Chapter 101 Isn't the mother just supporting you?
In the main hall of the back garden.
"Oh, child, why are you crying? Mom won't make you embarrassed and just force you to live here." The eldest princess thought she was scared by Zhao Hao, so she quickly changed her words.
"I'm not making things difficult for me, the child is happy..." Zhao Hao's big black and white eyes were filled with tears. With his red lips and white teeth, he couldn't mention the pain.
He heard him choking and said, "I have lost my mother since I was a child, and I don't remember what my mother looks like. Now I finally know how it feels to make my mother hurt."
This made the eldest princess feel very distressed, so she quickly took a veil to wipe his tears.
"Didn't you say it long ago? From now on, I will be your biological mother, and this is your home."
Let alone the eldest princess, even Liu Shanggong and Ji Sizheng also shed tears with her.
Such a touching scene, if you don’t cry, you will be considered unkind.
~~
Zhao Hao learned from Uncle Liu this time, first to hug the eldest princess' thighs tightly; secondly, to prevent the eldest princess from being unhappy when she heard what she said later. If she didn't play with him, he would not be able to play alone.
It felt like the warming up of the relationship was almost the same, so he whispered:
"Today I went to Wu Shaofu's house in Shuntian Prefecture to pay New Year's greetings. I heard something that was quite uncomfortable. My son felt that he wanted to let my mother know as soon as possible."
After saying that, he said timidly: "If I want to be pure on the first day of the New Year, my son will tell you in a few days."
"Son, tell me." The eldest princess could not wait a few days later, so she urged angrily: "Mom, you have to listen. Who is not open to your eyes? I dare to make my son unhappy on the first day of the New Year. I don't see if I will peel him off!"
"Oh, mom..." Zhao Hao told the princess the whole story that he heard from Wu Shilai in a quiet voice.
"Ah..." When the eldest princess heard this, she couldn't help but let go of Zhao Hao's hand, sat quietly for a while with a serious expression, and asked Ji Si's righteous words:
"Have you heard of this?"
"I heard a little about your highness." Ji Sizheng was the representative of the eldest princess outside. If there was anything wrong with the imperial shop and the imperial villages and any news that they had to report to him first.
"Then why not report?" The eldest princess's jade face sank, and her phoenix eyes were cold and bright.
Ji Sizheng was so scared that his legs became weak and he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, I am stupid, I really didn't think about it... You and the two empresses gave porridge to the victims. This is a great thing for the thousands of families to be born in Buddhas. Who would be crazy and connect these two things?"
"It will be too late to contact someone." The eldest princess gritted her silver teeth and said, "This time I will take the imperial sister-in-law and the imperial concubine to do things together. There must be no mistakes. If the trouble ends, let the censors blame us, and the two empresses will blame me for being troubled..."
Zhao Hao looked at the eldest princess who showed her strong woman's demeanor from the side, and couldn't help but be surprised. He thought no wonder that my mother could manage so many imperial villages and imperial shops. It turned out that as long as she didn't involve her father, she was so smart and capable!
Of course, he didn't know that before he came, the eldest princess was so worried that she couldn't sleep and rolled back and forth in the bed because of the imperial concubine's possible support.
After hearing the news he brought, can the eldest princess not worry that the imperial concubine would take the opportunity to attack and give herself eye drops to her brother?
Although the emperor's brother probably won't listen to her, he always had to give up some of his property and take care of the royal concubine's brothers.
So, let’s give up on yourself, are there completely different concepts?
~~
‘No, I must try to make up for it…’ The eldest princess was secretly anxious and thought about her own way.
But how could there be any good idea for a while?
The eldest princess was frowning, but she heard Zhao Hao say timidly:
"Mom, I have a solution..."
"You?" The eldest princess was about to say, what do you know at a child's house? Then she realized that Zhao Hao had a lot of ideas - he could open the most popular restaurant in Jinling and teach Jie Yuanlang's genius!
The eldest princess waved her hand and repelled all the palace people, leaving only Liu Shanggong and Ji Sizheng to serve him from the side.
"Tell me, what good way is there?" The eldest princess couldn't help but look at Zhao Hao hopefully.
Liu Shanggong and Ji Sizheng also looked at Zhao Hao curiously, wondering if he was as magical as the eldest princess said.
"It's very simple. Since these refugees are restless because they lose their livelihood, just give them a new job." Zhao Hao said softly.
"Uh..." The eldest princess laughed dryly when she heard this, "This is a solution."
As he said that, he looked at her and said to Ji Sizheng: "Old Ji, what do you think?"
Ji Si's mouth twitched twice, knowing that the princess was asking her to make a bad face for her...
He and Liu Shanggong have a clear division of labor, one is responsible for the outside and the other is responsible for the inside. This is also the same when taking the blame.
Ji Sizheng had to take the blame silently and then said respectfully: "Young Master Zhao's method is good, but there are too many refugees. If you want to give birth to more than 100,000 people, you have to recruit at least tens of thousands of workers."
As he said that, he looked at Zhao Hao apologetically and said, "If this happens to the court, such as the canal and the construction of imperial tombs, your highness can try to tell His Majesty to see if he can use refugees to replace the civilians..."
After a pause, Ji Sizheng shook his head in denial and said, "I'm afraid that even if His Majesty is willing and the court approved it, those refugees will not be willing to be civil servants."
The people who serve corvee labor are the only ones who are useless to work for you. Many times, you even have to bring your own dry food.
If the refugees are willing to do it for nothing, why should they leave their hometown? Stay at home and wait for the officials to come to the door.
"And the court has no money. It turns out that the expenses after the summer of the year are not yet settled." Ji Sizheng spread his hands and completely denied Zhao Hao's idea: "So this method is good, but the time is not suitable."
The eldest princess couldn't hurt Zhao Hao's heart so much, so she frowned and scolded: "I am asking about our imperial village and imperial shop, how many workers can we hire?"
Ji Sizheng silently took the blame and pretended to think hard, saying, "It's not easy to deal with. Your Highness. The shop and the village have been farming for the royal family for generations. The servants who see the shop are already overcrowded and cannot drive them away.
"I don't care what you think of, even if you are a short-term worker, you have to arrange two thousand people to enter!" The eldest princess gritted her teeth and gave Zhao Hao enough face.
"Mom, I have my own arrangements for these people," but Zhao Hao shook his head and laughed: "Don't let Eunuch Ji be so forced."
"Oh, then are you here?" The eldest princess was confused by Zhao Hao.
"In addition to reporting this, my child is also trying to ask my mother to replace all the farms and shops you gave me with coal mines in Mentougou."
"My son." The eldest princess couldn't help but laugh and said in a silence: "Do you know how much the storefronts are worth in those farms? How much is the coal mine in Mentougou? If you change this way, you will lose a lot."
"It's all my mother who rewards me, what's the point of losing money?" Zhao Hao smiled sweetly and said, "If I don't feel sorry for it, I'll lend me your name to use it. Otherwise, there will be too many gods in this Beijing city and I'm afraid I can't stand it."
"Why do you have to borrow it? Isn't it just for you to support me?" The eldest princess waved her hand and showed her true thighs: "Just just mess around, as long as you don't break the sky, I can protect you!"
Liu Shanggong was sweating when he heard this, and he thought to himself, Your Highness, why did you get into this two men and women?
Are you not worried that Empress Li will look for an opportunity to give you eye drops?
