The morning three days later.

The sun is warm and the breeze is blowing. It is another rare good weather.

Qin Huaidao taught the family how to brew beer in the backyard. During the past three days, he taught the family how to brew liquor and make barbecue during the day. In the evening, he taught everyone how to sing with the guitar and drums he made. He lived a relaxed life and listened to the music from time to time.

Report on the sales of the shop, this is the life you want.

Beer brewing is not difficult. You select malt, crush it, add water to mash it, filter it, add sugar and hops to boil, soak and precipitate the sugar, filter the wort, cool it, and then add yeast to ferment it. When it matures, it becomes beer. The most difficult part is

Hops, but a lot of them were shipped last year.

The brewing equipment was made of oak for better results, and oak was more expensive. In order to have a sip of good beer, Qin Huaidao didn't care. He handed over the drawings to the craftsmen in the house and selected a few trustworthy women in the house to teach the technology. He had already learned how to brew liquor.

It's so thorough and you learn quickly.

As he was teaching, the guard responsible for guarding the door hurried over: "Young Master, someone is coming from the palace."

"In the palace?"

Qin Huaidao was a little surprised. He didn't know many people when he came back, and he had stayed at home these past few days. Why would the palace send people to look for him? He quickly left the house, and when he came to the gate, he saw it was Wang De and hurried forward:

"Eunuch Wang, why do you have time to come here?"

"Master Qin, your Majesty has invited you."

"Your Majesty, do you know something?" Qin Huaidao asked curiously.

Wang De looked around and said in a low voice: "The court meetings have become extremely noisy. Someone accused you of not going to court for many times, minding your own private affairs, sitting on a corpse, and treating the court's laws as if they were nothing."

"Who raised the head?" Qin Huaidao's face darkened.

"Mr. Xiao Yu, Mr. Xiao."

Qin Huaidao's eyes narrowed. In his memory, there was a conflict over the Tubo marriage. Is this revenge? Hearing Wang De's urging, he didn't have time to think too much, so he hurried back to his hometown to change into his official uniform, and followed Wang De in a hurry, thinking about countermeasures.

The DPRK did violate the laws of the court. Li Er could pretend not to know if no one complained, but it was different if someone did.

As for doing private work, regardless of official duties, this is indeed the case in the past three days. Sitting on a corpse meal is a bit too much. How many people in the imperial court are sitting on a corpse meal and not doing their jobs? Since someone makes this argument, the worst is to die together.

Thinking all the way, he arrived at Taiji Palace unknowingly. It was already past the time for the court meeting, but the courtiers were still there. The court meeting was delayed, the court was delayed, and there was a lot of commotion. Qin Huaidao glanced at it, and with confidence in his heart, he passed through the courtiers and moved forward.

When he came to the imperial steps, he saluted and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Qin Li, see you before your Majesty."

Li Er nodded, not angry but proud.

Qin Huaidao didn't say much. He looked around and didn't know where he was. The third-rank officials were standing near the front. But Qin Huaidao had never been to the court meeting. He didn't know. He was about to go to the military general. After all, he was concerned about protecting the country.

Dukes, generals, and dukes are all in the first row, so you can just stop anywhere and there's nothing wrong with it.

A sarcastic laugh rang out: "Master Qin, can't you find your place? It's an anecdote for the ages."

Qin Huaidao looked back and saw that it was Xiao Yu. He was old but seemed to be in good spirits. This guy was considered a veteran of two dynasties. Due to his impatient and narrow-minded personality, he had been dismissed four times and finally returned to the court. Li Er

We are also preparing to re-activate it. What will happen at this critical moment?

"Why, what I said is wrong? A dignified third-rank official, but he repeatedly fails to go to court and regards the court's laws as nothing. How can he behave like this?" Xiao Yu's voice became a bit colder.

"What do you want?" Qin Huaidao took a step back and decided to take a look before talking.

Xiao Yu did not reply, but stepped out from the crowd, bowed to Li Er on the imperial steps, and said: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Mr. Qin of the Ministry of Communications for ignoring court affairs, focusing on private affairs, and eating corpses, which is against the law.

Repeated failure to go to court has created a bad atmosphere. This case cannot be repeated. In order to clean up the court and maintain the law, he should be dismissed and investigated. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, the court will not go to court and the ministers will not obey."

These words are hidden and full of threats. If he is not dismissed from office and investigated, many people will follow suit and fail to come to court, and the court will be dismissed in disguise, and the court will not be able to operate effectively.

They are all human beings, and they can tell at a glance. They all looked at Xiao Yu, saying that this impeachment was a bit harsh.

Cheng Yaojin exploded on the spot and was about to refute when Li Jing pulled him back and signaled him to calm down.

In court battles, the generals were always led by Li Jing. Suddenly, everyone thought of Qin Huaidao's past imposing manner in fighting with all parties in the court and his ability to unreasonably stir up trouble. They all calmed down and looked at him coldly.

The main hall became quiet and a little more depressing.

Li Er also looked at Qin Huaidao, hesitating to speak. After all, he was the emperor of the dynasty. He couldn't end it personally. It would be unfair, and he didn't expect the generals with big muscles in their brains to come out to help. He looked at Fang Xuanling, the leader of the civil servants.

Ling nodded secretly knowingly and was about to go out.

At this time, Qin Huaidao came to Xiao Yu and asked: "Master Xiao, do you mean to dismiss me?"

"Those who do not follow the laws of the imperial court should be dismissed in order to rectify the imperial court." Xiao Yu said coldly, with full momentum.

Qin Huaidao was happy when he heard this, and he bowed and said: "Then thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Yu was shocked. Why was the script different? Shouldn't they be sarcastic? At the very least, they should argue with reason. What's Xie's approach?

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were also stunned, but they actually thanked him. Does this mean they don't want to be an official?

However, Li Er had a premonition that there was something evil behind Qin Huaidao's back, and his heart calmed down. He thought of Qin Huaidao's messy and arrogant ways in the past, and did not say anything. He sat upright and prepared to watch the show, with a little more anticipation in his eyes.

Qin Huaidao didn't want to fight back at all, but really wanted to take the opportunity to remove him from office and become a free and easy prince. Wouldn't it be nice for him? After saluting Li Er solemnly, he said: "Your Majesty, I don't agree with the crimes listed by Master Xiao, but I agree with Xiao.

Your Majesty’s proposal of impeachment, please also ask your Majesty to arrange for someone to take over the road construction.”

Li Er became angry as soon as he heard this. This was not a counterattack. He was clearly taking the opportunity to show off his provocation, so he scolded him a few words. Suddenly he saw Li Jing's coming eyes, and his heart moved, and he said: "Master Xiao, this happened because of you, so it should be done

If you end it, why not leave this road construction matter to you?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will bow with all my heart, fulfill my duties, and do my best." Xiao Yu said loudly, with an unnoticed glint flashing in his slightly condensed eyes.

Qin Huaidao also said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission. I will immediately arrange for someone to pass the order and recall all the people in the house. The relevant matters will be handed over, which will not affect Mr. Xiao's takeover."

"Then thank you Master Qin." Xiao Yu said with satisfaction.

"As it should be!" Qin Huaidao said nonchalantly, taking off his official hat, holding it in both hands, and continued: "Your Majesty, Huaidao begs to resign."

Li Er wanted to rush down and kick Qin Huaidao's family while others climbed up. Why is this guy so unwilling to be an official? Of course he won't really be dismissed. He said in a deep voice: "Why are you panic? My border town is still waiting for you to reinforce it."

, it’s okay not to build roads, but to reinforce the city.”

"This..." Qin Huaidao said depressedly: "Your Majesty, I have been exhausted mentally and physically recently and am exhausted. I urgently need a good rest. Why don't you let me rest at home for a while?"

Li Er was too lazy to answer and wanted to rest. He had no choice but to look at Xiao Yu and said, "Master Xiao, Master Qin had issued a military order to build the road. If he failed to repair it, he would lose his head. What do you think, Master Xiao?"

Qin Huaidao was a little confused. Has he issued a military order?

Suddenly, Qin Huaidao realized that Li Er was going to dig a hole to bury someone, and became furious with Xiao Yu. He left in no hurry, and looked at Xiao Yu with a bit of pity in his eyes, but he didn't point it out.

Xiao Yu didn't know about the military order, but the Holy Spirit had already opened his mouth and it was not easy to question him, so he bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, I also wish that the military order is it."

"Then I'm relieved." Li Er smiled with satisfaction, looked at Qin Huaidao and continued: "Master Qin, how much money has been invested in building the road?"

When Qin Huaidao heard this, he immediately realized that he was preparing to rip off the money, and immediately said: "Back to the Holy Spirit, we have already invested one million guan in the early stage, and we need to pay another 500,000 guan tomorrow. It is estimated that the total investment will be 2.5 million guan."

Seeing Qin Huaidao's tacit understanding, Li Er smiled with satisfaction: "Master Qin has worked hard, and the total cost is half a million less than what the Ministry of Revenue estimated. Tang Aiqing from the Ministry of Revenue, am I right?"

Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stepped out from the crowd and said loudly: "Returning to the Holy Spirit, the Ministry of Revenue estimates that three million strings are indeed needed."

Qin Huaidao looked at Tang Jian with some surprise. Just now he was just talking nonsense and shouting out prices. If the budget was increased, it would only be 1.5 million guan. In the end, it might not exceed 1 million guan. There is no need for 3 million guan.

How did the Ministry of Accounts calculate it? Or is it that the estimated cost is different?

Yes, cement!

The cost of building the road yourself is no more than labor, and the military salary of 20,000 yuan is low. The rest is to buy sand, freight, and the common people's wages. But if the court does it, it will need to increase cement expenditure, but it is not right, and it will not require additional cement.

Three million, there is something weird behind this.

Qin Huaidao sensed that something was wrong. He looked at Xiao Yu and then at Tang Jian. They were both enemies. Li Er originally wanted to marry Yu Zhang off to Tang Jian's son, but in the end he gave it to himself. Will he join forces with Xiao Yu?

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao decided to fight back. He cupped his hands towards Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, I have already invested one million guan. As for the 50 guans that need to be paid tomorrow, I don't care. Since I have quit building the road, I still ask your Majesty to make the final decision and refund it."

If you give me one million yuan, your family will be unable to open the door."

"It's okay to embarrass you." Li Er said and looked at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu realized something was wrong and was about to say something, but Li Er said first: "Since Mr. Xiao has taken over the road construction, please send this million string to Mr. Qin."

"This -" Xiao Yu was a little confused. One million guan is not 10,000 guan. The entire Tang Dynasty could not afford much. The key is why you should do it yourself? He quickly said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court should not build roads.

If you want to withdraw money, why should I pay for it? This is against the law."

"Lord Qin built the road out of his own pocket. Why, when it's your turn to build the road, the court will pay for it?" Li Er asked coldly, his eyes shining with unparalleled majesty.

Xiao Yu was a little dumbfounded, the script was wrong.

Tang Jian suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, the road belongs to the imperial court. Since the imperial court is building the road, the imperial court should provide the money. The Ministry of Household Affairs still has several million guan of silver, so it can free up one million guan."

"No!"

Fang Xuanling knew that it was time for him to take action, so he stepped forward and said loudly: "Master Qin is obviously willing to provide money privately to build roads for the court, why should the Ministry of Household Affairs provide money to increase the expenditure of the court? A few million dollars from the Ministry of Household Affairs seems like a lot.

However, the imperial court needs to spend money everywhere. The border cities are in danger and cannot stop the foreign invasion. The salary of millions of soldiers has been owed for half a month. The rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are waiting to be dredged to avoid floods. The east side that has just been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty is crying for food and is in urgent need of relief. The Ministry of Household Affairs

But he said there is no silver. How come there is money to build roads today? What is Mr. Tang’s intention?”

The words were resounding.

Tang Jian's face changed slightly, but he had no way to refute.

Changsun Wuji also stood up and said in a cold voice: "Master Tang, you don't give me millions of soldiers' military pay, you don't give me silver to prevent floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and you don't give me money to repair the border cities. Why do you want me to stop the war in the Tang Dynasty?

I would like to ask, what is Mr. Tang’s intention?”

Kill people, but kill your heart!
