Splendid Pastoral Wife

Chapter 167 Mother and Child Love Deeply, Leaving Beijing for Disaster Relief (2)
"Well, what Luo Er said is true. This is really an idea." The emperor lowered his head slightly as if thinking seriously about Yun Luo's words, then raised his head and turned to Wenxi and asked, "Wenxi, I don't know if you have any good ideas?"

"Since Your Majesty has asked this minister, I should also say something. If I don't have enough grain, I might as well collect money from big households in Beijing and other places to buy grain from other countries. I heard that Dahua has a bumper harvest this year. We have always had a strong relationship with Dahua, so buying from them should not be a problem.”

Wenxi is worthy of being a businessman. This point is the key point. Collecting money from wealthy noble families can not only reduce the expenditure of the national treasury, but also prevent other officials from being greedy for ink. The grain purchased in this way also increases the amount of grain stored in the national treasury. .

This method is better than Yunluo's method just now, but both of them have good methods, one is conservative and the other is open, each has its own advantages.

"This method is good, Wen Aiqing's method is even better." The emperor praised Wenxi happily.

"I would like to help your majesty solve problems." Wenxi's method is actually derived from her close contact with Tian Liusu when she was a child, and she figured it out from her past behavior and words. This is called taking from the people and using it for the people. Aren't all the money that the country has been exploited from the people?

After agreeing on a feasible plan, the only thing left to do is to implement it. Who will be sent to implement it is a problem. After everyone unanimously discussed, it was finally decided that Yunluo would go to Longcheng and Luoyi for disaster relief, and Wenxi would come forward to collect money from big families in Beijing. And buy food with Dahuaguo, because these two plans were proposed by them, and it is most appropriate for them to implement them.

Yunluo and Wenxi had expected this before they came, so they had no choice but to obey at this time.

Because he returned to the capital, he decided to go to the disaster relief and went back to the palace to bid farewell to Princess Chang'an. When Princess Chang'an learned of his return, she thought he had brought Tian Liusu and two children back. She hurriedly sent someone to clean the courtyard. Clean up the house and welcome them.

Ever since Princess Chang'an met An An and Le Le, she couldn't let go of her two children anymore. After returning to the palace, she thought about it day and night with joy in her heart. When she said that Yunluo had already descended towards the palace, she went out to greet her in person, but she didn't want to, but she only saw Yunluo alone, not Tian Liusu, mother and son, and she was instantly disappointed and depressed.

"Concubine Mother, why are you standing at the door, be careful of catching a cold." Yun Luo came back in a sedan chair, and as soon as he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, he saw Princess Chang'an and a group of servant girls standing at the gate, looking around expectantly.

"Luo'er, where are the concubine Shi Zi and An An Lele? Why don't you see their mother and son?" Although Princess Chang'an was disappointed, she still asked Yun Luo, hoping he could give her a satisfactory explanation.

"Concubine Mother, Liusu won't be returning to the mansion for the time being." Yunluo didn't know how to tell Princess Chang'an that they had reconciled. Still feel uneasy.

"Why? What is there in the poor mountain valley that she can't miss? When you go back to Beijing, she will follow Haosheng to serve you, but she actually stays there by herself. What does it look like?" Princess Chang'an instantly became unhappy.

"Mother Concubine, she still has something to do there, and she can't leave now. There was a plague in Yangguan Village. Thanks to her proper arrangements, the plague was cured, and the villagers there were saved from being burned to death. She has now been elected by the villagers there. For the village head."

"What? Village head? What kind of village head is she, a woman, going there to show her face? It's really unreasonable." Princess Chang'an felt unbelievable when she heard this. Tian Liusu was a woman, and being the village head was in contact with those villagers all day long. , really dishonored the name of the crown prince.

"Mother and concubine, her being the head of this village is a bit different from others. She is the head of the Qin Family Village who was appointed by the gods, so unlike others, the emperor has long decreed that all matters in the Qin Family Village will be handled by the owner of the Qin Family Village." Make up your own mind, the imperial court must not interfere, if we go to Tianshui Village for business, we must ask His Majesty for the imperial decree."

"Why is it so complicated? Well, I don't understand these things. What about the two children? Why didn't you bring them back? I've been thinking about them day and night since I came back that day, and I don't know when I will see them again."

Princess Chang'an was dissatisfied with Tian Liusu, but she had no choice but to say nothing in front of Yunluo, only mentioning the two children.

"The two of them grew up with Tassel since they were young, and they couldn't leave her for a moment, and because of the emperor's urgent order at that time, the son came back directly before saying goodbye to them."

"Hey, let's go in, but my grandson can't see me. I thought they would come back, and I sent someone to make a lot of delicious food..." Princess Chang'an entered the mansion with Yunluo, while chatting He said, feeling sorry for the sufferings of the two children in the past.

The two returned to the palace, and Yunluo told Princess Chang'an that the emperor was afraid that he would go to the disaster relief, and Princess Chang'an became depressed again in an instant.

"I can't see my grandchildren, but now I can't even see my son. I didn't see you for a few years after I left after the war. Now that you've come back, you're still stuck in that poor mountain ditch all day. I still see you." Not a son." Princess Chang'an complained to Yunluo with deep resentment.

"Mother and concubine, the children are not filial, but soon, when I come back from the disaster relief, I will take their mother and son back to the mansion, and then you can enjoy family happiness." Yunluo was not sure about Tian Liusu, so he had to try his best Comforting Princess Chang'an.

"That's the only way to go." Princess Chang'an nodded in disinterest, and sat down for a while, then Yun Luo got up and bid farewell to Princess Chang'an.

"Luoer..." Princess Chang'an called him reluctantly.

"Concubine Mother..." Yun Luo saw that although Princess Chang'an was well maintained, her face was still as beautiful as jade, dignified and noble, but there were already a few gray hairs on her temples, mixed in with the meticulous black hair, so dazzling , People can't ignore it, my heart suddenly feels sour, and the eye sockets slowly turn red.

For so many years, he and Princess Chang'an depended on each other for life. Regarding the departure of their father and what he did later, the mother and son were sad and disappointed, but they never mentioned this matter tacitly, so as not to be sad, and he was in the absence of his father. After leaving silently, his temperament has changed since then. Since childhood, he has been indifferent, rejected people thousands of miles away, and is not close to the people around him. Afterwards, even Princess Chang'an has gradually become indifferent and alienated, just maintaining her daily routine. He saluted and greeted her, never being too attached to her.

Because he was afraid, he was afraid that Princess Chang'an would suddenly leave him like a father, leaving him alone in this world. With such a premonition, he felt that his concubine mother would probably leave him one day because she was too sad, so although he listened to her, he kept a distance from her, not letting himself be too attached to her, In case such a thing really happened, he couldn't stand the blow.
