The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Xie Changshi's curiosity was destined to get no answer, because after Lu Muchen and Gu Yuzhi reached a friendly agreement, the two skipped this topic.

After he handed over the things that the emperor and the empresses in the harem had brought to him to Gu Yuzhi, he rushed to Quanzhou overnight.

Gu Yuzhi stood outside the gate, watching the back of Lu Muchen riding away, waving his hands until he could no longer see him before entering the house.

He clapped his hands gently and was in a great mood.

Because when Lu Muchen left, he quietly told him that he would find a way to talk to Magistrate Ke about this matter.

When the time comes, he will sort out the sleep schedule here, and Magistrate Ke will follow the people. After figuring out the rules, Gu Yuzhi can send people there.

With the cooperation of several parties, Xie Changshi will definitely not find out about it!

As for Guard Zhang, it was already late April when he escorted Bai Jiwu to the capital.

Before entering the capital, the group could feel the prosperity and liveliness of the capital. Just outside the city gate, the people of the capital lined up for several miles.

Guard Zhang and others were waiting at the tea stall. The guard took Gu Yuzhi's token and letter to negotiate with the emperor, and soon came back with a smile on his face.

"Chief of Guards, the city defenders agreed and said that the emperor had already ordered us to enter the capital without delay and go directly to the capital."

Guard Zhang then got on his horse, waved his hand, and everyone quickly entered through the Anding Gate.

Guard Qi had been walking this line in the capital before, but this was the first time Guard Zhang had returned after more than a year.

Obviously nothing seems to have changed, but I just feel like I am not used to such prosperity.

Guard Zhang couldn't help but think of His Highness.

On the rare occasions when His Highness went shopping in Changzhou Prefecture, he would marvel at the prosperity of Changzhou Prefecture. If His Highness came to the capital, he would probably not be able to help but jump up and down the street.

Guard Zhang was talking about His Highness, and the ladies in the harem were also talking about Gu Yuzhi.

Since becoming pregnant, the fourth concubine often gathered with Concubine Taixian in Kunning Palace. There was nothing important to do every day, just talking with the queen.

But today, when the servants heard that Guard Zhang had come to Beijing, the topic of discussion naturally turned to Gu Yuzhi.

Liang Fei calculated the time and muttered: "I heard before that Xiaoliu spent the whole year in Xinliang because of his blindness. He finally recovered, but he has to take good care of him. .”

She looked at Concubine De with a smile: "Concubine De, your family is a medicine merchant, so you should be more careful about this matter."

Concubine De rolled her eyes and leaned back on the chair: "Do you need to tell me? When this matter first reached the capital, our family collected a lot of medicinal materials and sent them over."

She looked Liangfei up and down: "Sister Liangfei, what did you give me?"

Concubine Liang smiled and said with a bit of a sinister tone in her voice: "What can I give you? Our family is not as rich as Sister De Concubine's family, and our foundation is weak, so we can only give you some things that His Highness needs."

She raised her chin and said proudly: "All the seeds planted in Xinliang this year were sent by our family."

There are no seeds left for Xinliang rice, and since Xinliang will continue to cultivate wasteland this year, the demand for seeds will be even greater.

If His Highness and the others were to buy it themselves, it would be a big expense. The fine seeds given to His Highness were all bought by Liang Fei’s family with their own money.

The concubines then made a sound, let the good concubine go, and turned their attention to the concubine Shu who was eating melon seeds. "What did the concubine Shu give you?"

Concubine Shu didn't expect that the two women's quarrel would lead to the flames of war on her. She immediately became unhappy and carefully packed away the melon seed shells.

She waved her hand: "What can I give you? Our family has neither medicinal materials nor food. What can I give you!"

She sighed and was about to speak when Concubine De took over the conversation with a smile: "It turns out that Sister Shu Concubine didn't send anything."

Liang Fei sighed: "It doesn't matter if I don't send anything. Xiaoliu is sensible and won't alienate you just because you don't send anything."

Seeing that the two women were talking to each other, Concubine Shu rolled her eyes unceremoniously and said nothing. After they finished their display, Concubine Shu said with a smile: "I didn't send anything. , but that doesn’t mean I didn’t express it?”

"Xiao Liu said before that he wanted to open a jewelry store. When I heard this, I thought, our family has experience in this field."

Concubine Liang and Concubine De, who had been so proud before, as if they had won, suddenly fell down.

They were unhappy, but Concubine Shu was happy: "I wrote a letter to my mother. My mother thought that this was also a good opportunity to increase her dowry, and she planned to send some jewelry craftsmen there."

What she didn't say was that because of Xiaoliu's blindness and the chaos in Mobei, these craftsmen hadn't set out yet.

But there is an advantage to not setting off, because Concubine Shu has already agreed with her family that they will also bring fashionable jewelry there.

Not only jewelry, but also a written contract for cooperation with the mine, ensuring that Xiaoliu would not worry about raw materials after opening his jewelry store.

Concubine Shu felt that she was really too kind. If she told the rest, wouldn't it make these people who would be crushed feel ashamed?

Concubine Liang and Concubine De found no sense of presence in Concubine Shu. They looked at each other and focused on Concubine Xian, who was drinking tea silently.

Liang Fei smiled and said: "Sister Xian Fei, you are the first of the four concubines. What did you give Xiao Liu?"

De Fei quickly joined in: "Yes, yes, if you ask me, it is the gift from Sister Shu Fei that wins Xiao Liu's heart the most. After all, Xiao Liu has been saying that Xin Liang is short of people."

"Yes, yes!" Concubine Liang quickly took over, "Xiao Liu said that Xinliang seems to have tens of thousands of acres of land. Such a large city is reclaiming wasteland. The most important thing about reclaiming wasteland is the people."

She smiled and glanced sideways at Concubine Shu. She almost sent you to those two people, and you couldn't help Xiao Liu reclaim the wasteland. She said useless words.

Concubine Shu had her own plans and ignored Concubine Liang's insinuations. Concubine Liang snorted angrily and turned her attention to Concubine Xian again.

Not only the two of them, but Concubine Shu and the Queen were also curious about what Concubine Xian gave Xiaoliu.

Concubine Xian didn't seem to be aware of the malicious glances in the room, and said with a smile: "I can't compare to you sisters who have a rich family, and I send food and medicine to others. I just thought, Xiao Liu There is a lot of money to open up wasteland and feed the people, so just give him some money. It's not much, just three thousand taels of gold."

Liang, Shu and De's expressions darkened. Looking at Concubine Xian's smiling face, they rolled their eyes angrily.

Not much, just three thousand taels of gold...

It's really funny. If you really thought it wasn't much, why did you say it in such a strong tone?

This hypocritical woman!
