Chapter 459: well prepared
Chapter 459 Prepared
She speaks beautifully, and people who don't know really think that she doesn't want her niece to marry.
Yang Xintong had to rely on his uncle and aunt to live, and secondly, he didn't dare to let himself bear the bad reputation of being ungrateful or even unfilial and disobedient, so he could only carefully plot for himself a little bit.
Xie Yuan's people have sorted out these situations in detail, so when An Lehou met Yang Xintong for the first time, he knew that she had the worst family background among the three girls who made him feel safe, and that she was related to her mother's family The relationship is also the weakest.
These contents are regarded as shortcomings for others, but for An Lehou, they are undoubtedly plus points.
After all, he doesn't need the support of his Yue family, he just needs a wife who won't arouse unnecessary fear and suspicion for him.
Of course, there is another point that is also very important.
Putting aside the balance of interests at the intellectual level, An Lehou felt sorry for Yang Xintong, who, like him, whose parents died early and grew up under the fence, experienced countless days and nights of trembling, and endured countless grievances that are inhumane. Has quite a strong emotional resonance.
He felt that he could understand Yang Xintong's compromise, and he also hoped that Yang Xintong would have the same understanding and recognition for him in the future.
He didn't tell Pei Huaiyu all these considerations, but he asked Pei Huaiyu to help secretly protect Yang Xintong.
He was afraid that Yang Xintong's aunt would attack Yang Xintong because Yang Xintong might break away from her control and take away the family's farm shop.
Pei Huaiyu readily agreed to send someone to protect Yang Xintong. He knew that An Lehou's concerns were not impossible to realize.
Having experienced the troubled times of cannibalism, Pei Huaiyu has learned to think as bad as possible.
In his opinion, the safest way to survive is to anticipate all bad possibilities, do your best to deal with them in advance, and then have the best expectations for the development of the situation.
The two of them negotiated the matter of An Lehou and the three girls choosing a day to see each other, and Pei Huaiyu personally sent An Lehou out of the Princess Mansion.
At the same time, Princess Zhaoqing on the other side was already in a good mood and talked about the four royal couples including her and Pei Huaiyu donating money to build roads.
With her cooperation, Ye Anlan, who rarely attended a banquet among female relatives, got enough time to encourage everyone to donate.
Because she grasped everyone's psychology of wanting to be famous, in the next few days, she used the monument of merit and virtue as bait to raise a large amount of materials from nobles, officials, aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, and squires.
These materials include wood, stone, grain, cloth, cotton, jewelry, jewelry, silver coins, etc. The total value is equivalent to more than 835,000 taels of silver.
With such a large sum of money, it is impossible to say that no one is envious. Many court officials who wanted to get a share of the pie, under the banner of caring for the country and the common people, suggested that Xie Yuan take the materials donated by everyone directly to the state treasury.
The national treasury is managed by the household department, and the officials of the household department have the opportunity to extend their hands when the money is put into the treasury.
The Ministry of Engineering can also do the work of building bridges and paving roads. As long as the project is completed, the management of the Ministry of Engineering can also take advantage of it.
In addition to these two departments that can justifiably extend their hands, the officials of the other four departments also look at the money with various itch.
However, unlike the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, which can take advantage of their position to take advantage of the margins and profit reasonably, the other four departments can only wait for the materials to enter the treasury, and then grind Xie Yuan to allow them to embezzle them first.
They had a good idea, but Ye Anlan never thought of giving these people a chance to slander her from the very beginning.
They suspected that she was enriching herself, so she showed the account book without saying a word, and let these thieves shouting for thieves to see it for themselves.
She bought all the materials for paving roads and bridges at the lowest price without any water added. The wages paid by her to the craftsmen and common people involved in paving roads and bridges were also at the lowest level in the market.
She carried boxes of her own account books to the Golden Luan Hall, and by the way, she also applied to Xie Yuan to compare her own account books with those of the Ministry of Industry.
Those officials from the Ministry of Industry who jumped out to make troubles were covered in white sweat from her fright. They were different from Ye Anlan. Their account books were not as clear as Ye Anlan's, and the prices they offered when purchasing materials were far worse than Ye Anlan's. Inexpensive, and the money given to the foreman is also much higher than the market average.
Because such mopping methods did not violate the law, and the advantages they took were within Xie Yuan's acceptable range, so Xie Yuan always turned a blind eye to their behaviors that harmed public welfare and personal interests.
But this kind of "turning a blind eye and closing one eye" requires that their petty actions have not been reported to Xie Yuan.
Now they want to cheat Ye Anlan, but Ye Anlan backhandedly pushed them into the big hole they had finally dug. .
Xie Yuan accepted Ye Anlan's invitation with a serious face while feeling emotional.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry and the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, who had been keeping their eyes on their noses and minds, said nothing, as if they didn't see the help from the right servant.
The two of them would rather be implicated, eat and die together, and don't want to be stupid and stand on the same front with You Shilang.
They couldn't figure it out, they were all colleagues of Ye Anlan for many years, why are some idiots always taking chances and thinking that they can bring down Ye Anlan?
Not to mention how many military exploits Ye Anlan has made for Daqi, how much she is trusted and valued by Xie Yuan, the founding emperor, or how cautious and thorough she is in doing things, and how dedicated she is to Daqi's laws Maintenance, just talking about her strange character who doesn't seek profit or fame, isn't she already doomed, isn't she born with many shortcomings that can be caught by others?
It is so whimsical that they want to rely on trumped-up charges to bring down a person who is dedicated to serving the country, the people and the king in their founding emperor of Daqi. This group of people really knows how to dream!
These two are not the only smart people in the court, other really smart people are like them, all of them just watch from the sidelines without saying a word, as if they suddenly practiced closed-mouth meditation collectively.
As for those guys who couldn't wait to jump out, who were stupid but still pretended to be smart, they were directly attacked by Ye Anlan with sufficient witnesses and physical evidence, and they were powerless to fight back.
Not only did they fail to scoop up the meat they were looking forward to, but Xie Yuan also made them spit it out twice as much as they had already eaten.
Those court officials who were eager to see Ye Anlan had a large amount of money in the account, but wisely did not take any action, did not know until this time that Ye Anlan had long been on guard against someone splashing dirty water on her.
She wrote down the source and whereabouts of every sum of money she spent on paving roads and building bridges. Not to mention, she even copied the details of the money she got from others instead of her own. One part to the original owner of the coin.
