Chapter 855

The emperor's impression of Liancheng is really wonderful. 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 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 and got into the carriage. He was very relieved. Even if he closed his eyes, he could 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 the burden on his shoulder was too heavy. After waiting for him to leave, he hurried to Liancheng hospital and asked someone to call Lian Shu and tell them Xia Xi's words.

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 the residence of marquis Jing, the Secretary of the Ministry of household collected all the officials' money. After seeing the sky, the Secretary 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 money no matter what.

Then the door of marquis Jing's house was open. After hearing the porter's report, the housekeeper came out with someone to welcome the Secretary of the household department to Marquis Jing's house.

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 wait for a good rest, don't delay."

"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?"

Waiting for the voice suddenly raised, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts was startled and the 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 really procrastinating. He should be raising money, but he didn't poke it out. After the tea came up, he tasted a few mouthfuls and praised him, "good tea is still waiting for good 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. Today, it's rare for Liu Shangshu to come here and specially let people prepare it."

With a smile on his face, the Secretary of the Ministry of household said thanks. He slowly tasted tea and chatted with Jinghou. One, two, three. When he drank the fifth one, the Secretary of the Ministry of household felt that his stomach was full of water and he didn't need to eat dinner. When he was about to urge Jinghou to wait, the housekeeper came in from outside and whispered in his ears.

Waiting for the eyes immediately lit up, people also have the spirit, opened the quilt out of bed, "Liu Shangshu, you wait a while, I'll go to 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 Department of household took it, carefully counted it, put it away, and got up, "excuse me, wait."

Waiting for the red light all over his face, where there is still a sick look, ha ha a smile, full of air way, "I delayed Liu Shangshu's business, please don't blame."

The head of the household department waved his hand and waited to see him out of the house. He watched them walk away, turned around and hurried to the study. Looking at the silver note on the desk, he asked for 100000 Liang. Peiru sent 150000 Liang and attached a letter telling him that the Xia family is a famous merchant's family in Liangzhou. If they 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?"

"If it's not enough, I'll pay two million Liang 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.
