Chapter 854

The emperor has an impression of Liancheng.

He is really a wonderful person. He has been in the Imperial Academy for several decades, and he is still an old editor when he returns home.

Ask, "does this gift follow his father?"

Of course, the Secretary of Hubu knew what he was asking about and replied, "yes, it was similar to the old editor's time. He had been a clerk for so many years. It was not until the case of Yu Yi a few days ago that he was promoted to Hubu's servant."

"What else can he do for such a thing?"

"He's the one who found the Xia family."

The emperor thought of the key, must be Xia Xi instigated, "let him be responsible for the purchase of military supplies."

Hubu Shangshu got the will, went out of the palace, went directly to Prince Zhan's house, met Xia Xi, "Princess Zhan, I have asked the emperor, the emperor chartered to buy military supplies, let the Chamberlain in charge."

Xia Xi gave him the silver note. "I hope you can hurry up. The soldiers at the border are still suffering."

"Princess Zhan said that we will do it as soon as possible."

Hubu shangshuying went out of the gate of Prince Zhan's mansion, got into the carriage and breathed a long sigh of relief.

With these 1.2 million taels, even if we close our eyes, we can buy all the military supplies.

He walked forward and Xia Xi sent a message to Lian Li.

Lian Li had just had lunch. When he heard the messenger finish, he felt that the burden on his shoulder was too heavy.

After waiting for someone to leave, he went to Liancheng hospital in a hurry, let people call Lianshu, and tell them Xia Xi's words word for word.

Lian Cheng stroked his beard. "This is the first job that Princess Zhan trusted you and after you became a servant. If it's done well, you'll make a good progress in the household department, and even our family will rise with the tide and become more famous in the capital. If you can't do it well, not to mention the Minister of the household department, I'm afraid you don't even have the position of secretary. Therefore, you should try your best and make no mistake. "

"My son knows, but this is millions of military supplies, but I have no bottom in my heart."

"As long as you check the things you need to purchase and keep a clear account, there will be no mistakes."

……

For two days in a row, except for Jinghou house, the Secretary of the Ministry of household collected all the officials' money.

After looking at the sky, the Minister of the Ministry of household ordered people to come to the residence of marquis Jing again and made up their mind to let Marquis Jing take out the silver no matter what.

The door of Huijing Marquis's house was open. After listening to the porter's report, the housekeeper came out with someone to welcome the Secretary of the household department to the house of Lord Jinghou.

Open the door, a pungent smell of medicine came, the account Secretary frowned.

Marquis Jing leaned on the side of the bed. His face was pale. He looked as if he was really ill. He stretched out his hand to the Secretary of the Ministry of household and said, "please sit down."

He looks like this, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts is not good, directly asked for silver, sat down, and asked with concern, "wait for this?"

Waiting for a few coughs, "it's just cold, it's not in the way."

How cold is it in September? Hubu Shangshu chuckled in his heart, and his face was still concerned. "Then Jinghou should have a good rest. Don't be careless."

"Thank you for your concern."

The Secretary of the Ministry of accounts waved his hand, "I'm here today..."

"Why don't you stand and make tea for Liu Shangshu?"

The voice of the quiet Marquis suddenly raised, and the Secretary of the Ministry of household was startled, and his voice stopped.

The housekeeper answered in a hurry and went down.

Static Hou weak smile, "let Liu Shangshu see smile, I this person in the mansion have no eyesight to see very much."

"Where."

Hubu Shangshu scolded him in his heart, but he also understood that he was procrastinating. After the tea came up, he tasted a few mouthfuls and praised, "good tea, still quiet Hou has taste."

"Where do I have taste? It was given to me by my concubine when I entered the palace. I've always been reluctant to drink it. It's rare for Liu Shangshu to come here today. I specially asked someone to prepare it."

Hubu Shangshu said thanks with a smile on his face. He slowly tasted tea and chatted with Jinghou. One, two, three. When he drank the fifth one, Hubu Shangshu felt that he was full of water and didn't need to eat dinner.

When he was about to urge Jinghou, the housekeeper came in from the outside and whispered in Jinghou's ear.

Jinghou's eyes lit up immediately, and people also had spirit. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, "Liu Shangshu, wait a moment, I'll go and bring you the silver ticket."

Hubu Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief, "please help yourself."

Marquis Jing didn't help him. He walked out quickly. Soon he came over with the bank note and handed it to the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts. "This is 300000 Liang. Liu Shangshu counted it."

The Secretary of the Ministry of household took it over, carefully counted it, put it away, and got up, "I'm disturbing you."

Static Hou red light full face, where still have the appearance of sick and weak, ha ha a smile, full of the way of gas, "is I delayed Liu Shangshu thing, please don't blame."

The Secretary of the Ministry of accounts waved his hand.

Jinghou personally sent him out of the house, watching them walk away, turned around and hurried to the study, looking at the silver ticket on the table.

He asked for 100000 Liang, and Peiru sent 150000 Liang with a letter telling him that the Xia family is a famous merchant's family in Liangzhou and has a rich family background. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, just write to her.

Waiting for the letter, left and right, up and down, read several times in a row, and then take it to find his wife, in front of her a good thrashing.

Luofeng is still waiting for the silver. After two days, Xia Xi doesn't send someone to ask for it, so he comes to the door in person.

"Sister-in-law, I'm ready for the bank notes. When are you going to let us donate?"

"Not for the time being."

"Enough?"

"Can it be enough? I paid two million taels myself. "

Luo Feng is not surprised at all, "what can I get from the auction?"

"Almost."

"I said, sister-in-law, you're still a little worse. You should tell me what you've donated so much silver. Now that the silver has been donated, you don't even have a good reputation, let alone anything else."

Xia Xi cunning smile, "I am not waiting for you to help me."

……

One day later, the rumor that Princess Zhan donated 2 million taels of silver to buy military supplies came out. People in Beijing once again burst the pot. Both civilians and businessmen praised Xia Xi.

"Princess Zhan is really a heroine. She took out all her family."

"I thought about the auction that day. Princess Zhan got rich this time. She sold more than one million taels and donated only 800000 taels. She earned money inside and outside. It's my villain's heart."

"Princess Zhan is a man who has a deep heart for his family and country. We big men feel inferior to ourselves."

……

The more the wind spread, the more intense it became. Even in the palace, it began to spread. Naturally, it also spread to the emperor's ears.
