Chapter 116 The Regent Has Lost His Face

Ye Shang frowned slightly: "If you are not happy, I will just kill all the people from the Ministry of Works. Why bother?"

"That would be too advantageous for them, Lord Regent. Killing is not the solution. Besides, if you kill them, others will only think that you are tyrannical, not that they made a mistake.

If they can reach an official position like the Ministry of Industry, they must have merits. If you can teach them well, let them improve."

If they can't change it well... Hey, then let them know what life is worse than death.

Why do you want to kill someone who is so good? It's so bloody.

Xu Xian was frightened when he heard this. He was worried about the adults in the Ministry of Industry and almost died because of his complaint.

He was also worried about himself. If they really died and people knew that he was the reason why he complained to the regent, he probably wouldn't be able to be the Minister of Household Affairs for much longer.

The relationship between the imperial court and the imperial court is complicated, and the problem cannot be solved by killing one or two people.

This girl is right.

"You are so troublesome." The Prince Regent brushed his sleeves and stood up: "Are you done? Let's go and have a rest."

Yun Wu hummed: "Master Xu, I have written down in detail what to do in the booklet. You can find some people who know farming to discuss how to do it. I will figure out a way to save the remaining five thousand miles of silver.

Don’t delay this matter, implement it as soon as possible, the sooner the better.”

Xu Xian saluted her respectfully: "I thank you girl on behalf of the people."

Yun Wu wanted to say something else, but Ye Shang pulled her into his arms and pulled her away.

Xu Xian did not dare to delay any longer, so he went home to his mother, took out all the money in the account, and took it to the Ministry of Accounts.

The old woman cried and said: "You loser, this money is reserved for you to find a wife!"

"Mom, you don't have to worry. I am a minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and I am worried that I will not be able to find a wife. If the bride price is less, I will treat her better in the future."

My mother laughed angrily: "You can tell me, where is your wife? You should find her for me!"

"There will be." Xu Xian took the money and went to the Ministry of Finance.

He called together several other officials from the Ministry of Revenue and discussed the matters in the booklet, and then showed the booklet to them.

How could Xu Xian explain that Yun Wu had nothing to do with other household officials taking out money? That was his business.

Even though the cake was handed to him, if he still starved to death, then she could only say that he deserved it.

Yun Wu was pulled into the regent's bedroom. Ye Xiang took off his mask and turned around to see her lying on the couch motionless.

Ye Xiang asked coldly: "Does anyone else know about the thing you gave me?"

"Of course not, I'll bring it to you as soon as I finish it." Yun Wu replied lazily with her eyes closed.

"Who told you that thing?" Ye Xiang asked in a deep voice.

It's impossible for her to think of it herself. How could she know this as a woman who has never left the government?

"I read it in a book." Yun Wu had already known that he would definitely have questions and would ask, and she had already thought of her reply.

"Which book talks about these things?" Ye Shang frowned slightly, wondering what kind of messy books this woman was reading.

Can she read such miscellaneous books?

"I won't tell you. Anyway, you can use that thing if you can't hold it in anymore. It's not a scandal, it's just a physiological need."

Yun Wu turned over: "Stop disturbing me, I'm going to sleep."

Ye Xiang stared at her back and laughed angrily. Did this woman really think that thing could help him?

If he really couldn't help it, he would let her lie here innocently!

Ye Xiang sat down at the desk and glanced at a few books. He hated intervening in the affairs of the court, and he would only take action when things did not please him.

He didn't expect these people to dare to do such tricks under his nose now.

Notes on important matters are usually handed to him for him to look over. Although he doesn't do much about it, he knows some general things.

But the matter of building the Qianqiu Building for the Queen Mother was never brought to him.

very good.

The regent called Bao Yi: "Go to the palace and tell my good nephew to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" and "Shang Shu" a thousand times.

If he still doesn’t know where he went wrong after copying it a thousand times, then he should go to the imperial mausoleum to guard the tomb of his ancestors.”

To guard the mausoleum is to change the emperor.

Bao Yi was surprised. His master had not been so angry for a long time. It seemed that he was really angry this time.

Can you not be angry? He asked Yun Wu to do these things, but Yun Wu had prepared everything, and the Ministry of Finance told him that he had no money.

The money was used to build Qianqiu Tower for the Queen Mother.

This made him, the regent, lose all face, and he, the regent, didn't even know about the construction of the Qianqiu Tower.

Neither the Queen Mother nor the Emperor mentioned it in front of him.

If the Ministry of Revenue had not been unable to come up with the money this time, he might never have known that the Qianqiu Building cost hundreds of thousands.

This was a trivial matter, and he really didn't care about it. He just built it. Since he was the Queen Mother, there was nothing wrong with enjoying it.

But these hundreds of thousands were taken out when the treasury was at its most empty, and the treasury did not even have five thousand taels of silver!

Can the regent not be angry? The treasury under his power cannot even withdraw five thousand, which makes him lose face in front of Yun Wu.

If he loses his face, then no one can have any.

Yun Wu also knew that Ye Shang must be angry. No matter what, he was still in charge of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he couldn't even get out the five thousand taels of silver from the treasury.

What if a catastrophic disaster suddenly occurs and we watch people die?

Will building a Qianqiu Tower really help Qianqiu?

If you want to spend money from the national treasury so squandering, it doesn't matter if the national treasury is full, but this money is emergency money.

After Yun Wu got up from sleep, she started walking around various aristocratic families. Because the Prince Regent helped her twice, everyone knew that she had a close relationship with the Prince Regent, so she came to the door, and the master's family did not dare to neglect.

Yun Wu made it clear to each house why she came to the house. She had a way to increase grain production, and the Ministry of Finance also thought it was feasible. However, the Ministry of Finance had no money, so she came out to raise money.

Why does the Ministry of Household Affairs have no money? It’s because they had to build the Qianqiu Building for the Queen Mother, so all the money was taken away, and the Ministry of Household Affairs only had less than 5,000 yuan left.

Everyone couldn't believe it, but the treasury had lost five thousand silver?

Poorer than their own families?

Yun Wu did not want them to donate too much. She only said that if the grain seeds could increase production, they would be distributed according to money, so each family only needed to donate a hundred taels.

Any aristocratic family can easily take out a hundred taels.

Yun Wu hadn't even visited a few houses before the news spread throughout Ling'an. When Yun Wu wanted to visit a few more houses the next day, someone took the initiative to send the money.

Five thousand taels were raised in less than three days.

Therefore, in less than three days, everyone in Ling'an knew that in order to build Qianqiu Tower for the Queen Mother, the Ministry of Revenue could not even come up with the five thousand taels to get seeds for the people.

When the Queen Mother found out about this, she almost vomited blood. Does this mean that in order to build Qianqiu Tower, she even took the people's seed money?

When the Ministry of Industry proposed to build a Qianqiu Tower for her, she was naturally happy. Although officials from the Ministry of Revenue said that the national treasury was tight, Shangshu Lin agreed.

How did she know that the treasury was so tight that it didn't even have five thousand taels!
