Ye Feng frowned when he heard this. There was indeed a difference in the information.
Lord Tai's divination skills cannot be wrong.
But he trusted his sense of smell more.
"When the little girl comes out, confirm her scent and be mindful of your accent."
The two men responded, "Yes."
Xingying glanced around the yamen and said, "Brother, I need to go take care of the urgency."
Xingyun showed disdain on his face, "Go quickly and come back soon."
Yunying pursed her lips and slipped into the alley. After a moment, the alley was empty.
The front hall of the yamen.
Before Miao Xiantong arrived, plates of fresh fruits were brought into the front hall and placed in front of the Su family in an orderly manner.
Especially the bright red iced watermelon, which aroused the appetite of the three children.
Since their master had not arrived yet, the three little ones could only stare blankly.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyu picked up a piece of watermelon and fed it to Xiao Xier, "Big brother, third brother, stop staring and eat quickly. Master Miao prepared this for you."
"Mom, it's so sweet and icy and cool."
Seeing that Xiao Xier's mouth turned red from eating, the two brothers no longer remained reserved and picked up the watermelon to eat it in big mouthfuls.
Suddenly realizing that this was the government office, he changed from big mouthfuls to small bites and started eating in a very polite manner.
Su Xingyi was waiting in the front hall of the yamen, looking a little unnatural and reserved.
If it weren't for Xiao Lingyu, he wouldn't have come to the yamen to chat with the county magistrate for no reason.
"Madam Su, why did you decide to come to the government office today?"
Miao Xiantong came in from the backyard and his eyes fell directly on Su Xingyi, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
Su Xingyi quickly stood up and said, "I, Su Xingyi, have submitted my opinion to the County Magistrate."
"Stop being so polite." Miao Xiantong quickly helped the man up.
This man is the princess' husband, he dare not accept this gift.
"Lord Xie Miao."
Miao Xiantong pursed his lips and said, "Sit down."
After Su Xingyi took his seat, Miao Xiantong took his seat in the main seat.
"Madam Su, I didn't expect your medical skills to be so amazing. You cured your husband's leg and eye diseases."
Miao Xiantong saw that the two of them sitting together looked quite a match.
"Master Miao, it's mainly because he has a good foundation and is a strong person that he recovered so quickly. Today I have two good things to tell you."
Miao Xiantong's eyes lit up slightly, "Oh? What's the good news?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "Of course I'm here to present my achievements to Lord Miao."
"But we don't have to wait until next spring to get rare ingredients?"
Xiao Lingyu nodded. "That's right. We've already purchased five acres of land in Guihua Village and planted tomatoes and peppers. We're also planting fruit peppers. If we can harvest in the fall, I'll ask you to encourage the villagers in all the villages in Xishui County to plant them next spring."
Miao Xiantong said: "Rare ingredients are indeed good, and they make delicious dishes. The common people want to grow them. In addition to handing over part to the court, part for their own use, and part for exchange. Where can the common people go to exchange rare ingredients for money?"
Xiao Lingyu said, "This is why I came here today. I want the right to purchase, distribute, and set prices for rare ingredients..."
Xiao Lingyu wants to be a commodity trader, obtain this qualification and then distribute it.
Tomatoes and peppers are the fastest-consuming ingredients, so it's hard not to make money.
Miao Xiantong could never have imagined that the Princess Protector of the Country was so knowledgeable about business.
"Madam Su, I will report this to the court for approval. Then the Su family will be an imperial merchant. However, if you want to use the name Su Xingyi, you cannot openly engage in business with your current status."
It seems that the princess's identity cannot be revoked in the short term.
Xiao Lingyu glanced at Su Xingyi and decided that the financial power must be in his own hands.
Just go back and draft a separate agreement with him and become his boss behind the scenes.
"That's no problem. Just report it under Su Xingyi's name."
Xiao Lingyu handed the firewall design drawings to Miao Xiantong.
"This is the second thing. We need to rebuild fire walls and kangs for the people to use during the winter..."
Xiao Lingyu talked in detail about the benefits of fire walls and kangs.
Miao Xiantong was shocked when he heard this. This fire wall and kang is a practical measure for people's livelihood, more practical than rare ingredients, and the effect can be seen this winter.
"Master Miao, my new house will be completed in two days. You can come and see it then and experience the effect of the fire wall firsthand."
"Mrs. Su, did you find these in your collection of books?"
“…”
Xiao Lingyu said, "I guess so. The main reason I can tell you this is that the fire wall in the new house has shown its effectiveness. It can help us survive the winter. The north is quite cold, so the fire wall and the kang are renovated together. In winter, people can lean against the fire wall and lie on the kang, keeping them warm. There will be no frostbite or death in winter."
Miao Xiantong said: "When the houses are warm in winter, the number of people catching colds and dying from them will also decrease." Miao Xiantong said this with a slightly excited tone.
If he reports this to the court, he will not only be rewarded with merit, but also receive many rewards.
"Madam Su, this requires a professional master to do it."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I have already arranged a master, and that master is Master He Jianzhang, who will build a new house for me."
It turned out to be him.
"Madam Su, he is very expensive. I'm afraid the government office can't afford him."
Xiao Lingyu said, "Master He is concerned about the people's livelihood and has taken it upon himself to rebuild the firewall for the poor people. The government just needs to make sure he doesn't work for nothing."
Some things should be mentioned briefly and there is no need to explain them too clearly. Xiao Lingyu felt that Miao Xiantong could understand.
"Madam Su, I understand. I will come to Osmanthus Village in two days to experience the wonders of the fire wall and implement this matter before winter."
Seeing that the children had almost finished eating, Xiao Lingyu stood up and said goodbye.
Miao Xiantong escorted the person to the yamen gate and said, "Madam Su, if you encounter any difficult problems, please inform me in time. I will definitely help you handle it."
Xiao Lingyu's eyebrows moved slightly when he heard this. There was indeed a tricky matter.
Nan Kun has sent people to look for Xiao Xier's whereabouts. If the method she thought of cannot make the other party evacuate, Xiao Xier will still be in danger.
It is not easy to tell Miao Xiantong about this, as he will report it to the court if he finds out.
The Xiao family is still guilty now. Nankun sent spies to enter the country secretly. No matter whether it is a small matter or a big matter, it is a national affair.
Those in the court who oppose the Xiao family might distort the facts again.
"Thank you, Master Miao. If I have any difficult matters, I will definitely bother you. I will need your help then."
Miao Xiantong smiled and said, "Okay, okay."
Miao Xiantong watched the Su family walk away, then quickly returned to his study, wrote a letter to Qi Lianli, and sent someone to secretly deliver the letter to Huayang County.
When the carriage arrived at Li's grocery store, Xiao Lingyu and Su Xingyi carefully protected Xiao Xier as she got off the carriage.
After staying in the grocery store for a quarter of an hour, he rushed to the No. 1 Incense Shop in Xishui County with the purchased fruit seeds.
When the carriage arrived near the incense shop, the air was filled with a faint fragrance, and the people coming and going nearby were all women.
After getting off the carriage and taking a look at the figures around him, Xiao Lingyu took his family into the incense shop.
