Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

Chapter 243 There is a way

"Let's all be excused." The emperor walked past the crowd.

At this time, the little queen also stood up, and sat down a seat by herself, giving up the seat she was originally sitting on.

The little emperor's tone was very affectionate: "I just finished approving the memorial, and I just want to see if there is anything to eat at my mother's place."

"You." The queen mother shook her head with a smile, but she was also afraid that her son would be hungry, so she asked for some snacks, "It's almost time for lunch now, the emperor should make some cushions first."

Seeing the family of three enjoying themselves happily, Mrs. Zhao asked with great winking to step back.

The queen mother didn't ask too much, after all, the son was the most important thing.

The two left the palace soon.

Tang Luoyu breathed a sigh of relief when he got into his carriage.

"Are you scared?" Mrs. Zhao looked at her with a smile, "Aren't you very courageous?"

"Sister, stop laughing at me," Tang Luoyu patted himself on the chest, "I always feel that the empress dowager's attitude is a bit strange."

Mrs. Zhao sighed: "Yes, she has always been like this, self-willed and conceited. Now that her status is noble, she won't directly embarrass others, but she can't change the arrogance in her bones."

Tang Luoyu looked at Mrs. Zhao suspiciously: "Senior sister knew the Queen Mother before?"

It was only later that I realized that the queen mother seemed to be about the same age as Mrs. Zhao, so there seemed to be no problem with the two getting to know each other.

Mrs. Zhao nodded, with nostalgia and helplessness on her face: "She used to study with my mother at my house."

Although Guochao does not prohibit women from reading and writing, there is a difference between men and women after all. There are very few female gentlemen who can read and write, let alone someone as amazing and talented as the teacher's wife.

But doesn't that mean that Mrs. Zhao in front of her used to be close friends with the Queen Mother?
"Don't think too much." Mrs. Zhao knew that she must have made up a lot of things in her head, so she explained, "She just learned from my mother for a while before entering the palace, and it took about three months before entering the palace. .”

Tang Luoyu's expression was slightly disappointed, as if he wanted to know gossip but was not satisfied.

Mrs. Zhao reached out and tapped her on the head.

"You little girl, don't you know what to ask and what not to ask?"

Tang Luoyu stuck out his tongue at her.

Since the two of them came here in the Tang family's carriage, Tang Luoyu sent Mrs. Zhao home first, and then turned back by herself.

On the way back, he ran into Mrs. Zhang, but he didn't stop her because he saw her hurrying.

the other side.

After Tang Luoyu and Madam Zhao left, the Prince Regent also came to the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Brother, will you stay for dinner today?" The queen mother was obviously very happy to see her brother.

The regent frowned slightly: "If you go back to the empress dowager, your majesty will keep your ministers for dinner."

Hearing the regent's self-proclaimed name, the queen mother was obviously dissatisfied, but she didn't dare to say it directly, so she could only curl her lips slightly.

The queen who was sitting on the side didn't seem to hear anything halfway, and looked at the tea in the teacup in her hand.

"By the way," the little emperor obviously didn't take the Regent's refusal to heart, so he said, "What do you think of the cement Xue Qing developed a few days ago?"

"It's really a good thing." Even the regent had to admit that the cement made by Xue Lince did have a great effect, "It's just that we need to try again."

"Uncle is worrying too much. I think this thing is very wonderful, and it should be promoted as soon as possible to benefit the people." The little emperor smiled, "Why don't we arrange for the dam to be built before the autumn floods can also be used."

The regent was horrified when he heard this: "Your Majesty, think twice. When the former minister submitted a statement and used troops against the north, the household department came out to cry for poverty. The treasury was empty. How could there be so much money to build dams?"

Seeing that the little emperor didn't speak, the regent hurriedly continued: "It's not that I don't think it's important to build the dam, it's just that the autumn harvest is coming soon, so it's better to wait for the weather to be colder and build it during the slack season, so as to recruit peasants."

"Uncle, if we don't build dams before the autumn flood, if the Yellow River bursts, how many Li people will suffer from floods?" The little emperor was naturally unwilling, and argued hard.

"Okay, it's time for dinner. If there is anything, you can go to the Imperial Study Room after the meal is finished." The queen mother saw that the two were about to quarrel, so she stopped it.

Looking at his elder brother, he shook his head imperceptibly.

It's just that the regent didn't notice his sister's small movements.

After lunch, the regent went to the imperial study with the emperor.

Whether there is any money left in the national treasury, you have to ask the Minister of the Transfer Department.

So they sent someone to call Jingshan and Hubu Shangshu together.

"I deeply feel that the cement made by Xue Qing is a good thing, and I want to build the dam before the autumn flood." The emperor looked at the Secretary of the Household Department, "Can the Household Department support the cost of building the dam now?"

The Minister of the Household Department has some prescriptions.

He understood that the little emperor must want to cultivate, otherwise he would not have asked himself and Jing Xiang to come.

But the regent certainly didn't want to, otherwise he wouldn't be here, staring at him.

The Minister of the Household Department was a little scared by the regent, and he looked at his immediate superior for help, indicating that he couldn't stand it anymore, and you had to take the lead in this matter.

The regent was furious when he saw the look in his eyes.

"Cheng Yuanshou! What are you looking at!" The regent's voice was a little louder, and after realizing that this was the imperial study, he lowered his voice, "Your Majesty is asking you something, what are you looking at the scene for?"

"This," Hubu Shangshu panicked, his voice trembling when he spoke, "this..."

Still can't help but want to look at Jing Shan, but when she sees Jing Shan, she shakes her head indifferently.

He didn't understand what Jing Shan meant, but he suddenly remembered that the regent wanted to use troops against the north, and under Jing Shan's instruction, he cried poorly.

If it is said that there is money to repair the dam now, the regent will definitely turn around and kill him.

After all, it wasn't the first time he had done this.

The Minister of the Household Department could only bite the bullet and say: "The treasury is empty, and I am afraid it will be difficult to support it."

"Ah..." The little emperor sighed, "Then for the common people of Li, I can only use my internal money."

Hearing that the emperor was going to use his small treasury to repair the dam, the regent also realized that the emperor had to stop repairing the dam.

But he didn't want to take the initiative to admit defeat, so he could only stand there with his neck stuck and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, it's not time to use internal money." Jing Shan said at this time, "Actually, I have a plan, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

"What are you buying and selling at this time?" The regent saw Jing Shan and wanted to give him two hammers.

This person is fine and looks at people with a smile like a fox, the more he looks at it, the more annoying he gets.

"Oh? Jing Xiang has a solution? Then tell me." The emperor didn't feel the gaze from his uncle at all.

"It's Yiren who was just appointed by His Majesty."
