In the Shili Pavilion in the capital, Li Hansheng and Ning Guogong were sitting face to face. Ning Guogong said that he just caught up to see him off, but Li Hansheng didn't believe it either! Thinking of Commander Xie's letter, Li Hansheng even wanted to take Duke Ning Guo to Jiangnan for a walk.

Ning Guogong was 5 years older than Li Hansheng and had fought all his life. I really haven’t had the chance to enjoy life, and now I have to work hard for my children and grandchildren.

Although Li Hansheng was alone, he also came from a wealthy family. Duke Ning Guo came from a really poor family, and now his sons all have positions in the army, but they are all in vain.

Ning Guogong was also a little embarrassed at the moment. When he returned to the palace, he went to the emperor to apologize. It would be bad if he ruined the emperor's plan!

What Commander Xie said in his letter was really cryptic. If Li Hansheng took Ning Guogong away, he would be afraid that when the emperor really needs manpower, he would not have anyone available around him. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just said that he was going to Jiangnan to visit and bring gifts to Ning Guogong.

Although Ning Guogong didn't believe Li Hansheng's words, he didn't express it either. After sending Li Hansheng away, he returned to the capital to plead guilty. At this time, Emperor Liang realized that Li Hansheng's departure from the capital had attracted so much attention.

"I didn't expect that Li Guogong's trip to Beijing would have such an effect. Not bad! We can consider giving him more holidays in the future." Emperor Liang felt that he had found new fun.

After hearing what the emperor said, Ning Guogong didn't understand anything. It turns out that Li Hansheng really went to Jiangnan for fun. What should I do? He is so envious. He also wants to go to Jiangnan. When he was fighting in Jiangnan, he never took a serious look at the scenery of Jiangnan.

In Qu County, Xiao Qingshan purchased all the fruits received by the fruit farmers. All were sent to the newly built warehouse, and several peasant women were hired to re-select the fruits and package them.

After purchasing all the fruits, the county government's last bit of money was spent. Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan spent less than half a year on 150 taels of silver.

This also includes buying 4 cattle and 4 lambs for the county. Now it is kept in the backyard of the county government office, in the stable that was originally used to raise horses for the county magistrate. Now it is also being used.

If you don’t have money in your hands, you will have no confidence in your heart. Xiao Qingshan was a little worried. He wanted to go to the warehouse every day to see the fruits collected, for fear that they would spoil. Ming Jia and Xiao Qingshan have said many times that the fruit itself is relatively easy to store, let alone the special warehouse they built.

In fact, Mingjia's method is very simple, which is to create a time difference. The fruit trees in Chuanzhou mature in mid-August, and fruit dealers from other places come to purchase fruits at this time.

The fruits at this time are naturally cheap, but fruit farmers dare not store the fruits for a long time. Even if the price is low, they have to be sold to fruit merchants. Secretary Zhao went to the Zhao family in Chuanzhou to deliver festive gifts, just to get acquainted with several powerful fruit merchants.

The relationship doesn't need to be very close, as long as you know the fruit dealer's permanent address and can communicate with each other. As long as they store the fruits in Quxian County for one more month, basically all the fruits in stock will be distributed after one month.

Chuanzhou no longer has large quantities of fruits, and some of the remaining fruits are only suitable for local retail. There is no need to worry about the marketability of this batch of fruits in Qu County. The most important thing is that this year, the practicality of this warehouse can be tested with minimal cost.

If the fruit can really be stored better, then it can be done next year. Next year, whether the county continues to purchase fruits from villagers or rents warehouses to villagers, it will be a very profitable project.

What Secretary Zhao did was not considered robbing his own fruit seller. After all, the Zhao family's fruit was sold first. They were separated for such a long time, so there was no influence on each other. It is precisely because of this that Secretary Zhao is willing to help, otherwise he would not dare to offend his family.

Moreover, after the fruits were sorted, fruits of similar sizes were put into bamboo baskets, which were square bamboo baskets made by Mingjia. The fruits are placed layer by layer, which looks neat and more delicate.

The most important thing is that it is very convenient for fruit sellers to transport. In the past, traditional big-bellied bamboo baskets were used to pack the fruit. During transportation, fixing the bamboo basket is a bit more troublesome. This square bamboo basket can also be built high, which makes the fruit merchants like it very much, and they are willing to increase the purchase price.

Eunuch Gao knelt in the Qinzheng Hall and muttered silently in his heart: "This matter is over, our family must ask for the emperor's grace and leave the palace!" At this moment, all the palace officials in the Qinzheng Hall were already kneeling on the ground.

Emperor Liang looked disgusted after reading Xie Boyuan's letter. The prince looked a little scared when he saw his father. He couldn't help but wonder what trouble Taifu Xie had caused? It would be better for Taifu to return to Beijing as soon as possible.

"You all go down! Eunuch Gao announces that Duke Li has entered the palace." Emperor Liang waved his hand for everyone in the palace to go out. When Eunuch Gao heard that he could go down, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. After he finished breathing, he choked again.

Eunuch Gao spoke cautiously: "Back to the emperor, Li Guogong left the capital four days ago. At this time, he must have arrived in the south of the Yangtze River. Do you want to send someone to find Li Guogong?"

When Emperor Liang heard his father-in-law's reply, he also remembered it. When I think of investigating a case, the first thing that comes to mind is Li Hansheng. There is no way that he is the least involved in the court, so it is best for him to investigate such a widely involved case.

At this moment, Emperor Liang also came to his senses. Li Hansheng had just handled the case of the Liu family in Jincheng. It's not easy to handle such big cases one after another, and he doesn't want Li Guogong to suffer from it.

At this time, Emperor Liang handed the letter in his hand to the prince. He also wanted to hear the prince's opinion. Having taught him personally for many years, the prince is a thoughtful and strategic person, and he will definitely be a good emperor in the future.

The prince quickly read the letter: "These people really deserve to die!"

When the dynasty was first established, it was so difficult for the court. Millions of troops were waiting for rewards, and the daily consumption of food and grass was huge. At that time, my father proposed to donate the cattle and sheep captured from the grassland to the people, but all the generals did not agree.

In order for the people to have a good life and to help the states develop agriculture, the emperor overcame all difficulties and established breeding farms in each state. Even the sheep in the imperial village have been donated to be used as breeding sheep. In recent years, no matter how difficult it is, the village has never stopped allocating funds to the breeding village every year.

Now it is discovered that the breeding farm is making fake products and hiding livestock for personal gain. And it is very likely that all breeding farms across the country are doing this. No wonder my father is so angry.

"Father, this matter cannot be investigated by Li Guogong, it involves too much. The status of the Duke may not be suppressed, and someone from the royal family needs to be in charge." The prince knew that his father was struggling with the candidate sent to investigate the case.

In fact, Emperor Liang also thought that in such a big case, families from various states would probably be involved. Once the news leaks out, if the people sent out to investigate the case are from the royal family, they may still survive. Otherwise, he is just a prince, but he may not be able to escape being hunted all the way.

As long as it is delayed for a period of time, these aristocratic families will be able to destroy the evidence and get rid of this matter. What was found at that time was nothing more than a scapegoat.

"Prince, do you have a suitable candidate in mind?" Emperor Liang turned to ask the prince. In fact, Emperor Liang had also thought of it.

"Second brother is now old enough to run errands. And there is no official more misleading than the prince who has just left the palace." The prince looked at his father calmly, and simply said that the second prince was here to be a lucky man. Object, shield.

"Father, I think the third brother of the Liu family in Jinzhou City is a scheming and sinister person. It is appropriate for him to assist his second brother in investigating the case," the prince continued.
