In the evening, after Lin Jinxiao finished handling court affairs, he came to Rongde Palace. Chu Nanzhi had already ordered a dinner to be prepared. Looking at the neatly arranged family, he felt indescribably happy.
It feels like I'm still in Luyan Port.
Seeing that the smile on his face was as bright as an idiot, Chu Nanzhi didn't know what happy event he had received today to make him so happy.
However, both of them never mentioned anything about Zhaochun Palace and ate dinner with the family in silence.
After dinner, everyone was sent away, leaving only the couple. Chu Nanzhi lay on the couch and continued to remain silent.
But after waiting on the bed for a long time but no sign of the pretty girl coming over, she had no choice but to get up, put on her cloak and walked out silently.
When he arrived at his small bookstore, he saw the pretty boy sitting at his desk, concentrating on his thoughts.
"The emperor is in a good mood today. What are you brewing here after staying up so late at night?"
Chu Nanzhi asked angrily.
Hearing her voice, Lin Jinxiao raised his head, pulled her onto his lap and sat down. He smiled gently and said, "Good things happened one after another today. I'm so excited that I can't sleep."
"Then tell me, what are the good things?"
I have never seen him like this before, Chu Nanzhi couldn't wait to ask.
"Let's first talk about the taxes in Jiangnan this year. After the vigorous efforts of Shangshu Ji and Shaofu Yin, the tax money sent to the court from various states in Jiangnan in the past few days has been as much as 8 million taels. In previous years, the whole country was only like this."
Lin Jinxiao said happily: "If we wait until the new tax law is promulgated and implemented, the national treasury will be extremely rich in a few years. By then, I will be able to accompany you back to Luyan Port to live a leisurely life."
Chu Nanzhi smiled faintly.
Unexpectedly, he has been thinking about this matter.
I wonder if if he sits on the throne for a few more years, he will still only think about the world between himself and himself as he does now.
"Jiangnan has always been a fertile land. In the past, the government's land could not be used rationally, and the wealthy gentry and corrupt officials exploited it. A lot of tax money was eventually transferred to their pockets, and the national treasury was naturally difficult to fill."
Chu Nanzhi responded casually and asked, "What other happy events are there?"
Lin Jinxiao talked about several things in succession, including Li Ce's annihilation of Bula, the two major tribes of Yanzhi, and the officials selected for the Langzhou Examination had arrived in Beijing one after another. But when he talked about the last thing, he paused and waited for a long time.
Then he said: "Today, Taiwei Yin entered the palace and donated more than 300,000 acres of land on behalf of the Yin family of Qinghe to help the court implement the new policy. He also donated 500,000 taels of silver to help the disaster relief in the north."
"I didn't expect that the Yin family would be so open-minded. Taiwei Yin is indeed the pillar of the country."
Chu Nanzhi knew in her heart that these fields and money were the property that Yin Sinian had concealed when he confiscated the Tang family, and now they were just returning it to the court with another excuse.
However, it is indeed rare for this old uncle to know how to find his way back and make a good start for a wealthy family.
Thinking that Chu Nanxiang was about to marry into the Yin family, she asked casually: "Then what are you going to do with the Yin family?"
"Sanlang will soon return to the court with his troops in the past few days. It's time to give him a reward and show his kindness to the world."
Lin Jinxiao lowered his head and looked at the unfinished list of seals on the desk: "Today, my uncle took the initiative to resign because of his old age and go into seclusion. Although I agreed to him, thinking about his meticulous management of the imperial court over the years, I still feel...
I am determined to let him enjoy the honor and enjoy his old age."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the words "Combating Yin Sinian as Rong Dinggong" that were not yet dry on the paper, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It is said that once an emperor comes to his court, I was originally worried that the pretty boy would kill the heroes when he became the emperor, but he was able to treat the old ministers well and let these elders retire after their achievements, which is really gratifying.
Then she continued to glance at the directory, and when she found the names of the Ji family appeared on it, she couldn't help but be startled.
Seeing her looking at the desk in trance, Lin Jinxiao immediately explained: "Rong Heng is stationed in the three states of Qinghe. Since he is the eldest grandson of the second wife of the Ji family, he will continue to inherit the title of An Guogong. As for Ji Shangshu, the father and son of them and Shu The princess has done great service to the court, so she cannot treat her uncle coldly."
"Your Majesty has thought carefully and I think it is very appropriate."
Chu Nan Zhi nodded and agreed.
I only hope that the entire Ji family can contribute to the implementation of the New Deal like the Yin family did, or at least not become a roadblock.
"It's late at night, let's go to bed early."
Looking at the dim room, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but yawned a few times.
After talking to her for a while, Lin Jinxiao's excitement calmed down a lot. He slowly walked to the bedside with her in his arms, lay down and was about to blow out the candle, but thinking about her donation of money today, he felt happy but Feeling a little guilty again.
"Now that the New Deal is being implemented, although the northern lands still need support from the imperial court, the states in the south of the Yangtze River can make up for it, so you don't need to save money in the palace."
Lin Jinxiao looked at her and warned her seriously: "Although I don't like you doing these merchants' jobs, it is still what you want to do and I will comply with your wishes. In the past, I had no choice in the village, but now you do it." Queen, I just hope that you will not be wronged again."
"There is no grievance."
Chu Nanzhi stared at his clear eyes and said with a playful smile: "My ancestors are always considerate, my husband loves me, and my little babies are docile and sensible. I think it's good. My husband wants to be a wise king, so I naturally want him to be a wife." , if you are extravagant and extravagant in the palace, it will be inappropriate."
After hearing this, Lin Jinxiao hugged her tighter: "Seeing that the lady and the imperial grandmother get along so harmoniously, it makes you feel a little wronged after all. I heard that Rui Ji and Rui Si have been staying since they returned to the palace. Although you didn't say anything in the Imperial Grandmother's Palace, I also know that you are thinking about the two brothers and sisters. Tomorrow you will go to Zhaochun Palace to pay your respects. I will personally talk to the Imperial Grandmother and bring them back."
"Anyway, we can see him every day. Let's wait until a while to discuss this matter."
Chu Nanzhi replied in a calm tone.
It was the first time that she truly experienced being a mother, but having to suffer the pain of being separated from her children, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she knew that the Empress Dowager was a reasonable person and would not dominate the two little ones all the time.
After all, he is an elderly person who has been alone in the palace for so many years. Now he has finally reunited with his grandparents and grandchildren. It is understandable that he wants to get along with the babies more. If Lin Jinxiao is asked to ask for a child at this time, it will appear that he is ignorant. Already.
Worried that he would continue to be troubled by this matter, Chu Nanzhi leaned in his arms and said softly: "The Imperial Grandmother has been waiting for you for more than twenty years to return to the capital. She likes the babies to stay in front of her and obey her." Well, the worst I can do is go to Zhaochun Palace a few more times every day, and I see my ancestors taking good care of Rui Ji and Rui Si, and I feel happier than I do with my mother."
After hearing this, Lin Jinxiao felt as sweet as honey.
Thinking back to his past interactions with the Chen family in the village, what he was most worried about was the relationship between his wife and his grandmother.
On one side is his most respected grandmother, and on the other side is his most beloved woman. Both of them are the strongest. I was originally worried that the mother-in-law and grandson would have conflicts due to matters in the palace, but Chu Nanzhi’s words
It immediately relieved his heart, but made him feel a little nauseous.
If a wife is found like this, what else can a husband ask for?
His raised thin lips pressed lightly against her forehead. Now he just looked forward to spending more time with her every day.
