  Chapter 518 519【Supervisory Grain Case】

  After talking about business, Qianlong looked up at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly thought of Du Xiaoyue.

   "It would be great if Xiaoyue was here, and she could chat with us to relieve boredom." He said with a smile.

  Du Xiaoyue has a bold personality, a simple mind, innocent and cute, and is quite likable.

  Most of the women in the palace were born as ladies, and they received the three obediences and four virtues, family rules and palace rules since they were young. They are all bound like puppets. To be honest, they are really not as cute as Du Xiaoyue.

   "Your Majesty!" Just as he was speaking, a person sprang out from the shadows, startling He Shen, and hurriedly opened his hands, took a step across, and protected Qianlong behind him.

  But after he saw who was coming, he retreated resentfully, "Du Xiaoyue, you yelled in the middle of the night and startled the holy car, what should you do?"

   "I didn't do it on purpose. I was playing well, and I jumped out when the emperor called me." Du Xiaoyue giggled.

   "Hey, it might as well, I was frightened by her, and my troubles were scared away." Qianlong laughed, "Xiaoyue, what were you playing just now?"

   "I heard a cricket chirping in the yard, it was so loud, I was about to catch it." Du Xiaoyue laughed.

   Qianlong laughed when he heard this, "Xiaoyue, you are still at ease. I wish I could be half as relaxed as you are."

   "Your Majesty, what are you worried about?" Du Xiaoyue asked with concern when she heard this.

   "There is trouble in the northwest, and even I have to go there." He Shen explained.

Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, "My lord, I'll go with you. I heard Mr. Ji said that the Northwest is fun, what [cattle and sheep are seen in the wind blowing grass], what [cantaloupe, kebabs] ..."

   "We are going to fight, it's fun!" He Shen said speechlessly.

   "War?! That would be more fun." Du Xiaoyue became even more excited when she heard this.

   "Nonsense, is it fun to fight?! Besides, you are a woman, what are you going to do, to be a military supervisor?" Qianlong laughed.

   "Xiaoyue thanked the Lord for his kindness, Your Majesty, you are not joking!" As soon as Xiaoyue heard it, she immediately hit the snake with the stick.

   "Look, look, I live in thatched cottage all day, and I can't learn from Ji Da Yandai." Qianlong complained, "Okay, you can go. But there are no jokes in the army, you are not allowed to mess around."

   "But what if the adults bully me?" Du Xiaoyue said quickly after hearing this.

  Qianlong laughed, "I allow you to tell the story secretly. If he bullies you, you can sue me."

   "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Du Xiaoyue suddenly became happy.

  He Shen had a bitter look on his face.

  …

   Study room.

  Xiang Nan was drafting an edict when Xiaoyue walked in bouncingly, "Sir, the emperor appointed me as a military supervisor and allowed me to go to the northwest to fight."

"Oh, okay, Xiaoyue, you are now an official." Xiang Nan said with a smile when he heard it, "However, fighting is not a joke. The firearms of Luocha soldiers are sharp, no matter how advanced your martial arts are, you will be beaten One shot is more dangerous than good, so we must be careful."

   "Well, I see." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "I went to the northwest this time, and I just focused on Heshen, so that he would bully Xiangyun before."

   "Hey, after all, He Shen is the commander-in-chief of the army. You can't always fight against him. You still have to protect his safety. Otherwise, without a commander in the three armies, the Northwest will be in chaos.

  In the face of foreign enemies, state affairs and the overall situation are the most important. "Xiang Nan exhorted.

   Clean up He Shen, there are many opportunities. But if the Northwest is in chaos, and the Western Regions, Ganzhou, Outer Mongolia, and Inner Mongolia are occupied by Rakshasa, then it will be troublesome.

   "Yes, sir." Du Xiaoyue nodded.

   "Ji Aiqing's words are justified!" Qianlong walked in with a smile and said, "We are ministers in the same palace, and fights return to fights. When foreign enemies are present, we have to resist their insults together."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded, "I only hate that I am a civil servant. I don't know how to fight, and I don't know how to fight in the army. It's hard to share my worries for the Emperor."

   "Okay, you don't understand the matter of leading troops to fight, I don't blame you~" Qianlong laughed, "I have other tasks for you. Ji Xiaolan, help me keep an eye on Wang Dan.

  The case of grain supervision in Ganzhou has a long history, and he, the governor, must be involved. He also wanted to get rid of the crime by presenting "A Picture of Rising the River during the Qingming Festival", hmph, no way! "

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded.

   "Sir, what is the grain supervision case?" Xiaoyue asked curiously.

  “Since ancient times, the land in Ganzhou has been barren, and there have been famines every year. In order to relieve the disaster, the imperial court authorized the local wealthy households to donate grain in exchange for a quota of supervisors. The grain obtained is called supervisor grain.

   This was originally a good recipe for the imperial court to relieve disasters, but local officials took this opportunity to fill their own pockets, making the supervising grain exist in name only. "Xiang Nan explained.

   "Hmph, the imperial court doesn't know how many supervisors have been sent out these years, but the people in Ganzhou are still hungry. Do these treacherous officials and thieves really think that my knife is rusting?" Qianlong said.

   "But isn't Wang Danwang the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang? What does the Ganzhou matter have to do with him?" Du Xiaoyue was puzzled again.

   "He was the governor of Ganzhou before, and he was transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang just now." Xiang Nan explained.

   "Oh, it turns out that the emperor is trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Du Xiaoyue suddenly realized.

   "Tune the tiger away from the mountain?! At most it is to lure the snake out of the hole." Qianlong said disdainfully.

  …

  In the middle of the night, Xiang Nan, He Shen, and Du Xiaoyue left and went to the post house to rest.

  As soon as he stepped out of the gate, Wang Danwang greeted him, "The two adults in the middle hall have worked hard. Wang has specially prepared a family banquet to clean up the dust for the two adults..."

   "Master Wang, it's getting late now, so there's no need for it." Xiang Nan laughed.

   "Hey, it's not too late, it's a little family feast. Please do honor me, sir." Wang Danwang repeatedly asked to stay.

   "Master He, look~" Xiang Nan looked at He Shen and said.

   "Since Mr. Wang is so kind, let's go." He Shen smiled and said.

   "Thank you, my lords, for your honor, please!" Wang Danwang said happily immediately.

  The four of them rode sedan chairs all the way to the back garden of the government office, and saw a banquet on the waterside pavilion by the lake.

  On the song stage on the other side of the waterside pavilion, there are also opera singers babbling and singing.

  After everyone was seated, they were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

   "Come on, miss, please come out and meet the two adults." Wang Dan said with a smile when he saw that everyone was blushing.

   "Lord Wang, return the golden house?" He Shen asked with a smile when he heard this.

   "Hey, my lord is joking, Qing Lian is my righteous daughter." Wang Dan said seriously.

  While speaking, a woman with picturesque eyebrows and graceful temperament came lightly.

  She is all in white, with a light gauze body, slightly crooked eyebrows, and light lotus steps, just like a lotus out of water swaying in the breeze.

  Xiang Nan and He Shen couldn't help being taken aback when they saw this.

   "Ah, it's her~" Du Xiaoyue was very surprised, and recognized this woman, who was selling paintings at a stall by the West Lake that day.

   "Lord Wang, this is..." He Shen moved his index finger.

  Looking at the beauties under the lights is more fairy-like than that by the West Lake, just like the people in the painting, so beautiful.

   "This is the little girl Su Qinglian. Qinglian, I have met the two adults." Wang Danwang couldn't help but feel a little proud when he saw the expressions of He Shen and Xiang Nan.

   Thanks to the book friend Mo Xueyiyun for the reward, thank you!
