Chapter 299 List
For Jiang Shaohua, it is not difficult to deal with Princess Baohua and the others.

In this life, she has jumped out of the gorgeous cage and escaped the fate of a canary. How can an eagle soaring in the blue sky compete with a canary?

Her real opponents have never been them.

Jiang Shaohua stayed in the palace until evening before leaving. This time, it was Eunuch Zhao who escorted her out of the palace in person.

"The princess' actions are in line with the Queen Mother's wishes." Eunuch Zhao lowered his voice and laughed, "The princess often praises the princess in front of her servants."

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhao, you often speak for me. I have accepted this friendship, and I will definitely repay you generously in the future."

The princess is really an open-minded person.

Eunuch Zhao felt happy and confided in a low voice: "Your Majesty loves the princess very much and seems to have plans to keep the princess in the palace."

Jiang Shaohua's brows did not move: "I will definitely go back to Nanyang County. If the queen mentions this matter, please ask the father-in-law to deal with it for me."

Eunuch Zhao smiled earnestly and said: "Of course, Princess, don't worry, my servant will always speak for the Princess in your ears."

Eunuch Zhao sent Jiang Shaohua all the way to the palace gate. At this time, it was already evening.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaohua frowned, and then sighed softly.

Jiang Shaohua relaxed his brows and felt much more relaxed. He turned to Song Yuan and others and smiled: "Let's go back to the palace."

"...Spring plowing has begun this year. All fourteen counties are planting new grains and actively opening up wasteland for farming. Among them, Li County has contributed the most, opening up more than 20,000 acres of wasteland. I have issued an official document to commend and reward you on behalf of the princess."

These are all expected. When it actually happened, it still left her with a lump in her throat.

Jiang Shaohua nodded slightly, took the letter and opened it.

Chen Changshi would write a letter and send it to the capital every seven or eight days. All major and minor matters in the palace will be reported to her in letters.

Song Yuan comforted him in a low voice: "Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while. Since they have become the princess's personal guards, they are ready to charge into battle for the princess at any time. The princess does not need to feel guilty and blame herself."

Jiang Shaohua was silent for a moment and then said: "Righteousness does not control wealth, but kindness does not control soldiers. I understand the reason. I just feel depressed and unhappy. Let me tell you in front of my uncle."

"Did something happen to the guard camp?" Song Yuan, who had been paying attention to the changes in the princess' expression, asked in a low voice.

Dozens of soldiers were waiting outside the palace gate.

Everyone agreed with a roar.

During the time she left Nanyang County, all matters related to the palace were entrusted to Chen and Feng, the two chief ministers. Especially Chen Changshi, who is in charge of personnel affairs, is busy and under heavy pressure.

After a stick of incense, Jiang Shaohua stepped into the Nanyang Prince's Mansion. Sun An, a soldier, came over in a hurry and handed over a letter: "Princess, a letter from Chen Changshi has arrived."

"Tang Wu took grain to the north to sell, and it has achieved initial results. As far as I know, corn and sweet potatoes have been planted in five counties. However, the convoy transporting grain was also robbed by hungry people twice. Both were robbed by personal guards. They drove them away, and the Guards Battalion injured more than twenty people..."

Jiang Shaohua hummed: "I encountered hungry people on the way to transport food. I used swords and guns and killed more than a hundred of them before forcing them back. We also lost more than twenty people."

After saying that, he cheered up and continued reading the letter. After reading the letter, Jiang Shaohua whispered: "Chen Changshi made me a list and asked me to contact them privately."

There are a total of twelve people in this list. The highest official position is the second-rank official minister, and the lowest official position is the seventh-rank censor, who is low-ranking and powerful. Among them, eight are civil servants and four are military generals. It can be said that these are all important officials in the Liang Dynasty.

This is also a good relationship network that the Nanyang Palace spends a large sum of gold and silver to maintain every year. This level of relationship network is usually not visible, but it always plays a subtle role secretly.

For example, Jiang Shaohua confronted Prime Minister Wang, angrily criticized Zhang Shangshu and Dai Shangshu, took action against the king of Wu'an County, etc., but they did not cause an uproar. For another example, when Jiang Shaohua went to the imperial mausoleum and entered the Jinluan Hall to attend a court meeting, he did not arouse any criticism from everyone. It is the people on this list who are secretly at work.

The ascension of a new emperor to the throne is a major event for the country. It will take at least three or four months before the official enthronement ceremony is held. This means that Jiang Shaohua will stay in the capital for half a year.

The relationship that should be maintained should also be moved forward in private.

Song Yuan hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "The princess is in the limelight right now, and walking around may attract too much attention and cause unnecessary trouble."

Jiang Shaohua thought for a moment: "What my uncle said makes sense. I can't move around myself, so my uncle will step in for me and go to various houses."

Chen Jinyu and Ma Yaozong are still too young and have little qualifications. Song Yuan was born as a general, a fifth-rank soldier commander, and was Jiang Shaohua's uncle. It would be most appropriate for him to come forward.

Jiang Shaohua gave the list to Song Yuan and whispered a few instructions.

Song Yuan agreed one by one, then turned around and privately ordered Qin Hu and Meng Sanbao: "I have something to do in the next few days. You two must be extra cautious when entering the palace with the princess."

Qin Hu scratched his head and asked in a low voice: "What if the princess takes action first?"

This is a good question.

Song Yuan glanced over expressionlessly.

Qin Hu understood immediately: "As long as the princess is not bullied."

"Who can bully our princess?" Meng Sanbao proudly puffed out his chest: "In terms of words and skills, our princess is the best."

Look at this proud energy.

A smile flashed in Song Yuan's eyes and he said no more.

……

For the next few days, Song Yuan went out early and came back late, very busy. The originally full warehouse of Nanyang Prince's Mansion was quietly reduced by less than half.

After visiting the twelve people on the list one by one, Song Yuan went to the Song family again.

He is the direct descendant of the third family of the Song family, and the current head of the Song family is the direct descendant of the Song family. He wanted to call General Song his uncle.

General Song was also polite to Song Yuan, his nephew.

Among the descendants of the Song family, there are only a few who are capable and promising. When Song Yuan was in his prime, he was the military commander of Nanyang Palace and held the rank of fifth-rank military general. It’s already very impressive.

"I heard that you have been walking around these days," General Song said with an upright temperament and spoke straightforwardly: "Could it be that you are trying to win the hearts of your princess?"

Song Yuan avoided the important and took the easy: "Some of the courtiers are old friends of the prince when he was still alive. They must always move around to avoid losing etiquette."

General Song looked at Song Yuan and said in a deep voice: "You went to Nanyang Prince's Mansion when you were fifteen and worked as an errand for nearly twenty years. Have you ever thought about changing your job as an errand?"

Song Yuan refused without thinking: "I haven't thought about it. I have already made up my mind to stay with the princess."

General Song reminded him in a serious tone: "I see that the princess is no ordinary person in her behavior. There will be conflicts and disputes in the future. You have to think clearly."
