“Our department doesn’t accept silver tickets without a brand name.” Liu Shilang refused again, Housekeeper Cao nodded his head to show that he understood: “Then, should I bring in the silver coins?”
“Even silver coins are not accepted!” Liu Shilang shouted in anger. What do the people of Xiao Wangfu mean? Can’t they understand human words?
No wonder his son didn’t do well. This was obviously not his son’s fault. This was because Xiao Wangfu’s people have a brain problem.
“Neither the silver ticket nor the silver coins are accepted? Are you resisting the imperial decree? The imperial decree is requiring our Xiao Wangfu to pay 200, 000 silvers.” Housekeeper Cao shamelessly mentioned the imperial decree and then put the silver tickets in his hand on the table: “I’ve put here the 200,000 silver tickets whether you like it or not.”
After saying that, he left without saying another word, and no matter how much the people called him back, he ignored him... ...
They gave them the silvers they wanted, so even if this matter was passed to the emperor’s ears, they were not afraid!
There is nothing to fear, because... ...
When the emperor saw the imperial decree presented by the Ministry of Rites and the silver tickets presented by the Ministry of Households, he smiled!: “Who announced the imperial decree?”
“It’s Young Liu Daren.” The Minister of Rites dare not conceal it.
“What is his relationship with Liu Shilang of Minister of Households?” It’s not that the emperor has a bad memory, but how could he remember such a small official? On the other hand, he remembered Liu Shilang, who collected the 200, 000 silvers. After all, not only he collected the silvers but also wrote a note about Xiao Wangfu’s attitude.
“It’s Liu Shilang’s son.” The Minister of Rites quietly wiped his sweat, he was very worried about himself. The emperor didn’t show dissatisfaction, he said with a smile: “The father and son fought bravely like tiger brothers, good!”
What does the emperor mean?
The Minister of Rites secretly took a glance at the emperor, when he saw him smiling, he suddenly got confused: Xiao Wangfei didn’t accept the imperial decree, why the emperor is not angry?
Did he not explain things well, or did the emperor not understand?
* contemporary romance
When Lin Chujiu saw that the sky was getting dark, but the emperor hasn’t called her to enter the palace, she also wanted to ask what the emperor mean to say?
“Isn’t the emperor trying to find fault at wangye by doing this and let him lose the trust of the people?” Lin Chujiu, who was sitting alone in the study room, was thinking about all the possibilities.
Originally, she was thought about all the possible countermeasures this whole afternoon, but now that the emperor doesn’t make a move, she couldn’t use them.
“Am I wrong? The emperor is not trying to find the fault of wangye?” If it’s not like that, then what does the emperor want to Xiao Tianyao?
If she accepted the imperial edict, Xiao Tianyao will definitely not be able to clear the charges of colluding with merchants, but now that she refused to accept it, things didn’t go according to the emperor’s wish, so why the emperor didn’t get angry?
“Did I miss something, the emperor was not aiming at Xiao Tianyao, but something else?” The more Lin Chujiu thought, the more she felt wrong, then suddenly she jumped up. Lin Chujiu looked for the information that Su Cha had sent to her this afternoon. The information was about the supporters behind the merchants... ...
“I was used as a gun by the emperor!”
The large grain merchants in the East Country, except for several imperial family’s relatives, most of them were from the Central Empire. The Zhang Family was one of the largest merchants, but others only belong to small families. Such a family cannot be underestimated in the East.
So it can be said that the price of grain in the East was completely at the mercy of the Central Empire. Even the emperor can only watch the price of rice increase helplessly.
“Sure enough, I was used!” Lin Chujiu slapped her forehead and couldn’t help but cry: Xiao Tianyao, I did something wrong, but... ...
