The Regent's Tender Darling

"Xuemei, go back home." Lin Jiaojiao was no longer in the mood to stay in the liquor store. She had to go back quickly to inform Yan Sihan of this situation so that she could find out.

After returning to the mansion, she heard from the guard at the door that Yan Sihan had already returned. She took Yao Guanglai into the mansion and did not stop her when they arrived at Minghuaxuan.

Entering the study, Yao Guanglai knelt down when he saw the person behind the desk: "The common people pay homage to the regent."

Yan Sihan did not correct the memorial today, but read the book. He felt a little strange when he saw the visitor.

"Your Highness." Lin Jiaojiao walked quickly to Yan Sihan, and then said to Yao Guanglai, who was kneeling in front of him, "Get up and speak."

After Yao Guanglai talked from beginning to end, Yan Sihan's face became darker and darker.

If what Yao Guanglai said is true, then the beams that were originally replaced were poplar wood. This poplar wood is soft and easy to break, especially when Thirteen found out that those burned as firewood were all old poplar wood.

This old poplar wood is even more fragile. Jia Granary is a storage granary built to the highest standards. According to the standards, golden nanmu should be used as the beams.

The price of this piece of golden nanmu is about two thousand taels of gold, while the price of a piece of poplar wood is less than five taels of silver. This old poplar wood is even cheaper.

Jia Granary designed four warehouses, A, B, C and D, each of which is divided into twenty-four warehouses. Each warehouse uses twelve beams. The market price of each piece of golden nanmu is about two thousand taels of gold, but it costs about three thousand taels of labor and freight to be transported to the capital.

The entire Jia Cang was just a beam, so the imperial court allocated five million taels of gold. If poplar wood was used instead of golden nanmu, the beams of Jia Cang could be built with a few thousand taels of silver.

Yan Sihan looked at Yao Guanglai, and then said: "Here comes someone."

…

——Shuanghuaju.

Lin Jiaojiao felt unwell and came back first. Yan Sihan had already sent someone to check on the beggar, and sent Thirteen again to Jia Granary to investigate secretly.

But she discovered a benefit here.

These beggars can actually know so many things, and the things these people know cannot even be found out by the Department of Internal Health.

If she integrated all these people, wouldn't it be an intelligence organization spread throughout the city?

Of course, this is just her current thought, and someone still has to go and investigate these beggars first.

"Your Majesty?" Xuemei called her several times in succession, but there was still no response from Lin Jiaojiao, so she couldn't help but raise her voice a little louder.

Lin Jiaojiao came back to her senses, looked at Xuemei, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xuemei brought over the tray that had been placed on the table and said, "Red dates and barley soup, Miss Qing Xing sent it."

"Leave it alone." She obviously had no appetite.

Now that we have decided to take the wine shop as the beginning of our development, we will develop with the wine shop as the center.

At the same time, she also thought of a problem. Since she could think of integrating beggars, there was no guarantee that no one else would take the lead.

Thinking of this, her abdomen felt sore again, and this soreness directly interrupted all her thoughts.

"Xuemei, I want to take a nap, you go down."

Xuemei saw something wrong with her expression and guessed what was wrong, so she advised, "Mother, please drink the soup while it's hot. It will make you feel better."

Seeing this, she did not refuse. The red date and coix seed soup had the unique sweetness of red dates, and there was also a little bit of the sourness of the red date meat. It tasted warm to the stomach.

She suddenly remembered the brown sugar bean paste cakes she used to eat. She didn't feel so uncomfortable after eating them in the past, so she said, "Xuemei, go out and buy me a pack of brown sugar bean paste cakes from the one next to the vegetable market."
