For several days, Ye Hao stayed in the palace to draw the wasteland planning map, and the wasteland matter must not be slackened, and it needs to be solved as soon as possible.

Ye Hao frowned, staring at the half-drawn drawings and pondering.

Just when she was puzzled.

"Knock knock—"

There was a sharp knock on the door, and Steward Yue's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Ma'am."

Listening to the solemn tone, Ye Hao unconsciously crossed a trace of uneasiness in her heart, put down the brush, raised her head and said:

"Come in."

Steward Yue pushed the door in, saluted, and hurriedly spoke:

"Ma'am, there's something going on over there in the wasteland, and I need you to go."

Ye Hao was stunned in her heart, how could something happen if she was so good?

"Do you know what?"

Steward Yue just shook his head and didn't say anything directly.

"The situation is urgent, please come over and take a look, it's not something that can be explained in a few words."

Ye Hao didn't ask any more, she was wearing regular clothes, and she had to change into a set when she went out.

"Steward Yue, you go outside and wait for me."

"Yes."

When Ye Hao changed her clothes and went out, she happened to meet Lin Bin, who came to look for her.

"You've come just in time, there's something to take care of over there in the wasteland, so come with me to take a look."

Lin Bin did not refuse, got into the carriage with Ye Hao, and still played the role of the coachman with hard work.

"What happened?"

Seeing Steward Yue's solemn face, Ye Hao couldn't help but ask again.

Steward Yue shook his head, still did not explain in detail, and insisted on not speaking until he reached the wasteland.

"You'll find out when you go."

Soon they were in the wasteland.

The sun was hot, scorching the earth, and Lin Bin stepped forward intimately and handed Ye Hao an oil-paper umbrella.

"The woman is delicate, you can use it."

Ye Hao did not refuse, and thanked and accepted.

The sun was dazzling, and she came out in a hurry, and she didn't have anything to bring.

If you really go back in the sun like this, your head will be dizzy.

Holding an umbrella, Ye Hao looked around at the scenes.

Everyone is in a hurry, they are busy with their own work, they look very orderly, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Ye Hao didn't know why, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like there is a problem.

"Madame, please come with me, there is danger around you, and be careful."

Until Steward Yue took the two of them to the place where the wood was piled up, where the wood was piled up in piles, which were the materials used to build the house.

Ye Hao was at ease, and took the initiative to ask:

"Steward Yue, but there's something wrong with the wood?"

She touched the wood, a little dust stained her fingertips, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, nothing wrong, no strange smell.

Knocked again, and the sound was thick.

Steward Yue nodded solemnly.

"Madame's guess is right."

Then he summoned two men dressed as refugees and commanded them:

"You two, tell Madame all about the matter."

The two replied.

"Yes, Steward Yue."

They are all refugees in the surrounding area, with no food or shelter, and they finally found a job to make ends meet.

Looking at Steward Yue's line of sight, the two were stunned for a moment.

The woman standing in front of her, dressed in a crimson shirt, and her three thousand strands of hair were pulled up with a ribbon, showing her ability and femininity at the same time.

The lips are red and the teeth are white, the skin is like congealed fat, and the clothes they are wearing, even if they don't understand it, they can see that the price is expensive.

The colors are bright but not tacky, and I'm afraid they can't afford to buy such a suit for the rest of their lives.

"Ma'am."

One of them learned to be called a housekeeper of Yue

Whew, leaning his back and lowering his head, whispered:

"Madam, early this morning, the house we built before suddenly collapsed without warning, and the wood broke directly from the middle, splashing out the powder, and we only knew after careful inspection that the wood material was not the wood used to build the house, and it was not hard enough, I am afraid that it will fall down before it has been built for a month, and it will not be able to rain."

When it rains, this low-quality firewood is eroded and soon loses its support.

It's good that they found out early, otherwise they wouldn't find out until they lived in it, so did they want to die?

As soon as I thought of this, the two refugees, you look at me, I look at you, and I was afraid for a while.

Ye Hao was taken aback.

"How so?!"

I wondered who was so bold to replace so much wood and so rampant under my nose.

Ye Hao and Lin Bin glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of confusion in each other's eyes, no matter how well-informed they were, they couldn't see what was different.

They were not familiar with the wood, they all knew nothing, and these things were handed over to Steward Yue to deal with before.

Ye Hao's eyes swept over sharply.

"Steward Yue, what the hell is going on?"

The silver taels she gave were enough, how could she buy this kind of wood, which was not suitable for building a house at all?

Steward Yue knew that Ye Hao had misunderstood, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing that Lin Bin was also looking at himself, for fear of being blamed, he hurriedly explained:

"I checked it today, and when the head of the Ministry of Agriculture handed over the account book, I didn't find any mistakes. The timber bought in the ledger was of the finest timber, and the cost was very high, and it was more than enough to build a house, and it would not be a problem to keep it from being eroded for a hundred years, but when I went to inspect it, I found that most of the timber piled up was a bargain, but it was very similar in appearance to the fine timber, and it was extremely difficult to identify."

Steward Yue spoke again.

"Fortunately, I supervised the whole process when I built for the girls last time, and I learned a little bit about the wood, and then I found out that there was a problem with this batch of wood. Otherwise, I don't know where all the money has been spent! There are people who are doing something in it, and it is shoddy!"

After a pause, he added, as if to justify his words.

"I also asked the workers, and they said that the wood was used from the beginning, including a third of the houses that were built here,"

Ye Hao looked at the rudimentary house, and couldn't stop the anger in her heart.

"Humph! It is really inhumane for someone to be able to take a person's life for the sake of money!"

Ye Hao was furious, and she also understood that she couldn't be impulsive at the moment, so she thought for a while, glanced at Lin Bin, who was thinking, and an idea popped up in her mind.

"Lin Bin, let someone drag some wood, follow us back to the palace, and investigate this matter thoroughly, I want to see who is so bold and dares to replace so much wood."

Lin Bin looked at Ye Hao's expression and understood that she had a plan in mind, and immediately looked at the refugee with protruding cheekbones and dark skin on the side.

"You two, can you help, thank you."

The two of them were happy in their hearts, the wages and benefits of working here were very good, and now they could have an extra income, and they immediately smiled and said yes.

The two of them each put one end of the wood on their shoulders and shouted:

"One! Two! Three! up!"

So he carried a bundle of lumber.

Lin Bin looked at Ye Hao, Ye Hao nodded, and he led the workers to the direction of the carriage, tied the wood and pulled the carriage towards the palace.

Ye Hao and Steward Yue walked to the house, and Steward Yue shouted:

"Everyone, stop, Madame has something to explain."

The refugees paused and looked at the woman in front of them, neat but luxurious clothes, and immediately understood Ye Hao's identity, and did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and slowly approached Steward Yue.

Ye Hao looked at the scrawny workers in front of her and sighed in her heart.

"Guys, the wood is out

There are some problems, and the houses that are currently being built need to be demolished and rebuilt. 「

"Huh?"

The crowd was in an uproar, you look at me, I look at you, sighing.

They have worked hard for so long, and they will push it if they say it's going to be pushed?

Ye Hao continued:

"As for when the construction will start, there will be another notice arrangement, so you can wait with peace of mind."

"So what do we do?"

The crowd didn't know who shouted, and that was what they were most concerned about.

Tired and tired under the scorching sun for so long, the house that was originally said to be built will be given to them for free in the future, but now the house is going to be demolished, haven't they worked for so long in vain?

In the midst of everyone's worries, Ye Hao sighed lightly.

"Don't worry, everyone, I won't treat you badly, no matter what happens, my original promise will definitely come true, and please don't be impatient."

Only then did everyone feel at ease, and the big stone hanging in their hearts was put down.

It's just a little regrettable, a good house, don't want it if you don't want it, and I don't know why.

So when will they be able to live in a house? It's been busy for so long.

The workers sighed.

But people are the ones who pay for the materials, how can they be qualified to pick and choose?

"Alright, let's do what Madame has arranged."

Steward Yue spoke to ease the atmosphere and instructed the refugees to demolish the houses.

Under the concerted efforts of everyone, the half-finished houses collapsed in a dust, choking people's eyes and not daring to speak.

As soon as you open your mouth, don't you eat a mouthful of dust?

Looking at the demolished house, Ye Hao felt very uncomfortable, which would consume a lot of manpower and material resources.

But there is no way, cheap timber at the same time shows that the construction of the house is not qualified, and money is nothing for human life.

Ye Hao and Steward Yue glanced back when they returned to the palace, nothing had changed, they were still busy, but the difference from when they came was that this time the workers were tearing down the house in full swing.

Ye Hao sighed.

"Steward Yue, let's go back to the palace."

Steward Yue didn't feel good either, there was such a big mistake in the place he was watching.

"Yes, ma'am, I will go back to the house and accept the punishment myself."

Ye Hao only responded lightly, she knew that Steward Yue's heart couldn't get over, but before the truth was found, everything was unknown.

Ye Hao and Lin Bin returned to the palace one after another, and when they returned to the palace, they saw workers putting wood in the front yard.

The maids who came and went looked at it curiously, not knowing what kind of fame they were doing.

Ye Hao looked at the wood in the yard and said to Steward Yue:

"Steward Yue, please invite the prince over, just say that I have something to ask him to talk about."

"Yes, ma'am."

Steward Yue saluted and took the order to retreat.

Cheng'an Palace.

"Lord Wang, Steward Yue asks to see you."

The little guy reported to Zhao Anwei, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Got it, come in."

Steward Yue hurriedly walked in and saluted Zhao Anyu.

"Lord Wang, Mrs. Fu asked you to come over, saying that there is something important to discuss."

Zhao Anwei took a sip of tea unhurriedly and asked:

"Oh? What matters?"

Seeing Steward Yue's solemn expression, he also got up.

"You go back first, and this king will change into his regular clothes and go over."

Zhao Anwei changed his clothes and went out, thinking in his heart why Ye Hao would take the initiative to invite him over.

After a while, they arrived at the courtyard of Ye Hao's family, Zhao Gaowei waved his hand to the people behind him, and they saluted and retreated.

Zhao Anwei looked at a few people in the courtyard, and then looked at the wood on the ground, still confused.

Ye Hao smiled and said:

"Lord Wang, please move to the hall, let's go to the house to discuss."

Zhao Anwei nodded and followed Ye Hao and Lin Bin into the house, there was tea prepared in advance on the table, Ye Hao picked up the tea and took a sip.

"But have you seen the wood piled up in the courtyard?"
