Eunuch gently collected all the debris on Jiang Yanchuan's desk, and then Eunuch Changshun gently laid out a painting on it.

It is a Topographic Map that depicts Lin Residence's surrounding terrain in extremely detailed detail.

Jiang Yanchuan raised his hand and clicked on several places. "Guji sent people to buy all these houses."

His purpose is very straightforward.

The purpose of these houses is to monitor the actions of Fang Yiwan. If she is willing to live peacefully in a corner, then he can be safe on his own.

If she is really as ambitious as Fang Siwan said, then the people living in these houses will be the first hurdle in her way.

He just wants to ensure that the little guy's life goes smoothly.

The surrounding courtiers' breath froze.

The several houses pointed out by Emperor Mingze are not connected, and in some directions, not even a single available house is marked.

It was obviously purchased in a hurry under unexpected circumstances.

It has only been a little more than an hour since New Year’s Banquet ended, but Emperor Mingze has already arranged the follow-up matters so vigorously and resolutely after finding out the truth of the matter!

Duke Wang, who was racking his brains at home and only came up with the idea of resigning and returning home and taking the little one with him, lowered his head.

After returning home, Lu Yao didn't even bother to interrogate the few people who were escorted to prison today. He only made a pamphlet and hurriedly entered the palace. Lu Yao looked away.

Kan Ruifeng coughed twice.

Jiao Hongmiao touched the tip of his nose.

There were varying degrees of embarrassment on everyone's faces. Jiang Yanchuan had a clear view of these little actions, but he pointed out a few more as if he hadn't seen them before -

"These rooms, Estate Agency, the people there said they can only be rented (rented), and they can only negotiate with the landlord in person tomorrow."

Since this matter is to be carried out privately, it cannot be forced to sell in the name of imperial power. It is precisely for this reason that the matter has been delayed until now.

The people on the innermost side bowed their hands with complicated expressions and silently retreated behind the crowd, allowing those behind to come forward and watch.

The second group of officials approached with curiosity on their faces.

Just one glance and everyone gasped!

Among the densely packed houses painted on the scroll, triangular or circular patterns marked Cinnabar Brush are firmly in the center. Circles represent that the property has been purchased, while triangles represent that it has yet to be negotiated.

Everyone was blinded by the circular logo that was almost connected into one piece. They felt that the circle did not look like it was outlined by Cinnabar Brush, but rather like it was made by melting pieces of gold ingots and dipping it with Wolf-Hair Brush!

The houses in that area are famous for their high value. Emperor Mingze immediately purchased one of them, and he didn't plan to stop yet...

How much does this cost!!

The second group of officials retreated in silence, while colleagues from the periphery stepped forward to watch.

Then, the previous process was repeated.

There is only one exception in the whole process--

Virtue-Returning General Lei Zhixin is straightforward. "Your Majesty, are you so rich?!"

As soon as these words came out, Imperial Study immediately fell into an even weirder silence than before, and everyone's breathing became much softer unconsciously.

The civil and military officials looked at the only silly roe deer colleague in the palace with toothache on their faces, but in their hearts they somewhat agreed with what he said.

Emperor Mingze is not greedy for pleasure.

Since he came to the throne, except for a few palaces that have been briefly repaired due to various problems, the Great Rui Palace has basically maintained its appearance when Late Emperor was in power.

Emperor Mingze is not extravagant or wasteful on weekdays, but he often rewards meritorious ministers and often uses money from his private treasury to subsidize military supplies. Therefore, although he is the king of a country, the courtiers know very well that he is not as wealthy as Ruler in other countries.

Nowadays, so many properties are suddenly purchased...

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Minister of Revenue Jiao Hongmiao behind the crowd. The flashing light in his eyes could be understood as--

Have you been robbed?

If so, just blink!

Jiao Hongmiao:"..."

Xie Yao, he was also shocked.

Jiang Yanchuan turned his head expressionlessly, glanced at Lei Zhixin across from him, and then raised the corners of his lips slightly as if he thought of something funny, "Gu Ye suddenly appeared a few days ago."

Thinking of the Gold Mountain Silver Mountain in the Side Chamber room below Cold Palace, I also remembered the cunning look of the little guy when he was tricking people. Jiang Yanchuan lowered his head slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips deepened a little.

Suddenly--

A Purse that was not bulging appeared in the field of vision.

Jiang Yanchuan couldn't restrain his expression for a while. When he raised his head, there was still confusion in his eyes that had not faded away.

"Hey, the financial power of my family is in the hands of my wife. I will give my wife some advice when I get back." Lei Zhixin scratched his head in embarrassment, "It is a matter of Little Highness's life, and I should contribute."

This sentence opened up a new way of thinking for everyone. After being stunned for a moment, they all started to collect valuable items from their bodies with a look of enlightenment!

A small mountain immediately formed on top of the table.

Jiang Yanchuan showed such an expression for the first time in his life in front of all the civil and military officials.

Five points of surprise, three points of stunnedness, and two points of consideration--

The ministers probably didn't even have time to change their clothes after returning home, so they trapped themselves in the study room and racked their brains to think of a way for the little guy to get out of sin.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials were dressed exactly the same as when they attended the banquet.

In order to give the envoys the impression of Great Rui's strong national power, they all wore the most valuable items possible. The Purses on their waists contained all of their private money.

Now these things all fall on his Writing Desk.

Moving his eyes further, he saw the small Purse on everyone's waist.

Lei Zhixin covered him as if facing a formidable enemy. "This won't work, this is New Year's Day's gift from Little Highness to me!"

How precious!

Only they Upright Officials have!!

Jiang Yanchuan:"..."

Jiang Yanchuan's lips trembled, and just as he was about to ask them to take back their respective Purse, he saw several slender hands stretching out from the side, each holding a pile of jewelry, which were placed directly on the "hill".

Queen Kan Nianzhen stood in the center of the team. She was in a happy mood and smiled very beautifully, "I still have a lot of jewelry in the concubine's palace. I will send someone to deliver them all later."

"There is also one in the concubine's palace!"

"I, my concubine, will go back and get it now!"

Zhang Yanli's face, which is always calm on weekdays, finally showed its due beauty today.

Jiang Yanchuan:"..."

He slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Gu--"

A man from the palace trotted in in a hurry. This time, his steps were not as light as before, and his expression was a little anxious, successfully interrupting Jiang Yanchuan's words.

Eunuch Changshun saw this and took a few steps forward to greet him.

The two soon came together to whisper.

Then, Eunuch Changshun said stiffly, shocked, and loudly. "What?!!"
