    Song Chengxuan was slightly taken aback.

    Feeling her arm tighten around her waist, the blood in his whole body seemed to boil all of a sudden,

    Xu Qinghuan closed his eyes, and a faint fragrance came from his nose. He smoked the brocade robe he brought back from the palace. He used spices such as Gansong and Yuelinxiang. She didn't like it very much. Fortunately, after getting used to it  , the incense seems to have faded away, leaving only his breath.

    The precious brocade robe, full of dark embroidered patterns, stuck to her face, as if to imprint the texture into her heart and dispel the haze hidden in the deepest part.

    As time passed, Xu Qinghuan began to feel embarrassed. The most important thing was that she felt something was wrong. His hand stretched out at some point, and his fingertips began to rub against her cheek. She raised her head to look at him, his gaze  Very fiery, deep eyes, contrary to the clearness of the past, as if there is an undercurrent surging in them.

    Xu Qinghuan immediately felt a rush of heat rushing to her cheeks, and the breath on his body also became thicker, making her dizzy.

    "Cough."

    There was a cough from outside.

    Xu Qinghuan immediately woke up a little bit, the mother in charge was still waiting outside, how would she go to see her mother in a while.

    She gently pushed Song Chengxuan. Just thinking about those things, she seemed to be hit in the heart, so she hugged him, and she must not continue.

    "Let go," Xu Qinghuan lowered his voice, as if whispering, "It's not good to be seen by others, I told my mother that I only came to have a few words with you."

    He hesitated and did not let go of his hand immediately. It is rare that there will be such a time when his chest is full of softness, and he is no longer so stiff and polite. Although it is only for a moment, the soft sideburns, stretched eyebrows, and rosy cheeks  , made him nostalgic, and even a little distracted.

    He didn't want to do anything presumptuous in the Xu family, but after Changzhou left, he often felt that something was missing in his heart, and he followed the path she had walked, and finally entered Beijing and came to Anyihou's mansion  , the distance between him and her is either far or close, which is really tormenting.

    I don't know when it started, his concentration was not as good as before, and he was too indulgent, Song Chengxuan tried to calm down his heart.

    "Is Mrs. Xu disapproving of our marriage?" Song Chengxuan asked.

    Just now when he entered the door with Marquis Anyi, he already felt that the whole Xu family somewhat disliked and guarded against him, which was completely different from when he entertained the savior before leaving Beijing.

    There are many people who don't like him, Mrs. Xu and Xu Qing'an, but Mrs. Tai should have the most say.

    Xu Qinghuan nodded.

    Song Chengxuan has also thought about it along the way, and he will inevitably encounter various problems. If he wants to marry her in quickly, he will inevitably encounter resistance from the Xu family.

    He is not good at pleasing the elders. When he was a child in the Wei Palace, he learned etiquette from his husband early on. Whether it was memorizing, writing or talking with others, he could deal with it calmly, so most of the elders around him liked him. After the accident in the Wei Palace,  He survived as Song Chengxuan, and he was cautious in the first few years, for fear of being recognized by others, so he could only float on the sea, living in no fixed place, facing merchants and pirates, and had no chance to get along with his elders again.  Compared with Prince Wei's son, he has a blunt temper and is indifferent to others, and he is no longer the type of elders who are happy.

    But these are not important, Mrs. Xu is thinking of Qing Huan, he will explain the reason to Mrs. Xu, and ask Mrs. Xu to agree.

    Song Chengxuan said: "I will go to see Mrs. Tai in a while."

    Song Chengxuan finally let go of his hand, and Xu Qinghuan pursed his lips: "Then I'll go out first."

    Song Chengxuan's eyes fell on the bookshelf again: "There are all books about farming, what do you want to do?"

    "It's nothing," Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly, "I think the land in Changzhou is good, but because of the flood of smuggling in recent years, a lot of land has been abandoned, and some people even privately used military households, so that the land in military settlements was abandoned."

    Xu Qinghuan said and went to get the map on the bookshelf: "Here, here, are all lands that have been reported to the imperial court for reclamation in recent years, but in fact they are still barren.

    ? When the Zhang family was in charge of the Changzhou government, they used the money earned from business to fill the tax bank, because the private use of military households to grow sugar cane, lychees, cotton, mulberry trees, and smuggling earned far more money than rice.

    ?In addition, Changzhou¡¯s general soldiers have joined forces to embezzle military funds and help the Zhang family maintain the superficial peace. Now that all these officials have been dismissed, the superficial peace cannot be sustained. What should we do?  When the imperial court transfers officials to Changzhou, they will soon find out that it is a mess, and it is everywhere, unless the new prefect of Changzhou follows the Zhang family's previous methods.This matter, but the people and the court will definitely not agree.

    Now it¡¯s too late to farm the land. Not being able to pay taxes in Changzhou is a trivial matter. Not being able to feed the guards and the people is a major issue. The navy seems to have won the battle, but the wear and tear is very serious. The ships borrowed from the merchants have to be repaired and returned to others.  , The big ships of the imperial court are unusable, and if they want to quickly restore the military defense, I don't know how much money will be needed to make up for it.

    The Changzhou General Soldier embezzled the imperial court's compensation money privately. An incompetent person like the Changzhou General Soldier has been in office for so many years.

    If these pensions are not reissued, it will be difficult to appease the morale of the army. Who will get the money?

    The emperor wants his cronies to go to Changzhou, no matter who they send out, I am afraid that they will soon become the emperor's accountant, and they will be unable to do anything except reach out to the court.

    Taking over the guards and yamen to appease the people is not a one-day effort. Changzhou is a mess, and if a strange official goes there, can he win the trust of the people?

    After the new year, spring plowing will be required. How to grow crops as quickly as possible must become the top priority. Pity so much land, and if the calculation is not good, it will become a burden. You know, it¡¯s not that the more land the better  , There is a lot of land and heavy taxes. If you fail to hand over the rice in the second year, it will still be a crime of beheading.  "

    Xu Qinghuan's eyes glowed when she looked at the map. This was drawn by her when she was in Changzhou. Although it was not as accurate as the map used for leading troops to fight, the number of lands in it was not bad at all.

    "Don't you think it's too much?"

    Song Chengxuan's voice came.

    "Naturally, the more land the better, the land and food are needed to raise soldiers and horses, and we need to build a few more barns," Xu Qinghuan thought, "However Changzhou alone is a little too little. Before the spring of next year,  The Songjiang Mansion must also be ours, so that we can use our hands and feet."

    After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, she looked at Song Chengxuan.

    Song Chengxuan remained calm.

    Xu Qinghuan went on to say: "Master Song wants to borrow Songjiang Mansion, and he has to start early. After getting Changzhou and Songjiang, look at Fuzhou and Yingtian." (Remember this website website: www.hlnovel.com
