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

Your Majesty is pregnant, which gives you even more reason not to attend the morning court.

The Crown Prince officially became regent.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Song Jinxiu, with her pregnant belly, actually went on a secret visit with Su Mo.

This absence lasted for several months.

He climbed Mount Tai, toured West Lake, inspected Annan County, and made secret arrangements for the country's maritime transport.

It is said that the empress and the empress also played disappearing and guessing games with local officials.

Because the empress was going on a secret visit, the local officials were the most nervous.

His Majesty is here to inspect our achievements. How can I not be nervous?

As soon as we receive news from His Majesty, we will be fully prepared to welcome him.

However, every time the call was answered, it was either Lord Su Chuan who was beside His Majesty, or Lord Su Qibajiu who was beside the Queen.

It is said that the Emperor and Empress do not like to be disturbed or to waste money. His Majesty has ordered that officials from all regions should just do their jobs.

In fact, Song Jinxiu's travels in the past few months were not aimless.

As an emperor, every trip concerns the country and the people.

Wherever Song Jinxiu went, she checked taxes and inspected officials. Of course, all of this was done in secret.

Her main purpose this time was to have a systematic plan for business development.

To be rich, build roads first.

A single north-south highway wasn't enough; there needed to be multiple national highways running east, west, south, and north. Then there were the roads within the county government, for which she had clear instructions.

The development of Yangzhou's sericulture industry, and this trip south, where she saw that Bobo Mountain had become a tea garden, made her feel happy and gave her a clearer idea.

Business is the bond that promotes prosperity everywhere.

Not only should we develop business domestically, but we should also exchange what we have with foreign countries.

In her past life, there was the Silk Road, and Cangwu was also available. Trade with foreign countries was secondary. The most important thing was that she wanted plant seeds, spices, potatoes, and tomatoes from foreign countries.

Especially corn.

Although Cangwu has a bumper harvest every year, the population of Cangwu is also increasing rapidly due to the peace and prosperity in the country.

She can only feel at ease when she has high-yield crops in her own hands.

Also, she plans to establish a national bank throughout Cangwu.

If business is to develop, the exchange of silver bills is crucial.

Going all the way south, walking around, eating, drinking, and enjoying the mountains and scenery, Song Jinxiu felt like she didn't want to leave.

The court was presided over by the retired emperor, the crown prince was mature at a young age, and all the ministers worked together and did their best. The fact that His Majesty, who often abandoned his responsibilities and disappeared, did not cause any ripples in the entire court.

At first, the emperor didn't mind, but one day, he suddenly remembered that Song Jinxiu had promised him that she would take him to face the sea and watch the spring flowers bloom.

"Humph! This heartless girl thinks I'm old and an eyesore to her."

Thinking that the little girl no longer wanted him, the emperor suddenly got angry and wanted to go on a hunger strike in protest.

The Crown Prince was stunned.

The ministers were also stunned.

Li Fangling, the director of the Imperial Hospital, sighed, "The retired emperor's words are incoherent and his actions are erratic. This is a sign of old age. The crown prince is trying to appease the retired emperor. He's showing signs of rejuvenation."

Song Jinxiu felt very heavy-hearted when she received the news.

His Majesty is suffering from Alzheimer's disease?

Therefore, she lost the mood to play. The emperor was in such a state now. As the emperor, she had to be filial to him by his bedside.

However, pregnancy lasts for ten months and delivery only takes one day.

Song Jinxiu gave birth.

A baby girl was born in Jiangnan, who became the future Duke of Zhenguo, Su Anning.

Therefore, the confinement period after giving birth delayed the return trip.

In October, there was a gloomy atmosphere in King Dada's tent.

There was a drought here this summer, and the number of cattle and sheep decreased sharply. Winter is coming soon, and this winter is not going to be easy.

"Your Majesty, I heard that Cangwu has had bumper harvests for three consecutive years. Every household has filled their granaries, and even used the leftover grain to feed pigs and livestock."

King Dada frowned and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"What? Do you think I'm not as good as that Cangwu Empress? She can't even provide enough food and clothing for her country?"

The minister was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. That is not what I meant."

King Dada glanced at him and said, "What do you mean? Are you asking me to lead the others to rob?"

It's not that he hadn't tried to rob it before, but there was a military camp guarding this border. It was said that the Cangwu Empress was invincible with her silver spear, and even the elephant army in the southern border was no match for her...

Therefore, he has the desire but not the courage to do so now. He is just waiting and watching, hoping that the bandits in the South China Sea will be more effective.

In this way, he can find opportunities to gain some benefits.

At this time, another minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, according to our spies in the capital of Cangwu, the Queen of Cangwu has not attended court for six months. She is said to be bedridden and will not live long."

"What? Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true. The one who attends court every day is the Crown Prince. He's only ten years old at most. What can he do?"

"Did the Cangwu Empress really not attend court?"

"It's true."

"Hahaha, okay, very good."

When King Dada heard that the current government of Cangwu was controlled by an old and decrepit emperor and a child who had just turned ten years old, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha, I knew it. There's no way that the old emperor of Cangwu would hand over the imperial power to a woman of another surname. He's just using her as a stepping stone."

The Prime Minister of Dada said, "My king has foresight. In my opinion, the Queen of Cangwu is probably no longer alive. The people of Cangwu are best at killing the mother and keeping the child."

"Kill the mother and keep the child? Well, that's really possible."

Everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

The general of Dada Nation said with lingering fear, "When I went to Xuantian Sect to seek elixirs, I had the honor of meeting the empress. Although she was a woman, she possessed a great deal of divine power. With a wave of her hand, she could knock down mountains and stop rivers."

That year, he used his connections to go to Xuantian Sect in Cangwu to purchase elixirs. He was there when Song Jinxiu destroyed Crescent Lake.

The world was spinning around him and he was awakened. He ran out quickly and just happened to see Song Jinxiu breaking the white beam of light.

He didn't know who it was at the time, but later he found out that it was actually the Crown Princess.

With such divine power, it is no wonder that Emperor Cangwu is willing to make her the empress.

She became an empress because such a person could only be used by herself, but once she became an empress, she would make the emperor wary and it was understandable that he wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

For example, she controls the Liu family empire.

Who knows if she will have a child with someone else?

If the Cangwu throne eventually falls to someone else, then the surname Liu will no longer exist...

"But is that woman with the strength to move mountains and the courage to conquer the world really dead?" he asked uncertainly.

"The general's audacity is truly worrying. A mere woman, what good is it if she only has strength? With such short-sightedness, it's only natural for her to die after being taken advantage of."

The general was secretly annoyed at being ridiculed.

But then he thought, women are only good at fighting for favors, how can they rule the country? For so many years, hasn't the old emperor been holding Cangwu up?

Yes, the old emperor refused to give up power, perhaps because he was on guard against the empress!

So, is this woman really dead?

Humph! Even if she didn't die, I'm afraid the old emperor wouldn't trust her to hold military power again.

Thinking of this, the general of Dada State thought he had found out the truth. He slammed the table and said proudly:

"If the Queen of Cangwu was still here, we could still be a little wary of them. But if she was really killed by the Emperor of Cangwu, then we will bite off a piece of Cangwu no matter what."

Everyone's eyes were filled with greed.

King Dada waved his hand and said, "For safety's sake, send someone else to investigate."
