After playing in the Jiutian Palace of Long Jiuling for a while, Chen Xiao looked at the entrance of the harem outside, and the Seventh Prince had not arrived yet.

This guy dared not not pay back the money because he was afraid that Chen Xiao would find the emperor.

But it hasn't been released for so long, obviously, this money is really hard to borrow.

There is no way, just play in Jiutian Palace.

Until it was almost dark, the seventh prince finally came out.

Chen Xiao left the Nine Heavens Palace and saw the Seventh Prince holding a few ingots of silver in his hand.

"Here, fifty taels!" The seventh prince gave Chen Xiao a dark face.

Chen Xiao snorted, took the silver and said, "Next time I want to find someone to kill me, you can only ask for tens of thousands of taels of silver. If you want to kill me for dozens of taels of silver, what do you think I am?"

As he said that, he took the silver and turned around and left.

The seventh prince breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You still treat me as a fool..."

As he said that, he turned around and returned to Zhuangning Pavilion!

After Chen Xiao left the palace, he returned to the Ministry of Revenue. It was almost dark and many officials had already left the yamen and just got off work.

After Chen Xiao handed the money to the minor official in the chief office, Chen Xiao returned to the restaurant after get off work.

In the restaurant, the fat man told Chen Xiao that he had received a land deed sent by someone from the family of the Minister of Rites.

Chen Xiao looked at it and found that it was a hundred acres of land, outside the imperial capital, a remote and deserted place.

It is a salt pond, but unfortunately, the salt produced by the salt pond is of poor quality and will not make money if mined. Therefore, it is an abandoned place and cannot be considered a fertile land.

Therefore, the Minister of Rites would be so generous to exchange 2,000 taels of silver for Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao was very happy. In the eyes of people in this world, the salt produced by this salt pond is relatively poor, so he thinks it is useless.

But Chen Xiao probably knows some methods of making salt.

Therefore, if these salts with poor quality and many impurities can be made into snow-white salts.

So, in his hands, it is definitely a treasure land.

"Fatty, get me two thousand taels of silver. I bought this piece of land!" Chen Xiao said.

The fat man was anxious when he heard this: "I said, are you stupid? Just such useless land, it's not worth buying it for 100 taels, let alone 2,000 taels?"

"You toad in the well, you know a hammer!" Chen Xiao said unhappily:

"This land is in my hands. I don't know how many 2,000 taels you earn. You can wait and see. When I have time, let you know how good this land is!"

The fat man sighed: "Okay, okay, I believe it if you say it's so good!"

Chen Xiao was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. When he arrived at the backyard, he saw Qi Mo in a daze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"No, Chen Xiao, look, the sow's belly is getting bigger and bigger!" Qi Mo said.

Chen Xiao nodded: "Well, take good care of you, you will make a huge contribution to the meat food of everyone in this world, this is definitely not a joke!"

Qi Mo said seriously: "Really? Aren't these just two pigs?"

"Have you seen such a fat pig? Have you eaten such a fat pig?" Chen Xiao asked.

"That's not, but this pig is so beautiful, I really can't bear to eat it!"

Chen Xiao curled his lips and said, "Go back to sleep!"

Qi Mo glanced at Chen Xiao, then continued to lie down and look at the pig.

No words all night!

The next day, early in the morning, Chen Xiao went to the Ministry of Revenue, took a few minor officials, and continued to collect the accounts!

In the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue, the Minister of Revenue asked the officials below: "What did Chen Xiao, the head of the Ministry of Jin, do yesterday?"

"It seems that I have been away all the time. It is said that I went to Prince Cheng's Mansion to attend the princess' party and went to the palace." The little official replied.

The Minister of Revenue said: "What about today?"

"I went out early in the morning!"

The Minister of Revenue smiled: "It seems that he is not in a hurry to the account book problem at all. Haha, that's best. In this position, I have assigned the task, but you did nothing. At that time, the problem will become more and more serious and the accounts will become more and more wrong. I will push everything to you, and it will take you to see when you finish..."

After the minor official retired, the Minister of Revenue went to the Minister of Revenue and said that he could continue to embezzle some places where money was spent. Anyway, Chen Xiao didn't care about the accounts, and then the accounts would not match, and Chen Xiao would be even more responsible.

But he didn't know that Chen Xiao was not only collecting accounts, but also secretly checking some of the accounts. Moreover, he was carefully investigating and marking the problems when they were not in line, how much difference, who was responsible for the poor link.

Even though this is done, it is difficult to find out the previous account issues.

But since some accounts have been checked, it is very obvious if there is any problem next.

In the view of the Minister of Revenue, Chen Xiao would have to find a group of people to calculate so many accounts every day, which would take one or two months.

This is not an exaggeration, because the arithmetic in the ancient world was not simple, and when calculating, the numbers were made of Chinese characters, which was troublesome to write, and it was made of abacus, which was even more troublesome.

Therefore, some accounts with large numbers and many complex numbers are easy to make mistakes when counting, and they have to start over.

Therefore, in ancient times, it was really troublesome to settle accounts. After a single account, the records made during the period were only a few pieces of paper!

But for Chen Xiao, it is much simpler.

He knows Arabic numerals and various simple algorithms of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. He doesn't need to make abacus, just make formulas. Give him a piece of paper and he can calculate clearly.

Therefore, it seems that he is almost not calculating the accounts with problems. In fact, he has calculated clearly and is not bad at all!

But in the eyes of the Minister of Revenue, Chen Xiao did nothing.

At this moment, Chen Xiao was taking the account book of the loan and continuing to go to the officials to collect the accounts.

In this imperial capital, from the first-rank tutor to the seventh-rank tutor, almost all people borrow money from the Ministry of Revenue.

Chen Xiao was puzzled. Isn’t this a time of disaster? Is there such a shortage of money?

Now, Chen Xiao is outside the official office of Taipu Temple, asking the Minister of Taipu Temple to repay the money.

This Taipu Temple is a horse raised by the court. The Taipu Temple minister is a third-rank official, and he is a big official. Although his power is not very good, he is also a third-rank official.

However, at this moment, after Chen Xiao asked someone to report, he disappeared without seeing Chen Xiao.

This guy owed the Ministry of Revenue 5,000 taels of silver, how could Chen Xiao let it go?

So, I was ready to force my way to Taipu Temple.

But the people from Taipu Temple also received an order to refuse Chen Xiao from entering.

Chen Xiao is so angry, deadbeat, five thousand taels of silver, do you want to pay for the debt?

He didn't do it, so he made several sting officials shout loudly outside the Taipu Temple:

"Taipu Temple Minister, don't repay the money if you borrow it, don't be too old."

"The Taipu Temple Minister, borrowed 5,000 taels of RMB 1,000, and was a third-rank official, who wanted to beat a rogue..."

Chen Xiao even shouted: "Taipu Temple, you old guy, don't you feel embarrassed?"

In Taipu Temple, Taipu Temple is so angry, but what can he do? He owe money and is indebted...

"Sir, why don't you let him in? If this continues, not only the people from Taipu Temple, but also the people in the entire imperial capital will know you..." An official below spoke.
