As soon as the old emperor issued the decree, Duke Ping hurriedly sent someone to Huaizhou to arrest Xie Xun, but the person reported back that Xie Xun was no longer in the Huaizhou camp and had gone to the border with Shi Yuan.

Within a few months, the Minister of Finance began to complain, "Your Majesty, we don't know how long this war will last. In less than a year, the treasury will be empty again."

However, if taxes were raised in various places at this time, public resentment would inevitably arise. Most people do not understand anything about war and will only blame the court for looking for war.

The old emperor was also worried. This was indeed a difficult problem. Throughout history, the people were the ones who suffered the most in wars. But there was no way around it. He couldn't let the soldiers who were fighting on the line between life and death suffer.

All palaces have been cutting spending recently, so this can be counted at least a little.

The Minister of Works was anxious, as his waterway would be completed soon and could not be cut off at this time!

Just say that this war cannot be fought.

At this time, Su Juan said, "Don't worry, my lords. I still have some private property and shops, which are quite profitable."

Su Juan felt a pang of pain as she spoke. Although she had been preparing for the war since early in the morning, she still couldn't bear to take it all out.

When Minister Mo heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. This little Su had donated a lot in the past, and now he even has private property! ?

The old emperor asked: "Jinyang, are you going to donate your private property again?"

Su Juan nodded, "My grandson only hopes to do his part for the court."

The old emperor remained silent, but even so, what could he say?

Other court officials were also thinking that even if Princess Jinyang donated the entire Su family, it would not last long. Fighting a war is not an easy matter. Food, herbs, and cotton-padded clothes and armor to keep warm in winter are not small amounts.

Everyone fell into worry.

The next day, when Su Juan once again presented the prepared account books to the old emperor, the old emperor's eyes widened!

He looked at Su Juan in disbelief. This was even more than before. How much private property had this girl hidden? How could the Su family make so much money in business?

I, the emperor, am extremely poor, but a businessman's wealth is worth several national treasuries.

The more the old emperor thought about it, the more sad he became. If he thought this way, why should he be an emperor? It would be better for him to just do business.

With mixed feelings, he handed the account book in his hand to the eunuch, who passed it to the Minister Mo of the Ministry of Revenue. After seeing the account book, Minister Mo almost jumped up on the spot.

Money, it’s all money!

This little Su is basically a money tree. Money comes out after shaking it twice.

She donated all of it without any hesitation. No wonder she became the crown princess!

If it were someone else, with so much private property in hand, how could they be willing to give it out? Anyway, I definitely wouldn't be willing to do so.

Thinking of this, Minister Mo was full of admiration for Su Juan, "Your Highness is so righteous!"

The news that Princess Jinyang had donated her private property again caused a sensation in the capital. When the people learned that they would not have to increase taxes, they were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.

Many people also questioned why Princess Jinyang had so much private property. Perhaps she had embezzled a lot of money from the Ministry of Revenue over the years.

Some people also sighed that the Su family is worthy of being the richest family, they are so rich!

Mr. Su had managed to save his life on the city wall, but he was so frightened that he dared not go out, nor did he dare to call himself Princess Jinyang's biological father and run rampant outside. He stayed in the mansion every day, living on the little money he had.

Su Lingling went back to the Su Mansion several times. She originally wanted to tell her family the good news of her husband's promotion. After being influenced by Xin Zhang, she also wanted to persuade her father to donate some money to the court at this time. However, Mr. Su refused to give a penny.

Mrs. Su was not surprised, but she was afraid that her husband would keep the money until his death and would no longer care about the outside business, and she, a wife, would have to take care of it.

When the imperial edict was delivered to the Su family, everyone in the capital came to watch the fun. Only then did they know that the Su family had been awarded the title of imperial merchant. This was the first time in a hundred years.

Those who know the inside story know that the title of this imperial merchant was obtained by exchanging most of the Su Mansion.

Mr. Su is now afraid of death and just wants to live with money. He doesn't care about the title of imperial merchant at all, and he doesn't want to acknowledge Su Juan, his prodigal daughter.

Upon learning that Su Juan had donated a lot of private property, Mr. Su did not even accept the imperial edict. He was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted in his house, saying "it's unjust" all the time.

&t;div tentadv>But Madam Su was happy. With the title of imperial merchant, her business outside could be taken care of, her son-in-law could be respected, and it would be easier for her to do things in the court.

Su Juan really made the right choice in choosing this strong partner.

When I was young, I thought Li Ruohua was capable, but I didn't expect that her daughter is even more capable now.

The news that Mr. Su vomited blood and fainted spread widely. Everyone said that he had a good daughter who did good things for the court and the people, and he was a great good man.

Shen Ruhui came to tell Su Juan about the rumors and teased her with a smile, "Now, I'm afraid you can't go back to the Su Mansion."

The two were playing chess. Su Juan was not very good at chess originally, but Shen Ruhui often studied chess manuals, so she followed him and learned for several years. Now her chess skills have improved a lot.

Su Juan said calmly, "I don't plan to go back either."

Although he did not kill Li Ruohua, she died because of him.

If it weren't for his plan, Li Ruohua would never have married him. After marriage, she was trapped in the Sifang Courtyard. Under the pretext of nurturing the pregnancy, she was not allowed to touch her premarital business. Later, he used their daughter as a threat and took control of all of Li Ruohua's business.

Others say that a mother is strong, but Su Juan always felt that if Li Ruohua had not saved the man she was engaged to, if she had not married, and if she had not had a daughter. She would have lived a better life.

Her daughter became her weak spot, and she was severely controlled by Master Su, who tore off his mask, and finally died of depression.

Su Juan raised her eyes and looked at Shen Ruhui, "So, are you going to enter the government or continue to hide in my courtyard?"

It has been a long time since the Pei family case, and the innocent people involved at the time have long since received justice, including Lord Shen. If Shen Ruhui wants to enter the officialdom now, he can recommend him to the old emperor. With his ability, it will not be difficult for him to get a position.

Shen Ruhui smiled and shook his head, "I haven't thought about it yet."

I really wanted to become an official at first, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky. Now that the opportunity is in front of me, I am a little hesitant.

"You're going to escort grain to the border in a few days?"

Su Juan nodded, "Well, winter is coming soon, and we have been fighting at the border for half a year. Although we have received one or two reports of victory, my uncle has always been worried about Xie Xun, so I will go and see him."

Shen Ruhui smiled and said, "Everyone in the Xie family is indeed a great figure."

I heard that Xie Xun has now become Shi Yuan's deputy general. He has made many military achievements and has never brought shame to the Duke Ping's Mansion.

Su Juan smiled, "He is a natural born general, but he just didn't have the chance before."

Some people are mediocre just because they don't have the right opportunities. Once they seize the opportunity, they will soar to the top. She thought, Xie Xun is one of them.

Shen Ruhui suddenly asked, "Can I go with you this time?"

Su Juan was a little surprised, "You want to go see Xie Xun too?"

Are the feelings between these two people so deep?
