During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

But the Xie family was different. He knew better than anyone what the Xie family had done behind the scenes over the years.

The eldest daughter of the Cui family is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xie family. The two families have a close relationship. They have been intermarrying for many years, and their interests have long been intertwined.

"Go back to the old house."

The entourage went to prepare the car, and Cui Zhengbai put down a piece of gold and said, "Miss Mengxin, I have some things to deal with. I'll come back another day to listen to the girl playing the pipa."

"Young master, walk slowly."

Cui Zhengbai paused, accepted Mengxin's half-courtesy, and helped him up, "Isn't Miss Mengxin too tired? There are two parts of the song that she played wrong!"

Mengxin's face twitched twice and she smiled, "Maybe I've been tired recently. Thank you for your concern, sir."

Cui Zhengbai nodded with a smile and left the room.

Watching the Cui family's carriage go away, Mengxin opened the wardrobe and went to the secret room next door, "Sir, Xie Yushu has entered Beijing."

Sun Ming put down the peach blossom wine and nodded when he heard this, "Xie Yushu arrived three days ago. Our people knew it when he came. Don't worry about what you promised. The Supervision Department will not break its promise."

Meng Xin's eyes were red, "Back then, my brother was still a thirteen-year-old child with a bright future. Who would have thought that he would be attracted by Xie Yushu and take him back to the house forcibly. When he came back, there was not a single good thing about him. My father and mother I also died on the way to report to the official. If I hadn't been studying at that time, I would have been brutally murdered. I have never forgotten revenge for so many years, and now I finally have a chance. Thank you, sir."

Sun Ming looked at Meng Xin's face, "You are also a pitiful person. After the incident is completed, the Supervision Department will arrange a new identity for you. Then you can leave the capital, a place of right and wrong."

"Do you have to leave?"

Mengxin flashed her eyes as moist as honey, but hesitated to speak.

Sun Ming's ears turned red and he looked away, "It's best to leave, otherwise you will be in danger once the Xie family finds out."

Mengxin shook her head and took two steps forward, "I'm not afraid of danger. I live in the capital most of the time. I'm not used to going to other places."

Sun Ming coughed lightly and said, "That's fine. If you change your mind, come to me anytime."

"Thank you, Mr. Sun. Will Mr. Sun stay in Caiyun Pavilion tonight?"

"No."

Mengxin watched Sun Ming leave, turned around and resumed her trademark smile, looking at her guests affectionately and smiling happily.

In the morning court the next day, Luo Tingye agreed to the Ministry of Punishment's punishment of Prince Yu, and only focused on punishing the principal offender. His wife and children were not implicated, but he was ordered to leave the capital and was not allowed to return to the capital for the third time.

The courtiers all praised His Majesty for his wisdom.

Next, it was rare that there were no quarrels in the court. Even when various ministries applied for various funds from the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue rarely agreed generously.

Wu Shangshu felt relaxed, and even the household officials behind him felt refreshed. He had never spent money so freely. It felt good to be rich!
Immediately afterwards, it was time to prepare for the Autumn Examination. There were three exams in total, each of which was very important. The number of people admitted this year was double that of previous years, fifty people were admitted for Jinshi, and three hundred were admitted for Mingjing. people.

However, it can be said that this was the first time since the founding of this dynasty that the most Ming scriptures were used. Many scholars came to the capital, and the whole capital was full. Merchants took the opportunity to raise prices.

Luo Tingye ordered the Jingzhao Mansion to clean up the bad habits, and Jiang Miao also asked people to clean up the extra rooms in the nursery. Even the habitable rooms in the new nursery were cleared out for candidates from other places to live.

Upon seeing this, Hu Jijiu also asked Guozixue to free up a few rooms in the student dormitories.

Candidates from various places felt the lively atmosphere of the capital for the first time, especially His Majesty's punishment of inn cheating, which inspired many students to want to learn and achieve good results this year.

Even though private students are so positive, students from Guozixue are not far behind. Luo Tingye did not expect that his unconscious actions would inspire the people of Jin Dynasty to study. Especially the books with Pinyin printed by the Ministry of Rites were highly sought after by students. Learning Pinyin has also become a must for foreign candidates coming to the capital. project.

Jiang Miao's name has also been mentioned widely.

On this day, Jiang Miao came back from outside the palace and brought back a lot of agricultural and sideline products, which were piled up in the yard.

When Luo Tingye learned about this, he couldn't help but come to watch, "Is this all given to you by the people near the shoe factory?"

"Of course, now the grain is almost harvested and dried. I gave them a good price. This is what they thank me for."

Luo Tingye was a little annoyed, "Why doesn't anyone give me a gift?"

Jiang Miao comforted: "Isn't what I gave to you just for you? Besides, even if it's a gift for you, do you dare to ask for it? I'm not afraid that Yan Guan Yu Shi will give you a copy."

Luo Tingye looked back regretfully.

I am happy alone, but not everyone is happy.

Jiang Miao asked people to divide the melons and fruits, and then had people pack them up and give them to each family. Basically, the families of the first and second-rank officials in the court received gifts from the Queen.

Although the gift was a bit light, everyone enjoyed the meal quite happily.

Unexpectedly, the next day, someone participated in the Jiang Miao book.

Officials from the Yushitai stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am going to ask the Queen to search for people's wealth and people's anointing."

"puff……"

Jiang Qian accidentally sprayed it out. He noticed the attention of everyone and stood up hastily, "I have violated the rules of conduct in front of the palace. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Luo Tingye said: "Go to the official department to receive the punishment."

"Yes."

The people in the Ministry of Personnel did not take this matter seriously, and most of them were still paying attention to the censor who was speaking.

A few people's eyes fell on Mr. Wei. He is the chief official of Yushitai. Could it be that he was the instigator of this matter?
But looking at Master Wei's blank expression, everyone believed that it was not Master Wei who did it.

Luo Tingye accumulated anger, raised his eyelids and said, "Say."

"I heard that the Queen Empress opened a shoe factory in Shanwa Village and recruited the people of Shanwa Village to work. The Queen Empress was very tyrannical and made the villagers use the seeds she provided to buy and sell them by force."

"Not only that, but even the fruits in the people's homes are not spared. As the mother of the country, the queen should set an example. If she covets the people's wealth and anointing, and the people below follow her example, won't it lead to a bad trend?"

"I sincerely request your Majesty to set off, Queen."

Jiang Qian stood up with a cold face, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the Empress did not force Shanwa Village to use the seeds she provided. It's just that the new wheat seeds on the market are expensive, and the seeds purchased by the Shanwa Village villagers were kidnapped. , the Queen bought the seeds with her own money out of sympathy for them."

Luo Tingye nodded.

Wu Shangshu thought for a while and then stood up, "The Empress has sold the grain from the villagers of Shanwa Village to the Ministry of Revenue yesterday at a lower than normal price. The Empress has not benefited from it." (End of Chapter)
