The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

This was not the first time that Mo Xiao and his son heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was crying about poverty. Every time they asked him for money or food, he would do it to death.

Mo Xiao was so angry that his teeth itched, he slapped his hand on the table, and said angrily: "The country has never had wars or natural disasters in these years, and taxes have been collected on time every year. After all these years, you are telling me that you have no money? Where did the money go? Was it eaten by you? "

When the Minister of the Ministry of Finance heard this, he immediately burst into tears: "Your Majesty, my wish is that I have worked hard for so many years, how can I dare to be negligent? Even a grain of rice or a penny from the Ministry of Finance, I don't dare to swallow!"

"In these years, although there have been no wars or natural disasters, taxes have been collected every year, and there is still a lot to spend. The imperial court has hundreds of officials, and there are salary rewards every year. There are so many people in the palace, don't they all have to spend money? In the hands of the humble ministers Holding this money, I want to break it in half and spend it. Even so, I can barely maintain it like this. If your Majesty asks me for money again, I really can’t come up with it!”

Mo Xiao raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, and said word by word: "After all these years, you don't have any balance at all?"

The Minister of Household Affairs was particularly upset: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send people to check the minister's house. If there is any problem at all, the humble minister is willing to put his neck to death."

This is a serious matter. You are cheating on the emperor.

How could the emperor search a minister's home for no reason? Didn't this cause panic and instability among the people in the court?

At this time, Mo Chengning, who had been silent next to him, opened his mouth and called out lightly: "Mr. Lin."

The Minister of Household Affairs immediately turned his head towards Mo Chengning and responded respectfully: "Yes, Wei Chen is here."

Mo Chengning stood up, put an account book in his hand into the hand of the Minister of Revenue, and said politely: "Master Lin has been in charge of the Department of Revenue for many years, and you have worked hard. However, human energy is always limited, and it is impossible to cover everything. , some negligence is normal.”

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance's heart skipped a beat. He glanced at the account book in his hand and then looked up at Mo Chengning: "Your Highness, is there something wrong with this account book?"

Mo Chengning smiled, opened the places he had marked, and pointed them out to the Minister of Revenue one by one: "Here, here, and here are all wrong."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance immediately looked through it, and when he saw it, his face suddenly darkened.

Mo Chengning took a step back and smiled at the Minister of Revenue: "Master Lin, there is no need to be anxious. I guess the person doing the accounting under you was negligent."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue closed the account books in his hand, raised his eyes to look at Mo Chengning, and said solemnly: "There is indeed a problem with this account. It was my lax control of my subordinates that led them to make such a serious mistake. After returning, Chen Ding will personally preside over the reconstruction of the account books, and I will definitely satisfy you, Your Highness."

Mo Chengning smiled: "I just said casually that I don't understand the affairs of the government. Mr. Lin has been in government for many years, so he naturally knows what is best."

After Mo Chengning finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his desk, and then read the book without any distractions, as if nothing had happened just now.

The Minister of Hubu was stunned for a moment, and turned back to look at the ink flute on it: "Your Majesty, look at this..."

Mo Xiao stared at him for a while, and then said slowly: "Since there can be errors in this account book, it means that the Account Department's fault is not just this little bit... Mr. Lin might as well check it carefully after he goes back. Maybe this account Can you really spare some money?"
