Now it was the Minister of Revenue's turn to sweat profusely.
He doesn't have to go back to Beijing now, and never go back for the rest of his life.
The governor of Xuzhou was stunned. He thought that the officials in the capital really knew how to have fun. Just by sleeping, he could get five hundred taels of silver. How come he didn't have such a good thing?
The governor of Xuzhou, who was enjoying the melon so much, almost forgot why he came to see Shen Zhiyi.
He couldn't help but laugh a few times.
After Shen Zhiyi briefly reviewed what happened last night, his attention finally returned to the roast chicken.
Who would have thought that the Xuzhou governor next to him was laughing like a fool and it was impossible to ignore him.
"Ahem, Governor, is there anything interesting? You seem to be in a very good mood today."
Happy?
The governor of Xuzhou quickly shook his head.
What is he so happy about? He's almost losing his head.
The governor of Xuzhou patted his cheeks and began to cry to Shen Zhiyi: "Shen Lang, you have to save me."
"Me?" Shen Zhiyi pointed at himself: "Save you?"
[Did the Xuzhou governor's brain get caught in the door when he left the house this morning? How can I save him? I have no money and no power, so I won't save him.]
The governor of Xuzhou was sad.
Shen Lang really has a cruel heart.
"Chen Lang, I've recently run into a problem and I'm in urgent need of three thousand taels of gold. Do you have any solution?"
"Three thousand taels?!"
Shen Zhiyi raised his voice and quickly pointed at the newly appointed Minister of Personnel and Vice Minister of Revenue opposite him.
"These two have money, you can borrow from them."
[Md, even if I sold myself, I wouldn't even have three thousand taels of silver, and you have three thousand taels of gold, where can I find it for you?]
Yes, where can you find it?
The governor of Xuzhou was so anxious that he was about to cry.
He patted his thigh and said, "To have so much silver, I would have to have a mine at home."
[It's a pity that you don't have a gold mine at home, but I remember that there seems to be a gold mine in Xuzhou, and it's quite large. But even if you know about it, what can you do? Things like gold mines have to be handed over to the country.]
The governor of Xuzhou's eyes lit up, as he was going to hand it over to the country anyway.
If he discovers a gold mine, he can take it to the emperor to atone for his sins.
He was somewhat impatient to continue asking questions, but was stopped by the new Minister of Personnel with a look.
"Here, the roast chicken is cooked."
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel tore a chicken leg for Shen Zhiyi.
Shen Zhiyi was flattered and accepted it.
"Thank you very much."
[Ah, a second-rank official handed a chicken leg to a mere sixth-rank official. I am really against the will of Heaven, but who cares? I didn’t force him.]
Shen Zhiyi took a bite of the chicken thigh meat and started to entertain himself.
【What should I watch? 】
Shen Zhiyi struggled for a long time, and finally decided to just go and have a look at the gold mine in Xuzhou, otherwise she wouldn't be able to find a satisfactory drama to watch while eating until she finished a chicken.
She is so experienced.
Every time after ordering takeout, she either hasn’t found the drama to watch while eating until she finishes eating, or she just clicks on the beginning of the drama.
She was so disinterested in watching it any further.
So she decided to just look at the gold mine.
[Gold will definitely whet your appetite, and it is a great tonic. ]
Shen Zhiyi took a bite of the chicken thigh with satisfaction, and the next second he was stunned.
[No? Why is there anyone digging this gold mine? ]
The hands of those present trembled.
Damn, someone actually dared to dig gold privately!
The official from Dajing immediately fixed his eyes on the governor of Xuzhou.
The governor of Xuzhou raised his hand and waved it helplessly.
It's not that I'm not me.
He doesn't know anything yet.
[Who did this? The people digging this mine seem to be villagers nearby. ]
The governor of Xuzhou stood up in panic, and because it was so sudden, Shen Zhiyi was frightened.
"You, you guys eat first. I, I have something to take care of."
If he doesn't deal with it, he's doomed.
The governor of Xuzhou quickly accepted the offer, and the newly appointed Minister of Personnel also wanted to inform the old emperor of the matter, so there were only two people left out of the original four who were eating chicken.
Shen Zhiyi looked at the chicken that was still roasting, and then looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue who seemed a little sad.
"You, do you want to eat?"
The Minister of Revenue shook his head fiercely: "No, you eat it."
[Confirmed. I didn't expect that the Minister of Revenue is actually a chicken lover. He can't bear to eat chicken. It doesn't matter. I can eat it by myself. ]
[After all, strictly speaking, the Minister of Revenue and the chicken are of the same species, so it is understandable that he would be reluctant to eat his own kind.]
The Minister of Revenue widened his eyes.
What does Shen Zhiyi mean by this?
He is a living person, how can he be the same kind as a chicken?
But unfortunately, Shen Zhiyi was already addicted to playing PUBG and watching the surveillance of the gold mine, and did not explain the doubts in his heart at all.
The Minister of Revenue felt very upset because he couldn't get an answer, so he went to see the Minister of Rites, Chen.
“Minister Chen, you are quite familiar with Shen Lang, you should know what Shen Lang meant by what he just said, right?”
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites tried to hold back his laughter.
The Minister of Revenue was so angry that he said, "One hundred taels of silver!"
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites said: "Hey, don't try to cheat me. If I take your money, it would be like taking a bribe. I don't want it. So, treat me to a meal and I will tell you."
"Okay, deal."
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites waved his hand at the other party, with a hint of vulgarity in his tone.
"The women who sell their bodies in brothels are called chickens, and the men who sell their bodies in brothels are called ducks. Do you understand, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
After saying this, Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites patted the other person on the shoulder.
"You are really capable. You even dare to seduce the daughter of the Minister of Revenue. You'd better take care of yourself when you return to Dajing."
"Wait, does your wife know about this?"
There is nothing much to say about the background of the wife of the Vice Minister of Revenue. If the daughter of the Minister of Revenue marries the Vice Minister of Revenue, she certainly cannot be allowed to be his concubine.
Thinking of this, Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites looked at Minister of the Ministry of Revenue as if he was looking at a scumbag.
"Abandoning your wife is the most despised thing by His Majesty. If you dare to do it, I will make sure you get out of Shangjing immediately."
The Minister of Revenue swallowed his saliva and finally said helplessly: "My wife naturally knows."
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites exclaimed: "What? She's willing to be a mistress? Hiss, you guys really know how to have fun."
"What do you mean I am willing to be your mistress? There is no chance for me and the daughter of the Minister of Revenue to be together."
"Oh~"
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites suddenly realized: "That means Chen Lang was right when he said that you and chickens are the same species."
Ministry of Revenue: ...
It made so much sense that he couldn't even refute it.
Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites sighed, shook his head and left.
He went to find Shen Zhiyi.
According to his experience of following Shen Zhiyi to eat gossip, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue should have something to say.
If he doesn't understand clearly, he will definitely have trouble sleeping tonight.
"Shen Lang!"
Shen Zhiyi, who was eating chicken, saw Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites waving over and silently handed him another chicken leg.
