It's one thing to know, but another to see it with your own eyes.

Gong Xiqiu, who came to pick up his eldest brother after receiving the news, happened to see this scene and couldn't help but look at Shen Tang with sympathy: "Mama?"

He wanted to ask, is she okay?

Shen Tang watched the pure gold statue disappear for a moment.

After a long while, he exhaled a sigh of relief.

He waved his hands and said, "Just get used to this kind of thing."

She used to lose her temper and say a few words, but now she can't. It's not because she has matured, but because she has been working for too many years. Under her young and beautiful skin, she is a social animal who has been tortured by 007*3 My heart. It’s great to live another day.

"It's just a pity that such a good statue..."

The artistic value alone can be passed down to future generations as a tourist selling point.

She looked at Jimo Qiu with a slight apology.

No matter how generous the high priest was, Shen Tang, the recipient of the gift, was forcibly taken away by God before she had a chance to touch the statue he gave away. In front of the real owner, she was more or less embarrassed. No The most embarrassing thing, only more embarrassing, is that the front legs of the statue completely disappeared, and the rear legs and the baggage cart were also damaged.

Shen Tang: "..."

Gong Xiqiu: "...how much do you owe?"

He was really worried that even his ancestral property would not be enough to pay this debt.

Shen Tang was speechless, laughing and laughing: "That's not important... What's important is that the money spent has at least played a role... Let's think about it from another angle, the debt owed to God has no interest... Doesn't it feel like a small profit? Pen?"

Interest-free money is earned when you use it.

Gong Xiqiu curled his lips: "Maybe he has already collected it. God didn't make a list for you. Who knows how much it will be?"

A hard-earned fee is secretly deducted from each repayment, does Mama know?

Shen Tang: "..."

Gong Xiqiu was hit on the back of the head.

Jimo Qiu said seriously: "Don't talk nonsense about the way of heaven."

The fact that the law of heaven is supreme is not exaggerated, nor is it unflattering. If you don’t deduct a point for more, you will get a cent for less. But it’s hard to say anything other than the law of heaven.

Gong Xiqiu: "Our family doesn't believe in the way of heaven."

What's wrong with talking a few words when questioning?

He doesn't believe this stuff when he's grown up.

Just as Jimo Qiu was about to speak, a high-pitched shout from Xun Zhen suddenly came to his ears. In full view of everyone, Shangshu of Hubu held two gold ingots in his hands and said excitedly: "There's still some left, there's still left!"

Shen Tang shouted excitedly: "Awesome!"

He took three steps and two steps at a time and jumped up to Xun Zhen.

Compared with Shen Tang's outward emotions, Xun Zhen was more restrained. However, his hands holding the gold ingot were still trembling with excitement, which gave a glimpse of his inner excitement. God began to deduct money, and Xun Zhen did not believe that the evil will carry the baggage. Searching through cars one by one.

Empty, empty, empty...

Still empty...

Just when he thought that this windfall could not even be settled, Xun Zhen found two gold ingots scattered in the corners of the wooden boxes on the baggage cart. The remaining fifty or so baggage carts were still full! Jimo Autumn It was also stated that there was a shortage of manpower and only part of it was shipped.

What does this mean? It means that the Lord has no debts for the time being! It means that the remaining money can be used for other things.

How could Xun Zhen not be excited?

Even if the money was given to the lord by Jimo Qiu, and those who saw it had a share, the treasury could absorb part of it. Xun Zhen was not greedy, he could just give half of it to the treasury, and keep the remaining half for him to fight in the future.

Thinking together, Xun Zhen arranged them clearly.

"Quick, call someone to take over!"

Xun Zhen immediately became full of energy, as if she was afraid that Shen Tang would regret it, so she had people come with blank account books, pens and ink, abacus and copper rights. Shen Tang, the leader of the country, was almost squeezed out of the crowd.

"Are all the people in Tobe a wolf?"

Everyone has green eyes.

Shen Tang muttered a few words, and seeing that she had nothing to do here, she rolled her sleeves and prepared to leave. Debt-free and light, her body felt lighter than ever before, as if she would fly with every two steps she took.

Gong Xiqiu looked at these people and frowned: "Reliable?"

Shen Tang caught his words with sharp ears.

“What is reliable and unreliable?”

Gong Xiqiu: "Of course it's corruption and embezzlement."

He relied on his strength to look down on everything, and didn't bother to worry about human relationships. He just said whatever he thought, completely ignoring that the Hubu group was not far away. For those who can practice, such a small distance is like speaking loudly into the ear. Does whispering make a difference?

Everyone in the household department became silent and silent.

Shen Tang said: "You have to believe in the integrity of Kang's officials."

Touch her hard-earned money?

Do you really think she doesn’t play Jiuzu Xiaoxiao Le?

Jimo Qiu: "Ah Nian, be careful what you say."

The elder brother's lack of integrity made him heartbroken. If it weren't for his extraordinary strength, Gong Xiqiu's grave would have been three feet high.

His brother's suppression forced Gong Xiqiu to close his eyes.

Gong Xiqiu snorted: "I believe it for now."

Everyone in the household department looked at each other in shock, not daring to look at Shangshu Xun's face. Some of them had also attended General Xun's wedding. The woman was the queen of the Gongxi clan, who was Gongxi Qiu's sister. What did the two families say? He was considered an in-law, so no matter how reckless Gong Xiqiu was, he would show mercy, right? In the end, he didn't care at all, and directly asked his boss, the Ministry of Accounts, if there was any possibility of embezzlement or embezzlement.

Anyone who hears this will be furious.

Even if you don't get angry, you will feel humiliated.

Unexpectedly, Shangshu Xun behaved like a carefree person.

He also waved his hands to indicate that everyone should not think too much: "The money that the high priest brought today is equivalent to three years of Kang's treasury income. He only said a few words, how can he lose a piece of meat? We are not afraid of slanting shadows. If you don’t have ghosts in your heart, you won’t be afraid.”

If it were just a box of silver, if Gong Xiqiu dared to say this, Xun Zhen would roll up her sleeves and fight him to the death, but - these are three to four hundred baggage trucks, and each baggage truck has three to five boxes!

Half of them are gold bars and half are silver bars. The pure color has reached the pinnacle of smelting and purification in the world, with almost no impurities. Even if most of it is used to pay off debts, there will still be a lot left. Not to mention that corrupt officials cannot control it, even honest officials will want it after seeing it. Shake a little or two.

Greed is human nature, and integrity is against human nature.

Is this greed?

Or not greedy?

Shen Tang has great confidence in his own people, especially Xun Zhen: "It's hard to tell other people, but Hanzhang's household department can't."

Xun Zhen never even had the thought of being greedy. It was not because he regarded money as dirt, but simply because he knew that the money would be used by him in the end. Just greedy for his money.

In the final analysis, he is also "greedy".

However, his "greed" is different from normal people.

Gong Xiqiu also paid the price for his outspokenness, which prevented people from going down the stairs. He listened to Jimo Qiu's lectures all the way.

Alas, my ears are getting calluses.

Shen Tang also gave him an assist: "I'm not going to say it to you. If you want to say it, let's change the situation and take Hanzhang into consideration. After all, he is also your niece's grandfather. There is no conflict, so why is there a stalemate?"

Gong Xiqiu corrected: "That's called niece."

There is no distinction between inside and outside within the clan.

Shen Tang also changed his words: "Okay, your niece."

Gong Xiqiu then said: "If I hadn't cared about the relationship between relatives, I wouldn't have said more than this today. The Xun family father and son are very generous as fathers, but their minds are not bright as sons, how can they not worry?"

Shen Tang didn't know what kind of style he had.

I haven't heard of a conflict between Gong Xiqiu and Xun Zhen recently.

Or, what happened during those few days when she was asleep?

She could only ask Jimo Qiu with her eyes.

Jimo Qiu: "A Nian wanted to take his niece away to raise her, but he repeatedly rejected the name given by Xun Shangshu, and there was a quarrel."

Shen Tang: "..."

Jimo Qiu added: "A Nian gave me a name."

Xun Shangshu firmly opposed it after reading it, and Gong Xiqiu became unhappy.

The money that was taken away today belonged to Xun Zhenhua, so Gong Xiqiu was even more unhappy. He felt that Xun Hanzhang was a prodigal man.

Shen Tang: "..."

What is the level of naming Gong Xiqiu?

Jimo Qiu said: "What the name is is secondary. What is written in the genealogy does not mean what must be used in reality. This can be accommodated. For the child's first birthday party, A Nian wanted to return to the clan to hold it. Xun Shangshu meant that the full moon cannot be caught up, so the first birthday party is just right. , it’s time to hold a grand event. But the clan is far away, so it’s inconvenient for guests to come there. He plans to hold it here in the Xun Mansion.”

The two had a bad time because of the venue.

Shen Tang: "What's so controversial about this kind of thing?"
