"Minister...... The minister is incompetent, the emperor forgives the sin! ”
At this time, it was no one else who was in front of Wu Tianhong, it was Yang Jing, the head of the household who had a tight "life".
Originally, he mentioned this matter in front of Wu Tianhong, just to show Wu Tianhong that the people of their Great Zhou Dynasty are now very rich, otherwise, how could a small dim sum shop gather such a large fortune in such a short period of time? And this qiē is naturally attributed to Wu Tianhong, the Son of Heaven, because if he hadn't governed the country well, there would naturally be no such prosperity in this world!
However, Yang Jing originally mentioned this matter, and the purpose was just to pat Wu Tianhong's ass. But I didn't expect that one was not good at it, and I almost missed the horse's leg.
Because, after Wu Tianhong heard his words, not only did he not notice that this matter had anything to do with his "great achievements", but he recalled the extremely difficult things that Yang Jing encountered when he raised military salaries on behalf of the imperial court.
Therefore, as soon as he thought of this, Yang Jing immediately knelt down in great panic and pleaded guilty to Wu Tianhong.
"Uh, Aiqing, please get up! I don't blame you! I'm just curious......"
Seeing Yang Jing kneeling, Emperor Wu Tianhong was also quite helpless.
The reason why he said this sentence was that he really didn't mean to blame Yang Jing.
The reason is actually very simple, because as the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he has been in power for decades, and in these decades, he has appointed more than a dozen Hubu Shangshu. In fact, every term of the household department will basically encounter the same problem, that is, it is too difficult to raise military salaries, and the treasury is often empty.
For this matter, he more than once directly dismissed his newly appointed head of the household department and investigated it. But even then, no solution to the problem was found.
But he didn't expect that today, he heard about a small dim sum shop, and as a result, in just a few days, he had amassed tens of thousands of taels, which was almost equivalent to more than a quarter of the treasury income of their Great Zhou Dynasty. And the group of household officials under him, if there is also one person who has such means. So why should he always worry about the emptiness of the treasury? Even sometimes when the war in the north is in full swing, the military salary and rations are not out, isn't that a big joke?
"Emperor Xie!"
Hearing Wu Tianhong say that he was not to blame himself, Yang Jing dared to get up from the ground.
That moment just now, it really scared him enough! That's right, he really doesn't want to be this household secretary in his heart. But there is no way, this is designated by the emperor himself, if you don't want to be it, you have to be it. And if you become a person, you have to be in your position and seek your own government, otherwise. That would be a loss of office, or even a beheading.
It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened before, and he, since he took office, can be regarded as conscientious, and he has never dared to relax, but he didn't expect that now compared with others, he has become quite incompetent.
This is really a great wrong, so when he heard the emperor's question just now, he felt both afraid and aggrieved. What I'm afraid of is that the emperor really wants to blame him, then he really has a small life, and the grievance is that he really did his best to prepare for the military salary. But now it may not be clear at all, so he naturally feels aggrieved in his heart.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long, because since Wu Tianhong said that he didn't want to blame him, he naturally understood his distress. However, under such circumstances, he couldn't wait to ignore Wu Tianhong's words, so he could see that he quickly saluted again and said, "Emperor...... Your Majesty, the minister has just heard about this matter, and he doesn't know what is going on. It's better for the old minister to go back and find out a qiē, and then report to the emperor! ”
"That's it, that's fine!"
Wu Tianhong finally agreed.
Being able to get Wu Tianhong's consent, Yang Jing was naturally relieved at that time.
However, after leaving the palace, he didn't dare to slack off at all, so he immediately went back to find out the relevant information of this "Qin's Dessert House".
In fact, although he had heard the name of this so-called dim sum shop a few days ago, he had never taken it to heart, and waited until the rumors came out, and this dim sum shop had collected tens of thousands of taels in just a few days, so he really paid attention to it, but before he could thoroughly find out the relevant situation, he couldn't wait to report it to Wu Tianhong, so this led to the misunderstanding just now.
Fortunately, this misunderstanding did not lead to any serious consequences, but now that the emperor naturally already knows, then he must naturally do his best to find out the situation, and he does not even dare to slack off in the slightest, otherwise, who knows if the emperor will be angry with him?
"Your Excellency, are you back?"
Back in his Shangshu Mansion, Yang Jing met his butler Yang An. Speaking of this Yang An, it was the old butler who came forward to trade with Qin Butcher's father and son on behalf of Yang Ying earlier. However, at this time, he had already returned to the Yang Mansion to be his big butler, and because of the beautiful errands, he was now the "big celebrity" in front of Yang Jing, so when he saw Yang Jing returning to the mansion at this time, he naturally greeted him in person and said.
"Hmmm! By the way, you immediately go to the tent and get a hundred taels of silver, and the official is going out for tea today! ”
Yang Jing returned to his mansion, he had no time to pay attention to Yang An, he went directly back to his study and changed into a set of casual clothes, and then said to Yang An.
"Huh? Going out for tea? And a hundred taels of silver? Big...... My lord, don't you want to go to the 'Qin's Dessert House'? ”
What Yang Jing didn't expect was that as soon as his words came out, Yang An seemed to know what he meant, so he quickly said it to him.
"Oh? Do you also know the 'Qin's Dessert House'? Okay, very good, in that case, you can go with the officer......"
Yang Jing glanced at Yang An and said with some surprise. Originally, he didn't plan to take Yang An out, but wanted to go alone, so that he could see the real situation, but he didn't expect that Yang An took the initiative to mention it, so he changed his mind.
