"You son of a." Xiao Boran stared at a pair of old eyes, so angry that he was almost speechless, he always felt that although his second son was not smart, he was honest, he never thought that his disdainful son would one day force himself like this.

How is it possible for him to pay off all his arrears in three days?

The Xiao family started to make a fortune from his generation, and the background is not deep, although there is a queen mother and a concubine in the family, but the rewards in the palace cannot be sold into money, but the queen mother spent a lot in the early years, and over the years, the silver money owed to the treasury has been millions, although the people below have filial piety every year, but he spends a lot of money, how can he take out millions of taels of silver?

But the second son didn't understand his hardships, and insisted that he take out all the arrears, thinking of this, Xiao Boran couldn't help but curse Ye Qiu secretly, even if King Qing came in person, he could also play tricks, but it was his son who couldn't make sense.

"Father, I know that you don't like me since I was a child, but what I am doing is the right thing that Your Majesty has confessed, are you so ruthless to watch me cornered?" Xiao Qi asked angrily.

"Your Majesty is asking you to coerce King Qing, why are you so desperate to pay off your debts first? Moreover, the family does not have so much money to come up with. Xiao Boran said impatiently.

"Father, you are the prime minister, if you don't repay the loan first, which minister dares to repay it first? If even you don't support your son's work, then what courtier will be able to look up to your son in the future? Or do you really not care about your son at all? Although Xiao Qi is not as smart as his eldest brother, he also has the advantages of an honest person, that is, he is not afraid of offending people and dares to face anything.

Anyway, his father has always looked down on him, he has long been used to it, since his father does not think about his future, then he can only rely on himself, anyway, the money to repay the debt is also in the public account, even if the family is separated in the future, he can't share much, why does he care so much,

"I said, there's not that much money." Xiao Boran found that he and his youngest son couldn't explain it, so he simply didn't say it.

Xiao Qi said indifferently: "Father, do you think your son doesn't know that he honors you so much money every year?" There is also the eldest brother, he has been the governor of Jiangxi for five years, I don't believe he didn't make oil and water. ”

"You're threatening me?" Xiao Boran stared at Xiao Qi with a pair of sharp eyes, and his hands trembled with anger.

Xiao Qi was frightened by Xiao Boran and took a step back, but soon he did a good job of building his heart, look, his father would only yell at him like this, if it was the eldest brother, his father would definitely be reluctant.

Xiao Qi looked at his father in disappointment, and said angrily: "Father, I don't care what you say, you and your eldest brother must repay this debt, otherwise you also know, I have never been smart, don't blame me for what you do when the time comes." After saying that, he slammed the door of the study and walked out in a bit of a desert.

In fact, Xiao Qi was not so bold to shake out the affairs of the Xiao family at all, and Xiao Boran and Xiao Fu had been hiding these things from him intentionally or unintentionally, and he knew less, but Xiao Boran was so angry today that he didn't find out that his heart was weak at all.

Although Xiao Qi's son is a little high-eyed and low-handed, he has always been pressed by him and is quite honest, but he didn't expect that one day he would force him as a father for an illusory opportunity for promotion.

Xiao Boran stayed in the study alone for an afternoon, and after staying for a long time, he gradually had more ideas about some things.

He is the prime minister, and he is the saint's grandfather, since the saint succeeded for more than a year, the saint trusted, the ministers sought after, he is inevitably a little self-controlled, the saint did not discuss the matter of the debt with him for the first time, but handed over to King Qing, who has a higher status and more seniority than him, does he have any thoughts about him?

Moreover, the saint also handed over the work of coercing and collecting debts to his youngest son, does it also mean that he will be the first to repay the debt? After all, he is the prime minister, and his attitude has affected the attitude of most of the people below.

Thinking like this, Xiao Boran instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and he immediately asked his eldest son to come back to discuss this matter, but he didn't know that Xiao Qi knew more and more about his partiality, and he was more determined to do this thing well for his future.

Three days later, Xiao Boran decided to return the arrears, but only half of them were repaid, first, if he repaid it all, then others would definitely guess the source of his money, he was just a prime minister, even if he still had a title, the annual salary was only three or four thousand taels of silver, where did the money come from to pay off the debt? Naturally, there is a suspicion of corruption, and now it is half of it, plus the ancestral property, the dowry of the deceased wife and the eldest son's salary, etc., it can be rounded up anyway.

In this case, if he pays them all back, won't all the ministers who are lower than him have to be replaced? In this way, others will definitely be dissatisfied with him, and the favors that have been dotted over the years will be completely ruined.

But even if he only repaid half of it, King Qing accepted it with a smile, and the prime minister paid off his debts, so the next work was much easier.

The key to debt collection depends on who the debt collector is and who is King Qing? The saint has to respectfully call him uncle and grandfather, he comes to the door in person, which one dares to close the door and not see him?

There are a few people who claim to be sick, after King Qing reported it, Ye Qiu just arranged those personal official duties to his own people, and those who pretended to be sick became empty shelves, and now, those people are in a hurry, and they are not sick, and they are more active in paying back the money than anyone else.

The mighty debt collection action only lasted a month and a half from beginning to end, and in this month and a half, the treasury collected tens of millions of taels of silver.

King Qing retired after success, he was a super prince, and he was no longer sealable, Ye Qiu rewarded him with a hot spring Zhuangzi, as for Xiao Qi, who played a key role, he moved from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites, although it was a flat move, but everyone knew that the Ministry of Household was a real shortage, and it was much better than the idle position of the Ministry of Rites.

On the day he received the holy decree, Xiao Qi was happy and anxious, and he became more and more determined to follow Ye Qiugan.

Xiao Boran didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy at this time, and tried every possible way to let his eldest son be the secretary of the household department, but he didn't think about it but became a cabinet bachelor who repaired books, and the youngest son, who he had always looked down on, was getting closer and closer to his goal.

He found that he was becoming more and more unable to understand the grandson of the saint, saying that he suppressed the Xiao family, the three fathers and sons of the Xiao family were all in high positions, but the eldest son was an idle position, saying that he took a fancy to the Xiao family, and he didn't discuss everything with him in detail as before, but before he could figure it out, Ye Qiu made another big move here, which completely put him in a dilemma.
