However, to be able to observe this point is considered to be intentional, Emperor Long'an nodded and said lightly: "Of course it will."

Emperor Long'an had nothing to say, Lin Ruhai pondered for a while, and asked Jia Qiang, "Is the Fan family's wealth safe?"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Naturally, the Marquis of Huai'an is cautious. Except for some money and rice needed to defend the city, most of them have been sealed up and heavily guarded."

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly, and asked indifferently: "How much money can be confiscated?"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "It's hard to say exactly, but the total will definitely not be less than 800 million taels, and it is possible to exceed [-] million taels. If all the wealth of the Fan family is sold, there will be more, and it is possible to double it."

Emperor Long'an's face turned dark, these wealthy businessmen are richer than the Tian family!

Lin Ruhai asked again: "What about the food?"

Jia Qiang said: "The Fan family had hoarded a lot of grain before, and they planned to sell it on the grassland to make huge profits. A lot has been transported away, and there are still [-] to [-] shi."

Lin Ruhai nodded, expressing that he knew it well.

Emperor Long'an asked anxiously: "If there is another severe drought this year, will there be enough food and rice for relief?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, and said, "Sure enough, there is a severe drought in several provinces, and the food stock right now is a drop in the bucket."

Jia Qiang said: "The minister will continue to send people to Annan, Siam and other places to buy grain and rice, but this time, the court needs to pay."

Emperor Long'an obviously felt heartache. After glaring at Jia Qiang, he didn't say anything about asking him to take over the bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or to assist Li Shi in running the bank of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Be considerate...

Emperor Long'an just waved his hand and said: "Go to your husband and ask for it, as long as he can get it, I will give it to you!"

Han Bin said with a smile: "It's nothing to give money, as long as you can get grain and rice, it's worth spending more money."

Left and right are ill-gotten gains copied from Fan's family, he doesn't feel sorry for them.

Lin Ruhai also nodded, and said: "If the grain from overseas can come in, it can last through summer, and in autumn, high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes can be harvested. The shortage of grain in the north should be greatly alleviated."

Emperor Long'an felt relieved when he heard the words. Seeing Jia Qiang and Li Xuan staring at Dai Quan, he didn't know what to play tricks on his mind, and shouted: "What are you two still doing here? Go to Fengzao Palace and meet the queen." , I’ve been thinking about it for a few days, but you guys are better off, you’ll be running around after you get back, you bastards who haven’t made any progress!”

Jia Qiang and Li Xuan, who had been bored for a long time, hurriedly exited the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After the two left, Emperor Long'an actually exhaled slowly...

Han Bin laughed and said, "Does the Emperor feel troubled when dealing with this naive child?"

Emperor Long'an sighed: "Too strict will lead to resentment, but a little looser will cause troubles. What Jia Qiang has done is unprecedented, and they all have great achievements. If they are not strict, it will inevitably make her feel arrogant and wanton." The idea of ​​​​walking on the wrong path."

Lin Ruhai bowed and said: "Jia Qiang must be able to feel the emperor's love. Otherwise, with her temper, many things would be vague and lazy. Now that she can take care of so many things, it shows that she is deeply grateful for the emperor's kindness. To die for it."

Emperor Long'an waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about that, as long as he can keep his duty, be loyal and filial, I can always protect him for life. I didn't quite understand why the queen and Li Xuan loved him so much. This time I understand a little better. Although this son is bold and outrageous, he is indeed kind-hearted, and he does not see casualties of soldiers or the bloodshed of the people... It is really rare."

Lin Ruhai smiled, the so-called emperor's mind is nothing more than this.

……

Fengzao Palace, side hall.

Empress Yin looked at Jia Qiang and Li Xuan, who were kneeling in the hall to pay respects, and sized them up. Seeing that the beard and tail had not been damaged, she curled her mouth and teased: "This is not Ningguo, who was crowned by Yan Yong and defeated Khan. Lord? Why is Ning Guogong so free today, come to this palace?"

Apparently, Empress Yin also found out about Jia Qiang and Li Xuan running home after returning to Beijing.

Jia Qiang smiled all over her face, took out a brocade box from her bosom, and said, "Your Majesty, I went to the frontier for a while, the frontier was bitterly cold, and there was nothing good to buy. It just so happened that I burned Boyan Khan's golden tent and got a little thing. I didn’t hand it over to the public treasury, so I wanted to bring it back to honor my mother.”

Empress Yin raised her brows lightly when she heard the words, smiled and slightly raised her snowy chin with the concubine beside her.

After Yin Hou opened it, she saw that it was a gold bead ring, with a gold bead at the head and a ruby ​​at the end.

Compared with the built-in jewelry head, it looks simpler, but the obvious prairie style is also somewhat interesting.

Seeing Yin, Jia Qiang sized it up with a smile, and hurriedly explained: "I got it from a Abba... that is, a Mongolian princess. It is said that it was the beloved item of Mandu Haikedun, the name of the steppe a hundred years ago. This kind of thing , only the empress can have it, after the minister heard the history, he secretly left it, and brought it back as a gift for the empress."

After finishing speaking, she felt chilly to the side, turned her head to look, and saw Li Xuan raised a bowl-sized fist and smashed it down!

……

The two fought for a while, and after being stopped by Empress Yin, Li Xuan began to complain angrily: "Mother, this thief! This thief is a treacherous villain!!"

Seeing that his annoyed face turned red, it was obvious that he was really angry, Empress Yin smiled and said, "Why is the emperor so angry?"

Li Xuan was so angry that he trembled, and said: "I went to the Xuanfu, and I was going to take a stroll after passing the decree. I just wanted to be a little filial to my mother. I hate Jia Qiang. The servant, with a broken face and tears in his eyes, said that he misses his son and his daughter, and the minister had no choice but to return to the capital without stopping, even without eating. Who knows that Wang Ba is hiding this trick! !"

Empress Yin laughed, looking at Jia Qiang, Jia Qiang explained embarrassingly: "The prince didn't tell the minister... Forget it, the minister will give a share for the prince." Then, he took out a longer one from his bosom. handed the brocade box to Li Xuan.

Li Xuan reluctantly accepted it. After grabbing the long brocade box, he reckoned that it should be a pearl hairpin. He smiled apologetically and said to Empress Yin, "Mother, this is my son's wish. This gift has nothing to do with Jia Qiang. It's my servant!"

Empress Yin smiled and asked the concubine Cai to take it over, opened the brocade box and looked at it, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and then she smiled.

Seeing her so happy, Li Xuan also grinned happily, but when he saw the concubine beside Yin Hou and saw what was in the brocade box, he couldn't help but grumble, and he felt something was wrong. After giving Jia Qiang a hard look, he forced a laugh and asked Empress Yin, "Mother, what's in the wooden box?"

Empress Yin glanced at Li Xuan with some pity in her phoenix eyes, then gave Jia Qiang an angry look, and picked up a... goose feather from the brocade box with her slender white fingers.

Crack!

Li Xuanru was struck by lightning, and after being stunned for a while, she slowly turned her head to look at Jia Qiang, her eyes were already full of killing intent!

"My lord, listen to my explanation, this is not an ordinary goose feather, this is a swan feather..."

"It's a good shot, I'm not going to die with you today! Don't run, stop for me!!"

Seeing the two chasing them out, Queen Yin looked at the gold bead ring, then at the swan feather, and laughed "puchi" into a peony flower.

……

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Han Bin and Lin Ruhai had retreated.

Emperor Long'an was listening to Dai Quan's report on some secret matters, when he suddenly heard the howling of ghosts and wolves outside.

He frowned, and said to Dai Quan, "Go outside and see what's going on!"

Dai Quan smiled and said: "It must be the frolic between the Fifth Prince and Ning Guogong."

After finishing speaking, he went out and came back soon, and said with a smile: "Master, Ning Guogong just gave the empress a gift. It is a gold bead ring brought back from Xuan Town. Beloved. Because Ke and the king of the county left in a hurry, and there was no time to prepare for the future, Duke Ning made a share on his behalf. The prince and his wife said that it was light and affectionate as a gift of goose feathers from thousands of miles away. A goose feather, but it is said to be the feather of a prairie swan... Right now, the prince is chasing and killing Ning Guogong, and it is so lively outside."

Emperor Long'an sneered, and was about to curse "you bastard", when he saw the eunuch on duty outside the palace hurried in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Duke Zhao's mansion has just sent Duke Zhao's... legacy."

When Emperor Long'an heard the words, his complexion changed drastically, and his eyes widened!

The eunuch on duty then said: "However, Jiang's family said that the old man is still there, so they folded the legacy before they got confused..."

Emperor Long'an exhaled slowly, cursing inwardly.

Small and small bastards, old and old don't worry.
