MTL - I Don’t Want To Fight Anymore After Wearing An Outer Room-Chapter 513 out of money

  Chapter 513 No Money

  Xiaowen Shangshu finally came to the court, which attracted the attention of the courtiers, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expressed concern for him.

   Xiaowen Shangshu, who had been "sick" for a while, seemed to be calmer, and he didn't look as cold and unkind as before. When someone greeted him, he actually returned.

   This is amazing!

  In the past, when everyone greeted him, he would nod at most, but now he actually replied! Although his voice was cold, he opened his mouth! As for the attitude... Well, everyone knows that Xiaowen Shangshu doesn't look down on people, he just has that kind of temperament, born with the face of the king of hell.

  Many people thought unkindly in their hearts: Xiaowen Shangshu is recovering from this illness! The wine was not in vain.

  But soon the ministers regretted it.

   "What, the Ministry of Households has no money and can't pay the salary? It won't be paid this month?" The head of the Ministry of Rites who said this couldn't help raising his voice, thinking that this matter was simply a fantasy.

   "Without salary, how will we live?"

The household official who was caught had an apologetic smile on his face, "The national treasury is empty, and the household department has no money. How can I get a salary? This is the decision of the superior, and the lower official is just an errand." The implication is that you are talking I have no use either.

   Seeing this, other people quickly gathered around, "No salary? This has never happened before."

   "That is, without a salary, it is difficult for my family to maintain, how can I work for the court with peace of mind?"

   "Impossible, the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot have no money. Didn't all the money fined before go into the treasury?"

   "Yes, yes, we must give us an explanation."

   "That's not right, I'm a fellow from the same township, I work as an errand in the Imperial Academy, and I've already received my salary in the morning. You guys are... Ben Humph, if the official wants this, I'll play His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I'll give you a copy."

   "Is it true that the Hanlin Academy has received it? I dare say that this is for our Ministry of Rites to wear small shoes. Go together, go together, let's go together and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to decide."

The officials of the household department did not rush, cleared their throats, and said loudly: "Everyone, please listen to the officer. You made a mistake. It's not that the salary is not paid, but the salary is delayed. The household department really has no money. Take Why pay you all salaries? I can only owe it first. Come, come, come, IOU, one hand, sign and draw, and you can take it away."

  It's a pity that no one came forward, what they want is salary, what do they want IOUs for? Everyone was aggrieved, and just about to turn around and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to uphold justice, he heard the man say again: "This is what His Highness the Crown Prince agreed to. You can go to His Highness to make decisions, and the Ministry of Households can't change the money."

"Yes, the Ministry of Households received a large amount of fine money before, but you all know that our Daqing family has a great business and there are many places to spend money. It was allocated as military pay before it was warmed up. If you don't believe me, I will ask you, Mr. Shangshu Ask, it was transported away the day before yesterday, he knows about it."

"Everyone, don't worry. Our Xiaowen Shangshu said that you will not miss a piece of paper. It is just a period of time. The court is really difficult. As the court officials, the court is in trouble, and the courtiers can't stand up? It's not no Post it, what does it matter if it's early or late?"

  When everyone heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had agreed, they began to hesitate. If I don't send it, I'm not the only one. If I go to see the prince, won't the prince hate it?

   Hey, that's not right! Didn't someone receive a salary?

   "Why do some people receive salaries?"

   "Yes, yes, why are some people special?"

The official from the household department explained: "Master Li is talking about Niu Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, right? He was born in a farming family and has no permanent property. A family of seven or eight lives in a rented house. The whole family is pointing to Niu Hanlin's salary. To live on, if you don’t pay him a salary... you can’t force him to die! It’s not decent for the imperial court to order an official.”

Immediately afterwards, the topic changed, "Master Li, you are different. You come from a wealthy family, and you don't live by this point of salary at all. Can't you be considerate of the difficulties of the court? If you are so fussy about such a small matter, is there any friendship between colleagues? gone?"

   His words made Master Li's complexion change. He wanted to refute but was afraid of being labeled as "inconsiderate of the court's difficulties and lacking the friendship of colleagues".

  At this moment, another person spoke, "What about me? I am from the same town as Niu Hanlin, and I also came from a farming family. Although the house is not rented, the family has no permanent property, and I have a large family to support."

The household official smiled, "Master Zhao, how can you be the same as Niu Hanlin? Although you are also from a farming family, you have a good Yue family and your wife has a rich dowry. Do you have any salary? Are your lives different?" ?Although the dowry is a woman's private property, but husband and wife are one, and you are loving husband and wife, Mrs. Zhao will not ignore your food and drink, right? No matter how bad it is, don't you have an IOU? You just give it to your wife, and it can always be exchanged for silver. "

  Everyone looked at Mr. Zhao in unison. Mr. Zhao's complexion was even uglier than that of Mr. Li. I really hated myself for speaking so fast, why did I say one more sentence.

The official from the household department smiled again, "Don't worry, my lords, the imperial court knows your respective situations, and you really can't live on, and the imperial court is not sympathetic. Like Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Gao and Mr. Yang also have a poor family, so they can also receive a salary. As for the other adults, please wait a little longer."

  Master Zhang, Lord Gao and Lord Yang were both surprised and happy when they heard that they could receive a salary. I was so worried a moment ago, but now I am so pleasantly surprised! They all bowed their hands towards the north, very grateful, "I thank the emperor for your compassion, and thank you His Royal Highness for your compassion!"

  As for the others, there are some who feel aggrieved, but who keeps them from being poor? All of them lowered their eyelids, not knowing what they were thinking.

The officials of the household department saw everyone's expressions in their eyes, and let out the last big thunder, "Oh, there is one more thing to tell you adults. We, Xiaowen Shangshu, accidentally discovered a lot of IOUs, and only then did we know that the ministers In the past years, I borrowed money from the Ministry of Households, and there are always a lot of money. The meaning of His Royal Highness is to let everyone return the borrowed money. After all, the treasury is empty. However, considering that it is not easy for everyone, the money owed will be taken from the salaries of your lords. Debited, as long as enough is deducted. Master Miao, Master Zhao, Master Li, is this IOU stored in the household department, or do you take it to the household department to replace it?"

He frowned, as if thinking of something, he quickly changed his words, "Forget it, forget it, I forgot to stamp the seal of the household department, so I can only work hard for you adults to come to the household department. My lords, I will take my leave first. Already!"

   After finishing speaking, he left quickly before the others came to their senses. If he didn't leave, he was afraid of being beaten.

   I forgot to stamp it, hey, the Ministry of Accounting is my territory, isn’t it safe?

  It’s really not easy, I finally finished the errands assigned by Shangshu Xiaowen, but I don’t know what happened to the other colleagues.

  Go to Xiaoxiang Academy to see the update.

   Ask for a monthly pass!
