Xiao Rui patted him on the shoulder: "Just kidding, isn't there still that IOU?" Deduct from the IOU. The silver here, Ben Hou will not touch one or two, and will continue to leave it and send it to the candidates. When this funding is over, if there is any surplus, it will be sent to the state treasury to offset the account. If there is no balance, the remaining 100,000 arrears, Benhou will not be in arrears. ”

Call...... Hearing this, Gao Shilian breathed a long sigh of relief. If it's an IOU, then it's okay, if you really pull out another 200,000 from the treasury, then the emperor can't cut me.

After cleaning up everything, the officials and guards of the household department all went to have fun and enjoyment, and Gao Shilian walked to the super palace with anxiety.

Xiao Rui arranged the guards of the silver money, and then walked out of the temporary yamen, but he didn't think that due to the leakage of the news, the silver here was empty, but it was surrounded by the people.

So Xiao Rui could only show up and give an impromptu speech. In the warm farewell of everyone, Xiao Rui got into the carriage and floated away.

In the palace, Li Er is in a good mood today, and the treasury is a good thing of unexpected wealth, who can not be happy?

"Your Majesty, the guilty minister Gao Shilian greets!"

Oh?

"Gao Aiqing, what is this for? Has all the money been put into storage? How much? Li Er was a little surprised.

Gao Shilian said ashamedly: "Your Majesty, after the counting of the household department for a day and a night, the amount has been counted. The total is four hundred and ninety-seven thousand two hundred and eighteen taels. ”

Oh?

More than 497,000? That's half a million, which is about the same as expected.

"Aiqing has worked hard." Li Er smiled and said, "Those who participate this time will be rewarded. ”

Ahem......

Gao Shilian knelt down directly, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!" This money, this money...... It is not in storage. ”

Well?

What's going on?

Li Er's tone was already a little serious.

"Originally, the count had been completed, and I was about to load the car into storage, but、But the champion Hou suddenly arrived, and the silver、Silver ......."

"What about the silver?"

"All the silver was withheld by the Hou Ye, and the ministers and ministers couldn't refute it, after all, these were donated to the Hou Ye by the people, and they were nominally his money."

What???

Li Er took the case, "He, he...... How did he get here? ”

The old man next to him reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is spreading very quickly, and it is not surprising that the Hou Ye knows." ”

Li Er's chest was so angry that his chest rose and fell, but he had nothing to say, so he could only ask: "That kid transported all the money away?" Didn't you say half a million? The 300,000 he owes to the treasury should be repaid, right? ”

Gao Shilian shook his head and said: "Master Hou did not transport away the silver, but put it in the temporary yamen of Zhuque Street, and ordered it to be used to fund the candidates until no one signed up and the scientific examination was over." ”

"The loan of 300,000 taels of silver, Master Hou also has something to say."

Oh? What did he say?

Li Er asked curiously: "500,000 taels of silver, the subsidy candidates can't be used up at all." He should have exchanged the money first. ”

He, he......

Gao Shilian said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, at that time, just after counting the silver, the minister changed the account book to more than 297,000 taels in order to hide people's eyes. ”

"But, as soon as the change was completed, Hou Ye arrived, and he was arrested. You know Master Hou's temper, and he doesn't rub sand in his eyes, so ......"

"So what? The total told him truthfully, that is, he is a junior, does he dare to be angry with you? Li Er was puzzled.

After all, Gao Shilian is the maternal uncle of the eldest grandson, and Xiao Rui is indeed a junior, and he will not be disrespectful to Gao Shilian.

"Hou Ye said, because of the alteration, the total number is blurred, and it can barely be identified as 690,000 ......."

What???

"Six hundred and ninety-thousand? Why is there an extra 200,000? What does he mean? Did he fill in the 200,000? Li Er asked in surprise.

Forehead......

"No, Master Hou said, he sent someone to order it again, if the amount is not equal to 690,000, it is someone who is greedy for ink ......"

What??

Li Er was stunned, what does this mean? Counting the silver, these people are busy working for a day and a night, and in the end, they have to compensate him Xiao Rui 200,000 taels?

Bah! This is not embarrassing the Ministry of Households, this is clearly blackmail, blackmail!

Li Er was so angry that his face turned green.

Gao Shilian saw that the emperor's face was ugly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Hou Ye didn't let anyone lose money. Instead, it is proposed to settle the accounts with IOUs. The previous IOU was 300,000, and 200,000 were crossed out, leaving only 100,000 taels. ”

Li Er laughed angrily and snorted coldly: "What's the difference?" In the end, didn't the treasury lose 200,000 taels? ”

Gao Shilian hurriedly said: "No, Master Hou didn't really pull the silver back, but parked it all in the temporary yamen. Hou Ye left a message, saying that all the money was used to subsidize the candidates, and if there was a surplus in the future, it would all be sent to the treasury. If the silver runs out, then he will not owe the hundred thousand in arrears. ”

Well...... That's pretty much it.

Li Er's face finally softened, although Xiao Rui's account of 200,000 yuan was erased, but in the end, the 500,000 yuan donation had to go to the treasury, and it was not wasted.

As for the accounts? Anyway, the 300,000 arrears at the beginning didn't intend for Xiao Rui to really pay it back.

"Well, since this kid is meddling, let's do it. Aiqing has worked hard, and I will arrange the reward and merit later. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, the old minister is retiring."

……

At the same time, the news of Chang'an's huge donation shook the entire five surnames and seven hopes, and the group of people in Chang'an gathered again for a meeting.

The people of the Taiyuan Wang clan spoke: "I think that there should be no such fuss. In the end, the scientific examination is still more knowledgeable, a group of mud legs, there is no cultural inheritance, relying on a few Mongolian academic brochures like scientific research? Pipe dream! Let them donate, even if the donated money can be piled up in Chang'an City, it will not be able to buy a champion. ”

"Hehe, Brother Wang, if you really spend money to buy it, you may not be able to buy it." Someone quipped.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, "Yes, money can buy a champion, but our Hou Ye is arrogant and disdainful of this." He wants to defeat us with dignity. ”

Upright? Is it possible? Almost no one believed it.

"But his name is Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui, who has not tasted defeat. ”

Yes, what happened to Xiao Rui was said to be impossible at the beginning, but Xiao Rui has created miracles again and again, so this person can't deal with it with common sense.

The eldest person from the Boling Cui clan said in a deep voice: "The reason why Xiao Rui wants to win with dignity is not because of his selfish desire to be competitive, he wants to break our backbone. Tell the world with facts that the so-called thousand-year-old family is nothing more than that, and it is not invincible. Since then, no one dares to provoke us casually, hehe......"

Hiss......

Indeed it is! Xiao Rui, I want to destroy our thousand-year-old family by myself, what a big breath!

Someone said angrily: "If you compete with him Xiao Rui for scientific research, then none of us dare to beat him." But you want those mud legs who have no inheritance to compare with us in the exam? Joke! ”

"That's right......"

……

Just when the crowd was excited, the people of the Qinghe Cui clan spoke: "Xiao Rui didn't expect those mud legs, this time he spent a lot of money to buy those poor people. Most of these people have a family heritage, and no one dares to guarantee that with the incentive of one hundred taels of silver, there will be a few characters killed from it. ”

Hiss...... If so, it is indeed not to be underestimated.
