The princess' little concubine wants to reconcile [Rebirth]

The eventful autumn is the most direct indication of the busyness in autumn.

In the early years, the Jiangguo water conservancy project allowed most of the farmland to be irrigated by rivers. Now the granaries in various parts of Jiangguo are full, and the people also have a surplus.

As for the taxation policy on merchants and rich families, when the local states and counties were implemented one by one, the initial results have been achieved this autumn, and a large amount of tax money has been gradually included in the national treasury.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Changdai closed the Chinese book in her hand, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In time, as long as Jiang Guo's army practiced diligently and strictly guarded the border areas, they would be able to dominate the world in less than three years.

"Meier?" Jiang Changdai turned her head to look at the person lying on the desk who seemed to be asleep and called out hesitantly.

"Hmm." Liu Meier raised her head in a daze, the red mark on her forehead was particularly clear, making her look a bit naive.

Jiang Changdai reached out and rubbed her forehead with a smile and said, "Since you are sleepy, why don't you go to bed and sleep?"

Liu Meier glanced at the documents that Sister Dai had finished reviewing and said, "Is Sister Dai going to bed too?"

"Ah."

The two of them tidied up briefly before extinguishing all the lamps in the hall, leaving only the long lamp not far from the bed for illumination.

When the blue silk gauze curtain fell, Liu Meier saw sister Dai lying flat with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Naturally, Liu Meier was even more embarrassed to mention other things, so she had to get closer and close her eyes to fall asleep.

When the autumn rain fell, it became colder in late autumn, and Liu Meier, who had been on vacation for half a year, couldn't sit still.

One night, Liu Meier hesitated and proposed to return to work in the Ministry of Industry.

Jiang Changdai looked away from the paperwork and asked puzzledly, "Does Meier feel bored in the mansion?"

Liu Mei'er nodded in response: "Well, I don't have much to do every day, even if I'm a bridesmaid, I only have to lose money."

And because there is no court salary, Liu Meier almost can't afford to pay back her mother's money after losing.

"If you don't have enough money, why don't you get some from me to play." Jiang Changdai knew that Liu Meier was not good at horse hanging, and thought she lost too much money, so she didn't want to play.

Seeing that sister Dai didn't pay attention to what she said earlier about going to work in the Ministry of Industry, Liu Meier naturally couldn't speak again.

When Rishi saw the plate of gold ingots the next day, he was still a little surprised and asked: "These are all given to you by the eldest princess?"

Even if she treats her own children, the Chang family will not spoil her too much, but she did not expect that this eldest princess is very generous.

"En." Liu Meier looked at the gold that was bigger than a slap, and she was also very surprised. After all, who would have thought that sister Dai would give gold ingots directly when she said to play with silver coins.

"I think the Eldest Princess treats you really well." At first, Chang was worried that the Eldest Princess would like the new and dislike the old for her own children, but now she was worrying too much.

This kind of gift is gold, and the rich and powerful families in the capital city don't have such treatment.

Liu Meier was both happy and worried and said seriously: "Sister Dai has always treated Meier very well, but Meier wants to work in the Ministry of Industry, and Sister Dai doesn't seem to be happy."

Although you can avoid the limelight for a while, you can't be a coward for the rest of your life.

"Yi Wei Niang doesn't want to be an official, it's fine." Chang turned her head and looked out at the dark sky, "A companion is like a tiger, and you are married to the eldest princess again. If there are too many detours, there is no guarantee that something bigger will happen."

"But if I stay in the mansion all the time, I won't be able to help sister Dai." Liu Meier tore off the ointment and carefully stuck it on Chang's knee, hesitating.

Autumn rain and spring rain are both extremely damp and cold, and the old man's bones are prone to severe pain, so Liu Meier often changed Chang's ointment.

Chang looked at the child beside her lap and said with a smile: "Perhaps the eldest princess doesn't need Meier to do anything."

Chang's naturally understood the pure and kind nature of her children.

But Mei'er married Princess Jiang, who held great power, and she was tired of seeing any kind of glorious and wealthy princess, so it would be better to have a simpler one.

Liu Meier looked up at Mrs. Chang and hesitated to speak, so she raised her hand and lightly pinched her leg to think alone.

After Chang's nap in the afternoon, Liu Meier left the courtyard and walked through the corridor holding an umbrella.

The wet and cold rain wetted the vegetation, flowers and birds beside the gravel road, and even the calm lotus pond was made a little dense by the rain like needlework.

It seems that this Wang Lianchi is like Liu Meier's heart.

Liu Meier watched it for a long time before going out to buy medicine for Chang's family.

The time-honored drug store in the capital city has always been the busiest merchant in the capital city. Liu Meier and her servant Xiaofeng entered together.

Liu Meier took out the prescription and her servant Xiaofeng accompanied her to fetch the medicine. There was a strong smell of herbs in the pharmacy, which made people feel a little dizzy.

There are countless medicine cabinets on the two walls as far as the eye can see, and the medicine apprentices grabbing medicines are diligently shuttling through them.

The whole pharmacy was full of people coming and going, Liu Meier looked at these common people with serious expressions, and her mood was also stained with melancholy.

"Master Liu?" An official from the Ministry of Industry braved the crowd and walked over slowly.

Liu Meier looked at it hesitantly, and then remembered that it was her colleagues who quickly responded: "Master Li, is someone in your family suffering from a disease?"

"We have been reading books all day long, and our eyes are not flexible these days, so we bought some medicinal materials for eyesight." The bureaucrat's robes were stained with a little dark color due to a little rain, and they chatted casually about the construction of a new building by the Ministry of Industry. The plan of the capital, "We have already drawn detailed drawings of the imperial city according to the eldest princess for the construction of the new capital this time. Who would have thought that the ministers would not agree with each other, and some would say that the new capital is too far away to be safe, and then there are those who say that the project will cost a lot. The state treasury, we don’t know what’s going on right now.”

"Where is the new capital going to be this time?" Since Sister Dai seldom mentioned court affairs, it was also the first time Liu Meier heard about it.

"We picked three addresses, and the eldest princess finally decided on Yicheng in the southwest of the capital. Now the officials of the Ministry of Industry are a little bit discouraged. After all, the courtiers have such a big reaction. Maybe there is a mistake in Xindu. I am afraid that the credit will not be reaped. , you have to suffer and suffer.”

The rain was falling intermittently, and Liu Meier encountered such obstacles when she heard the news, so she naturally guessed that sister Dai would be very troubled.

The servants took the medicine, and the colleagues left in the sedan chair. The servant Xiaofeng protected the medicine bag and was puzzled by the young master who was walking through the street.

"My lord, why don't you take the sedan chair?"

Liu Mei'er held an umbrella to protect part of the medicine pack and said, "It's rare to walk a few steps. Walking around is also good for your health."

In fact, the main reason is that Liu Meier needs time to think about the fact that her colleague just mentioned that the Ministry of Industry sent officials to Yicheng to build a new capital.

When the two returned to the mansion, Liu Meier wrote down the paperwork for returning to work as an errand in the Ministry of Industry, thinking that she would let Sister Dai have a look before submitting it to the Ministry of Industry.

The rain outside the window became more and more noisy, and because of the victory of the war, there were constant banquets in the palace.

Yue Wu Rongyue and other generals all joined the feast, and there were several dances and dances. The civil and military officials congratulated each other on their great military achievements, and the crown prince Jiang Hui also showed joy after being praised. Jiang Changdai left the palace in the middle of the night, slightly drunk.

As the chariots and horses drove slowly through the streets of the capital, Jiang Changdai recalled the joy and complacency of the generals at the banquet with a stern expression, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

This battle to annihilate the two small countries has only just begun. If the generals carelessly underestimate the enemy because of this, then the future wars with Mo and Feng will suffer.

It is not a lie that arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated.

It's just that the Confucian scholars around Prince Jiang Hui have entered the imperial court to serve as officials, and Jiang Changdai can't make a big rectification, so she has to think of other ways to warn Prince Jiang Hui.

Walking through the corridor on a rainy night and returning to the bedroom of the Princess Mansion, Jiang Changdai came out of the inner room to take a bath and saw a limp person sitting upright.

"Why are you here so late today?" Jiang Chang, wearing a plain long gown, with three thousand black hair hanging down behind her, came in steps.

Liu Meier handed out the document hesitantly and said, "I heard that the Ministry of Industry will soon send officials to Yicheng to supervise the construction of the new capital. I, want to try it."

Now that the territory of Jiang Country is getting wider and wider, the location of the capital city is a bit quiet, which is not a good place to stay in the territory. Naturally, Liu Meier also knows that this is a difficult and heavy task.

Jiang Changdai reached out to take her paperwork in a daze, but she didn't open it right away to read it.

Jiang Changdai naturally had a plan for building a new capital.

One reason is that the current capital is too close to the Mo country, and there are no mountains and rivers around it to defend. If they fight against the Mo country in the future, there will inevitably be hidden dangers.

Secondly, the population of the people of Jiang State is increasing rapidly, and the existing capital city buildings can no longer accommodate the rapidly growing population, and the surrounding area cannot be expanded any further. Naturally, a new capital that can accommodate a larger population is needed.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are too many aristocratic and powerful families in the capital. This time, the new taxation decree is still in its initial implementation, and a small test has already exposed some obstacles from the North Korean and Chinese forces.

In the future, I am afraid that if we want to deepen the reform, we must uproot the aristocratic family in order to implement the political and legal reform.

Those aristocratic families did not dare to discuss the new policy without authorization, so the plan to build the new capital was naturally opposed by the officials guarded by the aristocratic families, which was expected by Jiang Changdai.

But Liu Meier's request to participate in the construction of the new capital took Jiang Changdai a little by surprise, and it was too easy for her to be hated.

Jiang Changdai sat sideways by the couch and looked at the documents. She didn't make a sound for a long time, but sighed involuntarily.

Liu Meier, who was anxiously waiting for an answer, asked puzzledly: "Sister Dai thinks that Meier is not up to the job?"

Although Liu Mei'er has not worked in the Ministry of Industry for long, she still knows the basic engineering plan.

"Of course not." Jiang Changdai reached out and pinched her face, "It's just that the construction of the new capital has encountered a lot of opposition among the courtiers. If you can't do it well, they won't let you go easily."

Liu Meier stretched out her hand to hold Sister Dai's cold hand and replied, "I know."

"Then you might as well change your job."

Jiang Changdai didn't want to put Meier on the cusp of the storm, but changed her mind after thinking about it, "The palace is going to repair the new queen's palace recently, and I think this project is very safe."

"But I want to build a new capital, isn't sister Dai also thinking about it?" Liu Meier knew how many years her sister Dai had been preparing for the construction of the new capital, and she shouldn't suspend the plan now because of the objections of the courtiers.

Jiang Changdai pursed her thin lips slightly, looked at the stubborn person in front of her, and explained: "Yicheng is not close to the capital, and you will have to stay for at least a few years once you go there. Doesn't Meier want to stay longer with me?"

The construction of the new capital will take ten or eight years at the earliest, and there will be complicated incidents during the period. If the construction period is delayed, it is uncertain how the ministers will submit a letter to participate in the performance.

"I want to stay with Sister Dai, but I want to help Sister Dai complete the great cause of Jiang Guo." Liu Meier has seen Sister Dai working hard for Jiang Country in her second life.

In her last life, her body was weak, and Liu Meier had more energy than strength, but now it is different.

Jiang Changdai did not respond immediately, but put the document aside and said: "It's late at night, we will discuss this matter later, go to bed first."

The two of them remained silent, and at dawn, Liu Meier watched Sister Dai leave the Princess Mansion.

Liu Meier, who has always obeyed sister Dai's words the most, handed over the documents to the Ministry of Industry without authorization that day.

When the document was handed over to the court by Master Shangshuji of the Ministry of Industry, Song Yuanshan saw the document and withheld it without authorization.

The Confucian scholars next to Prince Jiang Hui were all from aristocratic families, so naturally they disliked building a new capital the most.

So Song Yuanshan revealed the news to these Confucian scholars, trying to make them humiliate Prince Consort Liu's wishful thinking.

"I think that since Concubine Liu dares to ask for orders to build a new capital in Yicheng, it must be instigated by the eldest princess."

"From ancient times to the present, building a new capital has cost a huge amount of money. Could it be that Prince Consort Liu wants to get a fortune?"

"Why don't we just stick to our plan and agree to Concubine Liu to be in charge of building the new capital, but Concubine Liu must suffer. If the project is not completed in three years, he will be dismissed and investigated!"

"Yes, at least kill the eldest princess Majesty, otherwise if she is really a woman to control Jiang Guo, then how will you stand up for the emperor and the crown prince?"

In the dead of night, the Confucian scholars had already discussed and made a decision.

Maybe Liu Mei'er didn't even realize that because of a document she wrote, the situation in the court became more and more anxious.

What surprised Jiang Changdai even more was that the document appeared directly on Prince Jiang Hui's desk, and the ministers abnormally agreed to the plan to build a new capital.

Originally, Jiang Changdai thought that she hadn't seen Liu Meier mentioning the construction of the new capital for so long, and thought she was persuaded by herself.

Unexpectedly, she actually submitted the document without her own hands, and it was handed over to Prince Jiang Hui without her own hands.

Jiang Changdai would not believe it if it was said that there was no manipulation by Song Yuanshan.

That day when Liu Meier was called into the palace, Liu Meier who hadn't worn official robes for a long time was still not used to it, and felt even more nervous.

It's not because of the difficulty of the task in Xindu, but because I'm afraid that sister Dai will be angry with me.

Above the main hall, Liu Meier felt the gazes of all the officials, but only sister Dai's eyes were not there.

Liu Meier knelt in the hall to pay homage to accept Prince Jiang Hui's inquiry about Xindu.

"Yicheng's terrain is dangerous. Since ancient times, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the capital is to be built, how can we transport a large number of huge logs, bricks and tiles?"

"Back to the prince, I think that because of the abundant water in the river in spring, it is most suitable to transport giant trees and other large construction equipment into Yicheng from the waterways around Yicheng." Liu Meier has done a lot of homework and book research, and naturally it took a lot of money. less thought.

"Okay." Prince Jiang Hui has always been very interested in his little uncle.

It was rumored that this little uncle had participated in Jiang Guo's emissary in the battle of Shacheng in which Qing Guo defeated many with fewer, and became famous far and wide.

After that, he was transferred several times, and the road to promotion can be described as bumpy and bizarre, not to mention the treason case at the beginning of the year and he was imprisoned because of it.

Therefore, many officials of the imperial court have two very different evaluations of him.

In the early years of reading books and doing accounts in the Ministry of Industry, Liu Meier still learned a little about accounting and budgeting, so she was able to answer many of the prince's questions with ease.

But Liu Meier was not sure about the construction time.

After all, I have never handled such a large project alone, and it stands to reason that such a large project will take at least seven or eight years, not to mention ten years.

However, several ministers in the court suddenly proposed a three-year agreement.

Only then did Liu Meier realize that these ministers had ulterior motives.

But now that she has entered the palace, Liu Meier naturally didn't want to embarrass sister Dai, so she personally agreed to the three-year agreement.

This day, Liu Meier's back and clothes were soaked with sweat, those court officials looked polite, but in fact they were really cannibalistic.

The more Liu Meier thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Sister Dai, and it was hard for Sister Dai to deal with this group of tigers and wolves for many years.

In the evening, Liu Meier rode out of the palace, and many officials from the Ministry of Industry persuaded with concern: "Master Liu, these three years are too tight."

"Everyone, don't worry." Liu Mei'er didn't want to show timidity, so as not to make those people look down on her.

When Liu Meier rode through the street alone, Song Yuanshan's sedan chair followed.

"Brother Liu, you're so courageous today." Song Yuanshan opened the curtain with a folding fan in his hand, his face was full of smiles, but he looked particularly creepy.

Originally, Song Yuanshan also knew that the eldest princess was very concerned about building a new building, so he always wanted to wait for the eldest princess to take the initiative to negotiate with him.

Then I can take advantage of the opportunity to invite the eldest princess to a banquet, and the two of them will always have time to get along.

Unexpectedly, Prince Concubine Liu would agree to such a dangerous three-year contract today, Song Yuanshan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Concubine Liu managed to regain his prestige, but how could it be possible to build a new capital in three years, Song Yuanshan had to think that even if the eldest princess wanted to save him by then, he would be useless.

"Teacher Song is being polite." Liu Meier held the rein and smiled stiffly, not because of anything else but because she knew that sister Dai would not let this matter go easily when she returned home later.

Both of them laughed awkwardly, and soon they parted ways absent-mindedly.

When the sky was getting darker, Liu Meier returned to the mansion and entered the hall, and unexpectedly saw sister Dai who had returned to the mansion early.

In the past, Sister Dai would only come back late at night, could it be that she is going to get angry today?

It was rare for the three of them to sit together for a meal, Chang's face was worried and he muttered: "Why do you suddenly think about going to Yicheng to build a new capital?"

Liu Meier glanced nervously at Sister Dai who was still silent, thinking that Sister Dai had leaked information to Chang in advance.

Seeing her child looking at the Eldest Princess, Chang held her earlobe and muttered: "If the Eldest Princess hadn't told my mother in advance, you might have to leave like last time and ask someone to send a message back?"

"How could it be?" Liu Meier looked at Chang's innocently, half of her earlobe was pinched red, "I just haven't figured out how to tell my mother yet."

"You were so obedient and sensible when you were a child, how come the longer your hair grows, the more disobedient you are!" Chang muttered, while tilting her head and raising her hand to signal for someone to spread the food.

After the babbling was over, Liu Meier ate a hot meal.

When night fell over the capital, Mrs. Chang was probably tired, so she went back to the garden to rest.

Only Liu Meier and Sister Dai looked at each other in the hall, speechless.

Holding the teacup, Liu Meier glanced at Sister Dai in fear, thinking that she would not be forced to kneel tonight.

Of course Jiang Changdai could sense Liu Meier's gaze, but she was so angry that she didn't want to talk to her.

Thinking of this, Jiang Changdai immediately got up, and Liu Meier followed closely behind.

The two of them passed through the corridor courtyard not too close to each other until they entered the inner room of Liu Meier's house.

When the palace people closed the outer door, Liu Meier's heart still trembled.

"I'm sorry." Liu Meier stepped towards Sister Dai who was sitting upright on the soft bed, and knelt down on the other side of the soft bed very consciously.

Jiang Changdai raised her eyes to look at Liu Meier's red earlobe and thin lips, and said tightly: "I think you are obviously worthy."

Liu Meier looked at Sister Dai blankly and said, "Why do you say that?"

"You want to build a new capital, I don't blame you, but how can you accept the three-year contract?" Jiang Changdai frowned and looked at the person who hadn't realized the danger, and she didn't know what to say to her .

"I didn't answer in a daze." Liu Meier had never seen Sister Dai's serious appearance before, "I have surveyed the terrain of Yicheng countless times on the map, so naturally I know the surrounding mountains and rivers. A detailed blueprint plan on the scale of the capital has been prepared years ago, and tens of thousands of craftsmen have long been registered and are waiting to start work."

It is precisely because she understands Sister Dai's detailed arrangements for Xindu that Liu Meier is reluctant to let Sister Dai's hard work go to waste.

Seeing Liu Meier's thoughtful response, Jiang Changdai had no choice but to change her mind and ask: "The construction of the new capital requires not only skilled craftsmen, but also hundreds of thousands of people. Can these be assembled all at once?"

"It can be raised." Liu Meier straightened her back and answered rationally, "Farmers are busiest in spring plowing and autumn harvesting, but summer and winter are relatively idle. As long as the salary is reasonable, the people will definitely be willing to participate."

"If the state treasury fails to allocate funds in time, and those ministers have to deduct and delay, the people will not get the money to accumulate resentment and anger, how will you deal with it?" Jiang Changdai was already thinking about the plan to make Liu Meier resign due to illness .

Liu Meier paused slightly, and thought carefully about the answer: "Then issue a mortgage bank note recognized by the government, which is equivalent to an IOU. As long as the Jiang Guochaotang exists, the common people can use the mortgage bank note to obtain it." Silver taels or a full amount of food."

The autumn wind outside the window was unabated, and when the lamp was shaking slightly, Jiang Changdai was confused by Liu Meier's careful plan and didn't know how to refute.

"Do you think it is so easy to issue mortgage notes?" Jiang Changdai calmed down a little and asked.

"I know it's not easy, but... I believe Sister Dai can do it."

Jiang Changdai looked at Liu Meier, whose eyes were full of hope, but she couldn't refute in her heart, so she could only sigh: "You have remembered my benefits now."

Liu Meier hesitated to get closer, reached out and lightly touched the side of sister Dai's face and said seriously: "Meier, I always remember sister Dai's kindness."

"But it's been three years since you left this time, have you ever thought that I will, worry about you?" Jiang Changdai looked at her shyly, then reached out and pulled her into her arms, meeting her eyes He couldn't say anything serious, so he could only complain, "You, you are so foolish."

She is easy to be calculated by others when she is by her side, how can she take care of her if she is far away in Yicheng.

"Sister Dai, don't worry, Meier will definitely complete the task." Liu Meier boldly kissed Sister Dai's tight thin lips, thinking that maybe she would stay far away, and she would not always want to cling to Dai Sister is close.

After all, I am already an adult, too clingy will delay Sister Dai's handling of major political affairs.
