Chapter 305: The money manager is away, so you can make a big profit!!
Behind the Quchun government office, ten miles east, at the foot of the nameless mountain.
Jiang Yingcheng held her handsome father's hand, stretched her neck, and kept looking into the cellar that the secret guards had just found.
My eyes are busy, and my heart is always grumbling—
【hiss!!】
Jiang Yingcheng, who had already learned the amount of money in the box from 007, took a deep breath.
[The money here is enough to support dozens of Cheng Chengs at the same time! ]
The chubby little hands unconsciously counted the total amount of stolen money summarized on the panel. The moment that shocking number was spoken, several gasps were clearly heard on the field!
Wow!!
Several figures in the crowd stiffened for a short time, then shook their heads left and right. After confirming that the Minister of Revenue did not suddenly appear like Lu Yao, their minds instantly became active!
When the money manager is not around, you can make a lot of money!!
Before the piles of gold and silver were pulled to the ground, the ministers present looked at each other thoughtfully, and then began their own performances.
Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu suddenly sighed and sounded the first battle drum of the day.
After sighing, he gave a look to Pu Yuanzhou, the Minister of Rites, who also worked in the Ministry of Rites.
Pu Yuanzhou: “…”
I understood it, but I didn't dare to move.
Pu Yuanzhou smiled bitterly.
The words of his boss successfully attracted the attention of everyone around him. With his weak body of a fourth-rank official, he managed to withstand the sharp gazes of a group of high-ranking officials.
Bitter tears kept flowing into her heart: "Sir, why are you sighing?"
Very fragile, but still pretending to be strong.
The ministers present: "..."
Damn it, they got the upper hand!
It’s just different when you have your own people there to cooperate with you!!
but……
According to the number in the little guy's heart...
Even if the Ministry of Rites gets the upper hand, it's not a big deal.
Everyone changed their minds and temporarily relaxed their worries.
Chu Jiaxu sighed again: "It's okay, Chu just felt something when he saw this scene..."
After he finished speaking, he raised his eyebrow and gave Pu Yuanzhou another suggestive look.
Pu Yuanzhou: “…”
Pu Yuanzhou: "How do you feel, sir?"
"Alas..." Chu Jiaxu's eyes were filled with sorrow, "I just feel that the lives of the common people in Quchun are too hard."
He raised his head slightly and looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle: "Just a mere evil county magistrate can take away so much money... The resources of an area are limited. The gold and silver in this cellar are all taken from the people, but cannot be used for the people. I simply cannot imagine how the people who have been robbed of their money and property can live..."
The speech was passionate and righteous. Although everyone knew that it was just a brick to attract jade, they couldn't help but show some emotion on their faces.
Yes... Life here must be so hard for the people...
I only know that one person in the county has taken so much money. If the whole Quchun follows suit, everyone will be exploited...
well.
Lament the hardships of people’s lives!
Jiang Yanchuan's index finger kept stroking the jade ring on his hand and he didn't say anything for a while.
Jiang Yingcheng looked at her Uncle Chu blankly, her heart filled with confusion: [Ah...]
The moment this voice in his heart rang out, Chu Jiaxu's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
An ominous premonition suddenly arose, and before he could open his mouth to interrupt, the young man's childish voice rang out again -
[But——the things in the cellar are all the protection fees collected from those thieves...]
[This county magistrate is very smart. He knows that if he exploits the people too much, it will easily arouse the people's resistance. That's why he went through so much trouble and personally cultivated a large group of traitors, and only exploited them from beginning to end...]
[The gang of anti-thieves ate frugally and even made various goods in between studying the handouts for the organization to sell at the market. They got up earlier than chickens and slept later than dogs, but all the money they earned went into the county magistrate's cellar...]
The huhu voice made a sudden turn and uttered a soul-searching question: [Don’t these thieves have any dignity?!]
This is different from the rebels she had seen in the novels before!!
Qingliu present: Ah this——
...It seems, indeed, a bit lumpy, huh? !
Chu Jiaxu: “…”
The prepared speech was completely forgotten in an instant. The boy's last soul-torturing question kept replaying in his mind. Chu Jiaxu's body froze for a long while before he could finally remember the prepared words.
"This Qu Chunzhi County has only been in office for a few years, but he has already accumulated such wealth." He said expressionlessly according to his previous thoughts, pretending to look down into the cellar, then slowly shook his head and said, "You may not know the value of the gold and silver inside."
"Let me tell you this, the gold and silver inside is more than five times the amount of money left over from the New Year's Day banquet in my Ministry of Rites!!"
The words were so sonorous and powerful that they made a loud sound when they hit the ground. The residual sound lingered in the place for several breaths before finally dissipating.
The ministers: “…”
It's really hard for you to lay such a long preface just to cry about poverty!!
Chu Jiaxu stood in front of the entrance to the cellar, with his hands behind his back. His scholarly character was fully revealed in his lofty back. Unfortunately—
Everyone present knew what kind of person he was.
The one who doesn't know is still intent on protecting the wealth that her "beautiful father" has laid for her.
Everyone looked at me with contempt, but in fact...
My eyes unconsciously drifted in the direction of the little guy.
The then Minister of Revenue, Jiao Hongmiao, was a well-known stingy person. The funds they applied for from the Ministry of Revenue were often approved at a 50% discount. If they deliberately applied for a high price, their application would be rejected on the grounds that it would disrupt the "market price".
The people have suffered from the Ministry of Revenue for a long time, but there is really no good solution.
This sum of money, which has not yet entered the Ministry of Revenue's eyes, is like a glittering sweet cake, constantly emitting the fragrance of money, attracting them to stretch out their tentative feet.
However, those who can hear the young man's voice know where the money came from. If you want to get a share of it, it still depends on the young man's willingness.
Jiang Yingcheng's face was blank: [Chu, Uncle Chu is here to ask for money?!]
After listening for so long, she finally understood her Uncle Chu's intention!
This is an attempt to take advantage of her little gold mountain!!
It was too much, but she had no reason to refuse.
The more Jiang Yingcheng thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and he almost couldn't breathe!
Everyone watched in amazement as the young man's eyes quickly gathered. Just as they were about to say something to ease his mood, they heard a familiar voice with a hint of resentment, ringing in everyone's ears -
[Uncle Chu made hot tea for Uncle Jiao for a month, and only managed to get such a small amount of funding. Wuwuwuwu… If Uncle Chu wants money, then Chengcheng should give some to Uncle——]
Chu Jiaxu: “…”
Chu Jiaxu: “???”
