Chapter 1027 Hualan was warned by Mrs. Sheng!

Although Lao Zhao has now become the emperor, he still has not forgotten his old profession. He specially asked people to bring the wheat that he cherished so much from Yuzhou, and he came to farm when he had nothing to do.

After approving the memorial, I felt exhausted, so Zhao Zongquan, dressed in a dragon robe and with a yellow collar tied around his arm, was working hard at weeding.

While working, he kept saying: "Zhongxuan, you have done well recently. The security in Beijing has improved a lot~"

"Guan family, I..." Yuan Wenshao was about to be humble, but he didn't finish his words.

Over there, Zhao Zongquan turned his head when he heard this, and said with a look of displeasure on his face: "How many times have I told you, from now on in private, just like in Yuzhou, you can just call me uncle, this will make you feel closer~"

"Your Majesty, your wheat harvest is about to be bumper. Please give me more when the time comes. Brothers Shi and Sister Ning like to eat the grain you grow the most~"

"Okay, okay, I can't control you anymore. For the sake of Brother Shi and Sister Ning, I will allow you to help carry the bucket of water. If you want to eat, you can't get it for nothing!"

"Okay~" Yuan Wenshao carried the bucket and rushed over.

But not everyone can help with the work. Why didn't he dare to move just now? It was because Lao Zhao didn't like to be disturbed by others when he was doing farm work.

There are also "uncle" and the like. Just listen to these words and it's over. If you take it seriously, you will lose. Isn't it a life-saving thing to call the emperor uncle?

"Huh~" Zhao Zongquan broke out in sweat, finally put down his hoe and walked over, then sat on the chair and breathed heavily.

He sighed in a happy mood: "Comfort, it's better to do some work for comfort. I've been bothered by government affairs all day long!"

Yuan Wenshao, who was standing by, was also very discerning. When he saw this, he quickly pushed the young eunuch away and helped him pour a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, please be careful!"

"Hmm~"

After drinking the water, he put down the cup and jokingly said, "Zhongxuan, you have achieved great results during this period, but many people are suing you, saying that you are taking this opportunity to make money~"

"Your Majesty, this is such an injustice to me. None of the confiscated stolen money has gone into my house. I am also about to report this matter to you!"

"Those scoundrels who commit evil deeds have indeed become a cancer in Bianjing. They force good girls to be prostituted and sell children, and they also set up private casinos to loan usury money. This is simply unscrupulous."

"The stolen money confiscated from them by Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Suguang has reached a million dollars. I don't know how to deal with this huge sum of money, so I ask your Majesty to make it clear!"

After Yuan Wenshao said this, he bowed respectfully, but in his heart, he could only blame those who had been cut off from their financial resources.

"Gudong!" Zhao Zongquan swallowed and subconsciously stood up from the chair, his mouth wide open in surprise.

Although he is now the emperor and is rich in the world, he was only a minor official in Yuzhou before. The Shen family is talented in running a family but only has tens of thousands of gold.

"How many did you say?"

"A million strings?"

"Zhongxuan, are you kidding?"

"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. A million dollars is just a lot more. It's just a rough figure now. Those real estate shops haven't been liquidated yet. It's estimated that it can be doubled again!"

"Huh~" This made Old Zhao look livid with anger.

You must know that now that he is the emperor, it is not easy to spend money. He would not dare to spend lavishly on any concubine he wants to reward.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so embarrassing. The royal roommate's "sealing treasury" is also called the inner treasury. More commonly, it is the emperor's private money.

As early as when Taizu conquered the world, this "sealing pile warehouse" had been set up. When the various warlords were pacified, their private property would be stored separately.

Later, Emperor Taizong also inherited this good tradition, and even took out the remaining part of the country's finances every year and hid it in this "sealed warehouse" to facilitate his own expenses.

So since it is the emperor's private money, Lao Zhao should be able to use it, but who is to say that he is not the son of the old emperor.

Before Renzong died, he probably felt sorry for his wife, who was with him, so he specifically handed over the control of the jade seal and underwear to the current Queen Mother.

This led to the fact that Zhao Zongquan was quite wealthy when he was in Yuzhou. Now he has to support such a large family and give rewards to his ministers for nothing, and his life is not as good as before.

So when I heard that scoundrels could confiscate millions of dollars, I was so angry that I wanted to pull over all those who complained and beat them up.

"Zhongxuan, I think this money should be handed over to the national treasury!" That's what Lao Zhao said, but his eyes were very honest, staring directly at Yuan Wenshao, which means that if you dare to agree directly, we two will be in trouble. .

I have no choice but to be poor.

No one would believe it if I told him. Who could have imagined that the mighty emperor would now use his wife's dowry.

Yuan Wenshao tried hard to hold it in because he was afraid that he would burst out laughing. In the end, he secretly pinched his thigh twice to hold back his laughter.

He said seriously: "Your Majesty, I feel that it should be taken from the people and used for the people, and should not be given directly to the national treasury!"

"Huh?" Zhao Zongquan didn't understand.

"how do I say this?"

"I have an immature idea, and I hope your majesty can help prove it~"

"tell me the story!"

"I think this money should be managed by the Queen, and then used to set up porridge shacks, nursing homes, orphanages, etc. all over the capital, so as to show the kindness of you and your Majesty!"

In fact, Yuan Wenshao's purpose of coming was very obvious. He came here blatantly to give gifts. It is most taboo to eat alone at any time.

The money was said to be for charity, but in fact it was kept with the queen. Only Lao Zhao and his family knew the specific use. Fake accounts were not limited to modern people.

Lao Zhao was quite moved, but he still cared about his face.

"Oh, this...this is not good~"

"Your Majesty, you..."

Yuan Wenshao was moved by emotion and reason, but it was very difficult to finally make sense.

Turning around and going to the court the next day, he even played a double act with Lao Zhao and took the initiative to propose the use of the money.

This excuse was so lofty that all the princes in the court had no excuse to object. It was just that the Minister of Household Affairs was a little dissatisfied. After all, a good windfall had grown wings and flown like this.

Yuan Wenshao was not without benefits. He returned home happily without taking the reward from the Queen.

Put the royal jade Ruyi into the warehouse, and then find the boring Hua Lan in the back garden.

"Madam, please quickly change into your imperial robes and enter the palace. Your officials have found a good job for you, so you won't be bored at home all day~"

"what?"

"Oh, the Empress and Princess Huan have summoned their wives to discuss setting up an orphanage in Beijing and other matters. They want you to go over and take care of it together~"

"Really?" Hua Lan jumped three feet high.

She had been doing nothing at home all day, but now she looked a little displeased with everyone, causing the two children to take a detour in fear when they saw their mother.

Because Hualan is not like other noble ladies, she has so many good friends, and she can usually play leaf cards for fun.

There are even eldest ladies in other mansions who will fight with some arrogant younger ladies, but the population of Earl Yongding's Mansion is simple, and there are only three younger ladies in the husband's house. They are so well-behaved all day long that it makes you feel embarrassed even if you want to find trouble. .

So I usually mostly chat with Lao Geng, Xiao Duan and other family members, or go back to my parents' house, but I think of my grandmother's warning when I went home yesterday, and I think it makes sense.

"Hua'er, my grandma is very happy to have you back at your parents' home, but although Brother Shao is considerate of you in every possible way, we can't be arrogant because you come back every day. If word spreads, it's easy for people to gossip. Even if you live in another house now, We live separately, but we must visit our parents-in-law from time to time!”

"I know grandma!"

Hua Lan was not as rebellious as Mo Lan, so she naturally agreed obediently, but the whole day was very boring.

I am happy to have something to do. Besides, going to the palace to see the Queen is not a privilege that everyone can have...
