Seeing An Xin's smug look, the gloom in Si Han's eyes dissipated a little. He thought, just give it to her. As long as she is willing to assist him, the money is nothing.
Besides, none of those old guys who owe money to the national treasury are easy to mess with. Most of them are powerful families in the capital of Beiming.
Even Si Han himself was not sure that An Xin could get the money back.
An Xin would understand everything Si Han could think of better than he did.
She lowered her eyelids, and the dark eyeballs in her eye sockets rolled around. She raised her eyes and looked at Si Han seriously and said, "You said that if I, a foreign envoy, go to them to collect a debt, maybe those people won't open the door for me."
"Your Majesty, have you ever considered giving me something that would force them to invite me in for a cup of tea?"
Si Han paused and looked at her with an ambiguous look.
I have to say, she really dared to ask for it.
This kind of thing that forced the ministers to invite her in when they saw it could not be anything ordinary, except that it represented the will of the imperial power.
Si Han couldn't think of anything else that would make those ministers willing to let her in.
However, Si Han also agreed with what An Xin said. There was indeed no evidence. Those ministers did not open the door for her, giving her the opportunity to collect the debt.
I'm afraid that if I see her, I'd be lucky if I don't beat her up.
Looking at An Xin's back as she happily left with the imperial edict he had written himself, Si Han narrowed his eyes and tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and regular tapping sounds rang out in the imperial study.
It is impossible to say that Si Han himself does not have any treasury money.
However, when he took over Bei Ming, there was really not much silver left in the national treasury.
However, the private treasury of the former Emperor Bei Ming was filled with a lot of gold, silver and treasures. After his death, all of these belonged to Si Han.
However, Si Han took out all these properties and used them for other purposes.
Si Han did not arrange new accommodation for An Xin and other envoys who were left behind.
Therefore, after leaving the palace, An Xin got on a carriage and returned to the embassy.
When I walked in, I saw Bai Yuheng, Xuanyuan He and others were there too.
Seeing her coming back, everyone stood up. An Xin smiled politely at them and said, "Everyone please sit down. You're welcome."
After all, I am the owner of this temporary residence, so I still have to show the most basic courtesy.
"Master An, I heard that you were summoned by the Emperor of Beiming to attend the morning court. Are you okay?"
An Xin saw the sincere concern in the eyes of several people, and he also became more sincere, "It's okay, he just wanted me to help him collect some debts from a long time ago."
"What kind of account is it? Since Lord An needs to personally help him collect it, it must not be a simple matter," Su Yanqiu frowned, "Lord An, you have to think carefully before making a decision."
Leng Xiangbai also agreed with what Su Yanqiu said and looked at An Xin worriedly.
An Xin raised the corner of his mouth and smiled helplessly, "He kept us here just to use us for his own purposes. Do you think he will let me refuse?"
The people sitting in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. Their fate was now in the hands of the new Emperor of Bei Ming, and there were some things they could not refuse.
The best wake-up call for those delegations who chose to leave halfway and met with accidents and their lives or deaths were unknown was the best wake-up call for them.
Otherwise, how could the information be found out so quickly by the people they sent out? It must be that some people wanted to make an example of someone and frighten them.
He just wants them to work for him obediently, otherwise they will bear the consequences themselves. Those who rebel will definitely not end well.
An Xin saw the few people who were depressed for a moment, and smiled, "Let me tell you something happy.
Although I promised Si Han to help him get the money, it's not for nothing."
Jiang Xuan saw a hint of cunning in An Xin's eyes and knew that this guy might not have really suffered any loss, so he shook his head slightly and raised the corner of his mouth slightly to smile.
I'm afraid there are not many people in this world who can really make her suffer.
"Oh." Bai Yuheng didn't think An Xin could get any luck with an emperor, so he asked in confusion: "What do you mean?!"
Xuanyuan He also said: "Master An, please elaborate."
Su Yanqiu, Leng Xiangbai and the others also looked at An Xin, waiting for her next words.
An Xin stroked his chin and looked at them and said, "I'm afraid that everyone who came to Beiming for the mission didn't bring much cash with them, right?"
The others nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
"Who would carry so much cash when traveling so far? It's not only cumbersome, but also dangerous."
An Xin: "But the silver bills of different countries are rarely interchangeable. It is convenient to exchange them in one's own country, but in other countries, they can only be exchanged with large trading companies.
Because they want to do business and trade in various countries, they are willing to exchange silver bills from other countries, but exchanging silver bills with them will greatly reduce their own deposits by three or four tenths. "
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
When everyone thought about the little cash they had left and the thick stack of banknotes they carried with them, their faces turned so dark that ink could have dripped out of them.
One hundred taels of silver notes could only be exchanged for sixty or seventy taels of silver in cash. They had never thought that those merchants were so hateful. This was even more cruel than robbery.
If they really cannot return to their country for a long time, they may all become paupers.
The group of noble men who had never worried about money fell silent for a moment.
An Xin saw that they all had bitter faces and shook her head, thinking that such expressions affected their beauty.
So he decided to tell them that he might earn his first huge sum of money here in Beiming to cheer them up.
"Emperor Bei Ming promised me that I would be paid 10% of the debt I recover this time." An Xin began to brag: "When this time comes, I will be rich. Since we know each other, I will definitely not watch you starve to death."
Everyone: "..." Thank you!!
Everyone also knew that An Xin said this on purpose because he noticed that they were feeling a little depressed.
Sure enough, everyone rolled their eyes when they heard her say that.
Which of them didn't have tens of thousands of taels of silver notes on them? Even if they exchanged some silver in Beiming, the most they could do was to live a simpler life in terms of food, clothing and other expenses.
There is no question of starving to death.
Look, An Xin is looking at them with a teasing smile.
A group of knowledgeable men blushed at the same time because of their own dejection just now.
"If there's no money, we have to earn it ourselves," An Xin's dark eyes were unusually calm. "Do you really think that if I don't help Si Han get the money back, he will have no other options?"
The person sitting in the hall at this moment was really stupid.
Of course, everyone understood that the reason why Si Han asked An Xin to collect the money owed to those wealthy and powerful families was that he just didn't want to have a head-on conflict with those people.
It's not that there is no way to get the money back, but after weighing the pros and cons, I don't want to fall out with those ministers.
