of rice.

The empress left Qing Palace and returned to the palace, and Li Bing also returned to Li's Mansion.

He Jinghai had just undergone an operation, and within three days he was in the intensive care period. Princess Niu, He Jingqing and his wife, He Wu and his wife, and He Quan were all staying in Prince Qing's Mansion.

The story of He Jinghai picking gall bladders spread throughout Chang'an through the mouths of the imperial physicians in less than two hours.

He Jingyan and Li Jingjing were annoyed because their fiefdoms were too large and they were very poor, and rumors spread that they did not enter the palace to recognize their relatives according to the custom.

The next morning before the imperial court, all civil and military officials gathered together to discuss these two matters, and they all said that it was unimaginable for He Jinghai to pick up the courage, and it was unexpected for He Jingyan to win the Jincheng fiefdom.

"I heard that Neptune took the gall and lived for three days before he saved his life. It's just been a day and a night."

"Sea King has no guts. Even if he is alive, his vitality will be severely injured. He may not even be able to ride a horse, let alone a war. For him, life should be worse than death in the days to come."

"A hundred years later, Neptune still has to enter the underworld with a broken body. It's really pitiful."

"Heavenly evil star Li Bing is actually disowned by his six relatives. King Yan is his disciple, and Princess Huguo is his granddaughter. He fell into such a desperate situation as soon as the two got married."

"Princess Huguo may have to sell all her dowry to help King Yan manage the fief."

"The poor Princess Huguo married the royal family, and she had to put in the dowry."

Before the morning court left, a luxurious carriage escorted by twenty guards arrived in front of the main gate of Prince Qing's Mansion.

He Jingrong frowned slightly, and got out of the carriage wearing a lotus-colored Chang'an latest style long skirt, then turned around and picked up a very beautiful child in a lavender top and silver-gray pants.
