Chapter 979 Give the emperor a gift!
They all knew what this kid said, because they clearly saw how the old emperor was cheated.
Isn’t it just because of “face” that there are always people who don’t want to be face.
An old man with a clear face suddenly said, "My husband's family is poor and he can't afford the fourth-grade rice dumplings, so just eat an ordinary one."
Everyone was stunned and thought to themselves that Prime Minister Cao was still the thief who actually used his poor family to reject it, just to imitate it.
But whoever Ye Qiu was, he almost had a golden eye. Although the old man had patches on his court uniform, the boots on his feet were embroidered with dark gold thread, and he didn't know what kind of silk underwear was, and the cost was absolutely great. This guy was probably the high-ranking corrupt official among them.
How could Ye Qiu make him do what he wished? He sighed and said, "It seems that the treatment of officials in Aolai is really not good. Such a large official can't even take out a spirit stone. The emperor is just you are stingy. If you want a horse to run away, you won't give it to the horse. No wonder the surrounding countries say that Aolai's administrative efficiency is inefficient, and it seems that the salary is too low."
Ao Tianlong almost choked to death by Ye Qiu's words. How could this involve the treatment of officials? The blame was so wronged. Then he glared at the old man fiercely.
Prime Minister Cao was immediately glared at by the emperor and broke out in cold sweat. He explained to Ye Qiu: "Don't talk nonsense. My salary is not low at all. The emperor treats us very well. But I often support some poor students. Forget it, I will try this rice dumpling that the old emperor likes to eat, even if I tie my trousers and belts."
When Ye Qiu saw that Prime Minister Cao surrendered, his face suddenly returned to its original color, and apologized to Ao Tianlong: "I just made a fool of myself."
Then Ye Qiu bowed to the surrounding civil and military officials and said, "Do you still have poor families?"
Everyone was shocked. This kid was so hurtful. Prime Minister Cao could even make this kid treat officials with a big deal. If anyone said that their family was poor, wouldn’t he beggared by the emperor?
"No, no, we're all here."
"The emperor is very generous and even gives us a reward."
"The emperor is a wise king of Aolai. How could he be short of money?"
Ye Qiu nodded with a smile and said, "That's good, that's good. I'll say that Aolai is the richest country in the surrounding four countries. How can officials lack money?"
"Hurry up, old shopkeeper, take four hundred rice dumplings first according to the head, and make some ginger tea for Xiaoshitou. The ginger tea will be free. If the man gives the reward, he will be embarrassed, so he will leave it for you to get married in the future."
After Ye Qiu said this, all the civil and military officials regretted their actions of protecting the emperor's superiors. Ten rice dumplings and ten medium-grade spirit stones, how long will it take to get back? With these ten spirit stones, they can really cultivate several younger generations.
An old official with a crutch said immediately: "Little shopkeeper, I can't eat ten when I'm old, just one."
Others also reacted and said, "Yes, we had eaten before the court meeting and couldn't hold it in our stomachs."
"This rice dumpling is not easy to digest. It's time for me, an elderly person, to accumulate food after eating it."
Ye Qiu waved his hand, looked at the old man with a crutch, and asked curiously: "Sir, how many ranks of official do you are?"
The old man wondered why Ye Qiu asked him this way, so he paused and looked at the emperor and said respectfully: "As favored by the emperor, I have been a third-rank counselor, and I have hung silverfish bags, but I don't kneel when I see the saint."
Ye Qiu nodded heavily and asked again: "I see that the old man is over 70 years old and is about to retire, but he is still from the third grade. Isn't he the third grade?"
The old man was stunned. What was this boy talking about? Why did he talk about his official position? He frowned slightly and said, "I don't understand what the shopkeeper means."
Ye Qiu sighed and said, "That's because you don't know how to be grateful. You said that you are favored by the emperor, but you don't know how to be a human being at all. If you can't eat it, you can offer it to the emperor. The emperor is young and strong, but still has a golden elixir cultivation. How many rice dumplings can't be eaten? You are so ignorant, the emperor is so disappointed. If it were me, I wouldn't be upright."
"puff……"
Ao Tianlong sprayed out a mouthful of ginger tea. What does this mean? It clearly means that the counselor can't do anything and can't flatter him. So he suppressed him?
The other officials also looked at Ye Qiu thoughtfully. Although the little shopkeeper said this a little criticized the government, he explained the true meaning of the officialdom.
When it comes to giving gifts, who has ever thought of giving gifts to the emperor? The world belongs to the emperor, but when you think about it, this emperor is also an official, and he is still the biggest official. It is the duty to do political achievements and practice. Everyone is doing the duty, but you do practical things and give gifts. Who do you like?
"Your Majesty, I have figured it out. You have been worried about the country's government affairs and have no time to practice. I feel distressed when I look at it. So I buy ten and eat one of the remaining ones for the emperor first."
"Yes, the emperor gave his life and youth for the country. We don't know how to care about the emperor."
"The shopkeeper made sense. I decided to take out my private money to buy twenty rice dumplings for the emperor, just ask everyone not to tell my inner friend, otherwise they would have to have a fire in the backyard!"
"Mr. Guo is loyal and courageous, and I admire you. I will buy thirty of them in Futianqiu!"
"This is an ancient jade passed down from my family, and it is also a magic weapon. It has the effect of calming the mind and calming the spirit. It is worth 100 medium-grade spirit stones. The shopkeeper will give me a hundred!"
All civil and military officials were crazy. This was an opportunity to blatantly bribe the emperor. It was absolutely not to be missed. All civil and military officials present almost showed up to spend money and buy rice dumplings.
Ao Tianlong was stunned when he looked at it and hurriedly said, "My dear friends, there is no need..."
"Your Majesty, don't worry about it. We have invited all of you to eat today!"
The civil and military officials were so eager to win, one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and another ten more were added when they saw that others had surpassed them.
Ye Qiu also sighed on his face: "Looking at the great scene of the emperor, the emperor and his ministers, who are so deeply in love with each other, the people who see each other will be moved to tears."
Ao Tianlong looked at Ye Qiu and didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In general, the mission of the ancestor was completed, but the little shopkeeper clearly wanted to kill the ministers.
And at this time, everyone in the live broadcast room was already laughing.
"Hahaha, General Ye 666, played with all the civil and military officials in a few words."
"General Ye is the only one who does business in this way!"
"I still dare to cry! It's clear that tears of joy are shed. I'll calculate it for you. From the beginning, more than 1,200 rice dumplings have been ordered!"
