    When the emperor arrived at the Princess's Mansion, he saw Wen Wan humming on the bed, looking like she was breathing in too much and leaving little.  The emperor was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he quickly asked the imperial doctor what was going on.  It was fine yesterday.  So today, today is so serious.

    How dare an imperial physician talk nonsense like Wen Wan? That would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.  He quickly explained that the princess was just tired and just wanted to rest for two days.

    The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. He was really frightened just now.  After the emperor was worried, he was only filled with anger.  This damn girl deliberately wanted to scare him to death.  But when I turned around, I saw Wen Wan looking pitiful, with a few tears (actually water) hanging on her face.  The emperor immediately softened his heart and became angry and then dissipated.  Hey, I know this damn girl is pretending, but I still can't bear to blame her.  At that moment, he said angrily: "I just said it if I didn't want to do it. Why are you pretending to be sick? And you said it was so serious. You have no taboos about anything, and you act like a child. You don't even know how old you are."

    "Uncle Emperor, I want to live a long life, and I don't want to be short-lived. I don't want to be infamous forever." Wen Wan pitifully listed the consequences of many women participating in politics. A certain concubine accidentally said something about government affairs and was immediately thrown into the cold palace. Not long after,  He died; Mrs. So-and-so interfered in government affairs and was divorced in a blink of an eye Wen Wan listed the collected examples to the emperor one by one.

    "You are now the royal princess of Xingguo. Even if you interfere in government affairs, no one will dare to say anything. Why do you think you have been sitting in the imperial study room to observe government affairs, but no censor has ever impeached you? That is because you are the princess of Xingguo.  . If you don¡¯t even understand government affairs, how can you develop the country?¡± The emperor rubbed his head and felt a headache.  After so many years, Wen Wan's fear of death has not changed at all, but has become more and more aggravated.

    "I won't do it. I won't do it." Wen Wan was unwilling to die.  Interfering in government affairs and getting involved in politics is something with a high risk factor.  Moreover, Wen Wan is self-aware, and she is really not the type to be involved in politics.  Even now that she holds such a large amount of property, she has no emperor to look after her.  She didn't even have confidence.  People must be self-aware, do what they can do, and don¡¯t mess around with what they can¡¯t.

    "I'm just asking you to help. Let me see where there are loopholes and what needs improvement. Just give me your opinion. I'm not asking you to work in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Don't worry. I have a death-free medal. No.  Someone wants your little head. Look, the emperor's uncle is so worried about money that his hair turns gray every day." The emperor coaxed Wen Wan for a long time, but in the end he could only play the emotional card.

    Wen Wan still refuses to do it. "Uncle Emperor, politics is too unpredictable and the risk factor is too high. You can lose your head easily. I will not participate. But if you think I can help, I will definitely do what I can."  . However, it must be in private. I will only tell you my advice. You are not allowed to discuss government affairs with the court officials."

    "I've never seen you so afraid of death. Don't worry, as long as uncle is here, no one dares to do anything to you." The emperor said a lot.  It's a pity that Wenwan has to carry it to death this time.  Never let go.

    Wen Wan still shook her head. Principles cannot be compromised.  Don't give in even a step.  Otherwise, she will have to retreat step by step. When there is no way back in the future, it will be the end of her life: "Uncle Emperor, I will help you. I will see more, listen more and ask more questions, and think of what I think is  I will write down the proper regulations one by one for the shortcomings and areas that I think need to be improved, but I can only let you know about it when the time comes. And if you don¡¯t agree, I won¡¯t even do this.  "I just kept falling asleep and couldn't get up." Wen Wan meant that she only acted as an aide, hiding behind the scenes.  Resolutely not in front of the stage.  Not to mention discussing government affairs with courtiers.

    She has been looked down upon by countless people. If she participates in politics again, she will have to cultivate her own power (it is difficult to do things without her own people).  The emperor has great confidence in her, and she also believes that the emperor will always be good to her.  However, keep a thin line in everything you do.  Standing too high, with too much glory and too much power, Wen Wan felt that it was a reminder of death.

    The emperor sighed slightly, this girl has become more and more afraid of death for more than ten years.  He didn't understand what he was afraid of: "Okay, it's up to you. If you need anything then, let Xia Ying help you find it."

    Nodding gently.

    Xia Xian brought the tonic.  The emperor took it and Wen Wan knew it was deer antler, Huaishan, bamboo and shredded chicken soup.  Deer antler is very effective for those who are deficient in essence and blood and are weak.  Wen Wan has been eating so much in the past few years, well, there is nothing we can do about it, but for the sake of your health, just eat it.

    The emperor took it and tested the temperature.  The temperature was moderate, so I took a shiny silver spoon, took a spoonful, and opened my mouth to eat it gently.

    After finishing the drink, Xia Wenjing took the bowl away.

    Seeing Wen Wan still lying in bed, the emperor said funnyly: "Why, you still want to keep pretending. I can't get up. Get up quickly and accompany me for a walk in the yard." After that, the emperor went out.

    Wen Wan got up and dressed honestly, then walked around her garden with the emperor.The Emperor has been to the Mirror Garden several times before.  Not much has changed from now.  It's nothing more than a place that Wen Wan doesn't like, so he wants to fix it.  The overall pattern has not changed.

    Wenwan knows the internal affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs privately.  Of course, just behind the scenes.  The Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food.  Wen Wan focuses on tax sources.  Let Xia Ying get the tax statistics of various provinces from the Ministry of Household Affairs in the past ten years.  Moreover, very detailed information is required for each tax category.  In the past, she only had a general understanding.  Now, it¡¯s time to understand more deeply.

    Wen Wan knows that this is not something that can be solved in a day or two.  So, just let them get the table out province by province.  The Ministry of Hubu, especially the Minister of Hubu, is waiting every day for Wen Wan to give her two ideas, which will make things easier for her.  It's just that they ask for information every once in a while.  But there is no further content.  He didn't have the guts to urge Wen Wan.

    Wen Wan did carefully study the tax system, but she did not directly formulate countermeasures.  She asked Xia Ying to send people to the capital, to the countryside, and even to many places in the south of the Yangtze River to conduct careful inspections of every tax situation.  Analyze the shortcomings (Wenwan only grasps the general direction, and excessive taxation in some places is the emperor's business).

    The past two years have also been smooth sailing.  Several of the promoted crops have been promoted throughout Daqi.  The common people have a surplus of food in their hands and are not afraid of natural disasters that will increase the burden on the court.  Wenwan also filled the emperor's private treasury.  The emperor's money is not as tight as before.  Doing things will naturally become much easier and faster.

    The emperor focuses on three things.  First, try to recover as much land as possible; secondly.  Land was reclaimed, paddy field cultivation was promoted, and gentle opinions were adopted to encourage farmers to improve production techniques in order to increase agricultural output; third, water conservancy projects were built.  This is the top priority.  All three are being fully implemented now and will take less than three years.  The national treasury will no longer be able to make ends meet.  Of course, another important thing is the promulgation of imperial decrees.  Completely lift sea restrictions.

    Wenwan looked at these measures.  I feel like I don¡¯t need to work hard at all.  Because within five years, the current situation of the national treasury will be improved.  Therefore, I am just considering and suggesting some tax issues to the emperor.  Don't let taxes be repeated, the people will be pitiful.

    Wen Wan heard the news that the emperor ordered the cavalry to march to the border.  The cavalry was only nominally under the command of Border Marshal Qi Quan.  In fact, it was under the direct control of the emperor.

    Wen Wan was very surprised by the emperor's behavior: "Don't you want to use the cavalry as a surprise soldier? You are now exposed to the eyes of the Manchus. Are you still a surprise soldier? How will you conduct surprise attacks in the future?"

    The emperor smiled and said: "Wan'er is good at business, but she really doesn't know much about military matters."

    Wen Wan pursed her lips in anger, cursing in her heart.  If I know anything, I am an all-rounder.  But it's true that she doesn't understand the military.  She didn't intend to understand either.

    The commander of the cavalry was the emperor¡¯s confidant.  Before the cavalry arrived.  Qi Quan has set aside a piece of land specifically for the cavalry to camp.

    Cavalry battalion.  There were not many people, five thousand people.  But the cavalry horses and equipment are the best.  The soldiers are all carefully selected.  Once at the border, the generals noticed the difference.

    The senior generals at the border were indignant after hearing the news.  Bao Baogang scolded directly: "Damn it. The cavalry battalion is the son of the aunt, and we are all the sons of the little aunt."

    Bai Shinian hurriedly scolded: "Shut up, these are nonsense words."

    Ye Xun shook his fan leisurely.  Bai Shinian walked up to him and asked, "Commander, what do you think of this matter?"

    Ye Xun said with a smile: "What are you grievances about? It won't be long before you can see the truth. If you have this ability, everyone will be convinced. But if you don't have this ability" After saying that, he chuckled twice.  What follows is naturally self-evident.

    Zhang Yi and Bao Baogang both nodded.  Bai Shinian frowned, thinking deeply.  What is the significance of the emperor's move?  Such an army is not under the command of the marshal.  It is bound to cause dissatisfaction among border generals.  What ifbut it's not good.

    Ye Xun seemed to have seen through Bai Shinian's thoughts and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't have to worry. I heard rumors that the money for establishing the cavalry battalion does not come from the treasury."

    At these words, both Zhang Yi and Bao Baogang opened their eyes wide: "If it doesn't come from the treasury, where will it come from?"

    Ye Xun held the feather fan, fanned it gently, shook his head and said: "I don't know, there are rumors that the money came from the emperor's private treasury. The cavalry battalion did not pay from the national treasury."

    Zhang Yi and Bao Baogang looked contemptuous: "Private treasury, isn't it just taken from the national treasury."

    Ye Xun said with a profound expression: "It might have been the case before. But it's not necessarily true now. I heard that the emperor's private treasury now receives a large amount of money every year. This money is not allocated by the national treasury.  . It¡¯s the emperor¡¯s own money.¡±

    Zhang Yi and Bao Baogang are not the sameMing so.

    Bai Shinian's face darkened.  He knew what Ye Xun meant. Although he was at the border, he basically knew all the news in the capital.  It's just that it was pushed back more than a month than the people in the capital knew.  The emperor's private treasury is full of money, not allocated from the national treasury.  That can only be obtained through other channels.  What channel, naturally it is business.

    Ye Xun said cheerfully: "I heard that Princess Wenwan earns tens of millions every year." Of course, only Princess Wenwan and the emperor know how much she earns.  There may not be tens of millions, but there should be seven or eight million.  Just from the Ocean Trading and Glazed Trade businesses, the interest collected from each item is three to four million a year.

    Zhang Yi¡¯s eyes widened.  The woman who was as bright and fresh as the girl next door appeared in front of her eyes.  This woman makes tens of millions of dollars a year.  There are more than 200,000 soldiers at the border, and a year's worth of military pay, food, and weapons do not need to be spent so much.

    Bao Baogang was just sluggish.

    Bai Shinian is extremely complicated.  Since last year, the military salaries of border officers have been paid on time, and the court has not delayed further.  At that time, he already knew that Wen Wan was behind it.  Little did he know that he would earn so much.

    Ye Xun was full of admiration: "Princess Xingguo, you have rejuvenated the country. Our emperor is really a saint, and the emperor is a rare saint in ten thousand years." Ye Xun really admired the emperor.  You know, an emperor will always be despised when he does business as a merchant.  In the future, historians will also leave a note.  Although it was the distinguished princess who came forward, no discerning person would know that the real boss behind it was the emperor.  Otherwise, why is it that the treasury has no money, but the emperor¡¯s Ministry of Internal Affairs has money to allocate abroad.  Of course, this cannot but be said to be a major spectacle in the current imperial court.

    Everyone was gone, and Bai Shinian was alone in the tent. He picked up a pen and wrote on a white paper: "Princess Wenwan." Unconsciously, the night before his wedding came to mind, when he and Qing'er were chatting about government affairs.  Time goes by, in the past few years.  The more information Bai Shinian gets about Wen Wan, the more he understands Wen Wan.  It can be inferred from various deeds that Wen Wan is an extremely cautious person. It can be said that Wen Wan is very defensive about others.  Those who had a close relationship with her didn't even get a slap in the face.

    The more Bai Shinian thought about it, the things he had missed in the past gradually began to be picked up.  That night, Qing'er told him all the important military and national affairs.  With Princess Wenwan's cautious temperament, she knew how to talk about military and state affairs to a substitute.  Gradually, he finally realized that he had been foolish and had fallen into a misunderstanding.  The substitute is cannon fodder, and it is possible for Princess Wenwan to talk about military and national affairs to a cannon fodder.

    Bai Shinian thought about Princess Wenwan's look towards him, that momentum, that expression, which was completely different from the feeling Qing'er gave him.  That's why he was confused and thought he had made a mistake.  Now think about it, who can stand out in the palace is someone who doesn't have a face in front of others and behind the scenes.  Two faces, superimposed on each other.  Harmony and two become one, exceptionally harmonious.

    Bai Shinian murmured: "Wen Wan, you are indeed Qing'er." After confirming, his face turned pale.  Even if he knew that Qing'er was gentle, there was nothing he could do about it.

    There was strong sadness in Bai Shinian's eyes.  Thinking about the scene when the two met that day, so what if it was confirmed.  Wen Wan refused to admit it, which made him grieve and regret for so many years.  Bai Shinian couldn't bear it any longer and cursed: "Ping Wenwan, you cruel woman."

    Being talked about by Bai Shinian Wenwan sneezed a few times.  Wen Wan rubbed her nose, wondering in her heart, who is this, talking about her for most of the day.

    He sneezed again and murmured gently: "Who is cursing me behind my back (you also know that you are hated by others)?"

    Xia Yao is very worried, afraid that Wen Wan will catch cold.  I hurriedly invited the imperial doctor to come over and diagnose my pulse.  Doctor Ye's diagnosis was that he had a slight typhoid fever.  Knowing that Wen Wan was unwilling to take traditional Chinese medicine, she took specially made pills.  Then, he prescribed another medicinal supplement.

    After Wen Wan waited for Doctor Ye to leave, she said with a smile: "You said that girls from wealthy families are made of gold. Do you think I am made of gold?"

    Xia Yao shook her head and said: "Princess, you are not made of gold, but of gems. However, no matter how many gems you have, they are not as valuable as our princess."

    Wen Wan listened to Zhile: "Then tell me, how much can I sell it for?" Xia Yao shook her head.

    The two of them were hip-hopting.  I heard people coming from outside saying, "Princess, the princess is here. The princess is waiting in the main hall!"

    Wen Wan is a little strange, what are you doing here?  I didn't send an invitation, so I rushed over directly. Something big happened.  Wen Wan went to change clothes.  (To be continued)
