He couldn't sit still and left immediately.
Seeing him in a hurry, Li Qiao could not help but praise him again in her heart. Meng Yue was indeed a good match for the Seventh Prince.
I hope these two people can achieve positive results.

The author has something to say:
Chapter 155 Who is the mysterious person? Li Qiao joins the household department
Li Qiao didn't know how Meng Yue communicated with the Seventh Prince, because he was busy again.
The father and son Sheng Hong and Sheng Jun still lived in Dingchun Garden and did not move back to the palace because of this joke-like rebellion.
The father and son did not want to return to the palace, so Li Qiao could only do what he had done before, riding 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 asked him to act as his pen.
However, Sheng Hong is a little more restrained than before, because he is now the head of the household department. Sheng Hong has to arrange the work of the household department for him, and he cannot be allowed to have a false reputation as the head of the household department.
Therefore, at noon on the first day of work, Sheng Hong told him: "Go back after lunch. Don't go home. Go to the Ministry of Accounts. You first look at the information of the Ministry of Accounts and become familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Accounts."
Li Qiao quickly responded.
When he first arrived, he really had to get familiar with the daily affairs of the household department.
In the past, when the fifth prince was the head of the Household Department, he had a hand in everything. Now that it was his turn, he would naturally not mix in blindly to avoid being annoying.
Therefore, he asked again: "Your Majesty, apart from this, what specific affairs are we ministers responsible for?"
"Huh? You, of course you are responsible for making money."
Sheng Hong said and sighed: "Zhao Cun came back yesterday and brought back a lot of property. Together with the proceeds from Sheng Jing's house confiscation this time, I got a total of property worth up to 50 million taels of silver. But in such a big country, Money is needed everywhere.”
"Take your salary as an example. You were promoted to a third-rank official and received a monthly salary of 1,800 taels, as well as several thousand kilograms of grain. For me, this is a lot of pressure. How can I do it without making money?"
Li Qiao: "..."
He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute.
With Dasheng's extraordinary salary, even if it were him, he would be under great pressure.
He, a third-rank official, can receive one thousand eight hundred taels of silver every month, let alone the third-rank and second-rank officials above him.
Among the officials in Dasheng, the one with the highest salary can receive 5,000 taels of silver per month, and the local magistrate can also receive 1,000 taels of silver per month.
Just thinking about it makes me dizzy.
"There are also forbidden troops, one hundred thousand forbidden troops. The monthly military salary is a big expense. In addition, we need to subsidize the local garrison. All these money combined really give me a headache. So I thought about whether to change The existing rules were violated, but the result was that the traitor Li Hao rebelled."
Sheng Hong sighed again as he spoke.
This time the fifth prince's conspiracy against him was a big blow to him.
He considered himself a benevolent emperor who convinced others with his ability and personal charm. As a result, the fifth prince and his gang rebelled as soon as they said they were rebelling. They did not give him any face, but they were full of loopholes and disgraced the Sheng family.
Several days had passed and his anger had subsided.
But the whole person was wilted.
well.
Li Qiao: "..."
Holy shit, is this emo?
After thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, Li Hao is naturally selfish. He only sees what he can't get and doesn't think about what you have given him. Why bother with 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, let's not mention it. I asked you to go to the Household Department just because I want you to fill Dasheng's money bag. You are good at doing business, so you should go to the Household Department. "
"You should first familiarize yourself with the affairs of the Household Department, and then see where changes need to be made, or if you have any good suggestions. In short, if you have any ideas, feel free to mention them to me. Don't be afraid of offending others. As long as you don't offend me, no one can do anything to you. "
"Those who are capable work hard, Li Aiqing, Dasheng needs you, and the people need you."
Li Qiao: "..."
Sheng Hong hoped that he would be like the fifth prince and have a hand in everything.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath as he imagined the strange looks from the officials of various departments of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It’s a lot of pressure.
The Household Department is in charge of everything related to money, food, land and household registration in Dasheng. It has more than 20 departments and is the only popular department among the six departments that can compete with the Personnel Department.
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 ministries correspond to the twelve provinces. Each ministry is responsible for the financial affairs of each province.
In addition, the Household Department also has a very important department: the Money Making Department.
This department is jointly opened with the Ministry of Industry, because it requires the use of the technology of the Ministry of Industry.
In addition, the Ministry of Accounts also has some small departments that are responsible for the daily government affairs of the Ministry of Accounts and other small departments such as the Banking Department.
Li Qiao, as the third-rank official, was second only to the Minister of Hubu and the Minister of Hubu in the Ministry of Hubu. Therefore, he had a separate office in the Ministry of Hubu.
Although it was only a small space, he was very satisfied. From now on, he could practice his powers quietly behind closed doors.
Cao Taizhuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, was an unsmiling person. Li Qiao had almost no interaction with him except when he was sorting the folds.
However, in the limited contact with him, Li Qiao had a good impression of him.
After all, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, in charge of Dasheng's money bag, and he is of good character and ability.
After Li Qiao went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to report, he conveyed Sheng Hong's original words to Cao Taizhuo. Cao Taizhuo showed no signs of color on his face and cooperated very cooperatively by calling a clerk to accompany him to the database of the Ministry of Household Affairs to check the households. The basic current situation of the department.
So, Li Qiao started to go to Dingchun Garden to write in the morning, and in the afternoon to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to read information and practice his special abilities at the same time.
He could check all the information posted on the front page of the Ministry of Household Affairs, including the cultivated land area of each province, taxes and population over the years, and even the salaries of officials. There was so much information that it filled a large yard.
In order to familiarize himself with the situation of the household department as soon as possible, he began to take the initiative to work overtime.
However, because Tao Zhu has been so attached to him recently, he only works overtime for an hour and must be home at six o'clock.
Tao Zhu was frightened by the fifth prince's rebellion. It has been almost half a month now, and he is still wilting every day. As long as he is at home, he must be with him all the time.
When I go to bed at night, I don't feel too hot. I either lie on top of him or be held tightly in his arms, otherwise I can't sleep.
When I sent him off to work in the morning, I changed the route from the door of the house to the gate of the courtyard, with a look of reluctance on his face.
Tao Zhu even wanted to rent some personal guards from the Seventh Prince.
This naturally made him feel very distressed, and he scolded the fifth prince in his heart.
In order to make Tao Zhu happy, he sent someone to Meng's house the day before Xiu Mu and invited Meng Yue to come over for a drink.
Meng Yue should know how miserable the fifth prince is now, right?
"He is now imprisoned in his Fifth Prince's Mansion. The Holy Emperor has converted all the large gardens and backyards of the Fifth Prince's Mansion into cultivated land, totaling more than thirty acres. From now on, these thirty acres of land will be used by The fifth prince has done the farming himself, and the Holy Father will no longer provide him with food. He will grow whatever he wants to eat."
“If you don’t plant, you will starve to death.”
Meng Yue came upon the invitation, sat on the table under the pomegranate tree, and relayed the news she had learned from the seventh prince to Li Qiao and Tao Zhu with a smile.
"Ah? Are you really not going to give him food?"
Tao Zhu was surprised.
"I will definitely give it now. After all, we have just cleared out more than 30 acres of land, and he is also injured. Once he recovers from his injuries and can work in the fields, he will have to rely on his work to receive food."
"this……"
Tao Zhushui's eyes widened a bit. He really didn't know what the Holy Lord's treatment of the fifth prince was like.
Li Qiao didn't know either. His source of information was either Meng Yue or Xin Zhi. However, the Hanlin Academy and the Ministry of Revenue were far away, and he was too busy. Since that day when Xin Zhi came to his home to congratulate him on his promotion, he had never seen him again. I met Xin Zhi.
Therefore, he had indeed just learned about the current situation of the fifth prince.
"I hope your Majesty will not be soft-hearted," he said.
"Let's see, Concubine Dong was demoted to a commoner and lived together in the fifth prince's house. The Dong family was confiscated and the Lu family was confiscated. No one can intercede for the fifth prince."
Meng Yue didn't know if Sheng Hong would be soft-hearted, but at least Sheng Hong was angry for now, and the fifth prince had to go to the fields to experience the hardships of farmers.
"Your Majesty, this is a good treatment. He should indeed be punished like this."
Tao Zhu couldn't help but said.
He still remembered how the fifth prince forced the people to work in order to perform meritorious deeds during the flood.
Imagine the future situation of the fifth prince, and he finally had a smile on his face.
At this time, Li Xia led two little cubs into the side yard, one in each hand. The two little cubs were shouting loudly, daddy, daddy. There were still grievances on their little faces, so he stood up and said, "You guys talk?" Come on, let me go see Changfeng and Yunfan."
"I'll take a look too. Brother Meng, wait a minute. Aren't they two playing in the front yard?"
Li Qiao also stood up.
"I also hug Changfeng. I haven't seen him for a few days and I want to squeeze his little face." Meng Yue said with a smile.
Ever since he became interested in the Seventh Prince, he paid much more attention to the children than before.
Although there is no hope now, it does not stop him from getting close to the little baby.
The three people came to two chubby friends, Li Changfeng and Li Yunfan. After listening to Li Xia's words, the three of them laughed.
It turned out that they wanted to play with their eldest nephew Li Xiaorui, but now Li Xiaorui was learning 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 studying, he will come to play with you two."
Tao Zhu kissed their faces one by one and said, "Dad, I will play with you."
"There are still too few children."
Li Qiao pinched their chubby cheeks as he spoke: "How about you two start to learn to read too?"
As soon as these words came out, Tao Zhu couldn't help but look at him: "They both can't even speak clearly."
"I just said it casually."
Li Qiao smiled, then looked at Meng Yue: "Let Brother Zhu play with the two of them, and let's go to the study."
