As Qi Yunshan finished speaking, a burst of applause erupted in the lobby. The officials who had been busy for more than a month roared from the bottom of their hearts and looked at Zhao Kang excitedly.
It's finally solved.
Zhao Kang also felt relieved and asked: "How much is the expenditure?"
Qi Yunshan laughed: "Sir, before you came here, your Majesty gave me a total of one million taels of silver. However, I couldn't even use half of the more than 200,000 shi of grain."
"Including the money paid to the Wu family, three hundred thousand taels is enough!"
When Zhao Kang heard this, he knew that the silver note was probably given to Her Majesty the Empress by Qin Yufeng after she brought it back.
After all, it's Mr. Zhao's money.
He immediately stretched out his hand: "Then you keep 300,000 yuan and the rest, hmm?"
Qi Yunshan was stunned for a moment, looking at Zhao Kang who stretched out his hand to hook him up and whispered: "Isn't this not good for the Imperial Master?"
"Stop talking nonsense, I gave this bank note to Your Majesty. Take it out like a fool. I have become so poor these days."
Zhao Kang snorted: "Damn it, I don't even dare to walk in when I pass by a brothel, I can only stand at the door to enjoy it!"
Qi Yunshan sweatdropped, and while taking out the banknote, he said: "If your Majesty asks after that, I will tell you that you took it."
Now in the eyes of a group of ministers, the relationship between Zhao Kang and Her Majesty the Empress has basically been established.
This girl may be our Majesty’s queen in the future! Can we give him money if he wants it?
Although it seems strange to think this way, it is indeed the case!
"It's okay, I'll just take care of it if something happens."
Zhao Kang grabbed the banknote with one hand and put it into his arms. The two of them whispered to each other, which really surprised Wu Xinyi and his family.
He took out a thousand taels from the banknote and threw it to Qi Yunshan. Zhao Kang said: "Take this thousand taels and treat these guys and the officials below to something good these days. They have really been working hard during this period.
.”
The officials burst into tears when they heard that. The superiors were still thinking of us!
"Thank you, sir!" Qi Yunshan smiled happily and took the banknote.
Want something good to eat?
How many victims of the disaster in Qingzhou do not have enough to eat now? As officials of the imperial court, we should set an example!
A simple meal every day is enough, what kind of bicycle do you need?
His Royal Highness the Prince looked at it and his eyes turned red: "Old Zhao! What about me! I have been working very hard during this time!"
"Don't be polite if you take it. Just save some flowers."
Zhao Kang threw two coins, and Xiao Xuance angrily rushed over and grabbed the money, making everyone laugh.
Zhao Kang originally planned to prepare a few banquets at Wu's house that night, but he never expected to receive invitations from Qin Yang and Mashan to invite him to the banquet.
All I could do now was give up and go to the banquet alone.
As for why Qin Yang and Mashan, the two great enemies, invited him, he could guess why.
In all likelihood, it was because of what was said that day about the imperial examination.
Arriving at the banquet restaurant, Ma Shan and Qin Yang were waiting downstairs early.
When they saw Zhao Kang, they stopped calling him Mr. Zhao and said together: "Master Zhao."
Zhao Kang laughed playfully: "The two brothers are in good spirits. They have sold all the food. How can they not be in good spirits for such a large sum of money?"
Qin Yang and Mashan couldn't help but laugh bitterly, this idiot is just rubbing salt into our wounds.
The two families spent more than 100,000 shi of food and more than 200,000 silver. What's the result?
Not to mention getting back the money, I lost money directly to my grandma’s family!
Qin Yang was a little helpless, but he still managed to cheer up and said: "Please, sir."
"Let's go!" Zhao Kang walked into the restaurant with his hem.
Different from the previous times, Qin Yang and Mashan did not open a box this time, and it was not just the two of them and Zhao Kang who attended the banquet.
There was also a group of people that Zhao Kang had never seen before. Everyone was dressed in luxurious clothes, and they looked like a group of wealthy owners.
As Zhao Kang came to the main seat, Qin Yang said: "Master Zhao, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Zhang from Pinggu, and this is Mr. Zhou from Qingshui County..."
As Qin Yang read out one name after another, Zhao Kang did not feel any surprise.
Although he has never met these people, he has heard their names. They can be said to be the group of people with the most money in Qingzhou.
"Everyone, this is the disaster relief minister sent by the imperial court this time, Mr. Zhao!"
After introducing the last person, Qin Yang pointed out Zhao Kang's identity.
Everyone stood up quickly: "Greetings to Mr. Zhao."
"Everyone, get up." Zhao Kang said calmly.
The door of the restaurant was closed at this time, and the boss and the waiter also left. After receiving Zhao Kang's permission, everyone took their seats.
Everyone looked at Zhao Kang. Qin Yang obviously didn't want to delay and said softly: "Sir Zhao, I invite you to the banquet today for nothing more. I just want to ask you to point out a way to survive. I hope you will give us some advice. If there is any
We will never refuse any request as long as we can do it!”
The other party was so cheerful that Zhao Kang was naturally too lazy to make excuses and chuckled: "Brother Qin is talking about the imperial examination?"
Qin Yang still spoke, and a rich man said anxiously: "Yes, Mr. Zhao, it's not easy to get to Qiuwei. Quanzi has already been prepared, waiting to win the title of Juren."
"If the imperial examination fails at this time, my son Han Chuang's ten years of hard work will be ruined! I beg you to point out a way to survive!"
"Please show mercy to Mr. Zhao!"
Everyone knelt down in unison and looked at Zhao Kang sincerely.
Zhao Kang's expression gradually turned cold at this time, and he suddenly snorted: "I had known this! Why did I do it in the first place!"
Everyone's expressions froze, but they didn't dare to say anything.
Zhao Kang then scolded: "Qingzhou suffered a disaster, and the whole country is watching here. As local rich people, it's just that you don't want to share the worries for the emperor! You actually raise the price of food. Do you really think that no one in the world can control you?"
"Mr. Zhao, we know we were wrong, please show mercy!" Everyone shouted, each pretending to be worse than the other.
Zhao Kang said calmly: "If you want me to show mercy, you can take some practical actions."
Qin Yang immediately took out the banknotes from his arms, and the others also took out their money: "I have prepared some small gifts for you, please accept them."
Zhao Kang pounded the table angrily: "Who do you think I am? You actually used this to test me! You think I, Mr. Zhao, am some kind of corrupt official!"
Qin Yang and others were startled and a little at a loss.
Zhao Kang cursed: "A bunch of worms! You think others are dirty when you are dirty?"
"My lord, please forgive me! Please tell me how you want me to wait!" Qin Yang said bravely.
Zhao Kang then calmed down his anger and thought for a moment before saying: "This autumn, with the favor of the imperial court, anyone in Qingzhou who has participated in the government examination and has won the title of scholar can participate. You just respond to this decree.
