Chapter 10: Emperor Liang personally arrives to thoroughly investigate the grain storage

The son of the noble family of the Xibo Marquis is aware of this

Du Tao was eating quietly with a calm expression on his face

What is this? Just an IOU, do you really think you can get money from me?

What is the object in the woman's hand

I want to eat that

This young man, are you selling grain and fodder

Lü Liang continued on, and before long, he arrived with Liang Long.

If you do not pay, it may lead to future repercussions, allowing others to take advantage of the situation

Du Xiang is unlikely to be involved; his son injured Ye family's eldest son, Ye Xiaoli, and also took the opportunity to extort one hundred thousand taels from Qi Tian and Ye Xiaoli, which does not suggest any signs of collusion

Wenhui, let's have some food

Du Wenhui's mother, Sun Xiaohui, is the daughter of Sun Qizhong, the largest salt merchant in the southern region

Just after breakfast, a figure dressed in ordinary clothes appeared at the door

Lü Liang bent his body even lower and said

The issue of food is greater than the heavens

At this moment, Qi Tian was embracing Yun Niang while eating.

Emperor Liang, constrained by his status, did not wish to stroll about the streets in person

I never expected to have recently struck a chord with the court.

The two individuals walked together to the stall of Qi Tian

Emperor Liang angrily struck the table, causing it to shake three times

Du Wenhui sat at the dining table, his heart feeling as heavy as if it were filled with lead

The implication is that it depends on whether Emperor Liang wishes to bypass Du Tao to handle this matter

You say he is stockpiling military supplies, what is he planning to do with them

One hundred thousand taels of silver is certainly not a small sum

This action is intended for him to be influenced by his surroundings, so that he may become a wise ruler in the future

Lü Liang whispered a few words

The advance of several individuals was suddenly obstructed, and Lü Liang immediately expressed his difficulty by saying

Dare to make a fortune from grain, or do it in front of Emperor Liang!

Upon hearing this, Du Tao let out a cold laugh twice, his face filled with disdain

Let us go and take Long'er out of the palace to have a look, so that he can see the disgraceful face of Qi Tian! Let this serve as a lesson for him to reflect on himself more in the future

Lü Liang immediately bowed in response

He is alive again... It seems like a false death, but that is not the most important thing. After this fellow came back to life, he began to sell off his assets and purchase provisions and cotton.

I do not know, Your Majesty

Father ... ... !

Of course, it was Yun Niang who fed it to him

Emperor Liang turned his head and looked at the person beside him, Lü Liang

In an instant, Emperor Liang contemplated numerous possibilities

Oh, what significant events have occurred recently

Having served as the Prime Minister for many years, he has weathered countless storms

Father, shall I go and take a look?

What does it mean to have died once? Such a significant matter, why was it not reported to me?

After seeing his foolish son nodding in apparent understanding, Du Tao continued to speak

Emperor Liang, standing across the street, squinted his eyes and scrutinized Qi Tian

Your Majesty

Your Majesty, it is that person

This is no longer just a matter of audacity; it is a complete and utter invitation to death

Upon emerging, he looked around with great curiosity at everything.

Good

You go take a look first

The thirteen-year-old Crown Prince Liang Long spends very little time outside the palace

Where is Du Tao? Is he playing dead? Or is he colluding with this little scoundrel to deceive the treasury of the Great Liang?

... ...

The eyes of Lüliang observed the abacus, inquiring at the entrance to the sky.

The old servant will prepare immediately

Despite the other party's efforts to conceal it, he still discerned that this individual was a eunuch

Du Wenhui was completely puzzled, as his father usually placed great importance on reputation

Aren't you the head of the finance department tomorrow? Please go to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow and write a consolidated report on the recent procurement of military rations and cotton.

Lüliang quickly stepped forward to bow

Your Majesty, the domestic situation is stable, but it seems that Qi Tian from the Xibo Hou family has died once.

Emperor Liang furrowed his brow slightly, his face filled with an expression of peculiarity

However, when it comes to his own child, Du Tao is completely at a loss.

Oh ... ...

Indeed, however, this matter falls under the jurisdiction of Minister Du, as you can see...

Fool! Who said I wouldn't give it? Is it not acceptable to give it later? Am I not allowed to gather the money? Do I have to teach you everything one by one?

Without a handle

Emperor Liang slightly turned his gaze, looking at the mountain of documents piled on the desk, and frowned slightly

He would not mention to Emperor Liang the matter of collecting supplies and delivering them to the border.

The servant does not dare to speak recklessly, but this action is likely to disrupt the prices of grain and cotton in the capital. It is said that they have already begun setting up stalls to sell goods outside today

Liang Long tugged at Lü Liang's sleeve and spoke up

He has been turned against!

Your Highness, we are going to capture someone, what does it mean for you to hold a candied hawthorn like this!

Without a word throughout the night, the next morning, the overall account from the Ministry of Revenue was handed over to the Grand Eunuch Lü Liang by the eunuch on duty.

Liang Long quickly walked back to the side of Emperor Liang

Seeing that her child could not eat, she picked up the chopsticks and helped him pick up some vegetables

Crown Prince Liang Long is only thirteen years old, and on ordinary days, he handles affairs and manages state matters, which Emperor Liang enjoys doing with him

Good

However, they were so frightened by the angry gaze of Emperor Liang that they dared not utter a word, and could only hold back their feelings as they arrived at the opposite side of Qi Tian's stall with a few others

With a raised eyebrow, Qi Tian

Hmm, really sweet, our family's light beauty is well-fed and delicious, and also quite clever

Is the Xibo Marquis about to arrive at the West Gate? How are the troops from Xiliang this year?

Du Wenhui was startled after being reprimanded

The morning court of the Great Liang Dynasty was held once every three days

Emperor Liang immediately understood Lü Liang's intention

On this day, the Du residence after nightfall appeared somewhat different from usual, exuding an extraordinary tranquility

It is almost here, Your Majesty. With the presence of the Xibo Marquis, Xiliang does not dare to invade!

Prince Liang Long was indeed staring wide-eyed in application

The death of a son will undoubtedly affect his mindset

One cannot let go of even the slightest concern in their heart! How can one achieve great things in the future!

Sometimes, even Du Wenhui cannot understand when I chew up and feed myself the skills I possess

When there were no court sessions, it was the time for Emperor Liang to handle the accumulated state affairs

The western front of the Xibo Marquis is of great importance

Upon seeing this, Du Tao let out a cold snort and said

No one can anger him, except for this foolish son

Although Du Wenhui did not know what Du Tao intended to do, he still nodded his head

Recently, does Xiguan not need provisions and cotton clothing for the winter

A trace of anger finally appeared on Du Tao's face

Father, but that one hundred thousand taels of silver...

Then you will be with Lv Liang

It is unclear when, but Qi Tian has been constantly praising his companion, and it seems much more pleasing to the eye.

Thinking of that one hundred thousand taels of silver, he did not dare to raise his head

Lüliang explained quickly

Qi Tian was supervising Yun Niang as she used the abacus.

Emperor Liang was taken aback for a moment, his brows furrowing tightly

Emperor Liang, with fury in his eyes, changed into a different outfit and left the palace with Lü Liang and Liang Long, accompanied by several hidden black-armored guards.

Lüliang was originally unaware; had it not been for the officials from the Ministry of Finance submitting the recent treasury consolidation report this morning, which recorded the largest expenditures.

What kind of nonsense is this

The documents are complex, and generally, Lü Liang reviews them first, assists Emperor Liang in extracting important information, reads them aloud to him once, and then proceeds to review them.

But father, does that not make us debtors?

As a eunuch serving the Liang Emperor, Lü Liang prepared the documents early in the morning, neatly arranging them on the desk in the imperial study

In the distance, Emperor Liang saw the abacus being manipulated by Yun Niang and curiously asked

Although Yun Niang, who was praised, did not speak, her cheeks flushed red
