The little princess' mind was read, and the court and harem were eating melons

Hearing what Li Qingyi said, everyone agreed in their hearts.

Yes, it’s very difficult for everyone.

It just so happened that Da Ning had just been settled, and it was a time when they needed to recuperate. So even though the court was in a difficult situation, they still gritted their teeth and reduced taxes for the disaster-stricken areas.

The less taxes are paid, the less money goes to the national treasury. It would be fine if the weather was good next year, but there have been disasters for several years in a row... It's a vicious cycle.

Li Qingyi: [Wang Xuan originally wanted to figure out how to farm, but later changed her mind and started a business to make money. Although this was partly because she only had theoretical knowledge in this area and couldn’t produce results right away, it was also partly because she wanted to get money from the rich.]

System: [Huh?]

Li Qingyi said faintly: [This is another way of robbing the rich to help the poor...]

System: [Is this what you mean by robbing the rich and helping the poor? ]

Officials: ...

No, wait, after hearing this, some people who hadn’t remembered who Wang Xuan was suddenly remembered who this person was.

Isn't she the shopkeeper Wang who has become famous in Beijing recently? I heard she is still a girl in her teens!

Some people who were more informed and paid more attention to the gossip in the market remembered the good things that a certain concubine had done some time ago, and they lowered their heads even lower to avoid being seen by the little princess above.

[Almost.] Li Qingyi said this, and suddenly changed the subject: [Speaking of which, it's winter now, and we should also take precautions against snowstorms... If we wait until a disaster occurs before taking action, it will be a little late.]

As he spoke, Li Qingyi suddenly remembered something and thought: [Speaking of snowstorms, I thought of a few ways to keep warm, such as kangs and honeycomb coals. Do you have any recipes for this? ]

Hearing this, many people pricked up their ears quietly.

The emperor calmly hugged his daughter in his arms, his eyes flashing.

System: [Are there kangs and honeycomb coals? Let me see... yes! ]

System: [Oh, by the way, host, I also helped you look up other recipes that have cold-proof effects, including recipes for wool, sweaters, and down.]

Li Qingyi blinked, and without saying anything, the system started to quote prices.

[First, the recipe for the heated bed. There are seven types in total, ranging from the basic type, the upgraded type to the palace type. The prices are all quite cheap... Oh, because this technology already exists in our world. ]

Li Qingyi: ...Ah, yes, it is said that the origin of the Chinese kang can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty.

Li Qingyi: [Where is the honeycomb briquettes? ]

System: [There is only one recipe for honeycomb coal, covering the basic version and the upgraded version. The host can buy a recipe and choose which one to make. 200 energy, not expensive? ]

System: [In addition, the formulas for wool and sweaters are sold in a bundle, but the prices are separate. Wool costs 1000 energy, and sweaters cost 100 energy.]

System: [I took a peek for you, the host. The formula for a sweater is a combination of various methods of knitting a sweater.]

Li Qingyi: [I really don’t know how to make wool, but China has had spinning machines since ancient times, so I think wool is similar. I won’t consider this for now.]

System: [What about down? ]

Li Qingyi hesitated: [Down refers to down jackets and duvets? ]

The system gave an affirmative answer and stated that the down formula was the most expensive, requiring 3000 energies. It was said that this was because it covered a series of branch formulas including the processing of down raw materials, grading standards, cleaning methods, simple dehydrator formulas, corresponding fabric production methods, etc., so it was expensive.

Li Qingyi: [Well, let me try it myself first. ]

Don’t ask, the answer is stingy.

System: [What about honeycomb coal? ]

Li Qingyi: [Buy.]

System: [Okay!]

A smile appeared in the emperor's eyes.

All the officials were also somewhat excited.

Although they didn't know what honeycomb briquettes were, since the little princess spent a "high price" to buy it and mentioned that it was used for keeping warm, it must be a good thing!

All the officials looked at each other calmly. Following the eye signals from their superiors, several officials stepped forward and began to talk about preventing snow disasters after the officials in front of them finished their reports. All kinds of disasters have occurred in recent years, so it was not at all abrupt to propose that the northern part of Daning should take precautions against possible snow disasters.

Rather, even if Li Qingyi had not spoken up, they would have brought up this matter themselves.

And bringing up this matter again at this time can also secretly urge the little princess - little highness! Save her!

It would be even better if the recipe could be told to them right now! They don’t need the little princess to bother herself, they can do it themselves!

However, just as someone brought up the matter and the emperor said that he would ask a few ministers to stay and discuss the matter in detail later, someone came out with a stern face and wanted to impeach the Seventh Princess and Wang Xuan.

System: [The materials for honeycomb briquettes are not difficult to find, including raw coal, carbonized sawdust, lime, yellow mud...]

Li Qingyi's attention was immediately diverted: "Xiao Ba, wait a minute, I just heard someone say that my seventh sister and Wang Xuan are overbearing?"

emperor:?

Officials:?

No, sir, are you sick?

You didn't say it earlier or later, but you came out and talked about it at this moment, interrupting that little ancestor's work. Did you do it on purpose?

Li Qingyi had no idea of ​​the angry thoughts in other people's minds. She listened to the man chattering on with some surprise as he talked about a lot of anecdotes. After listening, she realized that the purpose of this man's impeachment was not that the Seventh Princess and Wang Xuan were "tyrannical", but that the Seventh Princess, as a royal princess, did not take the lead and was very disrespectful for showing up in the streets with a merchant woman whenever she had nothing to do.

Li Qingyi: Huh?

Li Qingyi was so angry that he laughed. He kicked his legs and tried to get up from the emperor. He cursed at the system in his heart: [￥&*……￥%…… Old Deng, what kind of feudal remnant is this? I can't help but beat him up! ]

System: [Host, calm down! You are still a baby, and it doesn’t hurt when you hit someone! ]

If Li Qingyi hadn't said he wanted to hit someone, the emperor might have let him go.

But he heard that Li Qingyi was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, so he would definitely hug the child in his arms and coax him, "Be good, Yi'er. Your father is in court. Play with him later."

Li Qingyi cursed in her heart, but this time she was not communicating with the system, but cursing in her heart, so other people could not hear the dirty words flooding her mind.

It's no wonder that she was angry. After all, Li Qingyi knew very well that the other party's impeachment was not about saying that the Seventh Princess was disgraceful, but that she was not virtuous enough as a woman!

This is what she hates the most. How can she tolerate it?

But the person hadn't finished speaking yet, and now he started talking proudly about how virtuous women have been since ancient times. Although he didn't directly say that the Seventh Princess was rude, the derogatory meaning in his words was not subtle at all.

The most important thing is that he didn’t say the Seventh Princess directly, he said Wang Xuan directly!

He said that the Seventh Princess was mixing with a lowly merchant like Wang Xuan, which was detrimental to the dignity of the royal family...

Li Qingyi: I fucking——
