Chapter 1529 Marriage

After all, in all dynasties, the person who was most capable of crying about poverty was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and Lieutenant Lu thought that Wei Bugong was no exception...

Wei Bugong knelt down behind the desk, shook his head, and put his hands in his sleeves: "Money is not a problem. Soon Yinghui Jun and Bai Jiajun will escort the first batch of compensation from Dongyi Kingdom. In the short term, we will There is no shortage of money in Dazhou, but...Xiaoguan thinks that we, Dazhou, can take this opportunity to launch more Dazhou bonds to let the people know that Dazhou bonds are trustworthy."

After hearing what Wei Bugong said, Lieutenant Lu nodded: "That's true! The government bonds of the Great Zhou Dynasty are starting to rotate. If His Majesty makes any big moves in the future, the Ministry of Revenue will not be in trouble."

Bai Qingqi, who was sitting behind the desk, rubbed his fingers. After a while, he raised his head to look at Lieutenant Lu and Wei Bugong. He looked calm and spoke slowly: "Since His Majesty has gone to the Yan Kingdom, you can't go in vain! The people of the State of Yan in the Great Zhou City should know that because of the epidemic in the Great Zhou City of the State of Yan, their Majesties went to the Great Zhou City of the State of Yan and shared the joys and sorrows with the people of the Great Zhou who were far away in the State of Yan. In this way, their Majesties took over the Yan State. The hearts of the people of the country can also make the people of the Zhou Dynasty under the jurisdiction of the Yan country understand how good their emperor is!"

Wei Bugong felt that this plan was very clever, so he hurriedly said: "There is also the matter of the bonds of the Great Zhou Kingdom. We should also send people to the cities of the Yan Kingdom in the Great Zhou Dynasty to publicize it! It is best to let people run around... …And the businessmen who have benefited from the bonds of the Great Zhou Kingdom came to publicize it.”

"I will take care of this matter!" Bai Qingqi spoke calmly, with a calm look in his eyes, "The matters entrusted to you by Your Majesty must depend on Mr. Wei."

After coming out of the main hall, Wei Bugong took the gray cloak from the little eunuch's hand and put it on, rubbed his hands, and stood under the corridor of the magnificent double-eaves palace, looking up at the falling snowflakes that had covered the red walls and green walls. The palace of Wa was covered with a layer of white, and I felt heavy in my heart. Their emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was really too courageous. The epidemic in the Yan Kingdom was raging, and many people wanted to escape from the Yan Kingdom to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but their Majesty He actually went to Yan State.

He looked at the falling snow, and for some reason he felt that the future of this great week... was getting more and more promising.

Okay, your majesty is now putting himself in danger and entrusting him with the heavy responsibility as the minister of household affairs. He must try to satisfy all your majesty's orders no matter what, which is to deliver herbs, grain and silver to the great Zhou city of Yan State. , it’s not that difficult.

Just when Wei Bugong gathered together the silver, medicinal materials and food sent to the city of Zhou Dynasty in Yan State, thinking that at least it could last for a while and he could breathe a sigh of relief, Bai Qingyan's imperial order was sent back. .

Their majesty gave Qin Shangzhi permission to widen the river, and asked Wei Bugong to allocate money according to Qin Shangzhi's needs.

As soon as the court came, Wei Bugong anxiously stopped Bai Qingyu and Bai Qingqi: "King Zhen, King Protector, this humble minister has just raised money to send to the Great Zhou City of Yan State, and your Majesty wants the humble minister to raise this money again. The money for widening the river, this... the minister is in charge of the household department of the Zhou Dynasty, but it is not like he can create money out of thin air with just one hand!"

Bai Qingyu looked at the embarrassed look on Wei Bugong's face, glanced at his third brother, and said with a smile: "They say that the most capable person in the world is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. I have never believed it. I never expected that today Mr. Wei, please let me know what it means to be true."

Wei Bugong heard that Bai Qingyu was teasing him, so he simply spread his hands and said, "King Zhen...you...even if you are teasing me, I can't make any money out of it!"

"Master Wei, please don't fool us brothers here!" Bai Qingqi, who stood with his hands behind his back, still looked calm and solemn, but there was a thin smile in his eyes, "Your Majesty asked Yinghuijun and Cheng Yuanzhi, General Cheng, to lead the Bai family army to escort Dong The compensation paid by the Yi State was put into the national treasury, but Mr. Wei accepted it with a smile on his face, and the money sent to the Great Zhou City of the Yan State was all used in the bonds of the Great Zhou State."

Wei Bugong couldn't help but have a toothache: "But this is about to expire in January, and interest will be distributed to the people holding the national debt coupons. This also costs money. If it cannot be distributed, it will be a breach of trust by the people. From now on, the bonds of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be distributed." I'm afraid it won't be easy to implement! Besides... our treasury must not be empty. What if there is an urgent matter if it is empty? Protect the king, suppress the king... You two really don't know the difficulty of being the minister of the Ministry of household affairs! "

"Otherwise, how could we let Mr. Wei Bugong be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!" Bai Qingyu raised her hand and patted Wei Bugong on the shoulder, "Isn't the purpose of being a minister to share your Majesty's worries! His Majesty's imperial edict has been issued... Wei Bugong Sir, as the Minister of Household Affairs and an important minister of Zhou Dynasty, how can you have the nerve to only choose the easy things to do!"

Bai Qingqi was also amused by Bai Qingyu's words. She lowered her eyes to hide the smile, put her hands behind her hands and walked forward, saying to Bai Qingyu: "Let's go..."

"Master Wei... That's hard work!" Bai Qingyu said in a gentle tone.

"Suppress the king!" Wei Bugong knew what Bai Qingyu meant and insisted on letting him take over this burden. He chased after two steps and called out again, "Protect the king!"

But the two brothers from the Bai family walked side by side and showed no intention of turning around to answer him. Wei Bugong put his hands in his sleeves and looked at the sky speechlessly...

Wei Bugong was not good at pretending to be pitiful at first, but later he found out... that his emperor had given him an order to make money, as if he could turn it into money, so he asked Lu Jin for advice.

Lu Jin reminded him that the Minister of the Ministry of Finance... must learn to pretend to be pitiful and cry out to the emperor.

When Wei Bugong thought of his previous boss, this seemed to be the truth!

So in order to nip it in the bud, he practiced for a while at home in front of the bronze mirror that was showing off his clothes. Who would have thought that he hadn't practiced well yet... the money issue was once again on his head.

He thought about it and guessed that it was probably because he was not good at his studies and his appearance was not pitiable, so... the King of Zhen and the King of Protector did not take pity on him.

Come on... let's go back and practice again! Plan ahead for next time.

"Wei Shangshu..."

Wei Bugong was just thinking about Lu Jin when he saw Lu Jin coming out of the hall and walking towards him.

Wei Bugong quickly turned around and saluted Lu Jin: "Lv Shangshu!"

Lu Jin returned the gift and said with a smile: "But this method of crying about poverty doesn't work?"

"Hey..." Wei Bugong sighed, "Maybe I'm not good at studying. I'll study it a little more when I go back."

Lu Jin was amused by Wei Bugong and was thinking about what Taiwei Lu had entrusted. He wanted to go out of the palace with Wei Bugong to find out what was going on. He said with a smile: "Master Wei, please invite me. I heard that Master Wei has a daughter on his knees. No." Do you know if you are married?"

Wei Bugong was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Jin, and then looked around. When he saw that there was no one else around, he said, "Master Lu, you and I just need to speak directly if we have anything to say. You are so...it makes me panic."
