Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Household Department.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-"

As the beads of the abacus clicked, the hearts of the passing officials trembled.

It only took a second for the official who had just arrived to report for duty to change his expression from smiling when greeting his colleagues to a numb face.

"Here, here, and here. If the account is not correct, send someone to check. Is it something I missed or something..."

Nineteen spoke in a tactful tone and put aside several problematic account books and asked the clerk nearby to show them to the official in charge of this part of the account books.

He knew that there was something fishy in the account books, but the master said that he should first put a fig leaf on them and let them make up for it themselves. If they couldn't make up or just didn't make up, the accounts would be settled together later.

Thinking of this, Nineteen looked at the officials around him with sympathy. He was so brave to dare to take the master's things.

The surrounding officials trembled under the sympathetic eyes of Nineteen. If they knew what Nineteen was thinking, they would definitely cry out for injustice. When they took these things, the person sitting on their head was not your master!

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the others stopped visiting randomly after visiting the Ministry of Finance during this time. They took their time to deal with the things piled up in their hands and then gathered in Sun Shangshu's office.

Account books that needed to be changed and confirmed due to errors were brought to them by the clerk, and the Minister of Revenue and others also trembled.

They love and hate the nineteen who came to check the accounts.

I don’t know where your Majesty found this monster. It’s so powerful in arithmetic that it can do the work of other officials for half a year in one day!

If this was someone from their household department, how much easier would it be?

But I also hate that he has a sharp eye, and he can tell at a glance if there is anything wrong with the account books!

That is the account book written by the most capable accountant! True and false alternate between false and true. If you don't look carefully, how can you tell what's fishy?

Zuo Shilang had a grimace on his face, "Sir, what should we do now? These... these things..."

They couldn't tell that His Majesty dealt with them directly without knowing it, because he wanted them to make up for it.

But where can things go if the accounts don't match? Of course he was swallowed by someone!

The problem is, these things they swallowed were eventually converted into various gifts for their superiors and flowed into the pockets of the people behind them!

What they get is really limited!

What's the difference between letting them mend it now and using a knife to dig out their flesh? !

The right servant said quietly from the side: "No? Do you want to disappear..."

Zuo Shilang closed his mouth and sighed heavily.

There are three people in charge of the household department, and there are people behind each of them, but now the three of them are from the same place in the world and have the same troubles.

Just as the three of them were looking for ways to make up for their poor things, a servant walked in quickly.

Salute to the third-in-command of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "I have met you, your Excellency, you have met your Excellency, the Left Assistant Minister, you have met your Lord, the Right Assistant Minister..."

"Okay, okay, what do you have to report?" Lord Sun waved his hand to stop his servant's salute and asked in an irritable tone.

"Prince Cheng and Marquis Dingning dealt with the internal corruption matter and seized a lot of money."

This is not a secret. Anyone in the officialdom can inquire about it casually, so the servant told him directly.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

"How much stolen money was found?" Master Sun asked hurriedly, "Oh, this matter involves gold and silver calculations, so someone from my household department should help."

Then he looked at the two people beside him, rolled his eyes, and said: "You two, please follow me to see His Majesty."

Even if you can't say it, you can get a piece of the pie.

When he said in court that the Ministry of Revenue had no money, it was really not empty talk.

Except for the money that has been set aside and cannot be touched, such as border military pay, money for farming in the coming year and other major events, the Treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs can really run wild!

Although he betted other princes behind his back, he never moved when he shouldn't have done so. This was one of the biggest reasons why the late Emperor Rong betted on him.

"Hurry up!"

Master Sun straightened his robes and asked his servants to quickly go to the memorial office to register for the meeting.

When the three of them arrived outside the Yanhe Hall, the Minister of Industry, Shuzheng, and the Shaofu Supervisor of the Shaofu came out of the hall with a smile, complimenting each other on how good the two brothers were.

Mr. Sun paused in his steps. Why did these two people get together?

"Master Sun." Minister of the Ministry of Industry raised his hand to Master Sun.

The young eunuch also hurriedly saluted: "I have met Mr. Sun."

Mr. Sun bowed his hand to the Minister of Industry and returned the greeting: "Mr. Wei."

The left and right servants behind him saluted: "I've met Mr. Wei."

After several people greeted each other, the scene became a little quiet.

In the past, the two of them would have tried to test each other's purpose with words, but now they all have something on their minds and really can't think of chatting.

Fortunately, the waiter came out in time to interrupt the stalemate between several people.

"Master Sun, Your Majesty summons you, please don't keep Your Majesty waiting."

"Thank you for reminding me, father-in-law." Mr. Sun reacted and didn't care how the Ministry of Works was involved with the young master's office. He cupped his hands and said goodbye. He came to the chamberlain and asked in a low voice, "Mr. father-in-law, how is your Majesty's mood?"

The chamberlain's words were as good as his words, "As long as you don't say anything your Majesty doesn't like to hear, His Majesty will be in a good mood."

Mr. Sun: "..."

Arriving at the palace, the three of them saluted: "I have met Your Majesty."

Qianghua hummed, knowing why they came, "You came just in time, I have something I need you three to do."

Master Sun and his left and right servants felt uneasy, secretly saying that they should not come today.

"His Majesty orders."

Qianghua: "The inner government has confiscated a batch of things. The three of you are trying to find a way to get a good price for them."

The three people were shocked: "Huh?"

Qianghua: "If you sell the money, the household department will get 50% of it. The higher the price, the more money the household department will get."

The government did not make planned purchases and just wanted to make money by taking advantage of the purchasing opportunities. This resulted in more and more items that were about to expire in inventory.

In addition to the various jewelry, furniture, wood, etc. she confiscated from the embezzler's home, there is really no place to put this garbage in the warehouse.

For Qianghua, it would be more cost-effective to replace these jewelry pieces with gold and silver.

Qianghua: "Twelve, follow up on this matter."

Chamberlain Twelve: "As ordered."

In less than a cup of tea, Master Sun and his subordinates changed maps.

Internal warehouse.

Master Sun and his subordinates looked at the furniture, wood, porcelain ornaments, various fabrics and leathers, and the jewelry randomly packed in boxes that were piled in the yard, and they could not help but breathe softly.

It's not that the scene in front of me is too rich, but I'm afraid that if I breathe heavily, the accumulated things will fall and hit me, which shows how many things are piled up in the inner palace.

Twelve casually pointed to the place where the jewelry was placed, "If any of the three adults likes it, they can take it away at the market price. This is a benefit given by His Majesty to all of you."

Qianghua doesn't like these things because she has too many good things in her hands. It doesn't mean that the jewelry of the inner palace is not valuable here. After all, these are the things that are offered to the royal family. Not to mention that they are all one-in-a-million. Top quality.

Master Sun and his subordinates were also from wealthy backgrounds, and they still had the ability to appreciate jewelry. Seeing that Twelve's expression did not look like he was joking, he couldn't help but make a calculation in his mind.

Let's not mention that these things can be used as the bottom of the box for children's betrothal gifts. I just say that I bought them at the market price and asked the family steward to take them to a prosperous city outside the capital. I would have to add at least 20 to 30% to the price, right?

They don’t make much money, as long as they can fill the gap in the household department...

Thinking of this, the three people's eyes sparkled.
