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

Time flies, the days and months pass by like an shuttle, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

royal palace,

early morning.

There were also a few more beautiful women in the crowded hall.

Especially since this year's top scholar is a woman.

"Alas, there are really women in the court now."

"What nonsense! Didn't His Majesty attend court as a woman before?"

"Well, don't tell me. I've never thought of Her Majesty as a woman before."

As the bell for court rang, the whispers of the crowd suddenly quieted down.

The eunuchs in the inner court shouted: "If you have something to report, please report it early. If you don't, please draw the curtain and leave the court."

In the main hall, all the ministers looked at each other: Today, Her Majesty the Empress did not attend the court again, and there was an old man and a young man sitting on the dragon throne.

The older one was the retired emperor Liu Renxiu, and the younger one was the nine-year-old crown prince Liu Rui.

Since the empress ascended the throne, her majesty only works twenty days a month, and the rest is taken over by the emperor.

When the Empress's only son, the Crown Prince, is four or five years old, the father and son will attend court together to govern the country.

Her Majesty even euphemistically said, "Attending court and governing should start from childhood. A good emperor cannot lose at the starting line!"

Listen, what are these words?

And now, Her Majesty the Empress is even more excessive. Half a month has passed, and she still hasn't attended court.

Fortunately, Cangwu is now enjoying good weather, peace and prosperity, and nothing serious has happened.

When the ministers came to court, they only talked about trivial matters.

For example, the peach blossoms in Fuluo Temple are in bloom.

Every year when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, Fuluo Temple will give out porridge, but this year they can’t.

It’s not that Fuluo Temple is short of funds, but that there are simply no refugees, so there is nowhere to distribute the porridge.

Furthermore, the national granaries are full of old grain this year, and there is nowhere to store the new grain. Should we use the old grain to make wine to make room for the new grain, or should we build a few more granaries?

Regarding this matter, the grandfather and grandson had a dispute on the dragon throne.

The Crown Prince said: "To make wine, we need to store grain that is more than two years old. We need to ensure that the proportion of grain in the granary is new."

The Emperor said: "Can wine be eaten as food? Even if grain is infested with insects, it is still grain. Build more granaries. When you have surplus food, you won't be worried."

He came from an era when there was no food available, and he always felt that food was a person's courage. The more food he had, the more he could stand up straight.

The ministers said: "How about asking Your Majesty to come out and make the decision?"

"No"

"Don't"

The grandfather and grandson said in unison.

The ministers were puzzled: "Since the Emperor and the Crown Prince disagree, why can't His Majesty make the decision?"

"Yes, didn't we do this before? Your Majesty always gives the most reasonable rules."

The grandfather and grandson shook their heads at the same time: "It just won't work this time."

The Emperor said, "Ah, the Emperor said that she is now in the pregnancy preparation period. She needs to be in a good mood and not be disturbed by mundane things. Don't bother her with such a small matter."

The Crown Prince nodded quickly: "Yes, my mother promised my father that she would expand the Zhenguo Mansion and ensure that there would be successors. So..."

Therefore, the Queen Mother really cannot be disturbed now.

The Queen Mother also said that if she couldn't get pregnant with a second child, the task of continuing the bloodline of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would have to be left to her.

He's only nine years old now, okay? It's best if the Queen Mother completes this task herself.

Song Jinxiu and Su Mo were practicing, and what happened in the court was quickly reported to them by Junjun.

As the Queen of Cangwu, how could she stand idly by?

She didn't attend court for two reasons: first, she really wanted to train her son; second, it was for the emperor's sake.

The retired emperor was worried about the crown prince, so he brought him by his side and taught him since he was a child.

It is this kind of determination that supports him.

It has been ten years. He has managed to survive all these years from being an old man.

Now, he is only energetic in the court. Once the Crown Prince is not around, he will sleep anytime and anywhere.

Sometimes he sleeps while sitting, sometimes he falls asleep while standing, and he can even fall asleep while eating.

Song Jinxiu was really afraid that he would fall asleep like this.

For the sake of the emperor's health, Song Jinxiu even tried to refine a longevity elixir, but it was still of no use.

In Junjun's words, this man is now living on a spirit, and the Crown Prince is his spirit.

Therefore, the more Song Jinxiu tried to make trouble for the Crown Prince, the more energetic the Emperor became.

So, Song Jinxiu simply became a hands-off boss.

What's more, while the grandfather and grandson were arguing in the court, the emperor became more and more energetic.

Moreover, Song Jinxiu has now established her foundation, and Junjun has a huge information system under his command, so even if she does not attend the morning court, she can still know what is happening in the world.

Although Cangwu is now a country of peace and prosperity, it is not a time of peace and prosperity.

The coastal bandits are ready to make a move, and the Dada people in the north are also restless.

They only saw the wealth of Cangwu, and regarded it as a piece of fat meat and a big granary, but forgot the strength of Cangwu's army and horses.

Ammunition, mechanical crossbows, and improved war horses.

My brother's military academy has trained batch after batch of new people,

Today, Cangwu has people, guns and food.

If these hungry wolves surrounding them make any unusual moves, Song Jinxiu will not show any mercy.

Now, she even hoped that these people would become restless. Only if they became restless, she, her son who was born and raised in peace, would be able to experience the cruelty of war.

As an emperor, only by experiencing war can one be prepared for danger in times of peace, plan ahead, and prevent disasters before they occur.

This way, she can truly leave with peace of mind a hundred years later.

Therefore, Song Jinxiu has been waiting for the other party to make a move. When the other party makes a move, her son can practice his skills.

Of course, Cangwu today can conquer the whole world.

After all, Song Jinxiu, a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, is enough to defeat thousands of troops.

But who makes her a peace-loving person?

Regarding the aged grain, Song Jinxiu thought for a moment and said, "This year is a bumper harvest year. In the short term, we should prioritize processing the aged grain to free up storage capacity. In the medium and long term, combining storage expansion with technological upgrades is the better approach."

She looked at An Yi and said, "Go and tell Zhou Kunran that grain that is more than three years old can be used to feed livestock. Ordinary people can't just eat vegetables on their tables, they need meat too.

Grain that is more than two years old is used to make wine, so that the people not only have meat to eat, but also have wine to drink.

When the new grain harvest is good, all of it will be stored in the granary. If the granary is not enough, a new granary will be built.

New granaries must be protected from moisture and stored at low temperatures."

Song Jinxiu also drew a rough outline of a granary for An Yi, "Give it to him together."

"Yes," An Yi took the order and left.

When Zhou Kunran received the order from His Majesty, his eyes lit up and he laughed heartily while stroking his gray beard.

"Your Majesty is truly a wise king."

Song Jinxiu's decision, driven by the dual wheels of digesting old grain and smart warehousing, not only solves the current urgent problem, but also lays the foundation for a long-term mechanism for food security.

Zhou Kunran admired every decision Song Jinxiu made.

He boasted to his nephew Zhou Yongzhi, "In this life, your uncle and I have been able to follow two generations of wise rulers. I am truly fortunate!"
