"Manager Liu, tell me, what are the Ministry of Revenue planning to do by hoarding so much silver?"

Liu Dehai had already shaken his head at this time.

"This... I don't know either. This is the first time I've heard of this since I became the chief steward. I've never heard of it before!"

"I only know that there are still 30 million taels of silver in the national treasury, but that is the total amount of the six ministries combined with other departments."

When hearing this, Qian Ruoyu felt somewhat certain in his heart, as this meant that this was indeed the Ministry of Revenue's own private collection.

This is exactly what made Qian Ruoyu consider two options. One is to find a way to take all the silver for himself, and the other is to use it as a threat and ask the Ministry of Revenue to give some of the silver to the military camp.

But Qian Ruoyu was thinking of combining both approaches.

After all, the military camp had to give it, and he also wanted to take the silver himself, even if it was from the Ministry of Revenue.

However, the Ministry of Revenue did not reveal the money, which meant that Qian Ruoyu could find a way to take it for himself.

After thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu smiled.

At the same time, he glanced at Liu Dehai in front of him. Qian Ruoyu had already regarded Liu Dehai as his confidant. After all, in the palace, Liu Dehai helped with many things.

At the same time, he glanced at Liu Dehai in front of him. Qian Ruoyu had already regarded Liu Dehai as his confidant. After all, many things in the palace were done with the help of Liu Dehai.

Both the Prime Minister's Office and the Ministry of Revenue have a large amount of silver, so Qian Ruoyu wants to take both of them for himself, but he cannot do this without the help of Liu Dehai.

The most important thing is that Qian Ruoyu felt that as long as she gave Liu Dehai a little dividend, Liu Dehai would immediately help her, so Qian Ruoyu spoke to Liu Dehai with all her heart.

"Manager Liu, how long have we known each other?"

Liu Dehai said immediately without thinking.

"My lady, it's been two months."

While saying these words, Liu Dehai was already thinking about how he had gained a lot of benefits in the past two months because of Qian Ruoyu's help.

While saying these words, Liu Dehai was already thinking about how he had gained a lot of benefits in the past two months because of Qian Ruoyu's help.

Whether it is his official position in the palace, his status in the harem, or the people's livelihood, they have all been greatly improved. All of this has a huge relationship with Qian Ruoyu.

And Liu Dehai also said directly.

"My queen, I am grateful for your promotion and help over the past two months. Otherwise, my reputation and status in the harem would not have been so high. All of this depends on you!"

Hearing him say this, Qian Ruoyu felt relieved. It seemed that Liu Dehai in front of her was indeed someone she could trust.

"In that case, I won't drag it out with you. I'll tell you the truth. I want the money from the Ministry of Revenue."

When Liu Dehai suddenly heard Qian Ruoyu say this, he was a little shocked, but he nodded immediately.

"Well, Madam, you are right. Those people in the Ministry of Revenue are hiding the silver like this, which is obviously a disaster for the country and the people. The silver in their hands is worse than in our hands, not to mention that the bill they reported is 13 million taels of silver."

"I will follow your instructions and see if you can find a solution."

Seeing Liu Dehai being so cooperative made Qian Ruoyu feel more at ease. It seemed that Liu Dehai's promotion was indeed rewarded by him.

Moreover, the money in the Ministry of Revenue is a huge sum, so Qian Ruoyu is so cautious. If there is still the slightest disobedience, Qian Ruoyu will directly give up this idea and transfer it to the military camp.

"Very good, I'm thinking of a way, we'll split the profits 50-50 after it's done."

But just after Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, Liu Dehai quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no... I dare not split the money with you fifty-fifty, how about this, I will just take one-tenth."

Hearing what Liu Dehai said, Qian Ruoyu became even more confused. After all, Liu Dehai only wanted one tenth of it, which naturally made Qian Ruoyu a little unbelievable. Doesn't this mean that Liu Dehai has other plans in mind?

Seeing Qian Ruoyu's expression, Liu Dehai hurriedly explained.

"No, no, no, Madam, I'm afraid you have misunderstood. I live in the harem, and it is impossible for me to keep all the silver in the harem. Therefore, even if you give me more, it will be useless. It would be better if I only take one tenth of it."

"Even the tenth can be placed at your residence. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I have 100% trust in you!"

After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu felt a little more relieved. It turned out that he was worried about the storage of his silver.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu continued, "If that's the case, then I'll give you 20%."

"Then the plan is this. Next, you will still have people seal up the Ministry of Revenue. The three warehouses of the Ministry of Revenue are not in the same place as the Ministry of Revenue. In this case, we only need to use a little trick to find a way to take the silver out of the warehouse."

Qian Ruoyu thought that in this way, it would be enough to just control the amount of silver in all the treasuries to 13 million. In this way, the people in the Ministry of Revenue would suffer a loss and dare not say anything more.

The most important thing is that Qian Ruoyu was not worried at all that the people from the Ministry of Revenue would hold him accountable for this, because they had already committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu knew that she had to be brazen at this time!

"Haven't we already received the red slip from the Ministry of Revenue before? I'm sure you've seen it, right?"

Liu Dehai nodded.

"In that case, I wonder if there is still a way to get the red slip from the Ministry of Revenue. Let's just be bold and take exactly 17 million taels from the three warehouses."

Liu Dehai was shocked when he saw Qian Ruoyu had such huge ambitions, but he didn't think much about it. After all, this was Qian Ruoyu's decision, so he nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, your majesty. Those red strips are also in the palace, and they are in the emperor's study. If your majesty needs them, I will go get them now. Anyway, no one will notice the number of them."

Hearing this condition, Qian Ruoyu immediately felt happy, so he nodded.

Liu Dehai then immediately left and returned to the palace.
