In the afternoon, Zhulan returned home and did not call her daughter-in-law, but instead asked her to come alone and called her together. She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be embarrassed, especially the third daughter-in-law in front of her, who had less money than the county lord.

Zhulan looked for it alone, starting from the boss, "That's how it is. My mother doesn't have that much money, so she wants to borrow it from your rooms and wait for you to pay it back in two months."

Li thought a lot, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law would borrow money. The big house didn't have much money in her hand. Now the money is still the dividends of the snack shop. "Mom, the big house bought the shop with her mother, and she can still have 800 taels in her hand. Mom, this money is the filial piety of the big house, but the big house doesn't have much money in her hand, so she can't help much."

Zhulan didn't expect much money from the big house. She knew where the big house would go. She knew that the big house didn't have much money, and she spoke to Li not to test filial piety. She just hoped that the few houses would be more united and work hard, no matter how much they were.

She also hopes that her daughter can help her brothers more in the future, and that she is more attentive than her own mother.

Zhulan smiled, "My mother knows your filial piety. She said she borrowed it, but she borrowed it."

Li has known her mother-in-law for so many years, so her mother-in-law’s idea will not change easily.

Zhulan sent Li away, and Zhao came over. What Zhulan didn't expect was that after hearing the reason, Zhao directly handed over the second house to the bottom of the second house. "Mom, when my husband left, he took some money, and his daughter-in-law bought jewelry for Yushuang. Now he still has more than 2,000 taels in his hand. Now his daughter-in-law takes it all over when she goes back. Mom, don't say whether to borrow it or not. You said that we are all a family, and our parents are worried about the family. This is my second house, and my parents are filial to my parents."

Zhulan looked at Zhao's eyes. She knew that Zhao had changed. In the past, Zhao's eyes could not hide sorrow. Now she had peace in her eyes. What Zhao said was sincere, "My mother has received your feelings, but my mother can't turn over the money in her hands for a while."

Then there was Dong's family. Dong's words were similar, but these three houses had a weak foundation and would buy the money if they had money in their hands. There was really not much cash in them. In the end, Su Xuan took the big head.

The bamboo orchid had enough silver, so she asked Butler Wang to hand it over to Deng Xiucai. The farmer had transferred the property early, and she felt relieved earlier.

In the teahouse in the east of the city, the third prince and the fourth prince sat opposite each other, and no one said anything. Both of them were waiting for news. The prince entered the palace and brought Lord Zhou with him. According to the news from the palace, he was holding the account book in his hand.

The third prince was a little nervous and had been in the palace for a few hours, but the prince and Lord Zhou had not left the palace.

The fourth prince was also feeling heavy. After so many years, his father and emperor finally didn't care about the prince, so don't let the prince discover anything. The prince turned over, they should be cautious when they want to jump around.

In the palace, Zhou Shuren painted pictures with his face. In order to display it more clearly and intuitively, the trend chart is the most suitable. He really doesn't want to see the numbers one by one, which makes it a headache to see it.

Zhou Shuren cursed Yan Yunsi in his heart, and wanted to slap himself in the face and mention the population. Now that he wants to check the population and report it to the emperor, it is really a scam.

Eunuch Liu took the tea from the young eunuch, "Mr. Zhou didn't drink water for a long time, so he had a sip of tea."

Zhou Shuren dared not serve Eunuch Liu. This is a person who specializes in serving the emperor. Now the emperor is the most suspicious. He must be cautious and hurry up to take it, "I'm sorry for my father-in-law."

Eunuch Liu actually came with a task. Looking at the drawings on the table, he was stunned. What is this?

Zhou Shuren had drunk tea and continued to be busy. He was about to finish his work and finally could leave the palace.

The emperor and the prince were busy watching the memorials. The prince was not in the palace. These were the emperor's work. There were many memorials these days, and the two of them were busy all the time.

The emperor rubbed his neck, "Can Zhou Shuren calculate it?"

Eunuch Liu, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou hasn't finished the calculation yet."

The emperor nodded and continued to look at the note. Time passed by little by little. After another cup of tea, Zhou Shuren came over with two drawings, and unfolded it without saying a word. "The emperor is the trend chart drawn by the minister. The red line is death, and the black one is population growth. Because there are loopholes in the household registration, the number of deaths is not very accurate. However, these are enough to see the population changes in the past few years."

The emperor walked to the drawings supported by several eunuchs. The trend chart was more intuitive than the numbers. Moreover, there were numbers marked on the line. The emperor saw it clearly. Unlike before, the emperor always had to remember the numbers in his heart every time he looked at it. With too many numbers, he couldn't remember it. The emperor sighed: "Your dear are really a talent."

Zhou Shuren thought to himself that this is really not a great talent. This convenient trend chart can be seen everywhere in modern times.

The prince felt that Lord Zhou was like a treasure, which would surprise you from time to time. He thought to himself that when you return to the Ministry of Revenue, you must maintain Lord Zhou's body well.

The emperor felt that the Zhuangzi was not rewarded in vain. Thinking of Zhou Shuren's talent, he finally sighed and stayed in the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue also needs people. Xiao Qing stayed in the Ministry of Revenue for too long. There was no one before and he trusted Xiao Qing, so Xiao Qing was always in the position of Minister of Revenue.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren came home with the snacks given by the emperor, and Zhulan helped Zhou Shuren change his official uniform, "What do you mean, you have been in the palace and have only come out now?"

Zhou Shuren was tired. He thought he could leave after reporting. As a result, the emperor asked the prince to ask him for advice. He became a teacher again and he did not leave the palace until now. "Tonight, Lord Qiu can't sleep."

Zhulan chuckled, "I see, many people can't sleep tonight."

Zhou Shuren lowered his voice, "The roots of the Jianghuai area are hidden deep. Although the emperor did not say it clearly, I see, I need to make big moves."

Zhulan asked, "But what happened?"

Zhou Shuren talked about his discovery, and Zhulan patted Zhou Shuren on the shoulder. This man still dreamed of resigning early, and this wish could not be realized.

Zhou Shuren, “…….”

He felt that the wife was not comforting him!

Zhulan frowned and said, "Zhao Bo suddenly borrowed money from us. Do you still remember? He didn't tell the reason. Something must have happened. As you said, there has always been a problem in the Jianghuai area. Something happened to Zhao Bo after he was promoted. Why do I think Zhao Bo has entered the thief's nest!"

Zhou Shuren whispered: "I have always understood that corruption in salt tax is certain, but I didn't expect that for more than ten years, I couldn't find the root cause. I didn't think it was a little cold in the past, but today I found that Zhao Bo did enter the thief's nest. However, since he borrowed money, I guess someone had put a trap on him. If he really had a relationship with the flow, Zhao Bo didn't have to borrow money, so he would settle it if he compromised."

Zhulan frowned, "I hope he won't be implicated."

Zhou Shuren also hoped so much. Zhao Bo was his first friend in ancient times and also a friend who had been in touch with him.

Zhou Shuren continued: "The forces in the Jianghuai area have always been very complicated. Many families in the capital have some forces in the Jianghuai area. They are not worse than those in the capital. It is not easy to find the roots. However, this time the discovery is very important. This account has not changed much for so many years, and you can also find some pulses along the way."

Zhulan listened and looked at Zhou Shuren with a strange expression. Zhou Shuren felt uncomfortable being watched, "Madam, why do you think of me like this?"

Zhulan laughed, "Did you notice it? You have helped the emperor discover many hidden dangers along the way. Jinzhou and Jianghuai have been hidden for many years. Why do I feel that you have been increasing the luck of the royal family?"

She could even imagine that if Zhou Shuren had not discovered it, even if the emperor won, it would have hurt his vitality, and the government would be affected and directly affect the people. In the event of chaos, even if it recovered, it would have taken many years.

Zhou Shuren touched his beard, "It seems to be true."

Zhulan smiled, "I think this is good. Only when the court is stable can the people live in peace, and you have accumulated blessings."

Zhou Shuren pulled the corner of his mouth, "So there are too few villages, so the emperor should reward two, or exchange them with the village that rewarded the prince."
