The daily life of the little princess of the royal group
Chapter 398: Making Money
"Oh, mother! My daughter is so tired!"
Mingyue was finally brought back by Zhizhi.
After all the running around along the way, plus having helped distribute food all afternoon, she could barely lift her little arms, and her two chubby little legs kept shaking.
"You." Jiang Mengrou hugged her in her arms with heartache, and scratched her nose again, "I told you to be good and come back with your mother, but you didn't listen and insisted on running off to join in the fun."
"Oh~ I also want to help with something~" Mingyue said coquettishly.
"Forget it. The room is already cleaned for you. Do you want to eat first or change clothes?"
"Let's change clothes first." Mingyue raised her arm and smelled it awkwardly.
I've been working hard this afternoon, and I've sweated a lot. I should take a shower, change clothes, and then have a nice meal.
Zhao Yunshan, his son and his two sons wanted to eat something first, but since their daughter/sister said so, they decided to go back to the yard and wash up.
There was a rare lack of conversation at the dinner table. Everyone was busy eating and the meal was finished very quickly.
"Burp~ I'm full~" Mingyue leaned back in the chair and touched her round belly.
She didn't dare eat too much along the way, for fear of having to go to the toilet or something, so today she ate to her heart's content.
Zhao Yunshan silently asked the maid to give him another bowl of rice, which he ate with some vegetable soup.
"Mother, the feeling of being hungry is so uncomfortable. I haven't eaten for just one afternoon, and I'm already starving. Just imagine how hard it must be for the people of Longcheng."
"Yes, so we can't waste every grain of food. After all, sometimes, some things that are within our reach may not be available to many people."
Listening to Jiang Mengrou's words, the picky eater Minghao silently picked up the vegetable leaves on the small plate in front of him and ate them.
It tasted just as bad as he had imagined, but the image of the old men and women who were so skinny that they were just a bag of bones emerged in his mind, so he swallowed it anyway.
Jiang Mengrou saw this and felt very relieved.
"By the way, where was the prefect from the past? That bastard who deceived his superiors and subordinates!" Mingyue asked while drinking digestive tea.
Zhao Yunshan knew about this.
In the afternoon, he stayed with the temporary prefect, distributing food and listening to his reports.
The temporary prefect Lu Sheng was just a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was the only son of Mr. Lu, whom Jiang Hetang once trusted the most.
He had taken great care of him since he was a child, and learned that he had passed the imperial examination and was assigned to be a prefect in his hometown.
After the original prefect of Longcheng was arrested, Lu Sheng immediately received a secret order to replace him and govern the entire Longcheng.
"Prefect Lu said that the original person and his family have been imprisoned, but his mansion has not been searched yet. We are waiting to check it out when we arrive. But people have been sent to guard it day and night." Zhao Yunshan told everyone what he knew.
Mingyue was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she was just greedy for this little bit of money?!
"Dad, when are we going to try this Master Qingtang?"
Zhao Yunshan rubbed his nose. He didn't want his daughter to get involved in such dirty business, so he thought of telling a little lie. "Well, uh, Dad doesn't understand this matter. Other officials have taken over."
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Mingyue understood after hearing this that her father didn't want her to be in charge.
"Oh fine."
This night can be said to be the most peaceful and warmest night of sleep for the people of Longcheng.
No more being unable to sleep because of hunger, no more worrying about whether or not you can find food the next day, no more worrying about a repeat of the cannibalism of decades ago...
A peaceful and stable life is coming back again.
But, once people have a full stomach, they will look for other things to do.
It's only been a few days and I've already heard some rumors.
"Hey, you know what? General Zhao only has the title of general. He came to Longcheng to do serious business and brought his female relatives with him. Tsk tsk, he is really a lustful person."
The man was dressed in rags, let's call him a ragtag man. He was leaning against the wall, picking his teeth and shouting for everyone to gather together.
"Hey, why did I hear it was his wife and daughter, Princess Yongle and our Great Zhou's Little Princess Fuxing?"
Some people don't believe it and firmly believe that Zhao Yunshan is a good person and would not do such a thing.
"Tsk, do you believe him? What's the status of a princess? What's the status of a county lady? How can she come to Longcheng?" The ragtag man said with disdain, "At most, she's just a concubine, brought to Longcheng for our enjoyment."
"Tsk tsk, this general is really blessed." Others echoed.
The ragtag man then whispered, "That day, I saw General Zhao's concubine coming to bring him food. She was wearing a veil, so I couldn't see her face clearly, but with her delicate hands and graceful figure, there was no way she could be the mother of three children!"
He described it so vividly that several smelly men began to have lustful thoughts in their minds.
"As expected of a rich man, he knows how to have fun!"
"In my next life, I want to be rich and marry a beautiful woman."
They talked more and more outrageously, from women to money.
"By the way, do you know how much he can make from our disaster relief funds?"
The rag-and-bone man thinks about all sorts of things all day long, and always fantasizes about what other people have in their hands, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.
"Ah? Can you still make some money?"
"Brother, you are a little naive." The rag-and-bone man shook his head and held up five fingers. "At least half of the silver."
Everyone thought about the day when Zhao Yunshan came to Longcheng. Those carts of grain, converted into silver, would have been worth at least several million taels.
If Zhao Yunshan is greedy for half...
It’s just a few hundred thousand taels of silver!
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
"Oh, it's still easier to make money as an official!"
"Why are you still pretending to be rich? When you become an official, you have everything. Money, beauties, people will give them to you!"
"It's just that I'm lucky, eh."
It seems that the lower the social status, the more men there are who like to criticize others, and they pretend to be very knowledgeable and correct.
Rumors on the streets are the easiest to spread.
So, less than half a month after arriving in Longcheng, a crowd gathered to surround Zhao Yunshan, protesting against his staying in Longcheng and demanding that he return the money he had embezzled.
