【Quick Wear】My Years as a Mother-in-law
Chapter 183 The Queen Mother who picked up the bargain is very upset 29
Yun Xi, who was living in the women's college, received another letter from Xiu'er, saying that eight concubines in the palace were now pregnant.
Two hundred thousand taels of silver per child, and even the emperor had to pay for his favors. Eight children already cost one million six hundred thousand taels. This little emperor...
Hey!
Fortunately, he grew up well and was not beaten. After all, the original owner and the late emperor were both good-looking, and none of the three children were ugly.
Moreover, the little emperor did not spend the money carelessly. He knew to send it to the places that had suffered disasters, and he also knew to borrow people from her to deliver the disaster relief funds.
In the past two years, the only major disasters in the country were the tsunami and the snowstorm and cold wave near Kyoto. The others were minor. Yun Xi paid the system to help solve most of the biggest droughts and floods, so if no one embezzled the 1.2 million taels of silver and sent it to the disaster relief front, it would be enough.
Yun Xi admired the little emperor a little bit for selling his body to raise money, but only a little bit.
"Yun Yi, pick ten plain-looking subordinates to send to Xiu'er, and then pick thirty skilled ones to help the young emperor deliver the disaster relief money."
Yun Yi clasped his fists in agreement.
Nanny Yue said worriedly, "Your Majesty, with only Xiang Er, Yun Yi and six others by your side, isn't that too few?"
The robots purchased in the system mall have no male or female characteristics, so people like Yun Yi are definitely eunuchs in the eyes of others, so there is no gossip at all. At most, people think that there are too many eunuchs around Yun Xi, and these eunuchs are just taller than ordinary people.
"It's okay. Xiang Er is worth many people by himself. You don't have to worry."
The little emperor had been assassinated, wasn't she afraid? She was very scared, but as long as Xiang Er was by her side, she had nothing to fear.
Nanny Yue said nothing more, "Master, it's my turn to teach. I'll go first."
"Go."
After everyone left, Yun Xi took out her high school textbooks and started copying them. She still remembered some math knowledge from junior high school, but had almost returned all the high school knowledge to the teacher. She could only post a reward on the system to buy a complete set of books for the three years of high school.
The knowledge in it is profound and extensive, so you don't need to copy it all. Just copy the important parts and leave the rest to the group of students to study. How far they can study it depends on their luck.
?
In the Jinshen Hall of the imperial palace, the young emperor came into close contact with Yun Yi and his group for the first time, and was bewildered by their selfless temperament.
"Send these to the south..."
The little emperor observed for a long time but couldn't figure out anything. Finally, he could only explain clearly and let them take the silver and leave.
"Zhang Lai, how much silver is left in my private vault?"
"Your Majesty, apart from the various treasures, there are still 10 million taels of silver."
"Okay! You take good care of it for me, and ask Liu Ying to come over." The little emperor was not without a plan in his mind. After all, the late emperor had kept him by his side before his death and taught him by cramming for two months.
This resulted in the young emperor always doing things in a haphazard manner. Recently, he remembered what the late emperor said, that he must have his own people to protect himself, so he prepared to start training people.
Liu Ying soon arrived outside the hall and the little emperor asked him to come in quickly.
"Your servant Liu Ying pays respects to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty."
"Mr. Liu, please stand up quickly."
The little emperor gave Zhang a helping hand from a distance and asked him to find a seat.
"Liu Daban, before my father left, he said you were trustworthy. It's a shame that I only just remembered it now. I hope you won't blame me."
Liu Ying was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground, a trace of helplessness flashing across her puffy face. "The thunder and rain are all grace from the Lord. I dare not have any other thoughts."
"Hurry up, why are you kneeling again? I know you are all looking forward to seeing me. I am planning to form a team of highly skilled martial artists to protect me. I have given this matter a lot of thought and decided to leave it to you. You are reliable and loyal, so I trust you."
Liu Ying, who had lowered her head, was shocked. Her eyes lit up and she bowed deeply. "I will definitely handle this matter for Your Majesty."
"Okay, let's talk about the details."
?
"Master, this is Wang Zhouyue, the eldest granddaughter of General Wang Yinsuo, the Great Zhenbei General. She is thirteen years old."
"My daughter, Wang Zhouyue, the grandson of General Zhenbei, will perform for the Empress Dowager."
"Okay, please."
Today is the monthly exam of the Women's College. Li Ke thought that since the Queen Mother was here, it would be a good opportunity for her to see the children's grades, so he made a suggestion. Yun Xi thought that since she was free anyway, it would be okay to come and take a look.
Wang Zhouyue played a piece of music called "High Mountains and Flowing Water" with superb skills, which sounded like the ethereal music of immortals.
Yun Xi rewarded her with a precious guqin, and tried to be fair and just in rewarding her, not considering her family background but her ability. Those with good talents were rewarded with precious things, those with average talents were rewarded with gold peanuts, gold ingots and the like, and those with really poor talents were just given a few words of encouragement.
It's a way to win people's hearts.
After two days of hard work, all the assessments were completed. Yun Xi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Ke, who had a calm expression.
"Principal Li, I see there's no math test today?"
Li Ke said respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The math test will be included in the next monthly exam. The children have only studied for ten days this time, so there is no schedule."
"Okay, we need to take this matter more seriously. Girls will also need it when they get married and become the head of the household."
"Yes."
After staying in the women's college for half a month, the weather gradually became warmer. Since the beginning of this year, there has been good weather and good harvests. Yun Xi took her people to live in each farm, inspected the farms, dealt with some careless slaves, and by the way, contracted out the land in two large farms and distributed it to tenants for cultivation as a pilot project of land reform, but there was no way to get the land deeds.
"You can cultivate the land well. It's up to you to do whatever you want. You can pay the rent to the court as usual. As for me, I will pay a 10% protection fee every year to help you with those heavy taxes. I can't help you with anything else. You can pick and fish as much as you want from the mountains and rivers. It's up to you to earn as much as you want. If you cut down a tree, you will get five more. There will be no other changes."
Military service and labor service will continue as normal as before.
After Yun Xi finished speaking, the tenants showed all kinds of expressions. Most of them were surprised and then delighted, while some were at a loss and only reacted after being reminded by the people around them.
Nanny Yue frowned deeply. The mountain products, fruit trees, land, and livestock in these two farms could produce an annual income of more than 10,000 taels. Just giving them away like that? It wouldn't be good.
"I'm doing an experiment. Yue'er, don't worry." Yun Xi comforted her, "I want to see if this will make their lives better."
It turned out to be a good deed. Nanny Yue was relieved. God is merciful and it is the duty of the Empress Dowager to do good deeds.
"Empress Dowager, urgent news from the court."
"what?"
Looking at the person running over from a distance to report the news, Yun Xi had a bad feeling.
The man was so tired that he couldn't breathe. "Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, urgent news from the southeast!"
Nanny Yue was extremely anxious. "Quickly give him some water to calm him down and let him talk!"
