The grass in the factory should be plucked

"Secondly, the ports along the Heilongjiang River were funded by Da Chu to build shops and docks. The Longmen Commercial Bureau followed up with all its strength, helping the local government to recruit investors and supervise the market, and promising tax exemptions and reductions to attract merchants from all over the world." Jiang Li continued.

Cui Jue's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, what you mean is to turn the Heilongjiang River into a golden waterway under the control of the Great Chu, so as to strangle the economic lifeline of the Jurchens?"

"Yes!" Jiang Li's eyes showed approval. It's so easy to talk to smart people!

"Excellent! Great idea, Your Majesty!" Cui Jue was extremely impressed.

On the surface, these two moves show that Da Chu is a really good person, always considering the Jurchens. Not only did they arrange jobs for the common people, but they also paid for the construction of docks, shops, and the development of commerce. They were closer than brothers.

In fact, they first robbed people and then robbed their money. By the time the Jurchens reacted, their family assets would probably have been emptied!

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Third, Longmen Academy has set up a branch in Jurchen. Those with outstanding academic performance can serve in Da Chu."

This is a fight to snatch even the talents!

With these three measures, the Jurchens were left with nothing but an empty shell!

Cui Jue couldn't help but light a candle for Empress Dowager Xiao and Wanyan Qi.

Even the cunning Prince Rui and Yelu Qi could not outwit our Prince Jing'an. How could Empress Dowager Xiao, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and Wanyan Qi, who is only fourteen years old, be her opponents?

Trying to take advantage of her by leveraging her power?

Is it so easy to take advantage of Jiang Ba Pi? It would be strange if he didn't squeeze you dry!

Cui Jue broke out in a cold sweat, secretly thanking her luck. Fortunately, Cui had become her friend very early on. If she had been her enemy, she might have been sold out and had to help her count money!

Xie Changan had a smile on his face, looking proud of it.

His little cat is really smart. He hopes all his children will be like her, so that no one can bully them in the future.

After seeing Cui Jue off, Jiang Li wrote a letter to Nangong Qinghe, resigning from the post of envoy, leaving all matters to Cui Jue, and took the opportunity to say that she wanted to take maternity leave!

Of course, she still needs to take care of the matter of the eagle couple being conferred the title of mountain gods of Greater Khingan Range, and no one else can do it for her.

Xie Changan was also writing a letter to Liao Wuyong to announce the good news that the little Li Nu was pregnant with her second child, and it seemed to be twins again!

There was no need to send Aunt Lian over this time. After the defense of Changbai Mountain was completed, he and Jiang Li would return to Beijing with Xie Buli and Xie Buqi.

Troops can only be sent to Greater Khingan Range after a peace treaty is signed with Mongolia.

During this period, Jiang Li can stay at home and take good care of her pregnancy.

Ji Feng flew to the capital city diligently with the letter.

After Liao Wuyong read the letter, he was overjoyed. Their family was going to have another baby!

He hurriedly sent someone to deliver the letter to Prince Jing'an's Palace to inform Aunt Lian of the good news.

Aunt Lian was also overjoyed when she heard the news.

She was happy and distressed.

The little cat slave is having twins as his second child, so he has to suffer again.

She must keep a close eye on them this time and not let them do anything reckless like they did with their first child!

Aunt Lian quickly invited Uncle Zhou over and summoned the stewards from the two mansions. The mansion was about to welcome a new baby, so they had to get ready quickly!

"Master Guan, send a note to Lady Ryan and tell her I will visit her tomorrow."

"Yes, Madam!"

Cui Ai is about to give birth, and Aunt Lian plans to visit her.

By the way, I can borrow the nanny beside her to help train a few maids.

Zhenzhu'er has been given to Xie Buli and Xie Buqi, and Feicui'er will probably have to take care of two newborn babies, so little Li Nu is no longer accompanied by a maid to serve him personally!

Other masters have a bunch of maids and servants, but her little slave, Li Lin, is different. She runs around all day long and has only four guards around her. There are only two maids who serve her personally in the mansion.

As a prince, his life is even rougher than that of ordinary officials!

Aunt Lian suggested several times to add a few more maids to her room, but Jiang Li refused every time.

"Aunt, I'm often not at home, why should I support more people? We don't support idle people in our family."

Aunt Lian thought about it and agreed. She was not at home for half a year. Why did she need so many maids? Were they just sitting there to eat for free?

The next day, as soon as Aunt Lian's carriage arrived at the Rui'an Marquis's residence, Cui Ai's maid Jinse hurried over to greet her with a big smile on her face and bowed, "Greetings, Lady Zhang!"

She helped Aunt Lian down from the carriage attentively: "My wife is not feeling well and is unable to come to greet you in person. Please don't blame me, my lady!"

Aunt Lian smiled and said, "A pregnant woman is the most important, how can I let her come to greet me personally?"

Then he asked, "Does your wife have a good appetite? If there is anything you want to eat, just tell me."

Jinse smiled and replied, "Madam eats well and sleeps well, but her feet are a little swollen. Uncle massages her every day."

"Your daughter is the most blessed to have a miracle doctor taking care of her personally."

Jinse supported Aunt Lian, while Zhen'er and Zhu'er followed behind holding two brocade boxes, which contained small clothes that Aunt Lian had made for Man'er.

The group walked into the mansion talking and laughing.

Yaoqin supported Cui Ai and greeted them at the hanging flower gate in the inner courtyard.

"Aunt, you're here!" Cui Ai greeted her happily.

When she was in the Jing'an Palace, she spent more time with Aunt Lian than Jiang Li, so she was naturally very affectionate towards her.

"Oh, you are heavy, why did you come out to greet me?" Aunt Lian stepped forward quickly to support her, saying in a reproachful tone.

Cui Ai is already eight months pregnant. She has gained a lot of weight, and her figure is becoming more round and plump, and her complexion is excellent.

She smiled and said, "I have to go out for a walk anyway. My husband told me to walk every day, saying it is good for childbirth."

The two returned to the main room and the maid served them tea.

Aunt Lian sighed, "You are a blessed girl, unlike my daughter. This time you went to Changbai Mountain, which must be a desolate and sparsely populated place, and you got pregnant again!"

Cui Ai was pleasantly surprised: "The prince is pregnant again? This is such a great joy!"

Although Aunt Lian's face was full of worry, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes: "It is indeed a happy event. I just hope that she and her husband can come back soon and stay in the mansion to take good care of the baby, and don't run around anymore."

She told him her intention, which was to ask the nanny around Cui Ai to help train a few maids.

Cui Ai agreed readily.

She kept Aunt Lian to have lunch before sending someone to take her back home.

Royal study room.

When Nangong Qinghe received the memorial presented by Jiang Li, he could not help but applaud when he saw her three tricks in setting up a plan to plot against the Jurchens.

"Ali is indeed a genius!" Nangong Qinghe sighed, looking up at Yuanbao who was waiting beside him with his pen and ink, "Why is she so determined not to join the cabinet?"

Yuan Bao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know the good news about Prince Jing'an yet, right?"

Nangong Qinghe raised his eyebrows: "What good news?"

"The prince and Duke Dingguo are going to have another baby!"

Liao Wuyong was extremely happy and shared the good news with everyone he met. Within half a day, everyone in the palace had heard about it.

"Ari is pregnant again?"

Nangong Qinghe's heart tightened. Doesn't that mean she will have to take another vacation?

Looking down, I saw that Jiang Li had resigned at the end of the letter, and Cui Jue would be in charge of the negotiations as she was going to take maternity leave!
