Chapter Eighty-Three: Understanding the Political Situation and Entering the Strange House by Mistake
This dilapidated room looks very ordinary, and when Satsuki gets closer, the word "forbidden" is written on the door with a red pen, but it seems to be old, mottled and discolored, and some are not easy to recognize.
She opened the door and found that the room was very large, and it was densely packed with bookshelves, and the bookshelves were also full of books, and she guessed that this should be the information room of the household department.
The rows of bookshelves in this room, the shelves near the doorway looked relatively clean, but the bookshelves far from the door were covered with dust. Xiao Yue looked at the hair in her heart, when did she want to see so much information.
But when she thought about it, this Lord Min did something strange. It was clearly forbidden at the door of this house, but why did he let himself in, and then he didn't come in himself, what kind of secret is there that no one knows.
Satsuki saw these dusty bookshelves and didn't know where to start. She observed the bookshelves in the room, just as she noticed a peculiar phenomenon when she first entered the door, that is, the rows of bookshelves near the door were somewhat clean, indicating that someone had been here recently.
Satsuki remembered the detective she had seen before, which was one of her leisure activities after she was tired of studying.
Who has also come here to check these materials?Xiao Yue was curious, and she suddenly remembered the forbidden word at the door, she felt that this should not be an ordinary data room.
Through the light passing through the window, Satsuki noticed that there were obvious human footprints on the ground in front of her, and this footprint was definitely not hers, and the length and width should be a man. Could it be that Wen Youyou had been here before, or was it some other household official?
So, Satsuki followed this footprint and walked deeper into the house. She noticed that the footprint had stopped on one shelf, then began to become chaotic, and then the footprint extended to another. She looked up at the bookshelf, and there were several books on the bookshelf that were much cleaner than the others, and she thought that this person must have looked through them.
Xiao Yue took down these booklets and looked through them, and it turned out to be several years of income books.
Then she was taken to a few bookshelves by strange footprints, and found some more booklets as she had learned. Finally, she took the books to the window and looked at them one by one.
After a quick glance at the booklets, Satsuki felt like she had found a treasure, which was exactly what she was looking for, and it also gave her an idea of why it was banned.
It turned out that in the previous wars with the secret country, Great Britain unsurprisingly fell into a treasury crisis, and each time a method was adopted to solve this crisis, but each time the solution brought more serious consequences.
For example, Great Britain once made them lose a lot of money by increasing the punishment of the secret countries, and as a result, the two countries soon broke out into war again.
The latest solution, Great Britain solved the problem by selling officials, and as a result, a large number of corrupt officials appeared, and the treasury problem was solved, but the problem of official governance became more serious.
This means that the previous solutions were problematic, so it was banned from the officials of the household department. Satsuki closed the booklet and found that she had come for nothing. The only thing she learned was that she knew someone had been here before her.
Satsuki put the booklets back in their place and came out of the house, looking at Lord Min sitting in the corridor from a distance, her expression uncertain.
Lord Min pretended to be calm and said, "Did Master Wen find what you wanted?"
Satsuki shook her head, and then took her leave and left Tobe.
Satsuki left the household department and did not return to Anfu, but thought about the political reform strategy of the household department along the way.
When Xiao Yue already had a general idea in her heart, she looked up and walked to Jiang Shangyue Restaurant.
Seeing Xiaoyue's special respect, the shopkeeper Cheng half-bent over and said respectfully: "Childe, what a rare guest, let's rest in the backyard." ”
The backyard of Jiang Shangyue is not booked by ordinary people, Xiaoyue adopts the idea of scarcity as expensive, and can only be booked a quarter of an hour in advance every day, and the VIP system is also implemented, and the more guests who spend money on the VIP level, they are eligible to book.
Of course, you don't need to make a reservation if you like Satsuki.
Xu Chengchang would come to the restaurant every day to check the accounts, and there was nothing to do today, so he came to check the general account of last month, and he heard that Xiaoyue came to the restaurant, and he also came out to greet him.
"Childe came over and didn't say a word, and asked the kitchen to prepare and order dishes in advance. ”
"Chengchang, you're here, come with me to the backyard. "Xiao Yue was also very surprised to see him here.
"Uh-huh. Xu Chengchang turned to the shopkeeper Cheng and said, "You don't have to go over, there are so many guests today, and there is a shortage of people in the front hall." ”
The shopkeeper Cheng looked at the more and more prosperous business, and was in a good mood, he smiled and said: "Childe, then I won't follow the past, each small courtyard in the backyard has arranged people to serve, if there is any need, the branch will come to the front hall to tell me." ”
Xiao Yue also fell into the thinking of the policy of the household political reform, as if she didn't hear the words of the shopkeeper, and walked straight to the backyard.
Seeing this, Xu Chengchang didn't say much, quietly accompanied Xiaoyue, and walked all the way to the glazed water pavilion.
"I need pen and paper, you can have someone prepare it for me. "Satsuki entered the glass house, which was quiet, spacious and bright.
"I'll prepare it myself. Xu Chengchang was about to leave after speaking.
But Satsuki stopped him: "I have other things that I need your help with. ”
Xu Chengchang listened, and called the maid of the water pavilion, Linglong, "You go to the front hall to find the shopkeeper's preparation paper and pen, and say that the son in the backyard wants it." ”
Linglong nodded, and he didn't dare to look up at Xiao Yue timidly, so he hurried to the front hall, and Xu Chengchang, who was watching, shook his head.
"Chengchang, I don't know why I came here, please go to the Yamen of the Household Department to find Mu Shi and ask him to tell Master Wen that I am in the restaurant today, lest he run to Anfu to find me, if he goes to Anfu, you will go back and tell him. After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she fell into deep thought again.
When Xu Chengchang saw Xiao Yue like this, he remembered that when Xiao Yue wrote a water control strategy to Lord Wang before, he knew that the matter was not trivial, and hurriedly went out to do what Xiao Yue explained.
After a while, Linglong brought all the items that Xiaoyue needed to the glass house, and shouted timidly, "Childe." ”
Xiao Yue didn't hear it, and she shouted repeatedly: "Childe." ”
Xiao Yue raised her head to look at her, and found that there was a little girl standing in front of her, so she asked, "Who are you?"
Linglong's face turned red, and her eyes widened and said, "I, I'm the maid here...... Exquisite. ”
Xiao Yue looked at her cowardly appearance, and said with a smile: "Then you can't be so cowardly and afraid," she then comforted her: "Forget it, I'm not a guest here, what's the matter with you." ”
Linglong pointed to the table next to her, "Childe has everything he needs." ”
Xiao Yue nodded after seeing it, "I see that you are also uncomfortable, you can go out for the time being, and I will call you again if there is something." ”
Linglong breathed a sigh of relief and left the glass house.
Xiao Yue was alone in the house, writing in simplified Chinese the policy of household political reform that she had designed in her heart.
Xiaoyue wrote more and more, from one to two, from two to four, ideas popped up one after another, but what was theoretically feasible was not necessarily feasible in practice, she thought about it and denied it at the same time.
Time flies, but Satsuki doesn't feel it at all. Even Wen Youyou stood in front of her, but she didn't notice it.
