"Some people don't believe in evil! If you eat too much, something will happen. If you eat too little, nothing will happen. Look at those nobles who eat less, but they are fine. They are still in high spirits all day long, as happy as gods." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said.

, snorted coldly and said, "Let's see what consequences chronic poisoning will bring."

"Okay, no problem. I'll ask Sixi to feed him less every day." Chen Zhongyuan responded readily, "But how much is appropriate? We don't understand this either."

"A little bit about the size of a mung bean!" Hong Lianshuo thought for a while and said, "To be honest, I don't know much about it. How about testing it? Let's try it!"

"Okay! Then let's try more." Chen Zhongyuan said with a smile.

"I'm leaving." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said.

Chen Zhongyuan and the others bowed and watched her leave.

"By the way, I want to ask you something?" Hong Lianshuo found Han Qinhu and Lin Nanzheng.

"What's the matter?" Han Qinhu looked at her with brown eyes and said.

"Are any of our people serving as government officials?" Hong Lianshuo asked, looking at the two of them eagerly.

"Working officer?" Lin Nanzheng smiled and said, "This one has some overlap with Mr. Cao."

"Isn't Mr. Cao in Mincao?" Hong Lianshuo said in surprise, and then asked, "What is Mincao in charge of?"

"In the Western Han Dynasty, officials were in charge of petitions to the people. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, they were in charge of civil engineering, repairs, construction of jails, gardens, and banditry." Lin Nanzheng said roughly.

After his explanation, this mincao was equivalent to the household department in later generations, commonly known as the money bag.

"Where's the work officer?" Hong Lianshuo asked, looking at the two of them with eyes like glass beads without blinking.

She can't even figure out her official position now and really doesn't have time.

"The highest official official position was called Sikong. After the Han Dynasty, Sikong became a vacant position. He was replaced by General, who was responsible for the construction of ancestral temples, road dormitories, palaces, and cemeteries. From the Qin Dynasty to the Western Han Dynasty, he was called General Shaofu.

After the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was changed to a master craftsman, who was in charge of the country's civil construction projects and farmland, water conservancy, mountains and rivers, boats and vehicles, ceremonial guards, ordnance and other public works." Han Qinhu simply introduced, "What do you want?

Craftsmen can be found within the control of the work officer."

Hong Lianshuo was suddenly surprised when he heard this. The so-called work officer was the Ministry of Works!

"What's the specifics?" Hong Lianshuo looked at the two of them and asked again.

"You'd better ask Mr. Cao about this. The work officer and the civil servant overlap." Lin Nanzheng said quickly after hearing this, and then added, "I remembered that Mr. Cao once worked as a work officer."

"Let's go then!" Hong Lianshuo strode toward Cao Huaimin's house.

Han Qinhu and Lin Nanzheng looked at each other, they were too anxious!

You may not be able to catch up even if you run along.

"Why does Mrs. Hong care so much about the work officer?" Lin Nanzheng looked at him very curiously and asked.

"How do I know this?" Han Qinhu spread his hands and looked at him and said.

"These craftsmen are all making exquisite utensils for the emperor." Lin Nanzheng frowned slightly and looked at him and said, "Exquisite skills are good, but they are very luxurious and expensive." He lowered his voice and said, "Historical books

Records: During the reign of Emperor Han Yuan, there were thousands of officials and workers in the three counties of Qi each, which cost hundreds of millions a year. Gold and silverware in Shu County and Guanghan County each cost 5 million a year.

The officials and the two weavers each spent 50 million a year. In the late Western Han Dynasty, my officials repeatedly suggested saving and abolishing certain workers and officials or their products, but the effect was not great."

"You remember it clearly." Han Qinhu looked at him with light brown eyes and said.

"Am I not in charge of military supplies? I know something about this." Lin Nanzheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him with a pair of phoenix eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not doing it for my own enjoyment." Hong Lianshuo slowed down and looked back at them and said, his dark eyes shining brightly in the rising sun.

Lin Nanzheng was a little embarrassed, being caught in the act, "Of course I believe Madam Hong, Madam Hong is dedicated to the people."

"You are so blunt in your flattery." Hong Lianshuo looked at him with smiling black eyes and teased, "If you can make such exquisite utensils, why don't you sell them!"

"You dare to sell royal utensils! You will beheaded." Han Qinhu heard this and scratched his neck with his index finger, "The utensils made by these workers are all for the royal family, used for rewards and the needs of the government and the army.

Although some of it is sold, except for salt and iron, very little else is sold."

"Eh! No wonder these days are getting harder and poorer as time goes by. I don't know how to change money while guarding my treasure." Hong Lianshuo curled his lips in disgust.

"Royal prestige is more important than anything else." Han Qinhu looked at her with a straight face and said.

"You have to suffer to save face." Hong Lianshuo rolled his eyes gracefully and said, "I must not be able to taste enough of being short of money."

"How is that possible?" Lin Nanzheng said as he walked, "Not to mention the far ones, but the nearby ones. The previous dynasty was so poor that they could hardly afford to support the army. The ordnance was directly tampered with."

"From a large dynasty to a small family, the first thing to collapse is lack of money." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with raised eyebrows and said, "Nothing can be done without money. A penny can stump a heroic man!"

Han Qinhu said with concern, "It's true that if you tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and eat what you eat, you will have no money!"

"Brother Qinhu, I understand this tone deeply." Lin Nanzheng looked at him in surprise and said.

"Oh! Life was really difficult in the early days after my father left!" Han Qinhu said calmly as he walked.

"How is that possible? The emperor is not here to appease you. He rewards you one after another." Lin Nanzheng said as he looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"It's flashy!" Han Qinhu snorted, "Can the emperor's reward be exchanged for money?"

"Uh...that can't be done!" Lin Nanzheng said sheepishly, crossing the bridge of his nose with his index finger.

"The Han family is raising soldiers again, and they need real food and grass." Han Qinhu said extremely calmly, clenching his fists, "The emperor promised food here..."

"What's wrong? I remembered to add more for you." Lin Nanzheng suddenly remembered and looked at him and said.

"Yes! Everyone knows that it has increased, but who knows the actual situation?" Han Qinhu squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "There is a big difference between the rich and the poor in this fiefdom." He closed his eyes and said,

"Raising soldiers is like a gold-swallowing monster like Pixiu. It can only get in but not get out."

"When you say that, you are ascending and descending secretly!" Lin Nanzheng looked at him in disbelief and said, "What outsiders see is the generosity of the emperor, and he does not condemn him! The Han family did not follow the royal family and leave and decline, but the emperor

More grace." He smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, tsk... insidious, so insidious! It's really a mute who can't tell how hard it is to eat Coptis chinensis."

"The Han family almost didn't survive." Han Qinhu said with lingering fear.
