Chapter 160 Ask the people, where is this river and mountain
"You can make a few more pairs of shoes. The little princess' feet grow fast. When she can walk, she will love to run. You have to prepare enough shoes."
"Hey, I don't know how long the little princess has stayed in Haiyue City. If she stays for a shorter time, I really can't bear to let her go."
The women talked, and Lin Buhuai listened. He just stayed for a while and turned around to go somewhere else.
"Why are there so few men in the city? Where did they go?" Lin Buhuai asked.
"The men went to the mountains to cut trees. There are many trees on the mountains. They have to clean them up and go back to plant herbs and food on the mountains. The people are happy." Xiao Wu said.
"Planting food on the mountain?" Lin Buhuai was a little shocked by this move.
"Yes, you don't know, Prime Minister, our Great Wei's eldest princess is very capable. She is the favorite student of Dean Bai Cangming of Cangming Mountain. She instructed the people to turn over the soil and let the snow freeze. She said that when the weather warms up, the people can plant food. There is absolutely no problem." Xiao Wu said.
"Xiao Yue, the Great Wei's eldest princess, I have heard that she is a very smart woman, but I don't know why she married Shangguan Jinghong a few years ago. That man..." The Prime Minister thought about it and shook his head.
Lin Buhuai had seen Shangguan Jinghong.
He was just a man with a slightly better appearance, ordinary ability and talent. He didn't think that Shangguan Jinghong could match the Great Wei's eldest princess.
Until a few days ago, I heard that Shangguan Jinghong died in Su County of Dawei.
Lin Buhuai felt that Shangguan Jinghong deserved to die.
"Prime Minister, why don't we go to the mountains for a walk?" Xiao Wu said.
"Okay, let's go and take a look!" The prime minister walked towards the north of the city.
There are mountains in the north of the city, and the people are busy.
"The princess said that there are too many trees on the mountain, so we can cut down some of them. You see, every household cuts them down to renovate their houses and yards, and some cut them down to make firewood. They are really very practical!"
"I am going to build another chicken coop. I want to raise a few chickens and make soup for my mother."
"I still want to raise a sheep, a ewe, and let her give birth to lambs. In this way, we can have goat milk for our big head to drink, and we can sell the lambs when they grow up."
The people who walked past the prime minister were very happy. They talked about their future lives while walking, and their faces were all filled with smiles.
The prime minister stood there and was silent for a long time.
"Little princess!" Xiao Wu saw the little princess being held by Dong Ju in the distance, and he thought about it.
Xiao Wu is just a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a lively personality. He has played with the little princess these days, and he likes the little princess very much.
"You are talking about the little princess of Dawei, that amazing child?" the prime minister asked.
"Yes, yes, that is our little princess, amazing." If Xiao Wu had not been assigned the task of protecting the prime minister, he would have rushed over long ago.
"Let's go and take a look." Seeing him like this, the prime minister also went to Dongju and the others.
When the people saw an old man coming over, with a good temperament and the appearance of an official, they tilted their heads to look at him.
"This old man, are you here to inspect?" Dongju smiled and said.
The prime minister's eyes flashed, and he felt that Dawei was really good, even a maid was so smart.
"Well, come and have a look. If possible, I would also like to contract a piece of forest to plant something." Lin Buhuai said.
The court of Beiling has long been corrupt. The Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue have been enriching themselves by doing private accounts. The national teacher has encouraged His Majesty the Emperor to make elixirs and ignored state affairs all day long.
Taxes are increasing year by year, and the people are suffering.
Lin Buhuai has long wanted to retire and return to the fields with his family to live a pastoral life.
If it weren't for Lin Ruyue's daughter who had something to do with the royal family and kept persuading him not to leave the court, he would have really left long ago.
Now, Lin Ruyue really killed herself, and Lin Buhuai felt that he had nothing to worry about now.
He sent both of his sons to other cities to do business.
It is said that officials and businessmen do not communicate with each other, but Lin Buhuai does not think so. He let his eldest son be a salt merchant near Mobei, and his second son opened a martial arts school.
The fact that his two sons did not enter the court was a sense of crisis for Lin Buhuai, and it was also the biggest resistance to the Beiling royal family.
"Prime Minister Lin." Ci Xin and Jun Qingcang just happened to come over, and when they saw Lin Buhuai, they greeted him.
Lin Buhuai had a faint expression, and he kept looking at the little Ruoxi baby.
This little girl is pretty.
She is the most beautiful child Lin Buhuai has ever seen.
In particular, the child's eyes are like glass, shining brightly.
These big eyes were looking at him, and Lin Buhuai suddenly felt that his thoughts seemed to be seen through by this child at a glance.
"This old man still has some anger. It seems that he is really stubborn. Uncle has to work harder to completely impress him."
Xiao Yin looked at Xiao Yue. What he wanted to say was: Our little treasure is really a life of worry!
"It just so happens that Master Ci Xin is picking mushrooms in the mountains. I will stew a pot of chicken soup in the evening to supplement Lin Xiang." Xiao Yue said.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Wei, Princess, have you ever thought about it? After all, this is the mountains and rivers of Beiling." Lin Buhuai said.
"Ask the people, where are these mountains and rivers!" Xiao Yin said, and looked at Dongju.
Dongju stuffed the child into the arms of His Majesty the Emperor, turned around and dragged a few people over from the mountain road.
"Come, tell this old man, is this mountain Beiling's mountain? Do we have to listen to the Beiling royal family?" Dong Ju said.
"Old man, of course you don't know the suffering of us people. This mountain is our people's mountain. This is originally the place of our Haiyue City people. We grow food and herbs to sell and make money. How great!"
"Although this land used to belong to the Beiling royal family, if the royal family is not in harmony with the people, what kind of royal family can it be? I like Dawei, so I want to become a citizen of Dawei."
"That's right, it doesn't matter which country you are from. All we want is a good life, enough food and warm clothes."
Lin Buhuai's expression was full of shock.
"I guess this old man's thinking is still very rigid. Looking at his expression, it's quite interesting." Baby Ruoxi pouted.
During this period, although Xiaoyue and Xiaoyin have made a lot of efforts, their main work is still in Beidi.
When they got to know each other, they realized what a wise man Beidi was.
Under his seemingly weak appearance, he actually has a very wise and strong heart.
Let the people have food to eat, clothes to wear, and houses to live in. These are the ideas that Beidi insists on.
"The Emperor of Wei is really different." Lin Buhuai said.
"No, these are all arranged by the second prince, the second prince's thoughts." Xiaoyinsi did not take any credit.
