Chapter 518 519 [Supervisory Grain Case]

After talking about the business, Qianlong looked up at the full moon in the sky, and suddenly thought of Du Xiaoyue.

"It would be great if Xiaoyue was here, and she could chat with us and relieve boredom." He said with a smile.

Du Xiaoyue has a bold personality, simple mind, innocent and cute, and is quite likable.

Most of the women in the palace were born as ladies, and they were taught the three obediences and four virtues, family rules and palace rules since they were young, and all of them were restrained like puppets. To be honest, they were really not as cute as Du Xiaoyue.

"Your Majesty!" Just as he was speaking, a person sprang out from the shadows, startling He Shen, and hurriedly opened his hands, took a step across, and protected Qianlong behind him.

But after he saw who was coming, he retreated resentfully, "Du Xiaoyue, you yelled in the middle of the night and startled Sheng Jia, what should you do?"

"I didn't do it on purpose. I was playing well, and I jumped out when the emperor called me." Du Xiaoyue giggled.

"Hey, it's okay, being frightened by her scares away the troubles." Qianlong laughed, "Xiaoyue, what were you playing just now?"

"I heard a cricket chirping in the courtyard. It was so loud that I was about to catch it." Du Xiaoyue laughed.

When Qianlong heard this, he laughed, "Xiaoyue, you are still at ease. I wish I could be as relaxed as you are."

"Your majesty, what are you worrying about?" Du Xiaoyue asked with concern when she heard this.

"There is trouble in the Northwest, and even I have to go there." He Shen explained.

Xiaoyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, "My lord, I'll go with you. I heard Mr. Ji said that the Northwest is fun, what [cattle and sheep are seen in the wind blowing grass], what [cantaloupe, kebabs] ..."

"We're going to fight, it's fun!" He Shen said speechlessly.

"War?! That would be more fun." Du Xiaoyue became even more excited when she heard this.

"Nonsense, is it fun to fight?! Besides, you are a woman, what are you going to do, be a military supervisor?" Qianlong laughed.

"Xiao Yue thanked Lord Long En, Your Majesty, you are not joking!" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue immediately hit the snake with the stick.

"Look, look, living in thatched cottage all day long, I can't learn from Ji Da Yandai." Qianlong complained, "Okay, you can go. But there are no jokes in the army, you are not allowed to mess around."

"But what if Mr. and I bully me?" Du Xiaoyue said quickly after hearing this.

Qianlong laughed, "I allow you to tell the story secretly. If he bullies you, you can sue me."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Du Xiaoyue suddenly became happy.

He Shen had a bitter look on his face.

...

study.

Xiang Nan was drafting an edict when Xiaoyue walked in bouncingly, "Sir, the emperor appointed me as a military supervisor and allowed me to go to the northwest to fight."

"Oh, okay, Xiaoyue, you are now an official." Xiang Nan said with a smile when he heard it, "However, fighting is not a joke. The firearms of Luocha soldiers are sharp, no matter how advanced your martial arts are, you will be beaten One shot is more dangerous than good, so we must be careful."

"Well, I see." Du Xiaoyue nodded, "I went to the northwest this time, and I just kept an eye on He Shen, letting him bully Xiang Yun before."

"Hey, after all, He Shen is the commander-in-chief of the army. You can't always fight against him. You still have to protect his safety. Otherwise, without a commander in the three armies, the Northwest will be in chaos.

In the face of foreign enemies, state affairs and the overall situation are the most important. "Xiang Nan exhorted.

To tidy up Heshen, there are many opportunities. But if the Northwest is in chaos, and the Western Regions, Ganzhou, Outer Mongolia, and Inner Mongolia are occupied by Rakshasa, then it will be troublesome.

"Yes, sir." Du Xiaoyue nodded.

"Ji Aiqing's words are justified!" Qianlong walked in with a smile and said, "We are ministers in the same hall, fighting for the same purpose, when foreign enemies are present, we have to defend against their insults together."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded, "I only hate that I am a civil servant. I don't know how to fight, and I don't know how to fight in the army. It's hard for the emperor to share his worries."

"Okay, you don't understand the matter of leading troops to fight, I don't blame you~" Qianlong laughed, "I have other tasks for you. Ji Xiaolan, help me keep an eye on Wang Danwang.

The case of grain supervision in Ganzhou has a long history, and he, the governor, must be involved. He also wanted to get rid of the crime by presenting "A Picture of Rising the River during the Qingming Festival", hmph, no way! "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Sir, what is the grain supervision case?" Xiaoyue asked curiously.

"Since ancient times, the land in Ganzhou has been barren and there have been famines every year. In order to relieve the disaster, the imperial court authorized the local wealthy households to donate grain in exchange for a quota of supervising students. The grain obtained is called supervising grain.

This was originally a good recipe for the imperial court to provide disaster relief, but the local officials took this opportunity to fill their own pockets, making the supervising grain exist in name only. "Xiang Nan explained.

"Hmph, the imperial court doesn't know how many supervisors have been sent out these years, but the people of Ganzhou are still hungry. Do these treacherous officials and thieves really think that my knives are rusting?" Qianlong slapped the case.

"But isn't Wang Quanwang the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang? What does the Ganzhou matter have to do with him?" Du Xiaoyue was puzzled again.

"He was the governor of Ganzhou before, and he was transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang just now." Xiang Nan explained.

"Oh, it turns out that the emperor is trying to divert the tiger away from the mountain." Du Xiaoyue suddenly realized.

"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?! At most it's just leading the snake out of the cave." Qianlong said disdainfully.

...

In the middle of the night, Xiang Nan, He Shen, and Du Xiaoyue left and went to the post house to rest.

As soon as he left the gate, Wang Danwang greeted him, "The two adults in the middle hall have worked hard. Wang has specially prepared a family banquet to clean up the dust for the two adults..."

"Master Wang, it's getting late now, so there's no need for it." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Hey, it's not too late, it's a little family feast. Please do honor me with your lord." Wang Danwang repeatedly asked to stay.

"Master He, look~" Xiang Nan looked at He Shen and said.

"Since Mr. Wang is so kind, let's go." He Shen smiled and said.

"Thank you, my lords, for your honor, please!" Wang Danwang immediately said with great joy.

The four of them rode sedan chairs all the way to the back garden of the government office, and saw a banquet table on the waterside pavilion by the lake.

On the song stage on the other side of the waterside pavilion, there are also opera singers babbling and singing, which seems to have taken a lot of effort.

After everyone was seated, they were chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Come on, miss, please come out and pay respects to the two adults." Seeing that everyone's faces were flushed, Wang Dan said with a smile.

"My lord, return the golden house to hide the beauty?" He Shen asked with a smile when he heard this.

"Hey, my lord is joking, Qing Lian is my adopted daughter." Wang Danwang said seriously.

While speaking, a woman with picturesque features and graceful temperament came lightly.

She is all in white, with a light gauze body, slightly crescent eyebrows, and light lotus steps, just like a hibiscus swaying in the breeze.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan and He Shen couldn't help being taken aback.

"Ah, it's her~" Du Xiaoyue was very surprised, and recognized this woman, who was selling paintings at the side of the West Lake that day.

"Master Wang, this is..." He Shen moved his index finger.

Looking at the beauties under the lights is more immortal than that by the West Lake, just like the people in the painting, so beautiful.

"This is the little girl Su Qinglian. Qinglian, I have met the two adults." Wang Danwang couldn't help saying proudly when he saw the expressions of He Shen and Xiang Nan.

Thank you book friend Mo Xueyiyun for the reward, thank you!
