Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong immediately regained his spirits: "You still said that nothing happened, if nothing happened, why do you use this method to make yourself remember?"

Xiao Xuexing had some headaches: "It has nothing to do with Yihe and it has nothing to do with the Northern Wei Dynasty, all right, shut up and eat!"

Xiao Zirong originally wanted to make persistent efforts, but seeing that Xiao Xuexing's patience was about to run out, she quickly covered her mouth with food, but she still looked at Xiao Xuexing from time to time, feeling extremely curious.

Xiao Xuexing also couldn't laugh or cry, Xiao Zirong was really cowardly when he was cowardly, and he was really daring when he was bold, especially recently, this little bastard often jumped on his bottom line, but he was still reluctant to punish him.

Yesterday... It was an accident, and his own xinxing was affected. If it was changed to before, he would not directly attack even if he was angry.

What's more, Xiao Zirong's mistake is not a big mistake, far from being held there and beaten.

Seeing that his younger brother is approaching the weak crown, he has already grown up, and thanks to this child's open-mindedness, yesterday was just shy for a while and passed away. If he was replaced by someone else, he might not bear grudges against him.

These days, Mr. Xiao Lang is very face-saving.

Originally, this matter was very secretive, and he recruited the doctor while he was taking his pulse, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zirong discovered it.

He vaguely touched his arm which was still wrapped in gauze, and now he only hoped that the injury would heal soon, otherwise this little bastard might take the opportunity to get to the bottom of it.

After breakfast, Xiao Xuexing got up and said: "Your Majesty has returned to the morning court, you can come with me."

As his words fell, little ladies walked out from both sides, holding various clothes and accessories in their hands.

Xiao Zirong pointed to his nose: "Me? What am I going to do?"

Oh, what a serious occasion, what could he do in the past?Stand there like a wooden man?

Xiao Xuexing glanced at him and said: "You are the king of Xuancheng, and you are not a feudal vassal, so of course you will go."

Xiao Zirong originally wanted to protest, but Xiao Xuexing swallowed it back at this glance.

He thought about it and found it very curious. When he was the emperor, he actually had an early court, but he didn't go there once, for fear that he would become a tool man in the past—a tool man for the regent and the prime minister. Of course he didn't. willing.

Now is the chance to see it up close.

It's just that it's not easy to go to court. This set of clothes is a little simpler than a big dress and can be seen.

After Xiao Zirong got dressed, Xiao Xuexing stood on the spot and sized him up for a while, then turned around and said, "Go and get the box I brought back earlier."

Xiao Zirong was also looking at Xiao Xuexing, and said with a thought: "Do you want my brother to wear glasses? I feel like I can match them."

Xiao Xuexing immediately asked someone to bring the glasses over, and after putting them on, he instantly eased the sharpness between his brows and eyes.

He looked in the mirror and thought it was really good.

Not long after, the person sent by Xiao Xuexing came back, Xiao Xuexing took out a string of bracelets from the box and put them on for Xiao Zirong, held his brother's wrist for a while and nodded in satisfaction.

Xiao Zirong took a look and found that the whole body of the bracelet was bright red, and the beads were carved into half-open flower buds, and the layers of petals were so thin that they were almost transparent.

Not to mention the material, just say that the carving is very valuable.

Xiao Zirong's skin was originally white, and it was a kind of white with a little pink. If it is tacky, it probably has the effect of white and pink.

Wearing this string of bracelets on his hands complemented his fair skin even more.

Xiao Zirong touched the bracelet curiously and asked, "Brother, what material is this?"

Although he has seen a lot of good things now, compared with the little man from a real family, at least his vision of luxury goods is still far behind.

He just took a closer look, and could faintly see dots of golden light on the beads, which made him even more strange. Of course, if he searched in his mind, he would definitely be able to find out what it was.

But it's a bit troublesome, why not ask Xiao Xuexing directly.

Xiao Xuexing said casually, "It's agate."

agate?

He had never seen agate like this before, and he really had a lot of experience.

As soon as Xiao Zirong lowered his hand, he found that the bracelet was blocked by his sleeve, and he couldn't help but regretted saying for a moment: "No one else can see such a beautiful bracelet."

Xiao Xuexing said with a smile, "Let's go."

Xiao Zirong hurriedly followed, the two of them were very close to the main hall - after all, they were in Xiao Zirong's City Lord's Mansion.

But when they went, almost everyone except the emperor arrived.

Even Xiao Ji was already talking and laughing happily with others.

When Xiao Zirong and Xiao Xuexing passed by, everyone looked at them subconsciously, and was a little surprised when they saw the glasses on Xiao Xuexing's face.

Xiao Ji was familiar with Xiao Xuexing, so he asked curiously, "Is the Regent's eyes uncomfortable too?"

The people around all pricked up their ears. If the regent also got eye disease... Uh, it seems that there is no problem, after all, the king of Xuancheng can cure it.

Xiao Zirong said with a smile beside him: "No, my brother's eyes are very good, he just used ordinary glass on it, and it's pretty nice to wear as an ornament, isn't it?"

Xiao Ji glanced at Xiao Xuexing's glasses and nodded enviously.

His frame is also quite nice, but compared with Xiao Xuexing's... it's still a bit worse.

It's not a material problem, it has something to do with design.

After all, Xiao Zirong's standard for Xiao Ji when designing was good-looking, not ugly.

When he arrived at Xiao Xuexing's place, he almost used all his strengths, no matter how good-looking he was.

If he didn't feel that Xiao Xuexing's status and status were not suitable for such a flashy look, he would even make tricks on the temples of his glasses, such as making some special shaped temples.

When everyone heard that it was just decoration, they couldn't help looking at Xiao Xuexing more.

Not to mention, the Prince Regent looked better after wearing the glasses, and he was also a little more peaceful. Before, everyone didn't dare to look at him, but now even if they do, they don't feel anything.

While chatting and laughing, Xiao Xuan came.

As soon as he came, it represented the official start of the pilgrimage.

At this time, Xiao Zirong realized that his bracelet still had a chance to be exposed - because everyone was not standing.

I think so, except when foreigners invade, the philosophy of the Han family is that the king and the scholar-bureaucrats share the world.

Even the emperor had to be polite to his ministers. Even in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats still saluted each other, but the etiquette was different.

So how could it be possible that Xiao Xuan sat up to the court, while the ministers had to stand?

Xiao Zirong naturally has seats, but although chairs have entered daily life now, they still use scales in the hall, and everyone sits on their feet.

Xiao Zirong is not used to this kind of sitting posture, so he can only hope that everyone will talk less nonsense.

After sitting down, the hands are neatly placed on the lap, and because the sleeves are relatively large, they have to be spread on both sides.

Not to mention, the splayed hem and the sleeves looked gorgeous.

Xiao Zirong sat side by side with Xiao Ji and Xiao Xuexing. When Xiao Ji sat down, he saw the bracelet on his hand, and his eyes lit up. Just as he was about to say something, he heard his father cough lightly on it. .

Xiao Ji and Xiao Zirong looked at each other and held back their words.

Seeing Xiao Ji's performance, Xiao Zirong was very down-to-earth, um, it wasn't the first day he went to court alone.

At the beginning of the court meeting, there were some relatively basic livelihood issues, such as where there was more rain, which seemed to affect the spring plowing, and where else had already suffered disasters.

Xiao Zirong was flooded with all kinds of natural disasters, which made him almost dumbfounded.

He really never expected that there are so many things to do in one spring plow, or in other words, there are so many places with different climates in only half of the country in Qi, and there are many disaster-prone places.

He wanted to ask, but because the topic was heavy and everyone was upset, he couldn't ask, so he had to ask his own library.

Xiao Ji, who was sitting next to him, did not have such tricks. Seeing Xiao Zirong listening there, he couldn't help poking him and asked in a low voice, "Runer, is the weather not good this year?"

Xiao Zirong just finished checking the information, and when he came back to his senses, he asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ji was a little confused: "Why are there so many disasters?"

Xiao Zirong paused for a moment, then remembered that Xiao Ji had never been in touch with government affairs before this, and since he was young, probably knew as much as he did, so he whispered: "This is normal."

Xiao Ji looked at him with some surprise: "Normal?"

Xiao Zirong nodded: "Yes, good weather has always been the good expectation of farmers. Since it is an expectation, it is naturally difficult to realize, and some places are indeed more prone to disasters because of their geographical location."

Xiao Zirong listed the records of natural disasters in several places in a row. Of course, these records are from the past few decades. From those records, it can be seen that floods often occur in those places.

His data are very detailed, Xiao Ji was surprised when he heard it: "How do you know?"

Xiao Zirong glanced at the library and said, "It's written in the book."

He also mentioned the title of the book by the way. This book was indeed written by a great Confucianist who has studied geography in this era. It was written earlier than now, so it doesn't matter what he said.

Xiao Ji nodded quickly, a little confused: "Couldn't it be possible to control the water?"

Xiao Zirong smiled: "Of course it can. Isn't everyone discussing it now? But water control is not easy. From the time of Dayu to the present, every dynasty has been working hard to control water. It's a pity...the water is impermanent."

Xiao Ji vaguely understood something and didn't ask any more, and decided to continue listening.

Xiao Xuexing, who was sitting next to them, glanced at the surprised ministers behind him, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

After the matter of disaster relief and water control came to an end, it was followed by the previous peace talks.

The result of the peace negotiation was not bad. It was impossible to change the city occupied by Xiao Xuexing and Zhang Chong. In addition, the Northern Wei Dynasty needed to pay them some money, some cloth, some cattle and sheep, some horses, and there were also some business transactions.

Although Xiao Zirong couldn't fully understand it, he also knew that they had taken advantage of it - it could be seen from the beaming expressions of everyone.

After all this was said, the envoy sent out before said, "There is another miracle."

Xiao Xuan asked, "What?"

"A new kind of refined salt has recently emerged in the Northern Wei Dynasty. It is said that I, Daqi, sold it in the past, but as far as I know, I have never seen this kind of salt."

Xiao Zirong, who was tilting his head and whispering to Xiao Ji, froze when he heard this sentence: Yuan Jia betrayed me?
