"Not enough." Pei Yao shook his head, "When marching and fighting, food and grass go first. The treasury should not only be enough for internal use, but also for the army."

For example, half of the national treasury is enough, but if the treasury of Shangyang Kingdom is full, and there is still a surplus of food and grass, then if Da Qi fights with them, the battle line will be long and stretched. suffer.

After all, there is only stored food that can be taken out immediately for the soldiers to eat, and it will be gone after eating, and the field does not immediately have a good harvest as soon as the seeds are sown.

The national strengths of the two countries are equal, and the fight is bound to last for a long time. If the time goes on, the shortage of food and grass will be a serious problem.

Fang Yun had also read books on history and politics in private, so he understood what he said.

After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, although my concubine doesn't understand government affairs, I often hear people say that when pigs are fattened up, they should be killed for meat. There is no reason to keep feeding them."

Hearing what she said, Pei Yao turned to look at her.

Immediately smiled lightly.

"My concubine and I have an idea. The former emperor raised moths, searched for people's fat and people's ointment, and raised fat. It's time to get rid of them, but I haven't decided where to start. What does Aifei think?" ?”

"It's said that the south of the Yangtze River is rich and prosperous, and the courtiers and concubines have been there once with the emperor. It is indeed a land of luxury and wealth."

Fang Jun whispered like gossip.

Pei Yao pursed his lips, "In a rich place, collusion between officials and businessmen is easy to happen, so we should really investigate."

"The emperor has his own ideas in his heart, so he came here to ask the concubine. This is to take the concubine as a prince and princess for the school examination. The concubine is too lazy to know this."

Fang Yun's timely coquettishness diverted the topic away, and pointed to a few children who were having fun playing not far away.

"Here, the eldest prince and the second princess are not ready-made students."

As he said that, the fourth prince, who was being held by the wet nurse to watch his brothers and sisters play, suddenly giggled.

When Fang Yun saw it, a light smile appeared on his face, he pinched the handkerchief and covered his lips.

"Look at the emperor, the youngest one can't wait, as if he is about to talk, when the time comes, he will chatter around the emperor asking questions, the emperor is busy, so he won't come to ask his concubine anything."

Following her gaze, Pei Yao's eyes also fell on several children, and his expression softened.

Immediately said, "I see that you think I'm annoying and want to send me away."

"Yes, yes, the concubine is annoying, and the concubine who is annoying even ordered the small kitchen to make mutton soup for the emperor to keep out the cold!"

Fang Yun snorted softly, pretending to be angry.

The little one looks energetic.

It just so happened that Zi Yuanhe led the little palace maids in to set the meal, so Pei Yao smiled and stood up first, walked to Fang Yun's side and stretched out his hand.

"That's what I said wrong. I will apologize to the concubine Zhao. The empress appreciates the face. Would you like to have a meal with me?"

When he was like this, Fang Yun also burst out laughing, took his hand, led him to get up, and went to eat.

Table of four.

Besides Pei Yao and Fang Yun, there is also the eldest prince and the second princess. The youngest fourth prince is not yet old enough to serve, and was taken back to his yard by the wet nurse.

Fang Yun thoughtfully served the eldest prince some food, "You can eat whatever you want. Don't be constrained. Just treat this place as Changqing Palace."

"Thank you, Madam Zhao." The eldest prince immediately stood up and saluted.

The second princess pulled him next to him, "Brother, sit down!"

Originally the eldest prince still didn't know what to do, but Fang Yun knew that he followed the rules, so he nodded with a smile.

"Eldest Prince, sit down, there is no need to be formal here, let's have a meal."

Pei Yao also nodded, "Yes, let's eat, there is no need to get up to thank you."

Hearing this, the First Prince sat down and continued to eat.

After dinner, Pei Yao was going back to the imperial study to handle government affairs, so Fang Yun sent Yuan He to take the eldest prince back to Changqing Palace.

Of course, I have come here, and knowing that my concubine has contracted a cold, I had to send some medicinal herbs and supplements by the way.

Originally, Concubine Jin was in a hurry.

Hearing that the child was taken to Yuzhang Palace by the emperor, he was so anxious that he didn't have a good lunch.

Seeing that Yuanhe personally sent the eldest prince back, and brought her something to nourish her body, she was relieved.

After politely sending Yuan He away, he asked the eldest prince to speak.

"You didn't do anything wrong today, did you make Concubine Zhao angry?"

"No, mother-in-law don't worry, Lady Zhao is very good, and the second sister is also very good, we are playing together, and the second sister reminded me to go and play with her again."

The eldest prince said truthfully.

There are no playmates of the right age in the palace, and the two cubs meet today, and it is too late to meet each other.

Concubine Jin squeezed her son's shoulder, her face full of worry.

Just when she was about to speak, Huan'er, the big palace lady next to her, whispered immediately.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Zhao is favored. The Eldest Prince will go to Yuzhang Palace to play with the Second Princess more often. There will be more chances to see the Emperor, which is not a good thing."

"But I'm worried that if I get close to Concubine Zhao, I will offend Zhongcui Palace. Concubine Yang is not easy to provoke."

Now that she has entered the palace, Concubine Jin thinks more, but she is not as careless as before.

But Huan'er said, "Your maidservant said something that shouldn't be said, the empress is not favored by the emperor, because of this, our eldest prince has the title of eldest son, but has been safe and sound. Concubine Yang is now only thinking about dealing with Concubine Zhao. I won't bother you, but you have to worry about the First Prince."

Jinbi listened to these words in his heart.

In the end, she nodded, took the First Prince's hand, and instructed softly.

"In the future, after you finish school, you can often go to Yuzhang Palace to play with the second younger sister Zhao, but you must remember that you must be well-behaved and don't bully your younger brothers and sisters. You must make Zhao and your father happy and like you ,do you know?"

"Yes, my son remembered."

The eldest prince nodded seriously.

Although I don't know what the meaning of my mother's advice is, the master in the school also taught me that this is what I should do.

Zhongcui Palace.

As soon as Mrs. Yang drank the medicine for nourishing her body, she heard the report from the next maid, saying that Concubine Zhao had sent someone to send the eldest prince back, and she also sent Concubine Jin some medicinal herbs for nourishing her body.

After putting the medicine bowl, Concubine Yang sneered.

"Why are you still getting along with Concubine Jin? Could it be that Beauty Song is not enough, and even Concubine Jin, who is old and young, wants to win over?"

"After all, Concubine Jin still has an eldest prince by her side, so it must be because she has no candidate." Yun Qian also sarcastically said.

Now in the harem, Concubine He has married Fang Yun for countless times, and she will never go with her. The rest of them, Wan Lingyi and Meiren Xie, are now Concubine Yang. Isn't there only Concubine Jin left?

After all, although the queen is in harmony with Fang Yun, she will not obey Fang Yun's orders.

But Yun Qian's words made Concubine Yang suddenly think of something, and her eyes became thoughtful.

"Concubine Jin is not favored, has no family background, and is stupid. She is easy to handle. Could it be that Fang is thinking that she will not have another child, and her own son is sick, so she wants to hold the eldest prince in her hands, so she can make plans?"

After all, the eldest prince took up a long word.

Since ancient times, heirs have been established, first the heirs and then the elders, and then the virtuous.

After hearing this, Yun Qian was slightly stunned, "No way, she already has two children under her knees, how could the emperor let her raise another one, not to mention, my concubine Jin is still alive."

"Fighting in the harem, we have to make the worst of any plan." Concubine Yang narrowed her eyes, "But this matter won't work out for a while, so let's wait and see."

Little did they know that when she was guessing Fang Yun's various thoughts here, Fang Yun didn't put his mind on the harem.

After seeing off Pei Yao, he ordered Qing Rong to leave the palace to deliver a letter, which was addressed to his sworn brother Liu Qin.

There may be a war in the northern border, Pei Yao is going to kill corrupt officials, and Liu Qin is outside the palace, so it is always easier to collect information.

Concubine Yang: I am so thoughtful!

Yoong Yoon: No, you are sick!
