The emperor nodded, "But the money is better. If the money is enough, the people in the city can live much better."

Zhou Shuren didn't say anything anymore. Don't ask him for money. He just got a sum of silver and was staring at him. If he hadn't written a memorial to the bad things this year and handed them over, the money would not have been left behind.

The emperor couldn't help but be happy when he didn't hear the reply, "Shu Ren, I just mentioned later that I am old, and the prince is very good now. Let the prince worry about it in the future."

Zhou Shuren smiled dryly, "The Ministry of Revenue is really worthless."

The emperor said quietly: "It's still poor. Ten years of war, no, and the court at the end of the previous dynasty was incompetent and the people were miserable. After so many years of raising it, it was difficult for them to recover at once."

Zhou Shuren was silent. Ten years of war killed and injured too many adult men, too many strong laborers died and injured. Too many villages became widow villages. Without strong laborers, even if there is land, how much tax can the imperial court collect in a year?

Zhou Shuren thought for a while and said, "There will be a prosperous day."

He hoped that he could see that there was a sign of prosperity now.

The emperor said with a relaxed tone, "Yes, there will be a prosperous day. To be honest, Shuren is my blessing."

If Zhou Shuren hadn't, he knew that there would be no sign of prosperity. When chaos really arises, he would be restored to his original form for many years.

Zhou Shuren, "I am afraid, but I am just doing my duty."

The emperor smiled and had already arrived at the city gate while he was talking. Zhou Shuren wanted to go back to the Ministry of Revenue. The emperor wanted to check around, and the two separated.

Zhou Family? Xuemei is worried? “Mom, this rainy day is not over.”

"Your mother-in-law sighed at home again?"

Xuemei nodded? “A lot of new land has been purchased? My mother-in-law and father-in-law are worried and have to pay taxes a year? If the harvest is not good, it will be useless for a year.”

Zhulan thought about it? “I plan to let Zhuangzi raise some ducks? You can also ask your parents-in-law to raise them.”

Xuemei said: "My parents-in-law want to raise a few more pigs."

Zhulan, "It's okay, but you have to build a shed. The rain is heavy? Don't the piglet get sick? A piglet is worth a lot of money."

Xuemei had a smile on her face, "Mom, don't worry, my in-laws will serve these piglets."

Zhulan nodded and handed the clothes she made in her hand to her daughter? "This is the clothes for Miao Miao, you can take them back."

Xuemei thought of her husband’s reply? “Mom, Jiang Ming’s son? Do you still remember it?”

Zhulan naturally remembers that she had lived at home? “Why did you suddenly mention him?”

Xuemei explained: "My husband went home? He was teaching in the clan school? He liked that child. This time he went back and talked a lot. I heard that someone came to talk to him about marriage, so my husband mentioned a few words to me. Miao Miao is not young anymore. Mom, what do you think of Jiang Ming's son?"

She had no ambitions and naturally did not want her daughter to marry her parents' family. She felt that in the Jiang family, it would be better for her daughter to marry a similar family.

Zhulan was surprised, "Ah? I thought you were going to talk about Mulan for Jiang Du!"

Xuemei smiled, "It's great to kiss her."

Zhulan suddenly figured out her daughter's plan. When the Jiang family's daughter got married, the Jiang family would only treat Miao Miao better. In addition, the Jiang family's situation, the Jiang family's sons can borrow not much and can rely on Chang Lian. However, Chang Lian is Xuemei's younger brother. In addition, the Jiang family's population is simple, Xuemei has helped the Jiang family for many years, which is a kindness.

Jiang Sheng also taught Jiang Muchen for many years that his measurements in many aspects are indeed very consistent with Xuemei's thoughts.

Zhulan thought of Ran Zheng's test for a few days, and the Ran family was indeed not a good marriage. After thinking about it, she said, "You are the parents, just be sure of it."

Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that her mother would disagree, so she tactfully proposed, "Mom, I have watched the two children in the Jiang family grow up and down. The two children have no complaints and can study and live hard. The two children have good character, which is what my daughter values ​​more, especially Mu Lan. You said that the eldest daughter-in-law is very important. Mu Lan has experienced so much at such a young age, and she is suitable for the eldest daughter-in-law."

If her husband hadn't mentioned that he had been to Jiang's family and said that he had a lot of relatives, she wouldn't have been so anxious. As she said that she would let the flow and wait a moment without any haste.

Zhulan patted her daughter's hand, "Your eyes are my mother."

The big daughter has a big idea, as if her own girls have big ideas.

Xuemei was a little anxious to reply to her husband, "Then she would reply to her daughter when she got back and let her husband talk to Jiang Ming. It is not appropriate to get engaged now. Her husband will take the provincial examination and wait for next year."

Zhulan thought for a while, "Don't just send letters back. If you have this idea, just send some gifts you need to give to your two children and send them back together with the letters."

Xuemei was already thinking about what to send back. The boy had just pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Mu Lan gave some exquisite jewelry.

In the Ning Hou Mansion, the emperor sat opposite Ning Xu. Ning Xu felt very complicated. He saw his son's reaction in his heart. Obviously, his son guessed his true life experience.

What does the emperor mean now? He finally became a father, but he was about to become a grandfather, and he was about to become a lonely family again?

The emperor drank ginger tea and removed the cold air, staring at Ning Xu, "Rong Chuan has guessed it."

Ning Xu's voice was heavy, "I know."

The emperor knew that Ning Xu was so good that Rongchuan was the best, and he also knew that Ning Xu really talked about Rongchuan as his son. The royal family did not have any precedent for adoption, but adoption was a royal family member and had never been adopted by a foreign surname. He didn't know how to speak for a while. He didn't come to stab Ning Xuxin.

Ning Xu knew that sooner or later, he felt bad. He didn't think he could take it back if he was devoted to his feelings. "Your Majesty, Rong Chuan is very good at Ning Hou Mansion."

The emperor's eyes were sharp, and then calm, as if the sharpness just now was an illusion, "You are his third uncle, Rong Chuan is naturally very good."

Ning Xu moved his lips. His father's plan was very good. Unfortunately, he miscalculated the emperor. The emperor was too kind to Rong Chuan. Rong Chuan was smart and guessed his life experience early.

The whereabouts of the emperor leaving the palace are not a secret. Everyone knows that the emperor has gone to Ninghou Mansion without any taboos, and has never left.

When King Liang got the news, he hadn't found any news for half a month, so he was so angry that he was even more upset. In addition, King Qi and King Chu were also investigating, and he became even more upset, "Rong Chuan, do you think your father is waiting for you to return home?"

At the last party, he felt a knot in his heart. In the past half month, Rong Chuan had not entered the palace, so he let it go. Now the knot is getting bigger and bigger. His intuition told him that his father did not leave for Rong Chuan.

Rong Chuan felt up and down, "I don't know."
