Fu Yuehua, who was a little aggrieved at first, smiled at the end.
Even if this bitch man has some conscience, at least he didn't blind me to my good intentions.
Although Fu Yuehua was talking about a bitch in his heart, a sweet feeling emerged.
Although he was exhausted after a day of busy sericulture planning, he still said out of nowhere: "Why don't you go to my room to sleep at night."
As he spoke, he seemed to remember his own fighting power. His face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Yin Ping nervously and continued: "Yin Ping will go too."
Li Xiuzhu suddenly smiled, this wonderful life is coming soon.
Early the next morning, Li Xiuzhu left the house and went to the palace feeling refreshed.
Well, it was early only for Li Xiuzhu. No one would think that it was still early at ten o'clock in the morning.
Fu Yuehua also realized that now, he woke up late for the first time.
Li Kuo, who had just left the morning court, heard Li Xiuzhu waiting for him in the imperial study.
Li Kuo was startled and nodded.
Seeing Li Kuo, Li Xiuzhu stood up.
"I have met Your Majesty, and I am here to tell you the good news."
Li Kuo was startled, why was he so happy?
The Northland has also opened up in the past two days, and there is a military situation every day. How can there be any joy?
Moreover, although military rations are still in sufficient supply, the subsequent expenses for food and armor have not yet been settled.
This guy has to sell his job.
Wait, selling your job?
Li Kuo's expression changed, and he, who had always been unhappy, had expectations in his eyes.
"The official is sold?"
Li Xiuzhu smiled. Talking to smart people saves trouble.
"Your Majesty is wise. One of the seven-rank officials will be appointed as a foreign minister, one will be assigned as a casualty from the seventh-rank official, two will be assigned to the eighth-rank official official, two will be assigned to the eighth-rank official, and the tenth will be assigned as a sinecure of the ninth rank."
Li Kuo was startled when he heard this. He sold so much of the ninth-grade idle job, but only a little bit of the others?
How much money can this make?
Li Kuo frowned upon hearing this, obviously not satisfied with the result.
Li Kuo sighed in his heart. After all, he was a talker and weak in his work. He should have known better that he should not have been allowed to sell.
Age limits my horizons, so I don’t dare to take big steps.
However, he was still optimistic about Li Xiuzhu, so he decided to raise some points.
"Oh, you, you are too cowardly to get these official positions? If nothing else, at least you have to sell me a few of the seventh-grade idle positions. Otherwise, how can I start the Northern Expedition?"
Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this.
A question mark on the forehead.
I'm timid???
Can you spend millions of silver on your Northern Expedition?
Li Xiuzhu was silent for a moment and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty needs millions of taels of silver for the Northern Expedition?"
This is the first time he's doing something, so he can't leave a bad impression on his superiors. Otherwise, how can he make money?
You know, the benefits he received alone were worth 200,000 yuan. The benefits he received alone were more than 100,000 taels.
If he is not allowed to do this in the future, won’t he lose his livelihood?
Li Kuo became even more disappointed after hearing what Li Xiuzhu said.
Why can the Northern Expedition use so much money? In previous years, after a war, even counting the consolation payments, it was probably 500,000 taels, which was enough.
The most he raised this time was solace money, and three hundred thousand taels should be enough.
Of course there are those with families who can serve as soldiers, but there are also many orphans, and with the deserters, there won't be much use.
"It's probably still 300,000 taels short, at least 300,000 taels. I don't care how many officials you sell, you have to help me fill this hole."
Li Xiuzhu was startled when he heard this, so few?
Got it, he shouldn’t think I’m selling it cheap, right?
Are you saying I'm timid? You little noob.
Li Xiuzhu thought about it and took out a dozen banknotes.
"Your Majesty, this is a deposit of 750,000 taels. How would you like it?"
As soon as Li Xiuzhu took out something, Wang Defa silently stepped forward and stood in front of Li Kuo. However, when he saw Li Xiuzhu taking out a dozen papers, Wang Defa quietly stepped back half a step.
But when he heard that it was 750,000 taels of silver, Wang Defa suddenly became short of breath.
Not only him, Li Kuo was shocked when he heard Li Xiuzhu say 750,000 taels.
Is this money for selling an official? How could a few petty officials sell 750,000 taels?
No, this seemed to be a deposit just now?
Before Wang Defa could step forward to take the silver bottle, Li Kuo had already jumped over Wang Defa and quickly grabbed the silver note in front of him.
One card was ten thousand taels, and there were a dozen of 75. Li Kuo was breathing rapidly while holding on to the dozen.
Not nervous, but excited, as if a big stone weighing on my heart had been lifted.
"Xiuzhu, how did you do it? There are just a few petty officials."
Li Xiuzhu looked at Li Kuo with satisfaction and said, "Your Majesty, a junior official also has his uses."
"For businessmen, an identity is what they urgently need, but they are not so short of money."
Li Kuo nodded after hearing this and continued to ask: "How much did you sell it for? Did you just say the deposit? How did you set the price?"
Li Xiuzhu had already guessed that there was such a question and did not intend to lie about it, otherwise he would probably be liquidated.
So he spoke truthfully:
"From the ninth rank, the idle position is fifty thousand taels, and the official position is eighty thousand taels."
"The ninth-grade official has seventy thousand taels of idle posts and one hundred thousand taels of powerful posts."
"From the eighth grade, the idle position is one hundred thousand taels, and the powerful position is one hundred and thirty thousand taels."
"The eighth grade official has 130,000 taels for idle positions and 170,000 taels for powerful positions."
"From the seventh grade, the idle position is 150,000 taels, and the powerful position is 200,000 taels."
"The seventh grade official has two hundred thousand taels for idle positions and twenty-five taels for powerful positions."
…
"Hiss~" Even Li Kuo took a breath. How could this be cowardice? This was a lion opening his mouth.
It was more than three times more expensive than he thought.
"Well done, my dear, well done."
Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu smiled and took out a piece of paper again and said, "This is the official position they are seeking. If there is no vacancy, they can get a similar one."
"But please Your Majesty, please implement it as soon as possible so that I can recover the remaining money."
"The other thing is the issue of the house. Can Your Majesty give me my share first? I also want to buy a house as soon as possible and tidy it up."
"I can't let the princess get married when I haven't even finished building my own house yet."
Li Kuo slapped his forehead when he heard this.
"This is an oversight on my part. I originally wanted to give a house as a princess's residence, but then I realized that there are two princesses, and you, my dear, are not an ordinary minister, so a princess's residence may not be suitable."
"This matter hasn't been finalized yet, but it's my fault."
"But forget about buying a house..."
After thinking for a while, Li Kuo said: "When the late emperor was in power, the grand master caused rebellion and left a house behind."
"The house is very big and nice. It's not as big as the palace, but it's more luxurious than the palace. I just don't know if you dare to live in it."
"Of course, it may not be so magnificent inside now."
Li Xiuzhu understood this. Wasn't it because the gold and silver finance department was confiscated? At most, there were only a few tables, chairs and benches left.
But do you dare to ask for this house?
Li Xiuzhu smiled, is there anything I dare not do?
"Your Majesty is joking. Don't tell me you give me a house. I dare to ask for a private courtyard."
Wang Defa rolled his eyes when he heard this, you are such a tiger!
Not to mention Wang Defa, even Li Kuo rolled his eyes in his heart.
However, what Li Xiuzhu said next made the two of them feel that it was not impossible.
