Chapter 209 Moving the capital and sealing the queen 2
After Jiang Han finished speaking, everyone looked angry but afraid to speak.
One of the officials' hometown is Linyi, and he knows the prices in Linyi very well. The house he owns can be bought for only more than 10,000 taels on weekdays, but now it costs 30,000 taels, which is three times more expensive.
Want more.
But he didn't dare to say it, let alone offend Jiang Han's friend.
Everyone's mind is like a clear mirror, and they have to accept this account even if they don't admit it.
As a result, the fifty houses were sold out within half an hour. Jiang Han held a thick stack of IOUs in his hand, all of which were signed by all the adults.
"This is all a small business. I ask all the ministers to redeem the documents with silver notes within an hour."
Jiang Han couldn't stop smiling.
The ministers looked at Jiang Han, and the more they looked at him, the more dazzling he became, and they all walked away.
There were people cursing along the way.
"Isn't this just a bandit? He's robbing openly. No wonder the emperor trusts him. He can turn a dead person into a living person."
"Unfortunately, there is such a treacherous and cunning right minister. He is very shameless. He has earned enough money to squander it in eighteen lifetimes."
The officials became more and more angry as they thought about it, almost yelling at each other. They had been robbed of a lot of money for no reason and could not find anyone to reason with.
This cowardly attitude is really frustrating.
They were all officials under the Emperor's command, so he was not afraid of being repudiated, and soon received more than two million taels in silver notes.
Jiang Han counted out a small half and returned it to the treasury. In addition, he generously donated 300,000 taels of silver to the treasury. Chu Xuanzhi didn't care about the rest and counted it as Jiang Han's private money.
The night is getting darker
Almost all the lights in the capital were brightly lit, and some people rushed to Linyi in the middle of the night for fear of being late.
Chu Xuanzhi was even more thoughtful and arranged a lot of guards to patrol the road from the capital to Linyi to ensure everyone's travel.
Jiang Yunxu also suffered from insomnia that night.
He was pulled up before dawn and put on the phoenix crown and robe belonging to the Queen of the Middle Palace. She was dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe. Every stitch and thread on the skirt was embroidered with gold thread. The old ladies in the palace helped
She put on exquisite makeup.
The old grandma looked in the mirror and sighed softly, sighing in her heart that although she looked ordinary, she was destined to be the queen of the middle palace.
When the old woman raised her head, she suddenly met Jiang Yunxu's eyes, which were a little sharp. She was so frightened that she immediately lowered her eyes and did not dare to have other thoughts.
After finishing her makeup, she walked out with Hong Qiao's support. The sound of firecrackers could be vaguely heard outside, and it was very lively.
The palace carriage had been waiting outside the door early.
When Jiang Yunxu raised her head, she saw Chu Xuazhi wearing a dragon robe, standing in front of the door waiting for her. Jiang Yunxu lowered her eyes, her heartbeat was thundering, and her palms were sweating. How had she ever experienced such a big battle?
"The Queen is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old." Everyone saluted.
Jiang Yunxu raised his hand and shouted.
Everyone stood up.
Chu Xuanzhi stretched out his hand to support her, said thank you for your hard work, and led her into the carriage. After she sat firmly, the carriage continued to move forward.
Jiang Yunxu stretched out his hand and touched his neck. A phoenix crown was placed on his head, but his neck felt a little unbearable. The large pearls on it were a bit heavy.
"There's still a while to go on the journey today. Let's take off the phoenix crown first." Chu Xuanzhi then found the hair-combing lady to take off the phoenix crown first.
Without the restraints of the phoenix crown, Jiang Yunxu rubbed his neck and took a long breath: "I feel much more comfortable."
Chu Xuanzhi smiled, raised his hand and handed over a cup of tea, and said gently: "Today's process has been reduced again and again. I will try not to make you suffer. Although the palace in Linyi is not as prosperous as the capital, the space is enough.
Big, I’ll just pack up one room and live in it for the time being, and then we’ll clean it up later.”
Jiang Yunxu listened silently and suddenly asked: "Is it because of my words that day that the emperor moved the capital to Linyi?"
"That's not the case." Chu Xuangzhi objected, not wanting to burden Jiang Yunxu, so he explained: "The strength of the capital is complicated, and it would be beneficial to me to move to another place."
Jiang Yunxu half-believed this, but did not expose it.
