Yao Qinian put the accounts in front of Xiao Qin with a handful of snot and tears, crying that he had almost emptied the family wealth accumulated by the Yao family for a hundred years these days.

It's not that he doesn't do his best, it's that he is really powerless.

Xiao Qin didn't care at first, but after picking up the ledger and looking through it carefully, he was really taken aback.

When he looked at Yao Qinian again, his eyes became a little embarrassed.

It just feels like this to Yao Qinian, isn't it a bit too much.

But as the old saying goes, kindness does not lead soldiers, and people do not accumulate wealth, and he really did not force Yao Qinian to sign the military order at the beginning.

At first, he thought very simply, as long as Yao Qinian didn't add to the chaos, it was he who saw that there was a lot to be done in the disaster treatment, and took the initiative to ask for a name on it.

That's it, Xiao Qin reminded him many times before he signed, and asked him to think clearly before speaking.

Anyway, regarding the military order, Xiao Qin had a clear conscience, and he didn't feel that he couldn't stand Yao Qinian.

Everything has a price, since you have signed the military order, you should put away your messy thoughts and follow Xiao Qin to do business.

Besides, Xiao Qin considered that he was old and not suitable to go to the front line, so he let him stay in Yao's mansion, and he was already very considerate of Yao Qinian.

Who would have thought that things would have developed to such a point.

If you want to talk about Xiao Qin's responsibility, of course, there is, mainly because he doesn't have too deep a concept of money in this world.

It should not be a problem to simply think that it should be possible to supply the materials of a certain area with the power of one government.

But he overlooked the important point, that all the money that had gone into the treasury to be taxed could not be touched.

That is to say, at the end of the year, all the taxes collected by the Huzhou government for a year have entered the reserve treasury and have been affixed with official seals.

According to the management, soon the imperial court will send a messenger to receive this levy and transfer it to the treasury of the imperial palace.

In other words, this huge amount of money is already considered the money of the state treasury, and Yao Qinian does not dare to touch this money even if he has the courage.

In this way, the argument of gathering the strength of the entire Huzhou is unreliable.

Although the money is still there, it has already gone into the treasury.

Therefore, the money spent on disaster relief is basically out of Yao Qinian's own pocket.

Although the disaster situation is still under control, more than 200,000 people have been affected by the disaster, and many of them have no household registration.

Since it is on behalf of the official disaster relief, it is natural that one cannot be favored over the other, and if it is given to this disaster-stricken county, it will inevitably be others.

Even to maintain their minimum subsistence rations, two or three hundred thousand mouths, one mouth is Haikou.

It is equivalent to using the Yao family to support these two or three hundred thousand mouths.

It's really embarrassing to think about it, Yao Qinian.

"Why didn't you tell me about these situations earlier?" Xiao Qin asked.

"I told you." Yao Qinian was extremely aggrieved: "But you said let me figure out my own way, what can I do except invite the court and urge me." ”

"What does the reply from the adults of the Ministry of Industry mean that they want to be funded?"

"It means that the above has not been discussed, and they can't help it, so it means that I should pay for my own private money first."

"Master Xiao, can you see that it has been more than ten days since the first batch of materials were distributed, and more people have gone out this day."

"Yao Mansion really can't hold on, if it continues like this, the next step is to sell my entire Yao Mansion's ancestral home."

Xiao Qin glanced at Huang Kang, Huang Kang tilted his head sideways, obviously a little embarrassed.

Just now he scolded Yao Qinian for being the most fierce, and he also gave people the nickname of Yao Dianyan.

Bah! How embarrassed he is.

"Didn't think of any other way?" Xiao Qin was unwilling: "For example, if you find a way for your local rich businessmen, you are the prefect of Yizhou, and your Yao family has been a famous family for generations, if you want to come and speak, they have to give some face, right?" ”

"I've found it, I've found it all." Yao Qinian said sadly: "But my face is really not enough, those rich businessmen have people on top of each other, otherwise they can't be rich businessmen, right?" ”

"You have a lot of truth in that." Xiao Qin nodded: "It seems that no matter what era it is, this is the common truth of being rich and unkind." ”

"They will sell His Highness Evian's face." Yao Qinian said: "It is said that as long as His Royal Highness Evian dares to sign an IOU with them, they will be willing to borrow as much as they want, but it is ......."

Xiao Qin's face sank, and Yao Qinian hurriedly shut up.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Let Evian come forward to borrow money from a wealthy businessman?

That sounds like a good idea, after all, Evian's current status is that of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It is a person from the royal family, and those profiteers are definitely not worried that the royal family will not pay them back, and they still wish that the royal family would not pay it back, and there are thousands of ways to get it back with interest.

But if you think about it carefully, Yao Qinian took the lead, and then Evian came forward, and this thing was done, so it would be difficult for Evian and Yao Fu to get out of touch again.

At that time, the profiteers can go to Yaofu to ask for money, and Yaofu will have to find Evian.

Since ancient times, the debt relationship is stronger than any other relationship, and the repayment of debts by fathers and sons can implicate the next generation, which is exactly such a reason.

The more Xiao Qin thought about it, the more he felt that the person who came up with this idea was so deep that it was terrifying.

"Whose idea?"

Yao Qinian obviously noticed that Xiao Qin was very displeased.

I just wanted to open my mouth, and then it became slurred.

Yao Qinian didn't have this brain, Xiao Qin was sure that if the entire Yao Mansion was to say that it was the smartest, it had to be Yao Tao.

"Isn't it Yao Tao?"

Yao Qinian was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say no, but his expression had betrayed him, and he simply sighed: "Lord Xiao, there is no way to do it, otherwise who would dare to implicate His Highness Evian." ”

"But I have already pressed this matter, and I didn't dare to let His Highness Evian come forward."

"You're smart." Xiao Qin nodded, but at the same time, he was once again extremely dissatisfied with Yao Tao.

In the end, I underestimated how bad this woman was.

I thought that if she was given a chance, she would be able to reflect on it and make up for it, but she didn't expect it to get worse.

Thinking of this, he got up suddenly, since Yao Tao still dared to take advantage of his absence, to fight Evian's idea, it showed that it was an absolutely wrong idea to entrust Evian to Yao Tao in the first place.

"Yao Qinian, has Evian woken up, how are you now?"

"This ...... This ......"

Xiao Qin's heart sank, where could he take care of anything else, so he pulled his legs and rushed towards Evian's room.
