In the year of disaster, the tough peasant girl is not easy to mess with

The palace maid who led the way also breathed a sigh of relief.

The people around him just thought that someone wanted to ask for advice on sword dancing, and didn't think much about it.

Continue watching the singing and dancing and chatting with each other.

After a while, Jin Furong came back. When she saw that Ye Lingyao was no longer there, her face turned pale with fright.

He hurriedly asked the people around him, "Madam, have you seen where my lady has gone? I just went out for a while, why is she missing?"

That person naturally knew that the Anguo County Lord was someone who had just shown his face in front of the emperor, and she naturally could not offend him.

Where possible, it is better to make good friends.

So he smiled and replied, "Girl, don't be anxious. Your young lady was just called away by Miss Xu Xinyue from Xin'an Bo Mansion. She should be back soon."

Jin Hibiscus nodded as if relieved.

"That's good, as long as someone follows you, but where should I look for it now?"

But the lady stopped her, "They just went out to have a conversation and will be back in a while. If you go out to look for them, you might miss them, so why not just wait here."

Jin Furong thought for a while and agreed, then stood aside and waited for Ye Lingyao to come back.

Princess Tonghua watched her leave and felt a little anxious when she saw Jin Furong coming back. She had looked for several opportunities just now to talk about this matter, but she never found the opportunity.

It seemed inappropriate for her to bring it up so abruptly.

Just when she was anxious, someone at the prince's table opposite spoke.

"Tong Hua, I saw you sitting at the seat of Anguo County Chief before. Seeing that you are so familiar with her, could it be that we have known each other for a long time?"

This sentence attracted a lot of attention, and many people looked at the two of them.

Princess Tonghua looked up and saw Huo Xinglan's face.

She rolled her eyes and an idea came to her mind, "Yes, A-Yao and I have known each other for a long time and have been in contact with each other these years."

Huo Xinglan raised his eyebrows, "Really? This makes people a little curious. Why haven't I heard you say this before? If I had known that this person had such ability, he should have been used by the court."

Tong Hua quickly said, "Actually, these years are just the connection between the younger daughters. Besides, I couldn't believe it at the time. She, a little farm girl, could come up with so many things. She told me before , can increase food production by two times, don’t I believe it?”

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.

He stared at Princess Tonghua with burning eyes, "What did you say?"

Tonghua was startled, but he still followed what she said, "Uncle Huang, I have only ever heard her say that the food grown at her home is always better than that grown by others, and the whole The grain output in Anyang County is excellent, but I don’t know whether it is true or false.”

As soon as these words came out, the singing and dancing on the field stopped and they all retreated. Everyone's eyes were focused on Princess Tonghua.

Princess Tonghua felt the pressure doubled and said quickly, "If the emperor wants to know, he might as well ask Ayao to tell him directly. Tonghua really can't explain the reason."

Afterwards, everyone turned their attention to the Anguo County Lord.

The seat given to the owner of Baiwei House was at the end. Although the county owners had been reassigned just now, it would be too troublesome to move the seat further forward, so she did not waste the effort.

At the moment, everyone only saw that the seat was empty. Where was the figure of Anguo County Lord?

The emperor asked, "Where is the Lord of Anguo County?"

Jin Furong hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "To return to the emperor, a palace maid came just now. She said she was Miss Xu Xinyue from Xin'an Bo Mansion. She wanted to ask the county master to go out to talk. She hasn't come back yet."

The emperor nodded and did not hesitate anymore. At this moment, the matter of the Ministry of Finance was mentioned, so he turned his attention to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

"Tang Aiqing, you are in charge of the household department, do you know anything about taxation in Anyang County?"

Tang Qian wiped cold sweat, he was really worried and couldn't help it.

Fortunately, he thought quickly. When he heard that the Anguo County Lord was the previous Anyang County Lord, he had already gone through the situation in Anyang County in his mind.

For some things that I couldn't remember, I asked my subordinates around me to help me remember them, and finally I remembered everything.

Sure enough, he was now asked by the emperor. If he couldn't answer it, I'm afraid he would be scolded on this great day.

"Going back to the emperor, in terms of tax revenue in the past two years, Anyang County's tax revenue is indeed much higher than in previous years, about twice as high. Moreover, not only is the food tax revenue there, but the overall tax revenue is also higher than other countries. The county is much higher. I heard that several workshops have been built there and the people are considered wealthy."

The emperor had a smile on his face, "Not bad, not bad! I didn't expect the Anguo County Lord to have such ability. He really deserves the name of Anguo."

But at this moment, he urgently wanted to know whether the idea of ​​increasing food production was true.

If this can really improve so much, then they don't have to worry about food in the future.

The current situation is not stable. If there is a war or something, food is their capital.

The emperor quickly said, "Cao Ran, go and find the owner of Anguo County for me personally. I want to ask you about this matter."

Cao Ran's face was also very happy, and he went out happily.

However, after a while, Cao Ran ran in with a look of panic.

He ran to the emperor and whispered, "Your Majesty, something bad has happened! Someone saw the Anguo County Lord and a man entering the side hall of Qin'an Palace. I just went there and heard what was going on inside. Alas... I don't dare to Said, I am afraid of dirtying the emperor’s ears.”

The emperor looked shocked, "How is this possible? It's simply wanton!"

Naturally, the Empress also heard these words and quickly comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. We haven't had time to verify what exactly this matter is. It's not appropriate to jump to conclusions. You should know the truth of the matter."

The queen was also a little nervous. The emperor was angry just now, so he became a little anxious.

He had just awarded the title of Princess Anguo, and praised her as the best in the world. If there was any scandal, wouldn't this be a slap in the emperor's face?

Not everyone can use the word Anguo. If this is taken seriously, if there is a scandal, the Anguo County Lord will probably be deposed.

She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go over and have a look in person right now."

Just as she was about to get up, she saw a palace maid coming in in a panic and kneeling in the main hall, saying loudly, "Empress, something has happened. Lord Anguo County, she..."
