I want to ruin the country

Yining asked Wenqing,

"How much jewels and money have we collected in this period of time!"

Wenqing opened his mouth and talked about everything like the back of his hand.

“Since the bandit suppression campaign, we have seized over 1.5 million dan of grain.

More than 159,641,000 ounces of gold and silver.

There are countless other jewels and antiques, all of which have been registered!"

Yining nodded.

"Is that all?"

Man Hing Road,

"Not all of it. This is just the proceeds from suppressing the bandits, as well as the money and grain confiscated from 34 temples, monasteries, and nunneries by the Iraqi defense forces.

A total of 750,000 dan of grain, more than 78,543,100 taels of gold and silver, and a large number of antiques and collectibles!"

Yining laughed,

"You remember it clearly!"

Wen Qing chuckled.

"Your Majesty, first of all, this is my duty. Secondly, I feel refreshed just by flipping through the account book. That's why I read it dozens of times every day!"

Yining pointed at him.

"You old money addict!"

Wenqing said,

"I've calculated that since the founding of our Daqing Kingdom, except for the time when Heshen's house was confiscated, no one in charge of the Imperial Household Department has ever been richer than me!"

Yining Road,

"Yes, I spent so much effort to get this money.

But the amount of money Heshen embezzled alone reached 900 million taels of silver, which shows how huge the harm of corruption is! "

Wenqing laughed and said,

"Your Majesty, you have exploited all these corrupt officials, bandits, bald nuns, and wealthy landlords. You are keeping the mice for the cats, haha!"

Yining looked at his frivolous appearance and really wanted to go over and hit him a few times with the sole of his shoe.

He deliberately frowned.

"How dare you call me a cat!"

Wen Qing knew he had spoken out of turn and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"I will die, my slave!"

Yining wanted to scare him and said,

"Wenqing is disrespecting the Emperor. Take him out..."

Wenqing was terrified. Isn't it true that serving a king is like serving a tiger?

Just now it was peaceful and calm, but now it is stormy. Why are they dragging him out? Are they going to behead him? He said hurriedly,

"Your Majesty, please don't kill me. I didn't mean to do it!"

Yining deliberately turned around and said in a long voice,

"Didn't you hear me? Pull it out!"

The guards outside the door heard that the emperor was not joking and hurried in.

"Whoo!"

Just as he was about to ask Wenqing to leave, Yining finally couldn't help himself and laughed to himself, saying,

"Haha, drag him out and throw him into the Jinshui River to give him a bath!"

Now the guards understood that the emperor was just joking. How could he really throw a regent into the Jinshui River?

Wen Qing wiped the sweat from his head and said,

"Your Majesty, scaring people can kill them. I have a weak heart. If you scare me to death, no one will play with you anymore!"

Yining smiled and said,

"It's so uncomfortable to have a tense face all day long. Isn't it better to be lively and fun?"

The guards also joined in the fun and asked,

"Your Majesty, are you still going to give Master Wenqing a bath?"

Wenqing waved his hand.

"Get lost, what are you doing here?"

The guards covered their mouths and laughed as they walked out!

Such an emperor is not bad. He laughs every day and never speaks harshly to them!

He always cares about them when they come in and out. I don’t know how many lifetimes of blessing it must be to have such a good emperor!

Wenqing got up and said,

"Your Majesty, the space vacated by the recent palace auction has been filled up with these treasures again. How about we hold another auction?"

Yining knew he was joking, so he also said with a smile,

“You get out too!

Scarcity makes things valuable, right? We're not short of money now, so if we get too much, it won't feel new anymore! The price won't go up!

Hey, you old man, you are addicted! "

Wenqing laughed and said,

"Recently, Ruijin has become jealous again and grumbles when he sees me!"

Yining smiled and said,

"Why does this guy act like an old lady? If he has something to say, why doesn't he just tell me directly?"

Man Hing Road,

"Haha, how dare he ask for money? He should collect the tax revenue and allocate funds to us.

Now the situation is reversed. The dignified Minister of Revenue has become a beggar and is asking us for money again and again!

Besides, we just gave him so much money, he has no reason to complain!

It’s funny to think of his miserable look, hahahaha!”

Yining smiled and said,

"It's whoever owns it, money can't be brought into this world and it can't be taken away from this world either, only the money you spend has value!

Send someone to call Ruijin over, I have some instructions for him!"

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ruijin arrived, his head covered in sweat, and he seemed to have come running. He knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he entered the door.

"Your servant Ruijin greets our emperor. Long live the emperor!"

Yining Road,

"Didn't I tell you not to kowtow? You don't remember, do you?"

Ruijin Road,

"Today is different from the past. I want to thank the Emperor!"

Yining rolled his eyes.

"Why are you thanking me?"

Ruijin Road,

"The Emperor suddenly summoned me, so good things must have happened to me!"

Yining deliberately didn't let him get up and said,

"Good things have happened. Are you going to get married?"

Rui Jin knelt on the ground, beads of sweat dripping down his face, and said with a wry smile,

"I would like to marry her, but my wife is afraid she'll chop me to pieces. I don't have the guts!"

Unexpectedly, this guy is also a "henpecked husband". Yining teased him deliberately.

"That doesn't matter. Just tell me which family's daughter she is from and I'll make the decision for you!"

Ruijin waved his hands hurriedly,

"No, no, no, Your Majesty, if you just give the order and leave it alone, my family will be in turmoil and there will be no peace. I dare not do that!"

Yining smiled and said,

"Your master is Fang Xuanling, right?"

Ruijin Road,

"If I really get angry, she can't do anything to me. It's just that we have been together for decades, and I can't bear to hurt him!"

When Yining heard this, she couldn't bear to tease him anymore and said with a smile,

"I didn't expect you to be such a good man. Just based on this, I will reward you with one thousand taels of silver today. Hurry up and get up!"

Ruijin did not get up, but thanked him and said,

"I won't get up. Your Majesty, just tell me the good news. This will save me from having to stand up and fall down to express my gratitude!"

Yining Road,

"Hurry up and get up! You're soaked in sweat! If you don't get up, you'll lose everything!"

Ruijin quickly jumped up, wiped the sweat from his head and said,

"How much will the emperor give this time?"

Yining was very happy.

"Give what?"

"Of course it's silver!"

Seeing his self-righteous look, Yining couldn't help but say,

"I owe you that?"

Ruijin Road,

"It shouldn't be!"

Yining Road,

"Then what silver do you want?"

Ruijin Road,

"The emperor has made a fortune. He eats meat, and I, the servant, will definitely have soup!"

Yining said to Wenqing,

"Look at this. A man in his sixties is acting like a scoundrel!"

Rui Jin said with a smile,

"Your Majesty, please stop teasing me. I know that Your Majesty will definitely summon me today!"

"why?"

"When I went out this morning, a magpie was chirping right above my head. What a joy!"

Yining laughed,

"You're quite amusing, even believing this. Yi Heping, go get Lord Ruijin and the others a bowl of iced sour plum soup!"
