Isn’t it good for the five of us to be together?

I didn’t expect that besides the delicious snacks at the Prime Minister’s Mansion, even the food was to my liking. I love spicy food, but there are very few spicy dishes in the General's Mansion. I never thought that there are so many spicy dishes in the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as the cold dishes that I miss so much.

I was surprised: "Do adults also like spicy food?"

The Prime Minister said: "I can eat it, but I don't eat it often."

The boy standing next to him spoke again: "My lord, I have inquired about Lord Chen's preferences long ago, and specifically asked the boys to remember it, so I sent you, Lord Chen."

I was stunned. Although I was very happy, I didn't understand why the adults could do this.

Thinking of your sister Wen Ya'an, could it be that you just mistook me for her and that's why it's so good?

Your Excellency saw my doubts, and she said: "I really treat you like a sister. If you can live in the house, I would be very happy. I never thought that someone would be the first to get there, Qin Che." .”

I said weakly: "The general and I are not what you think." I haven't said anything yet, and if I say too much, I will easily get slapped in the face.

The Prime Minister snorted coldly: "If you really like him, the truth is not stopping you. It's just that he is not a good man and you don't know his past."

Seeing that the adult really cares about me like this, I feel a little ashamed of her.

I said: "Sir, if you can't fight, you can still run away. If one day the General's Palace no longer tolerates me, wouldn't there be a Prime Minister's Palace?"

The adult said: "If that happens, no one will dare to hurt you at all."

After eating and drinking, I returned to the mansion. The carriage was sent back by the Prime Minister's Mansion. I saw Erchi at the door of the mansion, with an anxious look on his face. When he saw me coming back, he immediately came to greet me: "My aunt, my Lord Chen, you are back." .”

I said, "What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?"

Erchi said: "Is the general sulking inside? No one dares to serve him."

I thought to myself, it shouldn't be that big of a deal. I just had a meal and didn't stay up all night like last time.

I went into the house to take a look. As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the aroma of food and saw a large table of dishes.

Just when I was surprised, a sudden voice came: "You're back?"

When I saw Qin Che sitting at the dinner table with a cold face and looking at me, I felt a little guilty.

I asked: "Ache came back so early today?"

Qin Che said nothing and looked at me quietly.

This silence kind of scares me.

Me: "Archer?"

Qin Che: "Can Aji still eat it?"

I looked at the dishes on the table, but because I had just finished eating, I had no appetite at all: "I guess I can't eat any more."

Qin Che stood up: "Then throw them all away."

I quickly grabbed him and said, "No, it's too wasteful."

Qin Che: "Is it just a waste?"

Looking at the familiar table of dishes in front of me, I had a flash of inspiration: "Arche worked so hard to prepare such a large table of dishes. It would be a pity to throw them away. Keep them for tonight. I will definitely finish them."

Qin Che took my hand and said, "Sometimes I really want Ah Ji to only look at me, but I can't do that."

I was surprised that Qin Che had become so dependent on me, so I comforted him: "It was my negligence. I didn't know that Archer went back home so early today. I will also cook a table of meals for Archer in the future. Archer You can order whatever you want, okay?"

Qin Che: "As you know, Ji, there is nothing I can do against you. As long as you are by my side, it will be fine."

Seeing that his mood had stabilized, I thought he probably didn't eat much because he was sulking, so I asked him to sit down and eat something first. Qin Che eats very gracefully, and every move makes people look appetizing.

Hmm...suitable for mukbang.

Maybe my gaze was too intense, so Qin Che said, "When Ji looks at me like this, I can't help myself."

ah? Why can't you help yourself?

Looking at my expression, Qin Che smiled.

What a boy, you're flirting while eating.

I said: "But by the way, why did you come back so early today?"

Qin Che: "I've almost finished my investigation. I came back early today, but I'm not at home."

Automatically blocking the second half of his sentence, he has almost checked the matter, and Ling Hengyuan should take action soon.

As expected, Qin Che began to promulgate relevant laws on the next day and took back a large part of the mining industry.

This matter was such an uproar that it was so sudden that no one had time to react. The ministers only asked whether it would be too sudden, but did not think there was anything wrong with this method.

First, he was afraid of Ling Hengyuan's cruel temper.

The second is to take back a large part of the mining industry, which is also very good for Nanyang's national affairs.

It is well known that Nanyang is heavy on business. In the past few generations, there were many wealthy businessmen with financial resources comparable to the national financial resources, and there were also incidents of rebellion. This caused a headache for those in power. It's not that the superior doesn't want to change, it's that this law affects the whole body. The influence of wealthy businessmen is basically everywhere, and their financial resources are far from clear to us. In addition, the government was not stable at that time, so it was not a good time for change.

However, if this problem is not solved, there may be endless troubles. The entire country is either filled with wealthy businessmen, or the common people underneath are squeezed to the bone. Coupled with the blind price gouging done by wealthy businessmen due to their monopoly on the business world, the consequences of these things are still very serious.

At present, there is a strange consensus in the court.

But this has definitely harmed the interests of wealthy businessmen, and they are currently protesting. After all, their big industries are being dealt with, and it is a huge loss no matter how you look at it.

When I went to Qinzheng Hall, I saw a group of wealthy businessmen waiting at the door, crying: "Please give me a way to survive!"

My veins are twitching wildly, I'm afraid Ling Hengyuan is not in a good mood right now.

After being summoned, I walked into the hall, and sure enough, Ling Hengyuan looked gloomy, lying on the bench, with Xiao Dezi waiting on him, rubbing his temples.

I bowed and said, "Bless your majesty."

When Ling Hengyuan saw that it was me, he raised his hand: "No courtesy, I'll give you a seat."

As soon as I sat down, Ling Hengyuan asked me: "Do you think I am too radical to let these people live and die like this?"

Options appear:

"Yes"

"no"

I chose the second one.

I said: "Your Majesty, it is not the case."

Ling Hengyuan: "Tell me and listen."

I said: "Whenever Your Majesty announces this law, they will be dissatisfied. What's more, there are no absolute friends in business. Now that Your Majesty has taken over so much of their property, they will definitely join forces. The one who attacks.”

Ling Hengyuan: "Continue."

I said: "The minister boldly speculates on the holy will. Now that they can enter the palace and let His Majesty listen to their words, His Majesty must have already made a decision."

Ling Hengyuan glanced at me and said with a smile: "You are indeed smart. Qin Che did not support you in vain."

Ling Hengyuan stood up, Xiao Dezi arranged his clothes, then walked to the desk and sat down: "Here comes, pass."
