Chapter 352: Clothing ()

The two are not only monarchs and ministers, but also good friends. Accompanying each other day and night, extremely intimate.

Chen Jinyu did not hide anything, and expressed her regrets one by one: "...it is really not easy for a woman to work as an errand. Whether they mean it or not, I am always easily ignored, ignored, and even isolated."

"Think about that day in the capital, when the princess entered the court hall alone, facing the emperor on the dragon throne and all the civil and military officials of the court, she was calm and composed. Such perseverance and courage, I really can't match it."

Jiang Shaohua was silent for a moment and said: "The officialdom has always been a man's world. As a woman, it is really difficult to get a foothold in it. Every step you take, you have to put in more effort than others."

"For example, it will be much more difficult for me than the other vassal kings. The King of Dongping, Huaiyang, and Prince Wu'an slapped their butts and left the capital to return to the vassal territory. When they got to me, they had to work hard to get the Queen Mother to nod for me to return. For this reason, Nanyang County must continuously donate grain seeds and large quantities of new grain to the imperial court.”

"There is nothing we can do about it. We are not strong enough to overturn the table, so we have to hold back for the time being and suppress the situation."

Chen Jinyu whispered: "It is indeed heartbreaking to donate food. However, there are also many invisible benefits. In the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager, the princess is caring and loyal. In the eyes of the officials, the princess is broad-minded and kind. Come on. People who have interests will think of the interests of the princess."

Things like reputation are invisible and intangible, but they are extremely important.

Jiang Shaohua smiled slightly: "Yes! It is quite cost-effective to buy a good reputation with some food. Otherwise, you will really think that I am being taken advantage of!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

Chen Jinyu smiled and sighed: "The princess has me as her subordinate, Miss Kong, Miss Sun, and Mrs. Cui Li Ying from Ye County. It can be said that there are many talents. I only hope that more capable women will come to the county in the future. Work under the Lord’s command.”

Jiang Shaohua smiled and said: "Don't worry, this day will definitely come."

……

After staying in the Nanyang Army for several days, Jiang Shaohua set out to leave the military camp. Instead of going to the nearest Wan County, he went to Xi'e County.

Magistrate Zou of Xi'e County was overjoyed and led everyone from the county government to greet him. Several large families in Xi'e County also came, including the Tang family.

Jiang Shaohua smiled and asked everyone to get up without ceremony, and specifically called Tang Youyin in front of everyone: "Prince Tang works as an errand in the palace, and he is diligent and careful in his work. This princess appreciates it very much. I am inspecting the counties this time." , I specially ordered him to accompany me.”

Magistrate Zou immediately praised Tang Youyin, and the rest of the county government also agreed. In their mouths, Tang Youyin has almost become a shrewd and capable genius who knows everything about household affairs.

Tang Youyin was thirty years old, and he didn't expect to be able to be in such a limelight, and his rather thick-skinned face was a little hot. When the corner of his eye caught the envious eyes of the Tang clan members, he straightened his back subconsciously.

His biological father lived and died for the princess, and as a son, he had nothing to be ashamed of because of his biological father's glory.

Ma Yaozong saw this and thought that in a while it would be his turn to return to Biyang County in fine clothes, and his heart suddenly felt like burning coals.

That is to say, the princess is so meticulous and goes out of her way to support them and give their family dignity. How could they not go to pieces for the princess?
On the evening of this day, the county government in Xi'e County held a reception banquet.

Jiang Shaohua did not drink alcohol as usual and only drank a cup of tea. The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively.

Magistrate Zou's face glowed brightly and he took the initiative to raise his glass: "This year's corn harvest will be great, and the grain harvest will be more than twice that of last year. In a few days, the sweet potatoes will be harvested. If this continues, not only will the people not be hungry, If you have a belly, you can also sell grain for money.”

"This is all due to the kindness of the princess. I respect the princess three glasses of wine!" Magistrate Zou drank three glasses of wine in a row.

Jiang Shaohua asked with a smile: "Now no one complains about planting new grains?"

Magistrate Zou laughed and replied: "Every household's grain farm is full. One crop of new grain can feed the family for two years. The corn stalks can be used to burn fires, and the sweet potato leaves can be used to feed pigs and chickens. The people are overjoyed. How can I complain?"

Jiang Shaohua smiled knowingly.

Magistrate Zou continued talking enthusiastically: "Master Cui is really a genius. Last year, the yield per acre of corn was already very high. I never thought that this year's output would increase by 20%."

Cui Du's name caught my ear, and Jiang Shaohua felt a little strange in his heart. He smiled happily without revealing anything on his face: "When all the new grains are promoted and the people can fill their stomachs, wheat, millet, beans and rice will still have to be planted. Cui Du He has been cultivating grain seeds in the farm, and he told the princess that when good grain seeds are cultivated, the yield will be much higher than before. "

Magistrate Zou was very excited: "This is really great. Mr. Cui is a living god!"

yes! Farming is the foundation of the country, and Cui Du, who can greatly increase food production, is indeed half a god.

Cui Du's face flashed through Jiang Shaohua's mind again.

After the banquet, Jiang Shaohua told Tang Youyin: "It's a rare trip back to Xi'e. You don't have to wait by my side. Go back to Tang's house and stay for a few days."

Tang Youyin still wanted to refuse, but the princess smiled and said: "Returning home in fine clothes is one of the great joys in life. You are still junior in the palace, and it is not convenient for you to be promoted for the time being. However, you must always have the dignity you should have."

Tang Youyin's heart surged with warmth, and he solemnly thanked the princess for her kindness.

……

That night, Tang Youyin returned to Tang's house.

The heads of the seven houses of the Tang family all came out to greet anyone who could walk.

Mrs. Tang, who was walking unsteadily due to his age, actually took the initiative to welcome him out. Tang Youyin didn't dare to bear it so hard. He hurriedly stepped forward to support Mr. Tang and respectfully called "uncle".

Mrs. Tang looked Tang Youyin up and down, smiled and praised: "Sure enough, he is promising."

There are more than a dozen men in Tang Youyin's generation. The oldest is already fifty, and the youngest is in his twenties. Tang Youyin was among them, so he wasn't that outstanding in the first place. When I was young, I ran a business trip and was not flexible enough. Later I was sent to the county government as an errand.

Who would have thought that Tang Youyin was so lucky. Now he has won the favor of the princess and worked as an errand in the palace's household, and is regarded as his right-hand man by Feng Changshi. Now he can also patrol the counties with the princess.

With the princess's support, who in the Tang family wouldn't look down upon Tang Youyin?
Tang Youyin did not float to the sky, and responded calmly: "The princess is inspecting the counties this time to see the new grain harvest and the account books of each county to settle the hungry people. I work as an errand in the household and am familiar with the account books, so Only then can I have the opportunity to follow the princess."

After entering the palace, Tang Youyin's life goal has quietly changed from being the head of the Tang family to a higher ambition.

People's horizons and patterns have become higher, and the magnanimity they reveal is naturally different.
