royal princess

Chapter 107
Guan Chang'an wanted to report, but Xiao Qi stopped him with his hand. Guan Chang'an immediately bowed and stepped aside when he saw it, making everyone in the yard avoid him with winks.

For a moment the courtyard became quiet, Xiao Qi raised his foot and walked over, Si Jin heard the sound of footsteps, she turned her head, and saw Xiao Qi in black and gold embroidered cloud and dragon patterns coming slowly.With the setting sun behind his back, and the setting sun coated him with a layer of gold, Si Jin couldn't help but half-closed his eyes.With sculpted eyebrows and handsome eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, those sharp facial features seemed to be softened a bit by the afterglow, and his heart beat violently for a moment.

Si Jin's eyes lit up immediately, and she trotted over holding the hem of her skirt, pulled his sleeve and asked, "Why are you here at this hour?" Will not give up work.

"It's not what you said, government affairs are endless, and there is only one life." Xiao Qi still remembered that she said he was stupid, but he was pissed off.

Si Jin smirked "hehe", quickly changed the subject, and asked, "Is Princess Yuzhen feeling better?" Did he come directly to Yihexuan, or went to Changle Palace first.If you have been to Changle Palace, then you should not leave.If you didn't go, I'm afraid you will have to go again later.

Xiao Qi looked at Si Jin's big eyes and knew that her narrow eyes had turned back.He held her hand instead and said, "It's already much better, and it will be cured in a few days."

"The princess has the protection of the emperor, and she has great blessings, so she will be healthy and healthy." The noble concubine gave birth to a daughter, and no matter how noble she is in the future, she will be nothing more than a princess. There is no conflict of interest with her in recruiting a son-in-law to marry her.She was naturally happy to say a few nice words, not to mention that no matter how grievances the imperial concubine has with her, children are always right.

Seeing Si Jin's sincere smile, Xiao Qi knew that she was telling the truth.When she told the truth, she was always so happy that even her eyes sparkled.Although she is narrow-minded and jealous, but she has a rare and pure temper, and she has a clear sense of grievances and grievances. It is very rare to be able to do this outside the palace, not to mention outside the palace.

In this harem, there are many murders with borrowed knives, especially for such a child, who would feel more pity for such a child except the biological mother.Just because the imperial concubine invites favor through her daughter, people will hate Yuzhen.

Xiao Qi accompanied Si Jin step by step in circles, Si Jin closed the courtyard door and only wanted to live her own life, which a concubine wouldn't like to mention in front of Xiao Qi.In this way, it was as if deceiving one's ears and stealing one's bell. There were only the two of them in this world, and there were no existences that would make people not get faster.

The days are already very hard, and Si Jin can only seek happiness in the midst of suffering.

After turning around five or six times, Si Jin dragged Xiao Qi back under the pomegranate tree. The scented tea was already cold, so someone brought up hot tea again, and then said: "The emperor asked me about that last time. After thinking about it day and day, I finally came up with a solution, which is not elegant."

The matter of paid relocation mentioned in Su Xingyu's memorabilia was extremely difficult to implement at this time because the household department was crying for poverty.The second article is to change land and open up wasteland to award land is also very feasible, but Xiao Qi thought more deeply, if in the future these five or six out-of-town counties have objective tax revenue, then the Ministry of Households will definitely make sloppy demands Received as treasury.Isn't what he worked so hard to do for nothing to make those bastards cheaper, so in order to stop the mouth of the Ministry of Households, he will never have the face to ask him for the tax of Juehu County, and rob his private treasury into the national treasury. Therefore, we must force the Ministry of Households not only to say that there is no money, but also to ensure that there is no money now, and that we will never worry about the harvest of Juehu County in the future.

The two items mentioned in Su Xingyu's excerpts, Xiao Qi naturally wouldn't announce them to the court now, lest the people in the household department weigh them up and grit their teeth to pay a little bit of money, and want to snatch most of the results, and have to put him I can't die of anger.

Therefore, paid relocation must be implemented, but where the money comes from, this must come up with a perfect method.

Xiao Qi has been thinking about this issue for the past few days, and he has several ideas in his mind, but he has not thought through them to perfection.Thinking about it again, Si Jin knows a lot about it, this little fox has a good way to tell her natal family but avoids him, this time he simply dragged her into the water to see where she hid.

Hearing that Si Jin said that there is a solution, Xiao Qi's eyes really lit up, and he looked at Si Jin's eyes very eagerly, "Tell me, I also have a few ideas, let's be a staff officer." After Jin called himself "me" in front of him, he seldom called himself "Zhen" when they were alone. Although you, me, and me were a little out of place, it made him feel that Si Jin was more affectionate and relaxed than before, so he knew that he would do it by himself. correct.

Si Jin looks like a very well-behaved person, but in his heart he has an unrestrained temperament, and he doesn't know how Su Xingyu taught his daughter such a contradictory temperament.

Si Jin had thought about the matter of relocating her daughter countless times in her mind. Some ideas were for reference, but some ideas were her own, such as the matter of raising money.

"The Hubu Shangshu is an iron cock who can only go in and out. I wish I could let them take all the good things in the world. How can I make them cheaper?" Si Jin really didn't have the slightest liking for the Hubu. It is none other than Wang Xinrui, the Patriarch of the Qiyang Wang Family jointly recommended by several great families. This guy has an upright personality, and he is a little more loyal to the emperor than the other families, but he is more loyal than his predecessor. Bu Shangshu is even more stingy.

It is for this reason that he was recommended by others, and Xiao Qi really wanted to replace him with his own people, but he could not veto the person recommended by such an old minister with one voice, so he was depressed. Ready.Fortunately, although this Wang Xinrui is a bit stingy, his flaws are not hidden, and the victory is that he still has a bit of loyalty to the emperor.It's just that this is too stingy, and it has only been more than a month since he took office, so Xiao Qi was so angry that he almost vomited blood several times.This is really holding the treasury of the Ministry of Households as his family's private treasury and guarding it strictly.

But that's okay, Wang Xinrui doesn't want Xiao Qi to spend the treasury's money randomly, and it's not easy for others to reach out from the treasury.Under the comprehensive examination, although Xiao Qi didn't like Wang Xinrui, he couldn't take advantage of those courtiers, so he just looked at him a bit pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Qi's mentality of guarding the treasury with an iron rooster makes Si Jin really speechless.

For the sake of being an emperor, it is really... pitiful.

Xiao Qi could hear Si Jin defending her, so he said: "Although Wang Xinrui is stingy, he still has a bit of loyalty to the emperor, and he is not only stingy to me. I heard that Xie Ge always asked him to turn around a few days ago. They were all rejected by him sternly. It is really funny that Lao Xie Ge recommended him because of this front foot, and he was miserable on the back foot."

Si Jin could imagine the bewildered expression on Xie Ge's face when he heard the words, probably Xie Ge's heart must be very broken.Lao Zhi tried his best to recommend you, and you just repay me like this?
What about gratitude?
Seeing Si Jin pounding the table and laughing, Xiao Qi stretched out his hand to wrap her hand, "Be careful to beat the painful hand."

Si Jin couldn't stop laughing, looked at Xiao Qi and said, "I think Mr. Xie Ge must be very broken."

Xiao Qi remembered Xie Ge's heartbroken scolding Wang Xinrui in the court hall, so he couldn't help laughing, and said: "Indeed."

The two looked at each other and smiled, the rare tacit understanding seemed to shorten the distance between them all of a sudden.

"Wang Shangshu's name is really suitable for the occasion. The newcomer is unstoppable. Not only Xie Ge has touched the iron plate, but I think Cao Guogong and Wei Guogong will also be able to taste it in the future." Si Jin pursed her lips and smiled straight. "When I was in my boudoir before, I heard my father and brother talk about several great families. Among them, my father once said that although the Xie family in Jinling has selfish desires, they gather wealth privately and keep followers, but they have a sense of proportion and are not willing to go too far. There is also a bit of loyalty. The Wang family of Qiyang is a bit different. From the ancestors, his family has been very "thrifty". Poverty is very well-known in Qiyang. So even though his family is famous for "thriftiness", the world respects it a little more. Wang Shangshu is in charge of the household department, at least he can guard the treasury for His Majesty, not for those snakes and rats. Worrying."

If it wasn't for this, Xiao Qi would not have compromised so easily. Hearing that Si Jin had said something in his heart, he said: "When you were at home, your father often discussed politics in front of you?"

"It's not often, it's just that when I encounter it, it won't make me retreat." Si Jin smiled slightly, unwilling to talk about this topic again, and said: "Since the emperor has a way in mind, why don't we dip our fingers in tea, Write down your and my methods on this stone table."

Xiao Qi knew that Si Jin wanted to change the topic just now, and he didn't force her, so he said, "That's fine, but I don't know whether you and I have a clear understanding of Qingyan."

Si Jin's face turned red, her eyes were wide, she looked shy, and lowered her head to write.

Xiao Qi smiled lightly, lowered his head and dipped in tea, covered it with his left hand, and wrote with his right hand.After finishing writing, the two looked at each other, moved their palms away at the same time, and looked at the words written by each other.

Written by Xiao Qi, Shangyin.

Written by Si Jin, exchange business for silver.

Both of them felt a bit surprised, what Xiao Qi said before was just a joke, never thought that the two of them really wanted to go together.

Si Jin was also quite surprised, she could think of this method because she had a lot of experience from her predecessors in her mind for reference, but Xiao Qi is an out-and-out ancient person, he could think of this, but it was indeed his own wisdom up.

"Sure enough, those who know me speak lightly." Xiao Qi's words filled his heart with somewhat complicated emotions. From his birth to the present, there has never been such a woman who can have the same thoughts as him.It is often said in the book that there is a tacit understanding, but after all, it is a tacit understanding that can only be obtained after getting along for many years.But although he and Si Jin have known each other for more than a year, they are not very familiar with each other.

But just like that, Xiao Qi was really surprised by the sudden appearance of this kind of sympathy.
