I really didn't want to be emperor

Summer palace.

Inside the Imperial Study Room.

Several officials stood upright, not daring to look at Xia Huang. The reason was simple. They impeached Ye Jun again.

The reason is to drive up prices and disrupt the order of Jinling.

Tell me, is this what people say?

Sweet potatoes are selling well, so Ye Jun is driving up prices.

The people lined up to sell sweet potatoes, saying it was disrupting the order in Jinling.

Can you be reasonable?

Several officials knew that Emperor Xia loved Ye Jun, so they were panicked, for fear of offending Longyan, if they were not careful, they would lose their heads.

Emperor Xia slowly placed a memorial in his hand, and his eyes fell on several officials, "You said that Xiaoyao King asked the Jubao Chamber of Commerce to drive up prices. Do you have any evidence?"

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "As far as I know, the Jubao Chamber of Commerce sells sweet potatoes at very fair prices, and people in the city can buy them."

An official said: "Your Majesty, sweet potatoes are selling well. Many people buy too much at once, and then redistribute them to earn the difference."

"The lower official suspected that all this was instructed by the prince."

Hear the sound.

Emperor Xia didn't get angry. If there is a problem, let's solve the problem, but if we deliberately slander, it would be a felony.

On one side, Gothe's face was as sinking as water, looking at the people in front of him, as if saying, you are really stupid.

Xia Huang said again: "Sweet potatoes have been sold for three days, how many can they sell now?"

An official said: "My Majesty, there are still six to seven thousand catties, but many people have not yet bought it. Now in the entire Jinling city, I don't know how many people are reselling sweet potatoes."

"In addition, the Jubao Chamber of Commerce also said that it would sell watermelons. How could there be ripe fruits in winter? It is just deliberately deceiving the people."

Xia Huangdao: "Who said that there are no melons and fruits in winter. The watermelons sold by Jubao Chamber of Commerce have been eaten by me and the empress dowager. The taste is quite delicious."

Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "What you think is impossible does not mean that others cannot do it."

"With regard to King Xiaoyao's driving up prices and disrupting order, I will send someone to investigate."

Gothe understood, and said: "Three adults, the saint is exhausted, please go back first."

The three bowed and exited the Imperial Study Room.

Emperor Xia solemnly said: "Gothe, make arrangements now, I want to go out of the palace to Xishan."

Gao De said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Nanliang has entered Beijing, your Majesty is not going to meet?"

Xia Huangdao: "Let them wait in the post, I don't have time to see them now."

The Nanliang Mission suddenly entered Beijing, and its intentions were very obvious. Emperor Xia had already guessed what they were doing, so since receiving the news, he did not intend to see them.

Gothe bowed and exited the Imperial Study Room.

..........

Xishan.

The sweet potatoes are digging, and the people are very busy.

As a result, Ye Jun rarely went to the greenhouse, and everything was left to Li Danian.

Now Xishan greenhouses, mines, weapons factories, and glass factories are still operating normally. As for the reconstruction of other houses, a series of building plans have stopped.

The weather is too cold to start work.

So in the past few days, Ye Jun has been busy with the preparation of black powder in the Academy of Sciences. The black powder prepared by the Academy of Sciences is far better than Fusang in terms of quality and stability.

Ye Jun has already started making fireworks with the students of the Academy of Sciences. He taught the craftsmanship and methods of fireworks to the three disciples who make black powder, and let the three of them try to make fireworks.

Every day in the Academy of Sciences, the small life is very fulfilling, and sometimes when talking with the disciples, he is a little bit sleepless.

There is no way, although Ye Jun knows too much, so all the disciples in the Academy of Sciences, no matter what questions they have, come to ask him.

this moment.

Shen Wansan's figure appeared outside the Academy of Sciences, and soon the news reached Ye Jun's ears.

Outside the Academy of Sciences.

Ye Jun's figure appeared, and Shen Wansan hurriedly greeted him, "My lord, the sales of sweet potatoes are so good, they are simply in short supply."

Speaking of this, he was embarrassed, and he was hesitant to speak.

Ye Jundao: "If you have any words, hurry up and say, hesitating is not your style."

Shen Wansan said: "My lord, I was negligent. Now many merchants in Jinling City have started reselling sweet potatoes, and the price has been directly increased a lot."

"So Jingzhaofu, Chengfangying and the three elders of the household department impeached the prince, saying that the prince was driving up prices and disrupting the order of Jinling."

Ye Jun shook his head and said with a hard smile: "There are so many popular people, these are all harmless, and the emperor will definitely not believe it."

After a pause, he fell into thinking, and continued: "The merchant's reselling of sweet potatoes must be severely punished. You quickly return to Jinling and post a post in the name of the Jubao Chamber of Commerce. Anyone who resells sweet potatoes in Jinling City is If you destroy the market environment, you will never be able to buy the products of Jubao Chamber of Commerce if you find it once."

Shen Wansan nodded, "Don't worry, Lord, I will do it now."

Seeing Shen Wansan's leaving back, Ye Jungang wanted to turn around and enter the Academy of Sciences and found that the shadow of Da Ji appeared.

Wearing a white cloak, she walked forward quickly, "My lord, your majesty is here."

Ye Jun raised his eyebrows and murmured to himself: "The father came so quickly."

He moved to Daji's face and said, "I love my concubine, where is my father now?"

Da Ji said, "I have entered the village, and I am walking towards the small courtyard."

Ye Jun took Daji's jade hand, "Go, go back to the courtyard first."

..........

In the small courtyard.

The three daughters of Chen Nian, Qing Xuan Ji, and Qing Qian Chang came out to greet Emperor Xia. The moment he entered the small courtyard, Emperor Xia discovered the existence of Xiao Hua, and his expression changed drastically and was extremely shocked.

"What's the matter with this tiger?"

Chen Nian owed his body and said, "Your Majesty, this tiger is a pet kept by the prince."

Xia Huangdao: "Jun'er, raise tigers, doesn't he know that tigers are ferocious?"

Chen Nian was worried that Emperor Xia was guilty, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the Xishan Mountain is freezing, and this tiger almost starved to death, so he was brought back by the prince to raise it."

Xia Huang's face was as deep as water, and he said, "This kid is really bold."

When the two were talking, Ye Jun led Daji into the small courtyard, bowed and said, "My son, pay respect to my father."

Emperor Xia raised his hand slightly and motioned to Ye Jun to get up, "Jun'er, this tiger..."

Ye Jun smiled and said, "Father, don't worry, Xiao Hua is very docile."

Speaking of this, he noticed the strangeness of Emperor Xia, and continued: "Father, the emperor has a good life in the sky, and the child minister saved Xiao Hua by doing a good deed."

"If Xiaohua doesn't have food, it will attack the people of Xishan. Now it is raised here. It will do more with one stone."

Huang Huang said again: "Why not just kill it."

Ye Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Father, you can't kill. Xiaohua is a beast of auspiciousness. It can bring good luck to Xia Guo. If you kill it, it is equivalent to losing your luck."

Emperor Xia waved his hand and said: "If you want to raise it, you can raise it. Follow me in the house. I have something to discuss with you."

Ye Jun nodded, followed closely, and entered the warm pavilion.
