After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

There are some famous families in Yongcheng. There are several families like the Zhang family who have people serving as officials in the court. These families rarely interact with the Zhang family and other gentry on weekdays. How can aristocratic families who cultivate and study family heirlooms like these people? A gentleman who smells like copper?
Therefore, when all the gentry families in the city were fawning over the prince's various gifts, some of the noble families were watching with cold eyes. They felt that they were superior to others and were still waiting for the prince to give them a message.

"Last time, after the princess's banquet, two families made up for the gift, and a few families have been silent. Today, they sent the post."

Caihe was unconvinced, "Our palace has nothing, how can we really care about that gift?"

"The princess has come to Yongcheng. She is the most noble woman in Yongcheng. Those people will naturally come to pay their respects. She usually puts on a high airs. Do you know she is here at this time?"

"late."

Yan Mu'an smiled slightly, "You are the only one with a good mouth. If anyone is not proud, let them go."

She just wants to concentrate on what she needs to do, and doesn't want to worry about other things. As for the ladies and girls outside, she can just say a few words if she can, and if she can't, she won't meet. She doesn't need to win over anyone, nor does she need to look at anyone. face.

I have to say that this identity still provides her with great benefits, at least it allows her to say whatever she wants.

"Princess, Governor Yang is here."

This was what he wanted to see. Soon Magistrate Yang appeared in front of Yan Muan. He was mainly here to give gifts today. He respectfully presented the booklet and said: "The Xie family, Li family and other gentry were originally supposed to be with the Zhang family this time." One of the culprits is that the Zhang family is usually the main one and they are considered accomplices. Secondly, these families have given half of their wealth to ensure safety. These are the things each family has given, including cash, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, The precious medicinal materials, various types of food, etc., add up to a huge amount, and I dare not make the decision privately, so I ask the princess to decide how to deal with it."

When the book arrived in Yan Mu'an's hands, he saw that the silver in it exceeded 800,000 taels. Yan Mu'an chuckled, "This money came at the right time."

She briefly talked about the academy, "A place like the academy shoulders the important responsibility of cultivating talents for courtiers. It cannot be controlled by the gentry. It is the responsibility of the Yamen."

"Let's put it in two words. We cannot let scholars have to have a clean life. They should solve their worries for others. Not only should they be rich, but they should also have enough food and clothing. Only in this way can more energy be devoted to educating students."

"Students already have a hard time studying. If we can provide better meals, it can slightly alleviate their difficulties."

Magistrate Yang understood, and bowed his hands, "The princess is a great talent, and the lower officials admire her greatly."

Yan Mu'an smiled lightly and talked about other arrangements, "The Zhang family's grain palace has its own arrangements. You will sort out what the Xie family, Li family and others have sent to you, and then send it to the capital together with the grain tax."

"The medicinal materials have been put into the palace's treasury. As for these antiques and jades?"

It’s troublesome to have too much stuff, “find a way to exchange it for money.”

Magistrate Yang hesitated and wanted to ask how he would spend the money in exchange for money. Yan Mu'an knew what he was thinking just by looking at his forehead, "After you change the money into money, leave it in the government account of the Yamen. Take a look at where the roads need to be built." , wherever there is a need to build bridges, use them for the people."

"How many granaries does the Yamen have? How about storing grain?"

Magistrate Yang was ashamed, "There are seven or eight large granaries in Yongcheng, but currently only one has food in stock. In recent years, the court has left very little food for various places. If there is a disaster, the Yamen can only borrow food from the gentry. In fact, most of the time it is borrowed. If you don't pay back the amount, you don't have food to pay back." Yan Mu'an frowned slightly, knowing that the treasury was empty, but he didn't expect that it was still empty everywhere, and he had already squeezed it dry.

"In this case, the food from these families does not need to be sent to the capital. It goes into Yongcheng's own granary and is guarded in case of emergency."

Magistrate Yang was worried that the emperor would blame him if he knew about this, so Yan Muan reassured him. The emperor did not give food to the emperor when he brought his troops to Yongcheng. He had agreed to let them find their own solution when they arrived in Yongcheng. The main reason was that the emperor could not help even if he wanted to. , he is poor.

"I will write to the emperor to know about this."

Magistrate Yang did not say a word, but he was thinking in his heart that it felt like the princess was sending one letter after another to the emperor. Would the emperor really not be angry?

In fact, his worries were not unnecessary at all. One month later, he took a deep breath after receiving Yan Mu'an's letter again, "Can't you finish it all at once?"

She really underestimated the Yan family. When she arrived in Yongcheng, she was completely blown away. She even dared to promise a title to the Yong family in Yongcheng. She expelled more than 20 people from their academic titles and made more than 50 students unable to take the exam within ten years. , does she want to establish herself as king in Yongcheng?
What was delivered this time was a big box, and there was another box inside. There was a letter lying on the box inside. He unfolded the letter and scanned it. The emperor almost vomited blood. By chance, the queen came, and the emperor immediately said, "Ms. Yan is here." Yongcheng obtained more than 300,000 kilograms of grain, but they didn’t give me even a single grain and put it directly into the Yongcheng Yamen’s granary.”

"With so much food being held back, what is she going to do?"

The emperor slapped his hand on the desk. It was more than 300,000 jins. Even if it was sent back to him, it would be 100,000 jins.

Don’t you know how poor he is? Even before the autumn taxes have been delivered, generals from all over the country who come to ask for food have piled up their papers in his imperial case. In some places, he is embarrassed to say that he has been in arrears with military pay for several years and will delay it again. People are about to rebel.

God knows how much he wants a windfall from heaven.

The queen stepped forward and took Yan Mu'an's letter over to read it, and then there was a smile on her face, "Didn't I say that there will be a lot of losses on the way to deliver the food, and the journey is difficult, so I specially sent five hundred thousand taels of silver. When you get the tickets back, you can exchange them for cash at the Hengtong bank. Please take this silver and make sure the emperor widens the river this winter so that big ships can come in. He also said that there is a lot of food outside."

"Really?"

The emperor became anxious as soon as he saw that no food was sent to him. He didn't read the rest of the letter. After taking it, he laughed again after reading it, "That's right, that's right. This Yan family is very considerate in handling things."

Five hundred thousand taels can solve his urgent need.

The queen was helpless, "It can be seen that the emperor misunderstood the younger brother and sister. If the younger brother and sister are indeed capable, it has only been a short time since they went to Yongcheng, and this situation has opened up."

The emperor smiled cheerfully and thought shamelessly that he was wiser. If he hadn't asked Yan to follow him to Yongcheng, would he have been able to get so much money?

The queen then suggested, "Reply a letter to my sister-in-law, and she will get what she asked for, and then give a decree to the magistrate of Yongcheng, asking him to listen to my sister-in-law. As for the title of title, I am not busy for the time being. Didn't my brother-in-law and sister-in-law say that I have to ask for it?" Hanging.”

The emperor nodded in agreement and sent people to summon Prince Fu to the palace, and then summoned the courtiers separately. There was no way, his brother was not here, and many things fell on him, so he was very busy.
