I Made a Fortune by Marrying a Sick Girl! - Chapter 301

Chapter 301 Yuan Shangshu’s Difficulties

Emperor Mingcheng turned to Qin Chi and asked, “Qin Qi’an donated the gold I rewarded, tell me what’s going on?”

“this…”

Qin Chi stood up and stood next to Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, taking a half step back and said, “Your Majesty, this is my wife’s wish.”

Emperor Mingcheng was surprised: “It wasn’t your idea?”

“It’s really not the case. Wei Chen has no merit at all, but he has received a large sum of gold from His Majesty. My wife asked me if I felt sorry… To be honest, Wei Chen really deserves it.”

Qin Chi stood up and bowed to Emperor Mingcheng, and said with sincerity, “My wife is just a woman, not involved in court matters, she makes decisions and donates in the name of your majesty and all the masters in the palace. I beg your majesty to forgive her transgression.” “

“This is a good deed, what’s the crime?”

Emperor Mingcheng read the list again with great interest, and he could tell a few things from the list alone, “Your wife has a heart of seven ingenious things. Xia Aiqing, don’t you think so?”

“Ms. Qin cares about the people affected by the disaster in Taihu Lake, and she knows how to repay her kindness without seeking fame or fortune. She is truly a strange woman.” Xia Wei responded sincerely.

She obviously donated all the rewards she received, but she kept a share from each person’s reward. She regarded it as accepting other people’s wishes, and everyone else couldn’t fault her.

Actually, Xia Wei didn’t say anything.

Song Jin’s move helped him a lot this time. Originally, he was worrying about preparing money and materials for disaster relief.

Now the matter seems to be solved!

Your Majesty has donated, how dare others not donate?

Qin Chi hurriedly said a few words of modesty.

But he deliberately mentioned Song Jin today just to make a good impression on her in front of Emperor Ming Cheng.

Things will be easier in the future.

Soon, Qin Chi saw what it means for an old minister to praise others’ skills.

Xia Wei chatted with Emperor Mingcheng about the flood in Taihu Lake, mentioned the people affected by the disaster, and then praised Emperor Mingcheng’s donation without any trace, which was a blessing to the people of Taihu Lake and would be loved by all people, etc.

The compliment was said with sincerity.

If Qin Chi hadn’t understood it, he would have almost believed it.

He felt that he had learned something.

Emperor Mingcheng had a look on his face.

But it could be seen from his brows that he was in a good mood, and he even called the eunuchs to tell them to pay attention to the activities in the household department. Not long after, a young **** hurriedly came to report that Ning Guogong and his family had donated 800 taels and 50 shi of grain to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

“This old guy is quite sensible.”

Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty liked Ning Guogong’s knowledge and interest. No matter what he wanted to do, Ning Guogong was always the first to jump out and support him. Therefore, Emperor Ming Cheng, who was in a good mood, stayed with Xia Wei and Qin Chi to have lunch together.

Only half a day.

No matter what their intentions, every family in the capital came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to donate money, food, clothing, etc. The Ministry of Household Affairs publicized the matter in the city, saying that the donated food and clothing were not old or new, as long as they were edible and usable.

Donations are all the rage these days.

The wealthier people in the city also donated old clothes that they no longer wore.

Wait for the two of them to leave the palace.

Xia Wei went back to the Ministry of Finance.

Qin Chi transferred to the Hanlin Academy, talked to Yan Xianqing in private, and then returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. The colleagues I met along the way were very enthusiastic about Qin Chi.

“Master Qin, what a coincidence. Have you had lunch?”

“Master Qin, look at your glowing face, I guess something happy is coming.”

“Master Qin is favored by His Majesty. He will definitely have a bright future in the future. Don’t forget us even if you are rich or noble.” The man patted Qin Chi on the shoulder, his eyes filled with envy and sourness.

In the past, when these people learned that Qin Chi had offended Yuan Shangshu, they avoided Qin Chi because they had to deal with work matters and had a business-like attitude. Qin Chi thought about the reasons for everyone’s change.

First, it may be a donation from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Secondly, it may be because he stayed with Emperor Ming Cheng for half a day and had another royal meal.

In the eyes of these people, he, Qin Chi, had caught the eye of Emperor Ming Cheng and was a minister whom Emperor Ming Cheng valued. In other words, these people saw value in him.

Qin Chi coped with this easily.

He has already taken care of Yu Hengsi’s matter.

The old items in the inventory were sorted out, and Qin Ba and others had already taken them away and converted them into silver and put them in the account. The neatness of the items made the other three departments jealous.

He compiled the matter into a book and handed it to Wang Shilang.

Wang Shilang checked that there was no problem, and then sent it to Yuan Shangshu for review.

Yuan Shangshu said to Wang Shilang: “Ask Yu Hengsi to produce 200,000 pieces of military cotton clothes before winter. They are sent to the northwest. Let Qin Langzhong seize the time.”

Wang Shilang wanted to say it.

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

Now that it has entered autumn, people are asked to rush for military cotton clothes. According to the speed at which Yu Hengsi used to do things, it will not be completed at all. What’s more, the cotton stock in stock is far from enough.

Qin Chi received the task, accepted the official document, and asked: “Master Wang, there is not enough money in the accounts of Yu Heng Division.”

“How much money is needed? You make an order and we go to the Ministry of Accounts to apply.”

“That’s quite embarrassing.” Qin Chi’s words were very brief.

Wang Shilang also understood.

Now everyone is short of money, especially when Emperor Ming Cheng ordered to clear up bad debts. When it comes to the bad accounts department, there are no shortage of them. In addition, Taihu Lake is flooded every year, and this year is no exception. It has long been a well-known fact that the Ministry of Household Affairs is short of money.

The money in the treasury was often misappropriated by Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty, so there was no hope at all.

Qin Chi said with a look of helplessness: “It’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without money, I can’t do anything here.”

“Go to contact someone first?”

Wang Shilang knew that Yuan Shangshu was deliberately making things difficult, or he was acting as an accomplice, “I mean to ask someone to open credit with the merchant first, and then fill it in as soon as the money comes in.”

Qin Chi did not agree, but just said: “I will let people use the existing cotton and cloth in the warehouse first. As for the subsequent issues, it will depend on when the money comes.”

“Okay, you go ahead.”

Wang Shilang couldn’t bear to see Qin Chi.

This task is almost impossible to accomplish.

Not to mention the time crunch, just going to the Ministry of Accounts to apply for money is not that easy.

It’s strange that people from Xavier would criticize it.

Qin Chi made a list of the 200,000 yuan needed for cotton-padded clothes in previous years, and also marked the price that might be affected by the Taihu disaster. Wang Shilang took the list and left in a perfunctory manner.

Qin Chi suddenly stopped Wang Shilang, “Master Wang, this is not right. Winter is approaching. Are the cotton clothes really sent to the northwest? If they are to be sent to the northwest, they should be rushed to be completed in the first half of the year.”

Make it according to this time.

By the time this batch of cotton-padded clothes was completed and sent to the northwest, it was already over the New Year.

The corner of Wang Shilang’s mouth twitched, “I’ll inform you as Master Shangshu ordered. The supplies sent to the northwest had already set off earlier, but Master Shangshu said there was still a shortage of two hundred thousand, which needed to be made up before the end of the year. He had previously The reason for the grounding has delayed this matter. Okay, just do as you please.”

Qin Chi knew as soon as he heard that it was a problem thrown by Yuan Shangshu.

Wang Shilang left not long ago.

People turned back again.
