Domineering husband

Chapter 155

Li Qiao didn't know how Meng Yue communicated with the Seventh Prince, because he was busy again.

Sheng Hong, Sheng Jun, and his son still lived in Dingchun Garden, and did not move back to the palace because of this joke-like scheme.

The father and son didn't want to go back to the palace, so Li Qiao could only ride to Dingchun Garden before dawn.

He has now been promoted to a third-rank official and is the head of the household department, but Sheng Hong still let him be the contemporary pen.

However, Sheng Hong is a little more restrained than before, because he is now the head of the household department, and Sheng Hong has to arrange the work of the household department for him, so he can't let him be the head of the household department in vain.

Therefore, on the first day of work, at noon, Sheng Hong told him: "You go back after lunch, don't go home, go to the household department. You should look at the information of the household department first, and familiarize yourself with the affairs of the household department."

Li Buckwheat quickly responded.

As a newcomer, he really had to get acquainted with the daily affairs of the household department.

In the past, when the fifth prince was the head of the household department, he meddled in everything and everything. Now that it was his turn, he would naturally not meddle in order to avoid annoying people.

Therefore, he asked again: "My lord, besides this, what other business is this minister in charge of?" "

Huh? You, of course you are responsible for making money."

Sheng Hong said with a sigh: "Zhao Cun came back yesterday Yes, I brought back a lot of property, and together with the proceeds from the ransacking of Shengjing's house this time, I got a total of 50 million taels of property. But in such a big country, money is needed everywhere." "For

example Your salary, you have been promoted to a third-rank official, and you receive a monthly salary of 1,800 taels, and several thousand catties of grain. For me, how much pressure is this, how can I do without earning money?"

Li Qiao: "..."

He opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute.

Dasheng's wonderful salary, even if it were him, he would be under a lot of pressure.

As a third-rank official, he can receive 1,800 taels of silver every month, not to mention the third-rank and second-rank officials above him.

Among the officials in Dasheng, the highest salary can receive five thousand taels of silver a month, and there is also one thousand taels a month for the local magistrate.

Just think about it.

"There is also the forbidden army, one hundred thousand forbidden army, the monthly military salary is not a small amount of expenses, plus the need to subsidize the local garrison, the sum of these money is really a headache for me. So I wondered whether to change A change to the existing rules, but in the end it provoked the rebellion of that rebel Li Hao."

Sheng Hong sighed again as he spoke.

The fifth prince's plot against him this time was a big blow.

He thought he was a benevolent emperor who convinced others with his ability and personal charm. As a result, the fifth prince and his gang rebelled when they said they rebelled.

After several days, his anger has subsided.

But the whole person is listless.

well.

Li Qiao: "..."

Your Majesty, is this an emo?

After thinking for a while, he said, "My lord, Li Hao is selfish by nature. He only sees what he can't get, and doesn't think of what you can give at all. Why bother for such a white-eyed wolf? It's not worth it."

Hearing this, Sheng Hong glanced at him, and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, I won't mention it. The reason I asked you to go to the household department is to let you fill up Dasheng's money bag. You are good at business, so you should go to the household department. "

You should familiarize yourself with the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts first, and then see what needs to be changed, or if you have any good suggestions, in short, feel free to mention to me if you have any ideas, don't be afraid of offending others, as long as you don't offend me, no one can do anything to you ""

"Those who can do more work, Li Aiqing, Dasheng needs you, and the people need you."

Li Qiao: "..."

Sheng Hong hopes that he will be like the fifth prince, who will be involved in everything and everywhere.

Imagining the strange gazes of officials from various departments of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The pressure is huge.

The Household Department is in charge of Dasheng's fields, household registration, taxes and other matters related to money, grain, land and household registration. There are more than 20 departments in total, and it is the only popular department among the six departments that can compete with the Ministry of Officials.

Among the many departments of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the most important is the Twelve Departments.

There are twelve provinces in Dasheng, and the twelve departments correspond to the twelve provinces, and each department is responsible for the financial affairs of each province.

In addition, the household department also has a very important department: the minting department.

This department is considered to be jointly established with the Ministry of Industry, because it needs the technology of the Ministry of Industry.

In addition, the household department also has some small departments that are responsible for the daily government affairs of the household department and similar rice and bank offices.

As the head of the third rank, Li Qiao is second only to the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting and the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting. Therefore, he has a separate office in the Ministry of Accounting.

Although it was only a small gap, he was very satisfied. From now on, he could practice supernatural powers quietly behind closed doors.

Cao Taizhuo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was a serious person, and Li Qiao had little contact with him except when he was sorting out the booklets.

However, Li Qiao had a good impression of him in the limited contacts.

After all, he is the Minister of the Household Department, in charge of Dasheng's money bag, and he has passed the test no matter in terms of character or ability.

After Li Qiao went to the Ministry of Accounts to report, he relayed Sheng Hong's original words to Cao Taizhuo. Cao Taizhuo showed no signs of change on his face. The basic status of the department.

So, Li Qiao started to go to Dingchun Garden Contemporary Pen in the morning, and go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to read materials in the afternoon and practice supernatural abilities with one mind and two purposes.

He can check all the information on the Ministry of Households, the area of ​​cultivated land in each province, the taxation, population, and even the salaries of officials over the years. There are so many materials that pile up a large yard.

In order to get acquainted with the situation of the household department as soon as possible, he began to work overtime on his own initiative.

However, because Tao Zhu has been very close to him recently, he only works one hour of overtime, and must be home by six o'clock.

Tao Zhu was frightened by the fifth prince's treason. It's been almost half a month now, and he is still languid every day. As long as he is at home, he must be with him all the time.

When going to sleep at night, it is not too hot. The whole person will either lie on his body or be hugged tightly by him, otherwise he will not be able to fall asleep.

In the morning, when I sent him out to work, the door of the house was changed to the gate of the yard, with a look of reluctance on his face.

Tao Zhu even wanted to rent a few bodyguards from the Seventh Prince.

This naturally made him feel bad, and he scolded the fifth prince in his heart.

In order to make Tao Zhu happy, the day before Xiumu, he sent someone to Meng's house and invited Meng Yue over for a drink.

Meng Yue should know how miserable the fifth prince is now, right?

"He is now locked up in his Fifth Prince's Mansion. The Holy Majesty has converted all the large gardens and backyards of the Fifth Prince's Mansion into cultivated land. There are more than 30 acres of land in total. From now on, these 30 acres of land will be replaced by The Fifth Prince has cultivated the land himself, and the Holy Majesty will no longer provide him with food, he will grow it himself." " If he

doesn't grow it, he will starve to death."

Meng Yue was invited to come and sat on the table under the pomegranate tree, Smiling, he relayed the news he got from the Seventh Prince to Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.

"Ah? Are you really not going to give him food?"

Tao Zhu was surprised.

"I will definitely give it now. After all, the 30-odd acres of land have just been cleaned up, and he is also injured. When he recovers from his injuries and can work in the fields, he will have to rely on his work to get food." "This

... "

Tao Zhushui's eyes widened a little, he really didn't know how His Majesty treated the Fifth Prince like this.

Li Qiao didn't know either, his source of news was either Meng Yue or Xin Zhi, but the Imperial Academy was far away from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he was too busy, since Xin Zhi came to his house to congratulate him on his promotion, he never I met Xin Zhi.

Therefore, he did just know the current situation of the Fifth Prince.

"I hope the sage will not be soft-hearted." He said.

"Let's see, Concubine Dong Gui was demoted to a commoner and lived together in the Fifth Prince's Mansion. Dong's house was ransacked, and Lu's house was ransacked. No one can intercede for the Fifth Prince."

Meng Yue didn't know if Sheng Hong would soften his heart, but at least at the moment Sheng Hong was angry, and the fifth prince had to go down to the fields to experience the hardships of farmers.

"Your Majesty's treatment is quite good, indeed he should be punished like this."

Tao Zhu couldn't help but said.

He still remembered how the fifth prince forced the people to work for meritorious service during the flood.

Imagining the situation of the fifth prince in the future, he finally had a smile on his face.

Just at this moment, Li Xia led the two cubs into the side yard, one in each hand, and the two cubs were shouting loudly, Daddy, Daddy, with grievances on their little faces, so he stood up: "What are you talking about?" Let me go and have a look at Changfeng and Yunfan."

"I'll take a look too, Brother Meng, wait a minute, aren't they playing in the front yard?"

Li Qiao also stood up.

"I also hug Chang Feng. I haven't seen him for a few days. I want to pinch his little face." Meng Yue said with a smile.

Ever since he became interested in the Seventh Prince, he has paid much more attention to children than before.

Although there is no hope in sight now, this does not prevent him from getting close to the little baby.

The three of them came to Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan's two chubby friends, after hearing Li Xia's words, all three of them laughed.

It turned out that the two of them wanted to play with their eldest nephew Li Xiaorui, but now Li Xiaorui was learning how to read and was quite serious, so he didn't play with them as before, so they were unhappy.

"Xiao Rui is doing business. When he finishes his studies, he will come to play with you two."

Tao Zhu kissed their cheeks one by one: "Daddy will play with you."

"There are still too few children."

Li Qiao pinched the fat faces of the two of them as he spoke: "Why don't you both start to learn how to read?"

Tao Zhu couldn't help but look at him when he said this, "The two of them can't even speak together."

" I said it casually."

Li Qiao smiled, and then looked at Meng Yue: "Let Brother Zhu play with the two of them, let's go to the study." "

Success."

Meng Yue was reluctant to part with Li Changfeng again. The chubby friend squeezed his face, and then followed Li Qiao into the study.

He did have something to tell Li Qiao.

This was what the Seventh Prince asked him to relay.

Sitting down in the study, he carefully explained the reasons and consequences of the fifth prince's rebellion, and then said: "The seventh prince said that he and Mr. Zhou didn't know who sent them the news." "This person is too mysterious

. , although his news is correct, it's hard to say whether it's an enemy or a friend." After

hearing this long series of words, Li Qiao was shocked several times.

Is there a secret passage in Dingchun Garden?

Sheng Hong's real backer is actually Qian San? ? ?

Real people don't show their faces!

He really didn't think about Qian San before, not at all, Qian San is just a rich man with two dimples who looks very kind and harmless when he smiles. Of course, he knows that Qian San is kind and harmless. It's an illusion, it's divided.

But he never thought that Qian San was Sheng Hong's hole card!

No wonder Sheng Hong was not in a hurry, the master was by his side, he would not be in a hurry if it was him, he would also want to show what it means to be weak, pitiful and helpless.

However, obviously, the Fifth Prince didn't know either.

Realizing this, he couldn't help but marvel at Sheng Hong's secrecy work again, it's amazing!

What's more, Qian San's acting skills are quite superb, his panicked little expression is vivid, not losing to him at all.

But who is that mysterious man?

Subconsciously, Gao Zhiyuan's face appeared in his mind.

According to his deduction, Gao Zhiyuan was reborn, and Tao Zhu seemed to have seen Gao Zhiyuan when he went out to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival this year.

However, according to Tao Zhu, Gao Zhiyuan was dressed like a beggar at that time, and it has only been half a year since Gao Zhiyuan was able to deliver letters to the Seventh Prince and Master Zhou?

Coupled with Gao Zhiyuan's arrogant and stupid temperament, can he hide successfully without being found by the Seventh Prince and Lord Zhou?

Of course, it is also possible that Gao Zhiyuan took advantage of the convenience of his rebirth to climb the high branch, and it was this high branch that sent the news to the Seventh Prince and Master Zhou.

But...

Gao Zhiyuan's memory is too good, can he clearly remember when the fifth prince will rebel?

Could it be that in his previous life, Gao Zhiyuan passed the examination smoothly and settled in Shengjing?

Not right either.

If Gao Zhiyuan could fly up the branches by himself, why should he keep staring at Tao Zhu?

A person who won the Jinshi by himself in his previous life, will waste his studies and wander around the hills of Sanliu Village all day after rebirth?

Not quite logical!

Unless Tao Zhu's chance in his previous life was so great.

But even so, there is an even bigger unreasonable thing, that is, he was deprived of the title because of him in this life!

This is the direct cause of the fifth prince's rebellion.

In his previous life, without him being a time traveler, would the Fifth Prince rebel against him at this time?

If so, it would be a coincidence.

...

"Brother Li, are you finished digesting?" Meng Yue saw that Li Qiao's brows were tightly furrowed, and her sword eyebrows were furrowed. She hadn't spoken for a while, so she couldn't help but speak first.

This sound brought back Li Qiao's thoughts of running away.

"I haven't finished digesting, who is this mysterious person?"

"The Seventh Prince doesn't know either, but he thinks it's a little strange not to show up and only report the letter. For such a big matter, it shouldn't be normal for him to stand up and make contributions. Is it?"

"...The Seventh Prince is right."

Li Qiao was convinced.

He just deduced that Sheng Hong had someone behind him, so he hurriedly stood up and made contributions, lest it would be too late and he would lose his chance.

But it is really strange that this mysterious person is willing to give up such a great contribution.

"The Seventh Prince asked you to be careful and not to run around." Meng Yue said again.

"Understood."

Li Qiao nodded solemnly.

The matter is indeed full of doubts.

Meng Yue left after lunch, and Tao Zhu and Li Qiao took the cub back to the room for a lunch break. The hottest stage of midsummer has passed, and it will be autumn in two days, but the temperature is still a bit high. an ice basin.

While coaxing the two cubs to sleep, Li Qiao relayed Meng Yue's words to Tao Zhu.

Of course, he concealed the Seventh Prince's evaluation of this mysterious man, and only told the ins and outs of the Fifth Prince's rebellion, so as not to worry Tao Zhu.

Tao Zhu is like storytelling, really, although the Fifth Prince is stupid, there are still bright spots in the process. After listening to it, he sighed: "So, it was actually that mysterious person who ruined the Fifth Prince's plan?" "Even without

this Mysterious man, the Fifth Prince probably won't be able to succeed either, Shengshang Qian is in charge of this expert."

Li Qiao said as he patted Li Yunfan's little fat friend.

"I really didn't expect Mr. Qian to know kung fu. I didn't see it at all before."

Tao Zhu was still surprised, this was too similar to those chivalrous novels he read. It looked ordinary, but turned out to be a hidden master , it's incredible.

"This Shengjing is really Crouching Dragon Hidden Tiger. The great master Qian Guanguan, the mysterious person who spread the news, and the person who injured the Seventh Prince... Speaking of which, although the Fifth Prince is bad, at least he is bad on the bright side. You can see it at a glance." See through."

Li Qiao: "..."

He looked at Tao Zhu in surprise, the mysterious person who delivered the news, the person who injured the Seventh Prince?

He hadn't put the two together before, but now that Tao Zhu said it together, he somehow felt weird.

Shengjing really hides so many talented people?

"What's wrong with you?" Tao Zhu tilted his head, was there something wrong with what he just said?

"It's been a long time since I thought of the person who wounded the Seventh Prince. Now that you've said it, I'm wondering if this person played any role in the Fifth Prince's rebellion." Li Qiaoyin turned away from the mysterious person, not

thinking Let Tao Zhu worry, only talk about the person who injured the Seventh Prince.

"This... who knows. But since the Seventh Prince is fine now, it shouldn't be a big problem." "

That's right. Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Li Qiao shook his head and looked down at Li Yunfan. Fat friend, and then said: "There are indeed few children of the same age in the family, only Xiaorui can play with them, why don't we take Yuning and Yu'an over?" "The third sister hasn't been to Shengjing yet

. "

In fact, Li Chuntao and Zhang Tian were born the best, because Li Chuntao's son Zhang Xiaobao is only two months older than the two cubs.

However, Li Chuntao is pregnant again this year, so she will not be able to come to Shengjing in a short time.

"Yuning, Yu'an and Xiaolan have all reached the age of marriage. Ask the elder brother, sister-in-law and third sister for their opinions. If they are willing, then they will bring the three children."

Tao Zhu said.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, all three children have grown up.

Now that Li Qiao has been promoted to an official position and has gained a firm foothold in the capital, he can take over people from his hometown.

Although he and Li Qiao didn't know many people at this time, when they came to Shengjing, the range of choices for the three children was definitely wider than in Pingcheng.

Li Qiao also had this intention, but since the two cubs are asleep, it's time for their husband and wife to sleep too.

The family letter will be written in the evening.

Lie down on the kang, Tao Zhu lay on Li Qiao as usual, Li Qiao hugged him with both hands, kissed him first, and then got ready to sleep.

Li Qiao's sleep was always good, but when his consciousness was fuzzy, Tao Zhu in his arms suddenly laughed.

Um?

He opened his eyes involuntarily, raised his hand and patted Tao Zhu's back lightly: "Brother Zhu?

" I started to pray for you at night and in the morning, hoping that the Fifth Prince would die soon, but I never thought he would be."

Tao Zhu's tone was full of joy that had not been seen for a long time, and his persistence was useful!

"...Is there still such a thing?" Li Qiao pretended to be ignorant, and then said with a moved face: "Brother Zhu, you have done too much for me.

" Pray quietly."

The more Tao Zhu thought about it, the happier he lifted his cheek from Li Qiao's neck, and seeing Li Qiao's bright eyes looking at him, he couldn't help but leaned forward and kissed Li Qiao deeply on the lips. a mouthful.

After kissing and preparing to leave, seeing Li Qiao still looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help kissing Li Qiao's eyelids again.

This relationship was a bit out of control, he loved Li Qiao very much, now he was happy in his heart, and Li Qiao looked at him nicely, he couldn't help but hold Li Qiao's cheeks, and caressed on Li Qiao's face kissed.

Li Qiao was tickled by his kiss, turned over and pressed him under him.

The next thing is naturally to be dry wood and fire, even if there is a kid lying on the side, it can't stop the couple from wanting to get closer to each other.

After messing around during the day, Tao Zhu, who had been listless for a long time, finally regained his former spirit.

However, he has new plans.

He was still worried about Li Qiao, although he said that there were several nursing homes in his family, but the number of them was too small, Shengjing was crouching, what if something happened to affect Li Qiao in the future?

There are escort agencies in the chivalrous novels he read, or maybe his family also opened an escort agency?

The main purpose of this bodyguard agency is to protect Li Qiao and take away the bodyguards along the way.

Every time the Han family's caravan escorted his family's banknotes into Beijing, they hired an escort agency to accompany them for protection. In this case, it might as well be his own escort agency.

Li Qiao never expected that Tao Zhu would want to start an escort agency, he was a little dumbfounded.

However, what Tao Zhu said also made sense.

When the Han family caravan escorted his family's banknotes into Beijing, even with the protection of the bodyguard bureau, they were terrified along the way.

After all, his family's silver is not a small amount.

Hmm... How about doing some logistics.

The author has something to say:
