The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 639 Disaster Relief
Eunuch Lu specially booked a restaurant to provide convenience for selling officials.

"Hey, isn't this Master Lu?" The owner of the restaurant guided him, "Why do you have time to come to the villain?"

"Why, miscellaneous families are not welcome?"

The owner of the restaurant smiled and said, "What are you talking about? You can come, I wish for you. The private room has been prepared for you, please go upstairs."

Eunuch Lu said: "You don't need to spend so much money. The miscellaneous family came this time because they have important matters to tell you. This restaurant is reserved by the miscellaneous family. No guests are allowed within a month."

"But... how do you let the little one do business?"

Eunuch Lu threw out a silver note of 1 taels: "This is a restaurant where a miscellaneous family took care of you, and the imperial court asked for it. You don't seem to be giving face."

1 taels is a bit small, and the restaurant can pay more than this amount for a month, but it can't offend the emperor's personal eunuch.The boss smiled brightly: "Yes, just for your reputation as Master Lu, you will take care of this."

After contracting this restaurant, the people who come in every day are high-ranking officials and dignitaries. They don't have dozens of bank notes in their pockets, so they are embarrassed to come in.Many people didn't dare to buy an official at the first time, but just watched from the other side, wanting to know who was behind the scenes. Many times, Eunuch Lu revealed some information, but he still didn't say clearly that he was the current emperor.It is enough to say this.

Eunuch Lu is able to do things well, and in just ten days, he has already received more than 3000 million taels of silver. When those people buy officials, they have to buy big ones, and only big officials can save money.This is right in Li Tianxing's arms. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. He understands this truth, but he can't go too far.In the Qing Dynasty, wasn't He Shen the world's most corrupt official?The reason why Emperor Qianlong kept him was to find someone who was in charge of money.Therefore, Li Tianxing valued Eunuch Lu.

As long as it is related to money, let Eunuch Lu take care of it.In this world, if you have money, you will have power, and if you have power, you will have more money. A eunuch with little ability now has a higher status than the prince.There is no one inside and outside the court who is not afraid of him, but you can buy officials with money, which also meets the requirements of most wealthy businessmen and bureaucrats.

Eunuch Lu took the money and embezzled 50 taels privately, but Li Tianxing pretended not to see it. If you don't give this money to others, who can do things for you wholeheartedly.

"Your Majesty, this is all the money collected this month, a total of 5000 million taels."

Li Tianxing hummed: "What kind of people are buying officials?"

"There are people from all provinces, most of them are wealthy businessmen, and [-]% of them are serving officials."

Li Tianxing hummed: "Understood. The money will be handed over to the treasury, and I will take out 1000 million taels, and I will go to AH for disaster relief."

"The slave obeys the order."

Who doesn't like such a eunuch.Just do things and don't ask questions. If Wei Huaitai was here, he would chatter endlessly, and he would not let go unless he asked clearly.

Silver is a good thing, and no one does not love it. It is precisely because of this that Li Tianxing has to personally go to the disaster relief.These days, he looked at the account books of the Ministry of Officials. After many officials distributed the funds, the real amount was only about 200%.It cannot be said that some people are greedy, some people withhold money, from the imperial court to the province, a checkpoint consumes a lot of money, manpower and material resources, which can only be deducted from these money, such as travel expenses, and the food and drink of the escorts along the way, the Yamen Repairs, blah blah blah.This is a muddled account, so I might as well transport it by myself, and save even [-] million taels of silver in the end.

Xing Ranke grumbled: "Li Tianxing, you are the emperor, why do you still go to deliver the money yourself, it's really tiring."

Li Tianxing woke up a little bit from this statement. The common people couldn’t eat the money given away, and it was true that they had to exchange it directly for clothes, grain and grass, and materials for repairing river embankments.

Thinking about it this way, he ordered the Purple Winged Bat and Puppet to deal with clothes and food separately, and let him raise the stone materials for the embankment by himself.The nearest government is Lord Luo, the magistrate, an official who is not corrupt and clean, so it can be said that he has done nothing.

The yamen servant ran in desperately to report: "My lord! The emperor is here!"

Master Luo is still eating fish and drinking: "Why is the emperor here? You have lost your mind and lost your mind. Why did the emperor come to our place? Don't hinder me from drinking, get out."

The gate was pushed open, and a team of Ouchi guards entered and dispersed the battle.

Master Luo looked at the yellow mandarin jacket—he was stunned, and ran out quickly, and saw two strangers, Li Tianxing and Xingran, appearing: "Who are you? How dare you break into the lobby of our mansion!"

The guard said: "This is the current emperor, why don't you kneel down?!"

Lord Luo is a stupid and stupid official, he calls himself You Lan, and thinks that if he is not corrupt, he is a clean and good official, but in the years he has been in office, he has not done a single thing.He has only seen the former Daxing Emperor, and he knows that the emperor has changed again and again, but now he doesn't know who it will be, anyway, he just kneels down.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Li Tianxing walked straight to the court: "Prefect Luo, can you get stones here? There are also craftsmen, I want to take them to AH, the more people the better."

"I don't know what the emperor wants these people to do?"

"You meddle in my own business, what does the emperor want to do, and do I need to tell you?" Xing Ran asked.

Luo Zhifu hastily waved his hands: "No, no, no, I definitely don't mean that. This - I will go find someone and get materials right away. Your Majesty, please sit here."

The stones are almost raised, and the manpower is enough.Li Tianxing was mighty and mighty, and took more than 2 people to AH. The officials of AH knew that the emperor was coming, so they ran dozens of miles to pick him up, which really took a lot of time.

Li Tianxing couldn't see these people's commotion, but Xingran said that this is what officials would do, so don't be surprised.Along the way, I saw groups of people in rags, fleeing to other places, and some people had starved to death on the way, so there were a few porridge shops in the local area. The same will starve to death.

The first thing Li Tianxing wanted to do was to visit the governor's mansion, the house was resplendent and resplendent, the grandmas wore gold and silver, and they lived a wonderful life.Just such a person, he continued to write to the court to ask for money.

"Lord Governor, where is your warehouse? Can I go and have a look?" Li Tianxing asked.

The governor's eyes rolled: "Long live Qi, the minister's warehouse has no food left."

"Yeah, so what if I go and see?"

The Ouchi guards forcibly opened the warehouse, which was full of silver, box by box.

Li Tianxing chuckled: "With so much money, the governor is so rich."

The governor trembled with fear: "I... I must die! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I deserve death for my crimes!"

"You don't need to die forever, you die once is enough." Li Tianxing ordered: "Come here, get rid of Dingdai Hualing, governor of AH, and hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for discussion."

Xingran opened a box, and what he saw was gold, not silver: "Tian Xing, come quickly and take a look, the gold here, just this box, can hold 20 taels of silver. This black-hearted governor actually said he has no money."

Don't wait any longer, open a porridge market immediately, and issue a notice, saying that ten new porridge markets will be added, and one more people will starve to death, be careful!
