Chapter 312 Boss
Chapter 312 Boss
The sudden disaster made the Minister of Revenue completely disregard his image, and he rolled off his chair in embarrassment, quickly crawled to the emperor, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, please withdraw your order. I, your humble servant, still need to arrange the military pay for the North City today, and I really have no time to accompany your beloved concubine."
Sheng Jingchen's face was stern, his eyes were gloomy, and he said with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "Oh, Wuxia, I think Mr. Park is too idle today to raise the odds of the bet from five to one hundred. Are you going to empty my treasury?"
Xiao Yining, who was standing by, was completely stunned by this. She should have thought of it long ago. How could an ordinary person be the one to place a bet here? She didn't expect that it was the emperor who led the crowd to place a bet. How arrogant, how crazy...
Xiao Yining became visibly depressed.
I'm afraid this money is not worth it...
The dream of being a rich woman is completely shattered...
Sure enough, making money down to earth is the right way...
But her great uncle is involved in a wide range of matters in order to make money.
She looked up at the newly-formed Shura scene between the emperor and his subjects, and suddenly felt that she should not interfere with her uncle's performance here. She quickly moved to his feet and continued to watch the show.
At this moment, the Minister of Finance was already panicking, and he quickly explained, "Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Yanzhou, and we need money for disaster relief. General Chen also asked for military pay two months in advance, and most of the national treasury has been used up. I thought of adjusting the odds to attract people to place bets so that we can make up for it."
"Oh, so I blamed you wrongly. You spent so much effort just to get a few melons and dates." Sheng Jingchen smiled even more deeply. He raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Dafu. "Pei Dafu, tell this man how much silver he made my treasury pay."
Pei Dafu really didn't know about this. Fortunately, Yu Ke was still by his side and knew some of the amount, so she quickly reminded him in a low voice.
Pei Dafu also responded very quickly, "Minister Park, the minimum compensation today is 31 taels."
As soon as this amount came out, the Minister of Revenue's face turned pale and he fainted on the spot.
The other officials were also stunned by the amount. They looked at each other in confusion, with panic showing on their faces.
No one could afford the sudden deficit of 31 taels.
Sheng Jingchen exuded a low pressure, and continued coldly, "I hate people who are smart the most. Come, take this man away and punish him with fifty strokes of the cane."
The others were dragged away silently, and Prime Minister Xie stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task is to change the odds of the bet back and find the winner of the more than 300,000 taels."
"What do you want, Prime Minister Xie? Want me to be a king who breaks my promise?" Sheng Jingchen smiled playfully. He lowered his eyes to look at the little kid, and the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
I saw that she had leaned on Baihu with great enjoyment at some point, feeling his gaze and giving him a silly smile as if it had nothing to do with her.
"You must not do this, Your Majesty. If you break your promise, I'm afraid the world will laugh at you." Liu Yang also hurriedly stepped out to warn. "Since you have done the bail, you must bear the risks and set an example for the world."
At this time, another official jumped out and said, "Do you know how much practical work can be done with 310,000 taels and how much benefit can be brought to the people? You only know how to talk nonsense. What do you know?"
Then Xiao Yining witnessed a large-scale quarrel. Because the Minister of Revenue made a serious mistake, Liu Yang started to debate with everyone. Even the minister who fainted miraculously woke up and joined the quarrel. Some people even tore their clothes like shrews because of new and old grudges.
The scene was so chaotic that she was stunned.
Another United Nations General Assembly came into reality, and it was a day when little Yining gained a lot of knowledge.
Pei Dafu also walked around the quarreling scene at this time, brought the panicked Yu Ke to the emperor, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Although the dragon boat race has not yet returned, people with a discerning eye have already seen that the civilian team will undoubtedly win this time, so the account still needs to be settled.
Sheng Jingchen rubbed his brows with a headache and threw the note to Pei Dafu, "Qing Jie'er alone got 20 taels. Find the others and bring them to me."
The next moment, another note was handed to Pei Dafu.
Yu Ke said with a pale face, "Eunuch Pei, I have 10,000 taels."
Sheng Jingchen then realized that there was a child here, and he looked up at the person.
Pei Dafu quickly introduced: "Your Majesty, this girl is Yu Ke, the eldest daughter of Yu Fugui, the richest man in Nanping. She is now alone in Yanjing and is also studying in the Imperial Girls' School."
Three hundred thousand grains of food and grass were enough to make Sheng Jingchen show some kindness to the merchant's daughter.
Sheng Jingchen nodded in understanding and said casually, "You can play here with Sister Qing. I will pay you the money when the servants are here."
branch?
Can I still get the money?
Little Yining immediately perked up, raised herself from the white tiger, and hugged Sheng Jingchen's thighs. "Uncle, are you really going to give Sister Qing so much money?"
"A man cannot be untrustworthy." Sheng Jingchen replied helplessly. He glanced at the little boy and continued, "But this will take a few months. Now...now my uncle's treasury is tight and I really can't allocate 200,000 taels to you. I'll write you an IOU later."
After hearing this, little Yining also reacted very quickly and showed a sweet smile. She said in a baby voice, "Then Uncle Grandpa gave Sister Qing an IOU. Sister Qing will ask Mom to hide this as a family heirloom."
After hearing this, Sheng Jingchen's frown finally relaxed a little. He looked at the little boy with satisfaction. This little nephew really met his wishes in every way. His love for him was not in vain.
He was so moved that he wanted to pick up the kid, but the kid let go and pounced on the white tiger beside him, nudging its belly with its head.
Sheng Jingchen: ..., he is indeed a lovely child, and everything he does is better than my second son.
Xiao Yining: Wuuwuwu, my two hundred thousand taels are gone, wuuwuwu...
Thick thighs + life > money
Xiao Yining always knows how to choose. Choosing thick thighs can continuously earn gold coins!
Lin Yining has always been a girl who is easily satisfied.
Yu Jian, who was standing by, saw the emperor smiling, and knelt down before him boldly and said, "Your Majesty, can I exchange this ten thousand taels for a piece of calligraphy from you? My father's birthday is coming up, and I want to give it to him."
"Oh? What do you want me to write?" Sheng Jingchen asked with an unchanged smile.
"Make more money." Yu Ke said embarrassedly.
Sheng Jingchen nodded in agreement, "I will write it to you later, go and play with my beloved concubine!"
Beloved concubine?
Yu Ke's eyes lit up. She didn't expect that she could meet the emperor and accompany the emperor's concubines. The money was truly worth it.
She looked around quickly, but didn't see any woman. She was immediately confused and couldn't help but ask carefully, "Your Majesty, may I ask where my beloved concubine is?"
Sheng Jingchen, who was enjoying the ministers' quarrel, glanced at her and said casually, "Isn't Sister Qing playing with it?"
Yu Ke:……
She turned her head stiffly and saw that the ignorant little Yining had already laid on the tiger, holding in his hand the wet nurse whom he had not seen for a long time.
"You see, I grew up drinking its milk."
"When my grandfather saw she was about to leave, he peeled off her skin."
"Are you male or female? Can you give birth to babies?"
"..."
The little kid's incessant chattering made the white tiger roar impatiently twice. Finally, under the pressure of the beastman and the emperor, he lowered his proud head and allowed her to "bully" him.
Yu Ke: This money is definitely worth spending...I see everything.
