During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

"After demolishing and rebuilding, these inferior bricks will be sent to the new brick factory to be reused, and the Ministry of Industry will provide the money."

Manager Wu glanced at a few people, followed them with his head raised, stopped three steps away from Jiang Miao, and followed step by step.

Jiang Miao walked to the newly built house and gently poked the wall with her hand.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Manager Wu felt that the wall seemed to shake just now.

Jiang Miao retracted her hand in embarrassment. Facing the scary eyes of the craftsmen on the side, she coughed lightly and said, "Let's go take a look elsewhere."

"Yes."

After walking around the nursery, Jiang Miao was a little tired, and it was time for lunch.

She didn't leave either and sent someone to get some food from Xi Daying next door.

The cook of Xi Daying did not expect that one day the Queen would be able to eat the food he cooked, and he seemed as happy as anything.

The soldiers on the side couldn't help but remind them, "As long as you make food, we can eat it. How can the queen, who is so noble and noble, eat it?"

The cook felt a little worried when he heard this.

Jiang Miao was eating the steamed bun with a normal expression, but Manager Wu who was not far away choked and couldn't eat anymore and complained: "Is this for human consumption?"

"Why isn't it for human consumption?" Jiang Miao asked slowly.

Manager Wu was immediately startled. When he looked at the remaining half of the steamed bun in the Queen's hand, he quickly slapped himself.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I was just talking unintentionally. It's just that the people in Xi'an Camp are too unruly. How could I give this kind of food to my Majesty?"

"We are the latecomers. If people are willing to give us a bite of food, you should not be picky. Besides, it's not very bad."

As she spoke, Jiang Miao put the coarse grain steamed bun into her mouth, but it got stuck when she swallowed it.

Lan Shui quickly gave her a sip of water, "My dear, please slow down."

Jiang Miao finally swallowed it. Seeing that Manager Wu was still staring at her, she suddenly became a little unhappy and said, "Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly."

"Yes."

Manager Wu felt like he was being pardoned. He didn't care if the coarse-grain steamed buns were irritating his throat. He took a few random bites, chewed them twice and swallowed them.

But it got stuck in my throat.

Manager Wu pointed to his throat in pain, while the little eunuch beside him was at a loss as to what to do.

Jiang Miao couldn't stand it anymore and asked Lan Shui to help.

Lan Shui walked up behind Manager Wu and slapped him hard, "Ahem..."

Manager Wu's eyes widened in pain, and he finally vomited out the coarse grain bun stuck in his throat, gasping for air like a fish that had been short of water.

Jiang Miao did not expect that the food in the West Camp was so bad, and the food was so rough that it was difficult for them to eat. What about the soldiers in the military camp?

Besides, eating this kind of food for a long time is not good for your health!

Lan Shui asked: "Mother, do you still want to eat?"

Jiang Miao didn't really want to eat it, but looking at the soldiers not far away, she felt that it would be bad not to eat, so she ate it bravely.

The Queen and Lady ate it, and naturally the other palace people had to eat it too.

After finally finishing eating, everyone's expressions were not very good.

Jiang Miao rubbed her belly and whispered to Lan Shui: "Remind me later to ask the Ministry of Industry for a few grinding plates. I don't want the children to eat such food all the time."

Lan Shui's lips slowly opened in an arc, and her tone was gentle, "Mother, it's a blessing for the children to meet you." Wotou, who was looked down upon by Manager Wu, was unknown food in the eyes of the soldiers of the West Camp.

Almost everyone had one as soon as it was served, and it was quickly gone.

"Brother Hai, Brother Hai, the Queen has eaten all the food cooked by the kitchen."

Zheng Dahai swallowed a large piece of whole grain steamed bread with a painful look on his face, and ignored the pain of his throat and said, "Did you see with your own eyes that the Queen and the Queen ate them all?"

"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes."

"Impossible. Are you sure that the Queen and the Queen eat the same food as us?"

"I am sure."

Zheng Dahai's eyes swayed and he sighed: "I thought the Queen would not be able to eat what we ate, but I didn't expect that she actually ate it."

"Brother Hai, this is normal. The Queen is originally a peasant girl. She may not have enough to eat when she was a child. Other nobles may not be used to these things, but the Queen may not be used to it."

Zheng Dahai said: "Even if the empress was used to eating, now that she is a queen and eats delicacies every day, how can she still eat steamed buns?"

The soldier next to him slowed down in eating.

"Forget it."

Officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs returned to the Sixth Ministry without eating.

Wu Shangshu clasped his hands behind his back and hummed a tune, thinking about the meal His Majesty invited him to eat, and he still had some unfinished thoughts. As a result, he heard that the person in charge of the nursery from the Ministry of Revenue was driven back.

He was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground.

He hurried back to the household department and asked as soon as he entered the door, "What's going on? Why were you driven back? Did you do something wrong and the Queen discovered it?"

"Sir, you can't blame me for this. If you want to blame it, blame the people in the Ministry of Industry for being too greedy."

Wu Shangshu was confused after hearing this, and after repeated questioning, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue revealed the truth.

Wu Shang's bookishness exploded on the spot, "How dare you embezzle the Queen's money? It's not a shame."

"Sir, it was the people from the Ministry of Industry who wanted to get some benefits from it, but I just turned a blind eye. How could I have known that I would be discovered so quickly."

Wu Shangshu raised his forehead and asked, "Is there water in your head? Although His Majesty has left the matter of the nursery to the Queen, how could His Majesty not send someone to keep an eye on it? That is to say, the Queen is kind-hearted and did not make the matter a big deal. Otherwise, once people from the Supervision Department intervene, do you think you can run away?"

Once His Majesty is angered, everyone will lose their heads, even the household department will not be able to escape.

Do you really think His Majesty is very relieved about Liubu?

The Ministry of Household official hesitated and said, "No way, isn't it just a small nursery?"

Wu Shangshu was so angry that he didn't want to speak, "Do you think it's as simple as just a small nursery? In other words, the nursery is to take in homeless children. Are you greedy for this money?"

"The Queen, is there anything else you can say?"

"The empress only said that the official should come back to find the master and someone else should go there."

Wu Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the empress was not really angry with Hu Bu. If she had really offended her, Hu Bu would probably not get any good results in the future.

Wu Shangshu re-selected honest officials.

Similarly, Huo Shangshu also chose honest officials after understanding what happened.

Not only that, he also personally went to the nursery to apologize to the Queen in person.
