Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 251 Go to Linzhou to solve the problem

After not seeing him for two days, the Seventh Prince looked haggard and had obviously lost a lot of weight.

Ye Youlan said tartly, "Why, when a pretty girl throws herself into your arms, why are you being so polite?"

"I've replaced all the servants in the study with men. I was careless, but luckily I didn't make a big mistake. I'm sorry for the trouble you've put in."

Ye Youlan became angry and annoyed when she thought about the way she detoxified him, and her face almost turned red.

"If I'm not at home, you won't detoxify?"

"I said I would rather die than touch another woman. I have stronger willpower than your brother."

Ye Youlan glared at him in dissatisfaction: "If you want to praise yourself, then praise yourself. Why do you have to put down my eldest brother? He has a wife and concubines now. He is simply a winner in life. I don't know how many people envy him!"

"I don't envy."

Ye Youlan asked the Seventh Prince, "Has the court doctor examined him? Are there any sequelae?"

The Seventh Prince smiled and said, "It's no problem to serve you."

"shameless."

Dingxiang spread the word outside that Zhao Ling was dead.

The couple looked at each other and wondered who Zhao Ling was.

"She was Madam Zhao's niece. She jumped into the lake and died."

Ye Youlan couldn't understand why she insisted on sharing a man with others. Wouldn't it be better to find a good man and live in love for the rest of her life?

In the blink of an eye, it was May, and Ye Youlan successfully gave birth to her second baby, a boy. Ye Youlan stared at her son to see how much he looked like her.

She told the Seventh Prince that she had a son and a daughter, making a perfect couple, and she would never have any more children. Even if she accidentally got pregnant in the future, she would take medicine to get an abortion.

"Bah, bah, stop talking nonsense. It's too harmful to your health. From now on, I'll take the medicine, and you don't have to drink the contraceptive soup."

"That's pretty much it."

Yueyue was very well-behaved when she was a child, but this second baby has had a bad temper since she was young. Several wet nurses took turns taking care of her every day, and they all had dark circles under their eyes in the morning. Ye Youlan gave them two pay raises, otherwise she would not be able to stay.

Yueyue was annoyed by the noise, so she went to her brother's room and pointed at his face: "Why don't you try crying again?"

As a result, the little guy immediately calmed down, but as soon as Yueyue left, he started making trouble again.

Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince both pointed at him and told him not to cry, but he couldn't hear them at all and his voice was still loud.

Finally, the Seventh Prince asked the nanny to put his younger brother in Yueyue's room.

Ye Youlan shook her head. This is the suppression of blood. I cannot blame you.

Ye Youlan gave birth to a son, and the capital was filled with joy. Madam Ye had the maids in the mansion make several sets of clothes for the little guy and also bought a gold lock and sent it to him.

The emperor was overjoyed and gave many precious toys as rewards.

Ye Youlan said disdainfully: "You favor boys over girls. From now on, I will be the only one who loves Yueyue."

While Ye Youlan was in confinement, the Seventh Prince followed her advice and implemented a garrison system. Soldiers were allowed to bring their families with them, farm during busy periods, and train during leisure time. Retired veterans were free to choose where to live within their fiefdoms, and their families received tax breaks and their children's education.

Ye Youlan decided to go to Linzhou just after her confinement. Magistrate Zhang sent a letter, asking Ye Youlan and the Seventh Prince to go to Linzhou in person.

Ye Youlan went there during the Sheep Festival and had a good meal of mutton.

This time when I entered Linzhou, I saw much more greenery, and the tree planting was effective.

Ye Youlan sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out. What were those small things among the sparse trees?

Li Zhi sat in front of the carriage and told her, "It looks like medicinal herbs."

Listening to Li Zhi's deep voice, Ye Youlan suddenly asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, how old is Li Zhi?"

The Seventh Prince raised his eyes sharply and asked, "Why are you asking about this?"

"He should be older than Li, right? Should we consider his marriage?"

"Do you have someone suitable?" The Seventh Prince's eyes widened when he said this. "You don't want Dingxiang to marry him, do you?"

Ye Youlan patted the Seventh Prince: "Lilac is still a child."

"What I mean is that you can ask him when you have time. If you find something suitable, tell him and I will help him plan the wedding."

The Seventh Prince raised his lips and said, "You're not still thinking of forming seven pairs and summoning the dragon, are you?"

Ye Youlan grinned, revealing her white teeth. "If I help Li Zhi get married, that would make five couples. It seems we're not far from our goal. Come on."

The Seventh Prince was nervous: "You are not allowed to ride the dragon away? You can't leave me and Yueyue behind, Erbao."

Ye Youlan couldn't help but laugh when she heard the word "Erbao". "Father wants to name Erbao, why hasn't he written to me yet?"

"Actually, Li Erbao is quite nice and sounds easy to support."

Ye Youlan quickly waved her hands: "You can't just pick a random name, otherwise Erbao will be angry when he grows up."

We talked and chatted all the way until we arrived in Linzhou and went to the provincial capital.

The prefecture was much the same as I remembered, the only thing that had changed was that it had once been the county government office, and now it was the prefecture. Magistrate Zhang was a practical man, and he wasn't particular about where he lived.

When Magistrate Zhang heard that the Seventh Prince and the Princess had arrived, he hurried out, followed by some people. Ye Youlan saw that they were some local officials, and they looked very simple and practical people.

Hurry into the meeting room and talk.

Magistrate Zhang took the lower seat and introduced the people around him to the Seventh Prince, including the clerk, the county magistrate, the governor, and people from the local chamber of commerce.

Prefect Zhang first reported on what had happened in Linzhou over the past year, and then mentioned several problems. The first was that the rewards that were supposed to be redeemed had not yet arrived. Many people were afraid that it was just empty talk, so they had been very cautious recently.

Second, Linzhou had a bumper millet harvest, but was worried about sales, as the Chamber of Commerce in Gucheng had been slow to respond.

Third, the official schools were too small, and many children registered but had no place;

Fourth, there is little arable land in Linzhou, and many young people have nothing to do. Many people are idle, and if left unchecked, accidents can easily happen.

The Seventh Prince signaled to Ye Youlan to speak.

Ye Youlan was not polite and said she came here to solve the problem.

Tell us how much silver you need this time. We'll use the palace's private funds to cover the cost first, and repay it later when taxes are collected. Recruit young men to form a caravan to transport Linzhou's specialties to the capital, and even as far as Jingnan. The remaining young men are welcome to join the army, and their families can be brought along. The older students in the official schools, those with outstanding grades, will be sent to Gucheng and Qingzhou official schools, where the teachers are excellent and there are many official schools.

Magistrate Zhang found that the problem he had been worrying about for a long time was solved by the princess's few words. He asked his clerk to ask the accountant to calculate the amount of silver he would need.

Ye Youlan asked Li Zhi to go with her and help with the distribution. She had specially exchanged a lot of silver this time, which should be enough.

The president of the Chamber of Commerce had been warmly entertained at the palace, so he wanted to treat everyone this time.

Ye Youlan told them that July 12th would be three days later, which was the first day of the dog days. Why not organize the Sheep Festival and make it a characteristic culture of Linzhou, so as to attract more outsiders to visit Linzhou.

Someone laughed and said, "Come to Linzhou? This desolate and remote place?"
