Sweet pet: The queen is delicate and soft

Xiao Mobai held Gu Nian's hand and walked around the village to make sure that everything was working in an orderly manner, and then planned to take Gu Nian to the official's mansion.

After several days of hard work, the roads in the disaster-stricken area have been restored, and Xiao Mobai was able to leave in a carriage.

However, Xiao Mobai didn't plan to take a carriage and go there in large numbers, but planned to take Gu Nian to take a look quietly.

Xiao Mobai estimated that the silver coins for disaster relief had been allocated at this moment. He wanted to see how much of the silver coins coming out of the court would be left in the hands of local officials.

Along the way, Xiao Mobai carried Gu Nian through the woods and rivers. This was the first time that Gu Nian felt how outstanding Xiao Mobai's martial arts was up close.

Gu Nian even had a slight doubt deep in his heart that Xiao Mobai was still not an ordinary human being.

But soon, the little doubt in Gu Nian's mind was overshadowed by the excitement that Xiao Mobai's speed brought to her.

"Wow, it's so exciting. I've never traveled at such a speed."

Seeing Gu Nian's excited look, Xiao Mobai couldn't help but smile.

In vain, he was worried about whether Gu Nian would be scared, but the little girl actually had a lot of fun.

"If Nian'er likes it, I can take you for more walks like this in the future, okay?"

Xiao Mobai's loving words were accompanied by the sound of wind whistling around him, but Gu Nian could still hear clearly what Xiao Mobai said.

"Okay."

Gu Nian nodded excitedly, actually wanting Xiao Mobai to go faster.

"Brother Mo Bai, can you go faster?"

Facing the little girl's request, Xiao Mobai raised his eyebrows in surprise and increased his speed.

Gu Nian cheered and screamed excitedly in Xiao Mobai's arms.

If it were anyone else carrying him forward like this, Gu Nian would definitely not dare. But if this person is Xiao Mobai, Gu Nian will be [-]% relieved.

Ever since he was a child, Gu Nian had unconditional trust in Xiao Mobai and was someone he could give his whole body and mind to.

Finally, after traveling for half a day, Xiao Mobai and Gu Nian arrived at the destination.

Xiao Mobai first arrived at the county government office of Magistrate Liu. Magistrate Liu was looking at the money that had just been allocated and sighed.

"Master Liu, what's going on?"

Xiao Mobai's voice came out from nowhere in the room, startling the sad-looking Magistrate Liu.

Magistrate Liu followed the sound and saw His Royal Highness holding the Crown Princess and sitting on a chair in the room.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince? When did you come in?"

Magistrate Liu looked at Gu Nian and Xiao Mobai, puzzled. He didn't hear anyone coming in at all.

"Just arrived."

Xiao Mobai didn't bother to explain to Magistrate Liu, as he was already in the room.

Seeing that Xiao Mobai didn't want to say more, Magistrate Liu was too sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

"What is in front of Magistrate Liu is money for disaster relief?"

Xiao Mobai asked, looking at Magistrate Liu who was a little confused by his sudden appearance.

After Xiao Mobai asked again, Magistrate Liu finally came to his senses. Although he didn't ask any more questions just now, all he could think about was how the Crown Prince came in.

"Back to Your Highness, that's right. I'm worried about these silver coins. I didn't expect His Highness to come."

Originally, he was worried about how this little money would be enough to provide disaster relief. Unexpectedly, just as he was worried, the savior came.

Xiao Mobai glanced at the silver coins placed in front of Magistrate Liu and roughly calculated the amount. It was quite different from what the court had allocated.

"Mr. Liu, does he know that in addition to the silver coins coming to you for disaster relief this time, is there any other need for disaster relief?"

"Back to Your Highness, as far as I know, except for Xiaguan's immediate superior, Mr. Zhang, who left 5 taels for backup, the rest should be with Xiaguan. But..."

When Magistrate Liu said this, he stopped talking. His Royal Highness must know what he wants to say next.

"Master Liu, how much silver did you get?"

"Go back to Your Highness, I have just counted it, and the total is 15 taels."

Xiao Mobai didn't look surprised at all when he heard this number. He had just made a rough estimate of the amount of silver placed here by Magistrate Liu, and it was probably about this amount.

But what Xiao Mobai didn't expect was that the subordinate officials were so greedy.

The total amount of silver used by the court for disaster relief this time was 50 taels. When he came out of the capital, he sent a letter back and ordered someone to count it. It was confirmed that when the disaster relief money left the capital, it was indeed 50 taels.

But now in the hands of the prefect, who really needs silver taels for disaster relief, only 15 taels are left.

Excluding the 5 taels of silver reserved by Fu Yin as a spare, 30 taels were actually exploited at all levels!

"Okay, I really wouldn't know if I didn't investigate, how brave these officials are."

Xiao Mobai smiled instead of angry. He wanted to see how much money these dog officials had embezzled.

Since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, the monarchs of all dynasties have been very virtuous, so they have saved a lot of wealth for Liang.

In the past, when disasters occurred, a lot of silver coins were used for disaster relief. That's because private detentions by local officials have been taken into account.

Therefore, in order to get enough money and materials into the hands of the people, the court allocates much more than the budget.

Regarding this matter, Xiao Mobai also secretly investigated the situation of disaster relief funds in previous years. Of all the officials who handled the disaster relief funds, only a few left some, and only a small amount was left.

Even so, Xiao Mobai dealt with them mercilessly. No matter what, people's life-saving money should not be touched.

But Xiao Mobai didn't expect that the officials in this place were so courageous and exploited so many people.

"Master Liu, there is no need to worry. The money is definitely not enough right now. I will take out the rest first, and I will return it to me after the court's money is recovered."

"I am an official on behalf of the people. Thank you very much, Your Highness."

As Magistrate Liu spoke, he gave Xiao Mobai a big salute. When the ceremony was over, Magistrate Liu was still hesitating.

"If you want to ask anything else, just ask, and I will tell you what I can tell you."

Xiao Mobai also saw that Magistrate Liu had something to say, so he spoke directly.

"Back to Your Highness, I just want to ask how much money the imperial court has allocated for disaster relief?"

Magistrate Liu tentatively asked the doubts in his heart, always paying attention to Xiao Mobai's expression, and was very worried that Xiao Mobai would be unhappy because of his question.

"50 million taels."

"what?"

Now not only Magistrate Liu, but also Gu Nian was surprised by this number.

Xiao Mobai didn't care about Magistrate Liu, but he thoughtfully made things easier for Gu Nian.
