...Silence...I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance will be petrified later...
"Hey, one thousand taels! Buy a brothel girl. This... one thousand taels, what is the concept? Mr. Wang, is it true?" Ordinary people may only have a few taels of silver a year. It's better.
More than a dozen taels. The common people were shocked when they heard that buying a brothel girl cost one thousand taels. To them, one thousand taels was simply an astronomical figure.
"Master Wang, you think so. It's the one I saw last night." Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance was still thinking about how to refute. But Xiaobai turned to speak to him.
"That's not what happened..." Shangshu Hubu explained hurriedly.
"You will know this matter as soon as you ask. Mr. Wang, you don't have to be embarrassed. After all, alas, we all understand, we all understand." Xiaobai seemed to be unable to understand the denial of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. He even picked on the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Raise an eyebrow.
"It's true. I was also present when Mr. Wang bought Miss Lei a few days ago." At this time, someone among the people raised a voice. Before, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the others did not expect this day. So they did not have any thoughts when doing these things.
hide.
There is no use for Hubu Shangshu to explain now. He can only regret. He regrets why he didn't hide it in the first place. He will definitely fall into the mouth of the people.
"Sigh... But we can also understand that it may be useful for everyone to borrow money. It's just that it has been so long. The national treasury has no money at all. If there is some natural disaster somewhere in the country, His Majesty may not be able to come up with the money, but who will suffer?
We can't make the people suffer. His Majesty said that even if he sacrifices everything, he will get the money back. But I believe that the ministers should also know this situation and will definitely pay back the money."
Xiaobai spoke passionately. His expression alternated with sadness, anger, and helplessness. The people looked a little worried.
And Xiaobai was very good at talking. He kept saying that taking back the money was for the people and for everyone. The people couldn't hear it. It was as if these people were borrowing not the treasury's money, but their own money.
"Sigh. I think this is probably true. Who doesn't know that emperors love face? You must have no choice but to tell us. These people are too much. They have money to buy girls, but they don't have money to pay back.
"The common people were immediately led by Xiaobai.
"Sir! We support His Majesty. They must pay back the money!" Someone else raised their hands and shouted at Xiaobai.
As long as someone started, the people who spoke became better and better. After a while, the crowd was full of voices asking these ministers to pay back the money.
"Alas... Thanks to everyone's support. With your support, His Majesty will definitely work hard to recover the debt. Don't worry, everyone can wait for the meat." Xiaobai looked at the crowd very moved, not forgetting to talk to the first few people.
Hold hands.
The people who were shaken by the hands were very excited at once. The person sent by the emperor had no airs at all. He actually shook hands with them. He was so friendly to the people.
"Sir! Can you take us with you to collect the debt? We also want to help His Majesty share your worries." The person who said this was in the crowd. No one could see clearly who it was. Well... Xiaobai's request.
"Yes, sir! Take us with you," the atmosphere has reached this point. The people are all on board. Especially for such a meaningful thing, it will be very honorable to speak out in the future and collect the account for His Majesty.
"Okay! You can come if you want. I would like to thank you all on behalf of Your Majesty," Xiaobai was moved and wiped away his tears. He bowed to the people.
The people were flattered when they saw Xiaobai bowing.
"Sir, don't be like this. It's our honor to help your Majesty." The people were very simple. Seeing Xiaobai being so sincere and sincere, I was immediately moved.
Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs:...Why did the change happen so quickly? Just now, the people were scolding Your Majesty, but why are they suddenly trying to solve His Majesty's problems?
"Everyone has finished reading the bill. Please give it to me. If you lose it, you won't be able to get it back." Xiaobai stopped stirring up trouble with the people and looked at the crowd.
At this time... something unexpected happened. Someone in the crowd suddenly grabbed the bill. Chaos instantly broke out.
"Ouch, who is it? Who stepped on me."
"Oh, don't squeeze, don't squeeze."
In an instant, the crowd was in chaos. After all, almost all the people in the city were here, and there were so many people. No one saw who started the chaos.
Not long after, someone started fighting, and pieces of the bill were torn everywhere. After a long time, everyone stopped.
The people in front felt as if they had eaten flies. "Sir... the bill is gone..."
"I'm sorry, sir... I don't know who tore up the bill."
At this time, the people holding the bills bowed their heads in guilt. There were no bills in their hands.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance watched this scene from behind and smiled secretly. Huh, aren't you very powerful? It's up to you what you will do now that there are no bills.
"Sir Bai, what should I do if the bills are gone? Woohoo, so much money." But the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was crying on the surface, with pain and regret on his face.
The crowd became depressed. Everyone blamed themselves and was speechless.
"Oh, it's okay. Fortunately, I'm prepared. Hehe, don't worry, everyone, that was a backup just now. I still have it here." At this time, Xiaobai took out another stack of bills and shook them in his hand.
The common people suddenly felt like a new village had a bright future. The common people breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, some people began to flatter Xiao Bai.
"Fortunately, Mr. Bai is smart."
"After all, there are always some people with bad intentions. I'm doing this just in case, but don't worry, everyone on the bill just now is true. You are always welcome to come when we collect the bill," Xiao Bai said thoughtfully.
He pointed and said something.
The common people understood immediately. Who could be the person with bad intentions? It must be the person who owes the debt.
"These people are going too far. If they don't pay back the money they owe, they will destroy the evidence. Fortunately, sir, you are prepared, otherwise you would have fallen into their trap!" the people said angrily.
"That's it. Sir, we have to follow you. Otherwise, what if they do something else? There are so many of us. At least we have so many pairs of eyes. We can help you keep an eye on it." The people couldn't wait for the next day.
Follow Xiaobai to collect the bill at night.
After all, we are the people in the capital. Although life is harder than before, it is much better than in other places. There is less land. Therefore, the people in the capital are generally relatively leisurely.
Xiaobai turned his head and glanced at the dark-faced Shangshu of Hube. He raised his eyebrows, as if he was provoking Shangshu of Hube.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was going to be furious at this time. This person! He must have done it on purpose. He didn’t expect that Xiaobai actually kept a hand. The main reason was that he didn’t expect that Xiaobai had an extra backup copy overnight. This
It's done. The common people are now turning to Xiaobai. Those who owe debts can be said to be riding a tiger.
