Chapter 1963 Child Marriage (4)
"Wow..."
Before he could finish, Qingcheng started crying out of grievance, crying so sadly that her pretty face wrinkled into an ugly bun.
Jin'er panicked and said: "Don't cry, don't cry, as long as you don't cry, I'll give you candy..."
Qingcheng was so aggrieved that she didn't listen to his consolation at all and continued to cry loudly. In order to appease this little girl, he = Jin'er had to bite the bullet and temporarily put down his posture, making faces and acting like a monkey, and finally coaxing her after sweating all over.
The young lady finally calmed down. Jin'er wiped the sweat from her forehead and secretly made up her mind that she would never make this young lady angry again...
In Shouxian Palace
Wanyan Liang handed over a thick stack of banknotes and said, "Queen, thanks to you, I have made a lot of money in the commercial street in Lingbei over the years. Now that the Great Jin is in trouble, I am willing to donate half of my property. I have done my best!"
The couple had already agreed to give more silver to the Great Jin, but when everyone donated money, they did not donate more, fearing that donating too much would attract attention and cause hatred, so they deliberately went to Caiwei to donate money without telling anyone before leaving.
Caiwei was deeply moved when she saw the silver notes of 400,000 to 500,000 taels, and said, "It's rare for you to be so sincere. I thank you two on behalf of the emperor. But it's not easy for you to make money. This silver is too much. How can I accept it from you? Let's treat this silver as a loan from the country. After the natural disaster is over next year and the national strength recovers, we will slowly pay you back."
Wanyan Liang smiled and said, "The queen is too serious. The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of every man. Now that our Jin Dynasty is about to be hit by a disaster, it is reasonable for the prince to do his best. Why should the queen shirk it?"
Chao Yun also smiled and said, "If the queen feels it's difficult to accept our silver, just treat it as our Qingcheng's dowry delivered in advance."
A dowry of 400,000 to 500,000 taels is really a big deal. It seems that Wanyan Liang and his wife have already recognized Jin'er as their son-in-law, otherwise they would not have invested so much.
Caiwei smiled and said, "In that case, I thank his father-in-law and mother-in-law for their generosity on behalf of Jin'er..."
After sending Wanyan Liang and his family away, the palace returned to its former state. Caiwei still took care of the affairs of the harem and took care of the three buns and Nangong Yi's daily life.
But Nangong Yi was unusually busy.
Spring is here, and the people have begun to farm. Corn, sorghum and other crops have also begun to be widely promoted in the south. Because they are new species, everyone is very cautious and even rejects them. If the government had not issued seeds and forced everyone to plant them, they would not have taken risks. For farmers, crops are the most important.
Without food, there is no way to survive.
Fortunately, the officials who supervised the matter were very dedicated. Under the pressure of the government, the people half-believed and half-doubtedly planted corn and sorghum seeds.
Decisions such as building reservoirs, storing water sources, and digging wells in the south have also been implemented in full swing.
Nangong Yi attaches great importance to the construction of water conservancy, even to the point of nitpicking. For this matter, many officials were replaced, many people were arrested, and people were specially sent to supervise the work. Several officials who wanted to embezzle the national treasury were killed. All the income from the Wanshou Festival was used for this.
In May, the Qingluo Emperor Wanyan Jingchen sent people to escort one million dan of grain to Dajin. These grains were obtained by bartering with Caiwei before. In addition to these, dozens of carts of dowry for Jingyang County Master were also escorted.
