Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang suddenly felt that it was worthwhile for the prince not to take concubines.
"The princess is indeed a strange woman."
After hearing the compliments from Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang, Pei Lin was in an indescribably good mood. He looked at Lin Xiaozhi and said, "Has my cousin finished writing the declaration and the statement of guilt that I asked my cousin to write earlier?"
Lin Xiaozhi nodded quickly: "It's written."
Pei Lin looked at Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang: "Leave it to Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang to implement these two things."
The reason why he roped in Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang was because they were well-known Confucian scholars from a well-known family and had disciples, making it much easier to do things.
Mr. Xie and Mr. Wang immediately stood up and respectfully accepted the order.
Pei Lin happily took the fine salt developed by Beili and walked happily to the backyard.
In the backyard, Feng Jing is writing the plan she mentioned earlier. She wants to implement these plans as soon as possible. The people in Youzhou are too poor. It is impossible for them to live a good life in a short time, but she can do her best.
Let them eat enough first.
Feng Jing was thinking while writing. Outside the door, Pei Lin strode in. Feng Jing looked up and saw Pei Lin rushing in and said excitedly: "Feng Jing, look, fine salt has been made."
Feng Jing suddenly became happy. She stood up and walked to Pei Lin. She took a closer look at his hands and found that the salt was still a bit rough compared with modern salt. However, the equipment for making salt now is manual and can make such salt.
It is already extremely difficult to make fine salt.
Feng Jing did not displease Pei Lin and nodded happily: "That's right, that's it. The salt factory can start making salt..."
Before Feng Jing finished speaking, Pei Lin excitedly reached out to hug her, leaned over and kissed her face: "This is all your fault, Jing Jing, thank you."
Pei Lin couldn't help but do these actions because she was too excited and happy. She didn't react until she finished and was stunned.
Feng Jing was also stunned. She happened to rush in from the east fence and the north fence outside the door. As soon as she rushed in, she saw her prince and princess hugging each other. The two of them blushed and hurriedly retreated out.
Previously, the prince walked too fast and they couldn't catch up. Unexpectedly, in such a short gap, the prince and the princess hugged each other.
Haha, they won't have a little master again, right?
In the main hall, Feng Jing was awakened by Dong Li and Bei Li's movements. She quickly pushed Pei Lin away, gave him an annoyed look, and warned: "Don't always touch me in the future. If you dare to do this again next time,
, see how I kick you."
Although she said harshly, Pei Lin did not feel intimidated. He looked at Feng Jing with a gentle smile and said, "Didn't you say you would give me a chance?"
"Giving a chance doesn't mean giving you a chance to do anything."
After Feng Jing finished speaking, Pei Lin looked at her and reminded her with a kind face: "Actually, compared with the princess, I am nothing."
Fengjing understood as soon as she heard his words that he was reminding her that she slept with him before.
Feng Jing suddenly felt uncomfortable and quickly called Dong Li and Bei Li who were outside. When they came in, she looked at Bei Li and asked, "How is the sauce going?"
Bei Li quickly replied: "To return to the princess, we have already made the sauce that the princess told us about. We ordered people to build the sauce shop before, and the sauce shop has been built. Now that everything is ready, we are waiting to start the work."
Feng Jing nodded, looked at Bei Li and said, "The soy sauce shop can be turned into an assembly line, and we can recruit local people from Youzhou to work. All we need to do is sign a contract."
"As for the salt workshop, the fine salt is not open to the public for the time being, so don't recruit people, let your own people do it."
"You can find a seller for salt and sauce. I remember that the prince told me about the thirteen aristocratic families in Youzhou before. Presumably these thirteen aristocratic families have businesses. The prince can win over the two families and give them the salt and sauce for sale.
Let’s just take the big head and the small head and let them have it. This way we can win over the two big families and make money at the same time, so why not do it.”
After Feng Jing said a lot of words, she felt much calmer.
On the side of the main hall, after listening to her words, Pei Lin looked down at Bei Li and said: "Act according to the princess's order."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Dong Li and Bei Li retreated. In the main hall, Pei Lin reached out and took Feng Jing's hand and walked to one side.
Feng Jing subconsciously wanted to shake off his hand, but unfortunately Pei Lin held her tightly, making it impossible for her to shake off his hand.
"open."
Pei Lin did not dare to tease Feng Jing anymore, let go of her hand, and the two of them walked to one side and sat down.
Pei Lin looked at Feng Jing seriously and said: "Jingjing, I have decided to reduce the taxes of the people of Youzhou for two years. Although it was reduced by 30% before, it is still difficult for the people of Youzhou who do not have enough food and clothing. But
In the past, I had to raise troops, so even though I knew the people were in trouble, I couldn't do anything about it."
"Now that I will soon have money to raise an army, I have decided to reduce or exempt the people's land taxes. What do you think?"
Fengjing was happy for the people: "It's pretty good."
Pei Lin looked at Feng Jing with respect and said: "Actually, the people's taxes can be reduced because of your contribution. If you hadn't come up with the secret recipes for making salt, sauce and sugar, I wouldn't be able to implement them even if I wanted to, so
I thank you on behalf of the people of Youzhou."
"Because fine salt cannot be released at the moment, I can't announce this to the public for the time being, but sooner or later I will let the people of Youzhou know that they can reduce or reduce taxes, all because of Jingjing."
After hearing what she said, Feng Jing couldn't help being speechless. She looked at Pei Lin and said, "Do you think I am a person who covets fame? I only do what I should do and never thought about getting any fame."
After hearing what Feng Jing said, Pei Lin immediately said dotingly: "Yes, yes, our Jingjing is just kind-hearted and can't bear the hardships of the people."
After hearing his affectionate words, Feng Jing's cheeks couldn't help but get hot, and she glared at Pei Lin angrily: "What are you talking about?"
Pei Lin couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. It turned out that his princess was also shy sometimes.
Pei Lin did not dare to tease Feng Jing too harshly for fear of offending Feng Jing. Just as he was about to change the subject, Li Xiuzhu led someone outside to report.
"Your Majesty, the young lady from Lord Mu Shi's residence in Shizhou wants to see Your Majesty."
Pei Lin frowned slightly and said angrily: "What's she doing here? She's missing."
Li Xiuzhu was about to turn around and go out, but Feng Jing stopped her from behind: "Go and invite her in. I'm quite curious about her meeting the prince."
Li Xiuzhu turned around and walked out. In the main hall, Pei Lin took Feng Jing's hand and said, "I have no intention of accepting her. Please don't misunderstand me, Jingjing."
Feng Jing glanced at Pei Lin and found that his eyebrows and eyes were looking at her intently. They were so beautiful that they couldn't describe it. Feng Jing was stunned for a moment.
When Pei Lin saw her expression, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. It seemed that she was still somewhat attractive.
The hall was silent for a moment, and the two people looked at each other silently, with unknown tenderness overflowing in them.
Outside the door, Li Xiuzhu walked in with Shi Linhui.
As soon as the two people came in, they saw King Jin and Princess Jin looking at each other affectionately. This way, people could see their affection for each other at a glance.
