To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Li Yujin came back late at night and was starving. He had been discussing issues with the emperor so much that the group of people had completely forgotten to eat.

Seeing the exhausted man, Chu Yuhan hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare hot water for the old man to take a bath. Li Yujin waved his hand hastily and said, "Ask the kitchen to bring us something edible first.

I didn’t have time to eat in the palace today. Anything is fine as long as I can fill my stomach.

When Madam Yang heard the order, she hurried to the small kitchen. The old ladies, grandmothers and grandmas in the mansion all had small kitchens, and now the big kitchen was cooking big pot meals for the servants.

The small kitchen has all the good ingredients and the fire on the stove is kept on, just in case the master needs hot water or something and there is no one to serve him.

The chef turned on the stove, but it was too late to cook for the master at this time. Fortunately, today's meal was all seafood, so it would not be difficult to catch it and steam it immediately.

And tonight, I'm cooking abalone and sea cucumber in a golden soup. It's already well-seasoned. It was originally meant for the master to eat tomorrow morning, but it's finally coming in handy.

Under the chef's direction, the kitchen cook skillfully kneaded and rolled out the noodles. The kitchen had plenty of broth ready, so she used it with prawns to create a bowl of steaming seafood noodles. This was paired with the chef's stir-fried prawns, abalone, and sea cucumber in a golden broth.

A plate of sea crab, a plate of braised pig tongue, a plate of Laba garlic, and a plate of diced cucumber in sweet sauce.

Several servants quickly carried the dishes to the main room. This meal was just what Li Yujin liked.

The abalone and sea cucumber are soft, glutinous, tasty, fragrant and smooth. The noodles are chewy and smooth, and the soup is a bit sticky in the mouth. One bite will fill your mouth with satisfaction from the beginning to the top of your head.

The taste of the Laba garlic was even more amazing. Li Yujin was really hungry and devoured the food in a flash.

Seeing that he was enjoying the meal, Chu Yuhan asked Madam Yang to give each of them a hundred coins as a reward to the kitchen.

For servants, these kinds of rewards were an important source of income. The chef's highest monthly salary was only two taels of silver. He and the waiter each received three hundred taels of silver, and the rest was divided among the odd jobs.

Don't underestimate these three hundred coins. They can buy nearly one hundred kilograms of white flour, which is enough for the whole family to eat white flour buns for many days.

In other words, the kitchen is full of oil and water, and no matter how strict the control of the Marquis' Mansion is, the cook will not starve to death.

No one dared to stop him from openly taking a spoonful from his master's dish, under the pretext of testing the saltiness. A starving chef could weigh eight hundred kilograms.

The other people in the kitchen looked at the chef and his wife with envy. The chef's wife was the one who prepared the pastry. One had to have a skill at all times, and all the money was earned by the couple.

Li Yujin would never let himself be wronged. A nobleman should act like a nobleman and should not do things below the neck by himself if he can avoid it.

The servants at home were well-trained, so it was so comfortable not to have to bathe myself. Anfu and Angui were both skilled people. They were busy scrubbing my body and washing my hair.

Li Yujin felt dizzy after being washed, and went into bed after being wiped dry.

Seeing her husband fall asleep in a flash, Chu Yuhan tucked the corner of the quilt in for him. Tomorrow was a big court meeting, so her husband would only get two and a half hours of sleep at most.

After a silent night, Li Yujin was already dressed at dawn the next day. Chu Yuhan handed him a bowl of hot bird's nest porridge. He didn't have the energy to go to court without eating.

It was indecent to go to the toilet after eating too much. Therefore, court officials tried not to eat or eat less in the morning.

In order to avoid being disrespectful in front of the emperor, officials rode horses and took sedan chairs to rush to the palace early in the morning.

The emperor was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked even more majestic under the cover of the crown.

As the eunuchs' voices were heard saying that they had no right to leave the court, the emperor's confidants began to attack the inner court.

The emperor pointed to the inner court's account books and said with deep sorrow: "My dear ministers, you are the pillars of the country. I am not afraid of your ridicule. Our Great Yong Dynasty is in trouble. The Huai River and Huai River regions have been hit hard by floods this year and the harvest has been wiped out.

I saw it all and was worried about it. I thought that if the harem and I were frugal, we could save more money for rice and grain for the victims.

There is a hole in my pants and I wanted to mend it and wear it again, but the imperial court actually asked me for twenty taels of silver to fix it.

They are simply cruel-hearted. These twenty taels of silver are enough for a farmer's family to live for two years.

They have bullied me too much, they have bullied me too much!

My dear ministers, look at these accounts. Where do they place me? Do they still regard me as their father and ruler? Then the emperor's confidants loudly accused the imperial court of various sins.

The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they respond to this? The Imperial Household was responsible for managing the emperor's daily necessities.

The emperor wants to clean up his house, and this cannot be stopped. If the emperor is short of money and goes crazy, someone has to take responsibility for this matter.

It is better to see the people in the inner court suffer misfortune than to suffer misfortune yourself. This is what is meant by "It is better for me to die than for my friend to die."

The entire court was outraged and expressed their firm support for the emperor's cleansing of the house.

The officials in the inner court were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. Their department could not withstand the investigation at all, and every investigation would lead to the conclusion of the investigation.

What was even more cruel was that the emperor immediately ordered all the officials in the inner court to be thrown into the Dali Temple prison.

Li Yujin was entrusted with an important task by the emperor, and he took the imperial guards and the eunuch Zhang to raid the homes of corrupt officials.

The first to be hit was the home of Cui Hanchen, the chief eunuch of the inner court. The imperial guards surrounded Cui's house in a dense mass, making it impossible to get out.

The first impression given by Old Man Cui is that he is simple and shrewd. He has worn his official uniform for many years and the patch on the chest has faded, but he still wears it.

The house doesn't look luxurious at all. It is said that they haggle for a long time with the vendors over the price of mutton at home.

But this was all superficial. The Imperial Guards controlled all the men, women, and children in the Cui family, and then they started searching through all the drawers and cabinets.

This old man Cui's ability to hide money was truly first-rate. The Imperial Guards only found less than two thousand taels of silver in Cui's house.

The Royal Guards tried every possible means, even dismantling the ceiling and floor to search, but still found nothing. They did not find the secret room or the silver.

Li Yujin was so angry that he laughed. This Lord Cui was really funny and humorous. He spent the whole day unwilling to eat or drink.

People born in the year of the rat are good at hiding things. It’s bad luck for this guy to meet him today!

Li Yujin separated a wisp of his soul and dug three feet deep into the ground at Cui's mansion.

Suddenly, the wall of the main room caught his eye. This old guy was really insidious. The entire wall of the main room was made of gold and silver.

The outside is covered with mud and fired into bricks, and the wall is built particularly solidly using glutinous rice juice mixed with clay.

Li Yujin drew the sword in his arms and chopped down the wall of the main room with all his strength.

The sword had carved a large gap in the blue brick, leaving it like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally undecorated. The gold and silver covering the bricks had been removed, like a girl taking off her veil, revealing her naturally charming complexion.

The Imperial Guards were all stunned. This old man Cui was such a piece of shit! The brothers almost couldn't get through to the mission!
