Qian Ruoyu also didn't expect that the Prime Minister's Mansion today seemed to want to strip everything off of him.
You have to take something from yourself, get some benefits.
After thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu didn't have any countermeasures, he just wanted to delay Golden Lotus.
The longer Golden Lotus is delayed, the more confident Qian Ruoyu feels that she can take away the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
So Qian Ruoyu said calmly.
"Is the Prime Minister's Mansion really so short of money? If that's the case, I have a way."
When Qian Ruoyu said this, Qian Hongyi didn't say anything, but Huang said.
"Really?"
"Let's hear what you have to say."
After all, although she didn't really believe Qian Ruoyu, Qian Ruoyu was speaking in front of Qian Hongyi at this time, so Huang felt that she might not lie.
Qian Ruoyu spoke eloquently.
"Isn't that simple? Since I have good relations with the Queen, when I go to the palace, I will have a nice talk with the Queen and let the Queen talk to His Majesty. Your Majesty may be happy to reward you tens of thousands.
Two pieces of silver, wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
Huang was stunned when he heard Qian Ruoyu's words.
Because Huang didn't know whether Qian Ruoyu was joking or telling the truth.
At this time, Qian Hongyi also looked over strangely.
"You and the Queen are really so close?"
Qian Hongyi naturally didn't believe what Qian Ruoyu said. After all, the queen's reputation in the entire court was well known.
The queen is not a simple role.
The queen could even help the emperor at certain critical moments. It was for this reason that Qian Hongyi felt that what Qian Ruoyu said was not very reliable.
But Qian Ruoyu's purpose at this time was to delay time, so he continued to act stupid.
"Of course...otherwise, why would the Queen reward me with money? Why would she allow me to enter the palace at will?"
"Based on my relationship with the Queen, I'm afraid the Queen will be able to believe even if I just talk about a random amount. Otherwise, I'll tell the Queen that the Prime Minister's Mansion needs to be repaired due to the plague and the lack of repairs."
The Ministry of Household Affairs approved some money, but the Prime Minister did not dare to say it."
"So, let the queen help me and see if I can give out 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver."
After hearing these words, Qian Hongyi immediately shook his head.
"No."
"Your Majesty has already said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Although the Empress is very capable and has participated in political affairs, things are not what they used to be. If you just say that to the Empress, I am afraid it will arouse criticism. Then you will also
You'll get into trouble."
The reason why Qian Hongyi said this was not entirely because he cared about Qian Ruoyu, nor was he worried that something might happen to Qian Ruoyu, but he just didn't believe what Qian Ruoyu said.
It is indeed possible for the emperor to ask his subordinates to issue 10,000 taels of silver. Even he, the prime minister, can ask his subordinates to issue 5,000 taels of silver.
But this kind of thing can't be solved with tens of thousands of taels of silver. What's more, once the batch of ten thousand or twenty thousand taels of silver is really issued, the problem will be huge. Since his prime minister's mansion needs to be repaired, then other mansions also need to be repaired.
Doesn’t it cost money to repair it?
If he sets this precedent, it will not be easy for him to do the superficial work of the Prime Minister's Office.
It was precisely because of this thought that he rejected Qian Ruoyu like this.
"Forget it, no need!"
"Let's eat first. Everyone is hungry. Someone, please bring us some bowls and chopsticks."
That's right, until Qian Ruoyu came in, there were still only three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Qian Ruoyu's bowls and chopsticks were then brought up, but there was no excited expression on Qian Ruoyu's face. After all, for Qian Ruoyu, this was just a daily habit.
It was at this time that Qian Ruoyu took the initiative to ask.
"By the way, I remembered it. I'm afraid there should be one hundred taels of silver hidden in my little yard. If dad doesn't mind it, how about I take the one hundred taels of silver?"
When hearing these words, Qian Hongyi rolled his eyes helplessly.
To him, it was only a hundred taels of silver, and it didn't matter at all. Even if he casually walked around the six yamen, he could have thousands of more taels of silver on his hands, so why did he need these one hundred taels of silver?
He is a prime minister, not a beggar.
"That's all, there's no need to mention this matter again!"
After hearing what Qian Hongyi said, Qian Ruoyu immediately became more motivated and pursued and inquired repeatedly.
"What's the matter, Dad, don't you need my one hundred taels of silver? You are an honest official, and this one hundred taels of silver is not a small amount for you. Do you have any other money on hand?"
"
"If you still have money, maybe you can help me. I'll borrow five thousand taels of silver from you. What do you think?"
Now it was Qian Hongyi's turn to be stunned.
He never expected that when he asked Qian Ruoyu for money, he didn't get it, and Qian Ruoyu asked him to borrow five thousand taels of silver instead!
This is simply anti-customer-oriented through and through!
Mrs. Huang on the side was also stunned, who knew that Qian Ruoyu would bite back and directly ask for five thousand taels of silver.
Before the two of them could speak, Qian Ruoyu had already spoken directly.
"Oh, it's not just about the military camp recently. The prince needs a lot of military expenses, and he is still raising money everywhere. The Ministry of Household Affairs may not be able to give out so much money, so I am also trying to find ways to borrow money everywhere."
"I have borrowed a total of more than six hundred taels of silver from before to now, but I think if dad is so rich, he would lend me five thousand taels of silver, just five thousand taels!"
"I will return these five thousand taels of silver to you slowly. After all, the palace is not a living wage earner now. At least I can earn dozens of taels of silver every day to feed the servants."
"What do you think if I wait until the plague is over and I save these dozens of silver coins and return them to my father after I save five thousand taels?"
Qian Hongyi didn't know how to speak for a moment.
Qian Ruoyu's request was not shameless, nor was it forced. It did make Qian Hongyi feel like she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that Qian Hongyi was speechless, Huang quickly spoke.
"Oh, Yu'er, aren't you making things difficult for your father?"
"Since we have already said that your father is an honest official, he has saved so much money in his whole life, and now that he has been cheated away, how can he still have an extra five thousand taels of silver to lend to you?"
"You should be filial and filial to your father. If you have a lot of money, bring it to the Prime Minister's Mansion quickly. By the way, the one hundred taels of silver..."
