Chapter 327 Account Book 1
Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo talked in the study for a while, but somehow Xiao Mo led the topic off track, and they gradually shifted from business to things in the backyard.
"We have been in Ningchuan City for a few days. Can we consider consummating our marriage?"
With an expectant look on his face, Xiao Mo held Ye Jintang's hand and looked at her seriously.
His eyes were so burning that Ye Jintang's heart was pounding. She had thought about this question before.
Now the two of them have done everything except sleeping in the same bed until the last step.
She was not a pretentious person. Since Xiao Mo brought up the matter again, she simply nodded.
"Jintang, do you agree?"
When Xiao Mo saw Ye Jintang nod, he was overjoyed.
"You said you would give me an extra wedding night. Does that still count?"
"Of course it counts. I'll have someone check the dates and see which day is the best. I'll have someone redecorate the house."
"it is good."
At this moment, no matter how thick-skinned Ye Jintang was, he couldn't help blushing.
She quickly found an excuse to leave.
As she walked to the backyard, she felt her cheeks burning hot.
Is this what it feels like to be in love?
She always had various concerns in the past, but now that Xiao Mo mentioned this, she was even a little excited and looking forward to it.
After passing through the moon gate in the backyard, Ye Jintang did not return to his own room but went to Master Mu's yard.
"Master, please check my pulse to see if my body is growing well."
Ye Jintang only said half of her words and was too embarrassed to say the rest, but seeing her shy look, Master Mu roughly guessed that she was determined to consummate her marriage with Xiao Mo.
"Well, the New Year is coming soon, and you'll be another year older."
Master Mu smiled as she checked Ye Jintang's pulse. She thought that the huge backyard of the palace was a bit deserted. It would be great if there were a few more children to make it more lively.
In fact, because he often drinks spring water and eats crops in the space, Ye Jintang is much stronger than his peers.
"You are in good health, so it's okay for you to get pregnant right now."
Upon hearing the word "pregnant", Ye Jintang quickly shook his head.
"I'm still young, I'll play for two years before I decide."
Whenever Ye Jintang thought of a baby following him and constantly calling for his mother, his scalp went numb.
She still remembers the scene of her best friend's room being messed up by naughty kids, with a table full of expensive cosmetics turned into mud and beautiful lipsticks being used as crayons.
The necklace worth millions was torn apart and thrown on the ground. The high-end custom-made dress was scribbled with lipstick by the naughty child. She still remembers the look of despair on her best friend's face when she saw this scene.
She also heard from her best friend that when babies are just born, they like to cry all day and at night, and their mothers can't get a good rest at all, and this situation will continue for many years.
Whenever Ye Jintang thought about how she couldn't wake up every day and had to comfort a crying baby, her scalp would tingle. She was determined not to have a child too early and would wait a few years before considering this issue.
"Jintang, have you taken care of Sheyaxiang? Ningchuan City is much colder than we thought, and Sheyaxiang is very demanding on the environment. You must be careful when taking care of it, and don't let it get cold."
"Master, don't worry. Everything has been arranged. Maybe next year we can plant large quantities of Snake Cliff Incense."
In fact, the snake cliff fragrance has already flooded Ye Jintang's space. She has collected more than a dozen sacks of snake fruits alone. After a few days, when other medicinal materials have grown up, she will prepare to make elixir pills to see the effect.
"The vast forests outside Ningchuan City are sparsely populated, so there must be places suitable for the growth of Snake Cliff Incense."
When the master and disciple met, they talked about all kinds of medicinal materials and prescriptions. They forgot about time. Ye Jintang stayed in Master Mu's room for the whole afternoon. Xiao Mo sent people to check on her several times, but seeing that she was talking to Master Mu enthusiastically, he did not disturb her much.
It was not until dinner time that Xiao Mo finally saw Ye Jintang.
"I asked someone to check and found out that the day after three days was not bad."
As soon as they met, he couldn't wait to tell her the good news. If time wasn't too tight, he actually wanted to consummate their marriage today.
"Then it will be set in three days."
Ye Jintang's eyes fell on the dining table. She didn't dare to look up at Xiao Mo. At this moment, she didn't need to look to guess that his eyes were frighteningly bright.
The hungry wolf was finally able to eat the lamb, it would be strange if he was not excited.
"Okay, okay, I'll have someone prepare something right away."
Xiao Mo, who was in a good mood, kept asking Ye Jintang questions, except for asking her which position she liked.
"Your Majesty, didn't you ask someone to check the tax and silver issue? It's been several days since the investigation. How is the progress?"
Ye Jintang, with red cheeks, quickly changed the subject. If she continued with this topic, she would most likely be taken advantage of by Xiao Mo today.
"The progress is not smooth. The various taxes in Ningchuan City are too complicated. I have discussed with my advisers this afternoon. Tomorrow morning, I will ask Hua Cailiang to take out all the account books of Ningchuan City for the past three years. We will first check the tax silver that has been checked to see how big the discrepancy is."
"Then check the tax items in the city based on the account books."
Since he couldn't find out directly, he would try the opposite. He didn't believe that Hua Cailiang could settle the accounts with hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver in extra taxes.
"That's fine. We have been in Ningchuan City for several days and have been acting in secret. The palace has not done anything on the surface these days. We should also let those who have been waiting and watching see the prince's determination. Sooner or later, the power to manage Ningchuan City must be concentrated in the hands of the prince."
"Yes, I also want to tell everyone that it won't be long before Ningchuan City will no longer have the position of City Lord. In the future, there will only be a government office here."
"Well, there are some things that the prince must express his attitude on, but before that, the prince should strengthen the military power in his hands, so as not to provoke the jackal Hua Cailiang and make him turn around and bite the prince, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss."
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, with a smug look on his face.
"Don't worry. I didn't do anything when I first came to Ningchuan City. I asked Shi Bin to place 2000 city guards in the city. The palace originally only needed 100 guards, but I stuffed more than 500 people in the palace."
"If Hua Cailiang dares to have any evil intentions, I will blow him into pieces immediately."
Even though Xiao Mo doesn't have many people, his equipment is absolutely excellent and he can easily beat ten people alone.
"It seems that I was worrying too much. The prince has already figured out everything clearly."
Ye Jintang admired Xiao Mo very much, he could always give people surprises.
When others see one step, he has already seen ten steps ahead.
He had been wary of Hua Cailiang from the very beginning. Perhaps he even hoped that Hua Cailiang would rebel, so that he wouldn't even have to find a reason to deal with him.
