Chapter 500 Debt 10 Million

Li Gu was in a daze and returned to the mansion. He only gave an order, no one was allowed to disturb him, so he entered the study. Everyone in the prime minister's mansion felt a sense of fear as if it was the end of the world.

People in the capital seem to have a skill of being smart and clear-headed. They can clearly see the following when they are a little bit of agitated.

Your Majesty sent the young master to investigate the prime minister, and it has long been known that no one would discuss such a dramatic thing. This move is cruel enough. The young master protects the master, and the two of them are done together. If they don’t protect the master, they will cause any fatal things to happen, and the master will be completely done.

Moreover, he is a corrupt official certified by his son. Li Gu will never think of turning over in his life. As for Li Ji, he will not be able to get anything better. As a son, he reported his father, but he was unfilial and would be hit by the sky!

No matter what I think, the Li family is going to be finished. This prominent prime minister's mansion is probably at its time to decline.

The housekeeper Li Fu was so ruthless that he walked around. Suddenly, he noticed that at the base of the east wall, a huge locust tree withered, and the ground was covered with yellow leaves. His family was lazy and did not clean it up. It was really unruly!

He angrily, picked up the broom and ran over to clean it.

While sweeping, shed tears. When Li Gu moved into the mansion for the first time, he saw this century-old locust tree. Li Gu was full of energy at that time and said in person that the locust tree is the tree of the ministers and the ancient locust tree can always flourish. I still remember that when the young master was a child, he liked to climb on the trees to play. Once he fell from the tree and injured the back of his head, but the master was so anxious that he hired famous doctors everywhere. It took him three days to survive... The more he thought of these, the more sad Li Fu felt. What was going on? He was like this!

Master, you really shouldn't!

Li Fu was complaining, when suddenly someone ran over in a hurry, came to him, tried to slim his throat, and said in a flattering voice: "The Marquis is here!"

"Marty?" Li Fu had not reacted yet.

"It's the champion Hou who came to see the prime minister!"

When Li Fu heard that it was Ye Hua, he was so scared that he threw the broom away, turned his head and ran away.

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's sect and the senior officials from ordinary places must be polite when they see them and dare not offend them, but their majesty is really impossible to show their power with Ye Hua.

"The villain greets the marquis."

Ye Hua said: "Stop talking nonsense. I came here with the imperial edict. I want to ask Mr. Li to tell you the way forward."

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Li Fu bent in front of him and walked tightly.

Leading Ye Hua to the entrance of the study room, Li Fu stopped.

"Marty, my prime minister told me not to disturb anyone. Can the marquis wait? Let the villain go and report it."

“No need!”

Ye Hua walked over directly, reached out and pushed the study door open. He looked inside, but Ye Hua was frightened. It turned out that Li Gu was standing on a stool, trembling, hanging silk ribbons on the beam of the room, preparing to commit suicide by hanging the beam!

"Oh, Mr. Li, it won't be!"

Ye Hua jumped over step by step and reached out to help Li Gu down.

When Li Gu saw Ye Hua coming, he shook his head repeatedly, "Marty, don't bother me, let me die!"

Ye Hua put him on the chair of the Grand Master, grabbed the silk ribbon and threw it aside.

"Mr. Li, I have been in the midst of the officialdom for decades. I thought you were indestructible! Why? You can't survive such a small thing? Want to commit suicide? Are you still a man?"

Li Gu smiled sadly, showing his fatigue.

"Mr. Marquis, I really have no way to survive. I can't die!"

Ye Hua pulled a chair and sat opposite Li Gu.

"I won't stop anyone from dying, but I am on behalf of the saint. What's the matter with that? What's the matter with Daxiangguo Temple... If you don't explain this clearly, even if you die, Your Majesty will not let the Li family go!"

Li Gu shook his head in pain, "Marty, this matter is unclear!"

Ye Hua said viciously: "If you can't explain clearly, you have to say it, tell me!"

Li Gu took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Mr. Marquis wants to hear it, so I said it, this matter has something to do with you...!" Ye Hua was stunned, widened his eyes, and heard Li Gu start to talk... In order to liberation Yan Yun, Ye Hua gave advice to the Political Affairs Hall and relied on war bonds to raise money.

Of course this method is good. The emperor and my husbands took the lead in paying money. Don’t forget that at that time, all the wastes were prosperous, and neither the court nor the people had much spare money. It would be better to rely on a passion alone.

When Li Gu was in charge of bonds, he tried his best to think of a solution, "I want to take out some money from the Ministry of Revenue to buy war bonds."

Issuing bonds with the left hand and buying with the right hand.

Is there something wrong with Mr. Li’s brain?

It's just not!

This is a very clever operation. Ye Hua did not give advice and actually ran out of the reality.

The money from the treasury to buy bonds naturally led to a trend. Bond prices rose and sales were booming, which attracted more people to participate.

"After the first batch of war bonds, the three departments issued two batches in a row, raising more than 10 million stagnant military expenses for the court."

Ye Hua crossed his legs, unable to hide his surprise.

Issuing bonds with the left hand and buying bonds with the right hand.

With this trick, Li Gu can be the chairman of the Federal Reserve!

Have a great time playing!

But then Li Gu's old face was miserable and shrank into a shriveled chrysanthemum. "Marty, you also know that the treasury has been deficit, and the money raised from the bonds has to be used for military expenses. I can't get more money to buy bonds, so, so..."

He hesitated and couldn't continue to say anything, but Ye Huaduo was smart and thought for a moment and guessed it.

"Mr. Li, have you gone to borrow money from Daxiangguo Temple?"

"Yeah!" Li Gu's mouth twitched twice, "I borrowed almost three million chunks, some used to buy bonds, and some filled the deficit of the Ministry of Revenue."

Ye Hua's eyes rolled, "It is precisely because of this that you have the handle to hold it in the hands of Daxiangguo Temple?"

Li Gu nodded.

"So later, Daxiangguo Temple stirred up storms in the capital, pulled all officials into the water, absorbed deposits, and made loans. No one dared to take care of it...is it also related to this matter?"

Ye Hua woke up as if he was dreaming. Logically speaking, the world had just been peaceful and business had not returned to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Why did Daxiangguo Temple annex so much land and how did it affect all officials?

Ye Hua once thought it was his butterfly effect that made Daxiangguo Temple grow stronger in advance! Now he realized that it was indeed related to him, but it was not the illusory butterfly effect, but the war bond!

Of course, the war bonds made Daxiangguo Temple stronger, and Chai Rong set his sights on them, and decisively took measures to destroy Buddha... Finally, the causes and consequences of these things were able to be connected together.

"What about the food for disaster relief? It's not about embezzling food and repaying the debts of Daxiangguo Temple, right?" Ye Hua gritted his teeth and said, "More than 30,000 people were starved to death. Don't you know about this?"

Li Gu shook his head helplessly, "Marty, in advance, I really didn't know that the order issued at that time was to allocate military rations, but who would have thought that the military rations were not transferred, but instead used disaster relief grains to replenish the amount. When I understand the situation, a person's life had already been killed. At that time, the war was intensified, so I could only allocate from neighboring prefectures and counties, but the various places were not well-off... Alas, I knew that my sins were serious and willing to apologize for death. I also asked the Marquis to report to Your Majesty that I failed the priest and deserved the crime. As a minister, Li Ji, who was loyal to the king and the country, killed his relatives for justice, also asked Your Majesty to be more useful, and I will die without any resentment!"

Li Gu said, taking out a bottle of crane red from his sleeve. It turned out that he had prepared all three-piece suicide sets!

Ye Hua quickly looked at the crane head and grabbed the crane head Hong with a quick hand.

"Mr. Li! As you said, then you have made contributions but no faults, so why should you commit suicide?"

Li Gu became more and more embarrassed, "Marty, Daxiangguo Temple has done so many things. I, as an important minister of the court, cannot help but have misunderstood the punishment!"

"Is it just a mistake?" Ye Hua asked again, his tone even better than before.

Li Gu hesitated for a while, shook his head helplessly and said, "Marty, why bother me! Once this matter is opened, all the things I did in Daxiangguo Temple before will be pushed to me. What's more, I'm in charge of clearing the land of the sect is already angered by heaven and people, and there are enemies everywhere. They will use this as an excuse to kill me! Instead of dying in the hands of others, it's better to stop myself first to avoid trouble!"

Ye Hua smiled, "Mr. Li, do you want to save the son-in-law?"

Li Gu raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, and tears flowed down from the corners of his eyes, "The saint said that the most difficult thing in this world is his father. The matter of Daxiangguo Temple involves Taifu Chai. If I don't die, I will be destroyed by nine clans!"

As an old bureaucrat with a strong heart, Li Gu would not seek death easily, but in the face of the current situation, he really had no choice. Chai Rong could forgive anything, and would not forgive the plot against Chai Shouli!

All officials hated that they had invested in it. As for Ye Hua, although he promised to help, he would never offend the whole world for himself... Can he have a way out besides death?

"Mr. Li, it's not difficult for you to live. It's okay to keep the son and even make him soar. You only need to do one thing!" Ye Hua said quietly.

Li Gu sneered as if he heard a lie, "Zhou Jung-Hou, why do you have to deceive me? I'm all dead, do you have the heart to bear it?"

"No, no, no, I'm telling the truth." Ye Hua said: "The past is indeed unclear, and those bad accounts cannot be found. But the deficit of more than one million yuan is indeed true. As long as Mr. Li can solve this deficit, he will naturally survive."

Li Gu asked curiously: "Mr. Marquis, what do you mean is to let me manage the treasury well and manage the financial resources of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and make enough money to earn tens of millions of dollars?"

Ye Hua laughed, "Mr. Li, you pretend to be confused when you understand! If you still care about the treasury, will the money be earned by you or the court? What I mean is that you asked you to resign from the Sansi envoy, and then use your own abilities to earn 10 million yuan for the Great Zhou to clean up your sins, how about it?"
