It wasn't that he didn't want to lend, but the money he currently had at his disposal was only one hundred thousand taels.
The national treasury indeed had a lot of money.
But that was the money of the entire dynasty.
Military expenses, monthly salaries for officials at all levels, river repairs, disaster relief, etc., each expenditure was in units of hundreds of millions.
In addition, he recently wanted to build martial arts academies at all levels.
And there were also the ideas of intelligence organizations and invincible armies.
The money required was even more enormous.
Borrowing at this time could only be said that Xuan Xue had come at the wrong time.
However, Xuan Xue was, after all, his own younger sister, and Xuan Ming felt it wouldn't be appropriate not to lend her the money.
"Ah... one hundred thousand!" Xuan Xue's small mouth opened slightly, her expression frozen.
Her bright eyes stared intently at Xuan Ming's mouth.
She really couldn't understand how a mouth at thirty-odd degrees could utter such cold numbers...
Moreover, it was one million before... now it suddenly became one hundred thousand!
"Do you want it?" Xuan Ming asked.
His gaze fell on Xuan Xue's astonished expression, feeling a trace of curiosity.
You should know that as a member of the royal family, Xuan Xue shouldn't be short of money.
After all, whether it was resources or cultivation methods, the royal family had a treasure trove independent of the dynasty, which could be withdrawn at any time, as long as it was ensured that it was used by the royal family's own people.
Therefore, even if Xuan Xue was now cultivating to the Half-Saint realm, she didn't need to buy any cultivation resources outside herself.
The treasure trove could completely bear it, and it was more comprehensive than the outside world.
Also, the servants and guards in Xuan Xue's mansion were all allocated according to the standards of the royal family, and there was a prescribed monthly allowance issued to these people, without Xuan Xue's additional expenditure.
In addition, the royal family would also subsidize some daily necessities, such as chicken, duck, fish, meat, and delicacies from land and sea, in Xuan Xue's mansion every month.
Therefore, in fact, Xuan Xue couldn't possibly need so much money.
Not to mention one hundred million, even one hundred thousand taels was enough to eat, drink, and have fun in the imperial capital.
Even if she bought some luxury goods, it would at most be an extra overspend.
Obviously, Xuan Xue's strange behavior attracted Xuan Ming's attention.
"Forget it."
"Royal Sister has nothing else to do."
Xuan Xue pouted her mouth and shook her head slightly.
One hundred thousand taels, borrowing it back would not be enough to lose face.
You should know that she had just instructed the ice group leader under her command to wait for her to borrow money from her imperial brother, if she knew that she only borrowed back one hundred thousand... tsk tsk.
The middle-aged woman would not do anything on the surface, but she might laugh at her behind her back, which would be detrimental to her prestige.
Just as Xuan Xue shook her head.
On the other side, Demon Lord Lin Ning quietly found the Ministry of Revenue official who had previously informed the Lin family and asked him to report that Lin Ning wanted to meet the current Emperor.
The Ministry of Revenue official originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought that Lin Ning in front of him was the current Emperor's mother's family cousin, if the cousin was favored at some point in the future and accused him of not helping today, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Therefore, he couldn't make up his mind and informed the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Lin Fangyuan, about this matter.
"Ah, this..."
Li Yuanfang frowned tightly. Logically speaking, a commoner woman would naturally not be qualified to meet the Emperor, but the relationship between this commoner woman and the Emperor was too complicated.
You should know that the Emperor had already ordered people to bring the Lin family to the imperial capital, although the Emperor had not visited the Lin family during this period, which made Li Yuanfang unable to figure out the Emperor's intentions.
But he had the same thoughts as the Ministry of Revenue official, who knows what might happen.
What if this Lin Ning...
"It's better to report to His Majesty, and it's also a good opportunity to explore His Majesty's tone and see whether His Majesty favors this Lin family or not," Li Yuanfang thought secretly.
"If you really want to use money, according to the rules set by previous emperors, royal family members can additionally withdraw 10 million taels of silver every year, but this money is borne by the royal treasure trove."
"Moreover, this additional withdrawal does not belong to the annual allocation amount of the royal family members. Once you borrow, you must replace it in the next year, and there is an additional 10% interest."
Xuan Xue pouted her mouth and looked like she was about to cry, which made Xuan Ming feel a little unbearable.
"Royal Sister, go, Your Majesty will keep this money."
Xuan Xue pretended to wipe her tears and left.
Since she couldn't borrow money, she didn't need to continue to stay here.
"This..." Xuan Ming stretched out his hand, and finally frowned slightly.
"Could it be that there is really some unspeakable secret?"
"Sword Saint."
Xuan Ming looked at Xuan Xue's leaving figure and whispered to summon.
Soon, the Sword Saint's figure appeared beside Xuan Ming.
"During this period of time, observe my sister more during the day. If there is really any problem, report it to me in time," Xuan Ming instructed.
Xuan Xue seemed to really need money.
But when Xuan Ming asked her, she hesitated and didn't say anything, which made Xuan Ming very suspicious.
He secretly suspected whether she was threatened by someone.
But on second thought, he felt that it was not quite right.
Xuan Xue herself was a Half-Saint, and the Seventh Princess's mansion was in the heart of the imperial capital, and who in the world dared to threaten the royal family, but things were not absolute, he decided to let the Sword Saint take a look.
If there was really something reasonable, a place to use money.
Xuan Ming might as well lend it.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Sword Saint nodded.
"Sigh."
After the Sword Saint left, Xuan Ming shook his head slightly and sighed softly.
The next moment, his figure turned into starlight and reappeared in the Xuanhuang Hall.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue requests an audience."
Just after sitting for a while, the guard in front of the hall respectfully came in to report.
"Oh? Let him in." Xuan Ming was still thinking about Xuan Xue's matter, but the arrival of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue reminded him of the progress of the construction of the Martial Arts Academy, so he said.
The guard in front of the hall retreated, and soon Lin Fangyuan walked into the hall.
"Your Majesty, this humble minister came here today to report something. The Lin family that Your Majesty arranged in the Prince's mansion before, there is a young girl who claims to be Your Majesty's cousin who found this humble minister and wants to meet Your Majesty." Lin Fangyuan bowed and saluted, and a word made the expression on Xuan Ming's face freeze slightly.
Just after a close sister left, another cousin came?
This!
Chapter 57 If there is a chance, you can let Xuan Xue meet Lin Ning
Could it be that today I poked the old nest of sisters?
A trace of surprise quickly appeared on Xuan Ming's face.
"Lin family..."
Xuan Ming murmured slightly, secretly concentrating his eyes.
Since he sent someone to settle the Lin family in the mansion where he used to live, he has not visited them during this period.
I don't know how the Lin family is now.
"Although I have never had contact with the Lin family since I was a child, they are at least my birth mother's family. Not seeing each other is a royal rule. Now I am the Emperor of the Dynasty, and this rule can be broken at any time," Xuan Ming thought in his heart.
He looked at Lin Fangyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue below the hall.
"Let her come over," he waved his hand to signal.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Lin Fangyuan's eyes moved slightly and he respectfully retreated.
"It seems that His Majesty still has some thoughts about this Lin family."
"In this way, this minister should negotiate with this Lin family more."
Lin Fangyuan thought in his heart.
Although he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of the Dynasty, one of the three dukes.
But he knew in his heart that after the new emperor ascended the throne, many rules could not be the same as the previous emperor. If he could not please the new emperor, even if he was in a high position of power and involved a wide range, being knocked off the altar was only a word from the Emperor.
There were too many people in the world who wanted power. He didn't know how many people were staring at his position, and even more people wanted to replace him.
A little carelessness would be like a sailboat capsizing, and everything would be gone.
Therefore, Lin Fangyuan would not give up any opportunity to please His Majesty.
............
Xuan Xue walked out of the palace with a solemn expression.
She went all the way to the Seventh Princess's mansion.
Not being able to borrow money from Xuan Ming this time was beyond her expectation.
But she discovered a more important point.
That was Xuan Ming's cultivation!
She couldn't see through it!
This made her feel a little shocked. You should know that since she started practicing from the awakening of her memory, thanks to her previous life's memory, coupled with some special means, her current cultivation is in the middle stage of the Half-Saint. Even Xia Yutong, who has a talent that is rare in a thousand years, cannot practice faster than her.
Logically speaking, even if the Third Prince Xuan Ming ascended the throne, enjoyed the highest treatment of the royal family, and took endless resources at will, it was impossible for him to exceed her cultivation in a month.
Moreover, the strange fragrance on Xuan Ming's body even made her faintly fascinated.
