Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Ye Jintang looked at her two daughters having so much fun and couldn't help complaining in her heart. She missed them so much, but these two heartless girls didn't even miss her at all.

After watching for a long time, until the children finished their classes and went back to sleep, Ye Jintang reluctantly returned to the palace.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that the children had grown up. In the past, they were dependent on her, but now it was her turn to be dependent on them.

The first week when An An and Nuan Nuan went to school was the most difficult days for Ye Jintang, but once she got through it, her mentality felt much better.

In the autumn of the same year, drought struck the city again, and not a single grain of grain from the autumn harvest was stored in the granary.

Xiao Mo planned to send an inspector to inspect the disaster on his behalf.

As soon as he mentioned this matter during the morning court session, several officials wanted to be the Inspector General, and the court was in chaos for a while.

Just when Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang didn't know who to use, Pingping took a step forward.

"Father, Queen Mother, I am willing to go to Ninghe Prefecture to inspect the disaster on your behalf."

Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang didn't expect Pingping to take the initiative to propose going to Ninghe Prefecture.

"Prince, do you know that Ninghe Prefecture is currently experiencing a drought and there are many refugees begging everywhere? It is not peaceful there. You may run into danger if you go there. Do you really want to go?"

"Yes, Father, as the Crown Prince, I naturally need to understand the people's sentiments instead of just listening to what others say about the outside world in the palace."

"Okay, since the prince has made up his mind, then you can go to Ninghe Prefecture on my behalf and bring the disaster relief silver and grain with you."

When the court officials heard that Xiao Mo had actually handed over the matters of both disaster relief silver and relief grain to the prince, they were all surprised.

The prince is still young, how can he handle these two important tasks well?

Immediately, court officials stood up to object. The prince was the future emperor of Tianqin State, so how could he put himself in danger given his status?

There was a rush of people kneeling in the hall, all begging Xiao Mo not to send the Crown Prince to Ninghe Prefecture to inspect the disaster.

"What do you say, Prince?"

Xiao Mo directly kicked the ball to Pingping, but he was still looking forward to his answer.

"Everyone, you have said that I am the crown prince, the future emperor of Tian Qin. Do you want your future emperor to live in the capital forever, never even leave the city gates, and have no idea what the outside world is like?"

"Is this the kind of emperor you want?"

Well, Pingping kicked the ball back to the court officials.

Can a short-sighted emperor really lead the Qin Kingdom to prosperity?

The courtiers fell silent.

Ye Jintang, who had remained calm all the time, watched Pingping render the court officials speechless with just a few words, and secretly sighed in her heart that her beloved son had really grown up.

"My Lords, don't worry. The Crown Prince will naturally bring enough guards and secret guards with him when he goes to Ninghezhou."

Things have come to this point, what else can the court officials do but agree to let the prince go to Ninghe Prefecture.

Having had the experience of An An and Nuan Nuan living in the academy, Ye Jintang was not too anxious about Ping Ping going to Ningchuan Prefecture.

It’s just that Pingping carried a lot of things with him, including a whole box full of various life-saving pills, potions, and powders.

Ye Jintang was afraid that he would encounter difficulties on the road that he could not solve, so he asked him to bring hundreds of guards and sixty secret guards.

"Mother, I am not that fragile. We are in a peaceful and prosperous era. Who would come to attack the Crown Prince? I only need to bring 20 guards and 20 secret guards. I don't need to bring too many people."

“Will it be too little?”

"Mother, have you forgotten that I also know Kung Fu? If I really encounter danger, even if I can't fight, I can still run away."

Seeing Pingping talking about running away so confidently, Ye Jintang was simply too tired to complain.

Kids of this age are extremely concerned about their reputation, and Ye Jintang did not continue to give in to Pingping over the issue of guards.

Since Pingping didn't allow Rang to bring so many guards, she might as well send some secretly.

Pingping only prepared for two days before setting off for Ninghe Prefecture.

Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang personally escorted him out of the capital.

"Brother Xiao, it seems that we are getting closer and closer to becoming a hands-off boss."

"Well, the kids are grown up now, and we can finally go out for a walk."

The two men smiled at each other. They had to quickly deal with the things at hand. Then they could give Pingping a stable Tianqin Kingdom and retire after their success.

Pingping was in Ninghe Prefecture for more than three months. When he returned to the capital, winter had already arrived.

Before going to Ninghe Prefecture, Pingping insisted that he didn't need to bring too many guards. As a result, he encountered robbers on the way. If Ye Jintang hadn't secretly sent people to protect him, he would have been seriously injured.

Since someone dared to covet the prince's carriage, Pingping immediately disguised himself and entered Ninghe Prefecture.

During the two months in Ninghe Prefecture, Pingping arrested corrupt officials and saved the poor people, and accomplished a lot.

Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo felt both relieved and distressed when they saw their son grow taller and get tanned after being away for a few months.

However, this trip was not in vain. Pingping was obviously much more mature than before, and was more experienced in handling court affairs.

Especially when Xiao Mo began to abolish the city lord system on a large scale the next day, Pingping also helped Xiao Mo a lot.

Originally according to Xiao Mo's plan, it would take at least another two or three years to completely abolish the city lord system. However, with the father and son joining forces, it only took one year for the city lord system to completely withdraw from the historical stage of Tian Qin State.

A year later, a student from Yulin Academy almost committed suicide in front of An An because her parents suddenly passed away. This incident involved the fact that a girl could not inherit her parents' property.

Ye Jintang took the opportunity to propose the establishment of a female household in the court.

"The Wuning Marquisate is considered a prominent family in the capital, but they could actually force their daughter to death. It's really disappointing."

"In the final analysis, it's because women can't inherit their parents' property."

"If this matter is not resolved, similar things will definitely happen again in the future."

Ye Jintang's words were like ice chips, which frightened the officials present. It was the first time they saw her so angry.

"I wonder if the Queen has a good solution."

Xiao Mo on the side still looked at Ye Jintang in a sensible way.

"It's actually very simple to solve this problem. As long as the court allows the establishment of female households, this problem can be solved perfectly."

The court officials present knew the meaning of establishing a female household. When a woman becomes the head of a household, she will be treated differently.

If a natural disaster occurs, relief grain and relief silver are sometimes distributed per household. An orphan must have relatives to help her receive the money. If she really has no relatives, the villagers may only report her name and not give her food.

As for farmland, the village distributes farmland according to the number of male members in a household, and women do not have farmland.

If a woman sets up a female household, should the farmland in the village be allocated to her or not?

This matter involves too many details, and it cannot be solved by simply setting up a female household.

"Your Majesty's idea is good, but it is difficult to implement. Please think twice, and we will discuss this matter slowly."

The Minister of Rites Li An was the first to stand up and oppose it. He was a supporter of Ye Jintang, but the idea of ​​establishing female households was really not easy to promote. If it was not done well, it might affect Ye Jintang's reputation.
