Although many people come to Chaochao's full moon banquet for ulterior motives, it still seems harmonious at the moment.

Mr. Qinghe came out with Chaochao in his arms, smiling. Han Mingyuan and Han Xiao stood on both sides of Mr. Qinghe.

Then Mr. Qinghe spoke. He didn't say anything complicated, but simply introduced Han Mingyuan and Chaochao's names and identities.

In fact, the powerful people in the capital have long known that Han Mingyuan is Mr. Qinghe's disciple, but Qinghe has never responded in person.

This time Han Mingyuan won the top three places in the imperial examination, and since Chao Chao is having his full moon banquet, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce him to you all.

He also warned some people that if they wanted to touch the Han family, they would have to see whether he agreed or not.

The protagonist, Xiao Chaochao, was carried away as soon as he showed his face.

When handing the child over to Han's mother, Mr. Qinghe was reluctant to let him go. He was very reluctant to see his well-behaved and lovely little grandson leave him.

Han's mother carried little Chaochao back to the backyard and handed him to Ruanruan. Chaochao would still cry if he was away from his father for too long.

Han Xiao sat in his seat and discussed his thoughts with Ruan Xiuran.

Ruan Xiuran has also grown a lot during this period of time. After hearing the details Han Xiao mentioned, Ruan Xiuran felt that it was completely feasible.

Moreover, the Ruan family was originally a fabric merchant, so making clothes was a piece of cake for them.

After listening to Han Xiao's story, Ruan Xiuran decided to go back and find an experienced embroiderer to organize all the ideas and designs that Han Xiao mentioned.

Lu Qingyun, who was listening to this, was also jealous. He nudged Han Xiao with his elbow and asked, "What about me? What about me? Han Xiao, have you found something for me to do?"

Han Xiao picked up his teacup to moisten his throat. "You? Isn't cement enough for you? We need to hurry up on this road construction, otherwise the loss of transporting our goods from Qingping Town to the capital will be too great."

Lu Qingyun was heartbroken when he heard this. Was it the glass that was broken? It was clearly his heart that was broken.

So the Lu family is the one that is most concerned about cement.

"But aren't we facing difficulties now?" Lu Qingyun scratched his hair, not knowing whether he should tell Han Xiao about this.

"What? Why is it difficult?" Han Xiao asked with a frown. Logically speaking, it was already April and the weather was getting warmer, so it was time to start construction.

The Han family has been busy lately, so Han Xiao hasn't been paying attention to the situation at the farm cement.

"Hey, it's those old foxes in the Ministry of Revenue. Such an important matter as road construction is now stuck in the Ministry of Revenue."

The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of all the money in the world. The only thing that could get stuck in the Ministry of Revenue is that they don't provide funds. Without funds, Chu Jinglin can't start the project.

When the emperor hears about this, he will think that Chu Jinglin is incompetent.

The reason given by the Ministry of Revenue was that the treasury was empty, which can be summed up in two words: "no money."

Just take whatever amount is given to you, so that they can explain to the emperor. But how can the cost of road construction be spent with the meager amount given by the Ministry of Revenue?

So now Chu Jinglin is so worried that his hair is about to fall out. Even though the Lu family is Chu Jinglin's money bag and Han Xiao has made a lot of money for Chu Jinglin, it is just a drop in the bucket and is far from enough.

"How could this happen? Who does the Ministry of Revenue belong to?" Han Xiao didn't pay much attention to the power of court officials.

Lu Qingyun rolled his eyes and said angrily, "No one, he's just an old fox. However, one of the cousins ​​of the Minister of Revenue is Zhang Yuanzhong's favorite concubine. I don't think there is no relationship between the two of them."

Although she is called a cousin, who actually knows where she came from? She is just the capital of some marriage alliance.

The people from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue were mixed up, so it was no wonder that Chu Jinglin made trouble.

After Lu Qingyun finished speaking, he carefully glanced at Han Xiao's expression. Seeing that there was nothing unusual on his face, he breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, the Third Prince did not want Han Xiao to know these things.

Moreover, even if Han Xiao was told, there was nothing he could do. Han Xiao was just a marquis with no power. As for Han Mingyuan, he had just entered the court and had a shallow foundation, so he really could not help much.

However, seeing that Han Xiao hadn't spoken, Lu Qingyun felt a little disappointed. Unlike Chu Jinglin, Lu Qingyun knew Han Xiao better.

In his opinion, Han Xiao is omnipotent. Could it be that even Han Xiao has no way out this time?

If Chu Jinglin doesn't start the construction, the emperor will find out, and the road construction may turn from a great thing into a hot potato.

"So..." Han Xiao was silent for a moment and then continued.

"Well, Qingyun, I'll be preparing a bidding meeting in a few days. I believe you heard it when you were outside just now."

Lu Qingyun nodded. Those people all wanted to cooperate with Han Xiao and get a share of the profits from Qihuoju.

"When the bidding meeting comes, tell the three of them and ask them to come over and take a look."

Han Xiao leaned close to Lu Qingyun's ear and spoke. Lu Qingyun's eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Han Xiao with admiration in his eyes.

Is it possible to do this?

"Do you understand?" Han Xiao said helplessly as he looked at Lu Qingyun who was almost dumbfounded.

He had actually guessed that it would not be so easy for Chu Jinglin to build the road, and sure enough, problems have arisen now.

In fact, the issue of road construction funds cannot be blamed entirely on the Ministry of Revenue. On the one hand, the Ministry of Revenue is making things difficult for Chu Jinglin, and on the other hand, it is possible that the Ministry of Revenue really does not have such a large amount of money.

Now the entire court knows the benefits of building a cement road, and no one dares to slack off at this time. This is also the reason why Chu Jinglin did not go to the emperor to complain.

Even in modern society, Han Xiao remembered that when China built roads, it took a lot of energy, financial resources, material resources and manpower, not to mention the people in ancient times who were short of food and clothing and had many hungry people.

"I understand, I understand. When I go back today, I'll tell my father and ask him to go find the Third Prince. Han Xiao... Thank you so much..."

Lu Qingyun was about to cry as he was talking. His father's hair had turned a lot whiter because of this matter. He never thought that such a difficult problem could be easily solved by Han Xiao.

In fact, the methods Han Xiao gave were very simple, and almost all of them were learned in modern times.

The biggest problems Chu Jinglin faces now are money and manpower.

Regarding finances, Han Xiao suggested that the national treasury should not always pay for the funds. Instead, they could follow his example and hold an official bidding meeting to allow major businesses to participate.

The national treasury has no money, but these businessmen are very rich. If we give them some benefits, nominal rewards or something, I believe these businessmen will be happy to give us money.

At that time, we will organize a fundraising campaign. The person who donates the most can be made a marquis or something, and become a mascot like Han Xiao.
