The emperor had known for a long time that Jiang Jiuniang had entered the palace, and he had many things to ask Lu Baichuan. But when he heard that Lu Baichuan was seriously injured and could not enter the palace for the time being, he thought about asking Jiang Jiuniang for the same question. After all, there was a strong relationship between the two of them. There’s no secret, it’s the same for everyone you ask.

But they were here to see the queen, so it was not good for him to go directly there. He had to wait for the queen to send someone to shout, and then he waited and waited, from morning until the sun was almost setting. Someone is coming.

The emperor did not hesitate, got up and left, fearing that he would be late. Jiang Jiuniang had already gone home.

When the emperor arrived, the food had just begun to be served. The first thing the emperor did when he arrived was to take Xiangxiang and hug him. He liked it very much.

Although he himself has a daughter, his daughter has grown up and can no longer be held in his arms like she was when she was a child. He can only covet other people's products and hold them over for fun.

"Your Majesty, I came to the palace today to tell you something. The matter is far more serious than we thought."

Before using the chopsticks, Jiang Jiuniang took the lead. Opened his mouth.

The emperor was originally teasing Xiangxiang. When he heard this, his expression became serious and said: "You said, I am ready."

" On the surface, the people from the island country came for the legendary treasure, but their intention was still Beiyan. The island country was short of supplies and had been experiencing civil strife recently, so they decided to target our country, Beiyan. At the same time, they had experts around them to help. , Baichuan and Brother Qin were both injured by one person this time. If I hadn't gone there in time, both of them would have died."

"And more importantly, the islanders seem to have achieved With the help of Dongting, if they unite to deal with us, the pressure will be much greater than before."

"The islanders spread rumors that treasures are hidden in the mountains, and they have even been digging graves. I suspect they are not only There may be other conspiracies to find the treasure."

Jiang Jiuniang told everything she knew in one breath. The emperor frowned and the queen's face didn't look good.

After finally solving the trouble in Dongting, why are the islanders causing trouble again? People are really afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. Why don’t the islanders keep an eye on other countries? Isn’t it because of Beiyan in the past few years? It developed and made those people jealous.

At this time, I really don’t know whether it’s good or bad.

The emperor pondered for a long time and said: "I can guess that the island country is coming to invade, but the island country cooperates with Dongting, but I have not received any news, and what is their purpose of digging graves? I don’t know very well, there are too many things that need to be verified. And who is the expert who helped the islanders you mentioned? It’s terrible that he can even injure two of my generals!”

At this time, the emperor had no intention of holding the child.He handed Xiangxiang to the little eunuch to hold, his whole heart was full of thoughts.

Jiang Jiuniang was much more optimistic than him and advised: "Your Majesty, don't be too anxious. In fact, as long as you take precautions, no matter how powerful the opponent is, there won't be serious consequences. Besides, aren't we still here? "

"Your Majesty, you have also trained many talents over the years, and they are much better than before. You must have confidence in yourself."

The Emperor:...

If it were so relaxed, he wouldn't be so anxious.

A lot of money and food were spent on the war with Dongting before. In just a few years, people from the island country invaded again. There will definitely be wars in the future. The national treasury is empty, so we can only get it from the hands of the people. The people who suffer the most from exploitation are the people.

He is a benevolent monarch and cannot bear to let the people suffer so much, but food is an indispensable thing for marching and fighting, so he is so anxious.

He said: "The national treasury is empty, I'm afraid it can't support a war."

He exempted a lot of taxes from natural disasters in the past, and the people have been relieved in recent years. Come on, if taxes are imposed now, then the efforts of the people over the years will be in vain.

"What's this? A lot of corrupt officials' homes have been confiscated before, and there must be a lot of real money and food inside. If not much is confiscated, it means they were eaten by the officials who were sent down. Then Just copy them. In addition, filling your stomach is the most important thing when marching and fighting. Potatoes have high yields and are easy to store. The emperor can let the people plant them in large quantities. My nephew went to Xiteng and came back with many new varieties. My fields have already begun. Planting experiments, if the yield is good, it can be planted in large quantities, and food and clothing is not a problem."

Jiang Jiuniang expressed her opinion. She also planned to take out some grain seeds from the space to mix with the seeds sent back by Lu Xiaoyang. Here, increasing production will not be a problem at all.

As for the costs that need to be spent, start with the corrupt officials first, and then she, who fished out the real gold and silver from the bottom of the sea, also planned to use it on the people. By then, the Lu family would be able to get good benefits. Fame can also win the hearts of the people. No matter how fearful the emperor is, he will not dare to attack the Lu family easily.

If you want to be strong, be as strong as possible. If you are so strong that no one else can move it, then you can truly sit back and relax.

Her words indeed brought a lot of inspiration to the emperor. As long as the output can be increased, other problems can be easily solved.

"Okay, okay, it really depends on you to find a way out. If you don't join the court as an official, it will be a big loss to Beiyan!"

The emperor immediately laughed. Speaking out, the Lu family's business is not just business. No matter what problems they encounter, they can always find a breakthrough by asking Lu Baichuan and his wife.

HeMy dear treasure, Aiqing, why was she so obsessed with lard before that she became suspicious of the Lu family? He really deserves to die!

Jiang Jiuniang laughed loudly and joked: "Forget it, forget it. I will be busy with these things even if I don't become an official in the court. If I really get an official position, then I want to have a good sleep." Sleep has become a luxury."

The emperor couldn't help but roll his eyes, is sleeping in so important?

As an emperor, he has never slept until he woke up naturally in these years. He gets up before dawn every day to go to court to review memorials and deal with various major and minor matters.

Now that he heard what Jiang Jiuniang said, he suddenly felt that it was so sad to be an emperor, and even sleeping in was a luxury.

"Okay, okay, now that everything is said and done, let's eat. The dishes will be cold in a while."

The queen spoke and personally served the emperor and Jiang Jiuniang. , Jiang Jiuniang hurriedly said no, and gave Xiangxiang the specially prepared complementary food before starting to eat her own.

The emperor asked: "How are Baichuan and Qin Jian doing? I heard it is very serious."

"It is indeed very serious. All the blood in Baichuan's body is almost After the release, Brother Qin almost became a fool. Fortunately, I got there in time. Now that I think about it, I'm still scared."

Jiang Jiuniang didn't delay eating when she spoke. She said it just like buying vegetables at the market. It was as simple as that, but the emperor and empress were stunned on the spot.

"It's so serious. No wonder all the people I sent have lost their news. They are probably all killed."

The emperor sighed. It is not easy to train these talents. , it was so damaged.

"I didn't see any corpses all the way down the mountain. Maybe they are still alive, but they were controlled by others and are now working for those people."

"What?"

The emperor stood up instantly, with shock written all over his face, and the bowl in his hand almost fell to the ground.
