After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Chapter 801 Living in wealth and honor

An hour later.

Liu Ji put down his pen, spread out a detailed list on the table, and motioned for Qin Yao to take a look.

It states the approximate population of Kyoto City, which should be 200,000.

If you want to build a big stage, at least more than half of the people must participate in it to be considered big.

In other words, more than 100,000 people need to be mobilized.

Therefore, after excluding those established aristocratic families who have been opposing the Queen, only 70% of the people left to mobilize are available.

Among these 70%, Liu Ji circled two names in particular.

One is the eldest princess Baili Nihuang.

As long as she is persuaded and the eldest princess speaks down, most of the officials in Kyoto can be mobilized.

Not only that, the eldest princess also has 20,000 palace guards in the suburbs of Beijing who can be mobilized.

This adds up to 50,000 people.

The other is Lu Xiaofeng.

Liu Ji knew that his younger brother also had a bunch of dandy boys who were watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

As long as these young men are persuaded to help agitate the people in the city, they can easily recruit 80,000 to 90,000 people.

Coupled with Wang Jin, Qi Yushi, Master Ding and others who were already familiar with each other, the stage was easily set up.

After listening to this, Qin Yao was very satisfied with this action plan.

"Elder Princess, leave it to me. You can take the money and go find Lu Xiaofeng, Wang Jin, and Master Ding."

Liu Ji excitedly picked up the money box and rushed out of the house without delaying for a moment.

If you want to achieve great things, you must seize the opportunity.

If we don't take advantage of the current popularity of these two palace requests, we can quickly set up a stage for the Queen's enthronement.

I'm afraid there will never be such a good opportunity again.

Liu Ji left the house and went straight to the teahouse on the bank of the moat, where he accurately caught Lu Xiaofeng bragging to others.

"Brother, why are you here?" Lu Xiaofeng was very surprised.

Since the last time I played gongs and drums to celebrate Liu Ji's passing the imperial examination, he was beaten up instead.

Lu Xiaofeng has not seen his eldest brother for five months.

But it would be a lie to say that Lu Xiaofeng never wanted to see her eldest brother again.

It's just that he let out all the cruel words, and in order not to make people laugh, he had to hold on.

Seeing Liu Ji actually running to the teahouse to look for him in person, Lu Xiaofeng's hard shell of disguise instantly collapsed.

Before Liu Ji could say anything, he hugged his eldest brother and cried.

Liu Ji was so annoyed that he quickly pushed the person away from him and dragged him to a deserted place.

Liu Ji held Lu Xiaofeng's shoulders tightly and said to him seriously:

"Brother Feng, eldest brother is going to give you a fortune that will bring you great wealth today!"

Lu Xiaofeng, who had finally stopped crying, shed two more moved tears when she heard this.

The young man grabbed his elder brother's arm tightly, and nodded seriously without asking about wealth:

"If the elder brother gives you orders, the younger brother is at your disposal!"

Anyway, he knew that his eldest brother would never harm him.

Liu Ji successfully mobilized the general Lu Xiaofeng with almost no effort.

She took out ten coins from the one hundred thousand taels of silver and bought two meat buns. Each of the two brothers ate one. Lu Xiaofeng wanted to go to the mountains of swords and the sea of ​​fire for her eldest brother.

What?

Brother, are you saying that you want to encourage the people in the city to build a grand stage for the Queen of Heaven to ascend the throne?

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for only a moment, and then she clasped her fists and said, "Brother, if we want to be rich and noble, don't forget each other!"

Liu Ji replied: "Brother Feng, I will never let you down!"

The two hugged happily, whispered to each other for a while, and then dispersed.

Lu Xiaofeng went to find her gang of friends, intending to use some coercion and inducement to help her elder brother spend all the money in his hands.

Liu Ji, taking advantage of the darkness, dropped notes at the homes of Mr. Ding and Qi Yushi respectively.

It says exactly the same thing: The queen has ascended to the big stage. If you want to make progress, come here!

Master Ding was stunned, holding the note, and suffered all night.

Qi Yushi was so angry that he wanted to smash the wall next door, and cursed in his heart: This is another way of forcing people to make things difficult, cutting first and then showing off.

There was no chance for him to refuse. Once you get on the pirate ship, don't get off again.

Liu Ji had a busy day, hiding his merit and fame. He got into a dog hole in the middle of the night to avoid curfew inspections, and then returned home.

When I came to the door of my wife's room, I saw no one in the house.

Liu Ji wasn't worried either, thinking that the lady would stay at the eldest princess's mansion tonight.

Oh no, she should be called Princess Zhenguo now.

The title given by the new emperor after he ascends the throne.

Liu Ji was very assured of his wife's strength.

He gestured towards the empty bedroom as he had accidentally seen Qin Yao doing to his children - a gesture of sincerity.

She shook her bangs off her forehead and went back to the house to sleep.

at the same time.

Over there at the Princess's Mansion.

The eldest princess, who had just finished her official duties, washed herself and went to bed to rest, waved her hand to dismiss the palace attendants, and walked into the inner hall in a relaxed manner.

The prince-in-law took the children back to his hometown in Longyang to accompany his grandparents. The housekeeper Jin Yuanniang was worried that the eldest princess would be lonely at night, so she specially arranged for a piano player to come and accompany her.

The faint sound of the piano came from the inner hall, a song about a lover who wants to see but cannot.

The eldest princess stopped outside the screen and listened for a while, reflecting on whether she was a neglected violinist recently, so she could play such a piece of music.

But as I listened, the plaintive music suddenly contained a bit of sadness and panic.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the eldest princess's ears twitched slightly, and she heard the lingering sound of the trembling strings.

I was tired after a busy day with official duties.

After finally getting ready to relax and go to bed, I still have to listen to this sad and sad music.

The interest that had just arisen in the eldest princess's heart disappeared instantly.

She strode across the screen and opened her mouth to call the piano player away.

Suddenly I caught a glimpse of a man wearing a long hat sitting on the couch in front of the violinist.

Holding the golden bronze sword she collected in her hand, the tip of the sword was pointed at the luthier, the air was filled with cold air.

The eldest princess's heart beat wildly and she quickly calmed down.

"Who is coming?" she asked angrily.

From the corner of his eye, he was already looking for an exit.

The music suddenly stopped.

The violinist exclaimed in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, save me."

At this time, the sword pointed at him suddenly put away.

A chuckle came from under the long power fence, "I came at an unlucky time and disturbed His Majesty's pleasure."

The eldest princess looked sharply, "Qin Yao, it's you?"

The power fence on the head was taken off, revealing Qin Yao's smiling face.

She glanced at the outstanding-looking piano player and said apologetically: "I just wanted to wait for His Highness here. I didn't expect him to come in, and I accidentally scared people."

The eldest princess breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand, signaling the violinist to leave.

The violinist was still confused, "Your Highness?"

The eldest princess' tone was cold, "Back off!"

But seeing the aggrieved expression on the piano player's face, the eldest princess raised her forehead in frustration.

Her expression softened a little, and she warned in a gentle voice:

"You go back first and remember not to say anything you shouldn't."

The piano master looked at Qin Yao, who had scared him half to death, and then at the eldest princess, whose voice was soft but her eyes were extremely cold. He took a deep breath and suppressed all emotions.

Salute, take the piano, and retire.

Qin Yao teased: "Your Highness, you are quite gentle."

The eldest princess was very dissatisfied with her sudden behavior. Her warm expression softened and she asked angrily:

"What on earth do you want to do?"

Qin Yao smiled slightly, and under the vigilant gaze of the eldest princess, she approached her and whispered for a while.

After a while, the eldest princess was filled with wonder.

How did the couple Qin Yao and Liu Ji come up with this kind of operation?
