Bai Shan was quite puzzled, "Why does the Ministry of Revenue need to go through Hejian Prince to purchase land? Wouldn't it be more convenient to buy it themselves?"
The Left Assistant Minister smiled gently and replied, "Because if Minister Li handles it, it will be cheaper."
That's how ridiculous it is, but what can you do?
Bai Shan had a good relationship with the son of the Minister of Revenue, so the Left Assistant Minister was happy to sell him some information, but not much else.
But this was enough to shock Bai Shan. It turned out that the feud between Minister Li and the Zheng Family had long existed and originated from a land dispute;
It turned out that the land Minister Li bought in Qizhou wasn't for himself but for the Ministry of Revenue, which, rounding off, was for the emperor, so in fact, the feud wasn't between Minister Li and the Zheng Family, but between the emperor and the Zheng Family.
