I actually traveled through time and became the richest woman

106--Chapter
"Floods in the Yellow River? What does this have to do with floods in the Yellow River?"

Concubine Jing asked Chu Jianguo.

Didn't the Yellow River flood cause Mu Chuqian and Mu Chucong to raise money separately?
The three-day period is for a period of time, and it will be fine to see who can raise more money at that time.

What does this have to do with the emperor giving Mu Chuqian the right to appoint and remove officials?

Concubine Jing couldn't connect these two things together.

"Whether it matters or not depends on how much money you want to donate to Mr. Lu recently."

The corners of Chu Jianguo's mouth turned up, looking confident.

"Mother and concubine, I think I know why."

Mu Chucong had a flash of inspiration and thought of the reason.

"Oh?"

Everyone came together, ready to listen to Mu Chucong's explanation.

"A few days ago, my son and my father suggested that wealthy businessmen in the imperial city should donate silver taels for disaster relief. But Mu Chuqian insisted that the officials of the imperial city also donate. I was thinking that I would not offend the officials and try not to offend them. .He is so lucky that he insists on lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot."

Mu Chucong sneered, then continued.

"Think about it, the annual salaries of imperial officials range from a few thousand taels to a few hundred taels. They also have to support their families and servants. How can there be so much silver to donate? Most officials are penniless people. I don't want my father-in-law to be like this, with a lot of money."

As he said that, Mu Chucong also symbolically praised Chu Jianguo.

When Chu Jianguo heard this, he smiled triumphantly.

"Prince Cong, that's absurd. It's also because of my wife that I can have a little extra money."

Chu Jianguo smiled honestly.

When he looked up at Liu Ruxuan, he found that Liu Ruxuan was warning him with his eyes.

He realized that he might have said the wrong thing.

"Father-in-law has a great family, how can ordinary people compare to it?"

Mu Chucong continued to praise.

"The eldest prince was joking."

Chu Jianguo smiled awkwardly.

Mu Chucong didn't continue to tease Chu Jianguo, but picked up the topic just now.

"So, if Mr. Lu donated a lot of silver taels, it is enough to explain. Father's move is nothing more than estimating that officials will donate a lot." Mu Chucong's words made everyone suddenly realize.

Such an explanation seems to make sense.

"So, what are we going to do?"

Chu Jiaojiao asked.

"Since father wants to let the second prince take the blame, then we will let him take the blame."

Mu Chucong had already made up his mind.

"Back the blame?"

Chu Jiaojiao asked puzzledly.

"You don't want to know so much."

Mu Chucong was a little impatient.

He felt that Chu Jiaojiao was always unable to keep up with his thoughts.

Very clumsy looking.

When he thought of Zeng Xiaoxiao being smart and nimble, while Chu Jiaojiao in front of him was rude and stupid, he couldn't help but get angry.

Even looking at Chu Jianguo and Liu Ruxuan, she couldn't help feeling angry.

Why did they bring up such a stupid daughter.

"Jiaojiao is ignorant, Lord Cong, don't be as knowledgeable as her."

Chu Jianguo hurriedly apologized, and then winked at Chu Jiaojiao.

Chu Jiaojiao, who was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, has never been wronged like this.

If she didn't like Mu Chucong, she would be furious.

She is a domineering young lady, and no one in the entire imperial city dares to provoke her.

Ever since she became Mu Chucong's concubine, Chu Jiaojiao has been cautious all day long.

Every day I think of ways to please Mu Chucong.

She has never been so patient with Concubine Jing.

Every day is not cooking soup, or sending all kinds of precious things.

Even his own mother was condescending to Concubine Jing.

"This king will not be as knowledgeable as her."

Mu Chucong glanced at Chu Jiaojiao, then said casually.

Seeing their daughter begging for perfection, Chu Jianguo and his wife felt uncomfortable.

Her daughter cried and shouted that the man she was going to marry had treated her like this.

Seeing this, Chu Jiaojiao stepped back cautiously.

It seems to be used to this.

There was no displeasure on her face, but a look of guilt.

Chu Jiaojiao has changed so much that Chu Jianguo and his wife did not expect it.

"Look, after getting married, is Jiaojiao more sensible?"

Concubine Jing couldn't help but praise and said.

Liu Ruxuan was slightly taken aback, not knowing what to answer better.

"Thank you, Concubine Mother, for your compliment."

Chu Jiaojiao nodded slightly, looking very flattering.

Jiaojiao, you go out first, I have something to discuss with my father-in-law.

After all, several people withdrew.

Only Chu Jianguo and Mu Chuqian were left in the study.

"Daughter, tell your mother, have you been wronged in Prince Cong's mansion?"

Liu Ruxuan combed Chu Jiaojiao's hair in her study.

Every stroke was soft.

For fear of hurting Chu Jiaojiao.

Wooden comb on beautiful black hair.

Comb down one by one.

"Mother, I haven't been wronged, it's fine."

"Your temper and personality have changed a lot now, and mother is very worried about you."

"My daughter just thinks that she had a bad personality before, but now that she has a family, she wants to change it."

Chu Jiaojiao also became soft-spoken, very similar to Princess Heshun.

"It seems that you have really grown up."

Seeing that she couldn't ask any questions, Liu Ruxuan could only give up.

Inside the study.

"Since the emperor intends to let the second prince spread such unwarranted news, let's make it more real."

"Oh? First prince, what's your opinion?"

Chu Jianguo looked at Mu Chucong as if he already had a plan in mind, so he asked.

"Father-in-law, I dare not take it for granted."

Mu Chucong was very humble in front of Chu Jianguo.

"We just need to let out some rumors, saying that those who donate a lot can get promoted. Then give some reminders to those who are obviously going to be promoted, and ask them to donate more. When they are promoted, they will naturally spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, At that time, we don't have to do anything, and naturally they will lose their hearts."

Mu Chucong sneered.

"Aren't Master Lu and Master Zhou the ones who got promoted recently?"

Chu Jianguo thought for a while and then said.

"Yes, as long as you wait for Mr. Lu to get promoted, go to Mr. Zhou to blow the wind. Mr. Zhou's promotion is a matter of time, and he trusts you the most. At that time, things about donations and promotions will be everywhere."

Thinking that Mu Chuqian would be hated by all the officials because of this incident, Mu Chucong instantly felt in a good mood.

From this point of view, Mu Chuqian can no longer be his hindrance.

The crown prince will definitely be his, and Zeng Xiaoxiao will also be in her pocket.

Chu Jianguo on the side agreed with his words.

"Okay, leave this to me."

Two people, you talk to me, it looks like they are discussing some important national affairs.

"Husband, father, drink tea."

Chu Jiaojiao came in with two cups of tea and carefully placed them on the table.

Chu Jianguo is still a little unaccustomed to seeing the former daughter of a thousand golds become so docile now.

"Daughter, Dad came over this time and brought you some beautiful clothes from the satin shop. You and your mother will go and see later, and try to see if you like it."

Chu Jianguo said to Chu Jiaojiao while drinking tea.

"Thank you dad!"

Chu Jiaojiao showed a happy smile.

At this moment, he felt that the innocent and lovely daughter he once had returned.

Chu Jiaojiao jumped and ran out.

Mu Chucong frowned.

"Uncle, my daughter, I need to trouble you to take care of her."

This sentence is the exhortation of an old father, and it is also the last wish of an old father.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, if Jiaojiao marries me, she will be mine, and I will naturally treat him well."

Mu Chucong said to Chu Jianguo with a smile.

It seemed to be a comforting word, but it was actually telling Chu Jianguo not to care about the affairs of their husband and wife.

Chu Jianguo naturally heard what Mu Chucong meant.

He smiled and didn't say anything more.

Just use sentence by sentence, well, well, to cover up something.

As long as they have the same goal, Chu Jianguo can bear it.
