Chapter 58 What Li Gan is good at

No one is willing to hand over their wallets, but the boss is the one who gives the money.

Since Li Yuan took over the treasury, he has never lost the food, clothing and expenses of the late emperor.

The late emperor gradually got used to this, so he did not mention the matter of the treasury again in a tacit understanding. The emperor's small treasury was always in the hands of Li Yuan.

Now that Li Gan ascended the throne, Li Yuan never mentioned the need to return the treasury.

"What excuse Li Yuan used to take away my five thousand taels of silver?" Li Gan gritted his teeth.

"Return to Your Majesty, the records of the treasury say that they want to help the poor royal family." Wei Zhongxian returned in a low voice.

Li Gan felt powerless: "Yes, Duke Tang is still in charge of the clan's mansion..."

"Five thousand taels of silver... are all my money..."

There is no place to use money now, but what if there is one in the future? The treasury is under control by Li Yuan. If you want to get stuck Li Gan’s neck, it will be easy!

His own small treasury was actually in charge of others, which made Li Ganru stuck in his throat.

His father asked for money, and Duke Tang gave it to him, but will Duke Tang give it to him, who is the nephew, still ask for money?

Li Gan felt that this was a tough thing.

By then, the treasury has no money, will it take the food from Guanglu Temple? Li Gan felt that he might as well die.

‘What excuse should we use to get the treasury back?’

It may not be possible to succeed, after all, Duke Tang is still his nominal uncle.

Is it reasonable for parents to keep their New Year’s money for their children?

Li Gan frowned and walked for a few steps, thinking about it for a moment: ‘Do you have to wait for an opportunity…’

For example, all the money in the treasury was used up, and then I asked the Duke of Tang for money.

If he refuses, he can take this opportunity to get back to the treasury.

If he agreed... wouldn't that be better?

Always want it!

Li Gan turned his head and looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Big companion, you should pay a thousand taels of silver when you go to the treasury."

He decided to test Li Yuan's meaning first.

Wei Zhongxian was stunned: "Your Majesty, what reason should I use to withdraw the money?"

"Are you going to have any reason?"

Li Gan waved his hand: "Just say that my diet is too cold now, I want to eat something good!"

Wei Zhongxian responded with a wry smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will try it today."

He lowered his head and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the treasury is now under the control of the people of the Duke of Tang's Mansion. Every expenditure must be asked clearly and carefully verified before approval. Moreover, after spending the money, they will also send someone to inspect the purpose of the money."

"In fact, the chefs who cook for His Majesty and the food supply are all inspected by the Duke of Tang's Mansion."

"So troublesome..."

Li Gan felt that the teeth were so painful. No wonder he ate so well. He only spent so little money a day. It turned out that someone was watching it.

"Then let's forget it first." He waved his hand helplessly. Such an excuse for saying casually will inevitably be exposed.

Moreover, it was really a bit distressing for him to use a thousand taels of silver to improve his food.

After temporarily dispelling this idea, Li Gan walked forward a few steps, came to the box that Wei Zhongxian had just carried in, and opened it with his own hands.

There was a white jade pot in the box.

The bent neck spout, the round body of the pot is carved with cloud patterns, white and moist, and a crisp sound will be stirred with a light tap.

Li Gan played for a moment and sighed: "Heshen is really a big family and a big business."

Wei Zhongxian replied on one side: "After returning home with the Lord, he said that he had received wine from His Majesty today, but he left halfway due to illness, which disturbed His Majesty's elegant mood, so he specially offered this item to apologize."

Li Gan nodded. Heshen was a good person, a loyal minister.

Just after returning home, I sent such a jade pot, and five thousand taels of silver...

etc!

Li Gan was suddenly stunned. Why did Heshen give him money? He still packed it in a red envelope?

It’s nothing to give this jade pot to the emperor, but it’s too inappropriate to give the money directly? It’s also very extravagant!

This thing doesn't seem to be given to the emperor, but rather it seems to be given to...

Li Gan turned his head and looked at Wei Zhongxian with a strange expression: "Big partner, this red envelope and silver note should be given to you by Heqing's family, right?"

"Your Majesty shines thousands of miles, and you can see the truth clearly!"

Wei Zhongxian replied without hesitation: "But the one who is my majesty, so I didn't mention this just now."

The old eunuch is still very smart. He knew that no one had given money before, but now someone suddenly started giving money. The changes in this came from His Majesty, not himself.

If there was no emperor, who would have thought of him, an old eunuch? When the emperor distrusts him, it is when he "dead".

So Wei Zhongxian was very clear-headed and knew that the most important thing at the moment was to safeguard His Majesty’s trust in him, not anything else.

Li Gan was also a little surprised by Wei Zhongxian's reaction: "Big partner? Do you really think so?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, everything I say is true."

Li Gan held the silver note, not only did he not feel very happy, but instead sighed quietly.

In Wei Zhongxian's puzzled gaze, Li Gan said sadly: "Big companion, I am not a good emperor either... You are the earliest old man to accompany me. Logically speaking, I should reward you well after I ascend the throne."

"But I don't have much money in my hands, nor do I have anything to reward you..."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned and hurriedly knelt down and leaned over: "Being able to follow His Majesty to serve is the blessing I have cultivated for several lifetimes. I dare not ask for anything else."

Li Gan held his arm and said to himself: "In the days after ascending the throne, if I had no grand companion to handle matters in the palace, I would never have lived so carefree. Everyone in the palace and court had their own thoughts, and only grand companion was completely loyal to me..."

The old eunuch was so moved that if he said this from someone else's mouth, he would just act like a fart.

But it would be very different from his Majesty's mouth.

The old eunuch raised his head in tears. It turned out that His Majesty knew all this, and he saw it all.

"Your Majesty, I..."

Li Gan put the five thousand taels lightly into Wei Zhongxian's hands: "The situation is difficult, and I can't promise anything to my grand companion. But if I can speak in the court in the future, I will definitely entrust the grand companion with important tasks."

The emperor's entrusted important tasks is equal to glory and wealth.

So although Li Gan said so much, he can actually summarize it in two words: Painting cake.

Of course, the illusory big cake will only be disgusted by people, but the cake he drew can be seen!

At least Wei Zhongxian can see clearly!

His Majesty had just been to court three times, so many ministers could kneel down and shout long live, and even let officials like Heshen give this and that!

Now that it’s like this, are the good days in the future still far away?

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground again excitedly: "I only hope to be able to serve Your Majesty at all times, and I dare not ask for anything else!"

"Get up quickly, big companion."

Li Gan held him up again and put the five thousand taels of silver bills into his hands.

"This money belongs to Your Majesty, I dare not..."

"Since you say it's mys, then I will reward you!"

Li Gan smiled and said, "You can't put this money in the treasury anymore, right? That's not ours! Let the big partner take care of my money in the future!"

Look, look, this is not an empty pancake!

As soon as he finished speaking, he gave Wei Zhongxian an errand in charge of money.

Although strictly speaking, Li Gan has no money yet, he only has these two things sent by Heshen.

But Wei Zhongxian was still a little excited. Taking care of money means absolute trust! What is more precious than His Majesty's trust?

"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrusted!"
