"Lord Qiu, why didn't your Ministry of Revenue mention that His Majesty used his own private treasury to build the garden?"

Lord Qiu was just an insignificant clerk in the Ministry of Revenue. He couldn't possibly manage so many things. Besides, what did the censors have to do with the Ministry of Revenue if they were causing trouble?

The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works were surrounded and complained about for quite some time before it ended.

This whole thing has turned the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works into the "bad guys," which is really unreasonable.

After the grand assembly ended, people began to repay their loans one after another. Some of the less daring ones even repaid double, fearing that they would be held accountable.

The national treasury's repayment of silver has yielded results, and the Ministry of Works has also begun constructing the garden.

Although it was called a garden, it was actually a temporary palace. Emperor Kangxi planned to stay in this palace for a long time. He realized that as long as he was still the emperor and had a harem, it was impossible for Youqing to enter the palace.

Since she doesn't want to enter the palace, then he can leave.

A garden without imperial concubines is good too.

Having only been in the capital for a short time, Youqing didn't know much about it. Although she came from the Forbidden City, the inside and outside of the palace were basically two different worlds.

She still has a lot to learn.

For example, the current commercial structure of Beijing: which streets are prosperous, what kind of relationships exist between which shops, and who has conflicts with whom...

These seemingly unimportant things are actually very important.

After researching for several days and learning quite a bit, Youqing decided to go out and see for herself.

I didn't feel anything while I was in the village, but when I came out, I found that there was construction going on nearby.

Youqing asked, "What's going on over there?"

Cheng Ying, who was standing nearby, said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is the Ministry of Works that is repairing the garden."

Is the Ministry of Works repairing the garden?

The garden that could get the Ministry of Works to build was probably for Emperor Kangxi to live in. Youqing immediately understood; this person was really persistent.

I asked one question, and then I didn't ask any more.

She wanted to see who could outlast whom.
