I rely on gossip to save the country
Chapter 51 The Prime Minister Still Raises Pigs
"Prime Minister, please give me the money quickly. I don't have time to waste here. After taking the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion, I have to go to the next one." Xie Chuyue urged.
Duan Yi: ...
"This... Your Highness, I won't bother you to come and get it in person. I will hand it over later."
Xie Chuyue raised her eyebrows. "Oh? Really? That's not necessary. What if you, Prime Minister, use a few dozen taels of silver to fool them? After all, you are the Prime Minister of a country. It would be unreasonable if you don't take out a hundred taels of silver. Prime Minister, please take out the silver so that I can go back and report to my father."
Jiang Shuying was stunned when she saw all this. This little princess was so arrogant! She was blackmailing so blatantly! How dare she do that!
Duan Yi's face was gloomy. He had already cursed Xie Chuyue countless times in his heart. He was so angry at Xie Chuyue that he was shaking all over. "Your Highness, I have been in the court for decades, but I am not that kind of person."
Hearing this, Xie Chuyue frowned tightly and complained to the system, "Er Gouzi, by the way, is this prime minister really so stingy that he is unwilling to pay?"
Duan Xiya looked at her father. Her father shouldn't be so stingy.
Jiang Shuying also looked at Prime Minister Duan.
System: [If he doesn't want to take the silver, you can sell the pigs he raises in his backyard. It will be the same if you exchange it for silver.]
Xie Chuyue: [Okay, okay, he actually raises pigs. If he really doesn’t give it to me, then I will sell his pigs.]
Prime Minister: ... ... You are my living ancestor,
If you hadn't come, I really wouldn't have been able to think of it.
Originally, he was planning to donate a little less, since no one would know anyway. But this guy didn't play by the rules and actually went door to door. If you give less, it will definitely not work. After thinking about this, Duan Yi gritted his teeth and asked someone to get a hundred taels.
Xie Chuyue looked at the silver in her hand, her facial expression froze, "Ah - that's all, Prime Minister, are you sending away beggars?"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Duan Yi's hands were shaking. This was his private money, and this little troublemaker was actually not satisfied. "Your Highness, I will give you 100 taels of silver to help the people and build houses."
Xie Chuyue: [As expected, as expected, they are all stingy and unwilling to spend a penny. Er Gouzi, if we confiscate the Prime Minister's Mansion, the national treasury will surely be filled up a lot, right? ]
Prime Minister: If you don't pay the money, your property will be confiscated. Who made this rule? You are my living father, is that okay?
Jiang Shuying, Duan Xiyan: ………Do you want to confiscate our homes at every turn?
"My Lord Prime Minister, I, a little girl, have contributed 100 taels, but you, a senior official in the court, have only contributed 100 taels. Isn't that unreasonable? You should at least contribute 500 taels.
Moreover, the Prime Minister has the money to give hundreds or even thousands of taels to his son to gamble in the gambling house, but he has no money to help the people, right?"
Xie Chuyue's words left the prime minister speechless. His son did burn silver, and in the end, someone took away five hundred taels of silver.
The Prime Minister felt a pang of pain as he held the five hundred taels of silver in his hand. Damn it! His private savings were gone. The five hundred taels of silver he had saved without telling his wife were gone just like that.
When Xie Chuyue saw it, she immediately reached out to grab it, "Here you go!"
Everyone: How rude!!!
Looking at the silver in hand, Xie Chuyue was extremely satisfied, "The Prime Minister is really a loyal minister. This princess will definitely tell my father about the Prime Minister's love for the people."
"Thank you very much, little princess. Take care." The prime minister appeared to be seeing Xie Chuyue off respectfully, but in fact he had already started cursing her in his heart.
Get out of here! Who wants you to say something nice? Damn your love for the people! You can't even support yourself, how can you still love the people?
After Xie Chuyue and Jiang Shuying left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Shuying looked at Xie Chuyue with a perverted smile, rubbed the goose bumps on her arms, and said, "Xie Chuyue, don't smile like that, it makes me feel creepy. What on earth are you going to do?"
"Hehehe, let me take you to see something good, come on!" After Xie Chuyue said that, she pulled Jiang Shuying and they climbed over the eaves and walls and came to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When the two saw a large pen of pigs grazing in a yard, they looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes.
The Prime Minister actually feeds pigs???
"Prime Minister Duan actually raises so many pigs. What is he doing?" Jiang Shuying asked Xie Chuyue while looking at the pigs below.
"Who knows? Come on, come on. I'm just curious and want to show you around." After saying that, Xie Chuyue left first.
As the amount of silver increased, Xie Chuyue could no longer hold it, so she went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, which was closest to the Prime Minister's Mansion. She wanted to find her grandfather and uncle and ask them to help transport the silver back to the palace.
Xie Chuyue brought Jiang Shuying and swaggered to the gate of Grand Tutor Su's residence. Jiang Shuying was thin-skinned and couldn't save face.
Xie Chuyue was such a jerk that she even jerk-ed her own uncle's family, so she spoke decisively.
"Xie Chuyue, I suddenly realized that I still have some things to deal with today. I will ask you to ride a horse another day. I have to go back to the general's mansion first."
Xie Chuyue thought Jiang Shuying was unwilling to go with her, so she advised, "Don't go. I'll give you some of the money when the time comes."
She has decided to take Jiang Shuying to various houses to watch the shows.
Jiang Shuying shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, no, no, I really have something to do."
"Really?" Xie Chuyue was still a little unconvinced.
Jiang Shuying acted very serious on the surface, "Really? It's more real than real gold and silver. Besides, when have I ever lied to you?"
Xie Chuyue: It seems so!
"All right, then. Let's ride together some other day." The two of them parted ways.
After running back to the General's Mansion, Jiang Shuying looked at her father's puzzled eyes and explained, "Dad, I don't think I'm as crazy as the little princess, so I found an excuse to run back."
The great general nodded seriously, "Ying'er, well done!"
After Jiang Shuying left, the system said quietly, "Host, is there a possibility? Jiang Shuying is not as shameless as you, so she found an excuse to run away???"
Xie Chuyue: [What do you mean? Er Gouzi, you scold me, you dare to call me thick-skinned, what does thick-skinned mean? If I don't go to each family, those stingy people won't pay, okay? I am helping my father to solve his problems. They take the salary from the court, but they are unwilling to give a penny to help the people, how wicked. ]
System: Even if I am immoral, I am not as immoral as you.
[The host is right! ]
Hearing the system agree, Xie Chuyue became even more arrogant, "Besides, I am receiving a salary from my master and helping him solve his problems. What's wrong with that? Since you can't come up with a good plan, then just pay me. If I don't pay or work hard, what's the point of being an official? And Jiang Shuying won't lie to me. This girl won't lie. I believe her. I didn't do anything. Why do you think she's so shameless?"
The two of them were chatting when they arrived at the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion. When the servant saw them, he quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
Just as Xie Chuyue was about to ask them to stand up, she saw Grand Tutor Su, Old Madam Su and others coming to the door to greet her.
Xie Chuyue: [When did I become so popular? ]
When the people in the Grand Tutor's Mansion saw Xie Chuyue, they all bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Princess!"
This scared Xie Chuyue, and she quickly went over to support the two elders.
