Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

(Four thousand words have been completed in the previous chapter. If you haven’t read the whole chapter, please go back and read the missing parts.) Xiao Yunyan left Qiu Mansion. Returned to the palace immediately. The current situation is that the enemy's plans have been destroyed many times, and a large number of weapons and money that have been prepared for a long time have been confiscated by them.

I don't know if that organization will jump over the wall and think of other ways to speed up the rebellion. Still disappeared again, prepared again, and waited for the right time to carry out rebellion again.

Xiao Yunyan came to the emperor's study room, and Li Mohan was also there. Also discussing the matter were Xiao Yunyan's father Xiao Siheng and eldest brother Xiao Yunhan. The two were entrusted by Li Mohan to find out the root cause of the diversion of military food.

The two of them discovered the mole in the household department. He was a direct descendant of the eldest prince and the minister of the household department, responsible for the allocation of money and food for the army.

It turned out that the Ministry of Household Affairs allocated food and military pay. Some transport convoys were arranged after leaving the capital. Before going to the border, go to their own granary and replace it with good food. Grain mixed with sand and grass seeds. Reload onto the carriage. Pull all the way to the border.

There are still some things they can't arrange. Transport fleet. That was the convoy designated by the imperial court. They also have strategies to deal with this. It was the convoy that asked for carriages after the convoy entered the border town. Enter the granary designated by the government. The goods were inspected there, and the team members were arranged to eat and rest. After the goods are inspected in the granary. Then let them go to the military camp to hand over the food.

That is to say, in the so-called government-designated granary, when loading the truck, the grain below was mixed with sand and grass seeds. Only the above few bags are qualified as good food. When inspecting food in the military camp, only the top few bags are inspected.

According to the results of the investigation. Even the grain inspection officials in the army were bribed by that organization. Therefore, all the food brought to the army was mixed with sand and grass seeds.

The army's food and finance officer had written notes and reported this to the superiors many times. But these little things are all in vain. The emperor's approval was not obtained.

The two border marshals Qin Fangjia and Huo Daxing both reported in the book that there was a lot of sand and grass seeds in the grain. The emperor also sent the Ministry of Household Affairs to find out the matter. However, every time it was nothing.

The emperor also remembered this. Every time he checked, he found that the food in the warehouse was very good. What is shipped out is also the food in the warehouse. But when we got to the border, things changed. The reason has never been found out.

So at that time Li Mohan said that he had to go to the border for inspection. Food officials. The emperor thought of it at that time and asked him to investigate the matter thoroughly. He secretly gave him Shang Fang's sword and token.

The emperor did not expect that his daughter-in-law was a person with mysterious abilities. Many things that were originally very complicated became much easier than before with her joining.

The food crisis at the border was solved by my youngest daughter-in-law. Since then, many things have become less stressful because of the presence of the younger daughter-in-law. Even his own life was saved by his daughter-in-law. Therefore, he wanted to pay more attention to the Xiao family.

Li Mohan had already greeted his father-in-law and uncle before the emperor's instructions. Let them secretly investigate within the Household Department to find out who is behind the theft of military rations.

today. Xiao Yunyan's father and eldest brother came to the emperor together and presented the evidence they found to the Yushu case.

Yunhan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was the main person involved in the investigation of this matter. He knew more about what was going on inside. The emperor asked him to tell some details. During the process, Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan listened and recorded their questions. When Xiao Yunhan finished speaking, they raised their doubts. The two old ones remained silent. Just listen.

In the end, the crux of the problem is: both the eldest prince and the second prince were involved in this matter. How did they manage to avoid conflicts? This real behind-the-scenes instigator is really very clever, and he can make the two princes go from confrontation to cooperation. Two completely different camps. closely united. To do such a big thing of killing everyone!

Xiao Yunhao said that they were divided into two parts. The people on Jingdong’s side are from the eldest prince. Those on the other side of the border belong to the second prince. The food they got. Sold to a large grain merchant. However, the price is 20% lower than the market price.

Maybe the people on the side of the eldest prince and the second prince were afraid of long nights and dreams, and wanted to quickly turn the stolen food into gold and silver. So I won't over-price, I'll just negotiate and raise the price by one penny. Both parties reached an agreement.

And that group of people sold these grains to surrounding countries behind the scenes. In this chain of interests, everyone is a beneficiary, sharing the profits gained from secretly selling military rations. Only the imperial court lost a large amount of military rations.

Xiao Yunhan handed the list of these people to the emperor, and the emperor asked Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan to take a look.

Li Mohan took a look and found that some of the people above looked familiar. Just some time ago, four princes and many ministers were stolen. There were a few of them, and they were also on the list, and the emperor also looked at Xiao Yunyan. Xiao Yunying seemed to understand what the emperor meant. She asked her father: "The money these people got was handmade vermicelli. It was considered ill-gotten wealth. If his home was robbed, did he deserve it?"

The emperor nodded, and everyone else nodded too. Yes, yes, he deserves it.

Xiao Yunyan also nodded, bad guys like them should be stolen. Don't find these people. She had no choice, but knowing the names of these people, she had a way to deal with them. The emperor also believed that Xiao Yunyan had a solution. Only Xiao Yunyan's father and brother didn't know that Xiao Yunyan now had extraordinary abilities.

Although I have heard a lot of gossip, I have never seen it with my own eyes. Looking at the riddle between Yan'er and the emperor today, the two of them seemed to understand that Yan'er really had abilities they had never known about. Moreover, he was recognized by the emperor and secretly protected by the emperor. They were relieved now, after all, Xiao Yunyan was the emperor's direct daughter-in-law. If the emperor doesn't turn to her, who can he turn to?

Xiao Siheng and Xiao Yunhan also wanted to see what kind of blow their precious Yan'er could give to every vested interest in the chain?

The campus members acted with lightning speed and stole several officials from the imperial court in an instant. Every official is a giant rat. from their private treasury. The total amount of money confiscated actually reached fifty million taels.

Of course, there may be income from running his own shop here, but who can guarantee that there is no Zhang Yin here? Xiao Yunyan wouldn't be able to tell clearly which taels of silver in their warehouse were obtained by secretly selling military rations? Which one tael of silver did you earn by yourself?

Since they dared to interfere with the court's food and salary, they would have to think about one day having their homes confiscated and their families wiped out. Now Xiao Yunyan takes the first step and steals the money. It's just to avoid disturbing the public in a large area.

The strategy conspired by the emperor and these people was to boil the frogs in warm water so that these people would slowly fall into the law.

Because this time it was not just a few officials in the interest chain who were stolen, but also several other officials who were not in the organization.

So they may not be able to confirm that this is what was done to them. Everyone is lucky. Of course they don't. That organization was completely exposed.

Xiao Yunyan did this matter secretly. Because the kindergarten teacher left no clues. So after these cases were reported to Dali Temple. With no clues to investigate, each family can only accept their bad luck and continue to accumulate wealth.

Those families who suffered together were not innocent people, they all liked to embezzle public funds. There are many people who do all kinds of things that harm the public and enrich their own private life. Xiao Yunyan picked them up together, just to confuse the target. In order to directly confiscate the ill-gotten gains they received.

In the court, more than a dozen veterans cried bitterly, saying that all their money had been stolen, and even the food in the kitchen had been emptied. I really can't even finish the meal at home. I beg the Emperor to have mercy on me.

The emperor gave them an idea. They could sell two of the shops below his house and eat for half a year.

These veterans reported to the emperor. The deeds to their shops were stolen. There is currently no way to continue trading.

The emperor was truly merciful, and the court gave two hundred taels of silver to each household that had been robbed. It is enough for a family to live frugally and survive until the next payment of salary. The emperor comforted them with a few words and put the matter aside without mentioning it. The mute people who were stolen from the family eat coptis and can only swallow it if they feel bitter.

These gold and silver treasures stolen by Xiao Yunyan. Part of it goes to the treasury. A large part of it was taken to the local area and used as funds for infrastructure construction. Some are also used to help local poor beggars.

Winter is coming soon, a cold place. The little beggar was homeless and his clothes were too thin. Although Xiao Yunyan cannot help all the little beggars at once. But where roads are being built. Those little beggars who sign up can get two sets of winter clothes, and those who don't sign up will also get one set of warm winter clothes.

Some places. Roads have been basically repaired, canals, and city walls have also been repaired.

Xiao Yunyan and officials from the Qintian Prison calculated together that the snow in the north and west this year is expected to be very heavy. Let idle workers and under the leadership of stewards go to various towns and villages to publicize. If your roof or house is dilapidated, repair it immediately to prevent it from collapsing under the weight of snow in winter.

If the lonely elderly people and widows without men in each village need help, these road construction workers can help repair their houses. Not only was no money collected, but Shan Daguan was also responsible for reimbursing the missing materials.

There are also those whose families are very poor but have no shortage of labor. Each family contributes its own labor and reimburses the cost of materials. If they want to participate in repair work on other people's homes, they can also sign up. Daily wages are paid based on local wages.

These detailed statistical investigation tasks were handed over to the managers during the road construction process. They led the workers to the countryside in batches and conducted surveys and verifications with the local authorities. Start repairing the house immediately.

Although Xiao Yunyan stole a lot of gold and silver, for these local public welfare undertakings, the money was flowing out like water, and the gold and silver flowed out.

She is worried that the funds will be used more and more as time goes by. Because although there is no heavy snow in the central and southern regions, there is also winter rain in winter. Not repairing it is not a long-term solution.

Although wealthy landowners also donated money during this process, it was not a long-term and stable source of funds after all.

On this day, Li Mohan led the secret guards from the Tianzi Group and the Dizi Group to find Xiao Yunyan. Li Mohan told Xiao Yunyan the good news that the emperor had given the couple the responsibility of cracking down on the rebel organization's secret mining of mineral deposits.

Xiao Yunyan asked: "Who is responsible for the grain inspection over there?"

Li Mohan explained the situation again, because after this investigation, his father had already given him the help to supervise those who stole the food.

They were not touched on the surface, but someone was already supervising them internally. It is the officials in the army who are responsible for grain inspection and their cronies. If there is any movement, they will report to Xiao Yunyan's father, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, at any time.

The emperor's intention was to secretly supervise them first and not move for the time being. Let Xiao Yunyan speed up the investigation of the secretly mined mine.

It would be best if Xiao Yuntian could find out where the gold and silver they secretly dug were hidden, and clear out the wealth they accumulated at once. No matter how much wealth they accumulate, if Xiao Yunyan is gone, they will be instantly penniless and become paupers.

Your Majesty, you are particularly optimistic about this little daughter-in-law now. I feel that with her help, many very difficult things have become very simple.

But the consequence of this is that the younger son and daughter-in-law are often busy with yours and I with mine. Never meet in person.

In order to solve this problem, the husband and wife are now transferred together to investigate and handle the case of secretly mining mineral deposits.

This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country. If they are allowed to continue hoarding large amounts of funds and recruiting troops. The imperial court will soon be surrounded and overthrown by them.

The emperor assigned Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan with experts selected from the Huwei Army. There are one hundred people in total, all of them are agile and smart, and are at the disposal of Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan at any time. If you need to mobilize a large number of Imperial Guards, just contact Wu Zheng directly.

Yan Bing originally wanted to participate in this matter. Xiao Yunyan asked her to report to the Queen every day just like going to work. Stay with the Queen at all times. At first, Yan Bing didn't understand why. After waiting for some time, she discovered that her cousin-in-law really had the ability to predict the future.

Because none of the rebel organizations' assassinations directly targeting Li Mohan were successful, their goals changed.

On the one hand, it targets Li Mohan's biological mother, the Queen. On the one hand, it targets the Queen’s natal family, Yan’s family. The Yan family has a very large family business and has been harassed in many ways recently. At first glance, it seemed that someone was specifically targeting their business.

For this reason, Yan Bing's father and uncles have been very busy recently. He is busy dealing with various situations that arise in his family business.

The goods shipped to various places were either robbed, or all the laborers were hired away when the goods arrived at the dock. They have to wait until everyone has finished unloading their goods before their goods can be unloaded. Delays in distributing itineraries to various places.

In the restaurant under the Yan family's name, in recent days, either human hair or bugs have been eaten. There are many such disgusting little things. There is also a group of beggars who go to their shop to make noises and prevent the shop from operating normally.

The Yan family's business managers could only find various forces to calm down these matters.

For example, if there is a problem with workers on the dock, the steward of the Yan family has to visit the gang on the dock with a gift and ask the gang leader to help solve the problem.

Fortunately, the gang leader is not a sinister person either. They also know that the Yan family is very powerful and cannot be offended, so they give them face.

Make sure that the Yan family's big ship arrives in the future. There will be enough workers to unload them. In return, the Yan family gave the gang two thousand taels of silver.

As for those poor beggars, they cannot be beaten or scolded, and persuasion is of no use. Giving them delicious food can only solve a temporary problem. It looked like he had been bribed. Deliberately disgusting their family.

The manager of the Yan family went to find the beggar leader. Prepare enough good wine and food to prepare the beggar leader. He also gave these beggars a hundred roast chickens, two hundred large steamed buns, and a large pot of stew to put the matter to rest.

It's not a big deal, but the combination of everything makes people feel very uncomfortable.

These are still small things. Several workshops of the Yan family caught fire one after another. If you have a huge fortune, you are afraid of a fire. Fortunately, the workers of the Yan family are very loyal. Their workshops and factories attach great importance to the problem of fire, and each factory and workshop is always under high precaution.

Each workshop has at least 20 large tanks filled with water. Each courtyard of the factory has twenty or thirty large tanks. It is usually used as domestic water and is full every day. Once there is a fire, that is the source of water used to put out the fire.

Therefore, whenever there was a fire, the workers who lived in the backyard of the workshop ran to the yard, picked up buckets, fetched water from 20 large tanks filled with water, and put out the newly ignited flames. Still, there will be losses in the workshop.

Such terrible things happen every day, not just once. The stewards of the Yan family were very busy.

Although it is necessary to guard against thieves, no one can guard against thieves for a thousand days. The director of the Yan family reported to the person in charge of the Yan family. Can the source of the problem be found? Dealing with these troublesome things every day wastes too much time and affects normal production, transportation and operations. Especially in the store, all kinds of mistakes will greatly affect the Yan family's reputation.

Yan Sheng went to the emperor and told him about the recent incidents of harassment at home. The emperor speculated that it was that group of people who did it. Not only the boss and the second child may be involved, the key is that the mastermind behind the scenes is relatively big.

This matter must be left to a specialist to investigate. At present, not many people can use it. Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan were investigating the mine. Wu Zheng took over the management and mobilization rights of the Imperial Guard, and was always on guard against major changes in Beijing.

This matter was handed over to Dali Temple for investigation, but nothing was found. They all used insidious means behind the scenes. Yan Sheng himself, as the Minister of Rites, does not have any major sacrificial activities for the time being, but he does have time. But he alone does not have that ability. I also need a helper. The emperor thought of Xiao Yunyan's second brother, Xiao Yunchu, the minister in charge of the Secretariat.

This young man has a very stable character and thoughtful thinking, and is worthy of a big responsibility. He was able to learn many things in Shangshu Province that others could not understand.

Now the emperor wants to appoint him to investigate the case with Yan Sheng. The emperor issued a decree to temporarily transfer Xiao Yunji from Shangshu Province. His original position will be retained, and he will temporarily help him with special errands. He and Yan Sheng were asked to find out who was secretly doing the Yan family's business.

Xiao Yunji is a concubine of the Xiao family. But he is very valued in the Xiao family. He was not discriminated against at all because he was a concubine. He received the same education and resources as Xiao Yunhan. Therefore, he was able to hold important positions at a young age. He has a particularly good relationship with Xiao Yunyan and Xiao Yunhan.

Now, the emperor entrusted him and Yan Sheng to investigate the case of the Yan family's business being disrupted. Xiao Yunji took this matter very seriously. and put forward his own ideas.

Matters in the arena must be settled in the arena. In the same way, the other party hired people from the Jianghu to do this case. That will definitely leave clues. Now they are going to find the old beggar leader and the leader of the Pier Gang, and start investigating from them.

It would be best if this matter could come out directly from them. If you can't let it out, you have to ask Xiao Yunyan to come forward and investigate together.

Although Xiao Yunji did not explicitly say that his sister has special functions. In fact, the emperor and Li Mohan already knew about it. They kept it secret from each other and knew the meaning of asking Xiao Yunyan to come forward.

Xiao Yunji and Yan Sheng, with two men who were good at dealing with ordinary people, first visited the leader of the Pier Gang. After some communication, the gang leader said: "Dear gentlemen, I'm very sorry. We have rules. If someone comes to us to do something, since we have taken over the matter. Not only must we handle the employer's affairs well, but we must also not The employer's information is exposed.

Otherwise, after we break the rules, who will trust our gang? "

Later, after a long period of communication. After privately giving two hundred taels of silver to the gang leader, the gang leader revealed that the man who asked them to do something was a masked man who was very generous. He spoke very coldly. This description is basically the same as the characteristics of the masked man found before. He was unwilling to reveal any more information.

With this news, there is a direction, indicating that the people who caused trouble this time and the organization that smuggled military rations are indeed the same group.

The two of them went back to find the old beggar leader of the beggar gang. They also said the same thing, but the people from the Beggar Clan spoke tactfully. They also provide some relevant information. But he didn't say the key words.

I learned from the Beggar Gang that according to the report of the little beggar below, the man wearing the mask often comes in and out of the Second Prince's Mansion. With this clue, their goal becomes clearer.

So, now there are two solutions. One is official intervention. However, this method is easy to apply to the population and may not have much effect.

Another way is to treat others in their own way. Since they have interfered greatly with the Yan family's business. Then this side can in turn interfere with or even destroy the business of the second prince and that organization.

When Xiao Yunyan stole their warehouse, she stole part of their business account books, important correspondence, the store's deed, and the title deed of Zhuangzi's land.

Based on these, you can find their business stores, trading channels, and production sites. As long as the target is clear, the attack will be very easy. The methods they know how to use can also be used here. There are even more methods here.
