Chapter 1723

In the days that followed, Zhulan seldom went out except when necessary. Day by day, the trial of Mr. Lu's case was still going on, and more and more people were involved.

The emperor has the intention of killing. The aristocratic families in the capital have been very low-key recently, the playboys in the capital are gone, and the business of the horse farms and other places in the suburbs of Beijing is bleak.

In Zhouhou Mansion, Zhulan received Feng Shi, Feng Shi was supposed to be a generation younger than her, whoever made her daughter marry her son became an equal generation.

Mrs. Feng brought a lot of fruits, "My hometown sent them to Beijing, let my wife and Master Hou try something new."

Zhulan especially likes to drink fruit juice when she is old. In ancient times, it was a luxury. In ancient times, honey and fruit were not cheap, and she even got honey as a tribute.

Zhulan said: "Then I won't be polite."

Mrs. Feng was happy when she saw that Madam really liked her. She knew that the Marquis of Zhou Mansion was a good place, and only when she got in touch with her did she realize how good it is. winks and so on.

What she gets from coming to Zhouhou's Mansion is only respect, she doesn't need to please, just have a normal conversation, and feel comfortable!

Zhulan asked, "Why didn't you bring Xinyi?"

Feng Shi replied, "She was caught in the rain the day before yesterday, and she was not brought here because she was eating soup."

"Sick, are you better now?"

"It's much better, she is still young and playful."

Zhulan smiled, "They're not very old, it's good to love to play when you're young, and you won't have the chance to play when you get married."

The creases at the corners of Feng's eyes deepened, "You are right."

It is said that Mrs. Zhou Hou loves her daughter-in-law very much, and daughters are blessed.

Feng said again: "There have been a lot of people coming and going at home recently, hey, the master has been frowning recently, and there are many wrinkles on his forehead."

Zhulan understands that some people run around privately for their jobs, some beg Zhouhou's mansion to say good things, some threaten and lure them to squeeze soft persimmons, Zhouhou's mansion is not afraid of offending people and refuses, but the Wei family can't.

Zhulan said: "It's better to be more careful these days, and try not to go out of the city if you have nothing to do. Hello, Master Wei can feel at ease."

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, in the face of survival, the in-laws of the Hou family can't keep everyone down, there are always people who want to take risks.

Especially knowing the emperor's mind, those who want to survive will think of many ways, anyway, it is not the big mistake of Zhujiu Clan, they will taboo people who should not be provoked, and those who have no backing are not afraid, they are guilty and defeated. That's a lot.

Feng's face turned pale,

The master has been telling her to be careful recently, "I'll make a note of it."

Zhulan laughed again: "The current capital city is not more than ten years ago. In the capital city, I dare not commit crimes blatantly, unless I am really crazy."

Feng's heart is much more at ease, the law and order in the capital is indeed good.

Zhulan also prepared a return gift, and because Xinyi was ill, she also prepared some medicinal materials.

In the household department, Zhou Shuren looked at the new bound account books, five boxes in total, "Not bad."

Qiu Yan's face was numb, "Could it be too much?"

How many houses will be copied? How many industries are recorded?

"I'm afraid that you will think that you have not prepared enough."

The money given by the imperial court to build roads every year does not seem to be much in a year, and it cannot last for a long time, and the most important thing is the money donated by merchants. It is some places that need to pay tribute, and the merchants are very rich.

He could already imagine that the national treasury was full, and he made a fortune overnight by raiding his home.

Qiu Yan's scalp was numb, "Why don't these people want to live a good life!"

"Because of greed."

Qiu Yan moved his mouth, "Silver is indeed a good thing."

Zhou Shuren agreed, "Go and do your work."

After a while the crown prince came, Zhou Shuren was surprised, "Why did the crown prince come to the household department?"

The prince held two booklets in his arms, "Do you want to read it, my lord?"

Zhou Shuren glanced at it, oh, the note from the Ministry of War, "I don't want to read it."

The prince knew in his heart that he would not ask, so he handed over the booklet, "My lord, please read it."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

So why ask him? Just give it to him directly.

The papers from the Ministry of War were sent to the Ministry of Accounts for no other purpose than to ask for money. Sure enough, Zhou Shuren stared after reading it, "Change the armor?"

The prince nodded, "It has been a few years since the end of the war, and the armors used have not been replaced, and some of them really should be replaced."

Zhou Shuren closed the booklet, unable to breathe with heartache, but he couldn't refute it. In recent years, the money given to the Ministry of War has paid more attention to cotton clothes and other expenses, and the armor has been used as it is.

Now seeing that the Ministry of Households was about to send out, the Ministry of War knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so he bit the bullet and sent the papers.

The prince cleared his throat, "It's not all."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyes, "If you sell the minister, you won't be able to get all the money in exchange."

Unless the country fails, he is really too difficult.

The prince smiled, "No one can sell you if you sell it."

Zhou Shuren was not happy, "Part of the money from the house raids will be used to build the river dam."

He also wants to build reservoirs in water-deficient states to minimize the damage caused by drought. In the past, there was no extra money, and every penny of money had to be calculated carefully. Now the money is finally surplus, and my heart hurts!

The crown prince stayed in the household department for a long time, knowing the careful planning of the household department, "Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Zhou Shuren stared at the excerpt, he really worked hard.

The prince sat for a while and asked him puzzled questions. Zhou Shuren didn't hide his words, and the prince was puzzled. This time it was too happy.

Zhou Shuren said, anyway, I want to teach your son, in order for the prince to accept it quickly in the future, I will explain more for the convenience of the future.

Going down to the Hanlin Academy, Gu Sheng looked at the people around Zhuo Guyu with a look of indifference. Since the Duke's Mansion donated half of the property, Zhuo Guyu was shocked and there were many more people around Zhuo Guyu.

Gu Sheng can also feel that someone's eyes on Zhuo Guyu have changed. In the past, Zhuo Guyu was very generous and only thought that the Duke's Mansion was rich. Now that he has seen the family background of the Duke's Mansion, he thinks that Zhuo Guyu is stingy and has people's hearts!

Zhuo Guyu was impatient, the smile on his face did not change, and he had to talk patiently.

Changzhi walked up to Gu Sheng, "Let's go together?"

Gu Sheng, "My lord?"

"I'll give you a ride."

Gu Sheng said: "I want to talk to my elder brother."

"Um."

When Gu Yan drove the carriage and explained the situation, Gu Yan said, "Then I'll go back first."

"good."

Chang Zhi took Gu Sheng to drink tea first, Chang Zhi saw that Gu Sheng was absent-minded, "What do you want?"

Gu Sheng said what he wanted, "Lord Zhuo seems to have put shackles on himself."

Changzhi, "He just integrated into the officialdom."

Gu Sheng laughed after hearing this, "My lord is right."

Zhuo Guyu has ambitions, but he doesn't, so he will notice the obvious changes of Mr. Zhuo.

Changzhi touched the teacup, "There are a lot of people paying attention to you recently."

This is the reason why he asked Gu Sheng to drink tea. Recently, Gu Sheng often enters the palace. When he comes out, he is relaxed. People with good intentions can see it. Gu Sheng has a good relationship with Mr. Wu, and Zhuo Guyu can no longer suppress Gu Sheng's light. , who cares about Gu Sheng's reputation, what's more, Gu Sheng's family has almost saved, and he seldom sells paintings.
