shock!Little Orphan, she made the perfume world cry

The first few were all very smooth, most of which were based on the amount of Xu Shangshu, and there was a difference of 500 taels for each level according to the level of official position.Every time the minister said a number, Eunuch Li would repeat it aloud. If the emperor had no objection, he would immediately record it.

But when we got to Wenyuan, Shangshu of Hubu, something unexpected happened.

This Wen Yuan is a very upright and honest person. Although he is the Minister of the Household Department, he has never done anything to enrich his own pockets. In addition, he himself is not as good at business as King Yan, so his family background is actually not rich. At this time It seemed very difficult.

According to his original expectation, paying 1000 taels would be enough, but with pearls and jade in front, it would be too shabby for him to pay 1000 taels, and it would be too disrespectful to the emperor. Bankruptcy.

So Wen Yuan gritted his teeth and reported 500 taels.

All the ministers looked at him in surprise, and the ministers who had not yet had their turn were even a little excited, expecting to use him as a target to report.But the emperor was not happy when he heard it. If Wen Yuan's 500 taels were accepted, then those low-level officials in the back might be even lower, and the 4 taels would not be fully raised.

"Two thousand and five hundred taels?" Mu Junyan said displeased, "Wen Aiqing seems to be very conservative!"

Wen Yuan fell to his knees with a plop: "Your Majesty, you know the salary of this minister, these ministers have been living on these salaries these years, and there are only two other shops, but the management is not very good, it is not as good as other colleagues us."

Mu Junyan didn't say anything.

Wen Yuan carefully raised his head slightly, only to see Mu Junyan's displeased face, and Mu Junze turned his head to look at him at this moment, nodded slightly, and gestured four fingers.

Wen Yuan understood, but he really couldn't pay that much, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Your Majesty, I just considered that I still have a family to support, and I roughly estimated 500 taels. For some non-essential expenses, about 3000 taels can be made up, but no amount of money can afford it!"

Mu Junyan didn't know whether Wen Yuan really had no money or was really stingy, and he couldn't figure out the sudden lowering of the standard for a while, so he didn't comment on whether the 4 taels could be made up.

Everyone in the court knew Wen Yuan's character well, and knew that he probably couldn't afford more. Seeing the emperor's reaction, they all secretly sweated for him.Just when the scene was freezing, Mu Junze stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that when I bought a farm in the suburbs last year, I borrowed 1000 taels from Wen Shangshu. It was agreed at that time to return it before the end of this year." Yes, just a few days ago, the bank reported that a sum of money was about to expire, and originally planned to return it to Wen Shangshu in a few days, I wonder if Wen Shangshu would like to use the 1000 taels to top it up, so as to solve the current urgent need?"

Wen Yuan was taken aback for a moment, seeing Mu Junze turning his head and giving him a wink, although he didn't quite understand what he meant, but he also knew that he probably wanted to help, so he replied along the way: "That's natural."

Mu Junyan also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Wen Shangshu is 4000 taels, Eunuch Li, let's continue!"

Although Wen Shangshu donated 500 taels less than Xu Shangshu, after all, there have been some twists and turns in the middle. In order to pass the customs smoothly, as long as they can get it, they will basically follow Xu Shangshu's standard.So in the end, all the officials in the hall will make up 4 taels.

Mu Junyan solved a big problem, and Longyan rejoiced, and happily retired from court.

All the ministers looked down in disgrace, when Wen Yuan was leaving, he glanced at Mu Junze, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, he went out first.

After everyone left, Mu Junze immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty. The 1000 taels that the Highness said just now was borrowed from the Shangshu, but it is nothing. Your Majesty, please punish."

Mu Junyan was taken aback: "King Yan, what do you mean?"

"Just now I read that Shangshu really can't afford more money, but I'm afraid that he will lower the standard and cause the ministers behind to report less, so that the 4 taels will not be enough. So, the younger brother came up with an idea temporarily, Put Wen Shangshu's 1000 taels first, so that the people behind can't lower their demands." Mu Junze spoke earnestly and explained the reason concisely.

"Hahaha! You..." Mu Junyan smiled and said, "Follow expediency, your method is good, I won't blame you! Go down."

Mu Junze took the order to get up, and Mu Junyan said again: "By the way, I am worried that there is no one to escort the silver taels. It just so happens that you have done a good job in raising funds this time, and you are familiar with Princess Beizhen, so I will send you to escort the princess. Go home!"

Mu Junze bowed his head to promise, the corners of his mouth slightly raised where the emperor couldn't see.

Wen Yuan waited at the gate of the palace for a while, then saw King Yan striding forward from the palace.He bowed forward, cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness King Yan, I'm Yulu, I don't know where the 1000 taels came from?"

Mu Junze looked at him and smiled lightly: "I heard that Shangshu is upright and upright. This king knows it. I just couldn't do it just now. I just helped you out. The 1000 two kings are here to solve it. You just need to be ready for what you say." 3000 taels will do.”

"This... this... I can't ask His Highness to pay me this money!" Wen Yuan probably guessed what King Yan meant, but he didn't want to owe King Yan a favor.

"Don't worry, I don't need this king to pay for the money." Mu Junze patted him on the shoulder in fear: "This king will not just watch Zhongliang in the court go bankrupt, and I have my own way of money. Don't worry, Shang Shu." After speaking, before Wen Yuan could respond, he went to his shoulders.

Wen Yuan didn't know what method His Royal Highness King Yan would use to make up the 1000 taels, but he accepted the favor.When Mu Junze got on the sedan chair, he took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice: "His Royal Highness Yan's grace, I will always remember it in my heart."

Mu Junze glanced at him from a distance, nodded slightly, and went to the palace.

In Yongning Courtyard, it was a lively scene.

Mu Junze heard bursts of laughter from a distance, his princess's laughter was the first to reach his ears, the sound was sweet, like a string of silver bells, tickling people's hearts.

Mu Junze slightly quickened his pace and walked in. For the first time, he didn't go directly to Zhaoyang Pavilion, but went to Ningxiang Tower instead.A few days ago, he heard Madam Sun report that the princess had given Xiaolou a name, which suited her taste very well, so he ordered someone to make a plaque, and it would be delivered in a few days.

From a distance, Mu Junze saw that the outside of Ningxiang Tower seemed to have changed.A few servants were filling the saplings into the dug hole, Luo Wushuang was talking to Nanny Sun, laughing badly.

Mu Junze walked over slowly, for some reason, when he thought about his seriousness, looking at this picture, he couldn't bear to disturb him.

"Your Highness!" Lele was the first to notice Mu Junze standing here, and hurriedly saluted.

Mu Junze frowned, with some displeasure on his face.

Nanny Sun and Luo Wushuang also hurriedly looked back, and Mu Junze saw the mud spots on Luo Wushuang's face at a glance, splashed on her small white porcelain jade face, which was particularly eye-catching.
