The Red Chamber: Daiyu's eldest sister is not easy to be

As he said that, the emperor sized her up carefully, then shook his head, and said: "But I see, your face doesn't look like you have put on makeup, it seems that your makeup is not very good Ah, could it be that you have encountered a profiteer?"

Although Jiu Si washed up before entering the palace, but because of the hot weather, she didn't put on makeup. She thought it would be better to see the palace clean, so as not to make the nobles dislike her too much appearance. The emperor caught the little braid.

There are rules on how to dress up when officials and female family members come to the palace to meet. Once the Su Yan Mian Sheng is really investigated, it will be punished as a crime of disrespect.

Jiusi understood that the emperor was letting her choose. If she wanted money, she would have to be punished. If she didn't want to be punished, she would have to hand over all the money. To have both is a no-brainer.

There is no way, in order not to be punished, she can only spend money to eliminate the disaster.

However, in order to maximize the benefits, she did not hand over the money directly, but changed a way: "If you go back to the emperor, the powder money that the minister said is not all the money earned, but the return of the money owed to the treasury." The silver taels left after the silver is only a hundred taels after careful calculation."

The emperor didn't expect her to mention the silver owed, so he couldn't help being surprised for a moment, but he recovered quickly and asked aloud: "Oh, how did you think of returning the silver owed to the treasury?
Could it be that your father told you? "

Jiusi replied quite naturally: "It's only natural to pay off debts, so why do you need to be accounted for?"

After hearing this, the emperor was silent.

Such a simple truth, even a little girl like her understands it, why does no one of his courtiers understand it?

Maybe they don't understand, but they just don't want to pay back the money. After all, his courtiers' families have borrowed a lot of money from the state treasury.

It is a good thing that the heavenly family bestows kindness on ministers in need to borrow money from the treasury, but it will be passed on to future generations, isn't it a good story about the emperor and his ministers?

It's a pity, money is easy to borrow, but it's hard to ask for it even if the creditor is the royal family, let alone he can't pull himself off to ask for it.

Just like when he first came to the throne, the border wars continued, and natural disasters were still everywhere. The Supreme Emperor didn't care about everything, he only cared about enjoying himself, and the poor state treasury didn't even go to the rats. He couldn't just hint at the courtiers Pay back the money instead of asking for it yourself!

He still remembered the scene at that time, no matter how he hinted, none of the courtiers were willing to return the money owed to the treasury.

In the end, if he hadn't raided the homes of several corrupt officials so that the policy could go smoothly, how many people would have died at the border and disaster areas.

In recent years, although his throne has been firmly established and the government affairs have become orderly, the treasury is still so poor, otherwise he would not have found Lin Jiusi who cut his bullshit.

Although there was a reason for the concubine to get rid of those families this time, she also wanted to take the opportunity to supplement the national treasury, but she didn't expect that Lin Jiusi, who cut off her husband, would appear halfway.

Now that she proposed to return the owed money, it reminded him, why not try to get back the owed money instead of spending so much time to sort out so many things.

At the beginning, he was in an unstable position and couldn't suppress those courtiers, but now that his position is stable, there is no need to endure them anymore.

Thinking of this, he looked down at Lin Jiusi, thinking that this was a good time, and then asked aloud, "Are you really willing to return the money owed to the treasury?"

Jiusi nodded firmly: "Of course!"

Seeing her nodding, the emperor was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I've entrusted you with a matter. If you can do it well, I will consider the matter you asked for earlier, how about it?"

Before, Jiusi wanted the emperor to let the Liu family and her leave the Lin family directly, but he refused because Lin Ruhai was still working hard for him, and he couldn't chill the hearts of his subjects.

Now, he actually took the initiative to mention this matter, Jiu Si naturally would not let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty's words are true?"

Seeing her eagerness, the emperor knew that the matter was settled, and said with a smile: "Once the emperor has spoken, there is no reason to take it back. As long as you help me finish this matter, then I will give you a chance."

He was not afraid that Lin Jiusi would ask for something, but he was afraid that she would have nothing, because only in this way could he hold her to do things for him.

Especially Lin Jiusi and her maidservants are very skilled in martial arts, and she herself is good at medicine and poison. If there is nothing to restrain her, it will be really dangerous, and it will not make him feel at ease.

Jiusi didn't expect this unexpected joy, so he responded directly without saying a word: "It's a deal, and I hope that after the matter is settled, the emperor can do what you say."

Hearing this, the emperor stood up and came to her with a smile, and helped her up with the strength of the folding fan: "I knew you were a smart person, don't worry, I will definitely do what I say.

What I asked you to do is not other things, it is the matter of repaying the owed money. I hope that when you go to pay back the owed money, you can make a big noise, and it is best to let everyone know Zhong, I think this matter is not difficult for you! "

Jiusi proposed to pay back the money, in order to let the courtiers pay back the money with her, after all, she can't be the only one who feels sorry for her.

However, in order not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, she still pretended to have just reacted, and said: "The emperor... wants those ministers to pay back the money?"

Seeing that she had guessed it, the emperor didn't hide it from her, and said bluntly, "Exactly.

Since the state treasury opened this example, none of the courtiers have paid back the money. Even if the state treasury is empty, they don’t seem to be able to see it. No matter how I hint, it’s useless. There are no more IOUs left. "

After hearing this, Jiu Si blurted out: "Are these people so shameless?"

After finishing speaking, she realized that the Lin family was also among the people who owed money and refused to pay back. Even she who mentioned this matter wanted to let other people feel sorry for her along with her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help touching her nose in embarrassment, then lowered her head slightly, not daring to look up at the emperor's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

The emperor laughed at her for a while, and then he opened his mouth to relieve her embarrassment: "It's rare to see you with such a posture, it's rare.

But you don't have to pay too much attention to it. At that time, your father was working in Yangzhou and hadn't returned to Beijing. He didn't know about it. Your Lin family was not among the people you scolded. "

After hearing this, Jiusi's complexion improved, and he said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, haha...

Majesty, don't worry, the courtiers will definitely handle this matter well and make sure you are satisfied. "

After the emperor heard this, he just smiled and didn't say much. He never believed in guarantees and only looked at the facts. If he wanted to satisfy him, he had to look at her performance.

After being in contact for so long, Jiusi also understood the emperor's temperament a little bit. Not only did she like to do practical things without talking about them, but even her subordinates asked for the same, so she didn't say any more.

Afterwards, the two discussed the details again, and after confirming that there would be no problems with the control, she bid farewell to the emperor and empress together with Daiyu who came out of the inner palace, and went out of the palace to return to the Lin family.
