The Minister of Revenue believed him.
The Minister of War is a very upright person who cares about the soldiers. There can be corrupt people in any department, but it is impossible for such people to be corrupt in the department under the Minister of War's jurisdiction.
If there is, and he finds out, it will be a dead end.
The Minister of War looked at the huge amount of silver and money and asked, "Can I lend it to someone in your house?"
The Minister of Revenue waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
The Minister of War immediately went out and called the guards from the Minister of Revenue's mansion to come in and help carry the box. He also borrowed a few carriages from the Minister of Revenue to transport the silver and money to his own mansion.
Then allocate funds based on the needs of border defense.
The Minister of Revenue looked at the remaining silver and sat down at the table to calculate the silver. How much silver would it cost to buy rice and flour, and how much silver would be needed for the transportation team...
The Minister of Revenue wrote it down and did some calculations.
Try to make every penny count.
We strive to ensure that every refugee has access to hot porridge and cotton clothes.
“The number of refugees still needs to be counted.”
The Minister of Revenue remembered this matter, otherwise he didn't know how many cotton-padded clothes he would buy.
The Minister of Revenue immediately called someone in and sent them to the refugee camp at full speed to conduct a count.
When the concubine of the Minister of Revenue came to the study and saw so much silver, her eyes lit up and she shouted, "Master!"
"I'm a little short on money lately."
The concubine walked up to the Minister of Revenue and flirted with him, "Master~~~"
The Minister of Revenue was busy and had no time to pay attention to her. "You don't have enough money? Why didn't your wife give you the regular money?"
I dare not lie about this matter, otherwise the master will find out as soon as he goes to the accounting office to check.
"I did, but I recently bought a set of jewelry, so I don't have enough money."
The concubine acted coquettishly, "Master, you love me the most..."
The Minister of Revenue did give her money in the past, but when he thought about how much their monthly allowance was, he straightened his face and said, "You get a lot of money every month."
"It's been so long, and you haven't saved any money?"
"The Emperor is promoting frugality these days. How can I survive if you're so extravagant?"
"From today on, you need to be more restrained in your spending."
"Don't spend all your monthly allowance. Learn to save some."
The Minister of Revenue said calmly, "Just wait for next month's pay."
The concubine looked at him in disbelief, "Master?"
"Master, I really have no money!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to you and said, 'You are my heaven, my earth, and my life!'"
The Ministry of Revenue had a lot of things to deal with, and it was a time when he was overwhelmed. When she came to act like a spoiled child, he felt a little annoyed, "That's enough."
"Is it my fault that you have no money? If you really have no money, you can pawn some jewelry."
"Ah?" The concubine was confused. "Pawning jewelry?"
"Master, this, this, this, if this gets out, people will think our family is doomed!"
"You are the Minister of Revenue!"
"If people knew that your concubine had to pawn her jewelry, that would be... not good, right?"
As she spoke, the concubine looked at the pile of silver and money and asked, "Master, don't you have silver and money?"
The Ministry of Revenue's face turned cold. "This is the money allocated by the little princess. It is used to buy things for the refugees."
"I warn you, don't think about this money."
"Otherwise, if your head falls to the ground, don't blame me for not warning you!"
The concubine shuddered and said with a wry smile, "I thought it was the master's money."
"My father said that the master is the Minister of Revenue, so he can use the money whenever he wants."
In the past, when the emperor hadn't been so strict, he would have just listened to these words.
Nowadays...
The Minister of Revenue slapped him directly, "What a tactless person!"
"Go back and tell your father that if he dares to say something nonsense again, I will kick his head off!"
The concubine was beaten and lay on the ground. She covered her face with one hand, tears filling her eyes, "Master..."
"Master, how can you hit me?"
"I just said it casually."
"You just said it casually, but if someone with ulterior motives heard it, my job would be over!"
The Minister of Revenue sneered, "Go back to your yard!"
The concubine looked at him aggrievedly, "Master, I was wrong. I will never say such words again."
"Master, I just miss you. You haven't come to my yard for a long time."
"concubine……"
The concubine's expression of wanting to speak but also trying to please her makes people feel pity for her.
If he were the former Minister of Revenue, he would indeed pity him.
But he is really busy today!
But after hearing her say this, he softened his tone and said, "Okay, go back and stay here. I will come to see you when I am done."
"yes."
The concubine didn't dare to offend him again. She stood up with a wronged look on her face, turned her head away, covered her face with her hands and ran out.
The Minister of Revenue had no time to pay attention to her as he was still packing his things.
As soon as the concubine walked out, she was laughed at by the other concubines, "Puff!"
"She still thinks she is the master's favorite?"
"That's hilarious! Did you see the slap marks on her face? Master, he must be disgusted by her age."
"Tsk tsk tsk, speaking of which, isn't it time for our master to take in a new member?"
The word "newcomer" stung the concubine's heart. She glared at them fiercely with red eyes and wiped away her tears, "What are you so proud of?"
"No matter how unpopular I am, the master still comes to my yard the most often!"
"What about you? Ha! The master doesn't even bother to look at you!"
The expressions of several concubines also changed.
"Ha! That's right, we are not as shameless as you!"
"Who doesn't know that you used some trickery to get into the master's bed?"
As the argument got worse, several people started pulling each other's hair. This was what the Ministry of Revenue's wife saw when she came over. "What a disgrace to quarrel with!"
The lady scolded with a cold face.
With just one sentence, they instantly lost their enthusiasm. They all stood aside with their heads down, not daring to say a word.
Madam, "Everyone go back to your own yard. The master is busy recently. Don't disturb him."
"Otherwise, don't blame me for punishing you according to my family rules!"
"Yes!" The concubines nodded in agreement and retreated.
The lady walked in with her maid, "Master."
"Madam." The Minister of Revenue raised his eyes and looked at her, "Thank you for your hard work these days."
The lady chuckled and shook her head, "Compared to the master, my hard work is nothing."
"The master is the one who is really working hard."
"You must be tired. Have some Tremella soup. I just made it for you."
As soon as the lady finished speaking, the maid beside her immediately came forward and handed her the Tremella soup.
The Minister of Revenue stopped writing and said, "Madam, why are you working so hard? From now on, let the servants do these things."
"How can you say it's hard work to make Tremella soup for your husband?"
The lady leaned over to take a look and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"
"It's nothing." The Minister of Revenue shook his head. "It's just a small matter. I can handle it."
"You'd better take care of yourself."
