Chapter 2314 Light Gate Lintel 115
As soon as you walk through the gate, you feel something different. Look at the pavilions, pavilions, and carved railings and jade pillars. There is a message everywhere: rich, thieves are rich.
It will be easier if you have money... Ye Bing felt that Xi Ning, who was walking in front, suddenly became more energetic and felt eager to try.
This time it's not the living room, but directly to the study. Seeing Wu Shangshu, after bowing to him, Wu Shangshu placed his wrist on the desk.
Xining did not go over to take a pulse, but stood there and said again: "There is no need to check the pulse. Lord Shangshu is uneasy because of excessive worries."
However, Wu Shangshu was not surprised at all: "I don't know what a good solution is. Please give me some advice from the little miracle doctor."
Ye Bing, who was carrying the medicine box on his back, lowered his head. Hehe, it’s this sentence again, I’ve said it five times, and it works every time. It’s tried and true.
"Well~" Xining said in a long tone, twitching his thumb with his index and middle fingers.
Ye Bing is simply unbearable! This time was different from the previous four times. I asked for money directly and openly. He even pretended to twist the banknotes, which means he was asking for a lot of money.
Wu Shangshu was stunned for a moment, but then he understood and winked to the side. The staff member waiting next to him immediately took out a banknote and walked over.
The appearance of this staff member made Xining a little unhappy. What expression, why are you so disdainful? It seems that your job as a military advisor is voluntary labor and does not require any money. No one is nobler than the other, and you are helping a corrupt official, while my sister is helping a wise man. There is a fundamental difference.
When the banknote was handed to him, Xining glanced at it and saw that it was fifty taels.
She gave an obvious sneer, raised her head and squinted her eyes: "The adult's disease is incurable for the little girl, so she only needs to pay a 50-tael consultation fee."
Fifty taels is not enough? Wu Shangshu frowned.
Ye Bing opened his mouth and said: "The little miracle doctor's consultation fee is five taels, the doctor's treatment is one thousand taels, and the life saved is ten thousand taels. The current emperor was diagnosed and treated by the little miracle doctor at that time, which was ten thousand taels."
The air was unusually condensed, as if time had stood still.
When Xining counted to three, he bowed and said goodbye: "My daughter's abilities are limited. You can go to the Medicine God Valley for medical treatment. I'll say goodbye first." After that, he turned around and left.
The staff were dumbfounded now and were not that crazy. Even the imperial physician in the palace treated Wu Shangshu with a smile.
Before he crossed the threshold of the study, Wu Shangshu shouted: "Little miracle doctor, please stay!"
Xining stopped but did not turn around. He quickly brought the banknote over, otherwise there would be no need to turn around again and waste energy and time.
Sure enough, the staff quickly walked up to him and presented a stack of banknotes with both hands. The first one was one hundred taels.
That's pretty much it. Xi Ning took the banknotes lightly with one hand and started counting them. This move made the three people present feel like they were just a little money-crazy.
Not only did he count them, he also picked up one and looked at the light outside the door. After confirming that it was correct, he folded it, stuffed it into his arms, turned around and walked to the chair next to him to sit down.
After spending a thousand taels of silver, the spectrum was so grand that ordinary people would kneel down in fear even when they saw a ninth-grade county magistrate. For this reason, this little miracle doctor was no ordinary creature.
So Wu Shangshu shouted: "Tea!" Xining did not refuse, the tea was brought immediately, and she took a sip. Well, yes, Yunding contains green, it is a tribute, but it is different.
After moistening his throat, he began to say: "The Ministry of Industry has submitted a letter to build the river embankment; the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot come up with 200,000 taels of silver, and keeps crying about poverty. Now there is only 1,500,000 taels of silver in the national treasury. The annual expenditure last year and the year before last was 1.3 million taels, which means that even if the river embankments are not repaired, many places will have to tighten expenditures this year.”
Wu Shangshu listened quietly, telling the truth, and indeed there was some information. I hope this thousand taels of silver is not spent unjustly, otherwise starting from tomorrow, the promises of her impeachment will fly into the palace like snowflakes. Every time she was mentioned in court, she was accused of accepting bribes, blackmailing officials, and causing harm to the country and the people!
"There have been several reports to impeach Shangshu Wu for corruption and fraud. The Holy Emperor has sent people to check the treasury and various expenditures. There is no big problem in the Ministry of Revenue; on the contrary, the Ministry of Industry... is impressive."
The conversation changed and Wu Shangshu was frightened. But he still insisted: "All expenditures of the Ministry of Industry are clear and correct. If you don't believe me, just come and check the accounts."
There was a bit of contempt on Xi Ning's lips: "Many tricks are useless in the eyes of Huoyunshan Villa accountant and steward, and the palace will bear the brunt soon. Although the account book is made to be worth a copper plate, an egg can cost five Ten cents, three cents for a cabbage, maybe Mr. Wu, who is far away in the kitchen, understands what's going on, right? But the Lord has just taken office, and he doesn't want to cause too much conflict, but his patience is limited, especially because he is short of money. At that time. Many people in the palace who are responsible for purchasing will be in trouble if they don’t cough up the money.”
Wu Shangshu remained silent, but his expression was extremely ugly.
Xining took out a small book and read to it: "Wu Deyong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has eleven properties in his name, with an area of 537 acres. After becoming Minister, seven properties of his wives, concubines or clan members will be included. Place, farm property..."
He stopped reading here and then put on a meaningful smile: "Wu Shangshu, not counting the money in the bank and private treasury, these properties alone are enough for future generations to use for nine lifetimes."
The sentence "nine lifetimes" made Wu Shangshu's brows jump, and what came to his mind was a punishment - "kill the nine tribes".
To return the money in the bank and private treasury, could it be possible that the Holy Admiral had checked all his money?
"Think about what Huoyun Villa has done before. It has been favored by the late Emperor and His Majesty, and a businessman has also been reused. I hope Mr. Wu can make a decision early, and don't wait for the Holy One to run out of money and be desperate to make a dangerous move. Then It’s too late to regret it.”
Having said this, Xining picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp: "This cup goes well with tea." He put down the cup, bowed and left.
When he left, Wu Shangshu was in a daze, probably stunned, but he didn't react at all, his eyes were fixed.
When I got on the carriage, the staff rushed over: "Little miracle doctor, please stay."
Stuffing a gift box, the staff member lost his previous contempt and smiled with a smile on his face: "The master saw that the little miracle doctor is a tea lover, so he specially asked me to bring the tea set and the tea set. I hope the little miracle doctor won't dislike it."
< br>
"Oh, why are you so polite!" Xining said, and with a glance, Ye Bing next to him took the gift box over knowingly.
The staff bowed their heads and lowered their voices: "Please ask the little miracle doctor to come in front of the Holy One..."
"It's easy to talk about." Xining looked very generous, almost without patting his chest: "Since I have accepted the consultation fee, I will naturally get the things done. But please give Mr. Wu some advice. Everything is external and insignificant in the end. Good health is the most important thing.”
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes: "That's natural. Thank you to the little miracle doctor for the advice. Thank you very much."
He politely put her on the carriage and still stood there, bowing respectfully and saying goodbye.
After Xining got in the car, he opened the gift box and saw that it was the teacup he had just drank from, but the other three were packed together. There is also a small porcelain jar. When you open the lid, the aroma of tea leaves immediately wafts out, just like the tea you just brewed.
Ye Bing was really convinced. He extorted a thousand taels of silver, plus a set of four cups of Shanghao official kiln tea sets and a box of good tea leaves, and still had to apologize. And her monthly silver is only 5 taels. It used to be a lot, but now it seems that it is just a drop in the bucket. Is it more profitable to study medicine than to sell martial arts?
