The wives of the concubines are empresses

Wang Qing has been in Jiamusi County for three days and has a deeper understanding of the county's economy.

"Master Jiang."

"Brother Wang, please call me Brother Jiang." Lord Jiang felt too distant and uncomfortable.

Wang Qing was slightly stunned, but knowing his personality and how he dealt with people, he didn't bother to be polite with him.

"Okay, Brother Jiang, I think the economy of your county is still a little poor. There are many items I have never seen before." He visited most of the shops, big and small, and felt that there were too few varieties of goods here, and it was boring to shop there.

"Brother Wang is right, but it is much better now than before. When Master Zhou and I first came here, it was so desolate." It was like this in the city, not to mention those places in the countryside.

Wang Qing sighed: "Hey, the livelihood issue is a big problem, why don't we talk about this?"

"Okay, as long as Brother Wang doesn't mind."

"What do you mean by dislike or not? Those are just talk between brothers."

The two chatted about everything from shops and stalls to the countryside, and Wang Qing frowned more and more as he listened.

"This is the case in Jiamusi County alone. The country is so vast, and there are countless other places where people are suffering."

Jiang Chengkun nodded: "Brother Wang is absolutely right. My current abilities are limited, so I can only do what I can for the people of Jiamusi County."

"Do your best, the Empress will see it." Jiang Chengkun smiled bitterly. He knew that being an official was hard, but he didn't expect it to be so hard. He felt it was unbearable, and the people were probably even worse.

"I heard that men and women in your county can receive benefits after getting married. Is this true?" The method is not bad, but it doesn't seem like something his brother would come up with.

"That's true. Brother Wang has also heard about it. It seems we are famous now, haha."

"No matter how you become famous, it's a good thing for you anyway."

"That's true. Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."

"Brother Jiang, that's great."

On the third day, Wang Qing bought a large shop with two floors and an area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

Jiang Chengkun stood there, somewhat confused: "Brother Wang, what kind of business are you planning to make?"

"Collect the vegetables and fruits grown by the people and sell them." They take them to distant places to sell. Some can be made into pickles, and some can be dried.

"That's good. We can just let the people come and sell them. They can collect them in a special area and it will be easier for them to find them. Thank you so much, Brother Wang, for taking so much trouble." Wang Qing waved his hand. A place of peace and harmony is a place of peace and harmony. After all, they don't have the ability to help other places.

Shangguan Wanjun often received secret reports from the guards and secret guards, and each of them was also developing their own connections to provide her with strong financial resources and talents.

I have to say that Shangguan Wanjun is very smart. Her intelligence can be divided into two types: one is on the surface, which is small cleverness; the other is in secret, which is great cleverness.

She can play a good game of chess by herself, but occasionally she needs someone else to play with her so that she can experience the learning process.

After reviewing the memorials, Shangguan Wanjun moved around a little and felt her bones were about to go numb.

"It's a beautiful sunny day today. Please accompany me for a walk." The imperial concubines stood up and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Their emperor is quite good at managing his time and combining work and rest, which is quite good.

There are many flowers and plants in summer, and it is nice to enjoy the flowers and scenery.

"How do you usually spend your time?"

The beautiful concubine, Hu Siyang, was the first to reply: "My husband usually studies food and plants, and he lives a good life."

"Gourmet food? My beloved, do you want to be a gourmet?"

The beautiful concubine Hu Siyang smiled gently: "Your Majesty has revealed the truth."

Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao said: "My husband usually reads books."

"Poetry and songs?"

"I also read storybooks occasionally."

"My beloved concubine also reads storybooks? What do you read?"

Seeing the emperor's interested look, Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao was stunned.

"Does the Emperor also watch it on weekdays?"

"It doesn't hurt to read it occasionally. Maybe you can learn something from it." After all, vernacular books are different from poems and songs. They all rely on people's imagination.

Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao was slightly stunned: Can you learn something from reading a storybook? Could it be that he didn't pay attention?

The next day, Concubine Kang-Su Kangqiao actually brought a few storybooks to Shangguan Wanjun.

"Your Majesty, I have read these books and they are all good. Please read them in your spare time."

Shangguan Wanjun took it and glanced at it: "Okay, thank you, my beloved."

That’s great! I have one more thing to do in my free time.

Concubine Ran - Wang Ran, Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua, and Concubine Zhou - Zheng Zhouxing looked at each other. Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua looked at Shangguan Wanjun who was handling memorials.

"emperor."

The three imperial husbands looked at him at the same time. What's the matter with this Concubine Hua?

Shangguan Wanjun raised her eyes and looked at him puzzledly.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to say that the farm has opened for business. Your Majesty, would you like to go and take a look?"

Shangguan Wanjun was slightly stunned: "Zhuangzi?"

Which manor? How could she have no impression of it? Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua knew at a glance that the emperor had forgotten.

"It's the manor we built together." After his reminder, Shangguan Wanjun had some impression.

"Oh, how's business?"

"Not bad. Your Majesty, would you like to take a look?"

Shangguan Wanjun glanced down at the desk and said, "I'm afraid I can't go."

"It's okay, we can speed up."

"also."

The three imperial concubines were stunned and had no choice but to speed up. It would have taken two hours to process the memorial, but Shangguan Wanjun and the others finished it in just one hour, an efficiency so high that even they themselves found it absurd.

Everyone took a carriage to a farm outside the capital to appreciate the lotus flowers. Shangguan Wanjun sat in Huapin-Tang Yihua's carriage and stared at Huapin-Tang Yihua. The other imperial husbands all sat in their own carriages.

Shangguan Wanjun felt a little embarrassed and took the initiative to find a topic: "How many times have you been here?"

"Your Majesty, this has happened dozens of times, and it's usually supervised by his subordinates on weekdays."

She nodded slightly, and there seemed to be an awkward atmosphere in the air again, which Huapin-Tang Yihua also felt.

"Your Majesty, we have lotus seeds. Do you want to pick them later?"

"Lotus seeds? I don't think I've ever picked them before." You can try it, I wonder if it's fun.

"You can try it."

The carriage arrived at Lotus Pond Manor. Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua got off the carriage first, and Shangguan Wanjun put her hand on his big hand and got off.

"Madam, go slowly." When they go out, they use the common people's terms of address.

Looking at the four big characters "Lotus Pond Manor" on the door plaque, Shangguan Wanjun smiled slightly.

"Let's go."

The four imperial husbands followed, and Shangguan Wanjun admired the scenery along the way. Looking at the quaint buildings and designs, she nodded with satisfaction.

"It's not bad here."

Huapin Tang Yihua was very happy to receive the praise.

"Madam, the lotus pond is over there." Everyone looked in the direction of his finger and walked towards it.

The pink lotus flowers in the pond are blooming one after another, there are lotus buds and lotus seeds that are about to bloom, and the large lotus leaves sway slightly in the breeze, just like dancing girls.

"This place is really nice. Have you ever had lotus root?"

Concubine Hua - Tang Yihua shook her head: "No."

Looking at the small wooden boat, Shangguan Wanjun felt a little weak.

"Will I fall down?" She didn't know how to paddle, and although she could swim, she didn't want to be like a lotus emerging from clear water.
