Chapter 777: Planning Book, Controlling Ten Thousand Gold
Bei Liyi put on her clothes, put on makeup, and then was helped by servants to the main hall.
In the past two days, the Emperor received a handwritten document from Emperor Beihan sent by Princess Manji, and learned that Princess Manji would soon arrive in the capital.
So the emperor sent a eunuch to deliver the news of Princess Manji today. Considering that Bei Liyi was still recovering from his injuries, the eunuch only delivered the message to the Beihan envoy.
"Great! The Imperial Aunt is coming!" Bei Liyi's face was full of joy, with the corners of her mouth raised in pride.
"With the Imperial Aunt around, no one dares to bully me!" And the Imperial Aunt will get whatever she wants for her!
The Beihan envoys looked at each other in bewilderment when they saw the princess's excitement. They were afraid that the princess would cause trouble again! Beihan had already paid a huge sum of money because the princess had murdered Princess Ye!
The ministers wanted to persuade Princess Li Yi but were afraid that she would go crazy and curse people. Then they thought that Princess Manji would soon arrive in the capital, so they could let Princess Manji admonish and teach Princess Li Yi then.
In addition to receiving the news from the eunuch, Bei Liyi also received an invitation from Princess Gaoyang, inviting her to visit in a few days.
Bei Liyi looked even more proud. Will she have the chance to meet the Night King again?
Bei Liyi and the envoys each had their own thoughts, but when they thought that another group of people were coming, they couldn't help but have the same idea.
When Princess Beimanji arrives, maybe she will be able to return the compensation that Beihan paid to Princess Ye!
Unlike Zhongyue and Nantai, Beihan has a pleasant climate and a suitable environment, and can grow a large number of crops every year. Beihan has to purchase food and grass from other countries every year. Fortunately, Beihan has many rare medicinal herbs and a group of miracle doctors, so Beihan's treasury can be considered rich.
No matter how rich they were, they couldn't afford to pay out five million taels of gold all at once! And these five million taels of gold were sent to the home of the Zhongyue God of War, whom they feared the most!
They want to take back the money that belongs to them!
Bei Liyi and others were thinking about how to get back the compensation, while Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu were already planning how to use the five million taels of gold.
The two of them stayed in the study early in the morning and wrote down in advance how to distribute the gold.
Of course, the gold is not only controlled by the Night Palace, they will also set aside a portion of the money for use specifically in people's livelihood and national construction.
After discussing the general idea, Ye Xiaohan picked up his pen and wrote down the plan.
Yun Mujiu glanced at him and praised him, "You are worthy of being Zhongyue's good prince. You are more capable than those officials who are just sitting there doing nothing."
Ye Xiaohan curved his lips and said, "I will find an opportunity to clean up corrupt officials in the court later."
The emperor has been in power for many years, and his officials have become more and more unscrupulous.
Throughout the ages, there has never been a dynasty whose officials were all clean. The issue of corruption has always existed, the only difference is the amount.
In the prosperous dynasties, the management of officials was very strict, and their words, deeds and styles of doing things were strictly restricted. Officials usually did some other things that were beneficial to themselves within the scope of their own duties, and as long as they didn't cause any major incidents, people would generally turn a blind eye.
However, as the Zhongyue Dynasty grew in power, some officials at court began to act without regard for this concern.
If we allow them to continue to act recklessly, the country will be in trouble!
The Night King was concerned about the people's livelihood and would not let the situation deteriorate. He watched everything in the court with a calm attitude and made plans in advance to clean up the officialdom and give Zhongyue a clean court.
Ye Xiaohan put the plan into an envelope and told a guard, "Give this letter to Wei Bai."
Wei Bai has his own courtyard in the Night Palace, and he also has his own large house outside the Night Palace. Most of the time, in order to handle business matters, Wei Bai stays in his own mansion, and comes to the Night Palace when there is something.
The same was true for Wei Song and Du Ziheng. They worked around Ye Xiaohan, and Ye Xiaohan never treated them unfairly. The mansions they lived in were all in the prosperous area near the Ye Palace, and each one was built to the specifications of a mansion enjoyed by a minister in the court.
Wei Bai was looking at the account book in the study of the Wei Mansion. Standing next to him was a woman in green with two buns on her head.
A servant knocked on the door and came in: "Master Wei, the prince sent you a letter."
Wei Bai immediately put down the account book in his hand, opened the envelope and took a look. The more he looked, the more his eyes widened.
"Wei Bai, what's wrong?" A calm female voice sounded.
"Fu Qian, take a look." Wei Bo handed over the letter in his hand. "This is the plan written by the prince, asking me to arrange various matters in advance. You see, although the order above is not clear, it also provides great guidance for what I will do next."
When the prince usually gives orders, he will not be very detailed, otherwise what is the point of having subordinates like them. He manages the money for the prince, and the prince always gives him guidance. If it weren't for the prince, he wouldn't have been able to earn so much money for the Night Palace for so many years.
Fu Qian looked at the letter obediently, thought for a moment, and said in approval: "The prince did write it very clearly, and he has determined the direction and approximate amount of future expenses for you in advance."
Wei Bo smiled gently, "Your Majesty is the best. This way, I have a clear direction for action."
Then he asked, "Fu Qian, have you encountered any business problems recently?"
Fu Qian pondered and expressed a few small doubts.
Wei Bai put the letter away and patiently explained everything to Fu Qian.
The servant who just reported the news widened his pupils. When had Young Master Wei been so patient and gentle to someone before? In the past, it wasn't that there hadn't been young ladies from various factions who tried to contact Young Master Wei. After all, Young Master Wei was the prince's capable subordinate, and many people wanted to get in touch with Young Master Wei. However, he had never seen Young Master Wei treat a young girl so well.
After helping Fu Qian solve her doubts, Wei Bo shared some tips on doing business.
Fu Qian agreed to all of them and praised Wei Bai for his ability and said he was a perfect businessman.
Wei Bai pursed his lips and smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
Fu Qian said, "Wei Bai, I won't come to see you anymore, so I asked a few more questions today, I hope I didn't bother you."
"Not coming?" Wei Bo stopped smiling: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Fu Qian smiled faintly and said, "Wei Bai, haven't you noticed? I have been learning business from you for a long time."
"Before, the prince and princess punished you to teach me how to do business and asked you to help me run the shop. Now it's been a month since the punishment period, how can I bother you again?"
Wei Bai was stunned, and only then did he notice the passage of time.
After thinking for a while, he smiled cheerfully: "What does it matter? You and I are both from the Ye Palace, no need to be polite. I am not teaching you just because the prince and princess ordered me to -
"I am also willing to teach you. If you have any questions or difficulties in the future, just come to me."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wei." Fu Qian showed gratitude on his face and looked at Wei Bai with sparkling eyes.
Wei Bai restrained his expression and shrugged: "Oh, it's rare that you call me Young Master?"
"Haha, I'm just being polite." Fu Qian laughed again and said directly, "Got it, Wei Bai."
Fu Qian bid farewell to Wei Bai and returned to Qichiyuan to see Yun Mujiu.
At this time, Yun Mujiu was thinking about developing a drug that could restore people's memory. She would give some to Doctor Wu and some to herself later.
Two men dressed as warriors returned to the Night Palace, and what they brought back to Ye Xiaohan was the delayed message from the East...
