The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

"His Majesty."

The chief eunuch came hurriedly and saw that Emperor Jianping looked unhappy, so he stood further away cautiously.

"Have you seen Prime Minister Gu?"

Emperor Jianping asked in a cold voice.

The eunuch lowered his head even lower: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Gu is not in the government office, nor in the prime minister's residence."

"Then where did he go?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jianping calmed down.

Gu Yanqing has always been a workaholic. Even Mu Xiu works in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why did he disappear today?

"This... this old servant doesn't know. Even the Prime Minister's Housekeeper Mu doesn't know where Prime Minister Gu went. He only said that he left early in the morning before dawn..."

"So weird?"

Emperor Jianping sat aside, his eyes flickering——

something wrong.

Gu Yanqing has been having problems lately.

Emperor Jianping was thinking secretly when he suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps, walking with the wind.

"Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Gu Yanqing, dressed in a crimson official robe, had already walked slowly into the hall.

Among all the civil and military officials in the court, Gu Yanqing was the only one who could enter the palace directly without being informed.

"Hey, Prime Minister Gu, are you willing to show up?"

Emperor Jianping raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yanqing with a sinister look on his face: "You are such a busy man, you even forgot my invitation?"

"I am terrified."

Gu Yanqing bowed slightly, his tone calm.

"You're so scared!"

Emperor Jianping glared at Gu Yanqing, then waved his hand vigorously, and the chief eunuch and the other palace maids all retreated respectfully.

"Tell me, what have you been up to lately?"

There were only two of them left in the hall, and Emperor Jianping's tone became more casual.

"I am doing my duty and working diligently every day. I dare not slack off at all." Gu Yanqing still looked calm.

"Keep pretending." Emperor Jianping rolled his eyes.

If he could beat Gu Yanqing, he would have to beat him up.

Seeing the frustrated look on Emperor Jianping's face, Gu Yanqing only smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Soon, there will be great news."

"What good news?" Emperor Jianping was stunned and looked at Gu Yanqing in surprise.

"Your Majesty will know in a moment." Gu Yanqing calmly found a seat and sat down.

Emperor Jianping was not angry. He had long been accustomed to this way of getting along, but... Gu Yanqing's mysterious look really made people uncomfortable.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, Minister of Works Liu Kun has an urgent matter to present to you!"

Ministry of Industry?

Emperor Jianping's eyes moved and he turned to look at Gu Yanqing, who just smiled at him.

"Let him in!" Emperor Jianping responded. Not long after, Liu Kun rushed into the hall. As soon as he entered, he slid down and knelt down, "Your Majesty, auspicious signs have been sent from heaven. May God bless Qingyun!"

Liu Kun's voice trembled with excitement.

This guy……

Gu Yanqing sat aside, pouted, and watched Liu Kun act quietly.

As Emperor Jianping listened to Liu Kun's story, his expression gradually changed.

"Your Majesty, the design of this curved plow should be primarily attributed to Lord Jiang from the Ministry of Works. I have brought him with me, and he is currently awaiting your orders outside!"

Liu Kun was a very smart man who knew how to handle current affairs. As he spoke, he quietly observed the reactions of Emperor Jianping and Gu Yanqing.

"Call him in!" Emperor Jianping spoke immediately.

Gu Yanqing beside him also nodded slightly at Liu Kun...

**

The appearance of the curved plow shocked the court and the public.

As expected, Liu Kun became famous because of this incident, and the former Minister of Works took the opportunity to retire and return home. Liu Kun was also directly promoted to the new Minister of Works because of this contribution.

A few days later, the imperial court quickly issued an official document, and the craftsmen under the Ministry of Works worked day and night to customize new curved plows for spring plowing in various places.

The people of Qingyun were overjoyed and excited, shouting "Your Majesty is wise and God bless Qingyun."

In this incident, the construction office where Jiang Chaosheng worked naturally made a great contribution. Everyone in the office was excited and happy.

It's the first time that a logistics department like theirs has been in the spotlight like this!

No. 32, Shingle Lane.

Jiang Jiang looked at the silks and satins and five hundred taels of silver His Majesty had bestowed upon him, and suddenly asked Jiang Chaosheng, "Brother, you should have been the first to achieve great success this time, but now you've only received this little reward. Do you feel bad?"

"No, I think it's great."

Jiang Chaosheng smiled brightly at Jiang Jiang: "I follow Prime Minister Gu not for fame and fortune, but to benefit the people, isn't it?"

Well, you still have a noble character!

Seeing that Jiang Chaosheng had no complaints, Jiang Jiang felt relieved.

In fact, this is a good thing. From now on, my brother will no longer be a rootless duckweed in the Ministry of Works, because from now on, he will be protected by Minister Liu Kun.

I have to say that this move was a beautiful one.

"By the way, choose two pieces of silk and find a tailor to make two new dresses. I'll send the rest back to Liuquan Lane for A'niang and Yunyue."

Jiang Chaosheng pointed to the silks and satins beside him. These silks with bright colors and intricate patterns were most suitable for making dresses for these women.

"Didn't I buy new clothes a few days ago? I don't want these anymore. I'll send them back to my mother and cousin." Jiang Jiang had no interest in these silks.

"By the way, where is this box of silver?"

Jiang Jiang looked at the five hundred taels of silver in front of him with shining eyes. Silver is a good thing!

In the past few days, with the help of Yan Chong, she has purchased the cotton stocks in the capital, spending a total of 1,083 taels.

just now……

Jiang Jiang was already extremely poor and could only save money by working hard to earn the ten taels of silver he earned from writing in his diary every day.

"You only have eyes for money, right?"

Jiang Chaosheng joked, then continued, "I have a day off tomorrow. Let's go to the bank to deposit the silver and exchange it for banknotes. Um... I'll leave it to you for safekeeping for now."

"Really?"

Jiang Jiang was stunned and looked at Jiang Chaosheng in disbelief.

"Of course it's true. Now there are only you and me at home. Don't you want to be a housekeeper?" Jiang Chaosheng looked at Jiang Jiang with a smile.

He knew his younger sister's personality very well. This girl had been a money-grubber since she was a child. Jiang Chaosheng was not worried at all about putting the banknote in Jiang Jiang's hands.

"What housekeeper? I'm here to help you manage your property. Don't worry, leave your property to me for financial management. I guarantee that you can double your profit in a few months." Jiang Jiang straightened up and promised with a solemn look on his face.

Still managing finances?

Jiang Chaosheng didn't take Jiang Jiang's words to heart and responded casually: "Okay, okay, I'll give you all the money. Just don't spend it all. I still want to save some money to get married."

"Hmm? Getting a wife?"

Jiang Jiang blinked and moved closer to Jiang Chaosheng: "Did Sister E'er write to you again? What did she say? Let me see it!"

"Go, go play somewhere else, you little kid, what do you know?"

Jiang Chaosheng's face turned serious and he waved his hand impatiently, wanting Jiang Jiang to leave quickly.

"Tsk, if you don't want to show it to me, then don't show it to me. I'm not a child anymore. I'll be coming of age in July."

Jiang Jiang curled her lips in disdain.

In the country of Qingyun, girls come of age at the age of sixteen, which is different from the ancient times in Jiang Jiang's previous life. Perhaps it is because the author of this novel world believes that sixteen is the best age for girls to come of age?

After all, in modern times, anyone who is over sixteen years old can be sentenced for any crime o(╯□╰)o,

Of course, Jiang Jiang would not commit any crime, she just wanted to work hard to make money.
