Chapter 198: Do you want money?

Although there were men's hobbies in ancient times, they were still niches and not the aesthetics of the masses. When they had such a choice, Su Zhiyuan was not surprised.

With Su Zhiyuan's help, the two servants still chose to stay for the time being. For them, they could not find Chen Siqing and there was no good place to go.

However, Su Zhiyuan was also surprised. Shouldn’t I, a dignified person to receive foreign guests, recruit more people? I can’t even pick up these two servants.

For Mr. Su, since he stayed, he would start instilling a correct value in them and strive to get them back to the category of normal people, not living in his original space.

"Do you know what the meaning of our Honglu Temple exists?" Su Zhiyuan asked gently.

The two attendants sat on the side, shaking their heads.

Su Zhiyuan sighed: "My Tang Dynasty is a great country, and it is also a country of the Celestial Kingdom. When other tribes and other countries come to us, we naturally have to treat each other with courtesy, because we are a country of etiquette. We are responsible for receiving and entertaining these envoys from foreign races, which not only represents the dignity of our Tang Dynasty, but also represents the image of the Tang Dynasty. To be honest, we should have a great sense of responsibility and mission. You should not be so dying and lack vitality. Besides, you young children who are only in their teens should be passionate about life and life."

The blue-clothed servant held his cheeks with his hands and said, "Mr. Su, anyone can say these big words."

This sentence made Su Zhiyuan not vomit out blood. I thought about it for a long time. As a result, anyone would say this, it really hurts my self-esteem. By the way, I am still your boss. Can't you respect me and save me some face?

As soon as the attendant in blue clothes finished speaking, the attendant in yellow clothes also started to speak: "That's right, if we are a great country, why are there only a few of us in such a big Honglu Temple? Why doesn't the Ministry of Revenue allocate more money for us? It's not just us who eat and drink here. If foreigners come, they might want some delicacies?"

Perhaps because of this resonance, Lan Qiqi hurriedly said, "Sir, don't say that we are a country of etiquette. How many princesses have been married to the Tang Dynasty over the years? Is there still a face in the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Kingdom? It would be fine if the foreigner had only one wife, but the foreigner had three wives and four concubines, even if the princess married, it might not be the real wife. We are not blind and can see these things."

Su Zhiyuan knew that the Tang Dynasty had a lot of embellishments, but others could see what these two children could see, and what they said was true.

"The problems are always solved step by step, and there is no need to be too pessimistic. I am your boss, and I will ask the Ministry of Revenue for money. In addition, don't tell others what you said. If you are interested, it will be bad. You are busy, I will do something first."

The last sentence made the two servants feel warm. In their opinion, perhaps this boss is really outstanding, after all, this is the first temple minister they know who dares to ask for money from the Ministry of Revenue.

They were also right. It was true that the new and old boss went to ask for money and was on his way to the Ministry of Revenue.

In Su Zhiyuan's opinion, he had every reason to ask for money. Fifty taels of silver a month were enough. Maybe not to mention raising three people, it was enough to raise thirty people. However, this is the Honglu Temple, a unit that requires twelve taels of silver. A few hundred taels of silver a year is not enough. Even if it is to repair the yard, it will cost a lot of money, let alone take care of the flowers and plants in the yard.

Su Zhiyuan knew that he had at least one card, that was, that he had the right to report. Maybe others regarded the position of the temple minister as a minister, but Su Zhiyuan knew that he wanted to go further and could only start from here. This was his only springboard. The most important thing was that he knew that Li Linfu was already a third-rank official in the court. This was not good news. Su Zhiyuan always had a feeling that history was ahead of time. If Li Linfu was favored in advance, he would definitely value foreigners. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would be addicted to pleasure and ignore the government. The Tang Dynasty was about to finish playing. Thinking of this, Su Zhiyuan felt a little worried.

I soon arrived at the place where the Sixth Ministry was located. The comments I had prepared on the road just now, but I had forgotten them all at this time. Su Zhiyuan felt like he was about to be confused.

After thinking about it briefly, Su Zhiyuan went directly to the Sixth Office.

Strange, why didn't anyone stop me just now? Did they know that I was a court official? Su Zhiyuan was secretly excited. In fact, the guards went to the toilet. Su was just a gap invisibly.

I saw an office study next to me and went in directly.

Sure enough, there were a group of officials working in it, but when you read the official service, you knew that you did not have the higher position of your own. That was the same level as the minister here, and the ministers were one level higher than him.

"I'll come to you, Minister of Revenue or your Minister of Revenue."

No one pays attention to him!

Su Zhiyuan took a deep breath and was about to get angry: "My decent Honglu Temple is a unit representing the face of the Tang Dynasty. Why do you only give a few hundred taels a year? I'll come to your Ministry of Revenue to ask for an explanation. Do you know who I am? I am the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a fourth-rank official of the court! Where is your Minister of Revenue? Call him out!"

The other officials looked at Su Zhiyuan like a fool, and another person spoke: "What are you yelling around? This is the Ministry of War. The Ministry of Revenue is opposite. I don't know if I went wrong in the place, and I still get angry with the scholars?"

Su Zhiyuan turned around and saw that the words "Ministry of Revenue" were indeed written on the door sign, which made him advance and retreat. He could only leave the sentence "Sorry" and turn around and leave the Ministry of War.

"This person is really interesting. A small fourth-rank deposed official dares to come here to clamor? I hope to see how the people from the Ministry of Revenue repaired him." The tone was full of gloating.

The others also agreed: "I'm waiting to watch the show. I'm bored every day, so I've got something to do."

Su Zhiyuan arrived at the Ministry of Revenue and was not in a hurry to get angry. He first looked at the house number, turned around and put it into the bottom before entering.

"Is it the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Yes, yes, you?" There were also several tables, many books and papers, and approvals issued by the court. A literati looked up and replied.

"I am here to ask for money in the temple minister of Honglu Temple." Su Zhiyuan learned his lesson and planned to adapt to the situation.

"What was the sentence you asked just now?" the official inside asked again.

"Are you the Ministry of Revenue?" Su Zhiyuan repeated again in a daze.

"We're not!"

"I actually just want some money." Su Zhiyuan pretended to be timid.

"No, no money!"
