Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Pingyang Hou immediately broke out in a sweat and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was confused for a moment and was blinded by one thing.

Now, after your Majesty's reminder, it is like a revelation, and my heart suddenly brightened up. It turns out that Princess Kangle has reclaimed so many fertile fields for Cangwu.

This old minister understands that this land belongs to Princess Kangle, but it also belongs to Cangwu. This old minister feels that Princess Kangle deserves a reward."

Everyone looked at him with contempt. This Marquis Pingyang really had no integrity at all.

The emperor snorted coldly. Humph! This Pingyang Marquis is really good at changing his attitude according to the situation.

Liu Renxiu looked at Sima Qin again.

"It's better for you, Prince Consort, to stay at home and take care of your wife and children. Don't come to court anymore. Humph! The Imperial Sister is too indulgent towards you."

Sima Qin's face flushed red. He was too embarrassed to speak like the Marquis of Pingyang, saying both good and bad things at once. He could only kneel down with his neck stiffened to express his gratitude, and then leave the court.

Everyone:...

It seems that we cannot say anything bad about Princess Kangle.

Yes, anyone who is not stupid knows that he has made great contributions this time. These people are selfish and cannot bear to see others do well. Can His Majesty give you a good face?

Just then, Zhu Beichen asked for a meeting.

"Xuan."

Zhu Beichen came in exhausted and knelt down to kowtow.

"Your Majesty, in the twenty-six states and eighteen prefectures, grain prices have basically stabilized. The wasteland in each state has been cleared of bricks, stones, and weeds. The weather has warmed up in the past two days, the land has thawed, and spring plowing has begun."

After hearing Zhu Beichen’s personal report, everyone felt relieved, and Liu Renxiu looked even happier.

Zhu Beichen continued, "Princess Kangle redesigned the double-share plow, which can be pulled by two oxen. The ground can be plowed to a depth of more than seven inches, and more than ten acres of land can be plowed in a day."

Everyone gestured with their hands, "Seven inches? Is it that deep?"

Grand Minister of Agriculture Pei Qingping asked in surprise, "Ten acres a day? And they can plow more than seven inches deep? Master Zhu, did you see it with your own eyes?"

Zhu Beichen didn't look at him, but at Liu Renxiu, saying, "Your Majesty, two oxen pulled the plow. I saw it with my own eyes. Thirteen acres were plowed a day, and the depth was seven inches and eight inches. I measured it myself."

Zhu Beichen, the head of the Imperial City Department, was an unkind person to begin with, and the Minister of Agriculture usually avoided him.

So, he didn't care about being ignored by Zhu Beichen.

It's normal to be ignored. It would be scary if he treated me warmly, right?

"Good, good, that's great. An ordinary oxen pulling a plow can only plow five or six acres a day, and the depth is no more than three inches."

After hearing what Zhu Beichen said, he clapped his hands happily, and couldn't help but stepped forward to pull the clothes on Zhu Beichen's shoulders. He bent over and looked at Zhu Beichen, and asked curiously:

"Master Zhu, how did you manage to harvest 13 acres a day? And what about that double-share plow?"

Zhu Beichen shook his shoulders in disgust and did not answer him.

This Minister of Agriculture is really tactless. I am reporting to His Majesty and you are so bold as to interrupt.

Zhu Beichen took out a small box from his arms and held it above his head.

"Your Majesty, these are the deeds to the wasteland purchased by Princess Kangle in various prefectures. All the deeds to the twenty-six prefectures and eighteen counties are here."

Everyone was stunned. What did Princess Kangle mean?

Let Zhu Beichen show off the land deed in front of them?

Pingyang Hou had just been disciplined and didn't dare to speak loudly. He muttered softly, "Could it be that Lord Kangle wants to donate the reclaimed wasteland to the national treasury?"

His voice was not loud, but in the quiet at that time, everyone could hear it clearly.

Everyone thought: It makes sense, maybe it is really the case, and they all showed happy expressions.

Minister of War Zhou Kunran's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "That's great! In three years, our national treasury will no longer be short of food."

Liu Renxiu frowned. "Humph! Didn't these people just want to impeach the little girl? Now they say this, don't they feel guilty?"

The land was reclaimed by the girl, so the reclaimed land naturally belongs to her, and no one else can lay their hands on it!

Thinking of this, he felt a little sorry for Song Jinxiu. This girl was really sincere for Cangwu. Couldn't she have a little selfishness in her heart?

If I hadn't been taking care of this child, wouldn't this child have been chewed to pieces by these old ministers?

Liu Renxiu looked at Zhu Beichen unhappily and said, "Since it was purchased by Princess Kangle, just give it to her for safekeeping. What are you doing here?"

The Minister of Revenue asked tentatively, "Is this something Princess Kangle gave to the national treasury? Master Zhu, you've worked hard. How about I help you carry it?"

Zhu Beichen glared at him, and the Minister of Revenue couldn't help but touch his nose to hide his embarrassment.

Zhu Beichen said loudly: "Your Majesty, Princess Kangle said that all these reclaimed wastelands belong to Your Majesty."

Everyone:...

Well, Princess Kangle's ability to flatter has improved again.

However, since it is for His Majesty, it is no different from offering it to the national treasury. Seeing that Princess Kangle cares so much about her family, country and the world, they are not jealous of the little girl's flattery.

This time, the Minister of Revenue reached out his hand and took the box from Zhu Beichen's hand.

But he tried several times to lift it but failed. Zhu Beichen held it tightly and did not let go.

The Minister of Revenue was puzzled and called out, "Master Zhu?"

It means you should let go.

Zhu Beichen didn't even glance at him. He looked at the emperor and said loudly:

"Princess Kangle said that all these should be put into His Majesty's private treasury, and asked His Majesty to keep them safe and not let those old men in the Ministry of Revenue see them."

Everyone looked at the Minister of Revenue and the Vice Minister of Revenue, the two old guys mentioned by Princess Kangle.

Qian Dai, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, lowered his head in frustration: Princess Kangle, I am so innocent.

Minister of Revenue: Zhu Beichen is so evil. Since you told us not to see it, why did you take it out in front of so many people? Are you doing this on purpose to arouse people's greed?

Zhu Beichen continued, "Princess Kangle said that even if these old guys saw it, they wouldn't give it. Increasing the national treasury's revenue is the responsibility of the ministers, not using your Majesty's belongings to supplement it. This way, your Majesty won't be running out of money."

Everyone: They say this as if they are robbers who rob Your Majesty.

Liu Renxiu was stunned.

Even Eunuch Hai was stunned for a moment before he took the box and presented it to His Majesty.

Looking at the piles of land deeds quietly placed in the box, Liu Renxiu suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

He was the emperor, and everyone was thinking about how to get benefits from him and get rewards. Even if there were treasures to offer, they would shout that it was for Cangwu, for their country and the world.

Only this little girl was thinking about him, worried that he had no money to spend, so she went into business with him and gave him all the wasteland she had reclaimed.

Suddenly, a strong sense of happiness surged in Liu Renxiu's heart.

Song Jinxiu slept comfortably all day. Just as she woke up in the evening, Aunt Chang came to report: "Grand Minister of Agriculture Pei Qingping and Minister of Works Lu Qiaoshou are here to visit. They have been waiting for half an hour."

Song Jinxiu frowned. "What's the emergency at this time? Why didn't you wake me up?"

However, the Minister of Agriculture Pei Qingping was curious about the double-share plow. Knowing that he could not get anything out of Zhu Beichen, he could only ask Princess Kangle.

Because of the Spring Examination during these two days, Gongyuan Street was under martial law, so he had to take a detour.

On the way, I met Lu Qiaoshou, the Minister of Works, and he also dragged me along.

So the two of them came together. They had no intention of disturbing her, but knowing that Princess Kangle was exhausted and resting, they waited in the living room.
