Chapter 371 Treasury Affairs

In view of the fact that her uncle and mother can hear her inner voice, little Ruoxi probably also knows that people who are related to her by blood are likely to hear her inner voice.

But...

how come her scumbag father couldn't hear it? The

scumbag father and the Shangguan family couldn't hear it, which proves that they have no blood relationship, so, brother is not Shangguan Jinghong?

Baby Ruoxi's furry big eyes blinked, and after blinking for a long time, she seemed to have figured out some things.

However, now is not the time to consider these things. She has to dress beautifully and go to the banquet with the royal grandmother.

There are delicious food at the banquet, and her brother will not go to school because of the banquet, so he can play with her.

It is said that children like children. Sure enough, since she became a baby, she also likes to play with the little brothers.

Her brother is smart, cute, and especially protective of his sister. He is a complete sister-protecting maniac.

Therefore, baby Ruoxi likes them even more.

Liu Rushi came to Fushou Palace. As soon as she came, she started to make a lot of noise.

"Rushi pays respects to the Queen Mother. Queen Mother, where is Xier?" Liu Rushi asked after looking at the room.

"Xier is changing her clothes. Our princess needs to wear something beautiful and noble. I have also asked someone to make some headwear suitable for Xier. Wait a minute, Ah Jin and the others will get it done, and it will be fine!" said the Queen Mother.

Liu Rushi walked into the inner room and saw baby Ruoxi dressed. She immediately picked up the little girl.

"Little Xier, let's go. Let's go find mother first." Liu Rushi went out with the child in her arms, followed closely by Nanny Jin and Hongmei.

Dongju followed the princess and served her.

Xiao Yue was busy sorting out the treasury's account books. She had been looking at those account books for several days. She had only read about one-tenth of them, but she had already found many problems.

Among them, some of the names left by the previous dynasty, the people were no longer there, but there were still salaries in and out of the accounts.

"Which department are these people who are eating empty salaries?" Xiao Yue asked.

"Your Highness, most of these are from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and... and from the City Defense Battalion. The number of soldiers in the City Defense Battalion changes every month. If the replacement is not timely, this kind of problem is likely to occur!" said the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Treasury.

"How many people are currently in office in the Ministry of Personnel, with unstable official titles?" Xiao Yue asked.

"To the Princess, the total number of people currently in office in the Ministry of Personnel is 316," the doctor replied.

"Okay, then we'll conduct the assessment. These 316 people, including you, all need to be investigated. I want to know the salaries of all officials in the capital of the Great Wei, including the wives of the ministers." Xiao Yue said.

"Princess, this, this will take a long time!" The doctor was in a dilemma.

"It will take a long time? Oh, I'll give you half a month. I want to see all the real data. At the same time, I'll send people to participate in you. I'll even conduct random checks at any time. If I find that you have falsified or misreported numbers, I will punish you according to the most stringent laws of the dynasty!" Xiao Yue said.

"Oh, our princess is angry!" Outside, a coquettish voice came into the ears, and Liu Rushi appeared holding the little Ruoxi baby.

"Xi'er!" When Xiaoyue saw her daughter, the hostility in her body quietly disappeared.

She stood up and came over, holding her daughter in her arms.

"Mother!" Baby Ruoxi can already say two words, and she can still call mother very clearly.

Of course, this is also thanks to Baby Ruoxi's secret practice every day.

She will never relax.

"Little princess!" Dongju came over and opened a box: "Look, this is milk cake, I just got it from the kitchen, and I'm going to take it to the banquet for you to eat!"

"Yeah!" Baby Ruoxi nodded. She didn't know what to eat at the banquet, so she had to fill her stomach first.

"The little princess is so beautiful. This little skirt was made by the Queen Mother that day. It's so beautiful. This phoenix spreading its wings is so well embroidered. And this headdress is so beautiful!" Dongju couldn't help but sigh.

"Mother dotes on Xi'er, and she's almost spoiling her!" Xiao Yue hugged her daughter and said, "But, Xi'er must not be arrogant because of her doting, understand?"

"Yes!" Baby Ruoxi patted her mother's shoulder with her little hand: "Don't worry, mother, baby is very capable, and will definitely not do anything rash!"

Not to mention anything else, just the headwear and clothes on her body, baby Ruoxi heard from Aunt Gui that they cost a lot of money.

In her previous life, she regarded money as dirt, and she felt that this was wrong.

As a result, in this world, she couldn't even tell the material of the clothes on her body.

"The account doesn't match!" Liu Rushi smiled faintly and said, "I expected it!"

"Oh, you knew it a long time ago, why didn't you tell my brother?" Xiao Yue asked.

"As for your royal brother, he has to listen to me. Besides, my grandfather said that this kind of thing has happened in every dynasty, but the Wei Dynasty has suffered particularly severe losses because of the things in the previous dynasty. My grandfather said that it has been like this for more than ten years. It will be very difficult for the emperor to start investigating now. In addition, the court is not yet completely stable. Therefore, he thinks that it is better not to act for the time being. I didn't say anything." Liu Rushi said.

"Your grandfather is really an old-fashioned man." Xiao Yue chuckled and said, "Master Taifu, he is the most powerful and the most prudent in doing things. But if you sort out the accounts of the national treasury early, I am afraid that there will not be that person and energy. In the end, it will still cause chaos in the previous dynasty, and it will be more difficult for your brother."

As an emperor who has grown up in this place all his life, how could Xiao Yin not know that there must be cat stuff in the national treasury.

Just the home of a minister of the Ministry of Personnel can collect millions of taels of gold and silver.

How can you say that there is no cat stuff in the national treasury

? It's just that some people are willing to move and some are not willing to move. Didn't the emperor of the previous dynasty know?

But he also understood that once the national treasury was thoroughly investigated, his already precarious court would be even more difficult to stabilize.

Many times, when faced with such a thing, most people would choose to turn a blind eye.

However, Xiao Yue took over, and she would naturally not just look at it and let it go.

If it continues for a long time, the Wei Dynasty will not be able to hold on for many years and will eventually fall.

"Let's go, pack up and go to the full moon banquet. It is said that the Queen wants the Queen Mother to give the child a name." Liu Rushi said.

"Mother, have you thought about it?" Xiao Yue asked while packing up.

Dong Ju pouted on the side: "The Queen Mother probably thinks that the name of the Crown Princess was given by the Queen Mother!"
