Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The emperor listened to Lin Xiaoyue's talk with great interest and satisfaction. He then waved his hand and asked her to leave...

Yes, it's that cruel.

It was not until the eunuch escorted Lin Xiaoyue out of the palace that Lin Xiaoyue looked at the sky, then at the towering palace gate behind her, and then she came to her senses.

It was already past noon, and the emperor didn't even want to leave any food for her? It was a waste of her passionate and vivid storytelling for so long. This boss was too stingy.

Sure enough, it’s the same as the Seventh Uncle. Could it be that the royal family only produces Pi Xiu, which only takes in and never gives out?

Isn't this bullying the workers?

Even if you didn't give me a reward in silver, at least you should give me a meal, or at least a box of exquisite palace snacks.

In the end, nothing happened.

Lin Xiaoyue was convinced that the man was so stingy.

She was emptied out of the dry toilet early in the morning and was pulled into the carriage to the palace without having time to eat. She was so hungry that her stomach was growling. Lin Xiaoyue was secretly complaining about the unkind old emperor.

She waved her hand to refuse the driver's request to get on the car. She wanted to find something to eat on the street, otherwise she would starve to death.

In the palace, the emperor was enjoying a sumptuous lunch served by the chief eunuch, and he was thinking about what Lin Xiaoyue had just said while eating.

It’s not easy for ordinary people.

He thought that there was an expert guiding him behind the scenes, but he didn't expect that the discovery of every new thing was gained through life experience squeezed out of the difficult life of fleeing famine.

The emperor nodded. In fact, he had already sent people to find a royal farm to try out the cement recipe. It was just as the little girl said. It was strong and flat, waterproof and fireproof, low in cost, and could be used to build city walls, houses, roads, etc. It was indeed a good thing that benefited the country and the people.

Moreover, he couldn't sleep last night, so he asked the eunuch to find a target. He tried the crossbow himself and found that it had a long range and strong power, which was much better than the bows and crossbows brought by the Ministry of War.

As for the iron lump, the girl only said that she made it accidentally when she had a flash of inspiration, but she did not mention the specific materials she used.

After the meal, the emperor paused for a moment, then shouted, "Decree that he be made the village chief, and be given a mansion and a farm, and be awarded 100 taels of gold, 100 pieces of silk and satin, 100 bags of tribute rice, two sets of jewelry, and a bushel of pearls..."

After all, the emperor loves talents and rewards those who have made contributions. He also does not want to disappoint those who have made contributions.

For an empire to develop, it needs a lot of talents and recruit good people. As long as people can contribute to the country and the people, regardless of gender, they should be rewarded and punished clearly, so that people can be convinced.

As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the people in the capital were the first to know the news, and they were all a little confused. Who is this Lin Sanya who suddenly appeared out of nowhere? With such a rustic name, she must be a wild girl from some mountain valley. What did she do to catch the emperor's eye and receive a reward?

The person involved, Lin Xiaoyue, was still strolling on the street, eating as she walked, not looking like a lady at all.

The people of the Dayuan Dynasty were open-minded, and it was common to see ladies from prominent families going out. Some ladies from prominent families would wear a veil when they went out, but most of them would show their faces and walk in the busy streets.

Lin Xiaoyue walked on the bustling and crowded street. There were prosperous shops on both sides of the road, as well as charming inns with deep courtyards. The whole street was winding and there was a new scene at every step. These were shops opened by powerful nobles or big families, and the people who were in charge of the shops were their servants.

I first arrived at the Imperial City yesterday afternoon. When I went shopping I was mainly buying clothes and daily necessities. I was very purposeful and rarely strolled around to enjoy the prosperous and beautiful scenery of the Imperial City.

Today, he was just as purposeful and went straight to "eat".

Man is iron and food is steel. If you don't eat for a meal, you will feel hungry, let alone she has been hungry for two meals.

She held a big bag of meat buns in one hand and a bun in the other, putting them into her mouth one by one.

Such bold and unkempt behavior attracted surprised glances from people passing by.

The contemptuous looks and gossips of passers-by naturally reached Lin Xiaoyue's ears, but she didn't care at all and continued to eat her buns as usual.

She was not one of those noble ladies in the imperial city, nor was she a concubine who had to queue up to enter the palace to serve some important figures. Image was not important to her at all. Filling her own stomach was the most important thing.

As she walked, she noticed the things sold in the surrounding shops, jewelry, silks, and musical instruments. Should she say that this place is worthy of being under the feet of the emperor? The people here really know how to have fun and enjoy themselves.

It was completely different from the Yongzhou City and Wanbao Town where she came from. After a round of disasters, everything was in order and the people were harmonious, and there was a lot of work to be done.

Just as she was enjoying her stroll, she was suddenly caught off guard by a basin of water pouring down from the upper floor, pouring all over Lin Xiaoyue's head and body, making her head and body soaking wet, and her clothes stuck to her body.

???

She was walking on the street and a pot fell from the sky?

She raised her head and looked upwards, just in time to meet the astonished eyes of a woman in pink. The woman was holding a basin in her hand, with some suspicious traces of water dripping down at the bottom of the basin...

When the woman saw Lin Xiaoyue looking at her, she quickly retracted her head like a frightened rabbit.

Needless to say, it is obvious who poured the pot of water just now.

Look at the plaque hanging above the head. This is the most luxurious restaurant in the imperial city, Yuebin Tower.

The woman was standing at the window on the third floor facing the street, which was slammed shut from the inside. Even if she was standing on the first floor, she could still hear the men and women laughing happily in the room above.

Can she bear this? ?

It must not happen!!

Lin Xiaoyue was inexplicably splashed with a basin of water. She was furious and rolled up her sleeves and rushed into the Yuebin Building.

She didn't care that Yuebinlou was one of the best in the imperial city and was a high-end restaurant that only entertained aristocratic families.

When the second brothers saw the man coming, wet all over and dribbling down, and rushing upstairs aggressively, they were afraid that he was looking for trouble, so they hurried forward to stop him.

However, no three or five people could stop Lin Xiaoyue. She rushed all the way to the third floor at lightning speed. She killed any god she met and any Buddha she met. Anyone who dared to block her way was kicked away by Lin Xiaoyue.

Seeing that they couldn't stop the person, a smart waiter quickly ran off to find the shopkeeper.

On this side, Lin Xiaoyue rushed to the private room on the third floor, kicked the door open with great force, and rushed in with murderous intent.

The people inside were so startled by Lin Xiaoyue's sudden intrusion that they stopped talking abruptly.

There were nine people in the box, three men and two women sitting at the table. Judging from their exquisite clothes and accessories, they should be respectable people.

There were two other men and two women standing aside, including the woman in pink from before, who seemed to be a maid among the people present.

The man in azure blue clothes was the first to react. He was so angry that he slammed the table and shouted at Lin Xiaoyue who rushed in, "Where did you come from, you lunatic? Get out."
