She only wants to do infrastructure construction

Chapter 4 The Mess of the Second Patriarch

Li Yewu spoke surprisingly, and walked to the back room after speaking.

Seeing her actions, everyone was stunned.

isn't it?
They are all like this, and the patriarchs of the four great families in Taihe City have all sat down in public to protest, should Shang Wangfu pay back the money if they want to save face?

Didn’t they just give back a batch of money to Ma Da’s family? Why did they run out of money, and even pretended to say that they are not princesses, have no responsibilities, and should go to rest. This is bullying them without a knife!
Just when everyone was filled with righteous indignation, the seemingly beautiful and gentle princess suddenly stopped and turned her head.

Everyone immediately ignited the fire of hope, here she is, she is really just pretending to be free and easy, but she is really terrified that they will do this!
After all, the king did not pay back his debts, and the news of the creditor's sit-in demonstration spread, where will the prince's face be put?
Just when everyone was secretly happy and waiting for the princess to pay back the money, Li Yewu spoke.

"There's no food in the house, remember to take care of it yourself when you're hungry."

"..." Everyone.

Li Yewu left without looking back after explaining, and the wealthy households were all dumbfounded.

"What... what should I do now?"

"This girl doesn't play cards according to the routine!"

"It seems that her clothes are indeed not as good as my maid Jingui, maybe there is something wrong with the rumors outside..."

In order not to fall into their entanglement, the old butler ran away silently when the merchants and wealthy households were muttering.

For a while, only the debt collectors were left in the living room of Shangwang Mansion, who stayed in the living room for a long time.

The old butler lamented as he went back to the backyard. He really shouldn't have too much hope for his master.

Although he didn't like to hear Martha's words, he had to say that it made sense.

Not a family, do not enter the door.

How could such an unreliable master find a virtuous princess...

After all, he was thinking too much. Seeing the little madam's appearance of shirking responsibility as if she had nothing to do with her, she knew that this person's skills in shaming were as good as the master's. From now on, life would be impossible!
The old butler went into the backyard in despair, intending to take out the last coffin book, so that he could help out a little bit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw the very chic little lady waving at him just now.

The old butler suddenly realized, it turned out that the little lady was not afraid of boiling water, but she just used a tactic to delay the attack and went to the backyard to find a way?
Thinking of this, the old butler couldn't help but burst into tears.

Is Shang Wang's Mansion finally welcoming a reliable master?
It's so moving!

"Xiao...how much money does King Shang owe?"

"Little madam comes with me."

The old butler said that he took Li Yewu to the study, and then found the column of Taihe City in many bibliographies, and pulled out a thick stack of IOUs.

"Little madam, before I say this, I hope you understand that our master has a great future and luck, no matter what..."

"Okay, you don't need to give me a shot in the arm. I know what kind of person he is, so report it quickly."

Xiao Jiuxi will die in a few years, what kind of luck can he have, these words can be used to deceive children.

Li Yewu just wanted to know how much he owed, and whether he could solve the trouble at once.

Seeing this, the old butler replied with a silent sigh.

"We owe 800 million taels of silver to the four major families in Taihe City."

"How much... how much?"

Li Yewu's dog eyes widened.

"Eight million taels..." The butler made a gesture of eight.

Li Yewu just felt confused, "How much is the price here?"

The old housekeeper looked confused: "What... what... the price?"

Li Yewu sighed: "I mean how much is the rice in Taihe City per catty, cough, you know, I lived in the imperial capital before and didn't know much about Taihe City.

Also, how much is the monthly salary of King Chang, and how much is the revenue of the property in the hands of King Chang, please tell the housekeeper truthfully.

Of course, the premise is that you really want to help Xiao... the prince settle his debts, please let me know. "

The old steward did not doubt that he immediately replied: "The price of rice in Taihe City this year is 500 Wen a catty, the master's salary is 3 taels of silver per month, and His Majesty will give the master an additional [-] taels of silver every quarter. As for the master's property , the current master...has no property, only deserted fields and hills that can't be seen in the distance."

"???"

Li Yewu was shocked by the word "no property". Are there still princes without property in this world?Are you kidding me?
The housekeeper felt a little guilty: "I used to have it, but it was exchanged for money by the master."

……

Li Yewu choked for a while: "This guy...why do you need so much money?"

"Relieve the disaster victims..." the housekeeper answered honestly.

"..." Li Yewu.

Those who didn't know thought that Xiao Jiuxi had rescued the disaster victims in the entire universe.

Li Yewu resisted the urge to crush Xiao Jiuxi to death, and quickly calculated his salary.

Xiao Jiuxi's monthly salary is 500 taels, plus an extra 3 taels of pocket money every quarter, which is equivalent to 18 taels given to Xiao Jiuxi by the emperor every year.

As for the 18.6 Wen a catty of rice in Taihe City, she doesn't know whether it is expensive or cheap, but even if it is 800 Wen a catty, Xiao Jiuxi earns [-] taels a year, which should be enough for him to spend. Sell ​​all properties, even owe [-] million?

And it was said that Taihe City is the most prosperous subsidiary state of the Great Chu Empire?The situation of bandits and slums everywhere is completely inconsistent with the description in the novel.

"Although Taihe is rich, after all, the turmoil has just been quelled. Most of the nobles here have been exiled, bandits have taken advantage of the opportunity, and the people have been displaced... The master has kindly set up charitable halls to accommodate homeless refugees, build houses and distribute relief funds And rations, never stopped.

Over time, when the master ran out of money, he borrowed it from the wealthy households in Taihe City, and the long-term debt became like this today..."

The housekeeper silently told the story of the prince's debts, and there was still the light of worshiping the saint in his eyes.

"..." Li Yewu.

At first glance, it sounds touching, but when you think about it carefully, there is something wrong.

Xiao Jiuxi actually wanted to use money to solve the troubles of troubled times?Have you thought about other measures?
The old housekeeper shook his head, "Master said, nothing that money can solve is not a problem..."

"..." Li Yewu.

Very good, it's really not a problem, he patted his ass and ran to the imperial capital to participate in the seizure of the heir, and didn't come back until he died in the battle. The debt eventually became a death debt without a head.

It's just that Li Yewu, the creditor and toolman of Taihe City, is pitiful.

In the novel, Li Yewu is not the main character, so the story of her going to the fief is naturally not described in detail, but judging from the current experience, I am afraid that Li Yewu's life will not be easy, and it will be even worse when Xiao Jiuxi dies.

It is estimated that Li Yewu himself did not expect that after saving a prince, he jumped from the mud pit of poverty to the abyss of poverty.

The debt of 800 million... How the hell are you going to pay it back.

Li Yewu really wanted to beat up the second generation ancestor. As a prince, he didn't learn some skills of governing the country and the world, so he was doing nothing.

Normal people know that using shantangs to help the common people can only be an emergency and not for a long time, otherwise it will be dragged down sooner or later!
