"Hmph! I can give you a chance to redeem yourself and make meritorious service." Jiuli looked at the Minister of Household Affairs.
The eyes of Shangshu Hube suddenly showed hope. He looked at Jiuli.
"Since you lent the money, it's up to you to take it back. I'll give you half a month. If you can't take it back... then I think you've been sitting in this position for a long time... Haha. But I don't think so either.
If he makes things difficult for you, Xiaobai, just be responsible for assisting him."
Since the Minister of Hubu is a subordinate of Ye Qingsong, wouldn't it be better to let them bite each other like dogs?
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who was originally full of hope, saw the expression on his face replaced by fear when he heard Jiuli's words. Asking him to collect the money? What's the difference between this and killing him? How could he collect it?
"Any comments?" Jiuli looked at the Minister of Household Affairs.
"I... obey your order." Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance lowered his head in despair.
Because he just saw Xiaobai's expression getting worse. That's right, Xiaobai collapsed instantly when he heard that he was going too... He agreed to go out to play, but it was impossible again.
"Wang Aiqing...don't let me down." After Jiuli said that, he stood up and waved his sleeves to leave.
"Hmph! I really want to kill you!" Xiaobai passed by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and kicked the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. It was this guy who made it impossible for him to play.
In the morning of the next day, Jiuli issued an order for the Minister of Accounts to collect the accounts. The time limit was half a month. Moreover, there was an unknown person collecting the accounts together.
All the ministers were unhappy, and everyone immediately disliked the Minister of Household Affairs.
After the next court session, the Minister of Hubu lowered his head. The other ministers saw that the Minister of Hubu was looking at a broom star and ran away without even saying hello. Everyone was ready to go back and explain to the servants. Here comes the Minister of Hubu.
Never open the door.
Xiaobai followed Jiuli to the morning court, and Prime Minister Ye also saw Xiaobai's appearance. Sure enough, he didn't look like an ordinary eunuch, and he was more certain about yesterday's guess.
"Xiao Bai, you can use some means if necessary. Those are not good people, but be careful and don't let the people talk." After going down to court, Jiuli said to Xiao Bai.
"I know the host. Let's take a look at mine." Xiaobai patted his chest confidently.
After lunch, it was time to go to court early. Xiaobai was called by Jiuli again to review the memorial. After lunch, Xiaobai went to see the Minister of the Ministry of Finance with a look of resentment.
The Minister of Hubu went to see the prime minister as soon as he came to court.
"Prime Minister... what should I do?" Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue looked at the Prime Minister in front of him for help.
"Hmph, I want to see how capable he is of getting the debt back." Prime Minister Ye snorted coldly. He knew best how much they didn't want to pay back the money. They were just four people who had never met before. It was difficult to ask for the debt.
Bigger. He wanted to see how capable Xiaobai was.
"But, Your Majesty said, if I can't get it back in half a month, I will be doomed." The Minister of Hubu cares more about his own life.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. But this eunuch Bai is not simple. You can also observe him for me." Prime Minister Ye gave the Minister of Revenue a reassuring look.
"Okay, Prime Minister."
After receiving these words from Prime Minister Ye, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was relieved. This was his purpose.
So I calmed down my heart and went back to wait for Xiaobai's arrival.
Xiaobai came with a stack of bills and sat down on the chair to eat snacks without any ceremony.
"Lord Bai, do you think? Whose house should we go to first?" Shangshu looked at Xiaobai with a flattering look. No matter how powerful he is, he is still an ordinary person. This Xiaobai has martial arts skills at first glance. He can't
Offended Xiaobai,
"I'm not going anywhere." Xiaobai's answer was completely beyond the expectations of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.
"Ah? What does Master Bai mean?" Shangshu Hubu was completely confused about Xiao Bai's thoughts.
"Let's go out and give porridge to the people first." Xiaobai looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and said.
"Giving porridge? Oh oh. Okay." Shangshu nodded in confusion. He had no idea what this novice was going to do.
Just going to give soup? How is that possible? Xiaobai paid for it out of his own pocket as soon as he went out. Oh, no. It was Jiuli's pocket.
Xiaobai gave porridge to the people. After a while, a long queue formed. The people now had difficulty eating. When they heard that they were giving porridge, and it was ordered by the emperor, they all came quickly.
"Why did the Emperor think of giving porridge today?" some people in the crowd asked curiously,
"Humph, who knows. Maybe he exploited our people too much in normal times. Today, he has a conscience?" I have to say that the original owner's reputation in the eyes of the people has been extremely bad.
"I think the emperor's reputation is too bad. Maybe the ministers are dissatisfied with him, so the emperor must want to accumulate a good reputation." Someone said.
"I think so. But what the heck. Don't give up the free porridge for free." The most important thing the people care about is whether they can eat enough. They don't care too much about these things.
"Sigh. Today I came out to give porridge to everyone on behalf of His Majesty. Originally, the Emperor wanted to buy some meat for everyone. But now the treasury is in short supply and there is no money at all. Your Majesty said that when he has money, he will definitely treat everyone to eat meat.
." Xiaobai looked distressed.
"Exactly. There is no money in the national treasury? Who can believe it? The taxes have been so high these years. How can there be no money? I think this is the emperor's trick." Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, the people became even more disdainful. There were even some people who were very disdainful.
Complaining loudly.
"That's it. Don't be disgusted with us. We still eat meat. It's good to be full." Someone yelled at Xiaobai loudly,
The Minister of Household Affairs snickered behind him, haha. Is this the ability of this white eunuch? I really thought that the common people were so easy to bribe.
"Sigh. What I told is the truth. If you don't believe me, come and see. These are the money borrowed from the treasury by the ministers. They have borrowed all the money from the treasury. They have never paid back the money. Sigh." Unexpectedly, Xiaobai took out the money.
All the bills were sent to the people to see.
"Everyone, remember to show it to me and return it. Otherwise, you won't receive the money without the bill. Your Majesty won't be able to treat everyone to meat." After handing out the bill, Xiaobai shouted loudly to the crowd.
The Minister of Household Affairs was completely stunned by this operation? Can these people see the bill? What should I do if I lose it? Yes! If I lose it, there is nothing I can do. This stupid eunuch!
Shangshu Hube immediately winked at the servant next to him.
The common people got the bills. The literate people looked at the bills and exclaimed.
"Oh my god... this... so much money can fill my house. It's all... been loaned out. What's that?" People can't imagine how happy they will live with so much money, nor can they imagine
How should I spend so much money?
"Oh my God, these are all officials. Why do they still need to borrow money? They eat meat only a few pigs a day, right?" To the common people, a few pigs are already a terrifying existence.
"No, no, no. You are wrong. Mr. Wang went out to buy a brothel girl a few days ago. He spent a thousand taels of silver." Xiao Bai said to the man who just talked about a few pigs.
