Chapter 854 857. Suddenly
Jin Qianqian nodded without hesitation, "Let's give it a try. From now on, let Cancan take the other brothers to work on that piece of land. Anyway, I have always let him be in charge before."
Luo Luo is too busy on weekdays, so Jin Qianqian likes to ask Gu Bencan to do anything.
It just so happened that this time, Gu Bencan was involved in everything from seedling cultivation to land selection and reclamation, so it was appropriate to give the credit to him.
As for the other brothers of the Gu family, Jin Qianqian would naturally not treat them unfairly.
"I have to talk to Luo Luo about this," Gu Wenheng knew that she had already made the decision, so he naturally had no objection, but there were some things that needed to be made clear first.
Jin Qianqian, "Do you need to remind me of this? I've already discussed this with him, and Luo Luo naturally has no objection."
In the child’s words, it was only a help to him if his brothers lived a good life.
Gu Wenheng also understood the boss's thoughts. This was the best way, so as to avoid affecting the brotherhood because of this matter.
Gu Wenheng personally sent people to the county government to register three acres of wasteland, which even alarmed the county magistrate.
He curiously asked the master beside him, "Master Gu is so elegant that he even reclaimed the wasteland while observing mourning.
I wonder what is planted in this field? I don’t know if it can match his status as an official.”
The master personally took people to measure the land, "The place is remote and deep in the mountains. If it is too small, it may be eaten by wild animals in the mountains.
But the boys in Lord Gu's family were very careful and surrounded that area with wooden stakes.
But the crops planted in that field were so small that I had never seen anything like it before.
I asked Butler Xu out of curiosity, and Butler Xu said that it was the Second Young Master who did it himself. "
"Oh, that land is also registered in the name of the Second Young Master?"
The master nodded, "That's right, that's what I'm wondering too. Could it be that Master Gu wants his second son to be a farmer in the future?"
Many large families would give some farmland to their children if they disliked them to support their children.
But Lord Gu is different. He has only two legitimate sons, and Madam Gu has a large family and wealth. This time, she actually registered a few acres of land under the name of her second son. This in itself is abnormal.
County Magistrate Gao also felt that this was unacceptable. He was in this position because of the careful arrangement of others. Things that he couldn't figure out should be left to others to figure out.
When night fell, some people quietly left from the side door of the county government office, unaware that someone was watching them.

As soon as the prince got the evidence, Hua Shunming sentenced the three ministers immediately. However, he showed some mercy and only confiscated their property.
While all the court officials were trying to protect themselves, Hua Shunming directly announced his abdication, named himself the emperor emeritus, and handed the throne directly to the crown prince.
The ministers: “…” They didn’t expect that they would be dealt this blow at the last moment. Their previous plans seemed like a joke.
Hua Shunming sat in the imperial study and sneered, "Everyone wants to have the merit of following the emperor, but they don't think about the fact that the wealth and glory they want is stepping on the blood of our royal family. How can I tolerate them?"
Then he said coldly to the empty imperial study, "Go and hand over all the secrets of these people to the Crown Prince, no, to the new emperor. I want to see if the new emperor, who is already in that position, can take ruthless measures to deal with them."
"As you wish." Then, the imperial study fell into silence again.
Hua Shunming stood up and touched the desk, "Old friend, you have been with me for decades, and it is time for me to say goodbye to you. Stay with the new emperor in the future!
I hope he can be as diligent as I am and stay with you every day."
Hua Shunming thought that he was the most free and easy emperor who could hand over the throne while he was still alive, but when the moment really came, he still felt mixed emotions.
Reluctantly, he touched the desk and flipped through a few memorials. Then he shook his head with a wry smile and said silently, "I still don't accept it."
If his body could bear it, how could he bear to do it?
He staggered towards the gate, and Le San carefully supported him, "Your Majesty, I will see you off."
"Don't call me Your Majesty anymore. I am now the Emperor Emeritus. It's time for me to have a few days of leisure."
Le San smiled and said, "In my heart, no matter you are the emperor or the retired emperor, you are my master."
"You old fellow, you are really loyal. When I have some free time in a couple of days, I will go out and have a look at the yard I prepared for you. Maybe we can even go for a walk in the street.
It's ridiculous. I say this is my kingdom, but I have been in this palace since I was born, and I can see it with my own eyes.
Speaking of which, I envy Gu Wenheng a little. Although I gave him a lot of difficult problems, I also helped him to travel all over the country and understand my country better than this emperor. "
"Why does His Majesty mention this person?" Even after the emperor abdicated, Le San was able to ask with discretion.
"If I could stay on the throne for a few more years, I might become a famous emperor throughout the ages." Hua Shunming looked up at the sky, with some regret in his eyes.
"Your Majesty has done a great job for the people of this world," Le San could not speak in flowery words, but he knew better than anyone else that the emperor really did his best, otherwise the world would not be so peaceful.
"It's still not enough!" Hua Shunming sighed, "But this has nothing to do with me. Take me to see my new residence. Let's move in as soon as possible to avoid being disliked by others."
“Your Majesty…” Even though Le San felt uncomfortable, he had to change his words at this moment, “Grand Emperor, Your Majesty doesn’t dare…”
Hua Shunming got on the carriage and said, "Let's go to the Queen's Palace first..."
"Go to the Queen Mother's Palace," Hua Shunming said, and then he laughed. "It turns out that you are not the only one who is not used to it. I am a little uncomfortable with it too."
Le San lowered his head and let the royal guards set off.

In contrast to the shocked ministers in the court, Gu Wenheng looked calm when he received the news.
Although he had spent a short time with the emperor, from the information he had collected and his own experiences over the years, Gu Wenheng had some understanding of his choices.
It has to be said that as an emperor, being able to make such a choice is a rare example of an enlightened emperor.
Even if it is for the purpose of stabilizing the court, this is extremely rare.
Jin Qianqian was a little worried, but she joked, "You've changed your boss without realizing it. I don't know if this new boss is easy to get along with."
Gu Wenheng, "Don't be too optimistic. To be honest, I like the temperament of the retired emperor, but I'm not sure about the new emperor."
Now that there was no one around, the two of them spoke without restraint.
Jin Qianqian, "But what's wrong?"
Gu Wenheng, “Compared to the emperor, he is still a little indecisive.
I heard that at that time, it had been discovered that the three ministers were corrupt, and the investigation was somewhat relaxed due to the intercession of their staff.
Later, it was the Emperor who took action to implement this matter.”
"Then the Emperor..."
Gu Wenheng, "Are you asking why the throne was passed to him?"
Jin Qianqian nodded. If this happened to her, she would definitely think carefully instead of making such a sudden decision.
