Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 601 Conversation in Private Room (1)
On the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, officials and representatives from various cities in northern Longbei gathered in the hall and side halls of the main courtyard of King Yan's Mansion, and it was overcrowded.

He Jingyan's voice was so loud that the officials in both halls could hear it.

"The grain harvest in Longbei this year is huge, but it is far from the amount that the king expected. Next year, potatoes will be planted in sandy land all year round, and soybeans will be planted for one season to ensure that farmers will no longer be short of food and everyone can eat it." full."

"My king negotiated with the princess, starting from the first month of next year, the fief business tax will be reduced by [-]%, and the tax for traveling merchants and hawkers will be exempted."

"At the beginning of next year, Jincheng Academy will enroll the first batch of students. There will be an exam at the end of the year. All the children of feudal officials who pass the exam will be admitted to the academy and will be exempted from all tuition fees."

"In the spring of next year, roads will be built in Longbei. All the roads from the villages to the county will be built. The cost will be paid by the government, and the people will pay for the road repairs by the government."

"Next year Longbei plans to build a medical school in Jincheng, and start accepting medical apprentices and drug apprentices in the year after. The children of fief officials are free to enroll."

He Jingyan announced more than a dozen major events related to agriculture, commerce, education, health, and the army, each of which inspired the officials at the scene, and they were full of longing for the future of Longbei.

On the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, brothers and sisters He Jingyan and Li Jingjing rode to Chang'an on horseback under the protection of [-] soldiers.

With God's help, there was no snow along the way. Although the official road was icy and slippery, it was much better than heavy snow blocking the road.

On the evening of the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, the three of them arrived at the north gate of Chang'an City, and met He Jingxin, He Jiye, and Li Yunfei who had been waiting there for almost an hour.

He Jingyan said loudly: "Ms. Jing is so cold that her body is about to freeze, you take her back to the mansion quickly. I will go to the palace to greet the uncle of the emperor and the aunt of the empress."

According to the court regulations, when the vassal king returned to Chang'an from the fiefdom, he had to submit a report and get the emperor's approval. When he arrived in Chang'an, he had to go to the palace to meet the emperor immediately, and when he left, he had to go to the palace to say goodbye to the emperor.

Li Jingjing was wearing a thick fox fur cloak and a white veil, only revealing a pair of big almond eyes, tired from the cold, her voice was so sleepy that her voice was low.

She used to train with the field army in her previous life. The chief took care of her as a woman, and made a special case for her and two female military doctors, letting them sit in a jeep without feeling too tired.

This time, in order to reach Chang'an earlier, she gave up taking the carriage and insisted on riding a horse for a long distance. The bumps along the way almost broke her bones, and the biting cold wind was about to freeze her into ice.

But being able to see my loved ones one day earlier is worth the hardship.

He Qing's family was waiting in Prince Li's mansion, just so that Li Jingjing and He Jingyan could see their relatives on both sides at the same time.

When Li Jingjing arrived at the main gate of King Li's Mansion, she saw two familiar big stone lions in front of the gate. Qu Shi, Li Laoshi, He Shi, Li Qubing, Di Yurong, Li Yunqing, Qin Wanjing, Li Kun, He Qing, Kong Ye, and He Jingmiao all came out to greet them. , Tears welled up in the eyes of excitement, and he lost his voice: "It's so cold, why did you all come out?"

"My sister Jing!"

"My Jing Niang, you have been very tired all the way."

Qu Shi and He Shi rushed over with tears streaming down their faces, and helped Li Jingjing, who was almost frozen from the cold, to get off the horse.

Now everyone rushed over, including "sister-in-law", "aunt", "daughter" and "sister".

Li Jingjing looked at her relatives who could only be dreamed of in Longbei, and heard their heartfelt cries of concern, tears of excitement and joy could not be stopped.

Li Yunqing and Li Yunxiao hugged each other tightly, the two brothers had only been separated for three months.

Qu called loudly: "Let Xiaoyazi and Jingmeizi go to ginger soup to warm their bodies."

Surrounded by a large group of relatives, Li Jingjing entered the main courtyard. After drinking ginger soup, she was taken by Qu Shi and He Shi to take a bath.

In the evening, Li Jingjing finally saw Li Bing and his little cousin Li Manman, who had just returned from the palace.

Li Bing smiled openly, and said three "good" words to Li Jingjing repeatedly.

Why did Li Jingjing feel that Li Bing was going to plot against her again, so she asked, "Did Grandpa go to the palace to ask His Majesty for money and food for Longbei?"

Li Bing shook his head and said, "You and Jingyan's Longbei's grain output doubled last year including potatoes and soybeans, and the per capita income of the people quadrupled. I am ashamed to ask His Majesty again."

Li Jingjing immediately said: "Hey, look at what you said, no matter what, it seems that I once helped Longkou to ask for things from the imperial court."

Li Bing stepped forward and stroked Li Jingjing's hair, and said angrily, "You're already married, and you're not as old as grandpa."

Li Jingjing raised her eyebrows at Li Bingyang, ignored him, and went to tease Li Manman.

Li Qubing hugged his pink-skinned and beautiful daughter and asked, "Do you think your sister looks like me or your aunt?"

Li Jingjing smiled and said: "Uncle, I think my sister looks more like you." Then said: "My sister is too young, you and your aunt wait until my sister is one year old before going to Longbei. How about it?"

Li Qubing shook his head and said, "No way. I was supposed to go to Longbei in May this year, how can I delay until the next year."

Li Jingjing glanced at Di Yurong, and said, "Auntie, the winter in Longbei is cold and long. My sister is too young. You and uncle will wait another year."

Di Yurong also shook her head, and said, "You said Longbei is cold in winter, but I still think summer there is cooler than Chang'an."

"Speaking of the summer in Longbei, it's so cool that it passed without feeling the heat, so fast that it seems like you've never been here before." Li Jingjing looked around at the crowd and said with a smile: "Chang'an is hot in summer, next year you all will go to Longbei to escape the summer heat."

He changed the subject, and said, "Your uncle insists on going to Jincheng, and your aunt is reluctant to let him go alone."

Li Jingjing joked: "Auntie, most of the women in Jincheng are bold and unrestrained. My uncle is too handsome. You can go and see him in person."

Di Yurong cast a glance at her extremely handsome husband, feeling a little uneasy about him.Fortunately, the Li family's family rules are very strict, and the husband is a smart man, and he is not very courageous, so he will not risk being kicked out of the house to have sex with other women.

Everyone had dinner and talked for half an hour before He Jingyan came back from the palace after dinner, He Yiyang, He Yijue and Mu Siguo also followed.

He Yijue dressed up very beautifully, and started to cry when he saw Li Yunxiao, but he wept with the light makeup on his face.

Li Yunxiao hurriedly coaxed He Yijue softly.

Li Jingjing said in her heart: "A girl looks like someone who pleases herself. It's too early for Jue Niang to put on makeup for Xiao Yazi before she is ten years old."Smiling and waving for them to talk in the side hall.

Mu Siguo deliberately waited for He Jingyan not to pay attention, and rushed forward to hug Li Jingjing to act like a baby, but was blocked by Li Kun who was secretly on the sidelines, he had no time to stop, and almost knocked Li Kun to the ground.

He smiled and said: "Your little cousin was honored as the king of the county, and now he is studying in the palace with the nine princes and the king of Shenjun."
