After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

Chapter 184 If you have the ability, bring a beautiful girl back

After thinking for a while, Yan Xiongxin said, "Your Majesty, I think we should not move for the time being."

Emperor Yongxing said, "Go on."

Yan Xiongxin continued, "Your Majesty, it's useless to investigate the people below, we have to investigate the people above.

If we start investigating from the bottom, we will definitely alert the people hiding above.

Therefore, I think we should not take any action yet. September is coming soon. In another month, the Ministry of War will have to start counting the number of people and then report to the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue will allocate the money as usual, and then we will start the investigation.

It would be best if we could place someone in the Ministry of War, and it would have to be a key position where we could get some useful information."

Wu Bangtai quickly agreed, "Master Yan is absolutely right. This is indeed a solution."

The others were still lost in thought when Marquis Jing'an spoke up, "Your Majesty, I think we can arrange for people to visit various places.

This matter is too important. Even if there is only a 10% chance, we must be on guard.

In addition to identifying the possible person, the most important thing is to find where the soldiers are hiding.

If that were really possible, those soldiers would definitely hide in the mountains and dare not show up.

But the daily expenses of tens of thousands of people are not small, and if you look carefully you should be able to find some clues."

Qin Bingrong said, "Marquis Jing'an is absolutely right. If it is really as I suspected, finding the hidden troops is the most important thing.

But the world is so big, how can we find it? This is the problem.

If we dispatch a large number of people to search specifically, it will also attract some people's attention."

At this time, Lord Wang said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea. I wonder if it is feasible?"

"Lord Wang, please speak."

Lord Wang said, “Your Majesty, my grandson is doing business outside now.

Almost every provincial capital has a workshop, and deliveries are made to surrounding counties every day.

Or we can arrange some people to go to him and search for him everywhere in the name of doing business.

You can also pay more attention to whether there are large quantities of food and vegetables transported to various cities."

The others thought this method was feasible, at least it wouldn't attract other people's attention.

Duke Wei asked, "Lord Wang, why did your grandson go into business?"

Lord Wang said, "Well, that kid doesn't like studying, and he complains about the hardship of practicing martial arts. He's really not good at either literature or martial arts.

Then he said he wanted to start a business, and his family didn’t bother to take care of him, so they let him go.”

The Duke of Wei then asked, "Your eldest grandson is already quite old, isn't he? Why haven't I heard that he's married to any girl? Would you like me to introduce you to some grandson's wives?"

Old Marquis Wang said hurriedly, "Don't worry, Duke. My eldest grandson is already engaged."

"Engaged? To whom?"

Lord Wang said, "She is from an ordinary family, just a farmer's daughter."

Duke Wei glared and said, "A farmer's daughter? Why did you marry him to a farmer's daughter?

No, no, your boy is my grandson after all, I will find him another one.

There are so many girls in the capital, I'll go and talk to whichever one you like."

Lord Wang hurriedly bowed to Duke Wei, "Duke, let's get down to business first."

"Oh, okay, let's get down to business first. We'll talk later."

Qin Bingrong said, "Master Wang's proposal is feasible."

Emperor Yongxing nodded, "If that's the case, then let's proceed with the arrangement."

Emperor Yongxing then ordered, "Lord Yan, the investigation is now in your hands."

"Marquis Jing'an, it is your responsibility to find the hiding place of the soldiers.

As for manpower, you can arrange some and select some from my guards. That should be enough."

"If you two are undecided about anything during your investigation, please consult Lord Qin. Lord Qin will be responsible for the overall matter."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Marquis Jing'an, Yan Xiongxin, and Qin Bingrong all bowed and accepted the order.

Emperor Yongxing finally said, "I need not say more about the importance of this matter. I hope you, my dear ministers, can help me share my worries."

Everyone shouted: "We will do our utmost to help share the burden..."

"My dear ministers, please step back."

"Your Majesty, please leave!"

Everyone took a few steps back and turned to walk out.

Emperor Yongxing suddenly spoke again, "Wang Changming, I heard that your mother is in poor health. I am sending two experienced maids to take care of your mother."

Wang Changming felt so aggrieved. This was not about serving his mother at all, it was a naked threat.

But Wang Changming still had to kneel down and express his gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Alas, who told me that I am not the emperor’s confidant?

……

After leaving the imperial study, Lord Wang and Marquis Jing'an went straight home and walked very quickly.

Duke Wei called out from behind, but the father and son seemed not to hear.

In the carriage, Marquis Jing'an and Old Marquis Wang talked about the details they had learned in the past few months, and then talked about Zhang Dahua.

Lord Wang smiled and asked, "Did you see it?"

Marquis Jing'an nodded, "I saw it."

"How is it? Are you satisfied with that girl?"

"Not bad, she knows the rules of etiquette. Not a lady from a wealthy family, but a beautiful girl from a small family."

Lord Wang nodded and smiled, “That girl is very shy and has a gentle personality, and she will bring peace to our family in the future.

I know her family well, and her parents are honest farmers.

But her aunt is very clever, and can be said to be wise."

Marquis Jing'an said, "She's Zhang Hulan, right? We had dinner at her house, but we don't know much about her."

Lord Wang told Marquis Jing'an about some of Zhang Hulan's actions, and then said, "Although she is just a woman, she is very generous in her actions."

Marquis Jing'an nodded, then asked, "Father, Xingren's marriage has been decided, but what about the wedding date? Has it been set?"

"Not yet. I'm waiting for you."

"Let's discuss this when we get back. We should make a decision as soon as possible, to prevent Duke Wei from causing trouble..."

"What about mother?"

Lord Wang said, "Your mother has already agreed. Although she loves your sister and your niece, she loves her grandson even more."

"Did Xiaorong and her daughter make a scene?"

"Why didn't you make a fuss? Li He even said she wanted to become a nun.

Your mother wanted Li He to be Xingren's concubine, but your wife resolved the issue."

After the father and son talked and returned home, Ye Hongling, after showing some concern, also learned that Marquis Jing'an had met his daughter-in-law.

She said with a smug look: "You have all seen it, but I, as a mother, don't even know what my daughter-in-law looks like."

Wang Xingyao asked, "Dad, is my sister-in-law pretty?"

Marquis Jing'an said, "What does it matter to you whether your sister-in-law is pretty or not? If you have the ability, bring back a beautiful girl yourself."

Wang Xingyao curled his lips, "You wish."

Wang Xingyao then said to Ye Hongling, "Mom, Grandfather and Dad have both met my sister-in-law, but you haven't. It's so unfair.

I think you should go check on your sister-in-law too. Otherwise, if she walks in, you won't know who she is. What if you recognize the wrong person? "

Ye Hongling glanced at Wang Xingyao. She knew exactly how his intestines were.

Wang Xingyao definitely wanted to go out and play, but Ye Hongling also wanted to go...
