Chapter 292: Duke Min loses more than he gains
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, all industries and sectors generally resumed work.

The first batch of goods that Xiao Yingchun ordered online after the New Year has also arrived.

The warehouse is two hundred square meters and is filled to the brim in a day.

Uncle counted until he felt dizzy.

Fortunately, he was careful in his work and used a small notebook to record everything clearly.

After receiving the goods, my uncle immediately called an excavator to come and dig the ground.

There had been some farming here before, so the soil is relatively clean, without any big tree roots or rocks.

After the excavator finished digging, the uncle called the migrant workers who had been hired before the New Year and the villagers from the relocated village to come and work.

Something strange happened.

The first question that the villagers who were relocated asked was: "Can we get paid daily?"

"When will the wages be paid?"

It’s easy to understand when someone asks this question.

What’s weird is that all three people in the urban village asked the same question.

The uncle was curious: "Are you short of money?"

Aunt Liu Guifang was quick-witted and told her uncle the news she had heard.

"Some people say that Xiao Yingchun's investment failed and he has no money now. He can't even pay us for the work he's doing."

Xiao Qigui was furious!

He had no position to argue with anyone, so he just asked, "Who said that?"

Liu Guifang hesitated for a moment, then sold out the person completely: "It's Yingchun's aunt Ge Chunyu..."

Xiao Yingchun did not visit her aunt, uncle, and grandparents for the New Year this year. Everyone assumed that it was because "Xiao Yingchun had no money" and was too embarrassed to visit them.

It just so happened that everyone was afraid that Xiao Yingchun would ask them to borrow money during the New Year, so everyone pretended to be stupid and no one asked why Xiao Yingchun didn't come to pay New Year's greetings.

Ge Chunyu was even more gloating.

Just say that the little girl is not thinking clearly?
I lent the little money from the demolition compensation to my own family, so that at least I could have a good reputation.

But she refused to do it, and threw everything back to the mountain. That was not enough, she also had to borrow money from everywhere!

Now, I must be in debt!
Ge Chunyu felt relieved, so he took the opportunity of New Year's greetings to spread the word that Xiao Yingchun was "ignorant and stupid".

Huangshan is such a small place that acquaintances soon got to know each other.

The villagers in the urban villages also formed groups, and after hearing the news, they all became wary.

After all, no one wants to work hard and not get paid...

Xiao Qigui was so angry that he fell backwards!

It doesn't matter if others are just making up stories, but her aunt is at least a legitimate relative, how could she say such irresponsible things? !
No wonder others believed it: Who would tell lies to their own people?
He didn't say much, hung up the phone and went to find Xiao Yingchun.

Xiao Yingchun laughed out of anger!

She didn't want to argue with anyone, so she just told her uncle: "Anyone who comes to work can be paid on a daily basis."

"As long as the work is done, you can get paid on the same day."

Xiao Qigui went away holding back his anger.

The next morning, the back mountain became noisy.

My uncle and aunt came early.

My uncle assigned tasks to everyone, and after the assignment, they looked after the warehouse and received the goods.

After counting the people, my aunt-in-law rode her tricycle to buy vegetables and then came back to cook.

Accompanied by Fu Chenan, Xiao Yingchun went to the hospital to create a medical card.

Because the B-ultrasound report showed that she was pregnant with twins, Xiao Yingchun was listed as a high-risk pregnant woman and would be given priority in certain examinations.

Drawing blood, checking various indicators... After a busy round, the doctor looked at the young and beautiful couple in front of him and envied them. I wonder what the children born by such a good-looking couple will look like?
"Although your pregnancy is high-risk, you are both young and in good health, so you don't have to worry about any problems."

"Just take care of the pregnancy peacefully and give birth when the time comes..."

After coming out of the hospital, Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan both felt a little unreal: they were actually going to be parents!

Fu Chenan looked at the B-ultrasound report over and over again, as if he wanted to see the child's future appearance through the black and white image, and he laughed so hard that people were silly.

The two returned to Wolong Villa. Fu Chenan went to get the food first and ate with Xiao Yingchun. He let her have a good nap before he went to Tianwu Palace.

In the Tianwu Palace.

Emperor Tianwu looked at the ultrasound report in a daze.

"You mean, these two black spots are my grandchildren?"

Fu Chenan nodded, his face full of joy: "How is it? Is this your first time meeting?"

Emperor Tianwu felt both novel and strange: "Of course this is the first time I've seen it..."

This thing can actually see directly through the skin and flesh? !

This kind of... technology? Isn't it amazing?
Emperor Tianwu felt fortunate: that place had all kinds of high-tech stuff, and they were willing to provide support to him and his son, and provided so many things that could help him win the battle.

If it weren't for Xiao Yingchun, how could it be so easy to get it? !

After thinking it over, Emperor Tianwu looked at Fu Chenan with a sincere expression: "An'er, Dad was not thoughtful enough about the previous matter."

"Dad, let me make my point now. No one is more important than Miss Xiao."

"Anything related to Miss Xiao's safety, everyone and everything must give way to Miss Xiao."

"Dad will never force you to do anything that would hurt Miss Xiao..."

Fu Chenan nodded, knowing that his father was a roundabout way of apologizing, so he didn't care: "Is there any new change in the court today?"

He accompanied Xiao Yingchun to the hospital to register for a medical card today and did not attend the first small morning meeting after the New Year.

There was a small court meeting on the eighth day of the first lunar month in the Tianwu reign. Officials who had matters to report could go to court to report on the situation, and officials who had nothing to do could ask for leave.

The formal court meeting will not begin until the fifteenth day.

When talking about this, Fu Zhonghai laughed strangely: "Duke Min can't hold it back anymore."

He asked Lu Daban to tell Fu Chenan about what happened during the court session.

Lu Daban immediately stepped forward and began to explain with great excitement and emotion.

It turned out that Duke Min Guo estimated that the salt reserves of the people would be almost used up after the Chinese New Year, so he proposed to stop production at the salt mine in the court today.

Fu Zhonghai wanted to chop Duke Min with a knife when he saw that he seemed to be terrified on the surface but actually wanted to laugh at the joke.

But Fu Zhonghai held back.

"Since Duke Min is unable to manage the salt mine, and the old craftsmen are now missing, let's send someone else to manage the salt mine."

Duke of Min:!!!

He couldn't believe his ears.

When something like this happened, shouldn't the emperor first solve the problem of the people having no salt to eat, and then solve the issue of who would be in charge?
Why is he doing it the other way around?
But then Emperor Tianwu called out the Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue, asking the Ministry of Works to send craftsmen to take over the production of the salt mine, and the Ministry of Revenue to send people to take charge of management...

Is he serious? !

He was panicking and began to kneel down to beg, saying that he was willing to make amends for his crime and to find an experienced craftsman as soon as possible...

The Minister of Industry knelt on the ground and kowtowed, reporting: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry trained more than 20 craftsmen a few years ago. They learned the latest salt-making method and can make fine salt that is whiter than the current green salt..."

As he spoke, the Minister of Works asked someone to bring out a bowl of fine salt.

The fine salt looks white and delicate, with a slight bluish hue, but it looks much better than the coarse salt sold to ordinary people on the market.

Fu Zhonghai looked at the fine salt and waved his hand: "Let everyone have a taste."

"Here."
