Lord Moyu was forced to open

After a while, Cui Wen, the Minister of Household Affairs, who was holding a wooden stick, rushed out angrily, shouting as he came out.

"What are you doing! Didn't the military salary provide you with more than half of it some time ago? Are you still here?

Does the court no longer need to operate? People don’t need relief anymore?

You know that you need wages every day, but haven’t I given you any salary or rations?

I told you that the court is short of money now, so we will give you food first. I always give you food according to the quantity, and you still come to ask for it!

I don't care about my salary, but I care about my life. See if you can cut off these dozens of kilograms of my flesh and see if you can get some money in exchange! "

While cursing angrily, Cui Wen rushed out. As soon as he came out and saw the familiar yet unfamiliar faces of dozens of tall and round men, he was stunned for a moment.

Li Xiaowu scratched his head and saluted Cui Shangshu with a smile:

"Master Shangshu, we are back!"

With a bang, the wooden stick in Cui Wen's hand fell to the ground, and he quickly rubbed his eyes with his hands, that's right! This voice and this face definitely belong to the right servant he sent out.

But this figure~

Damn it, I obviously sent out a group of scholars, why did you come back with a group of Qiuba? !

I am old? Are your eyes not working well?

I rubbed it vigorously, but it was still exactly the same, not the way I remembered it.

Cui Wen was dumbfounded.

He turned around to mind his own business and walked into the Hubu Yamen. As he walked, he muttered in a low voice:

"It's bad. I can't stay up late to approve paperwork anymore. Now I'm hallucinating. If this continues, I will have to go back to take care of myself. Alas...

This old man from the Zhao family has really had enough of serving him. After serving the old man and the young man, the young man is too lazy to do any work day by day and has been left behind, which makes the old man miserable.

Damn it, yesterday’s resignation letter was not followed up again, and the appointment was burned again. If you don’t agree, you don’t know how to return it. Let me burn the fire for you. This can save some coal. It’s a waste... a waste... "

While muttering to Cui Wen, he lowered his head and walked into the Hubu Yamen.

When the officials nearby heard his muttering, they immediately lowered their heads and pretended not to hear. They kept complaining in their hearts, old man, don't say anything to others!

You are too old to be promoted. You are still an old minister. If you have something to say, just say it. The superiors will not care about you. But we cannot say or listen to this. Aren't you harming us?

Li Xiaowu, who was waiting for his minister to ask questions, froze when he saw his minister turning around and walking away. After a while, he saw that Cui Shangshu was almost out of sight, and then he suddenly reacted and quickly took three steps and two steps at a time. Caught up with Cui Shangshu.

"Master Shangshu! Master Shangshu! Didn't you see the hallucination? It's really us! It's really us!"

Li Xiaowu grabbed Cui Shangshu, but he forgot how strong he was now. Cui Shangshu, who was walking forward with his head lowered, was almost pulled to the ground by him.

But even if he didn't fall to the ground, he was still staggering. If Li Xiaowu hadn't reacted in time and quickly stopped him with his hands, Cui Shangshu might have been able to take sick leave and go back to rest today.

"I'm going to die! If you want to kill me so that you can take over earlier, just say so!"

This pull also brought Cui Wen back to his senses and confirmed that he was not dreaming, but that the scholars he sent out had really turned into a group of people like Qiu Ba.

After rubbing his waist, Cui Wen turned around and glared at Li Xiaowu angrily, and then asked:

"What's going on here? How did it happen like this? It's simply an insult to politeness!"

Feeling the scrutinizing gaze of his own minister, Li Xiaowu said helplessly: "Sir, you don't know how rich those monks are. If you just go into a warehouse, there will be lots of money everywhere.

You also know that we are used to being poor. We cannot control our money when we see it, and we are also afraid of others stealing it. After all, this is the money of our household department. In order to prevent it from being stolen by others, every ingot of silver belongs to our colleagues. Brought back together by hand.

There was a lot of money, so I developed this skill just by moving it. "

Li Xiaowu considered it carefully and did not dare to tell the truth. He was afraid that his minister would not be able to accept it.

Their physical strength can't be acquired by moving money, and they can also train by rushing through the temple door with a wooden stick, fighting with the monks after entering, interrogating the storehouse, etc.

It's just that after all, people like me are also officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Doing such a thing is somewhat demeaning, so I am embarrassed to say it out loud. However, he didn't know that Zhao Jun had already told Cui Wen about the good deeds they had done. When he heard his evasive answer here, Cui Wen responded on the face and sneered in his heart, but did not expose it.

Their behavior is really embarrassing for a scholar!

While being supported towards Li Xiaowu and his team, Cui Wen asked casually:

"How much money did you collect in total this time?"

Li Xiaowu also replied casually:

"Not too much, not too much, just over thirteen million taels of silver, some jewelry that I can't afford to lose due to lack of manpower, calligraphy and painting antiques that are difficult to estimate, and so on."

Cui Wen nodded subconsciously: "Oh, so it's only more than 13 million... ten thousand?!"

Cui Wen suddenly realized if there was something wrong with this number, and subconsciously asked again.

Li Xiaowu didn't realize that something was wrong with his minister, so he nodded sincerely and said:

“That’s right, it’s Wan.

Not much. "

The next moment, Cui Shangshu immediately stared at the dozens of large boxes with his eyes wide open, his eyes lit up, and he murmured:

"More than thirteen million taels! Sui Liu... I've made a lot of money. Now I, the Ministry of Finance, have made a lot of money!"

Damn, I finally have a balance this year! "

Cui Shangshu almost burst into tears. Since he became Shangshu, the Ministry of Household Affairs has suffered losses and deficits every year. God knows how much pressure he has been under!

This year I can finally see some money left over!

All of a sudden, my waist no longer hurts and my legs are no longer sore.

Cui Laoshangshu threw away Li Xiaowu who was supporting him and rushed towards the convoy!

Just open one!

Hey!

It's all silver!

Open another one!

Hey!

It's all gold!

Open another one!

Hey!

All kinds of jewelry!

Open another one!

Oops! Still gold!

……

Mr. Cui's breathing becomes heavier when he opens a box.

A pair of eyes narrowed in laughter.

All the household officials, Li Xiaowu, looked at him with smiles, because they looked like this when they first saw him.

Others who were far away and couldn't see clearly looked at their ministers smiling like this with confused expressions on their faces.

Finally, after opening more than a dozen boxes in a row, Cui Shangshu was satisfied!

Take a long breath and raise your hands!

"Let's go! Send them all to the warehouse of the Household Department quickly, and register them all honestly!

I can tell you not to have any evil thoughts. Since His Majesty allows us to bring us back and enter directly, there must be a basis for it. You can see it in just a moment.

If something happens to you because of your greed, don't blame me for not warning you. "

"Now! All bring money to me!"
