Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Ministry of Revenue.

Just as Yu Xin expected, the public housing located in the innermost part was still brightly lit, and the shadows on the window paper trembled slightly with the flickering candlelight inside.

A figure working diligently at a desk can be vaguely seen.

Seeing this scene, Gu Pu, who came from the Qianqing Palace with Yu Xin, couldn't help but show a solemn respect on his face. He said, "Master Fu is still working in the government office. He is quite old. He is really worthy of admiration."

Of course, he would feel envy, jealousy, unwillingness... and other normal human emotions.

But this did not prevent him from admiring Fu Youwen, who was still serious and hardworking despite his advanced age.

Yu Xin didn't say much about this, and the dim light also hid the disdain on his face very well.

"He is still busy checking the accounts of garrison and training troops along the coast. The reason why he is so unwilling to accept his age is nothing else but the appreciation of Your Majesty." Yu Xin looked meaningfully at the shadow working at the desk and complained in his heart.

When all the ministers died for their remonstrance last time.

His immediate boss fainted at the very beginning. They had been together a lot, and it was hard for others to tell whether he was truly dizzy or not, so he still had some concerns in his mind.

And at the same time.

He was very happy to sign the document every time after Fu Youwen reviewed it.

In Yu Xin's opinion.

This senior official in the Ministry of Revenue, could he not know how rare it was to have a surplus of money and grain in the treasury? Could he not know that every copper coin in the treasury had to be spent wisely?

Of course he knew, this was how it had always been done before!

And Fu Youwen's current behavior... has only one explanation and statement: he simply says one thing to one person and another thing to another person in order to please the new emperor.

"After all, it's all just for my own career and power... Haha!"

Yu Xin snorted in his heart and said with contempt.

And that's why he did it.

It is certain that Fu Youwen, the boss who is greedy for power and only wants to curry favor with Long En, will not accept Xia Yuanji, the paratrooper.

As soon as he was appointed to the official position, he was the third-rank Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Who knows if he will bully you, the Minister of Revenue, in the future?

Of course, as a person in the officialdom, he certainly wouldn't say these words in front of a colleague who hasn't even been officially transferred here.

With just a faint smile of ambiguous meaning, he silently responded to Gu Pu's praise and admiration for Fu Youwen.

Then he changed the subject and said, "Master Fu is still in the government office, which makes things much more convenient. Master Gu, please go in with me."

After being reminded by him, Gu Pu also remembered the main reason why he came here.

He nodded obediently, extended his hand and said, "Master Yu, please come in."

The two men walked up, knocked on the door of the public housing unit, introduced themselves to Fu Youwen inside, and pushed the door open.

Yu Xin casually greeted him as usual: "Master Fu."

Gu Pu bowed more solemnly and said, "I am Gu Pu, the director of the Ministry of War. I am honored to meet Master Fu."

Fu Youwen immediately put down the abacus in his hand and looked up.

Although he tried his best to appear calm, his gaze fixed on Yu Xin and Gu Pu revealed his concern for them at the moment.

This is understandable.

In the afternoon, someone from the Qianqing Palace came to deliver the imperial edict, but he called his deputy instead of him, and this time he stayed until this time in the evening - this matter was too unusual no matter how you looked at it, and it was inevitable that Fu Youwen felt uneasy.

Yu Xin saw through it but didn't say it out loud.

He just pretended nothing special had happened and exchanged a few pleasantries with his immediate superior: "The Ministry of Revenue has been very busy these past few days. I should have been fully assisting, but unfortunately, Your Majesty summoned me. I am truly sorry for the trouble, Master Fu."
