Chapter 89

Zhao Feikun looked at Shangguan Xiong with a look of despair on his face. Shangguan Xiong glared at Zhao Feikun fiercely. Zhao Feikun hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at Shangguan Xiong.

At this moment, Shangguan Xiong looked at Qin Yu with eyes full of murderous intent!

The Zhao family made more than ten times the profit from doing business with the court, but nine times of it was embezzled by him and court officials, and he took the lion's share.

By doing this, Qin Yu was directly cutting the interests of the officials in the court in half!

He, as the prime minister, suffered the greatest loss!

This ungrateful person is simply courting death!

"Your Highness, as the crown prince of a country, naturally doesn't understand the ins and outs of doing business. Even officials like me don't understand the complexity and tediousness of it!"

"Besides, business is all about profit. The more money you make, the better. However, the Zhao family is truly audacious for reaping so much money from the imperial court!"

"Your Majesty, please punish the Zhao family severely and order them to return all the huge profits they have made over the years. Never allow such a thing to happen again!"

Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice that he wanted to use silver to resolve the matter.

However, Qin Yu will not let Shangguan Xiong go easily. He must make Shangguan Xiong pay today!

"Haha! What the Prime Minister said does make some sense. Although this prince doesn't understand business, he does understand one thing: there are many blacksmiths in this world, and there are also many noble families. So, why does the court only cooperate with the Zhao family, a noble family?"

"If every business deal in the imperial court could be open to bidding, with all the noble families able to participate, and whoever offered the lowest price would be awarded the job, would such exorbitant prices still occur?"

"Minister of Revenue, you should be the most qualified person to speak on this matter. Please come forward and explain why all the court's business is being handed over to the Zhao family."

Qin Yu said with a sneer.

The reason why the Zhao family can monopolize the court's business is definitely because of Shangguan Xiong, but if they keep an eye on Shangguan Xiong, Shangguan Xiong's shrewdness will definitely find a way to resolve it.

However, as long as they target Shangguan Xiong's confidants and force Shangguan Xiong to cut off his arm to protect himself, he will lose the support of the people, which will make Shangguan Xiong feel worse than eating shit.

"This... the Ministry of Revenue is only responsible for disbursing the money. For other matters, you still have to ask Minister Duan and the Prime Minister!"

Minister of Revenue Li Wei's face was as gloomy as water. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke directly.

As the Minister of Revenue, he has made a lot of money over the years, but he is the one who does the work!

It can be said that he earns his money through hard work, while others earn their money by asking him for it!

You still want him to take the blame at this time?

Grandma!

Is it a shame to treat him, the Minister of Revenue, as a fool?

So, Li Wei directly passed the blame to others!

"Minister Duan, what do you say?"

Qin Yu looked at Duan Meng and asked in a deep voice.

"Well... the Ministry of War is only responsible for supplying iron ore and placing orders for armaments. As for everything else, the Prime Minister will ultimately make the final decision!"

Duan Meng said in a deep voice.

Li Wei has already passed the blame on others. If he, the Minister of War, takes the blame, what's the difference between him and an idiot?

Therefore, it must be thrown out!
