"How do you say that?"
This was the first time Emperor Wu of Xia had heard of this theory.
"Officials at the top want to be corrupt, and even if officials below them don't, some people will say they don't know what's good for them. Those who are not on the same page will be punished to death."
Wanwan looked at Emperor Wu of Xia obediently, holding a paper airplane in her hand and flying it back and forth. "So, what we need to do is to control the people in the court. As long as the officials above the third rank in the court are not greedy, the phenomenon of corruption below will be much better."
"Also... we must teach children from a young age to love their country and their people. We must be incorruptible."
Wanwan ran around the imperial study, her short legs looking like she would fall at any moment. The eunuchs and palace maids looked like they could scare the hell out of her at any moment.
It would be a big deal if this precious baby fell.
However, Wanwan usually doesn't cry when he falls, and every time he is about to fall, Xia Mochen seems to be able to catch him steadily at any time.
Emperor Wu of Xia sometimes thought this guard was quite good. It seemed that his attention was always on the little princess.
But, alas, excellence and worry are directly proportional.
"Wanwan is right."
Emperor Wu of Xia felt that this child was excellent in thinking and in all aspects.
Um?
It is because he is so outstanding that he has such an outstanding child. Yes, that's it.
On the third day, my uncle came over with the account book. It said: A total of five million taels!
"Only a few million, that's unlikely, right?"
Emperor Xia Wu stared, somewhat incredulous. Although over five million was a lot, it didn't seem quite like what Wanwan had described.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed... it is only five million taels, and this is already calculated according to the highest standards."
My uncle feels a little innocent. If they raid my house, they won’t think I’m greedy, right?
Emperor Wu of Xia naturally believed in the loyalty of the Yang family, and many things were basically handed over to the Yang family and several other upright officials.
"Uncle, this isn't the way to confiscate a property. Do you want me to teach you?"
Wanwan ran up to her uncle and said arrogantly.
"This... I've already turned the entire mansion upside down. What else can I do?"
My uncle also didn't believe that Wanwan had supernatural powers.
"Then let's go out of the palace and take a look. We can make at least several times more money, do you believe it?" Wanwan said with a boastful look on her face.
"This... isn't very likely." The uncle really couldn't think of any other good solution.
"bet?"
Wanwan looked at her confidently and said, "I'll bet one month's salary on you."
"Let's make a bet. If you lose, you can give some of the treasures in your palace to your uncle's unborn brother, okay?" This time, the eldest uncle didn't believe that he had the ability to see through the sky.
"Sure, but don't cry later. Your monthly salary is over a hundred taels of silver, right? It's all mine."
Wanwan said, opened her hands, and then said, "Daddy, let's go."
Emperor Wu of Xia also picked her up directly out of habit and looked at Wanwan lovingly, "Well, it depends on your performance."
Several people came to the Shangshufang again. Oh my god, his uncle had plundered everything so badly that not a single hair was left.
Everything that needed to be moved was moved. Looking at the empty yard, the uncle thought that he had won against Wanwan for the first time. It wasn't about the money, but it proved that he was not that useless.
But what I didn't expect was that Wanwan knocked here and there and then directly ordered, "Open this."
The next second, a dazzling display of gold emerged from the wall. Counting it, it turned out to be over 100,000 taels of gold and over 1,000,000 taels of silver.
[I seem to remember that the novel also mentioned how the mechanism works. That's right.]
Wanwan opened the secret compartment according to the mechanism, and Emma, a huge treasure trove appeared in front of everyone.
My uncle's jaw dropped in shock, it was unbelievable...
"So this is how corrupt officials hide their money. But little princess, I've roughly estimated the value of this small treasury to be around 10 million taels of silver. Is there anything else?"
My uncle laughed and said, "I don't believe you can find it."
Wanwan looked around and made a rough calculation.
[The approximate value should be around 20 million. Where did the remaining 10 million go?]
[Oh, the third flower bed.]
Wanwan was thinking, and suddenly, she ran out with her short legs, holding a flower bed.
"Little princess, it's just a broken flower bed. It's something that ordinary people have in their homes. It's not worth much."
The uncle kindly reminded her that she thought the little girl's IQ was off today. Later she found out that it was her own IQ that was off.
"Well, aren't you curious why such a broken stone would appear in the home of a corrupt official? Look, this stone is obviously uglier than the others."
Wanwan looked at her uncle with disdain and said, "Cut it open and you'll see. There's a priceless treasure inside."
“Is this true?”
The uncle suddenly felt that it was a bit inappropriate for Emperor Wu of Xia to ask him to confiscate the property. "Is this stone valuable?"
It wasn't until later, when someone cut it open, that they discovered... this damn thing, any piece you cut off is a piece of green jade.
My uncle was so surprised that his jaw almost dislocated. Damn, the world of corrupt officials is so scary. It completely refreshed my common sense.
[Hmph, you little brat. A high-ranking official doesn't understand the mindset of a corrupt official, eh?]
Wanwan grinned and couldn't help laughing when she saw her uncle's silly and cute look.
This was the first time Emperor Wu of Xia had seen such a thing. It was truly insane. These methods of hiding money were truly impressive.
"Wow, this way of hiding money is really worth learning. If I had such a superb method, I would not know that I would not have even a tael of silver as my own private money."
My uncle couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, it turns out I am such a simple man."
"Men are so pitiful." Wanwan couldn't help but sigh, "My father is still the best. After paying my mother's salary, it's all his."
"Your father has to pay salaries to many people."
Emperor Wu of Xia patted his head and said, "Every day, money is very tight, thinking about how to support such a large family."
Wanwan looked up at him and smiled like the spring sunshine.
[Yeah, my dad is really pitiful, working for people all over the country. His working hours are longer than those of ordinary people.]
Hearing Wanwan's thoughts, Emperor Wu of Xia couldn't hold back any longer. He didn't know when he would have a useful son. If he couldn't find one, then he would just continue to harm Wanwan!
I was gazing at the sky late at night when I suddenly noticed a rosy glow in the north. A rosy glow on a cloudy day?
Wanwan suddenly thought of something and looked at her uncle, "Uncle, your baby is about to be born. Go back quickly, we will take care of things here."
"ah?"
My uncle looked puzzled.
