Chapter 268: The Poor Household Secretary

The court meeting ends.

All officials are resigned.

Lei Zhongxuan, the Minister of Revenue, followed Shui Zheng to the Imperial Garden.

"Your Majesty, when will the money you promised me be paid? I can afford it, but the people of Yilan Mansion, Mishan Mansion, and Anqing Mansion cannot wait. They are now affected by disasters. Without silver to provide relief, they will soon become refugees, mobs, bandits, and thieves!

Your Majesty, I am so anxious!"

"Hahaha, please don't worry, my money tree has been planted for you. I believe someone will come to relieve my worries in the past two days."

"Oh? Money Tree?"

Lei Zhongxuan, the Minister of Revenue, looked moved: "If Your Majesty refers to the boy from Rongguo Mansion, the money may not be enough yet."

"This... I have no choice. You are in charge of the world's money and food. Even my inner treasury must be clear about how much of my money and food is with your talent! The military pay of the border army was just sent away a month ago, and Xisai He Shouren threatened the Kou to ask for money again!

All civil and military officials were running, and the yamen office required money everywhere. The tax revenue of salt and iron in Jiangnan was deteriorated, and even I could not collect it fully.

The rest...you think of another way."

"Your Majesty, I am now in my family's family, and my salary has been paid in advance for the next year. All those who can fulfill their loyalty to the country have been fully repaid.

Your Majesty, now I rely on the help of my wife’s family to help me, and I have no more of them!"

Shui Zheng was a little helpless. Lei Zhongxuan was very old, but every time he asked for money, he was like a child, and he used all the tricks of cheating.

In order to be justified, I sold my mansion in Huaishu Lane last year, which was the yard of Mei Mansion.

And as this Shangshu said, all the silver obtained was confiscated!

This is not to say how selfless this Shangshu was. On the contrary, his wife used his relationship to spend a lot of money, but she was mostly in a gray area. In order to avoid people's eyes, he simply confiscated all his own property, turned a blind eye to the outside world, and devoted himself to working hard for the Great Zhou Dynasty!

Not to mention, in this way, those censors who have heard the news really have no choice but to do anything to him.

Lei Zhongxuan's wife is also smart and does not do it by herself. Instead, it affects her brothers in her family. She takes out the right money and does the right thing at the right time. In this way, she will have a lot of money.

In name, her wife is also the one who is helped by her parents!

Who can do anything to the couple?

They are all good people who are dedicated to the public!

Shui Zheng smiled and said, "I know that my dear is loyal. The reason why this money tree is called a money tree is because it cannot be taken out. At that time, my dear will just go and get it!"

Lei Zhongxuan said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, tell me the truth, is Liu Anxi's son really such a master of making money?"

"Why don't you go home and ask your inner person? She is such a master! The time is over, please step back!"

Of course, Shui Zheng would communicate directly with the direct beneficiary Lei Zhongxuan when he was planning to do something like Liu Xianglian.

Even the details of the Liu Xianglian Weaving Conference are sold, bought, spent, and wasted. There are also sets of books and books for Tanchun records, and books for books and desks.

"Okay, Your Majesty, let me give it a try! I will give up!"

Liu Xianglian waited outside the palace for a long time. If she hadn't asked the small vendor selling breakfast not far away and was sure that the Minister of Revenue Lei had not come out yet, he would have thought he had arrived late!

"Mr. Lei is the one with the redtest face!"

"Lei Renren, he is not tall, like a top!"

"Mr. Lei, he has no airs. Sometimes he will buy some breakfast at the door! What, do you think he is not afraid of others stealing him and taking revenge on him? Who doesn't know that our Minister of Revenue in the Great Zhou Dynasty is a pauper who is devoted to the people?

Who would be unable to get along with him?”

The news Liu Xianglian heard was strange. In short, the Minister of Revenue has a good evaluation and his personal physiological characteristics are extremely obvious.

"Young master, here, here! That one

It’s Lord Lei, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!”

A hawker saw Lei Zhongxuan coming out leisurely with his horoscope smoking and leisurely, and quickly pointed to Liu Xianglian at a little old man who came out of the palace.

When Liu Xianglian saw that this person had a short figure, but he didn't look bloated, but he was a little handsome, just a red garlic nose that was particularly eye-catching!

Is this the Minister of Revenue?

Liu Xianglian sighed and said, thanks to the great Zhou Dynasty's inability to judge its talents, otherwise, this adult would definitely not be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!

Liu Xianglian quickly walked to the old man and had not spoken yet.

Lei Zhongxuan asked first: "You are the money tree you found for me?"

"Oh!"

The emperor is really not polite.

Liu Xianglian complained secretly, but still smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Yes, sir, please speak quickly, and you should know where I came from?"

"Know!"

Lei Zhongxuan held Liu Xianglian's hand and prevented Liu Xianglian from breaking free. He hurriedly called a coachman waiting for the guests next to him to come!

"Heroic young man, I know everything Mr. Liu wants. Let's go to my wife's mansion first! Come here and take me and this young master to my mansion!"

The handlebar drove the beast who was not sure whether it was a mule or a horse and arrived in front of Liu Xianglian and Lei Zhongxuan, and respectfully invited the two of them. He also smiled and said, "Today, Lord Shangshu is willing to enjoy the villain's business. Last time I still remember it was the time when Lord Shangshu held a Lu Ming Banquet, Lord Shangshu and Mrs. Zun were together!"

"Haha, boy, do you know why you are old and still have a handlebar?"

"Why?"

"Because you're blind!"

Lei Zhongxuan said politely: "I am a pauper. Who doesn't know about this in the capital? Who doesn't know about it? Can I pay the bill? The young man next to me has a business genius who turns stones into gold. Of course, he will pay the fare! Yes, brother!"

Liu Xianglian was amazed by Lei Shangshu's behavior so down-to-earth and stingy!

The mind is so big that ordinary literati can compare!

"What Lord Shangshu said is very true, you should remember the handlebar style! From now on, you can ask me to settle all the accounts of Lord Shangshu! This is a hundred taels of silver bills, you can collect them. In the future, if Lord Shangshu uses you, you will take him for a long time. This money is a deposit!

Don’t worry about not having enough money. As long as Lord Shangshu is willing to reward you, I will send someone to renew the contract every year!"

The handlebar smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Lei Zhongxuan's eyes also lit up. Liu Xianglian was a little interesting. He now believed that Liu Xianglian was someone who could turn stones into gold!

One hundred taels of silver, no more than more, and no less than the young master.

But compared to the goal achieved, this hundred taels is worth it.

"Young man, it's interesting! Let's go!"

The wheels of the carriage were squeaking and slowly turning, Lei Zhongxuan closed his eyes and muttered something in his mouth.

"Sir, what classics are you reciting silently? I wonder if I am interested in reading them!"

"I haven't read the classics silently. I'm calculating how many victims have reported, how much food, how much silver you need, and how much you!... can give me!"

Liu Xianglian said dumbfoundedly: "Sir, one person has the power to be poor, and the power in the world is endless. If you have the power to be poor, you will be a drop in the bucket! Do you want the next person to do such a useless thing?"

"If you benefit the country, life and death, how can you avoid misfortune and good fortune? I sold all my family business for the Great Zhou Dynasty and spent three years on my salary. Now I can only rely on women to do my part to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you have talent, how can you not help me?"

A clang!

The carriage slammed suddenly and shouted in the handlebars: "Sir Shangshu, you are here!"

"Boy, get off the car! This is at my wife's house!"

Liu Xianglian followed Lei Zhongxuan from the car and saw a super luxurious mansion. The two huge stone lions on the gate of the mansion were even bigger and more powerful than the two Rongguo Mansions.

wind!

The plaque in the middle is engraved with two powerful golden characters: Lei Mansion!

The handlebar drives away.

Lei Zhongxuan saw Liu Xianglian looking at the plaque in a daze, and smiled and said, "What's so strange about Lei Mansion? My wife's wife's surname is Lei, isn't it okay?"

Liu Xianglian smiled dryly and said, "Sir, I'm worried too much. I just think these two words are very knowledgeable. I don't know which famous master is the one who came from!"

Lei Zhongxuan said funnyly: "Boy, these are useless to me. You have to talk to me about money! Let's go and take a seat with me in my study!"

Along the way, Liu Xianglian followed Lei Zhongxuan and almost lost in the huge and luxurious Lei Mansion. He arrived at the huge and exaggerated study. Liu Xianglian was amazed: "Mr. Lei, I finally know why you are said to be well-educated!

As long as I can learn one-tenth of the books collected by Lord Lei, I can learn more about five cars!”

"Hahaha, that's all the old lady who has made contributions. This is all for her family to buy for decades! Sitting!"

The two sat opposite each other!

Lei Zhongxuan gave Liu Xianglian a cup of clear water, and he also made a cup of it, and then began to say, "Liu Xianglian, how much is it to save that woman from the imperial edict in Jie Xinjie's hand? "

Liu Xianglian said solemnly: "I wish to give all of it!"

"Hahahaha, you kid, don't give me a sloppy look! I have time, but those victims don't have time! Let's get straight to the point. I know the agreement between you and Prince Beijing, the owner of Xinghua Tower, and the women in Rongguo Mansion spend the silver interest!

How many of these belong to you?”

"The Golden Dragon Guard is really amazing!"

Liu Xianglian sighed, "Mr. Lei also knows that without the escort of Prince Beijing and the owner of Xinghua Tower, this turban conference would not be able to be held at all, so they would not be able to save money! Otherwise, in the future, I would not have the ability to turn stones into gold."

"That's the reason. I don't want to hear such messy things now. I want money!"

"How much do you want by adults? See if you can satisfy me."

"Two million taels! At least two million taels! There are nearly one hundred thousand victims in Yilan Mansion, Mishan Mansion, and Anqing Mansion, and at least two million taels are needed to reorganize the reproduction of the victims and survive the cold winter of the blue and yellow!"
