The next day.

The entire imperial city was filled with the excited voices of the people.

There is no other reason.

Silver or jewelry was placed at the door of every household.

"God bless our Qian Dynasty. My family has money now."

"Wow, this hairpin is really valuable. I finally got back the silver that was stolen from me yesterday."

"Mother, we are saved..."

For a moment, all the people in the imperial city knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the heaven to express their gratitude.

The Anguo Mansion is in a bustle at this moment.

There was a flood yesterday and An Qingyao was rescued, but she kept shouting that there was a ghost.

Duke Anguo went to the palace early in the morning.

Duke Anguo knelt on the ground crying:

"Your Majesty, please help me. The thief has sneaked into my house."

"My study and storeroom were looted."

"Even my little girl was almost burned to death last night."

The emperor's temples throbbed and he pinched his brows, "Duke Anguo, could it be that your pants were also stolen?"

The emperor looked at these old ministers and found that none of them were honest. They had many wives and concubines at home, but they liked to go out and eat things that they couldn't get outside.

"No, Your Majesty, my pants are all there, and my clothes were not stolen. It was only the storeroom and study that were robbed."

"Your Majesty, please make the decision. I have put half my life's work into this. It is the livelihood of my whole family."

Duke Anguo was crying.

He never imagined that while he was mocking Minister Fang, he himself would be robbed.

"Duke Anguo, I cannot make the decision on this matter."

You must be kidding. He doesn’t even dare to interfere in Minister Fang’s affairs, let alone the Duke of Protectorate’s.

Not everyone can afford to offend the Black Flame Hall. It has never had any grudges against the royal family, so how can one offend them?

If the national treasury was robbed, the late emperor would probably crawl out of the imperial mausoleum to settle the score with him!

"Your Majesty!" Duke Anguo was deeply distressed upon hearing this. He regretted how he had tried to stop the emperor from interfering in Minister Fang's affairs.

"Besides, Lord Anguo, this is what you said. This big thief is not something that everyone can afford to offend. The royal family has been peaceful for a hundred years. How can they damage their reputation for a hundred years just for the family affairs of an official?"

"Your Majesty, I was wrong." How could Duke Anguo know that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.

If he knew, how could he say that!

"Okay, you should go back and interrogate them carefully to see if anyone in the family has offended that gang."

It was the prince who told him about this.

The Black Flame Hall is so powerful that everyone in the five countries is afraid of it!

He doesn't want to be the one charging forward.

"Your Majesty, this humble official..."

"Okay, let's go out."

Duke Anguo wanted to slap himself. He stood up tremblingly and staggered out of the imperial study.

The emperor raised his neck, watched the man leave, and immediately spoke:

"Eunuch Li, come in!"

"Hey, Your Majesty, I'm here!"

"Follow me to the treasury."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

He had to go and check it out quickly. Even the cunning Duke Anguo could not escape the fate of being robbed. How could he just sit there and do that?

He walked with haste.

Eunuch Li and his entourage then carried the imperial sedan to the national treasury.

The moment the huge group of imperial guards saw the emperor, they all knelt down and said, "Greetings to the emperor."

The emperor waved his hand.

He Weichi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here at the treasury today?"

"I came to see the treasury."

He Weichi thought something had happened in the court, so he hurriedly followed the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor's heart was beating very fast and his hands holding the key were shaking.

The moment the treasury door was pushed open, his eyes widened and he stepped back in fear!

He Weichi had never seen anyone inside, they were all responsible for security.

Seeing the emperor's expression, he was so scared that he knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, spare my life. We have been guarding the vehicle every day and have never seen anyone go in!"

"Eunuch Li... hurry up, follow me in and take a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Eunuch Li vaguely felt that the national treasury seemed to be much fuller.

The emperor's eyebrows twitched when he looked at the glittering silver.

He picked up the account book next to him and turned to the last page. His eyes changed from shock to surprise.

He rubbed his eyes, and rubbed them again, looking incredulous.

“Hahahahahaha, hahahaha….”

The sound of the emperor's laughter came from inside the house, startling the royal guards outside.

Afterwards, the emperor called Eunuch Li and others out, and he began to make calculations alone in the treasury.

There is so much more gold and silver in the national treasury. It must be the work of our ancestors.

Huh?

Why is there such a strange box?

He reached out and opened it, found a stack of papers inside, and picked up one at random.

"When you give someone a rose, the fragrance will remain on your hand. Your Majesty will surely like this gift for generations to come!!!"

Three exclamation marks were added at the end!

He quickly turned the page to the back of the paper.

The smile froze and slowly turned into a dark face.

The people outside the door were just beginning to feel relieved that the emperor was not furious, and their brows slowly relaxed.

Before I could recover from the shock, I was startled to see the emperor looking angry, with a box in his hand.

As expected, serving a king is like serving a tiger, he may turn against you at any time!

"emperor..."

"Go back to the palace!" the emperor was angry.

Eunuch Li glanced at the others and wiped his forehead.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Fang Shiwan was admiring her new shop.

The long-awaited shop has finally been realized.

Fang Shiwan went out early that day and took Ziyun with him.

Shan Jingxian has sent people to notify us several times, and all the manpower and supplies have been purchased.

Fang Shiwan looked at the beautifully decorated shop and was very satisfied.

"Boss, everyone is here."

"The person who prepared the tea is my husband's sister. She has been making tea for some wealthy families in the countryside over the years. This time I explained the situation to her, and she brought her husband here."

Fang Shiwan looked at the woman next to Shan Jingxian. The woman was younger than Shan Jingxian and seemed to have been married not long ago.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Song Miaoyun."

Fang Shiwan nodded, "Since your sister-in-law trusts you, I trust you too."

"Yes, boss."

"The name of the shop is Tea Party."

"Shan Chengming, from today on, you will be responsible for the purchase of the shop. Sister Xian will be the shopkeeper. Everyone else will obey the shopkeeper's orders. Do you understand?"

"Yes, boss."

Under the veil, Fang Shiwan was very satisfied.

Ever since Fang Zhiya bribed her maid, she realized that she should treat servants like a master. Otherwise, everything would be messed up and anyone could bully her.

"You are the first batch of waiters. I will not treat you unfairly in terms of monthly salary." Fang Shiwan looked at the group of people who lowered their heads and smiled: "Your monthly salary is ten taels of silver."

After hearing this, several people raised their heads suddenly, their eyes widened: "Ten taels of silver?"

"Oh my god, that's a lot more than I used to have."

"Yeah yeah."

Several people looked at each other with a hint of surprise.

"On this basis, if the monthly profit exceeds 10% on top of the target, each of you will get a 5 cent increase. If it exceeds 20%, each of you will get a 10 cent increase. Do you have any objections?"

The waiters, who were originally secretly delighted, couldn't believe it after hearing it. Wasn't this free money?

"Of course, the money is not earned for nothing. If you don't do well, I will make you leave in disgrace. Every month, the shop will select an outstanding employee and reward him with an extra 20 taels of silver."

"Wow."

"If you are rated as an outstanding employee twelve times in total, you will receive a bonus at the end of the following year. The calculation will be based on the profit of the shop at that time."

Everyone was stunned. They had never seen such a high pay for being a waiter.

After a while

"Clap clap clap."

"Clap clap clap."

There was a round of applause.

"Don't worry, boss. We will do our best."

"Yes, our boss told us to go east, and we will never go west."

Shan Jingxian had spent a lot of effort to find these people. Some of them had worked in other shops before and were marginalized, while others were hired through connections.

Seeing their confidence, Fang Shiwan said, "Following me, I can't guarantee that you will become rich, but you will have no problem with daily food and clothing. I only trust you once, do you understand?"

"understand!"
