see you tonight princess

Xia Lvsi's bowl of ramen was served simple but made people's index fingers move, Duan Lingge held up the chopsticks and ate the noodles in small bites.Duan Lingge ate very politely and quietly, neither said it was bad nor delicious.Xia Lusi stared at her with bright eyes, like a child greedy for other people's food, and asked her: "Is it good? Is it good?"

Duan Lingge didn't say anything, but she put down her chopsticks after finishing the last bowl of noodles.Xia Lvsi smiled secretly, Her Royal Highness is really reserved, she doesn't say anything, but shows her love with actions.

Xia Lvsi smiled and said: "This bowl of noodles, whether it is beef, flour, chili, oil, or even a handful of shallots and coriander, is all cultivated by me in the willow garden. If my wife likes it, I will I will cook it for you every day from now on."

Hidden poking, poking is all about Duan Lingge's idea of ​​staying here for a few more days because he can't leave.

"En." Duan Lingge didn't know what she was thinking, so he just responded softly and raised his cup to drink tea.

Xiao Zhuzi was naturally extremely clever, and immediately cupped his hands and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness and Your Majesty, it rained really hard yesterday. There was still some water on the road, and it was difficult for a carriage to move. Now, I will hurry up and urge the folks to hurry up and clear the officials." Roads and ditches, and the stone bridge that was washed away yesterday are also urged to step up repairs."

"Heh~" Xiao'e covered her mouth and giggled after hearing this.She could see what Xiao Zhuzi was up to. The princess wanted him to go, and he went to take care of the road, the bridge, and so on. It would take three to five days to repair it.

However, Xiao Zhuzi's wishful thinking had just begun, but Lan Mo came back from the outside.She approached Duan Lingge and reported, "Eldest Princess, there is news from Beiguan! The cavalry of Mobei Kingdom have retreated from Beiguan!"

Xiao'e laughed happily after hearing this: "That's a good thing, we won a big victory!"

Xia Lvsi frowned after hearing this: "Hiss."

Sure enough, Duan Lingge murmured next, "Lan Mo, send me an order to return to court today, and set off now."

"Order."

As soon as Duan Lingge issued the order, everyone acted immediately, and the inside and outside of Liuyuan courtyard became tense and busy.Little Zhuzi was puzzled, and asked Xia Lvsi quietly: "Your Majesty, after winning the battle, why doesn't the princess feel relieved and wants to go back to Zhaoli City immediately?"

Xia Lusi sighed and replied: "Victory means a series of follow-up foreign negotiations, changes to internal policy orders, receptions, rewards, and rewards for soldiers with military merits. Countless things must be carried out immediately. I can't stay for a moment and I can't go back immediately."

"I see." Xiao Zhuzi scratched his head, and knew the importance of the matter, so he resigned and hurried to make arrangements.

Everyone got busy, until noon, Duan Lingge's chariot was ready to stop, the waterlogged places on the road were dredged, and the bridge was consolidated, so that they could pass carefully under the protection of the guards in Jiangzhou City.Xia Lusi and Lan Mo rode together to escort Duan Lingge's carriage all the way back to the pier of Jiangzhou City.

When Duan Lingge was about to board the ship, Xia Lvsi finally felt a little real.It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed, and Xia Lusi couldn't get away. It was the day of spring plowing and transplanting rice seedlings, and yesterday's heavy rain severely damaged several large farms in Jiangzhou City.For Duan Lingge's sake, Xia Lvsi never let the village chiefs bother her. She will get busy as soon as Duan Lingge leaves today, which is related to the most important rice harvest of the year.

So Duan Lingge's boarding of the ship can only be a farewell between the two.Xia Lvsi pursed his lips when he thought of this, and stood aside dejectedly.

On Duan Lingge's side, she was wearing a big red velvet cloak, a golden step and a jade and phoenix crown. All the ministers knelt in front of her and greeted her.Duan Lingge's expression was proud and majestic, she raised her hand and waved away all the officials, the ceremony and music played, and she walked towards the gangway.Then, she stopped by the gangway, where Xialusi was standing.

Xia Lvsi pointed her furry head at Duan Lingge, and whispered, "Princess and lady please."

Duan Lingge pursed her lips, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said slowly, "Aren't you going to say goodbye to me?"

"Oh, bye princess lady!"

Duan Lingge couldn't help smiling, and then her pleasant voice sounded: "Aren't you happy?"

"Ang..." Xia Lusi hummed without answering.

At this time, Ling Ge said something with a very different tone.It sounds like an ordinary sentence, but it secretly sounds like a soft and coaxing tone: "I still remember the poem you read. Maybe today is a hasty farewell, just like your name~ What do you say? Yes or no."

It's a pity that Xia Lusi, who heard this sentence, now has a hundred grievances. This level of coaxing has not touched her point yet.Xia Lusi said leisurely, "What word?"

"The soul of the country is gloomy, chasing the thoughts of the journey. Every night is different, and the good dreams keep people asleep. The bright moon tower sits and leans alone, and the wine turns into tears of lovesickness." Duan Lingge read it softly, and then said with a smile: "The writing is true Well, although it is not suitable for the scene at this moment, but because of your name, it also corresponds to the artistic conception."

"Huh?" Xia Lvsi looked up suddenly.I couldn't hide my surprise on my face, ouch, this serious princess sister is really euphemistic. The second half of this que is about sorrow and lovesickness, and Duan Lingge actually used it to read it to her. .

"Hey, hey," Xia Lvsi reached out and quietly grabbed Duan Lingge's skirt, and asked in a low voice with a smile: "Lingge's artistic conception, does it mean that you will miss me too? Isn't it, isn't it!"

Duan Lingge didn't speak, but just smiled and slapped Xia Lusi on the back of the hand with one hand, breaking her tugging and tugging in full view: "Don't talk nonsense, pay attention to etiquette."

"Oh." Xia Lvsi let go of her hand with a sigh.

But in the next second, Duan Lingge took out a bright green peach from the silk bag embroidered with peony patterns with gold thread around his waist.Duan Lingge smiled at Xia Lvsi, "Monkey, I'll give you peaches."

Xia Lvsi took the peach that Duan Lingge gave her in a daze.What is peach operation?This is too... to coax children.It was like coaxing her like a child and feeding her when she was crying.

"Haha! My wife is so cute!" Xia Lusi swept away the depression in Caicai's chest just now, and couldn't help laughing.

This peach is very special. It is a peach tree that naturally grows on the roof of a He Xiangu temple in Jiangzhou.Every autumn it blooms and winter bears fruit, and in early spring it grows into several beautiful peaches.Moreover, this peach has a fairy spirit, it grows in the book, birds do not eat it, and insects do not bite, so although the peach is not big, it is round and lovely, beautiful in color and attractive in aroma, when it is ripe, it can be smelled from a distance See the fragrance of fairy peaches on the top of He Xiangu Temple.

The local people are never willing to eat it, and only regard the fairy peach as a good omen for the coming of spring. After they are picked, they are enshrined to He Xiangu in the temple. Picking peaches is a top priority in the local area every year.

The day before yesterday when Duan Lingge visited the local area, it was the last stop in Jiangzhou. Just when the peaches were ripe, the magistrate of Jiangzhou led various officials to present two He Xiangu fairy peaches to Duan Lingge.

Duan Lingge ate peaches on the spot in front of the officials and the common people as a reward for their loyalty.Xia Lusi just didn't expect that Duan Lingge actually hid a peach in her purse.This is so cute, haha, just like a child, when he was a guest at someone else's house, he ate unfinished snacks and put them in his pocket to bring them home.

"Still laughing. Take it." Duan Lingge patted her lightly, pursed her lips and smiled, turned and boarded the boat, "Xia Lvsi, Zhaoli City is your home, you can come and go as you please."

"Understood, goodbye my wife." Xia Lvsi grinned, still immersed in the joy of discovering Duan Lingge's childish side, finally shed her sorrow of parting, and waved goodbye to Duan Lingge.

-------------------------------------

After Duan Lingge returned to Zhaoli City, she was very busy for a while. Apart from the government affairs that came after the end of the war, she made many plans.

Because of the trip to Jiangzhou, she was inspired a lot.Especially what Xia Lusi told her about how she balanced the power of the local aristocratic clan in Jiangzhou. Xia Lusi silently completed her plan in a way that seemed soft and promising .

Duan Lingge understands that the demise of dynasties in history often touched the interests of vested interests and caused uncontrollable situations, leading to their demise due to unfinished business.To a certain extent, Xia Lusi's approach is very wise. She wants to draw it slowly, boil the frogs in warm water, and then centralize the power when she has enough strength.

Duan Lingge's first plan was still the salt industry.The salt industry in Southern Dian Kingdom was originally controlled by the major aristocratic families. As the most special family among the aristocratic families, the royal family also controlled part of the salt industry, but far from all.Duan Lingge used the official position of "salt envoy" two years ago, intending to force the aristocratic family to pay a large sum of money to purchase "special salt yin" by issuing "special salt yin" to achieve the purpose of taxation and control.

However, the conflict that time was too sharp, and Duan Lingge was slapped hard by Xia Mengfu, who used the inferior method of catching rape in bed to get rid of her "salt envoy", causing the whole plan to go to waste.

This time Duan Lingge decided not to disturb the family, but to start with the merchants under it.

It turns out that in the Southern Dian Kingdom, the aristocratic family controlled the salt mines and sold them to merchants at high prices in order to achieve the purpose of controlling the salt industry and making money.Duan Lingge decided to do the opposite. She wanted to implement a merchant authorization system, as long as she paid a certain fee and passed the official review of her capacity, integrity, and other qualifications. After that, Duan Lingge would control the "wholesale" link and put the unified purchase on the market. The table salt is wholesaled to merchants at a price lower than the market price.In order to encourage merchants to transport and sell, salt adopts a new monopoly model of private production, government revenue, commercial transportation, and commercial sales.

Duan Lingge's approach aroused the enthusiasm of salt merchants. After they wholesaled salt, they would determine a reasonable price. In order to make more money, merchants often traveled across mountains and mountains, and went deep into remote areas to serve the people.And the central government can also use this method to stabilize part of the tax revenue, and then set up official salt sales to sell salt together with ordinary merchants, and then slowly, it becomes the state's participation, growing bigger and bigger, and finally achieving a certain degree of monopoly.

This method is tantamount to drawing fire from the bottom of the pot. The aristocratic families in various parts of Southern Dian Kingdom were beaten a little bit confused, but they could not find a point to fight back, because both the businessmen in the middle link and the people who ultimately consumed all supported Duan Lingge's policy.

Naturally, Xia Mengfu was also jumping in anxiety. He went to the palace many times to discuss matters, and used various methods to intimidate Duan Lingge and Duan Xi, but he did not let Duan Lingge be forced to compromise like before.

On this day, Xia Mengfu entered the Yuanji Hall to discuss matters early in the morning. As a powerful minister with power over the world, Xia Mengfu thought of a very tricky way in front of the eldest princess and the emperor.He made full preparations, the civil and military ministers entered the Yuanji Hall, and were not allowed to leave the meeting until the discussion was pending.

From the morning discussion to noon, Xia Mengfu ordered people to have lunch in the Yuanji Hall, and sat down with Duan Lingge and Duan Xi to continue the discussion after lunch.After killing the afternoon, I finally had dinner.Until the entire Yuanji Hall was brightly lit, it experienced the longest marathon political meeting in history.

Duan Lingge and Duan Xi did not leave the Yuanji Hall for a day. If someone else had done this, they would have been terrified and succumbed.If it had been changed before, Duan Lingge might have been forced to make a compromise due to the situation, but today, she never said anything else, no matter what Xia Mengfu said, she only said: "This matter needs to be discussed in detail."

Just like when Xia Lvsi was crazy before, no matter what she said, she would firmly say "no" and "I don't."

Duan Lingge used it calmly, and she realized that sometimes it was easy to play tricks, but nothing was difficult in the world. ?
