"No," Rong Xiaoyu pinched her face, "How can my husband have anything on his mind? Does it mean that he looks very worried?"
Shen Bingning nodded vigorously, "Yes."
Rong Xiaoyu shook his head, his eyes were focused on something, but it quickly passed away. "Are the snacks in the palace delicious?"
"It's delicious." Sure enough, when she mentioned the snacks, Shen Bingning couldn't think about anything else. She concentrated on thinking about the snacks. Those snacks were indeed delicious and couldn't be bought outside.
"I'll ask Brother Huang for that chef to give to you, okay?"
"Okay, okay," Shen Bingning nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice. This is the best. She can eat delicious snacks every day. By the way, she also has to eat them with Yao Qi.
Rong Youyu raised the corners of his lips slightly, but something still seemed to be pressing on his heart, which was very heavy.
Shen Bingning originally thought she was embarrassed that night, but in the end, she did what she could do and what she couldn't do. She was a little resigned to her fate, and she was getting happier and happier. She was living a turbulent life in this palace.
.
Especially when someone calls her "Princess", she becomes happy.
This feels really good.
Rong Xiaoyu went to the palace again. He went to the palace often recently and didn't know what to say. Shen Bingning had nothing to do at home. He had visited all the places in the palace, even those
No corner or corner was spared.
It wasn't until she entered the palace's warehouse and opened it that she was dumbfounded. How could the warehouse be empty? It was empty and there wasn't even a copper plate. Xin Dao said that all they used here was silver.
Ticket?
The housekeeper also looked ashamed.
"I'm sorry, Princess, there is no extra money in the palace. There was still some money left. It has been spent almost since the prince got married. The rest was sent to the palace by the prince, probably to the treasury..."
"What, no money?" Shen Bingning really felt like she was going to be petrified.
"If you don't have money, how can you not have money?" This Rong Xiao Yu is a prince no matter what. She doesn't say that he will plunder people with high profile, but at least he will have a certain amount of money. How can he not have it?
, there is no woolen cloth.
The housekeeper's old face turned even redder, "Yes, Princess, we haven't paid monthly payments for a long time, so there is really no money in this mansion."
Shen Bingning simply couldn't believe her ears. No way, she could be so poor.
"Don't your princes own Jinzhou? Then there will always be taxes in the fiefdom, right?"
It's okay if we don't mention Jinzhou. When it comes to Jinzhou, the housekeeper always has tears in his eyes, "Princess, you don't know, this Jinzhou simply doesn't collect any grass. Don't talk about taxes. I don't know how much money the prince has to put in it every year."
," Their prince was basically impoverished by that Jinzhou.
Shen Bingning finally understood why Shen Shuang had that expression when he heard the word Jinzhou.
"Where is King Dongping's fiefdom?" She sat down and tapped the table with her fingers. It was hard to guess whether her mood was good or bad.
"Prince Dongping?" The official wiped his face, "Prince Dongping's fiefdom is Dezhou. It has a vast land and rich resources, and the agriculture is very developed. What you grow grows, it can be said that the weather is smooth, and the tax collected every year is also
countless."
"So, our family was silenced," Shen Bingning bit out these few words. "They were silenced. Yes, they were silenced. They all belonged to the prince, so why did they become Jiangnan when they were called Jiangnan?"
Mo Bei said, "Isn't this emperor too partial? He doesn't care about his own brothers, but only cares about other people's promotion and wealth."
"No, no," the housekeeper quickly waved his hand, "Princess, that's not the case. The prince himself took the initiative to come to Jinzhou. If the prince hadn't taken over Jinzhou, he would have spent a lot of money there every year.
Do you know how many more people will die there?"
"Princess, our prince is really a good man."
"Yes, good man," Shen Bingning stood up. Her good self was about to starve to death. She didn't know whether to cry or laugh now. She has a good husband, but she is also an idiot and a good old man. This idiot
Well, it’s better to be a good person. She pursed her lips and said,
She is still a good person. She sat down again, took a cup and drank water. Cold sweat broke out on the butler's head. She didn't know if it was because of Shen Bingning's silence.
After a long time, Shen Bingning put down the cup. She touched her body and took out a banknote. "Butler, there is a thousand tael of banknote here. You can take it first and collect the money from the people in the house."
The monthly payment has been paid, and everything that Jia Tong owed before has been paid. If it is not enough, ask me again."
The butler took the banknote with trembling hands. "Princess, are you really going to give this to us?"
"Well," Shen Bingning nodded and waved her hand lightly, "You go down first,"
The housekeeper quickly retreated, going to collect money. Shen Bingning propped up her chin. She had to think about it carefully. She seemed to have a prodigal husband, and another one was left to her husband.
Raised fiefdom.
No, she must go to Jinzhou when she has time. She really doesn't believe that someone with hands and feet will starve to death.
When Rong Xiaoyu came back in the evening, he was exhausted again. As soon as he saw Shen Bingning, no matter how tired he was, he walked over and put his hand on her shoulder, "Bingning, I'm sorry.
The things here have been very hard on you."
Shen Bingning pulled down his hand and squeezed it tightly, "What do you think of me? I'm not a person who can't endure hardships. You have forgotten that when we only had one bun, it was half for each of us, and a bowl of water for two people."
Divided."
Rong Xiaoyu held her hand tightly, feeling the guilt in his heart growing more and more.
Shen Bingning raised her face and touched his forehead. This was his favorite move. Now she has learned it, "What, you still haven't raised any money?"
"Yes," Rong Xiaoyu sat down, took the cup and took a sip. The look in his eyes had faded a lot recently, and the fatigue came out from his bones, saying that he was very tired.
Very tired, so tired that even breathing is difficult.
"Brother Emperor first came to the throne. In order to stabilize the people's sentiments, he reduced taxes in many places. In addition, in recent years, the north has not had good weather, so the treasury has become increasingly empty, especially as many places have suffered serious disasters.
The already insufficient treasury has thrown a lot of money away, so now it is really difficult to get it out again."
Shen Bingning listened. It was really difficult. It was difficult to be the emperor, and it was also difficult to be the emperor's younger brother.
