Chapter 880: Mind (2)
Yan Wushuang returned to the palace with a cold face. It wasn't until he drank a bowl of iced sour plum soup that Yan Wushuang lowered his anger a little.
Meng Nian rushed to the study when he heard the news, looked at Yan Wushuang's ugly look and asked, "Lord Wang, but what happened?" "It is definitely not an ordinary trivial matter to make his prince so angry.
Yan Wushuang threw the official letter sent by the northwest to Meng Nian.
After Meng Nian finished reading it, his expression was not good-looking: "Lord, could it be that our inquiry into the water dragon was known by the husband and wife of the prince of Pingxi?" That's why this trick is used. "Anyway, no one believes that 'Jade' Hee will be so public and selfless.
Yan Wushuang said coldly: "This 'female' person, her mind is getting deeper and deeper. "Although the official letter was sent in the name of Yunqing, Yan Wushuang knew very well in his heart that this official letter was what Han 'Yu' Xi meant. Because of Yunqing, there is not such a deep mind.
Meng Nian smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, this 'female' person is too 'treacherous'. She has now told us word for word about the cultivation and planting methods of artichoke seeds, as well as the precautions, and we must accept her affection. "The problem is that they already know these things, but they haven't put them on the table in a 'private' situation.
Yan Wu put his hands on the table and pressed down hard, and said in annoyance: "We have to buy this water sucking dragon if we don't buy it." "This water sucking dragon is so useful, if they don't buy it, there will be a drought in the future, and everyone will only complain about him. Because the price is not high, it is his fault that he does not buy it.
Meng Nian nodded and said, "One hundred thousand taels of silver is not expensive. But Lord Wang, she should want to make a name for herself, right? "If his guess is correct, the things mentioned in this letter will be spread all over the streets tomorrow. Many people may not care about the water sucking dragon, but the people will definitely be very concerned about the artichoke. The people take food as the sky, this artichoke can fill the stomach and the yield is high, but the people don't like it!
Yan Wushuang shook his head and said, "You are right, she just wants to earn fame." As long as she has a reputation as a public and non-selfish, she can use this to attract talents. "The most lacking talent in the Northwest is this, and Yan Wushuang is also very clear about this. It's just that the northwest is ruled by Han 'Yu' Xi, and these people are still hesitating. However, as far as Yan Wushuang knew, there were already some people who were 'wanting' to move. After this incident spreads, there will definitely be people who go to the northwest to defect to Yunqing and Han 'Yu' Xi.
Speaking of this, Yan Wushuang suddenly smiled and said, "If my guess is not wrong, Yu 'Chun' Hao should have also received such an official letter." "Jiangnan produces talents, since Han 'Yu' Xi wants to recruit talents, how can he let Jiangnan go!
Meng Nian's expression was a little dignified, and he said: "Princess Pingxi herself has the means and scheming, if we recruit more useful talents, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with in the future."

In fact, not only 'Yu' Xi can't recruit talents, but Yan Wushuang can't also recruit talents. 'Yu' Xi is because of the identity of a 'woman' and those with insight disdain to defect to her, while Yan Wushuang is because of his reputation for killing kings. However, Yan Wushuang's advantage over 'jade' Xi is that the capital is also full of talents. Even if many talented people are unwilling to do things for Yan Wushuang in their hearts, they will be 'forced' by the shape shì to agree. But forced versus voluntary, the situation is completely different.
Yan Wushuang said: "It's useless to worry, just let it be!" "If Han 'Jade' Hee is a man, then his chances of winning will definitely be small. But Han 'Yu' Xi is a 'female', and she is a 'female' who is dependent on Yun Qingcai's rule, which is her fatal weakness.
Although the previous strategies had failed, Yan Wushuang was not discouraged. He didn't believe that Yun Qing and Han 'Yu' Xi really had a better relationship than Jin Jian, as long as there was any loosening, he would be able to find an opportunity.
As Yan Wushuang expected, the matter in the official letter spread throughout the capital in less than three days. When ordinary people got the news, most of them wanted to buy artichoke seeds and go back to planting. With such a high-yield crop, as long as three or five acres of land are planted, a family of three or four can eat for a year.
Zhong Shantong got the news and asked Tie Kui with a suspicious look: "Why did King Pingxi do this?" "Don't talk about planting artichokes, just talk about the water-absorbing dragon, is there still a shortage of 100,000 taels of silver in the northwest?
Tie Kui thought more deeply than Zhong Shantong, and said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver is just an excuse, and the northwest is not short of this money." Princess Pingxi should have done this to change the views of civil and military officials and the common people on the northwest. "In the eyes of everyone, the northwest is a bitter cold place for drinking the blood of 'Mao'. Yu'xi did this to let everyone know that the northwest was no longer what it used to be.
Zhong Shantong still didn't understand, and asked: "Even if you know that there are new crops with high yields in the northwest, what can you change?" β
Tie Kui was not very clear in his heart, and said: "It may be that they want everyone to know that they have the capital to compete in the world, or they may want to use this to attract talents." The real intention is only known to Princess Pingxi herself. "As Yan Wushuang thought, Tie Kui also thought that this matter was the meaning of 'jade' Xi. There is no way, in everyone's mind, Yunqing is a person who is good at fighting but not good at planning.
Zhong Shantong couldn't help but sigh: "Kuizi, what did you say this Pingxi princess grew up eating, why do you think so much?" This one came out and the other, and even King Yan suffered a few dark losses. "The one who can make Yan Wushuang suffer, 'Jade' Xi is the first.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "I heard that Princess Pingxi has a spiritual 'medicine' in her hand, and it should be because of the spiritual 'medicine'. "It's just a joke. Scheming is something that is either born or cultivated, and cannot be changed by external forces. Tie Kui felt that 'Jade' Hee should be born.
Zhong Shantong sneered and said, "Who are you fooling!" Taishang Laojun's panacea 'medicine' has no such effect. β
Tie Kui couldn't help but laugh. Watching Yan Wushuang eat deflated, Tie Kui was in a good mood.
'Yu' Xi, who was talked about by everyone, was reprimanding Liu Er with a cold face at this time: "My mother asked you to walk around the 'flower' garden in the hope that you can walk more to improve your physique." You're doing it now, and you're fooling yourself. In the morning, Liu Er took a shortcut and walked a third less distance.
Liu Er said aggrievedly: "Mother, my 'leg' hurts. "It's not easy to persist for three days.
'Yu' Xi said: "When your sister practiced the exercises, she often fell and her whole body was blue and purple, and sometimes she was 'whipped' if she didn't meet your grandfather's requirements. You just walked a little bit and complained bitterly, Liu'er, you disappointed your mother too much. β
It was the first time for Liu Er to hear such heavy words, and tears fell from her eyes. 'Jade' Hee didn't seem to see it, and still sat upright in his chair.
Liu Er cried for a while, and when she saw that 'Yu' Xi didn't react at all, she became more and more aggrieved in her heart: "Mother, I didn't mean to take a detour, I really can't walk." β
'Yu' Xi said: "You can't walk, you can take a break and continue walking." Liu'er, no matter what you do, as long as you do it, you have to stick to the end, and you can't give up halfway. This time, my mother will punish you for not being allowed to touch the musical instrument for three days. "Everyone has weaknesses, the weakness of jujube is food, and the weakness of liu'er is musical instruments.
Liu Er sighed: "Why? "Liu'er's favorite thing to do every day is to learn to play the piano and flute.
"There is no why. If you do this next time, you will not be allowed to touch the instrument for ten days. There will be a next time, just a month. β
Liu Er felt that she was really tragic.
Seeing this, 'Yu' Xi thought about it and said: "But as long as you are in good health, the time to learn the piano and flute in the future can also be extended." "Liu Er spent half an hour reading and reading in the morning, half an hour learning the piano, and half an hour learning the flute in the afternoon. In addition, there is still a lot of time left in the day, and Liu Er wants to use it to practice the piano and play the flute, but because of her health, 'Yu' Xi did not agree.
Liu Er's eyes lit up, she looked at 'Yu' Xi and asked, "Mother, is it really?" "It was an unexpected surprise.
'Yu' Xi nodded and said, "Mother naturally counts when she speaks." But you'll have to stick with it for three months. After three months, if the doctor says that your health has improved, my mother will let you learn the instrument for an extra hour every day. β
Liu Er nodded and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will insist." "It's just a walk around the 'flower' garden, and she can finish it.
'Yu' Xi 'touched' Liu'er's head and said, "Mother believes that Liu'er can do it." Liu Er couldn't do it and she watched, so she said it just to encourage the child.
Liu Er burst into tears and smiled: "Mother, I will definitely be able to do it." "If you can't do it, you have to do it! She can't change her mother's attitude even if she suffers every day, so it's better to go honestly.
After coaxing Liu'er, 'Yu' Xi also breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Quan Mama: "I won't give birth to another one, it's so tiring to raise a child." "There are so many things that I don't have much time to teach my children. But giving birth without raising is also irresponsible to the child. 'Yu' Xi thinks that it will be enough to add another brother to Qi Hao.
Mama Quan smiled and said, "Then you have to make sure that the next child is a son." "Because of Qihao, I no longer shy away from saying that I have a 'daughter'.
'Yu' Xi smiled and said, "How can this be guaranteed?" Even the best doctor can't be guaranteed. β
Mama Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "I have collected a few secret recipes for giving birth, if you are willing, you can give it a try." "Because 'Yu' Xi has been giving birth to 'daughters', it makes Mama Quan a little anxious. So she secretly collected a few secret recipes. But before he could use it, Qihao was born.
'Yu' Xi asked with some curiosity, "Is this thing really useful?" Seeing that Mama Quan nodded and said that it was a bit useful, 'Yu' Xi smiled and said: "Qihao is still young, I want to add a younger brother to him and wait for the year after tomorrow." It's a good time to give these recipes a try. If it really works, I'll use it when the time comes. "If all the people who used these recipes gave birth to sons, then she must have used them too.
Mama Quan smiled and said, "Okay." β
As he was talking, Meiyun came over to report that someone from the capital had come. 'Yu' Xi said: "Let Xu Wu entertain them!" "Yu' Xi didn't plan to meet these people.
After a quarter of an hour or so, Meiyun turned back again. Meiyun handed a holy decree to 'Jade' Xi with both hands, and said: "The emperor said that the prince offered a water-absorbing dragon and a recipe for planting artichokes, and specially rewarded him with 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry. β
One hundred thousand taels of silver was originally used to 'trade', but it became a reward by Yan Wushuang like this. The corners of Yu'xi's mouth 'twitched', this Yan Wushuang deliberately came to disgust people. 'Yu' Xi said expressionlessly: "Let people count those jewels to see if they are enough for 100,000 taels." "If it is less than 100,000 taels of silver, 'Yu' Xi will not give Yan Wushuang the drawings for making a zuΓ² water absorption dragon.
Meiyun bowed her head and said, "Yes." β
