Hearing this, he put down the utensils in his hand and nodded, "This is indeed the case." ”

When she heard the news of the renovation of the palace, Jiang Peihuan was stunned, and she thought of Xiao Junhao randomly.

In his previous life, Xiao Junhao tried his best to let Emperor Qi Ming hand over this errand to him.

And he also took advantage of this errand to cultivate a relationship with Emperor Qi Ming for a long time, so that Emperor Qi Ming entrusted him with great use.

"I don't know who the emperor is going to hand over this errand to."

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan also put down the tableware in his hand.

Although Xiao Nanye had been talking to Jiang Hong, he had always paid attention to Jiang Peihuan, and when he saw her put down the dishes, the man's eyes flashed, and then he said softly, "I haven't heard the imperial brother talk about this." ”

"The general suddenly asked about this, but what did he think?"

"Lord Wang, you must also know that it takes a lot of silver taels to repair the palace. But we have just regained Hanguguan, and I don't think the treasury is full. ”

If the treasury is not full, the emperor will have no money.

If you want to repair the palace, where does the money come from, you can only exploit it from the people.

Although Jiang Hong didn't say this directly, Xiao Nanye understood the truth as soon as he heard it.

Jiang Peihuan fell into his own thoughts, in his last life, Emperor Qi Ming handed over the repair of the palace to Xiao Junhao.

In order to do this errand well, Xiao Junhao privately didn't know how much money he posted, but he was a prince who didn't have the support of his mother and foreign family, where did he get so much money.

In the previous life, in order to repair this palace, the Jiang family paid a lot of money.

In this life, she wants to see what Xiao Junhao uses for money.

"General, do you think the imperial brother knows the current state of the treasury?"

"The emperor is the king of a country, and he knows it."

"That being the case, why does the general think the imperial brother still needs to repair the palace?"

Hearing Xiao Nanye's words, Jiang Hong fell into thought, he really didn't know much about this.

"What does the eldest lady think?"

Xiao Nanye suddenly looked at Jiang Peihuan and spoke.

At this moment, everyone in the Jiang family also looked at Jiang Peihuan. Facing the eyes of everyone, Jiang Peihuan whispered, "If I am not mistaken, the emperor's move is deliberate." ”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, Xiao Nanye's eyes picked, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.

"Huan'er, why do you think the emperor did it on purpose?"

This was Jiang Hong's question, and hearing his words, Jiang Peihuan continued to speak, "In recent years, although the Qi State has occasionally fought wars, the Qi State has a large population and a vast land. It stands to reason that taxes are sufficient to fill the treasury, but the treasury is not. ”

"I think the emperor also wants to know where the money went. The renovation of the palace, from the bright side, is the emperor's momentary thought, but it can also be said to be the emperor's waystone. Money is needed to repair the palace, the treasury is empty, and the ministers need to solve the emperor's urgent needs. ”

"Huan'er, if you are a man, it is terrible."

Hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, the entire main hall was silent.

In the silence, Jiang Ren opened his mouth with surprise in his eyes.

He had always known that his niece was smart, but he didn't want to be so smart.

Xiao Nanye sat beside Jiang Peihuan, and the expression that looked at her at this moment was full of surprise. After a while, he looked at Jiang Hong and said, "The general can now understand why the imperial brother wants to repair the palace. ”

Jiang Hong didn't speak, but nodded.

After lunch, Xiao Nanye was about to leave Jiang's mansion, and Jiang Peihuan sent him to the main door.

Looking at the person standing beside him, Xiao Nanye whispered, "Huan'er, I didn't know you were so smart. ”

"The prince praised it falsely, and I just said it casually."

"By the way, there's one thing I have to tell you."

Facing Jiang Peihuan's eyes, the man whispered, "The candidate for repairing the palace, the imperial brother has already decided, do you want to know who it is?" ”

"It's King Qing."

At this moment, the surprise in Xiao Nanye's eyes couldn't be hidden, he looked at Jiang Peihuan and said directly, "How do you know?" ”

Because this is something that has already happened in the previous life.

But in the face of the man's puzzled eyes, Jiang Peihuan just said lightly, "I guess." ”

Except for the initial surprise, Xiao Nanye's expression quickly returned to normal, looking at Jiang Peihuan, he said in a low voice, "If I open my mouth, this matter may not necessarily fall into the hands of Xiao Junhao, Huan'er, do you want me to stir up this matter?" ”

"I hope this errand can be firmly held in King Qing's hands."

Hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, Xiao Nan was stunned at night, and then a smile appeared in his eyes, "As Huan'er wishes." ”

Looking at the smile in the man's eyes, Jiang Peihuan said in a low voice, "I'll send the prince here, and the prince will go slowly." ”

Throwing down these words, Jiang Peihuan turned around and left.

Xiao Nanye stood at the gate of Jiang's house, and it was not until Jiang Peihuan's figure disappeared around the corner that the man withdrew his gaze.

And Jiang Peihuan, who went to the house, did not return to his plum garden, but went to Liu Xiu's grace garden.

"Huan'er, why are you here?"

"Third aunt, I came today to discuss something with the third aunt."

Liu Xiu didn't speak, waiting for Jiang Peihuan to continue.

"Third aunt, I remember that you have a shop dealing in stone bricks, wood and paint, right?"

"Not bad."

"Third aunt, from today onwards, you might as well ask the guys in the store to raise all the prices by 10%."

Liu Xiu has been exposed to it since she was a child, and when she heard Jiang Peihuan's words, she knew what she meant.

Nodding, Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Raising one percent is not a market price gouging, and the government will not care if you want to come to the government." ”

After leaving Graceland, Jiang Peihuan's eyes were full of smiles.

Stone bricks, wood and paint are materials that are not lacking or lacking in the repair of the palace, and raising the price of these materials, Jiang Peihuan believes that it will not take long for Xiao Junhao, the person in charge, to have a headache.

What Jiang Peihuan didn't know was that Xiao Junhao had already started to have a headache.

"Master Du, is this the silver you gave me to repair the palace?"

To repair the palace, it will cost millions of taels of silver, but the silver ticket sent by the head of the household department and Lord Du is only 100,000 yuan, and it is not satisfied.

Lord Du is almost sixty years old this year, his sideburns and hair are a little gray, and when he heard Xiao Junhao's words, he hurriedly bowed, "Your Highness doesn't know, in recent years, the military camp has spent a lot of money, so ...... That's all that's left. ”

"Otherwise, His Royal Highness will talk to the emperor and ask the emperor to suspend the plan to repair the palace, and then ...... it when the treasury is full."

"Okay, you go down first, the matter of silver, this king will figure it out by himself."

Before Master Du finished speaking, Xiao Junhao interrupted him coldly.

After Lord Du left, Pei Wu walked up to Xiao Junhao, "Lord Wang, this matter seems to be very tricky. ”

"It's that I'm thinking it's too simple."

He thought that if he got the errand of repairing the palace, he could take the opportunity to cultivate a relationship with his father. Now it seems that this errand is simply a hot potato.
