Chapter 22: Great! The Treasury is Full



Before Qin Yuanhao set off, he specifically called the leader of the imperial guards to go with him.

No, it only takes a cup of tea.

He fed Qin Zhenzhen some goat milk, changed her diaper, and was holding the baby in her swaddle, gently patting her burp.

"belch……"

"Your Majesty is worthy of you. The little princess has successfully burped." Zhou Mian came over with a smile on his face, and Qin Yuanhao was even more proud.

Yang Jia Erlang looked at the little princess with great interest, and he felt a little itchy.

I don’t know if the emperor will let him hold him.

Perhaps his eyes were too passionate, Qin Yuanhao turned his head and looked at him.

"Yang Jia Erlang, do you know how to hug?" Qin Yuanhao was still a little hesitant.

The next second, a pair of big hands stretched out in front of him, and he could only hand the little princess over.

[Wow, looking at my second uncle up close, he's so handsome! Our Yang family has good genes.]

[I feel so safe in my second uncle's embrace.]

Qin Yuanhao immediately regretted it. The little princess had never praised him like this.

He is her father, so naturally she should look like him.

The commander of the imperial guards came over with a constipated look on his face and reported, "Your Majesty, the study is ready."

Qin Yuanhao walked towards the study. Minister Xiao's house was small, so it was just a short walk away.

"I would like to see this study..." Before he could finish his words, even the emperor, who was knowledgeable and experienced, was stunned.

The study, which was in a dilapidated state before, was transformed after being stripped bare by the imperial guards.

It became a golden house.

It blinded everyone's eyes.

Even though Qin Yuanhao was mentally prepared, he was still dizzy by the glittering golden house.

"Come here, take Minister Xiao and all the people in the palace away and investigate for me where he got so much gold."

As an emperor, he had never seen so much gold.

Don't go too far.

"Yang Jia Erlang, you have performed a great service this time. I will carefully consider what reward to give you."

Qin Yuanhao looked at the Minister of Personnel who had been standing nearby. "Minister of Personnel, you and the Minister of Revenue have always had a good relationship. How come you didn't notice? Or are you deliberately covering up for him?"

The Minister of Personnel quickly knelt before Qin Yuanhao and said, "Your Majesty, I am wronged! Who would have thought that the Minister of Revenue would build a house out of gold?"

But how did Minister Yang discover this?

Why did they just take everything away from them?

He looked at Yang Jia Erlangfa with curiosity, "Master Yang, please tell me how you discovered this?"

"Yes, I'm curious too."

After all, he listened to his daughter's thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't know what happened today.

"Well, it's a coincidence. It was Lord Xiao who invited me to discuss the site selection for greenhouse planting." Yang Jia Erlang scratched the back of his head and showed an honest smile.

"I noticed there was a brick in the study that wasn't fixed properly. I often help my mother fix things at home, so I said I'd help Minister Xiao fix it."

"It just so happened that Minister Xiao threatened me, and I got angry and punched him. Who knew the wall was so fragile?"

The Minister of Personnel and the chief of the imperial guards all felt their mouths twitching.

What a coincidence, so fragile.

The Minister of Personnel felt that his term of office was about to end. How could such a coincidence have never happened to him in all these years? Now he couldn't even explain himself.

"You are worthy of being a good man of the Yang family." Qin Yuanhao's eyes were full of praise.

[No wonder my second uncle was able to discover the Minister of Revenue's tricks. This goes to show that people can't just read books, they still need to have common sense. Who knows if it will come in handy at a critical moment.]

[These ministers, all of whom used to be obsessed with intrigue, naturally couldn't compare to my second uncle, who was hands-on at home. Ultimately, they just didn't do enough.]

*

Early morning.

"Your Majesty, the new homes for those refugees have been built. Our treasury is so empty, why are we allocating funds for greenhouse farming?"

"If this continues, I'm afraid General Yang's 100,000-man army won't be able to survive."

"We hope Your Majesty will revoke the sacred order."

Yang Jia Erlang was waiting angrily for the Imperial Censor to speak.

This guy is complaining to His Majesty, asking if his father's 100,000 troops guarding the border have enough to eat?

Although the prime minister did not attend court, his disciples were spread throughout the court.

There are dozens of people in the Censorate, and now they have come out to take sides.

"My dear ministers, with the constant flow of natural disasters and the unwarranted increase in taxes, do you despise the people's longevity, or do you think I've sat on the throne for too long?"

As for Qin Yuanhao, he used to be wary of the military power and status of the Yang family among the people.

Since he had the little princess, he worked tirelessly every day to prevent the country from being destroyed.

I've figured it out a long time ago.

The root cause of the country's demise lies with him, the emperor.

If the military power of the Yang family is really taken away, none of these ministers will be able to take over.

They are all guys who are always jealous of what others have, but they have no real skills.

Sooner or later.

Qin Yuanhao said coldly: "Bring the people up!"

Yang Jia Erlang straightened up, finally it was time for today's business.

The Minister of Revenue, who had been waiting outside for a long time, was brought up personally by the leader of the imperial guards.

He was wearing shackles and his eyes were cloudy. When he saw His Majesty on the dragon throne, his legs went weak and he knelt down.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never dare to do it again."

Qin Yuanhao sneered, "There are still things that Minister Xiao dare not do. I'm afraid that if it's any later, you can be the emperor at home."

"I absolutely don't have such intention!" Minister Xiao knelt on the ground, his face covered with tears and snot.

The officials next to him took a few steps back instantly.

"Just tell me what you did!"

"I accepted bribes, exchanged silver for gold, and built a golden house."

The ministers around took a deep breath.

How much gold would it take to build a golden house?

A Minister of Revenue has such great ability.

"Why are you all silent now? Didn't you say that you couldn't support a hundred thousand troops? Didn't you say that you wanted to increase taxes? I wonder if you can solve the problem of Minister Xiao's golden house."

Emperor Qin Yuanhao looked at the colorful faces below.

I feel very comfortable.

"Pass the order down. The Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice will jointly handle this case. I want to know how many people have contributed to Minister Xiao's golden house."

Minister Xiao, Xiao Siwei rolled his eyes and fainted in the hall.

The other officials were even more worried, fearing that they would be contaminated by him.

"Alright, Bai Wencheng will temporarily take over the position of Minister of Revenue."

"After Yang Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue concluded the refugee issue, he took up the position of Imperial Censor of the Censorate."

Yang Jia Erlang’s eyes popped out.

His Yang family holds military power, so if he is made an imperial censor to supervise all officials, then he can sue anyone who dares to insult their Yang family.

So cool!

It feels really good.

"Starting today, all officials will go home and prepare. On your days off, everyone must go to the new homes for refugees in the eastern suburbs to participate in their construction. Experiencing the lives of the people firsthand, they must consider what practical things they can do for them."

"So that you don't have to stare at my throne all day long."

After saying this, without waiting for the officials to speak, Qin Yuanhao lifted his robe and left.
