The group of people almost vomited blood, their faces turning red and white.
Han Sanqian's eyes twitched.
Lin Bai didn't take it seriously at all. He looked familiar and said, "It's just a joke. Sirs, please don't mind."
Han Sanqian suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "Now that Mr. Lin is here, I don't know how to raise the disaster relief money. Your Majesty asked us to cooperate with Mr. Lin. If you have any orders, please tell me."
Are you losing your temper now?
Lin Bai smiled and said, "In this case, I'm not polite. I'd like to trouble Mr. Han to prepare all the account books of the household department."
Han Sanqian just said this casually, never expecting that Lin Bai would dare to order him to do things.
After all, his official position was greater than that of Lin Bai.
However, Lin Bai acted according to the order, and everyone in the household department had to cooperate. Now that he had spoken, he really couldn't refuse.
"good!"
Immediately, he had to grit his teeth and said.
Lin Bai ignored them, hugged everyone, and went to pay homage to the pier.
The dock of Hubu is naturally Yang Guozhong, the minister of Hubu.
At this moment, his face was ugly. As a cabinet minister, it was natural for His Majesty to understand the purpose of this move, that is, he must see the money.
But the Ministry of Finance has no money at all. Where can we get money?
I can only make a fuss about the account.
As the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, he would naturally be involved if there was a problem with his accounts.
If it's a small problem, it doesn't matter, but how much money can be made from a small problem? It cannot solve the disaster in Hedong at all, so it can only be a big problem.
Because Hedong needs a lot of silver.
And if it is a big problem, it will be difficult for him, the Minister of Household Affairs, to keep it, so at this moment, he is racking his brains to think of ways to get money.
"I've met Mr. Yang."
At this time, Lin Bai walked in.
Yang Guozhong came to his senses and said with a smile: "The Number One Scholar is here! Sit down quickly! You're welcome, there are no outsiders here."
He was very enthusiastic, with a hint of flattery, and said sarcastically: "Your Majesty asked the Number One Scholar to raise money for disaster relief, but what are your plans?"
Lin Bai was a little flattered.
So enthusiastic! He immediately replied: "I just wanted to ask Mr. Yang for advice."
Yang Guozhong said helplessly: "If I can find a way, your Majesty will not need to send the number one scholar here. The Ministry of Revenue really can't get the money."
After speaking, he paused and asked, "Your Majesty, doesn't he have any explanation?"
Lin Bai replied: "Of course there is, but the Queen is kind to her subordinates, and the Seventh Princess..."
Lao Zhu asked him to be a villain.
Lin Bai didn't want to think that it would be delicious to eat soft rice and cause so many troubles.
If you are an ordinary person, forget it. If you really offend Uncle Guo, you will not be able to live in the future.
The fourth prince is currently the most popular candidate for the crown prince. The Queen is also kind to him. Xiao Qi is still helping to repair the house.
The old emperor asked him to poach him, and he did this.
Yang Guozhong's eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately asked: "Then the number one scholar asked Mr. Han to prepare the account book?"
"Oh! Look at him being idle and bored, find something for him to do." m.
Lin Bai said casually.
Yang Guozhong was startled for a moment, and the corners of his eyes twitched. This was a public revenge, and it was so blatant, it was simply...
If it was in the past, he would give the other party a thumbs up, but he wouldn't be in that mood now.
"Your Majesty wants money, and you can't fool him like this."
Lin Bai thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Yang, I wonder how much money the household department still has?"
Yang Guozhong said: "To be honest, the number one scholar, the cash in the household department is less than 500,000 taels."
grass!
so little?
A country only has so much money? I guess it’s not as big as the Iron Lady’s treasury, right?
Lao Zhu is the emperor.
Lin Bai asked again: "How much money is needed to alleviate the disaster in Hedong?"
"There is no fixed number for this, naturally the more the better."
Yang Guozhong thought for a while, "However, until the autumn harvest disaster is alleviated, at least five million taels will be needed. This is still a conservative estimate."
Five million taels! It's a full ten times worse.
Tsk tsk! !
Lin Bai couldn't help but clicked his tongue. How many officials' homes would be ransacked?
Small officials are not good enough, they must be big tigers, otherwise they will not be able to fill this hole.
"Master Yang, don't you have some ideas?"
Yang Guozhong looked at Lin Bai, with a fox-like smile on his lips, "There is no way, it just depends on whether the number one scholar is willing to speak."
Lin Bai felt a little bad, but still asked: "What should I say?"
Yang Guozhong said: "The only one who can offer so much money right now is the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the number one scholar is willing to speak to the seventh princess, then he will definitely..."
your sister!
No wonder you are so enthusiastic, waiting here,
That damn thing is five million taels. You thought it was five hundred taels and five thousand taels!
Say you want it?
Moreover, you are your uncle, why don’t you ask for it? Let me ask Xiao Qi for five million taels? Crazy?
its not right! Why does this old man think he can get so much money from Xiao Qi?
Brother is so valuable?
"Ahem! Mr. Yang, I'm afraid this is inappropriate! Once money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is misappropriated, the Seventh Princess will only be afraid..."
Yang Guozhong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Number One Scholar, this is just a temporary loan. When the tax money from various places arrives, the Ministry of Household Affairs will have money. By then..."
What a liar!
Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you cheated your niece like this?
Just as Lin Bai was about to refuse, Yang Guozhong said again: "Nephew and son-in-law, you have to help uncle, otherwise he will really be doomed."
"The seventh princess grew up under my uncle's watch..."
? ?
Lin Bai looked confused and his eyes widened.
You are a minister, a cabinet minister, what about your image? Do you still want face?
Yang Guozhong said that face was nothing, Wusha was not worth anything, he pretended to be pitiful, and said all his nice things, Lin Bai couldn't sit still.
He could finally see that this was a shameless person, even more shameless than him.
"Well, Mr. Yang, how about I go first..."
Lin Bai was ready to run away.
Yang Guozhong was not willing to agree, and he was still saying good things. He looked so sad and shed tears. It was not until Lin Bai agreed to find a way to get money that he let him go.
"Sir, will the number one scholar go to the seventh princess?"
At this time, Yang Guozhong returned to his previous appearance, with a smile on his lips.
"Whether he goes or not, at least he doesn't want to find out if it's true. The scholar who has just entered the officialdom has not yet darkened his heart and values his feelings, so he probably won't go to war."
"But Your Majesty wants money. If the money is not collected, this matter will never be finished."
The attendant asked: "What should we do?"
Yang Guozhong frowned. If he knew what to do, he would have done it a long time ago, "If it really doesn't work, I can only ask the Queen to find a solution to the Seventh Princess."
There is one thing Yang Guozhong did not lie about. At present, only the Ministry of Internal Affairs has this ability.
"Will the No. 1 Scholar have a solution? He doesn't seem worried, and he has no intention of checking the accounts. How could he be like this if he wasn't confident?"
Hearing this, Yang Guozhong's eyes lit up slightly.
Does he really have a way?
wrong! That's five million taels. Even if the other party is talented, he can't make money!
…
Some people died, but not completely...
