After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 60 Draw a circle and give it back to you

Rong Peilan stayed in Xiangguo Temple for ten days before returning home with Zhong.

It took almost two hours to get there, a distance that should have taken an hour.

As soon as they arrived, Manager Zhou came with a pile of account books.

The moment he saw the young lady, he almost cried.

"Young Madam, you are finally back!!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and the two servants behind him immediately brought up the account books in their hands.

Manager Zhou's face was beaming at the moment. "Madam, Jin'an's harvest is poor, and the grain store over there is in short supply. I have already transferred several carts of grain over there."

"Pengzhou is next to Jin'an, and the situation is equally grim. I wanted to take this opportunity to open a shop in Pengzhou, but you are not at home, so you have to make the decision on this matter."

Rong Peilan supported his forehead and thought for a while, then turned to Haitang beside him and said, "There is a map of the territory in the study, bring it here."

"Yes."

Among the things in the study, the only thing that Prince Ji would look at was the territorial map.

This map of the territory was brought back by the Marquis. It is an old map and is not used in the army, but she can still use it.

Some yellowed pictures slowly unfolded on the desktop.

The mountains and rivers in the picture are drawn in great detail. There are many pinholes in the Yanhui Prefecture on the border, and there is even a piece of grassland circled with a brush on the edge.

Ji Yunzhang once said that this was what his grandfather, General Ji, had conquered fifteen years ago. It was because of this buffer zone that we have the peace now.

Looking at the map, Yanjing is only half a finger away from Jin'an.

Rong Peilan pointed to Pengzhou next to Jin'an and said, "Pengzhou is very mountainous. Transporting grain from Yanjing will definitely lead to robbery. Now is not a good time."

"Although Quanzhou here only has one branch river, it is connected to Linjiang in Yanjing. In addition, Quanzhou has a wide terrain, so it should be a good place to grow crops."

Manager Zhou nodded, then frowned and said, "There is a lot of grain in the whole state, but we have no advantage if we go there now, right?"

Rong Peilan stood up straight and asked, "Who said that you have to make money to open a grain store?"

“Ah?” What’s the point of opening a shop if it doesn’t make money?
She looked at Manager Zhou with a smile, "The grain supply in the whole state is plentiful, is it feasible to collect the grain?"

Manager Zhou opened his mouth wide. He looked at the young lady, and for some reason, a grand plan unfolded before his eyes.

Grain merchant.

Big grain trader.

When Rong Lingkuan returned from the Imperial College, he was carrying a light cloth bag on his back. He did not bring a pen or a book with him.

As soon as he entered the courtyard of Yuhui Garden, he smelled the aroma of burnt meat.

He followed the scent and went straight to the pavilion.

As we got closer, the fragrance became stronger.

Unlike usual, there were five charcoal stoves this time.

In addition to pork, there was also a fish, a chicken, and some vegetables roasted on a charcoal stove. I don't know what was sprinkled on it, but it was red and looked tempting.

In the pavilion, his good sister could actually sleep so soundly in such a fragrant place.

His brother-in-law was sitting by the charcoal stove and eating heartily, totally disregarding his image as a prince. He looked like a man who had been hungry for ten days or half a month.

"Come on, Brother Kuan, you've made it just in time!"

While eating meat with big mouthfuls, Prince Ji did not forget to greet his brother-in-law.

He picked up a large piece of fat and lean meat with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth, and sighed with satisfaction, "This is the taste!"

He also did not forget to complain to his brother-in-law, "Brother Kuan, you don't know, the food in this temple is not good, there are many kinds of food, but none of them can fill your stomach."

At the end, he warned him seriously, "Don't think about leaving home in the future. Nothing can't be appeased by a few pieces of roasted meat!"

Rong Lingkuan, "..." Ji Yunzhang handed the slices of meat that Haitang had just grilled to his brother-in-law.

He was about to say something when he saw the five maids in the pavilion were still standing there.

After driving everyone away, he asked his brother-in-law, "How is the kid from the Shao family?"

Rong Lingkuan took the skewer of meat and sat down at the small table next to him.

"Shao Ze didn't come to the academy today. I heard that he had a severe cold. When he was meeting the emperor yesterday, he almost fainted in front of the palace."

Before Ji Yunzhang could say anything, Rong Lingkuan changed the subject and said, "Brother-in-law, why did you set a trap for the Shao family?"

Ji Shizi, "...children should not meddle in adult affairs."

Rong Lingkuan snorted, "Brother-in-law, your fire is not burning strong enough."

Prince Ji, "..."

"Shao Ze entered the Imperial College later than me. It is said that it was only because his sister, who was now a princess, sacrificed her face to send him in."

"You have given him the title of a genius with such fanfare. Aren't you just trying to clear his name?"

As he spoke, he flipped open the cloth bag he carried with him, took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to him, "Here, here you go, to make sure everything is safe."

There is also the "Earth Dragon Chapter", the "Rivers and Seas Chapter" and the "Gunpowder Chapter".

Ji Yunzhang's eyes widened, "You wrote all this yourself?!"

Rong Lingkuan took two bites of the meat slices and said, "How can I be so capable? I just copied it from a book."

He shook his head and said, "The Flood Control Poem is a miracle. The combination of these three will produce a miraculous effect. Only when there is more firewood can a fierce fire be burned."

Ji Yunzhang immediately understood what his brother-in-law meant.

The Shao family was not outstanding to begin with. Just an article on "Water Control" would have brought the Shao family back into the eyes of His Majesty.

Only if these three articles were added could his goal be achieved.

In the eyes of his majesty, who is already suspicious, it was just a minister who was eager for quick success and instant benefits and was using a child to deceive him.

And His Majesty would feel that if the last line of defense of the imperial city were handed over to such a person, he would be abandoned for a little bit of profit.

Ji Yunzhang smiled widely and rubbed his face with both hands.

"Kuandi's little brain is not much inferior to your sister's."

Rong Lingkuan blushed as he broke free from his brother-in-law's grip. He was almost ten years old and was no longer a child.

He glared at him in dissatisfaction, "Why did you set up a trap for the Shao family? You haven't told me yet!"

Ji Yunzhang stood up and smiled at him, "My brother-in-law is so smart, why do I need to tell you?"

Then he turned around, picked up a bunch of roasted potatoes beside him and stuffed them into his hands.

He glanced at Rong Peilan, who was still lying on the rattan chair, and then said in a mysterious voice, "This is a spice that my friend got from Fannan. It's spicy and delicious. Brother Kuan can try it!"

Rong Lingkuan took the string of red things that no longer looked like potatoes, smelled them, and sneezed loudly, waking up the sleeping Rong Peilan.

Rong Peilan had a confused look on her face as she looked at her brother who had appeared here out of nowhere. The grilled meat slices he said he would make for her on the small charcoal stove were now not only a mess, but there was only a little meat slices left.

Ji Yunzhang has disappeared.

Rong Lingkuan looked at the thing in his hand that he had never seen before and stuffed it into his mouth in a big bite.

Before Rong Peilan could even utter the word "don't", a kid who didn't know his place stuffed a mouthful of Fannan's pepper powder into her mouth.

A scream pierced through the clouds.

"hot!--"
