After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

The caring and sweet daughter Li Shiliu doesn't care about her father who is already as tired as a dead dog, but is more concerned about his work.

"Dad, how much silver is missing from the treasury now?"

When this was mentioned, Li Lianggong's pointed, monkey-faced, wrinkled face immediately sank, and he looked dejected.

“There’s so much missing.

It has only been three years since I climbed to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The people before me were all good-for-nothings, the treasury was empty, the accounts were a mess, and many dignitaries had borrowed a lot of silver from the national treasury. Some big families borrowed money from the national treasury every year but never paid it back.

It's a complete mess.

It took me several years to clean up the national treasury. Now the treasury is empty and I can't take out much money.

I asked someone to estimate that the Yellow River burst its dikes and flooded three provinces, leaving tens of thousands of people homeless. Whether it's settling the victims, clearing the silt and rebuilding after the floods recede, or preventing a major epidemic after the disaster, it's necessary to remove the evil spirits on a large scale to prevent large-scale casualties, and rebuild the dikes...

Each of these things requires a large amount of silver. The little money in the treasury right now cannot be said to be useless, but it is just a drop in the bucket. "

Li Lianggong reached out and touched his mustache out of habit. His face was filled with worry and he was getting anxious. It was really difficult for a good cook to cook without rice.

"Then how much money do we need for the most urgent resettlement of disaster victims?"

Li Shiliu was straightforward. Knowing that his daughter was busy with a charity fundraising auction recently, Li Lianggong finally felt a little relieved.

"The most urgent task now is to resettle the disaster victims, which will cost at least one million taels of silver.

The other post-disaster disposal work that will follow will cost no less than 200 million taels of silver. There is also post-disaster reconstruction and rebuilding of dams, which will all require money.

Oh, it’s difficult…”

Thinking of the victims who are still suffering, Li Lianggong sighed heavily.

"Don't worry, Dad. Let me find a way to raise at least one million taels of silver as soon as possible for emergency use, and I'll find other ways later.

I guess that the emperor has long been dissatisfied with those ministers and meritorious nobles in the court who cry poor every day and borrow money from the national treasury without paying it back. This time he will definitely find a way to get some money from them.

This is the only way to make money quickly.

But it is not so easy to take money out of the pockets of these old foxes, otherwise this historical problem would not have been dragged on for so many years without being solved.

Now is a good time to resolve the issue, and the emperor will not miss this good opportunity.

To kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, we must first kill a few chickens that are ignorant and have little impact on the overall situation in the court.

Father, why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken? It would be more appropriate to use this chicken knife of yours.

The monkey-like minister, who is the chief of the three evils in the court of the Da Chong Dynasty, cannot be called that in vain.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken, otherwise the money in the national treasury may not be recovered. "

Li Shiliu lowered her voice and gave a look to her father Li Lianggong.

Years of tacit understanding between father and daughter allowed Li Lianggong to quickly understand.

"Xiao Shishi, I read the memorial you asked me to give to the emperor yesterday. It seems that the emperor has really made up his mind this time.

I have to figure out how to pick out the fattest chicken from here, otherwise others won’t be scared, hehe…”

The accomplice father and daughter smiled at each other.
