Chapter 549: Brothers Want Debt [Monthly Ticket + 36 Updates]
The minister of the Ministry of Works said with a bitter face, "I am honest and honest, and I have no money in my pocket, so I can't handle the errands of Prince Dun. If everyone is like Prince Dun, you will finish the job and leave, but the person who takes over for you will not be able to do it."
How can we live? Next year or the year after, if there is still some shortage of food, will you have to come back to take care of it?"
Everyone else nodded slightly.
The fourth master added coldly: "Your Excellency, the Minister of Finance, borrowed thirteen thousand taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now you don't need to dig out your pocket, as long as you pay back the money from the treasury, that's enough."
The Minister of Works said: "I don't owe it to you alone, everyone owes it."
The fourth master said: "The household department owes more than ten million taels of silver. With this money, a small snow disaster is nothing to worry about!"
Kangxi's eyebrows jumped!
Brother Jiu said: "This snow disaster is not a matter solely belonging to the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Industry and the Military should also be responsible."
The fourth master's eyebrows jumped, and it could be seen that he and his wife, the emperor, were really two brothers. The frequency and rhythm of the beats were the same.
The eighth elder brother stepped forward and said, "I think what the ninth elder brother said is very reasonable."
Mingzhu smiled at this time, and a group of people came forward, "I second my opinion."
In the end, Kangxi made the decision and the three ministries assisted in the matter.
Prince Zhi presided over it, and the eighth, ninth, and tenth masters followed to co-organize it. The fourth master, who was originally in charge of this matter, was thrown aside.
You must know that Fourth Master has put in a lot of effort and has completed more than half of this task. He is just waiting to reap the fruits of victory. Now... he has been abandoned.
His eyes were calm and there was no indication of his mood, but he did not even look at Ninth Brother.
Emperor Kangxi seemed to have a clear mind, but he also felt that those who can do more work.
As for the fourth master, he has other tasks. Should the debts owed by the household department be paid?
Old Shi was covered in white hair and sweat.
You said that Brother Bage and Ninth Brother you are too unkind.
I have asked Fourth Brother to work hard for so long, and you come to pick peaches to eat. Is this ridiculous?
Moreover, he even tricked Fourth Master into collecting debts.
This debtor is no ordinary person. The Fourth Master is going to offend half of the old and young men in Beijing to death.
He is a discerning person, but he is also a very loyal and upright person: "Huang Ama, my son and I are not good at math. With them here, we will definitely be able to handle these disaster relief things better than my son."
I'd better follow my fourth brother to collect debts. If nothing else, I don't accept others' ability to collect debts."
Emperor Kangxi almost laughed in anger.
Who are you? Do you want to pay debts?
His ability to pay debts is unconvincing to others!
Just don't make others cry in the end and you have to pay out of your own pocket.
However, your son’s desire for progress cannot be suppressed. If he wants to jump into the pit, then you can jump!
Emperor Kangxi readily agreed.
Everyone else wanted to avoid collecting debts, but fortunately, Master Shi took the initiative to jump in.
For a moment, the mood of the Crown Prince and Prince Zhi was very delicate.
With such an honest and loyal brother, I can sleep a little longer with my eyes closed.
The fourth master was not angry: "Who asked you to follow me? Others are walking upstream, but you insist on jumping into the river with me."
"It's such a big deal, isn't it just asking for debt? We are the masters and they are the slaves. Why is it so difficult to ask the slaves for debt!" Lao Shi really didn't care about this.
The Fourth Master was moved at first, but now he laughed angrily: "Okay! Let's do the errands after the Chinese New Year. If I want to pay the debt, I'll pay you the money to open the house first. Otherwise, if you want to move out, it will take another year!"
When Master Shi heard this, he was happy, and all the dark clouds in the sky disappeared: "That's great!"
Our phoenix dreams of leaving the palace.
