Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"My lord, you can only rest assured if you watch and handle your affairs yourself."

"Xiaopeng, you can speak well after learning from your father, hehe"

"My lord, you didn't eat a few mouthfuls of lunch and went to work again. Would you like to ask the dining room to cook some porridge for you?"

"What time is it now?"

"Go back to your lord, it's almost time for you"

"Let's wait for dinner." Defang rubbed her belly, "How about first... bring two pieces of snacks."

"Yes, my lord, sit down."

"My back hurts after sitting for a long time, it's all right, go and get it."

After Xiaopeng left, Defang was walking in the small garden, and Chongming Shangen followed. At this moment, Jin Yingshi came over, "See you, my lord."

"Finance Treasury, what's the matter?"

"Yes, my lord." Jin Yingshi looked at Chongming Shangen, "My lord, yes... it's a private matter, can you..."

"Huh? Private matter?" Defang looked at Jin Yingshi, and then asked Chongming Shangen to step back a little, "Finance Treasury, is there something wrong at home?"

"It's not at home, it's... it's in the mansion."

"In the mansion? The lonely king didn't understand, why is the mansion a private matter?"

"My lord, it's not a matter of a humble position, it's a matter of Eunuch Baili."

"Baili? What happened to Baili?"

"For more than ten days after the lord returned to Beijing, Eunuch Baili would come to Beizhi every day to get some silver taels, so I wanted to come here to ask the lord if there is anything wrong with Eunuch Baili."

"Take silver taels? Hehehe" Defang laughed, "He took silver taels, what did you say to Gu Wang?"

"My lord, Baili Gonggong took away all his monthly salary."

"Take it all away? That's nothing, it's his own silver taels."

"My lord, but...too many."

"how many?"

"About 8000 taels."

"8000 taels? This guy really has a lot of money."

"Yes, my lord, Eunuch Baili has served the lord for 33 years, and including the rewards you gave him, it is now a total of 8000 taels."

"Well, it's true. After saving so much money, I can really buy a big house in the future, hire a few people, and live a comfortable life."

"My lord, is Baili Gonggong going to buy a house?"

"I haven't heard him say that he wants to buy it."

"That Baili Gonggong took all 8000 taels away, which is too strange."

"It's a little bit, but he took away his own silver, so he can do whatever he wants."

"But my lord, if Baili Gonggong didn't buy a house, there must be something wrong with taking so much silver."

"What can he do? This guy just likes to be funny. Maybe he wants to put the silver taels in the room and watch it for fun, hehehe." Defang smiled. Will do bad things, the money and objects in this treasury, except for the lonely king and the empress, can be withdrawn at will by Baili, not to mention that he took away his own 8000 taels, he can take any more 8000 taels."

"But lord, Baili Gonggong seems to be really...really short of money."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"After Baili Gonggong took away 8000 taels, he also advanced two years' monthly salary from the humble official, a total of 480 taels."

"Really?" Defang thought for a while, "The Treasury, give him another 100 taels of gold and ten taels of silver tomorrow."

"Huh? 100 taels of gold?"

"Yes, the lonely king promised to give it to him."

"The prince promised to give it to Baili Gonggong? Did the prince know that Baili Gonggong wanted to use the silver taels?"

"No, the lonely king rewarded him during the southern tour."

"My lord, why don't you ask Mr. Baili what he is doing with so much silver?"

"The lonely king is too lazy to ask him, just give it to him."

"But my lord..."
