Ye Wuwei glanced at the memorial and said, "I think the memorial is inappropriate, right?"

"What's inappropriate?"

"With your talents, there is absolutely no problem for you to join the cabinet. It's just that you don't want to."

Since he was free anyway, Ye Wuwei thought about it and picked up the memorial to read it.

Qi Wushuang winked at Xiao Dengzi, and Xiao Dengzi quietly left to find Nie Youren.

The statement that "Nie Youren will send someone to tell Qi Wushuang about the property handover" was pure nonsense made up by Qi Wushuang. Now Xiao Dengzi was looking for Nie Youren to cover up for Qi Wushuang.

What Chu Fuchi saw when he came in were two people standing next to each other.

Ye Wuwei was reading the memorial while talking to Qi Wushuang. Ye Wuwei seemed to be speaking seriously, but Qi Wushuang didn't look like he was listening seriously.

Qi Wushuang just wanted to get into Ye Wuwei's body.

Chu Fuchi complained bitterly about Qi Wushuang in his heart: Your Majesty is really something, he doesn’t even notice what kind of occasion this is?

This is the side hall of Taiji Hall!

Officials will be coming in any moment!

Chu Fuchi increased the pace of his footsteps, but the two people above still didn't notice him.

Chu Fuchi could only utter: "Your Majesty."

The word "Your Majesty" successfully drew Qi Wushuang and Ye Wuwei's attention to Chu Fuchi.

Chu Fuchi placed the plan sketch drawn by Xiao Chen on the desk in front of Qi Wushuang:

"Just now the cabinet discussed:

There is generally no problem with this planning scheme, but the formal design drawings and budget need to be reviewed before it can be implemented."

Ye Wuwei rolled up the planning sketch:

"Of course. I'm just taking this plan sketch to negotiate with the residents of the west city. Demolition alone will take more than a day or two."

After saying this, Ye Wuwei said to Qi Wushuang:

"I'll tell Xiao Chen to draw up the formal design and make a budget now."

After saying this, Ye Wuwei left without waiting for Qi Wushuang's consent.

After Ye Wuwei left the side hall, Chu Fuchi said to Qi Wushuang:

"Can't you restrain yourself a little? If others see you, it will cause trouble."

Qi Wushuang knew what Chu Fuchi was talking about, and he wanted to restrain himself, but whenever he was with Ye Wuwei, he couldn't control himself.

At this time, Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guard, Major General Zhan, came in.

"Your Majesty, all the treasures in the private treasury have been moved to the square. Commander Nie wants to take a look."

"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

After Major Zhan left, Chu Fuchi did not leave.

He wanted to stay by Qi Wushuang's side and remind him at all times not to do anything "unreasonable" to Ye Wuwei in public.

After Ye Wuwei left and came back, Qi Wushuang said, "Let's go out and watch the fun."

In the square outside the Taiji Hall, there are hundreds of large wooden boxes and boxes of various sizes piled up.

At this time, all the boxes were open, and the officials and soldiers watching could see the rare treasures in the boxes.

General Qi was present, but Grand Tutor Zhuang, Grand Master Yuwen, and the three princes were not.

After seeing Qi Wushuang arrive, Nie Youren began to read out the private property of the former emperor.

After reading it, Nie Youren handed the account book to General Qi and said, "Here is the account book. Please count it."

General Qi took the account book, and Nie Youren said loudly:

"If only the national treasury had half this much, Your Majesty wouldn't have to worry so much about money."

This is without counting the gold in the underground private vaults. The silver in the national treasury is less than half of the property now displayed in the square.

If you count the gold in the underground vault...

You can imagine how "greedy" the former emperor was!

Therefore, Ye Wuwei’s statement that “the gold in the emperor’s private treasury is taken from the people” was not wrong.

After Nie Youren finished speaking, the officials present had different expressions.

It is not a glorious thing that the treasury of an imperial court has less silver than the private treasury of the emperor, although the wealth of several major families is no less than the private property of the former emperor.

Chu Fuchi lost no time in saying:

"Your Majesty has accumulated some wealth in Andu before, about five million taels of gold, and Your Majesty intends to use it all to improve the people's livelihood in Qi Dynasty.

Next, Your Majesty will develop water conservancy projects, reclaim wasteland, and encourage the people to be self-sufficient.

Your Majesty will also build a new city so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

After Chu Fuchi finished speaking, the officials' faces became even more colorful.

However, except for a few people, no one doubted that Qi Wushuang had five million taels of gold.

Because Andu is indeed rich, and all of Andu's fiscal revenue belongs to Qi Wushuang.

It is entirely possible that Qi Wushuang has accumulated five million taels of gold in more than ten years.

But Chu Fuchi knew it clearly: Qi Wushuang was very poor!

Not to mention five million taels of gold, Qi Wushuang's private treasury didn't even have fifty thousand taels of gold!

Even in Andu's account, there were rarely more than 100,000 taels of gold!

Because in addition to bearing the military expenses of Yingdu, Qi Wushuang used all the money to improve the people's livelihood in Andu!

Otherwise, Chen Shusheng would not have been able to see the people living and working in peace and contentment in Andu!

Chen Shusheng, the fool, didn't know the details. After hearing Chu Fuchi's words, he was the first to express his opinion:

"Your Majesty is so kind and benevolent. It is truly a blessing for the people! I am willing to bravely lead the charge and follow Your Majesty's lead!"

After Chen Shusheng expressed his stance, all the officials present came out to express their willingness to support Qi Wushuang, even the officials from the factions of Grand Tutor Zhuang and Grand Tutor Yuwen were no exception.

Indeed, the former emperor had been in power for more than ten years without any achievements. Qi Wushuang was in sharp contrast to the former emperor. Regardless of whether they truly supported Qi Wushuang or not, they could not support the former emperor to show that they were treacherous ministers.

When the officials expressed their opinions, they were also somewhat confused: How come the coldness of the new emperor disappeared?

Is it because of everyone’s support?

After the officials had expressed their opinions, Qi Wushuang said to General Qi:

"Grand Marshal, although the treasury is indeed empty, these are my brother's private property, so I ask you to preside over the distribution."

"I will inform the three princes, the queen, the imperial concubine, and the princesses of the amount of these properties, but I am only the patriarch of the Qi family, and they have the final say on how to distribute them."

"I understand. I'll trouble you, General."

"I dare not, this is my duty!"

Qi Wushuang's actions today actually made General Qi respect him a little more:

Regardless of whether Qi Wushuang wants to weaken the power of the aristocratic family in the future, at least Qi Wushuang's pattern, mind, and courage are unmatched by anyone in the entire Qi family!

The three princes are even worse!

It is a blessing for the Qi family to have the kingdom handed over to him!

After watching the excitement, Ye Wuwei said to Qi Wushuang: "I'm going back."

"You won't have anywhere to eat when you go back, so why don't you eat with me before going back? It just so happens that you haven't finished reading those memorials just now."

Ye Wuwei glanced at Chu Fuchi:

"No, Prime Minister Chu handles government affairs much more carefully than I do. It would be ridiculous for me to give him his opinions."

After Ye Wuwei left, Qi Wushuang's temperature dropped again.

After Ye Wuwei left, Chu Fuchi no longer had to worry about Qi Wushuang doing anything out of line, and he was too lazy to look at Qi Wushuang's face anymore, so he left on the pretext of handling government affairs.
