As soon as you walk through the gate, you feel something different. Look at the pavilions, pavilions, and carved railings and jade pillars. There is a message everywhere: rich, thieves are rich.
It will be easier if you have money... Ye Bing felt that Xi Ning, who was walking in front, suddenly became more energetic and felt eager to try.
This time it's not the living room, but directly to the study. Seeing Wu Shangshu, after bowing to him, Wu Shangshu placed his wrist on the desk.
Xining did not go over to take a pulse, but stood there and said, "There is no need to check the pulse. Master Shangshu is uneasy because of excessive worries."
However, Wu Shangshu was not surprised at all: "I don't know what a good solution is. Please give me some advice from the little miracle doctor."
Ye Bing, who was carrying the medicine box on his back, lowered his head. Hehe, it’s this sentence again, I’ve said it five times, and it works every time. It’s tried and true.
"Well~" Xining said in a long tone, twitching his thumb with his index and middle fingers.
Ye Bing is simply unbearable! This time was different from the previous four times. I asked for money directly and openly. He even pretended to twist the banknotes, which means he was asking for a lot of money.
Wu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, but then he understood and winked to the side. The staff member waiting next to him immediately took out a banknote and walked over.
The look of this staff member made Xi Ning a little unhappy. What expression, why are you so disdainful? It seems that your job as a military advisor is voluntary labor and does not require any money. No one is nobler than the other, and you are helping a corrupt official, while my sister is helping a wise man. There is a fundamental difference.
When the banknote was handed to him, Xining glanced at it and saw that it was fifty taels.
She gave an obvious sneer, raised her head, and squinted her eyes: "The adult's illness is incurable for me, so I only need to pay a fifty-tael consultation fee."
Fifty taels is not enough? Wu Shangshu frowned.
Ye Bing opened his mouth and said, "The little miraculous doctor's consultation fee is 50 taels, the doctor's treatment is 1000 taels, and the life saved is 10,000 taels. The current Holy One was diagnosed and treated by the little miraculous doctor at that time, which was only 10,000 taels."
The air was unusually condensed, as if time had stood still.
When Xining counted to three, he bowed and said goodbye: "My daughter's abilities are limited. You can go to the Medicine God Valley for medical treatment. I'll take my leave first." After that, he turned around and left.
The staff were dumbfounded now, and they were not that crazy. Even the imperial physician in the palace smiled at Wu Shangshu.
Before he could cross the threshold of the study, Wu Shangshu shouted: "Little miracle doctor, please stay!"
Xining stopped but did not turn around. He quickly brought the banknote over, otherwise there would be no need to turn around again and waste energy and time.
Sure enough, the staff quickly walked up to him and presented a stack of banknotes with both hands. The first one was one hundred taels.
That's pretty much it. Xi Ning took the banknotes lightly with one hand and started counting them. This move made the three people present feel like they were just a little money-crazy.
Not only did he count them, he also picked up one and looked at the light outside the door. After confirming that it was correct, he folded it, stuffed it into his arms, turned around and walked to the chair next to him to sit down.
After spending a thousand taels of silver, the spectrum was so grand that ordinary people would kneel down in fear even when they saw a ninth-grade county magistrate. For this reason, this little miracle doctor was no ordinary creature.
Then Wu Shangshu shouted: "Serve tea!"
Xining did not refuse, the tea was brought immediately and she took a sip. Well, yes, Yunding contains green, it is a tribute, but it is different. ….
After moistening his throat, he began to say: "The Ministry of Industry has submitted a letter to build the river embankment. The Ministry of Household Affairs can't come up with the two hundred thousand taels of silver, so it keeps crying about poverty. Now in the national treasury, there is only one hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver." The annual expenditure last year and the year before that was 1.3 million taels, which means that even if the embankments are not repaired, many places will have to tighten expenditures this year."
Wu Shangshu listened quietly, telling the truth, and indeed there was some information. I hope this thousand taels of silver is not spent unjustly, otherwise starting from tomorrow, the promises of her impeachment will fly into the palace like snowflakes. Every time she was mentioned in court, she was accused of accepting bribes, blackmailing officials, and causing harm to the country and the people!
"There have been several reports to impeach Shangshu Wu for corruption and fraud. The Holy One has sent people to check the treasury and various expenditures. There are no major problems in the Ministry of Revenue; on the contrary, the Ministry of Industry is... impressive."
The conversation changed and Wu Shangshu was frightened. But he still insisted: "All expenditures of the Ministry of Industry are clear. If you don't believe me, just come and check."
account. "
There was a hint of contempt on Xi Ning's lips: "Many tricks are useless in the eyes of the accounting clerk and stewards of Huoyun Villa, and soon the palace will bear the brunt. Although the account book is made to be worth a copper plate, an egg can cost five Ten cents, three cents for a cabbage, probably Mr. Wu, who is far away in the kitchen, understands what's going on, right? However, the Holy Sage has just taken office, and he doesn't want to cause too much conflict, but his patience is limited, especially because he is short of money. At that time. Many people in charge of purchasing in the palace will be in trouble if they don’t cough up the money.”
Wu Shangshu remained silent, but his expression was extremely ugly.
Xi Ning took out a small book and read to it: "Wu Deyong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has eleven properties in his name, with an area of 537 acres. After he was appointed Minister, seven properties of his wives, concubines or clan members were included. Place, farm property..."
He stopped reading here and then put on a meaningful smile: "Wu Shangshu, not counting the money in the bank and private treasury, these properties alone are enough for future generations to use for nine lifetimes."
The sentence "nine lifetimes" made Wu Shangshu's brows jump. What came to his mind was a punishment - "kill the nine tribes."
To return the money in the bank and private treasury, is it possible that the Holy Admiral has checked all his money?
"Think about what Huoyun Villa has done before. It has been favored by the late Emperor and His Majesty, and a businessman has also been reused. I hope Mr. Wu can make a decision early and don't wait for the Holy One to run out of money and be desperate to make a dangerous move. Then It’s too late to regret it.”
Having said this, Xining picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp: "This cup goes well with tea." He put down the cup, bowed and left.
When he left, Wu Shangshu was in a daze, probably stunned, but he didn't react at all, his eyes were fixed.
When I got on the carriage, the staff rushed over and said, "Little miracle doctor, please stay."
Stuffing a gift box, the staff member lost his previous contempt and smiled with a smile on his face: "The master saw that the little miracle doctor is a tea lover, so he specially asked me to bring the tea set and tea set. I hope the little miracle doctor won't dislike it."
"Oh, why are you so polite!" Xining said. With a glance, Ye Bing next to him took the gift box knowingly.
The staff bowed their heads and lowered their voices: "Please ask the little miraculous doctor to come in front of the Holy Lord..."
"It's easy to talk about." Xining looked very generous, almost without patting his chest: "Since I have accepted the consultation fee, I will naturally get the things done. But please give Mr. Wu some advice. Everything is external and insignificant in the end. Your health is the most important thing."
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes: "That's natural. Thank you to the little miracle doctor for the advice. Thank you very much."
He politely put her on the carriage and still stood there, bowing respectfully and saying goodbye.
After Xining got in the car, he opened the gift box and saw that it was the teacup he had just drank from, but the other three were packed together. There is also a small porcelain jar. When you open the lid, the aroma of tea leaves immediately wafts out, just like the tea you just brewed.
Ye Bing was really convinced. He extorted a thousand taels of silver, plus a set of four cups of Shanghao official kiln tea sets and a box of good tea leaves, and still had to apologize. And her monthly silver is only 5 taels. It used to be a lot, but now it seems that it is just a drop in the bucket. Is it more profitable to study medicine than to sell martial arts? 39314792.
