Chapter 310 That should all belong to the Ministry of Revenue!
The ministers' eyes trembled, and they stared blankly at their colleagues headed by Jiao Hongmiao. They got off their horses with great vigor and walked straight to the front of the carriage where Emperor Mingze was, and saluted respectfully: "My Lord, Hongmiao is late!"
The three words "I'm late" are particularly sonorous, particularly sincere, and particularly...
A double entendre.
It was as if he had traveled hundreds of miles just to say these words.
There was no sound in the carriage for a while. Jiao Hongmiao's expression did not change at all. He continued, "Master, is the young lady also in the carriage? This time when I passed by Quchun, I also packed some local specialty cakes for the young lady."
The emphasis of this sentence fell on the two words "Qu Chun". At this point, several ministers headed by Pan Jifeng, who could not hear the little guy's voice, also understood the main purpose of Jiao Hongmiao and others' visit.
“…”
Ah this——
This is a bit embarrassing.
Although the gold and silver were not collected by the state treasury, they received the funds only after the approval of Emperor Mingze, but...
This situation inexplicably made them feel ashamed and helpless, as if they had secretly stolen a large sum of money to buy toys when the adult who manages the money was away, and then been discovered.
All the people with sullen expressions put away their weapons, reluctantly returned them to the car, carefully put them back to their original places, and cleaned the carriage.
——Just don’t face the vague sad and angry looks those people cast at me.
There was no response in the carriage where Emperor Mingze was for a long time.
Jiao Hongmiao stood outside the carriage with a few "victims" who did not get any money. He was overwhelmed with grief for a moment and could not help but groaning loudly.
My thoughts also drifted back to a few days ago——
This is the first time that the Crown Prince is in charge of the country. Although Emperor Mingze had made extremely detailed teaching arrangements before he left, many things still require these old ministers to spend more time and effort.
Emperor Mingze took away too many officials. Even though the government affairs after the New Year's Day banquet were not as heavy as usual, the few poor people who were left behind were still busy every day.
The time when I discovered something strange was a busy but normal afternoon.
That day, he and several of his colleagues were forced by the prince to stay and have lunch together, which delayed their return journey a little.
It was because of this delay that they unexpectedly encountered several teams transporting mahogany treasure chests.
The leader's eyes were evasive, and as soon as his eyes met his, his expression became visibly panicked.
At the time, he thought that some bad guys had sneaked into the palace, and he went forward to negotiate with the determination to sacrifice his life for the country, hoping to buy time for his companions to go back and seek support. Who would have thought that the truth was even more embarrassing than the bad guys sneaking into the palace! !
That should all belong to the Ministry of Revenue!
Ministry of household affairs!!
He is going to make trouble!!
As his thoughts returned to his mind, Emperor Mingze's sigh was heard in the carriage at this moment.
Jiang Yanchuan guessed that Jiao Hongmiao's anger had almost subsided, so he said solemnly, "Stop talking."
Jiao Hongmiao straightened his back suddenly!
"Then I'll tell you straight out!"
"I'm working diligently at home to take care of the family, and you've made a fortune out there, but you don't even think about supporting the family?!"
Not only did they not provide subsidies, they also gave pocket money to the group of people who went out to play with them!!
It was like the sky was falling when I woke up!!
Jiao Hongmiao's tone was full of accusation: "If I hadn't discovered it by chance, would you have kept it a secret?!"
Is this reasonable?!
Jiao Hongmiao tried to open his eyes wide, looking towards the carriage with an aggrieved expression, but the Emperor Mingze inside was as hard-hearted as iron, and he had no intention of lifting the curtain to take a look at these old folks who had been treated unfairly for no reason! !
Even more angry!
Jiang Yanchuan sighed deeply.
It’s not that he didn’t want to give it, but after the “everyone who sees it gets a share” was over that day, the little guy was already breathing heavily out of pain. If he had proposed to return the remaining money to the national treasury, he didn’t know how long it would take to completely appease the little guy…
However——
Now that they have chased here on their own, how much they can get depends on their own abilities.
Jiang Yanchuan asked: "Then what do you think?"
He finally lifted a small piece of the curtain, and the two sides looked at each other through the small gap. The atmosphere was tense and a little awkward.
The anxious ones were Jiang Yanchuan, Jiao Hongmiao and others, while the embarrassed one was Jiang Yingcheng, who was hiding behind her handsome father, with only a pair of big eyes sticking out.
[Wow, Uncle Jiao came to my house! ]
Didn't they say they would avoid Uncle Jiao and send him to the capital? How come they were still discovered?!
Jiao Hongmiao: “…”
Jiao Hongmiao stretched out a hand, spread out his five fingers, and made a very conspicuous "five": "I want 50% of the rest of yours!"
The voice was loud and clear, and was filled with ignorance and confusion about what had happened.
He originally wanted to take all of it, but he heard that those were all earned by Emperor Mingze himself from suppressing bandits, so he was not very confident in taking the money.
But!
It is obvious that several ministers following Emperor Mingze have received funds for their own departments, so his Ministry of Revenue must also have some!
Wen Zhi, the Minister of Justice, quickly added: "We only need 10%!"
Kan Hongxi: “I second the motion.”
Jiang Yanchuan: “…”
The ministers present: "..."
Qingliu who was present didn't even dare to breathe, and looked at the few people with shock and admiration, his eyes were bright and full of -
You are real warriors!
You ask for so much right away. What's the difference between this and trying to kill a kid?!
Minister of Rites Chu Jiaxu turned around and walked towards the carriage carrying snacks, trying to comfort the little guy with some snacks as soon as he started crying.
The Minister of Personnel Chu Dong ran to look for the little guy's favorite toy in recent days. In his haste, he forgot which carriage it was in, so he had to look for it one by one.
Each of the ministers found something to do, and the scene suddenly became lively.
Jiao Hongmiao did not turn around, but he also felt the actions of this group of people. He was at a loss, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a very abrupt and miserable cry from the carriage: [Wu Wa Ah Ah——]
[Cheng, Cheng, there's only so little money left, why, why are you giving away so much! ! ]
She cried miserably in her heart, but her face showed extreme forbearance.
Jiang Yingcheng clutched the sleeve of her handsome father, her little mouth pursed, and her eyes were filled with hot mist.
【Uoooooooo——】
Jiao Hongmiao: “…”
Wen Zhi: “…”
Kan Hongxi: “…”
There was only fear left in the determined eyes of several people.
No one told them that the money belonged to the young man!!
But the mouth had already been opened, and they couldn't just stop suddenly without any reason. Jiao Hongmiao regretted standing in the front so much that he didn't even have a place to hide, and was directly met with the young guy's resentful eyes.
His mind was working rapidly, trying to solve the current dilemma.
Before he could think of a suitable solution, the kid inside calmed himself down.
To be exact, she was coaxed into submission by her "Brother Tong"——
[Huh?! ]
[Can I get money in Xi'an Town? ! ]
