Chapter 47 I want to hear my grandson call me Grandpa
At one o'clock, Yuanjiu went to the hot spring village. Before leaving, Yuanjiu went to Yuanman to get the 100 kilograms of rice seeds.
After Yuanman gave it to him, he also gave him some precautions.
After Yuan Jiu left, Yuan Yue came in and said, "Master, the cook was not brought here. Do you need me to go down the mountain and buy two?"
Yuan Man was stunned for a moment. She really had forgotten this. "Go ahead and pay attention to your character."
"Yes."
Yuan Man looked around, and told Yuan Yue and Feng Ziyu to install the guardrails around the temple first. After making sure that everything was fine, he sat on the stone in front of the Hanging Temple, looking at the screen and city not far away.
She should buy a house with better privacy in Pinghe City, one to use as a warehouse, and the other as a transit station for Qinheshan.
Thinking of this, he called Yuan Yue again, gave him 100,000 taels of silver, and asked him to choose a house closer to Qinhe Mountain.
After Yuan Yue left, Yuan Man turned around and looked in the direction of Kyoto City. The first thing he saw was Lucheng, and after Lucheng was Kyoto City.
As she looked at it, she prepared to go to Lucheng to sign in.
Originally, she wanted to take Yuanbao with her, but when she thought that Lucheng was too close to Kyoto, she gave up the idea.
After saying hello to Grandma Liu and the children, he changed into men's clothes and went down the mountain by himself.
When Feng Ziyu came to look for someone, he found nothing. After asking, he found out that the person had left again.
"Yuan Yue, do you have any money? I need to buy some tools."
Yuan Yue nodded, "My master gave me another 100,000 taels before he left. What do you want to buy?"
If you buy the house, there should be some left.
Feng Ziyu's eyes lit up, "That's enough. You come with me. Anyway, I can't get down the mountain now and need someone to lead me."
Yuanyue thought about it for a moment and agreed.
At this time, the capital city of Kyoto was in a state of panic, and all the clan members were punished.
The Crown Prince of Duan was directly demoted to a commoner, and Prince Duan was demoted to Prince Duan, and he had to hand over the more than four million taels of silver he had embezzled.
Marquis Yongxing was punished for multiple crimes, all his property was confiscated, his entire family was executed, and all his relatives within the nine clans were exiled to the far north.
Prince Duan looked at the imperial edict and almost killed the rebellious son.
He used up all the money, but he still had to ask his father to pay for the compensation.
Where did he get so much silver?
He even had his title demoted. If this wasn't his own son, he would have torn him into pieces.
In the end, he personally searched for two million taels of silver from Hui Zhengyang and added some of his own money, but he could only get together three million. Eight hundred thousand taels. In the end, he could only cry poor in front of the emperor, saying that he could not come up with the silver, as most of the silver that Hui Zhengyang had embezzled had been used up.
He cried for half an hour, and only then did he pay off the remaining fine.
After Prince Duan left the palace, he thought about the more than 100,000 kilograms of grain he had on hand, and the depression that had arisen in the palace subsided a little.
But when he returned to the palace and heard Ji Chong say that the prince had brought 500,000 kilograms of special grain, he almost choked to death.
Prince Duan stepped forward and grabbed Ji Zhong by the collar and shouted, "What sweet potato? Where did you get it from?"
Ji Zhong looked at him and said, "The prince brought him back from Mingzhou City."
"It was sold to the prince by Marquis Leshan. It was 500,000 catties of sweet potatoes and 50,000 catties of potatoes."
"They have already collected the grain, why do you only know about it now?" Prince Duan's eyes were almost red.
Now that the prince has these 500,000 kilograms of grain, the more than 100,000 kilograms of grain he has in his hands will have to be thrown away.
Ji Chong sighed secretly, he knew this day would come.
If they can grow a thousand acres of rice, how is it possible that they don’t have other crops?
I advised Prince Duan to sell the grain at a high price, but he refused. It's no use blaming anyone now.
Prince Duan panted heavily, his eyes fierce as he said, "Marquis Leshan, right? You always ruin my good deeds. If I can't find you, don't I still have your family members?"
"Ji Zhong, send someone to find the wife of Marquis Leshan and bring her back."
Ji Chong thought about the people he sent out to investigate last time. Only three of the five came back, and he didn't know how the other two were killed. He couldn't help but feel worried.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Leshan is not a good person. If we arrest his relatives, I'm afraid he will retaliate."
Prince Duan sneered and said, "How can a pariah who has just been made a marquis fight back?"
"Just do as I command you."
Ji Zhong sighed again, bowed and left.
Decision, it’s time to get off.
The emperor had just received the 3.8 million taels of corrupt silver from Prince Duan, and before he could be happy for a moment, he saw the memorial handed in by Crown Prince Hui Chengyuan, and the blue veins on his forehead almost popped out.
He rubbed his temples, stood up and walked towards the harem.
On the second day, the Duke of Qin's Mansion donated 1.5 million taels of silver to the court, and Concubine Qin was demoted to Concubine Qin.
When Hui Chengyuan found out, he went to the palace immediately and asked the emperor for 300,000 taels of silver to pay off his debt.
After the emperor gave him the silver, he said, "Xiao'er, you are already twenty-two years old now, is it time to consider marriage?"
"You are my only son, so there is no need to weigh the pros and cons. Just marry whoever you want."
"Regarding checks and balances, you can consider it when you choose a concubine after you ascend the throne."
His queen, Hui Chengyuan's mother, was not a daughter of a prominent family, but a woman he married because he loved her.
After the emperor mentioned marriage, the first person Hui Chengyuan thought of was that woman.
But the woman ran away so quickly that it was obvious that she probably wouldn't agree.
"Father, don't worry..."
The emperor knew what he was going to say and said immediately, "How can I not be anxious? Among the royal family, whoever is your age, all his sons will crawl on the ground and fight."
"Your mother can't urge you, she just stares at me all day long."
"Now, not only does she want to hold her grandson, I also want to hold her and hear her call me Grandpa."
Hui Chengyuan's mouth twitched, and he really wanted to say, you already have a grandson, but his mother took him away.
But I was afraid that if I said it out loud, it would never end, so I kept silent.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, the emperor said forcefully, "I don't care. You have to choose a crown princess next year, otherwise your mother and I will choose for you."
"It's settled, you can leave now."
Hui Chengyuan thought about it and felt that he should be there in time, so he bowed and left in silence.
The emperor saw that he left without refutation, and blinked for a long time, then looked at the chief steward Cao beside him and asked, "Does he agree?"
Cao Zongguan replied, "He must have agreed, otherwise His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have argued with you long ago."
The emperor looked at the prince's back as he left and thought that his son was acting a little abnormal.
However, it would be best if he agreed. When he looked at other people's babies, he was also very excited.
But his son was too disappointing, like a piece of wood that had not yet become intelligent, so he had to return the concubine that he had been given.
The emperor looked at the 1.5 million taels of silver he had just received, and in a blink of an eye, he lost 300,000 taels, and felt a little reluctant to give it away.
But when he thought of the confiscated property of the Yongxing Marquisate, which was worth nearly one million taels, and the corrupt silver paid by Prince Duan, he suddenly felt that it was nothing.
Of course, all this is thanks to Marquis Leshan.
Since the appearance of Marquis Leshan, he found that there were more things to do, but the treasury was full, there were fewer small fish, and the country began to be stable.
After those relief grains were distributed, at least no people starved to death.
Now that they are growing high-yield crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, he doesn’t know how to reward them.
It’s a bit ridiculous to think about it. Anguo has been established for hundreds of years, but now it relies on a little-known Marquis Leshan who has no power to reverse the situation.
However, those who have enjoyed the stability of Anguo for hundreds of years have done nothing and have been looking for trouble all day long, thinking about things they shouldn’t think about.
However, some people cannot be touched now, such as members of the royal family and those ministers who hold military power.
But it will be soon. As long as Anguo is stable, the good show can begin.
