After putting away the silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Liu Dehai hurried to the palace and met Qian Ruoyu.

He wanted to know what Qian Ruoyu would do next and how to follow Qian Ruoyu's instructions.

After seeing Liu Dehai coming, Qian Ruoyu smiled faintly, and then spoke more calmly.

"Since they understood us the first time, it means there will be a second and third time. Moreover, these people in the Ministry of Revenue obviously still have a lot of silver at this time. Otherwise, how could they hand over all the 1.3 million taels of silver so easily?"

Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Liu Dehai nodded quickly.

"Your Highness is right."

"I have peeked at your majesty's account books before and found that there are at least 13 million taels of silver in the three warehouses where the Ministry of Revenue is now located."

When he heard the 13 million taels of silver, even Qian Ruoyu was shocked.

This is an extremely huge amount of money.

At this moment Qian Ruoyu thought of something, that is, if he wanted to unseal the Ministry of Revenue, he would obviously need to use potions, unless the people in the Ministry of Revenue did not want to leave the Ministry of Revenue.

Otherwise, you will need to use the potion you gave yourself anyway.

In the entire capital city, Qian Ruoyu's potion is second to none. Nothing is more effective than Qian Ruoyu's potion in treating the plague.

It is precisely because of this that Qian Ruoyu appears so fearless, but Qian Ruoyu is also thinking in his heart how he can get the money from the Ministry of Revenue.

After all, there are nearly a hundred people in the Ministry of Revenue, and it is impossible for everyone to pay.

But Qian Ruoyu thought of another angle, that is, is the Ministry of Revenue really only had 13 million taels of silver?

Although 13 million taels was indeed a large sum of money, Qian Ruoyu thought about it and wondered if it was used to buy smallpox and treat the plague, and also to fight a war, how would it be enough?

Thirteen million taels of silver, if you want to pay for all this, the amount is totally impossible to be enough.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu wanted to continue to confirm the money from the Ministry of Revenue, so she asked Liu Dehai in front of her.

"Liu Zongguan, are you sure that the account book they reported to His Majesty really contained 13 million taels of gold? When did that happen?"

Liu Dehai nodded without hesitation.

"Yeah, I definitely wasn't mistaken."

"Five days ago, the Ministry of Revenue submitted an account book to Your Majesty, which stated that the first half of this year had passed and the Ministry of Revenue still had 13 million taels of silver left."

"In addition to the Ministry of Revenue, other ministries also have their own silver, but the amount is definitely not comparable to that of the Ministry of Revenue. After all, the financial power is completely managed by the Ministry of Revenue."

Qian Ruoyu smiled.

"They said 13 million taels of silver. Is it really 13 million taels of silver?"

"What if the number they give is different from what really exists?"

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, although Liu Dehai felt confused, he spoke immediately.

"If the numbers don't match, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. I'm afraid everyone in the Ministry of Revenue will be thrown into jail for this."

Hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu felt a little more confident, so he spoke directly.

"good!"

Then Qian Ruoyu called Jin Lianhua over and said to her in front of Liu Dehai.

"Go to the several warehouses of the Ministry of Revenue and check them out. If you don't know where they are, ask Chief Steward Liu!"

"Find out the amount of silver in the Ministry of Revenue, and then come back and report to me."

After hearing these words, Jin Lianhua nodded immediately and didn't think that this was a difficult thing at all.

On the contrary, Liu Dehai on the side was stunned, because he didn't dare to believe that Jin Lianhua could complete this task, and he never believed it.

"this……"

"That's impossible. Even if Shenyou has powerful martial arts, the warehouses of the Ministry of Revenue are heavily guarded. Not everyone can enter casually..."

But Qian Ruoyu had a confident look on her face, and Jin Lianhua also said.

"Manager Liu, please rest assured. Just give me the address. I will find a way to get in."

Then Liu Dehai nodded without hesitation and told Jin Lianhua the entire address, and Jin Lianhua set off immediately.

Qian Ruoyu invited Liu Dehai back to the palace, and the two drank tea together in the pavilion.

Liu Dehai had never thought that one day he would be able to drink tea so leisurely in the palace, and he was extremely grateful to Qian Ruoyu in his heart.

Especially after the 300,000 taels of silver were sent back to the Imperial Household Department, his prestige in the entire Imperial Household Department was immediately greatly enhanced.

Although the silver had not been distributed yet, everyone in the Imperial Household Department was already flocking to Liu Dehai. You know, the previous chief steward had spent so much time and was unable to get so much silver.

Liu Dehai had accomplished this great thing less than a month after taking office. He could be said to be the most admired person in the entire Imperial Household Department.

Looking at Qian Ruoyu in front of him, Liu Dehai couldn't help but shed tears to express his gratitude to Qian Ruoyu. He didn't know what he should do to repay Qian Ruoyu's great kindness.

If he had not met Qian Ruoyu, he would probably never have been able to become the Grand Eunuch of the Imperial Household Department in his entire life, and would only be able to become the lowest-ranking deputy eunuch.

The two of them drank tea until the evening, and then Jin Lianhua returned to the palace and found Qian Ruoyu as soon as possible.

"How is it? Am I wrong in my guess?"

Qian Ruoyu anxiously asked Jin Lianhua the first thing she did.

Liu Dehai on the side was naturally a little nervous. He wanted to know if there was anything wrong with Qian Ruoyu's idea.

Jin Lianhua said to Qian Ruoyu with a smile.

"My lady, you are right!"

"The silver in the warehouse is indeed different from the reported amount. I have said it three times seriously. There are different boxes filled with gold and silver, and each box is full."

"There are enough marks on each box. I added them up and found that the total amount should be more than 30 million taels of silver!"

After hearing these words suddenly, the teacup in Liu Dehai's hand almost fell to the ground, but was caught by Jin Lianhua instead.

Qian Ruoyu was also stunned at this time.

If it was just an extra two or three million taels of silver, Qian Ruoyu could still accept it. However, Qian Ruoyu never expected that the amount given by the Ministry of Revenue was more than twice the actual amount!
