Chapter 300 About Rewarding Silver
Huo Qiqi looked at the pile of bank notes but couldn't be happy.

She still understands the principle of shooting the first bird.

With Nanping and her party, some people in the court are already dissatisfied with her.In order to reward her with this bounty of silver, the emperor was under tremendous pressure.

A companion is like a tiger. From the current point of view, the emperor does have a lot of trust in the Duke's Palace, but who can guarantee that the emperor's trust in the Duke's Palace will be maintained.

The old man and his brother have kept a low profile for many years, and they must not break the rules from her.This money is a hot potato, and she absolutely cannot take it.Perhaps, this is the emperor's temptation to her and Duke Huguo's mansion!

But the banknote had already been delivered by the father-in-law in the palace, so Huo Qiqi would return it directly, which would definitely not work.After all, the emperor got angry in front of so many courtiers, the king is not joking, what he said is the truth.

If at this time, she doesn't know how to return the silver, I'm afraid that the emperor will not only miss her kindness, but also get angry because of it.

After thinking about it, Huo Qiqi didn't come up with any rules for the time being.

"Qiqi, you're not happy when you see silver?" Wang Shaojie teased her, "Did you see a beauty today that made you lose your mind?"

Thinking of Huo Qiqi's awkward look in front of Qingya girl's door, Wang Shaojie couldn't help laughing.

They came out of the rouge and gouache shop so early, thanks to Miss Qingya, he felt that Huo Qiqi seemed to be running away.

"Why are you happy?" Huo Qiqi sneered.

"If you feel embarrassed, just try to spend the money." Huo Yi'an and Huo Yi came over.

"Brother, what do you mean?" Huo Qiqi finally sat up straight.

"As long as you find a reason and spend the money in the name of the emperor, the emperor will not be able to say anything." Huo Yichen also laughed.

"After being reminded by you, I thought of a place to go. But I have to find a safe excuse." Huo Qiqi said.

"What do you mean?" Huo Yi'an asked.

"Let my grandfather write a letter to the emperor, and ask the emperor to issue an order to set up private schools in the counties and villages within [-] miles of the capital. All school-age children who are willing to study will be directly paid by the government. However, the government can only manage each student for ten years. After ten years, all the money will be paid by myself," Huo Qiqi said.

"3 taels of silver seems like a lot. But if you follow what you said, it's actually just a drop in the bucket. Even if the emperor does the same, the ministers of the court may not agree. Secondly, the Duke of the Protectorate is a military officer. If grandfather I'm afraid that some of the civil servants will instigate meddling in the affairs of the civil servants." Huo Yi'an explained after a little thought.

"Brother is really thoughtful." Huo Qiqi nodded, "That's why I hesitated whether I would like to make a move. Once my grandfather writes the letter, we will definitely have to put in money for the follow-up money. Two silver coins is not a difficult task. But as long as I think about it, not only will we not get the benefit of a dime, but also easily offend others, my heart will be cold and cold, and I will never pay a single coin again. "Huo Qiqi sighed, "You know it's a loss-making business, but you still have to mix it up. You really can't be regarded as a qualified businessman."

Wang Shaojie listened to it, and couldn't help shaking his head, "It's a bottomless pit, I'm afraid that the emperor will ask you to pay money every year. If you do this, you will suffer a lot."

"With only 3 taels, this matter will definitely not work." Huo Yichen said.

"Then let's do it. But for one year, we only give out 5000 silver. If the sixth prince is willing to donate books, we can save a lot of silver."

"It's not impossible." Huo Yi'an replied.

"Since the books are provided by the sixth prince, after the students run out, all the books can be left for the next generation of children. Just add some missing books to it every year. In this way, the pressure on the sixth prince will be less A lot." Huo Yishen agreed. "That said, it's a good thing."

Wang Shaojie looked at the money in the room with some distress. Although he had made some money recently, his eyes would still shine when he saw the money.It's a pity that he didn't touch so much money, so he wanted to return it.

At noon, the family gathers for dinner.Huo Yi'an said what the brothers thought.

After listening, the old man took a look at Huo Qiqi.Huo Qiqi hastily stated, "I came up with this idea, grandfather, don't blame eldest brother and fourth brother. I'm thinking, the emperor will benefit the most from this matter, and the emperor will definitely not think about it. Anyway, we just pay the money, and the rest We don't intervene in the matter."

Duke Protector nodded, but thought about it in his heart.

Hmph, it's definitely not okay to pit Huguo Gongfu's family, no matter what, you have to let others bleed along with you.

In this way, the Duke Protector's Mansion will not be too eye-catching.

On the second day, in the morning, after the emperor asked some questions on a routine basis, a look of sleepiness appeared on his face.

The eunuch immediately yelled loudly, "If there is something to do, go to court, and if there is nothing to do, leave the court."

All the ministers immediately prepared to kneel down and thank En to leave.

Duke Hu Guo moved a side to the side, "Report to the emperor, the old minister has something to play."

The emperor and all the ministers were surprised when they saw him stand up.The Duke Protector is a scoundrel, but these years, he has rarely been involved in state affairs.

The old guy only cared about Huo Qiqi, Huo Qiqi was not up to date before, and would cause some troubles every now and then.The old guy has dismissed everything he could, and if he can't, he will simply go to the emperor.

The emperor subconsciously thought that Huo Qiqi must be causing trouble outside again, and the Lord Protector came to him to seek justice.

The emperor frowned, looking at Duke Hu with a headache.

"The old minister has something to play." Duke Huguo emphasized again.

"Please tell me, old man." The emperor cheered up.

"Your Majesty made a promise and rewarded Qi Qi with 3 taels of silver. The old minister first thanked the Lord for his kindness on Qi Qi's behalf." The Lord Protector knelt down to the emperor.

"Old Duke, it's because of this." The emperor breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words.

"Qi Qi was so happy to get the silver that she hardly slept a wink all night." Duke Hu Guo started chattering again.

The emperor's heart was suspended again. The old guy always hesitated when speaking, and he spoke in a roundabout way, which meant that he must have a backhand.

Sure enough, Duke Protector continued, "Children's temperament has made everyone laugh."

Many officials laughed dryly, and no one knew what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

"While Qi Qi was happy, she thought that the emperor had suffered a lot of grievances for this batch of silver. This child felt sorry for the emperor, so he made up his mind to donate the silver to the treasury." As soon as the Duke Hu's voice fell, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately uttered Little commotion.

I've never heard of it, and there are people who volunteer to donate money to the country!Huo Qiqi can be regarded as setting a precedent.

Even the emperor, sitting on the dragon chair, was stunned for a moment.But in the end it is the emperor, his mind is faster than ordinary people.

"Okay, I really didn't see her wrong." Long Xin was overjoyed!
Grand Master Zhao felt awkward when he heard this, he already knew that Huo Qiqi had extorted 1 taels of silver from Wan Qilai.
