If it hadn't been assigned to Lu Tianhui's name, the crimes of Huang Bin and others would not have been revealed.

The tenants of the rice farm were exploited and oppressed for many years, and Su Qingyan and Lu Tianhui subsidized their losses with their own money, and hired all the women who could work on the mountain, and moved a piece of land to start building a factory, just like some textile shops.

Nowadays, the self-grown flowers have not yet been harvested, and the raw materials have to be purchased outside, and the perfume made recently does not need much.

All the stewards of Yonetagra have been replaced, and the whereabouts and details of all the people have been investigated clearly, and it is guaranteed that they are available people.

And Huang Bin's people, all of whom were guilty of serious crimes, were relegated to official slaves, and other suspected people were also imprisoned.

Since the incident of Rice Grange, many proprietors of Zhuangzi have begun to investigate the matter on their own, and sure enough, there are some people who steal chickens and dogs and mix in it to deceive the proprietors and oppress the tenants for a long time.

For a while, the whole capital was in a panic, after all, the most serious corruption was Huangzhuang, Shen Tianming also specially sent ministers to investigate this matter, and the progress could only be regarded as so-so, and it was not very beautiful.

In order to give an explanation to the people of the world, Shen Tianming ordered to reduce the amount of money in the palace, and all the expenses in the palace were cut in half.

I can't eat all the meals I eat every day, so it's better to cut them down and save waste.

One day, the emperor's breakfast was passed in the palace, Shen Tianming sat down on the table after dressing up, Xiao Xiazi opened the lid of the table meals for him one by one, and after automatically cutting the consumption, there were fewer dishes every day, and there were not as many tricks as before.

Looking at the two eggs on the plate, Shen Tianming asked casually: "Usually there are three eggs, why are there only two today?" ”

Xiao Xiazi glanced at it, blinked and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you want to cut the cost, maybe the imperial dining room has made another arrangement." ”

In this case, it doesn't hurt to have one less egg for breakfast.

Shen Tianming sighed, and was about to eat, when the movement of his hand suddenly paused, he thought of something, and said: "Xiao Xiazi, call the director of the imperial dining room, I have something to ask him." ”

Without blowing for half a moment, Director Wu of the imperial dining room came to the Qianqing Palace.

"The servant knocks to your majesty."

Shen Tianming didn't move the food on the table, and smiled kindly: "I didn't have anything else to do when I called you over, I just want to hear you talk about how much money is spent on daily meals, these dishes are all high-quality, I want to see if there is any place to be thrifty." ”

Steward Hao didn't know the seriousness of the matter, took two steps forward, and introduced to the emperor that the first few famous dishes were harmless, until it came to eggs...... "Eggs are precious, and they need eight taels of silver to enter the palace from the people...... "Wait a minute." Shen Tianming raised his hand to interrupt Director Wu's words, squinted his eyes, and asked gloomily, "You said that eggs are eight taels of silver?" ”

Director Wu disagreed, and said with relish: "Yes, eight taels of silver." ”

In the next second, Shen Tianming's slap flashed, and Manager Wu was caught off guard, and even Xiao Xiazi on the side was frightened by his appearance.

"Eight taels of silver, who are you going to do!" Shen Tianming was furious, even if there were some moths in the imperial village, these bloodsucking insects stretched out their hands to a really long time, and even dared to move the imperial meal, "No wonder the expenses in the palace are so large, a few copper plates in this market are said by you to be eight taels of silver, this daily, monthly, and annual income difference is really a lot!" ”

Xiao Xiazi silently mourned for this Director Wu, the new emperor in front of him is not an ordinary prince who has grown up all the way, Shen Tianming has lived in the people since he was a child, and he doesn't use the previous set of things.

Can he not know the price of an egg in the market, and dare to say in front of him that an egg is eight taels of silver, and eight taels of silver are the income of ordinary people for several years.

"As an official in the palace, you are in charge of the imperial dining room, providing food and drink up and down the entire imperial city, I didn't expect that there are people like you by my side."

Shen Tianming gritted his teeth, eager to kill this Director Hao on the spot.

"Someone! Drag this person out and hand it over to the prefect of the capital for disposal, and be sure to ask the prefect to find out the flaws in the imperial dining room, and where did all the swallowed money go! Find them all out for me! ”

Your Majesty has lost his temper this time, Xiao Xiazi knelt beside him, holding the teacup and trembling with his hands, His Majesty has not been so angry since he ascended the throne for almost a year.

"Natsuko-chan." His Majesty's voice came from above.

Shen Tianming gasped and asked in a low voice, "How many years has this Chief Hao been on an errand in the palace?" ”

"Director Hao was an errand boy in the imperial dining room when the first emperor was there...... It seems like more than 10 years. Xiao Xiazi winced and looked at Shen Tianming's face carefully.

"It's been more than ten years...... Shen Tianming laughed angrily, "It's been so long, if I hadn't felt strange today and called him to ask for an interrogation, I don't know how many years I would have to deceive me." ”

Lowering his head, Xiao Xiazi had the courage to say a word: "Your Majesty, please listen to the slave's words, you have no skills to deal with state affairs every day, and you want to worry about the internal affairs of the imperial city, but I am afraid that it is more than enough and not enough, if there is a person in the harem who can share it for Your Majesty, it will be easy to do." ”

"The one who bears for me?" Shen Tianming looked sideways and said expressionlessly, "You mean, Queen?" ”

"The minions don't dare." Xiao Xiazi knew that Shen Tianming had no intention of expanding the harem in the near future, let alone the queen, "The slave is just a little foolish, Your Majesty can just listen to it, but the queen has always been in charge of the middle palace, and you can also check the expenditure ledger of each room, there is a mother of the country in the palace, and the people below should be respectful and naturally introspective." ”

The steaming breakfast has become cold, Shen Tianming has no appetite this morning, these headaches disturb him, not only the affairs of the palace in the capital to deal with, but also the twists and turns of other cities.

To be a diligent and lazy emperor is very hard.

Xiao Xiazi is his personal official, and what he said is not groundless, and there is reason and evidence in it.

"Maybe you're right, I'm not too young...... Shen Tianming thought, or he ordered the younger sisters and daughters of the Quanchen family to volunteer to participate in the draft, and if they fancied, they would choose to enter the palace, which also made the lifeless palace a little angry.

The emperor has decreed the selection of concubines!

The whole capital was a sensation, and all the officials in the capital were excited, the new emperor has no queen, if any daughter can stand out and become the queen at this time, the mother's family will become a descendant, and the future is immeasurable.

After renovating the rice farm, Su Qingyan also began to prepare flower beds and perfumes, and she took the time to personally teach some tenant women how to make perfume in the village, and left the production method behind, and told them that this secret recipe should be kept absolutely confidential and not passed on.

Xiang went out to buy a large number of flowers and materials, and Zhuangzi left someone there, and would send samples to the General's Mansion for Su Qingyan to check every day, as long as she nodded, she could produce in large quantities.

In the past few days, the entire capital has been busy with His Majesty's marriage, and while punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is indispensable to climb the thigh of the royal family!

Su Qingyan listened to a lot of turmoil in the mansion, and the hot topic in the streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses suddenly became this, but it was just about the royal family, and everyone was sneaky when they listened to the drama and ate melons, for fear that they would be caught if they talked about something that offended the court.

"Ah Lin, you know what? Tianming is going to get married. ”
