There are mountains, rivers, and wolf kings

Chapter 263 Hate Iron Is Not Steel

Qian Jiang hurriedly said: "Young Mistress, Xiaohua is still young, so she can't be a waiter."

Haitang saw through his little thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I just want to find a playmate for my cousin, they are about the same age, maybe we can play together?"

Only then did Qian Jiang breathe a sigh of relief. It was his sister's blessing to be able to play with Miss Da. If the two could really become friends, it would be a kind of blessing to her in the future. I don't know what's interesting.

Seeing that Haitang sincerely wanted to help them, Qian Wangshi was very moved, thinking that Qian Jiang must take good care of the young master in the future.

Things here are almost done, Haitang still needs to go back to prepare, so she goes back first.

Qian Jiang originally wanted to keep them for dinner, but there was nothing at home, so he could only send them to the entrance of the village with a blushing face. When they returned, they did not take the mountain road, but walked along the main road, which was not too far. A lot of scenery is refreshing.

Dongsheng is not young anymore, it would be inappropriate to live with her husband again, Haitang is going to go back and re-arrange a yard for him, just in time to allocate a yard closer to him for Qian Jiang's family, and the newcomer The houses where the servants live must be tidied up.

Fortunately, when Haitang Garden was built, everything was done for Haitang, but now the house is enough, and the layout of Haitang Garden is quite good now, the middle is where she and Yongjia live, and Dongsheng Dongmei lives to the west of her , while the courtyards of the Gao family are concentrated in the east, and the houses of the servants are all concentrated at the foot of the mountain.

The part next to the mountain is still very empty, and if the house is built in the future, it will not look crowded.

Everything here is going smoothly for Li Haitang, and everything is developing in the expected direction in an orderly manner, but it is not so smooth for Gu Yongjia.

The new emperor hurriedly recruited Gu Yongjia into the palace the day before the late emperor's burial, firstly because he was a trustworthy person, and secondly because he was his dark thread, which had never been shown on the bright side.

Even if Gu Yongjia got married back then and he gave gifts, that was because of the friendship he had when he was young. No one would have thought that he was the one who quietly controlled the economic lifeline of the capital instead of the new emperor.

When the new emperor entered the hall for the first time, there was a lot of waste to be done, and money was needed everywhere, so those people with evil intentions also saw this point and made a fuss about money.

After the Chinese New Year, after the early court was resumed on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the need for funds for the morning court every day has not stopped.

During the period of the first emperor, the first emperor was licentious, and the harem was basically covered by concubine Liu, and the treasury was empty. If it weren't for the planning of the past few days, the new emperor might not be able to step down on the first day of the eighth day of the first lunar month.

After a few days, the new emperor successfully blocked the mouths of the people below with silver. Now those people woke up and began to investigate secretly.

This investigation made those people secretly startled.

I don't know when it started, an unknown force has almost controlled most of the economy in the capital, and then they began to investigate the major cities near the capital. The more they investigate, the more frightened they are. I believe it, unless the emperor secretly dug up a few gold mountains somewhere, and under their control, this kind of thing is impossible to exist.

If things go on like this, they just want to use their brains to trip the emperor, but they may not be able to touch the emperor's roots.

So, after some discussion, they decided to start from the root cause, and then launched a series of blows against Gu Yongjia's business.

Gu Yongjia originally planned to hand over all the business in his hands after the new emperor ascended the throne, so he hasn't paid much attention to those things recently. What's more, he is busy with sadness and jealousy every day, and he doesn't care about things over there. Therefore, the emperor In a hurry, a secret edict called him back to Beijing.

It wasn't Gu Yongjia who came forward before, so those people didn't pay attention to him. At this time, letting him come forward can just catch the other party by surprise. At this time, the emperor is not at ease if someone else comes forward.

However, Gu Yongjia had his concerns. He didn't want to be an official at all, and he never thought of standing in the public eye. Moreover, once he stood up, it might affect his family in the future.

It's not that he doesn't believe in the emperor, and he never felt that those people could make waves, but he knows that Haitang has always only wanted to live that kind of peaceful and indifferent pastoral life. If he stood on the bright side, that kind of life would be It is really beyond reach.

In the imperial study room, Gu Yongjia was in a stalemate with the emperor.

Lin Ziyue looked at Gu Yongjia who was standing below with a look of resentment, obviously he was a born man of court, sinister enough, cunning enough, and courageous enough, but he just had no ambition.

Such a person reassures the emperor, but it also makes it difficult for the emperor to control him, so even if he is in front of him at this moment, he can only stare at him, there is no other way.

"Yongjia, although I promised you before that you would retire after all your achievements, you have also seen that now is indeed not the best time, so you can't just let it go."

When there is no one else, the two always address each other by their first names, regardless of the courtesy of the monarch and his ministers. Although I don't know how long this original intention can last, at least for now, this balance has not been broken, and both of them enjoy the current situation very much. This kind of wanton and comfortable, without scruples.

Since there is no way to convince him, he can only take the route of saving the country with curves. There are not many people around him who can be trusted, and he is unwilling to just watch this outstanding talent go away.

"Zi Yue, I know what you're thinking. I'll handle this matter well, but you don't need to put me on the bright side to handle this matter. Haven't you already selected candidates before? Why did you suddenly change again? idea?"

"Those so-called aristocratic families want to take me out of the sky and let them manipulate me like the first emperor. Seeing that I don't cooperate and touch their interests, how can they let it go? At first they thought I was easy to manipulate, so they just turned a blind eye. Close your eyes, but now you are a little anxious, and you know that the person we selected is not bad, but in this kind of situation, he is still not as good as you."

"I don't care, I promised Haitang to live with her in the countryside."

Where in this world can people do things as they please?But Lin Ziyue only thought about it in his heart and didn't say it.

"Even if you want to leave, at least you have to accompany me to fight those old guys. Yesterday they told me that a village near Tongcheng was flooded and they asked me for money."

Gu Yongjia sneered: "It's winter now, and I have been speechless for several days. Where did the flood come from? Do you believe such things?"
