Jiang Yuesheng nodded, "I understand."
Then she asked: "Have you found out the reason for the failure in Jiang Heli's case?"
The man in black replied: "That day, I sent away the tourists in the wing in advance and sealed it off, but a lady sneaked in through the dog hole in the back wall and made a mistake."
Such a coincidence again! Jiang Yuesheng thought angrily, wasn't it true that someone was deliberately going against her?
"Which family does that lady belong to?"
"Your Highness, she is the cousin of the Minister of Household Affairs."
When Jiang Yuesheng heard the words Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, the face of a certain little guy appeared in Jiang Yuesheng's mind.
But now he was upset and asked angrily, "What's going on with the fish roll!"
Even if you don't cooperate with her, at least you can't cause her any trouble!
"By the way, has there been any movement between the Zhao family and that girl recently?" she asked after being annoyed for a while.
The man in black lowered his head and replied, "The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Lide, and the Minister of Punishment quietly left the city yesterday and stayed in a village more than 20 kilometers away from the city for a whole day before returning after dark.
The girl met the Sixth Prince at the restaurant the day before yesterday, but the two seemed to have broken up on bad terms. The Sixth Prince had a dark face when he came out. "
Hearing this, Jiang Yuesheng frowned.
What is the Zhao family doing? Could it be that Sun Leyao brought something modern to the Zhao family again?
She thought for a while and then told the man in black, "Tomorrow, find a few skilled people to explore the village and see what they are doing."
The man in black responded respectfully, "Yes."
Afterwards, Jiang Yuesheng jumped down from the chair and walked slowly to the table in front of the window. She opened the drawer with great effort. There were many exquisitely crafted jewelry and several heavy pieces of gold inside.
"You can use these to develop your power first."
She motioned to the man in black to take away the treasure from the drawer.
During this period, she received very few rewards. If those eight hundred taels had not been wasted, her current power would have grown even greater.
Jiang Yuesheng gets angry when he thinks about this.
At this time, the Zhao family was hated by her.
Zhao Lide sat on the main seat excitedly, his eyes red with excitement, "Sun Leyao, that gunpowder of yours is really a treasure! I put it in the earthen jar and ignited it according to the method you told me. The sound was like thunder, and the gunpowder was transparent to all steel. , it’s too powerful!”
He and the Minister of Justice stayed there all night and were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
Sun Leyao smiled sweetly, "It can also be used on bows and arrows. It does the most damage to people. Grandpa Zhao might as well test it on people."
Zhao Lide nodded quickly, "Yes, you are right, I will try it out of the city tomorrow!"
In the room, Sun Leyao could feel that her status had risen a lot because of these few words.
Only now did she realize the feeling of everything going smoothly in her previous life.
This is how a time-traveling woman should be treated!
The Zhao family now regards her as a member of the same boat and is not on guard against her, or in other words, there is no need to be on guard against her.
Zhao Lide looked excited, "Gunpowder must be produced in large quantities! It can be done without further delay."
His son Zhao Mingxuan said something embarrassing next to him, "But father, we don't have enough money and manpower."
Although the emperor found no traces of the Zhao family's involvement in the last sale of an official position, most of his rights were reduced by the way. All the Queen Mother's assets were confiscated and transferred to the treasury, and her people were also sent to the Imperial Temple.
The Zhao family is used to being extravagant and lustful, and the money they have may not be able to support large-scale production.
Zhao Lide was so proud just now, but now his face suddenly turned gloomy.
"It's all damned Yu Xiheng's fault! Even if you don't get a cent, you're still ruining people's wealth!"
Twenty years ago, when the person in charge of the household department was his student, he had no money!
Zhao Mingxuan is not as capable as his father. Now he only has a low-level position. There is a bitter look on his face. "Father, please stop scolding him. He won't die even if you scold him a thousand times. What do you think?" You can get the money however you want."
Zhao Lide glared at him angrily, and then said with a sinister expression: "If you want money, go to the richest place in Jiang State to get it."
After speaking, he asked Zhao Mingxuan, "Where is the richest place in Jiang State?"
Zhao Mingxuan didn't even think about it before he opened his mouth and answered, "Of course it's the Ministry of Household Affairs."
In a place that controls the lifeblood of a country's economy, the daily flow of water is endless, and there is no small amount of money coming in or going out.
Zhao Lide nodded, his voice was gloomy, and paired with his aged tone, it made people shudder.
"We can only get the money after it comes out of the Ministry of Finance."
Otherwise, even if all the people involved in this process are theirs, as long as the money doesn't come out, they won't be able to get a share.
Zhao Mingxuan was timid and was frightened and panicked when he heard that his father was planning to hit the household department.
"Father, you can't be greedy anymore. The emperor has been strict in investigating recently. Wen Ruoqi's head was moved to Tianmen Street and hung there!"
It was hung in the execution ground before, but later the emperor moved it to Tianjie Street, the only way to go to court every day. The purpose was to scare the monkeys and sound a warning to those with evil thoughts.
"To be honest, I am extremely scared every time I pass by." Zhao Mingxuan said in a low voice.
When Zhao Lide heard his worthless words, he wanted to beat him, "Why did I give birth to such a worthless thing like you! When we were alive, we suppressed him, but now that he is dead, can he still come to you?"
Zhao Mingxuan shrank when he was scolded. A man in his thirties has no courage, just like his son.
"Okay, I'll leave this to others tomorrow."
Zhao Mingxuan was still afraid, so he bravely reminded him, "Father, you must not be stupid at this moment!"
Zhao Lide glared at him, "Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"
He then summoned his confidants and told him, "Go to the Minister of Punishment tonight and ask him to secretly release a few of the executed prisoners from the Prison. Tomorrow, tell him that the Punishment Department is in disrepair and is in urgent need of repairs. Go to the Husbandry Department." Appropriations.”
After hearing this, Zhao Mingxuan asked, "Father, Yu Xiheng is extremely cautious, so I'm afraid he won't approve it."
After hearing this, Zhao Lide sneered, "If he doesn't dial the number tomorrow, he will release it tomorrow night. I'll ask him again the day after tomorrow. If he still doesn't dial the number, he will release it the day after tomorrow... Let's see if he persists longer or if he is imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishments. There are so many death row prisoners!”
Zhao Mingxuan's eyes lit up, and his admiration for his father reached its peak at this moment. He said like a dog, "It's you, father, who can defeat Yu Xiheng!"
"Shut up if you can't speak!" This is flattery slapped on the horse's leg.
Zhao Mingxuan laughed twice and asked another question that he was confused about, "But father, this alone is not enough! Even if he does dial it, it won't be too much."
Zhao Lide sneered, "Let's finish this matter first. I have other ideas for the rest. You can't become fat in one go, so you have to do it step by step, okay?"
