Chapter 173: Enough

Xiao Hanzheng knew many things about the imperial family.

“Therefore, before his death, the current Emperor who is the Empress Dowager’s son was canonized as the crown prince.”

“But he didn’t want his favored son to be harmed by the crown prince after he ascended the throne, so he granted him a title and gave him a fiefdom near the border.”

“Before his death, he sent his favored son to the fief as protection in disguise.”

He paused and said, “That favored prince couldn’t accept this. He always felt that he should be the heir to the throne.”

“He is very ambitious and has been planning to usurp the throne.”

“After the death of the late emperor, he didn’t go to the capital to pay his respects. Instead, he held built his troops in the fiefdom and showed no respect for the current Emperor.”

Shi Qingluo stayed silent for a while before she said: “Then it seems that Daliang is suffering from internal and external troubles now!”

Although the people temporarily settled down, most were still in poverty due to the war.

It was easy to be incited and exploited.

The enemy country next door was watching with eager eyes, but there was still this prince in the country who built troops, ready to rebel at any time.

Xiao Hanzheng nodded: “Yes, there are internal and external troubles.”

“However, the current emperor is an emperor who works hard to govern. He is ambitious, but very capable of forbearance.”

In his previous life, he took the initiative to be the sword of the Emperor, so he still knew a lot of things that most courtiers didn’t know.

At the same time, he studied the Emperor more carefully and had a basic understanding of the Emperor’s temperament and behavior.

Shi Qingluo asked curiously: “Will the Emperor kill that prince and take back the fiefdom in the future?”

Xiao Hanzheng smiled bitterly: “5 years later, that prince will rebel, with the support of his troops, will proclaim himself as the Emperor.”

“The court was fully prepared, but the fight resulted in many casualties. It lasted for several years and caused some turmoil.”

“And allow the enemy to attack.”

“Daliang lost two cities one after another, and the people in the cities were massacred.”

“And it was caused by Tao Liu.”

Xiao Hanzheng knew that his wife had guessed that he was reborn, so he didn’t hide it.

He told her whatever she wanted to know.

Shi Qingluo was surprised: “Ah, what does this have to do with Tao Liu?”

Xiao Hanzheng told the story of how that woman gave Tao Liu to his Scumbag Father’s rival. Tao Liu made that general drunk, causing him to miss the opportunity to fight, which led to that result.

Shi Qingluo frowned and said: “That woman is not a good bird. For her selfish desires, she doesn’t even care about the country.”

Xiao Hanzheng said: “Yes after that general was beheaded, my Scumbag Father worked hard in private. The Emperor then let him go to war.”

Shi Qingluo asked: “Did your Scumbag Father win the battle?” ”

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head: “No, he, that woman, and those troublemakers of the Xiao Family all died before the Emperor issued the decree.”

At that time, his health was already failing, and it was even more impossible for him to travel across mountains and rivers to the border to kill his Scumbag Father.

So just before he died, he killed all his enemies, including his Scumbag Father.

However, he didn’t feel guilty about it. Some of the information he found out at the beginning made him feel that there was something wrong with his Scumbag Father. He was not suitable to lead the army in the war. If he did, it would only cause greater trouble for Daliang.

Moreover, there were leaders in the court who were stronger than his Scumbag Father, so he did it without any scruples.

Hearing this, she found that her husband’s whole body became tense.

Shi Qingluo also roughly guessed that before Scumbag Father went to the battlefield, her young husband must have dragged their whole family to hell.

She hugged Xiao Hanzheng tightly in distress: “Now that we have God-given seeds, if we work harder, we will not end up like that again.”

The people in the two cities were massacred, and it was all the fault of that woman. That Scumbag Father might be the instigator, they deserved to die.

Xiao Hanzheng hugged her tightly and rubbed her head with his chin, “Yeah, I won’t do that again this time.”

From the moment he woke up and had a little wife, the events of his previous life had completely changed.

His relatives were not dead, his body was no longer damaged by poisoning, and his path to the imperial examination had not been blocked by the main Xiao family.

Several times the plots between the scumbag father and that woman were foiled, and the people from the main Xiao family were also sent to harm those two people.

With these changes, it means the future of Daliang can also change.

After a while, Xiao Hanzheng looked for the Old Taoist Priest’s handwriting and studied it.

Then he wrote something like a last message, focusing on the matter of providing good seeds for the present Emperor.

He also specially added a paragraph, which means that before the ascension, the old Taoist Priest told Shi Qingluo that she should plant the golden seeds in July and harvest them in October and offer them to the Emperor.

This can also explain why Shi Qingluo only planted corn after the Old Taoist Priest died for nearly a year.

Shi Qingluo went out to discuss cooperation with Xi Rong.

To make cosmetics, they need a lot of beeswax.

In addition to purchasing them in the entire Daliang area, Shi Qingluo also prepared to teach beekeeping skills to outsiders for free.

She has researched and learned this at the Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

Sugar was expensive now, and honey was naturally not cheap either.

If the common people keep their bees, their honey can be sold, and the beeswax can be purchased by them. At that time, they will also sign a contract for mutual benefit.

After hearing Shi Qingluo’s plan, Xi Rong couldn’t help but admire her: “You are so thoughtful.”

“The Daliang probably doesn’t raise many bees. They collect all wild beeswax, which will not be able to keep up with the lipsticks we make.”

The more she came into contact with Shi Qingluo, the more she felt that she was not an ordinary and simple woman.

Xi Rong looked at Shi Qingluo with twinkling eyes and said: “You are so awesome, you can keep bees.”

Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: “You praise me every day, and I’m almost embarrassed.”

Xi Rui: “……”

The others: “……”

I’m sorry I didn’t see it!

Liang Youxiao touched his nose, leaned over, and asked tentatively: “How about you take me to play, and I will help you two.”

He had thought about the beeswax thing before.

Feeling that the quantity would be sold by their rouge shop would be limited, although he felt pity, he didn’t take it to heart.

But now, according to Shi Qingluo, if many people can raise bees in their homes, there will be no need to worry about beeswax.

He knew that this would be a huge profit. After all, women spend money very easily, and women were particularly willing to spend money on dressing up.

His mother and others were enough examples.

Xi Rong and Shi Qingluo turned their heads at the same time, “No need!”

Liang Youxiao: “……”

Shi Qingluo also learned badly from this tigress.

No, both were tigresses, a little tigress, and a big tigress, hmph!

Xi Rui smiled happily and said, “Haha, you are also defeated today.”

He also leaned over and said: “I don’t want you to play with me, but if you make sets of lipsticks, you have to give me a few sets.”

It is a must to coax his grandmother, mother, and also the other women in the palace.

Shi Qingluo gave Xi Rui a very nice look: “No problem.”

“For the sake of your filial piety, we will give you a few sets for free.”

“We will also help you prepare different gift boxes for different age groups.”

Xi Rui’s mother and others were at the top of the aristocratic circle in the capital. With their publicity, should they still worry about the business of their rouge shop?

It was nothing to give away a few sets for free if they didn’t need to pay advertising fees.

Xi Rui was encouraged by Shi Qingluo and immediately puffed up his chest: “That’s right. I am known as the most filial person in the capital.”

Liang Youxiao: “……”

Fei Yuzhe: “……”

How dare you say such a thing.

And he even felt proud after being used by Shi Qingluo.
