Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

At this moment, Xiao Mo obviously had not yet calmed down from his anger.

He took the secret letter in one hand, glanced at the contents of the letter quickly, snorted coldly, and tore the secret letter into pieces.

"My good brother is truly at ease and contented! He even has the energy to learn how to be a wise ruler and to properly govern Lingnan.

Doesn't he know his own worth? It's a miracle that someone like him can survive until now!

I guess he must have found some magical elixir that has allowed him to survive until now.

It's so abominable. I feel sick to my stomach when I think he's still alive! "

Zhang De, who was standing nearby, saw this and quickly stepped forward, his face full of flattery, and said in his sharp and piercing voice:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. He is nothing in front of you. Don't worry about him.

However, I also heard one thing.

It is said that Shen Qingge and Xiao Heng are inseparable and inseparable. Even when Xiao Heng went to guard the border this time, he brought her with him.

Hearing this, Xiao Mo's face became even gloomier, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, this woman is really shameless. She is so willing to commit herself to a man. She is simply a lowly creature.

Since she is so eager to get close to a man, let her go!

Let her serve my disabled brother and see if he is still capable of sexual intercourse!

"Then how should our spies in ambush act?"

The eunuch chief Zhang De asked Xiao Mo with a puzzled look on his face.

Xiao Mo frowned slightly and said impatiently:

"Didn't I tell you long ago to have those spies maintain a high level of vigilance at all times and closely monitor whether they have any large sums of money coming in recently?

If the treasure map really falls into their hands, I don't believe they will sit idly by!

In the current situation, their lives have to be saved. After all, the Hexi Army has not yet been properly dealt with. I am really too busy to focus on dealing with these people.

Besides, I don't want to have the bad reputation of "killing my brother".

Give orders to create more troubles and obstacles for them, and don't let their lives be too easy!

After saying that, Xiao waved his hand, meaning that he was tired.

Zhang De immediately understood and said, "I will go and arrange for a few beauties to come and comfort Your Majesty!"

After saying this, he hurriedly retreated and went to deal with the matter.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Shen Qingge had been resting at home for four or five days.

Early that morning, just as the sky was getting light, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the Shen family's door.

The person who came was Yun Yi. He was here on Xiao Heng's orders to bring Shen Qingge into the palace.

After hearing the noise outside the door, Shen Qingge hurriedly packed the bag that had been prepared long ago.

Before leaving, she gave her family some brief instructions, and then she felt at ease to follow Yun Yi onto the carriage and set off for the Lingnan Palace.

Along the way, the sound of horse hooves was crisp and the wheels rolled forward.

Yun Yi drove the horse and sat in the front, while Shen Qingge sat in the carriage.

It would take another half an hour to get to the Lingnan Palace, so the two bored people started chatting.

Shen Qingge was concerned about the King of Lingnan's recent situation and was the first to ask:

"How has the situation been these past two days, Your Highness? Is everything alright?"

Yun Yi smiled slightly and replied:

"My dear, everything is fine with the master. After two days of recuperation and rest, he is now attending court and handling government affairs as usual.

Just yesterday, he meticulously formulated a new policy and ordered County Magistrate Zhang and others to implement it as quickly as possible."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingge couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Oh? I wonder what the new policy is? Can you tell me more about it?"

Yun Yi recalled briefly and said slowly:

"It's a plan to reclaim wasteland. According to the master, this policy will be officially implemented by the beginning of next spring.

As for the specific details... it's roughly like this.

Any Lingnan citizen who wishes to reclaim wasteland can go to the government to register for a temporary land deed.

After five years of continuous cultivation, the temporary land lease can be converted into a permanent one. Furthermore, each household can reclaim up to five mu of wasteland, depending on the number of people in the household.

Furthermore, there are tax breaks. For the first year, all taxes are waived; for the next five years, only 10% is collected. After the five-year period, taxes will be levied according to the regular land tax policy.

After listening to Yun Yi's words, Shen Qingge nodded in agreement:

"This policy is indeed quite good! However, if we want to implement it effectively, I'm afraid we will have to go through many twists and turns and difficulties.

Ordinary people don't have much trust in our government. Besides this, do you have any other considerations or plans?"

"To answer my question, young lady, of course there is. However, the specific details will need to be discussed with the master once you arrive.

Let’s go first!”

Yun Yi said as he pulled the reins to speed up.

As they were talking, they had unknowingly reached the gate of the Lingnan Palace.

At this time, the palace's housekeeper and maid had been waiting at the door for a long time.

The Lingnan Palace was simple, and Xiao Heng had spent a long time thinking about how to arrange a proper accommodation for Shen Qingge.

After repeated consideration, I finally found a relatively secluded and quiet small courtyard in the backyard, which was barely acceptable.

When they saw the carriage slowly approaching, the two maids in charge - Nanny Wang and Nanny Li - hurried forward to greet it respectfully, and carefully helped Shen Qingge down from the carriage, and then surrounded her and walked into the mansion.

Along the way, everyone who met Shen Qingge, whether they were servants or handymen, all nodded and lowered their eyebrows, and were extremely respectful, as if they were treating their future mistress.

Shen Qingge couldn't help but feel a little amused at this scene, secretly complaining:

"These people are overthinking it!"

But on the surface, she still maintained an elegant smile, nodding and greeting everyone who passed by.

Not long after, several maids led Shen Qingge to the quiet courtyard.

One of the maids said respectfully:

"Madam, we have arrived. From now on, this will be your residence.

This courtyard has not yet been named. The king has specifically instructed that you can give it a name according to your personal preference.

I wonder if Madam Historian has any thoughts on this?"

Shen Qingge slowly stopped and stood at the gate of the yard, his eyes cast towards the several beautifully blooming plum trees in the yard.

The plum blossoms stood proudly in the cold wind, emitting bursts of faint fragrance.

She couldn't help but smile slightly, and murmured softly, "Ten thousand trees are colorless in the cold, only the southern branches have flowers! Hmm... I think it would be better to call it 'Southern Branch Garden'."
