Fear no powerful enem...
"Yes, sir!"
Qin Mo saw the chief eunuch behind Emperor Zhaowu walk over, bow to her respectfully, and then begin to introduce himself.
“Your Highness, I am Li Ji, the chief steward of the Imperial Treasury! There are some things I need to clarify with Your Highness today.”
"Your Highness, your Dayuan has numerous workshops and produces a great deal of goods. Dayuan merchants are quite famous in Daxia. Even the Imperial Family has many business dealings with Dayuan. Over the years, the two families have benefited from each other and maintained a very good relationship!"
"His Majesty has always entrusted the Empress with managing the business affairs between the Imperial Family and the Dayuan. Now that the Empress is under house arrest, the business can't just stop, can it? Otherwise, so many artisans in Dayuan and so many small merchants in Daxia will lose their livelihoods!"
"His Majesty is kind and benevolent, and has appointed me to manage all the trivial matters between the imperial family and the high officials. From now on, I will follow His Highness around and beg for a bowl of soup!"
Looking at the self-absorbed eunuch Li Ji, Qin Mo said with some admiration, "It's really impressive that a eunuch could cultivate to the Profound Realm!"
"Your Highness is too kind. I am only able to be where I am today because of His Majesty's generous gifts. Everything is thanks to the blessings of the Imperial Family!"
"A eunuch dares to talk business with me? He must have some nerve!"
"Your Highness is too kind. The Imperial Treasury belongs to His Majesty. Whether it is the Empress or myself, we are merely managing it on His Majesty's behalf."
"Hehehehe!"
Qin Mo raised her eyelids, carefully examined the guy, smiled, and then ignored him!
"Your Highness, since you have approved of me, how about we conduct the handover ceremony here in the court?"
"What are you handing over? What do you have to hand over to me?"
“Your Highness, it is naturally the silver stored in your Dayuan Bank in the Imperial Treasury. Her Majesty has arbitrarily transferred the silver from the Imperial Treasury to your hands, and His Majesty has not held this offense against Her Majesty so as not to damage her reputation. However, the silver... must be returned to the Imperial Treasury!”
"If I don't hand over the reins to you, will we be unable to reach an agreement on business in the future, and will all the artisans in my workshop starve to death?"
"Your Highness, what are you saying? Your territory is rich in resources; how could anyone starve to death!"
Qin Mo's smile vanished. She stretched out her hand and said coldly, "Give it to me!"
"Uh... what does Your Highness need?"
"Of course, it requires a seal and signature. For large withdrawals, the depositor must be present in person! Da Yuan Bank guarantees the safety and privacy of its depositors. No one may spy on or steal the property of others deposited in our bank."
