Chapter 4: The Mess of the Second Ancestor

Li Yewu spoke amazingly, and walked to the back room after speaking.

Seeing her actions, everyone was stunned.

No way?

They are all like this, the heads of the four major families in the dignified city have all sat in public to protest, and the palace should return the money if they want to save face, right?

Didn't you give Ma Da a batch of money back just now, how come they have no money, and even lie and say that they are not princesses, they have no responsibility, and they have to rest, is this bullying them without a knife!

Just when everyone was filled with righteous indignation, the seemingly beautiful and gentle princess suddenly stopped and turned back.

Everyone immediately lit the flame of hope, and when she came, she was really just pretending to be free and easy, but she was actually afraid that they would do this!

After all, if the king does not repay his debts, and the news of the creditors coming to the door to stage a sit-in demonstration spreads, where will the face of the palace go?

Just when everyone was secretly happy and waiting for the princess to repay the money, Li Yewu spoke.

"There is no food in the house, remember to solve it yourself when you are hungry."

"......" the crowd.

Li Yewu left without looking back after explaining, and the rich people were all dumbfounded.

"This ...... What should I do? ”

"This girl doesn't play cards according to the routine!"

"Judging by her clothes, they are indeed not as expensive as my maids, maybe there is something wrong with the rumors outside......"

In order to avoid falling into their entanglement, the old housekeeper also fled silently when the merchants and wealthy families were muttering.

For a while, only the debt collectors were left in the living room of the palace, and the merchants were still in the living room for a long time.

The old butler lamented as he went back to the backyard, he really shouldn't have too much hope for his master.

Although he doesn't like to listen to Martha's words, he has to say that it does make sense.

It's not a family, it's not a door.

How could this unreliable guy find a virtuous princess......

After all, he thought about it a lot, and looking at the little lady's appearance of not caring about herself and shirking responsibility, he knew that this person's kung fu was as pure as his master, and in the future, he couldn't live his life!

The old butler went into the backyard with a dead heart, intending to take out the last bit of the coffin, so that he could help with a little bit of it.

Who knows, as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw that the little lady who was still very chic was waving at him.

The old housekeeper suddenly realized, it turned out that the little lady was not a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, but just used a delaying tactic to find a way in the backyard?

Thinking of this, the old butler couldn't help but burst into tears.

Is the palace finally about to usher in a reliable master?

It's so impressive!

Xiao ...... How much money did the king owe? ”

"Little lady comes with me."

The old butler said and took Li Yewu to the study, and then found the column of Tai Yan Cheng in the many bibliographies, and pulled out a thick pile of IOUs.

"Little lady, before I say this, I hope you understand that our master is a promising and lucky man, no matter what......"

"Okay, you don't have to give me a booster shot, I know what kind of person he is, hurry up and report the number."

Xiao Jiuxi will die in a few years, what kind of luck can he have, these words are almost the same to deceive children.

Li Yewu just wanted to know how much he owed and whether he could solve the trouble at one time.

Seeing this, the old butler replied with a silent sigh.

"We owe eight million taels of silver to the four major families of Taiqi City."

"Multi-...... How much? ”

Li Yewu's eyes widened at her.

"Eight million taels ......," the butler gestured to eight.

Li Yewu only felt that his mind was clouded, "What is the price here?" ”

The old housekeeper looked confused: "What...... What...... Price? ”

Li Yewu sighed: "I mean how much is a pound of rice in Taiqi City, cough, you know, I lived in the imperial capital before and didn't know much about Taiqi City."

Also, how much is the monthly income of King Qi, and how much is the income of the property in King Qi's hands, please tell the housekeeper truthfully.

Of course, the premise is that you really want to help Xiao ...... If the prince settles the debt, please tell me. ”

The old housekeeper did not doubt that he immediately replied: "The price of rice in Taiqi City this year is 50 wen a catty, and the master's salary is 500 taels of silver per month, and His Majesty will give the master an additional 30,000 taels of silver every quarter." As for the master's property, the current master ...... There is no industry, only deserted fields and hills as far as the eye can see. ”

“???”

Li Yewu was shocked by the words "no industry", there are still princes in this world who have no industry? Just kidding, right?

The housekeeper was a little weak-hearted: "I used to have it, but it was exchanged for money by the master." ”

……

Li Yewu was suffocated for a while: "This guy ...... What to do with so much money. ”

"Relief for the victims......" the housekeeper replied honestly.

"......" Li Yewu.

I don't know, I think Xiao Jiuxi has helped the victims of the entire universe.

Li Yewu resisted the urge to pinch Xiao Jiuxi to death, and quickly calculated his salary.

Xiao Jiuxi paid 500 taels per month, plus an additional 30,000 taels of pocket money per quarter, which was equivalent to 186,000 taels given by the emperor to Xiao Jiuxi every year.

As for 50 wen a pound of rice in Tai Qi City, she doesn't know whether it is expensive or cheap, but even if it is 100 wen a catty, Xiao Jiuxi earns 186,000 taels a year, which should be completely enough for his expenses, how can he fall into the situation of selling all his properties and even owing 8 million?

And it is said that the good Taiqi City is the richest vassal state of the Great Chu Empire? The situation of bandits and slums is completely different from what the novel describes.

"Although Taiqi is rich, after all, it has just calmed down the turmoil, and most of the nobles here have been exiled, bandits have taken advantage of the opportunity, and the people have been displaced...... The master was merciful and set up a charity hall to take in the homeless refugees, build houses and distribute relief money and food rations, and never stopped.

Over time, when the master's money was emptied, he borrowed from the rich families in Taiqi City, and the long-term borrowing became a debt ...... today."

The housekeeper silently told the story of the prince's debts, and there was still a light in his eyes to worship the saint.

"......" Li Yewu.

At first glance, it sounds quite touching, but when you think about it, it's just wrong.

Xiao Jiuxi actually wants to use money ability to solve the difficulties of troubled times? Didn't think about anything else?

The old housekeeper shook his head, "The master said that money can solve all things......

"......" Li Yewu.

Very good, it's really not a thing, he patted his ass and ran to the imperial capital to participate in the heir, and he didn't come back until he died in battle, and this debt finally became a headless dead debt.

It's just that he took pity on the creditors and tool man Li Yewu in Taiqi City.

Li Yewu is not the protagonist in the novel, and naturally there is no detail about her going to the fiefdom, but judging from the current experience, I am afraid that Li Yewu's life will not be easy, and it will be even worse when Xiao Jiuxi dies.

It is estimated that Li Yewu himself did not expect that saving a prince jumped from the mud pit of poverty to the abyss of poverty.

Eight million in debt...... How can I pay it back?

Li Yewu really can't wait to beat up the second ancestor, as a prince, he doesn't learn the ability to govern the country and level the world, what is the fool.

Normal people know that using the charity hall to help the people can only be emergency and not for a long time, otherwise they will be dragged down sooner or later!
