Chapter 274 Counting Money
The four of them spent a full hour in the study room before they counted the silver bills that Jiang An had robbed.
At the moment of finishing the calculation, General Xie leaned against the old fox and raised his hand.
He reached out to the little girl, "My hands are all blistered!"
Jiang An pushed away the hand that was in the way, "Hey, stop bothering me!"
She frowned and held handfuls of silver in her arms.
There was a loud clattering sound, it was the sound of silver falling into the box...
Hu Yan held a pen in one hand and a scroll in the other, and today his brain, which was used to plan the troops, was fully used to keep accounts.
He wrote very quickly, and while writing down a long string of numbers, he also reminded: "Before we start repairing the official road, we need to take out some silver notes and exchange them for small change at the bank."
After all, they had to pay the recruits, and they couldn't just take out a silver note worth a hundred or a thousand taels at once.
Jiang Jichen also sat on the ground like them.
The girl sat on part of the man's robe, and on his knees was an abacus...
The prince moved the beads with his bony hands, "I will take care of this matter."
He had a bank under his name, so exchanging silver was just a matter of sending a message.
"Dad~"
Jiang An grabbed her father's outer robe with her black claws.
The crow-blue robe left a dirty mark...
She opened her bright round eyes, expectant and excited, "How much is it?"
The old father turned his head to look at her, grabbed her dirty hands, wrapped them with a handkerchief, his expression seemed helpless and indulgent.
"A total of two hundred thousand three thousand eight hundred and ninety-one taels and eight cents."
Hu Yan paused as he was writing down the amount, then looked up at the eight cents lying quietly in the middle.
He felt amused in his heart, thinking that this little ancestor was really taking advantage of others.
"An'an..."
The little girl was counting on her ten fingers and happily responded, "What's wrong?"
The old fox came closer to her, "I have a question..."
"Did you leave them money for dinner?"
She looked up, her eyes innocent, and answered without any guilt, "Oh, I forgot~"
Xie Yunshan straightened up his upper body, his eyebrows and eyes showing surprise, "You didn't leave any?"
"Ang~"
Jiang An was quite proud, and raised his chin, "There was an official who hid money in his shoes, and An An found it out!"
Her delicate little face is full of: I am awesome~
But Xie Yunshan, who had been counting the money the whole time, suddenly broke into pieces.
He looked at his hands, the little girl's words echoing in his ears...
In the shoes...
Hiding in a shoe?!
"I want to clean my hands!"
"Yun Yi, I need to wash my hands!"
Young General Xie stood up and rushed out of the door, his shouts echoing in the courtyard.
Jiang An was confused. He looked at the old fox and his old father who were laughing happily. "What happened to him?"
Jiang Jichen put down the abacus and picked up the dirty girl in silence.
"Guan Yan, fetch some water!"
Little girl: “Eh?”
She hung her hands and feet and was lifted by the neck, expressing her incomprehension.
The Ministry of Revenue allocated 500,000 yuan, and Jiang An extorted another 200,000 yuan from the second prince, Xie Chaoyan and a group of officials, leaving a gap of about 200,000 yuan.
Of the two hundred thousand silver taels, one hundred thousand was withdrawn from the account of the State Palace of Zhenguo.
The little girl ordered Zhengyan and Zhenglu to carry a big box, and they went up to the Zhaixing Tower in her courtyard together.
She took out 100,000 taels from her own small treasury...
It was also on this day that Guan Yan handed the news to the prince that Xie Yunshan was planning to sell the General's Mansion.
"Nonsense!" the prince shouted from behind the desk.
The official residence bestowed by the emperor can also be sold!
He put down his writing, waved away his inkstone, and said, "Bring the man back to me!"
At this moment, our young general Xie is in the post station.
He and the Second Prince Jiang Yizhou sat opposite each other, with a tea stove rising from it.
The fog blocked the eyes of the two people, and also blocked the faint mockery in Jiang Yizhou's eyes.
Xie Yunshan is trying his best to recommend his official residence to Jiang Yizhou...
"Yizhou, you are a prince, how can you live in an inn!"
"Look at this small yard. I can hit my nose even when I turn around!"
Jiang Yizhou looked around and said with a smile: "How can it be so exaggerated as Brother Yunshan said..."
In other words, he brought too many people with him, making the courtyard seem a bit crowded.
Xie Yunshan: "How about you live in my house?"
"Let me tell you, the General's Mansion has been uninhabited for some time, so it would be nice to clean it up!"
It's just that the house is a bit bare~
"Twenty thousand!"
"Only twenty thousand and it's yours!"
The second prince poured him a cup of tea, feeling somewhat helpless. Xie Yunshan had been hanging around in his courtyard for half a day regarding this matter.
"Brother Yunshan, that's an official residence..."
"Oh, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know~"
The courtyard door was opened, and Jiang Yizhou, who was facing the door, raised his eyes and smiled faintly.
He motioned Xie Yunshan to look back, "The person who knows is coming."
Guan Yan bowed to the Second Prince and said, "Second Prince, the prince ordered me to take the young general back to the palace. Sorry for bothering you."
Jiang Yizhou nodded, even looking somewhat relieved.
He drank his tea calmly, "Please help yourself, everyone."
The defenseless Xie Yunshan was lifted up by two bodyguards.
He smiled awkwardly and looked around, "Two brothers, there's no need to be so polite. I can go by myself."
Guan Yan replied sternly: "Young General is very good at martial arts. If he runs away, I won't be able to report to you."
Xie Yunshan's mouth twitched, and he silently withdrew one of his tentative feet, "You discovered this..."
General Xie was carried back to the palace and sent directly to the study.
He stood in the room, feeling a little awkward, "I just wanted to make some money."
The little girl loved money the most, and she took out so much silver from her little treasury.
Of the 100,000 taels, how much was earned from her own shop?
He also wanted to help...
Jiang Jichen's face darkened, and he tapped the table with his knuckles. "If you want to help, go sell the government residence?!"
"Why didn't I know you were so brave before?"
"The generals under my command are selling their official residences. If you don't know, you might think I'm going to lead my army in rebellion!"
Xie Yunshan was scolded, lowered his head and said nothing, muttering quietly in his heart: "This is not the first day you have known me..."
Besides, isn’t the little girl shouting that she wants to rebel every day?
If you abandon your clan members and start a rebellion, it is not impossible~
Seeing him like this, Jiang Jichen felt as if he saw a little girl who had come back from trouble...
Jiang An was the same. No matter what he said, he just stuck his neck out and looked unconvinced!
He rubbed his forehead and said, "Go to Hu Yan's yard and find him."
After saying this, he quickly asked the person to get out.
Out of sight, out of mind. It's enough for him to be the little girl's father, and he doesn't want to have another grown-up son like this!
"Oh…"
Just as Xie Yunshan was about to step out of the study, he heard the prince's voice from behind him.
He turned around and saw several books rushing towards his door.
Xie Yunshan acted quickly, and in the blink of an eye he had four military regulations booklets in his mouth... in his hands... and tucked them under his armpits...
When he saw the big words "Military Regulations", his face wrinkled into a bitter gourd.
"Hmm... Hmm..." (Prince, why did you bring this unlucky thing back to the mansion!)
Jiang Jichen: "Go to Hu Yan's yard and copy it!"
Xie Yunshan: "I understand, Your Majesty."
If he does something wrong, he will be punished by copying the military regulations. He is not a child who is in school...
Hearing his lazy tone, Jiang Jichen, who was working at his desk, didn't even raise his head and said leisurely, "Yun Yi copies one word for you, so you just copy it once more."
"After copying, send it to the military camp and post it on the training ground."
Xie Yunshan:!
He had a sad face and pried at the door, "No, Your Majesty!"
What a shame! !
Jiang Jichen pointed the pen in his direction and said, "Howl again, copy it again!"
General Xie immediately shut up and ran away very fast.
