When Qin Chen came back, he saw his wife talking to Hong'er and others about the renovation of Princess Chao'an's Mansion.

Qin Chen was well-informed and naturally knew about the affairs of the Princess' Mansion.

"Congratulations, daughter-in-law."

Hearing Qin Chen's words, Yun Zhao's eyes narrowed with a smile.

"Thank you."

Qin Chen looked at his wife and said with a smile.

"If you don't have enough manpower, I still have some people on my side."

"We have enough manpower. Don't use your people anymore."

Yun Zhao refused.

"it is good."

Yun Zhao looked at Qin Chen and asked about the Ministry of Revenue.

"How is the Ministry of Revenue these days?"

"Some people were planning to take advantage of the grain, but our people found out and dealt with them..."

Nowadays, these grains are like a mountain of gold. There are too many people who want to get them. Some of them try to get favors from the Ministry of Revenue. Some try to win them over, even the soldiers guarding them. Some try to bribe them with money.

The price of a pound of grain seeds has now increased by more than ten times.

Someone has already spread the news outside that the people took their household registration to buy grain seeds at five cents per catty, and they purchased them at fifty cents per catty, so ten catties would cost five hundred cents.

However, this is just a price without demand, because the Ministry of Revenue has not yet distributed these grains. Now the Ministry of Revenue, the prefectural government, and the Ministry of Justice have gone to investigate to see who is deliberately driving up the price behind the scenes.

The person who drives the price up so high has very sinister intentions.

Not only did they want to buy these grains, but more importantly, they wanted to cause chaos in Daxia. These grains were originally only five coins per catty, and ten catties were only fifty coins. Ordinary people could earn this much money by having someone in their family do the work for a few days. But now the price has increased tenfold, and five hundred coins is still a lot of money for ordinary people. Sometimes, the money saved in a year may not be this much.

After the prices are driven up, more people will keep an eye on these things, and then all kinds of things will happen more frequently.

Just like the soldiers stationed in the Ministry of Revenue, guarding this mountain of gold and silver, if someone gave them some money and asked them to steal some out, as long as they could convince some people, they might succeed.

The money given to them is more than they can earn in their entire life.

The camp outside the capital was now also sent to guard the Ministry of Revenue. Ordinary soldiers might be bribed, but the soldiers under Qin Chen were strictly trained, and if others wanted to bribe them, the news would be reported by the soldiers.

Qin Chen and his wife were talking about what had happened in the past few days.

After listening to Qin Chen's words, Yun Zhao nodded.

"It's getting late, go wash up, we'll have dinner later."

"it is good."

After Qin Chen washed up, he saw his wife sitting at the table waiting for him.

"From now on, if you're hungry, just eat first, no need to wait for me."

"it is good."

After dinner, Cuihua and a few others came forward and took the food away.

Yun Zhao looked at Qin Chen and said.

"Tell me about Yunchao."

Qin Chen was stunned for a moment, then after he came to his senses, he reached out and hugged his wife.

"Wife, why did you think of this?"

Yun Zhao had actually been thinking about Yun Chao for a long time. Her mother, Princess Zhaoyang, was so kind to her. If she could find Princess Yun Chao back, her mother would definitely be very happy. Father Yun would also be pleased in his grave.

"I want to bring Princess Yunchao back..."

Qin Chen listened to his wife's words, lowered his head, kissed her cheek, and said.

"Silly wife, don't think too much about this matter."
