Chapter 504 Prepare to close the net
After the space was upgraded to level four, food, cotton, medicinal materials and other items had to be planted every day. At the beginning, Ye Jintang felt that the space would definitely be upgraded in half a year at most. She was quite looking forward to it at that time, not knowing how amazing the level five space would be.
As a result, after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of upgrading the space.
The space was filled with food and huge silk cocoons in sacks. When Ye Jintang was upgrading to level 4, he felt that the space was big enough and sufficient.
But as time goes by, the space becomes less and less sufficient.
"Space, please upgrade it quickly. If you don't, I will have to build a warehouse in the palace. There is really no room for so many things."
After walking around the space, Ye Jintang became more and more upset. There were too many things stored in it, and her space was no longer beautiful.
What the imperial palace has the most is various secret passages, and there is naturally one in Wutong Palace.
The secret passage led to a relatively large house outside the palace. Ye Jintang ordered the house to be renovated immediately. One of the courtyards was built to look like a warehouse. Once the warehouse was built, she cleared the space.
Seeing the space restored to tidiness, she felt a little better.
It's just that she was in a good mood, and Qiao Yuan was about to cry.
The appearance of such a huge cargo in the capital city would be life-threatening if it were not to be transported to various workshops without being noticed.
Finally, for convenience, Ye Jintang also gave him a token. As long as he had this token, no one had the right to check all the goods on the carriage.
Around the autumn harvest, a large amount of grain seeds were transported out of the capital.
Ye Jintang wanted to replace all the grain seeds in the entire Tianqin Kingdom with those produced by her space within three years.
"Good news, Jintang. My people finally found evidence against Xiao Zhengde."
Xiao Mo strode excitedly into the inner hall with an account book in his hand, and what came into view was box after box of medical books.
"What are you doing?"
"I have sorted out all the medical books needed for the Medical Girls' School and reprinted them. Your Majesty, please take a look and see if they are okay."
Ye Jintang, who was in a good mood, took out a medical book from a wooden box and handed it to Xiao Mo for him to take a look.
The newly printed medical book smelled of ink. Xiao Mo opened a page and found that it actually had illustrations.
He remembered that previous medical books did not have illustrations, so Ye Jintang specially drew an atlas to use during lectures.
Now that these pictures are put directly into medical books, it will be easier for female medical apprentices to learn.
“How many copies did you print in total?”
"The first batch is conservatively estimated to be 5 units."
"Ah? Are you going to recruit so many female medical apprentices?"
Xiao Mo was shocked. He felt that Ye Jintang's medical school for girls didn't have many branches, so how could he suddenly print so many.
"It's only a matter of time. The red silk brocade made from the giant silk I have is already on sale. It won't be long before I'll have a large sum of money coming in. This money will be enough to open a medical school for girls."
"Your Majesty, you just said that you have found evidence of Xiao Zhengde's crimes. What is going on? Can we directly raid the Prince of Han's mansion now?"
"Someone saw Cui Lanwei living in the Han Palace."
"Ah? How did these two get together?"
Ye Jintang was so shocked that her brain almost shut down. She couldn't imagine how Xiao Zhengde and Cui Lanwei, two people who had nothing in common, could have any connection.
"I spent a lot of effort to investigate these two people. Otherwise, I would have dealt with Xiao Zhengde when something happened in Danyang Marquis' Mansion some time ago."
"Your Majesty, please tell me quickly, what is going on?"
"This is a long story, why don't you give me some benefits first."
Shamelessly Xiao Mo put his face close to Ye Jintang, and his meaning couldn't be clearer.
"Okay, how about this."
Ye Jintang's curiosity was aroused, and she was no longer reserved, giving Xiao Mo a big kiss on the cheek.
"This matter started when Cui Lanwei first came to the capital. That was many years ago. Cui Lanwei first became Xiao Zhengde's concubine, and then entered the palace to serve as a female official for Empress Dowager Deren."
"She even gave birth to a son for Xiao Zhengde."
"How is this possible? Empress Dowager Deren is not a fool. She would have carefully investigated Cui Lanwei's past before re-employing her. If she was Xiao Zhengde's concubine, how could she have employed her?"
Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Cui Lanwei and Xiao Zhengde are still quite capable. In addition, Cui Lanwei is from the Divine Doctor Valley, so it will be easy to hide it from the investigation of Empress Dowager Deren."
"They are all thousand-year-old foxes who are playing tricks."
Hearing this, Ye Jintang couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Cui Lanwei and Xiao Zhengde. They hid it so well that there was no sign at all before.
"How is the emperor going to use this as a breakthrough to deal with them? You can't charge them with harboring a female official from the previous dynasty, right?"
Xiao Zhengde is a prince, and it would not be easy to confiscate his property without a serious crime.
"Of course, we can't use Cui Lanwei as an excuse. She's not qualified."
Xiao Mo curled the corners of his lips and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
"Some time ago, I sent people to look for Cui Lanwei everywhere, wanting to see if Queen Mother Deren had any other money-making businesses outside. Guess how much private property I found out about her."
"The emperor is laughing so happily, so he must have a private fortune of at least one million taels of silver."
"As expected of my wife, I can't hide anything from you. Queen Mother Naruhito has more than 600 shops outside, most of which are silver shops and businesses. There are even some that specialize in lending money at high interest, and they lend the money at high interest to the government."
"Officials and businessmen are colluding. No wonder there is so much silver in the coffers of Empress Dowager Naruhito. It seems that a large part of it was obtained through fraud."
"How can you save so much money in just a dozen years if you do business properly?"
Ye Jintang herself is an excellent businessman, and she knows the twists and turns involved best. However, if she uses this as an excuse to deal with Xiao Zhengde, it seems that it is not enough.
At this time, Xiao Mo continued to say, "Xiao Zhengde used his status as a prince to secretly take away the private property left by Empress Dowager Deren. Just based on this, I can put him in jail."
"With Xiao Zhengde gone from the Han Palace, it would be too easy to interrogate Cui Lanwei to get something useful."
"Your Majesty, are you thinking about the truth pill?"
As soon as Xiao Mo's tail moved, Ye Jintang guessed what he was planning.
For a woman as powerful as Cui Lanwei, torture is unlikely to be effective. The best way is to use truth pills.
"I want to quickly pack up these irrelevant things. When the weather gets cooler in a few days, I will take you and the children to go hunting."
The capital city has been cleansed by Xiao Mo countless times, but with Xiao Zhengde around, he still doesn't feel safe taking Ye Jintang and the children out. Who knows if he will make a secret attack from behind.
Only when the capital was clean would he dare to take his favorite people out hunting.
"Okay, the kids are bored staying in the palace all day, it would be nice to take them out to play."
