Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Dad, if it's all right, I'll take my brothers down to wash and rest."

They waited so late just to show him their efforts, and they were praised, so naturally there was no need to stay here.

"Well, rest early, Xiao Qi still sleeps with Tie Wazi?"

Ling Jingxuan nodded and looked at Sikong Qi, who had been holding Tie Wazi without letting go. Could this child be too obvious? What about an older child, Tie Wazi's gaze was like a tiger and a leopard. If it wasn't for their young age, he would have kicked him out of nowhere and hit his son on the head. Not small.

"Um"

Not much to say, after nodding at him, Sikong Qi bent towards Sikong Jue: "Father, Uncle Yang, Qi'er rests first."

After he finished speaking, no matter how Sikong Tam and the others reacted, Sikong Qi pulled Tie Wazi and turned around to leave, but Tie Wazi, who had been leading by his nose, turned back and said, "Brother, hurry up."

"Good night, father and father."

Yan Xiaobei was holding a younger brother in one hand, and the big bun was holding Yan Shangqing again. A group of little guys gave them a salute and turned around to follow. The little group was tired from playing during the day, and had long since asked Long Zhang to take them back to rest.

"Qing'er will come to live tomorrow, and let someone help him clean up a room and come out."

Looking at the children's backs, King Fujun suddenly said that he also came back at night, only one step ahead of Ling Jingxuan and the others, because the old emperor of their family said that he had something important to look for, but who knows what he heard after he went back It was Qing'er who also wanted to live in the palace, and asked him to tell Ling Jingxuan, Yan Shengfu almost rolled his eyes, didn't he just use the palace for a few days, as for urgently calling him back for something important? Caused him to be scolded by his father, mother and concubine for getting married again.

"Well, just live in Xiaowen's yard, it's convenient for the children to play together."

This time, Yan Shengrui did not object, the main child was not threatening, so Ling Jingxuan arranged it casually. The main body of the house outside the city has already been built, and it will be possible to move in in a month or two, and then move to the city. Going out, children don't have to work so hard to go to school.

"Just look at the arrangement. I'm going to write down the story of the havoc you told me last time in the Heavenly Palace. Qing'er will trouble you to take care of it."

Yan Shengfu was really not polite at all, and he passed the responsibility of taking care of the children to them. Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly and said casually: "By the way, have you ever thought about rehearsing a drama? To be honest, I don't even understand you singing. What's the matter, it's really not interesting, if you rehearse a drama, I won't give you silver every time, right?"

It still hurts when he thinks of the money he gave to those who sang. It wasn't because he was stingy. The main reason was that he paid 200 taels of money without understanding what they were singing. For Sikong Jue's design, the big buns and the others also gave each of them 100 taels, but they earned enough face. The big buns have been worried for several days, and it is estimated that even mentioning him still hurts.

"What is drama?"

Yan Shengfu looked at him strangely. He had only heard of such a novel term today. Others were also puzzled. Is there something they haven't seen before?

Well, they haven't seen a lot of them, but in that era, drama was indeed something that shouldn't appear, and it's not surprising that they haven't seen it.

"Simply put, it is to write a script, and then arrange for the actors to follow the script one by one on the stage to actually perform the plot. Compared with singing, there is no need to play and sing. Acting in life is enough, if you are interested, I have a touching story here, you can try it in a script."

Ling Jingxuan explained it briefly. The ancients had too little entertainment. Men were mostly romantic. Women only had the opportunity to watch dramas during Chinese New Year, festivals, or going to parties at other people's houses. Thinking about how to calculate others, how to fight.

"Then tell me."

Hearing the two words of the story, Yan Shengfu was decisively restless, although he didn't understand what his so-called drama was at all.

"Let's talk about it another day. It's late today. How are you? Have you figured out what identity you will use to talk to me?"

He glanced at him angrily, and Ling Jingxuan's eyes turned to Sikong Tam and Xue Wuyang. In fact, Yan Shengrui received news from the border not long ago that the emperor's most beloved son, the fourth prince's direct descendant, who is likely to be the prince in the future, has entered. The Qing Kingdom has landed, and he is accompanied by six princesses and eight princesses. No one knows exactly what they are here. It is estimated that he will arrive at the imperial city at the same time as the prince of the southern kingdom. Before that, he has to win over the western kingdom, at least get Sikong Tam It is only a promise made. At present, Beiman has been beaten to the ground, and he dare not commit crimes for at least two or three years. Year-round battles have made the national treasury very tight. These two or three years are quite critical to them. In any case, he will strive to give the Qing Kingdom a rest for a few years. When their treasury is abundant, it will not be whether the Eastern Conference will suddenly send troops, and it will not be whether the Beiman will make a comeback. Now, it's better to remove the tumor that explodes from time to time in the North Country and the North Man as soon as possible.

"what do you want?"

Looking at Yan Shengrui thoughtfully, Sikong Tam asked instead of Xue Wuyang, he also knew about the upcoming arrival of the Fourth Prince of the Eastern Kingdom and the Sixth Princess and the Eighth Princess, which was one of the reasons why they rushed back. That Sixth Princess is The women who wanted to marry him at the time, he didn't want to meet them for the time being. It was too embarrassing. He would leave before the people from Dongguo came. However, this time Dongguo was probably preparing to marry Qingguo.

? Last time, they only sent a few ministers to Xiguo to discuss the matter of marriage. This time, the fourth prince brought people directly, and there were only two of them. It was impossible for Qingguo to refuse. Otherwise, they would wait for their possibility. It is a war. Once the Eastern Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom are at war, the Western Kingdom will not be able to sit and watch the excitement. Only when the Three Kingdoms stand together can they maintain a temporary peace. In this chaotic world, it is estimated that there is no emperor who does not want to complete the great cause of unification.

Chapter 458

The world must be divided for a long time and it must be divided for a long time. This is an eternal law of nature. It is estimated that the emperors of the three kingdoms all had the grand desire to destroy the remaining two major kingdoms and unify the world. However, no one has realized it so far. Speaking of which, the Eastern Kingdom has the largest number of troops and strong troops and horses, while the Western Kingdom has a great advantage in weapons, and the people of the West are sturdy, and everyone is good at riding and fighting on the grasslands. There are also untimely bombs in southern Xinjiang. The treasury is empty every year. With the help of Ling Jingxuan and Zhao Dalong, the army has mastered the most advanced weapon smelting technology. Last year's agricultural reform also made the people in the pilot area live It's a good day, but the fundamental problem is still unresolved. In large-scale operations, the number of soldiers is often hundreds of thousands. If nothing else, the daily food alone is an unimaginable astronomical sum. If the national treasury cannot make ends meet, if there is a Three Kingdoms war, I am afraid that they will lose the money first. On the surface, the Qing Kingdom has the least chance of winning, and it should be the least hopeful to start a war.

"What this concubine wants is just a promise from the prince."

When he asked this, he had already explained his choice. Ling Jingxuan naturally wanted to talk to him in the capacity of Princess Sheng. Countries with more grasslands are more likely to have smallpox outbreaks. It is estimated that there have been many outbreaks in Western countries, right? If the Qing Kingdom is as strong as the East and West countries, he might give away cowpox for free. After all, his relationship with Sikongjue and Xue Wuyang is there, and cowpox is used to save people's lives, not to satisfy personal desires. Although he is not a good person, he is not so cruel, but now the national strength of the Qing country is obviously not as good as that of the two countries. Even if they have smelted the steel knife, in fact, until now, it is only a small number of soldiers. Not to mention, since Sikong Tam was interested in cowpox and didn't make good use of it, he would not be Ling Jingxuan.

"tell me the story."

Sikong Jue's eyes narrowed slightly. Before he left the city, the most he knew about Ling Jingxuan was through what Sikong Jue and Xue Wuyang told him, but in Lingjia Village, he heard a lot of rumors about Ling Jingxuan, including what he always thought was true. He has also heard about the agricultural reforms proposed by Chu Yunhan. In fact, they all came from Ling Jingxuan's ideas, plus everything he did for the Qing Kingdom, especially the free academy and free cowpox vaccination. As a future emperor, who would he compare to? Everyone knows that those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world. On the surface, those free policies are a loss, but in fact, whether it is him, Chu Yunhan, or Yan Xiaoming, who is about to become the prince of the Qing Kingdom, they have all gained more than money. A lot of intangible assets, this kind of thing seems very simple, but it is really difficult to do it, and it must be supported by a huge amount of money. From this aspect alone, Ling Jingxuan is undoubtedly a real talent for governing the country. His man Yan Shengrui, such a husband, intuitively told him that it is best not to be their enemy, although he asked himself that he would not lose to them, but it was not the result he wanted to see.
