Chapter 853

Static Hou is not willing, "that summer family is also just a small rich family, where can take out 100000 Liang silver."

"Then you'll be punished by the emperor."

Words fall, quiet Hou madam turned to walk out, leave quiet Hou a person like dead pig general paralysis on the chair.

Three days later.

The Minister of the Ministry of household came to the prince of war's residence with people to collect money.

After getting the report, Xia Xi orders to take the people to the reception hall.

Hubu Shangshu led people into the house, the rest stayed outside, only with the new clerk into the reception hall, saluted Xia Xi, "I've seen Princess Zhan."

Xia Xi sat in the upper seat, with two boxes on the table beside her. She nodded slightly to the Secretary of the Ministry of household and stretched out her hand, "please sit down."

Hubu Shangshu hesitated for a moment, or sat down, "I don't know what the princess has to say?"

They are all smart people. Xia Xi doesn't beat around the Bush any more. She points to a box close to her and says, "there are 800000 Liang in it. I've already prepared it for you."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

"It's my job."

Xia Xi pointed to another box and said, "there are 1.2 million taels in it. If the Lord Shangshu can promise me a condition, I will donate all of them."

Hubu Shangshu subconsciously straightened his back and couldn't help looking at the box.

1.2 million taels. We can buy a lot of military supplies. Attitude also respectful a lot, "war Princess please say."

"This time, all the money is at the disposal of the Minister of the household department. He should also have a look at the things he bought and send them to the border in person."

"This..."

The Secretary of the Ministry of household does not dare to respond. Everyone knows that purchasing military supplies is a big fat job and can make a lot of money out of it. If Lian Li is given the full power, one is that the Secretary of the Ministry of household has a bad face, and the other is that everyone's money is less, so there will be complaints.

"Don't worry, Lord Shangshu. He is only responsible for purchasing, and you need to check the rest."

The Secretary of the Ministry of household thought, "Princess Zhan, let him be a little Chamberlain. It's against the rules."

Finish saying, anxiously waiting for Xia Xi to speak.

Xia Xi didn't embarrass him. She handed him the box with 800000 taels of silver notes. "Well, count it."

Hubu Shangshu looked at the remaining box, took it and handed it to the clerk on one side. The clerk counted it well. Hubu Shangshu got up and said goodbye, "I have to go to the back of the house to collect it. It won't delay the princess Zhan."

Xia Xi also stood up, "just in time, I also want to go into the palace, I see you off."

Hubu Shangshu couldn't step out, and there was a thin sweat on his forehead, "Princess Zhan, this is..."

"I'll go to see the emperor to see if I can buy 1.2 million taels of military supplies and send them to the border."

What she said was not slow or urgent, but the Secretary of the Ministry of household heard the threat. Xia Xi went into the palace. If he told the emperor the whole story, the emperor would be furious, and his position as the Secretary of the Ministry of household would not be done.

He opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He closed it, opened it again and again. After several times, he braved the sweat and said, "Princess Zhan, I think even the Chamberlain has a good ability and should be able to resist one side."

Xia Xi reveals surprise, "what does Shangshu adult mean?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of household said, "I will seriously consider your proposal just now. At most in the evening, I will give you a reply. Look at this palace?"

"I'm not going yet."

Hubu Shangshu heart back, out of the door, on the carriage, just took out the PAZI wipe out the cold sweat, thinking about this matter how to reply to Xia Xi better, has been thinking about to the quiet Hou house, also did not come up with an idea.

Today, Jinghou mansion is different from the past. The gate is closed and the front door is quiet.

Hubu Shangshu got out of the carriage, looked at the closed door, frowned, a little displeased, and told his men, "go knock on the door, and say we'll collect money."

He went to knock on the door. The copper ring knocked on the door. After a while, there was a movement inside the door. A little guy opened a crack in the door. He was startled to see the situation outside. He came out of the door quickly, "what are you doing?"

His subordinates replied, "from the Ministry of accounts, I have come to collect money according to the emperor's orders."

The young man went on crying, "you don't know. The night before last, our Marquis Jing suddenly got an emergency and called all the doctors. I just took the medicine and fell asleep. Can you come back two days later and let us have a good rest?"

My subordinates look at the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts. He doesn't look good. He's not sick in the morning and he's not sick in the evening. But he's sick at this time. He doesn't want money!

Do you want a small sum of money? Shua's whereabouts get off the curtain, "go, go to the next one."

A group of people away, the boy closed the door, ran to report.

Jinghou leaned on the chair, heard it, waved his hand, and the boy retreated.

Quiet Hou madam voice is very cool, "hide to lead the first day of junior high school, hide but 15, two days later still have to hand in, why?"

Jinghou is tired of money these three days. She is so sarcastic that she gets angry and stands up. "I want to pay now, but what about money? Where can I get the silver? "

He was angry. Mrs. Jinghou was happy and sat steadily, "what are you yelling at me? When you sprinkled silver out, it was so pleasant, but I couldn't stop it. "

"You..."

I choke when I'm still.

He has already sent people to Liangzhou to send a message to Peiru, saying that he is short of 100000 taels of silver, and now he has no news. He can't go into the palace to ask for it for his daughter, can he?

Jinghou's wife looked at his shriveled face and was in a strange mood.

She has more than 100000 liang of silver in her hand. She just doesn't take it out. She wants to see if Jinghou wants to give it to his sister?

The rest of the families were easy to collect. They had already prepared the silver. They went to the office and ordered people to count it. Then they packed it. They collected more than ten houses in the morning. At noon, they went back to the office. They didn't have any food, so they went to the study.

The lady of the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts thought that he was affected when he was collecting money, so she called the entourage to ask him. The entourage said no, but the lady of the secretary was even more puzzled. She didn't feel angry. How could she come back and go to the study directly? Is it hard to be tired? Then he shook his head. It was impossible to be tired. Tired, he should go to the house to have a rest instead of going to the study. He was just about to ask. The Secretary of the Ministry of household came out of the study and put on his official uniform. "I'll go to the Palace."

This matter is big and small. The emperor will soon know it. He might as well report it first. Maybe he will be praised by the emperor.

Sure enough, the emperor's face was not pretty when he went. When he said that Xia Xi would donate another 1.2 million Liang, the emperor's face cleared up.

"Does Princess Zhan really want to donate?"

"Yes, but she made a condition."

"He said

"She wants lien Li to be in full charge of the purchase of military supplies."

Fearing that the emperor would not remember, he reminded him, "Lian Li is the son of Lian Cheng, the old editor of Hanlin Academy who returned home."
