The ancestor of the apocalypse is so cool after being reborn!

The proud expression on Aunt Sun's face froze, she squinted her eyes and stared at the end of the garden, and snorted coldly, "Where do men go, we women can control, anyway, our purpose of coming out this time has been achieved, and the rest is left alone .”

However, after leaving the garden, Aunt Sun ordered her maid to find out who King Qian had gone to.

Besides, it was the first time for King Qian to come to the small courtyard where Xia Jing lived.

Because only Xia Jing and her servants lived in the small courtyard, it can be said that hers is the quietest courtyard in the entire backyard compared to other crowded courtyards.

King Qian stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked down at his clothes, and then stepped into the courtyard.

The small flower bed in the yard is not planted with ornamental flowers and plants, but some climbing vines. As a humble king who stretches out his clothes and opens his mouth when he is born, he really can't tell what kind of plant it is?
But he can be sure that this is not a rare and precious flower.

A little maid who was squatting by the flower bed weeding heard the movement behind her, looked back, was startled, and stood up tremblingly, "Wang, Wang, Wang Ye."

Seeing such an unruly little maid, Anu scolded: "Bold! A lowly maid who has no rules, doesn't know how to show respect when meeting the prince?"

The little servant girl is just a poor servant girl in the small courtyard. She is not very old, only 13 years old. The little girl was so frightened that she almost cried when she was scolded by Anu. My lord, my lord, spare my life, my lord, spare my life!"

King Qian waved his hands indifferently, and Anu who was following behind him immediately took a step back and did not speak again.

"You little girl, you are yelling for mercy before the king speaks. Later, the princess will definitely misunderstand the king again. Get up quickly, and the king forgives you for your innocence."

The little maid quickly thanked Shane and stood up.

King Qian pointed to the climbing vines in the flower bed, and asked the doubts in his heart, "I ask you, what is this thing? Is it a famous flower or grass from outside the territory?"

The little maid was relieved when she heard the question, she knew this.

"My lord, this thing is called sweet potato, and it is said that it was brought back from Fanwai by sea boat."

"The extra thing, where did the princess get it? Does she know this thing?"

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Xia Jing and two maidservants came out of the house, just in time to hear King Qian asking questions, she frowned in displeasure, "Oh, my concubine thought who came to my courtyard It turned out to be the prince who was playing big cards to show off his prestige. I didn't know that the prince was coming to visit, and I was far away from welcoming him, and I was guilty of sin."

King Qian left the little maid and walked down the corridor, "My princess doesn't speak in a strange way here. Don't know what's good or bad. The king is here today because he has a serious business with you."

When Xia Jing heard this, her head was full of black lines. Could it be that this man is still seeking her for something unscrupulous?

King Qian passed her proudly and entered the main room for the first time.

Walking into the main room, he went straight to the main seat and sat down. He looked at the living room in the main room, which was as cramped as his small courtyard.

But cooler than his house!
Anu, who was following King Qian, felt the temperature drop a few degrees as soon as he entered the house. He looked around every corner of the house calmly, and finally found four ice basins in the four corners of the house.

hiss!
He took a deep breath, what a great handwriting!

No, there is no snow in Lingnan in winter, so where does the ice come from?

Xia Jing turned around and came in behind, looked at the old man who entered the room, and sat down, "Your Highness is here today?"

"I am busy."

King Qian waited for Hongmei to serve tea before answering her.

"What's the matter?" Xia Jing was very curious about the reason why King Qian came to her yard.

King Qian did not answer her question, but first asked about the scene he saw in the yard just now, "I saw that the flower bed in the princess's yard was full of climbing vines called sweet potatoes. Can you tell me about sweet potatoes?" What is it?"

Sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes. There were a few left in the kitchen in her space, so she took them out to make seeds.

"It's a kind of foreign food. I found it by accident and bought it. I want to try planting it in the yard."

King Qian seemed to understand, and nodded: "Can you eat it?"

"I heard it's edible, but I'm not sure." Xia Jing glanced at him and asked again, "What's the matter with you today? Tell me!"

Anu secretly poked King Qian from behind.

King Qian looked back at him with a puzzled expression, wondering why he poked him?

Anu pursed his lips and motioned him to look at the ice basin in the corner of the room.

Xia Jing, who has psychic powers, has already noticed the flirting between master and servant, but she just doesn't want to expose them.

The summer in Lingnan is not friendly to obese people at all.

King Qian is the one who feels that Lingnan Xia is not friendly to him. It can be said that there is no ice in Lingnan, and summer is completely dependent on getting through.

For King Qian, who has ice in hot summer, the summer here is very difficult.

Therefore, King Qian found that the ice basin in the corner reacted the most, and he would not be as secretive as Anu and dare not show it.

He stood up directly, walked to the ice basin to feel the long-lost coolness, hummed comfortably, and then suppressed the shock in his heart and asked, "Princess, where did you get this ice?"

This time Xia Jing didn't answer him directly, but asked: "Before answering your question, should the lord tell me why you came here today?"

"Oh~" King Qian remembered his purpose of coming here, and took out the confiscated list from his sleeve pocket, "This king searched the Lou family and found that the Lou family has a lot of property in Fucheng, among which there are several houses, the size of which is quite large. It’s suitable for my Yue’s family, so I’ll bring them all here for you to choose and see which one is suitable? If it’s suitable, send someone to clean it up, and let the parents-in-law and the others live there as soon as possible, after all, there are many places where it’s inconvenient to stay in an inn.”

Xia Jing originally wanted to domineeringly refuse, but thought that even if she could rebuild the house, the process would take a long time, and it would not be a problem for a large family from her natal family to live in the inn.

Thinking of this, she took the list and carefully looked at several properties. There were three courtyards, five courtyards, the youngest two courtyards, and shops with backyards.

You don't need to look at the courtyard twice, it's definitely not enough for the Xia family, but you can buy it for Sister Xia to prepare.

Entering the courtyard three times is still a bit small for the prosperous Xia family.

"I want the five-entry house, the second-entry house, and this shop with a backyard. How much money do these three properties cost? When the money from the salt shop arrives next month, I'll ask the servant girl to send it to you."

King Qian intended to give it to her, but he didn't expect that she would pay the money when she opened her mouth. This reaction made him stunned on the spot for a while.

"No, princess, this house is given to you by the king, and you don't need to give money."

"give me?"

The temperature inside the room was lower than outside. After entering for a while, his whole body became cold. King Qian felt cooler and his mood improved.

In a good mood, the three assets were sent out with a wave of his hand.

Xia Jing saw that he really wanted to give it away, so she didn't show politeness to him. In name, she was still his concubine, so logically speaking, what was his was hers.

Take it out of your left pocket and put it in your right pocket, no need to be polite.

Seeing that Xia Jing accepted the real estate he gave, King Qian heaved a sigh of relief, and asked about the ice, "Princess, now it's your turn to answer my king's question, where did you get the ice?"

Xia Jing looked down at the list in her hand, she was shocked by the background of the aristocratic family, after hearing King Qian's question, she replied without raising her head, "Oh, I made it myself."

"self-made?"

This time, the King of Qian was shocked.

Xia Jing raised her head and smiled lightly: "Yes, in two days my salt shop will sell ice. If you want to use ice, you can go to my salt shop to buy it."

As she said that, she shook the list in her hand, "Anyway, you have made a lot of money, and there is still some money for ice in summer."

King Qian looked at her in astonishment, and asked in disbelief: "Do you still need to buy ice if your family uses it?"

Xia Jing asked straightforwardly: "Do I need to pay money when I go to their dowry shops?"

King Qian: "."

He coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment, "You're right, whoever in their room can't bear it will have to pay for ice if they want to use it."

Xia Jing nodded, deeply agreeing.

"Princess, you see that we are currently living in the Houya, the place is a bit small, it is too inconvenient for a large family to live in."

While speaking, King Qian pushed the list of confiscations on the table, and said in a questioning tone: "The Lou family's ancestral house is not bad, with a spacious yard and many yards. It is more than enough for our family to live in. You can go and see it with me. , if we are satisfied with finding an auspicious day in a few days, we will move?"

"The Lou family's house?"

King Qian didn't say anything, but Xia Jing couldn't remember that Lou's house would be vacant.

"Yes, Lou's family has been sent to prison, and the house has been vacated. In the past few days, the king will send someone to clean it up and move in."

King Daqian has never experienced such hardship since he was a child, and it is really hard for him to live in Houya all the time.

Now that a mansion is vacant, he can't wait to move there immediately.

Xia Jing hesitated for a moment, and for the sake of King Qian's good performance today, he offered to give him the house.

"Okay, let's go now?"

King Qian nodded happily, "Yes, while it's still early today, let's go over there and have a look. If you feel dissatisfied with something, we will send someone to change it."

In fact, from the middle of the Dayu Dynasty, with the prosperity of national power and economy, aristocratic families and merchants had money in their hands, so they began to think of ways to enjoy it.

As a result, the social ethos of the Dayu dynasty was corrupted, and extravagance became the norm.

In the end, even the regulations of the imperial court were ignored, and they tried to surpass them little by little.

Clothes aside, the entire architectural style and regulations of Shan Lou's ancestral house have already exceeded the rules of etiquette.

According to the laws of the Yu Dynasty, the Lou family would not be wronged if they ransacked their family and exterminated their clan.

Anu held a paper umbrella for King Qian, and Hongmei also held a paper umbrella for Xia Jing. Walking in the building complex of Lou's house, if it wasn't for the scorching sun, there would be some artistic conception.

"The stacked pavilions and buildings lean against the space, and the painted pillars and carved beams are like princes." King Qian walked all the way to watch, and it was the first time for him to visit the ancestral house of Lou's family.

But the boldness of the Lou family still shocked him, "The houses of the aristocratic families in the world are all the rage. For such an arrogance, the Lou family only ransacked the house and sent them to jail. It is considered an extrajudicial favor. If it is really dealt with according to the law, I am afraid that they will be the ones who ransacked the family and exterminated the family." Ultimately belong."

His seemingly justifiable words made Xia Jing look sideways, "I won't interfere with your official affairs, it's understandable for someone in power to behave perversely."

Besides, the Lou family is not wronged.

King Qian's expression was much more relaxed, and he thanked politely: "Thank you, Princess Xie, for your explanation."

Xia Jing smiled and shook her head. She was in the Lou family's ancestral house at this time, which reminded her of another thing, so she asked: "Nowadays, seven or eight of the common people in the world are sheltered by aristocratic families and become hermits. , have you never thought of using this as an opportunity to investigate hidden households in the whole of Lingnan?"

"Check out the hidden households?"

King Qian has always known that there are hidden households, and he has sheltered many hidden households under his wing in Gyeonggi before, but when this matter is actually implemented, it will affect the interests of many people. He doubts whether the surrounding areas of Fucheng can be cleaned up is a problem.

Xia Jing nodded: "The implementation of the government order needs a process. You can't just stop doing it just because of difficulties. Because of the difficulties, we can work together to advance slowly."

"Lingnan already belongs to your fiefdom, and it can be regarded as your vassal state. In this three-acre land of mine, there is no place that you can't control.

On the decree of checking out hidden households, you can deploy soldiers to cooperate with local government servants, and both sides will implement this decree together.Before the summer harvest, we began to check every household and re-register.If there is no one in the roster of the government office, it is a hidden household. "

King Qian knew that the world was difficult, and the people at the bottom would join the local powerful families. If they were allowed to live in the sun again, they might still be resistant and unwilling to cooperate with the government servants.

"This is your unilateral thought that it is for their own good. In fact, whether they accept it or not is still open to question."

Xia Jing glanced at him helplessly. The reason she worried so much today is that the two share a common interest, otherwise she wouldn't have said so much with all her heart.

"A decree cannot not be implemented because some people do not cooperate. If they really do not cooperate in the end, anyone who has not registered will be treated as a suspected rogue. I don't believe that it is related to their vital interests. Cooperate?"

As soon as these words came out, even Anu, who was following behind, glanced at her back unexpectedly.

King Qian looked up at the blue sky, and rarely joked: "If the rich and powerful families don't cooperate, can this king make money again?"

Xia Jing looked at him in surprise, and frowned slightly, "You can't be addicted to copying your home, are you?"

Home raiding is the quickest way to get money, but it is okay to use this policy once in a while. If you take home copying for fun, then all the aristocratic families in south of the Five Ridges will rise up to resist.

At that time, it will not be a family raid and annihilation of the clan, but all forces in the south of the Five Ridges will unite to rebel against the Qian Palace.

"Haha. How is that possible!" King Qian laughed at Xia Jing's serious look.

Xia Jing seemed to be a little skeptical, and warned: "If you are not afraid of various forces in Lingnan instigating civil uprisings, you can try."

King Qian looked at the natural beauty beside him, but unfortunately he has now turned into a cold beauty who doesn't understand her style.

pity!

Seeing him shaking his head, Xia Jing asked suspiciously, "You think I'm wrong?"

King Qian slapped his fan a few times, felt his face cool down, and then smiled: "There is nothing wrong with what this king's concubine said. If it is wrong, it is also the fault of all parties in Lingnan. The reason why this king shook his head is because I want to clear out the hidden households of various forces in Lingnan, they don't know how painful it is."

Xia Jing sneered: "In the face of absolute force, all forces are paper tigers. The more than 1 soldiers recruited earlier are almost ready to be trained, plus Xiaowu's personal soldiers, plus your guard battalion, forgive me. They don't dare to move around, even a local snake has to be coiled by me."

This was Xia Jing crawling out of the coffin, the first time the couple talked so much, King Qian looked at everything in front of him, feeling a little unreal.

But looking at the serious look of the person in front of him, he felt that he might be thinking too much.
