Stunning Phoenix Emperor

Chapter 222

"So fast?" Su Hanxiao put down the teacup in his hand and looked at him curiously.
Yun Qian ignored her, pushed away the things on the table, spread out a piece of paper, picked up a pen and began to write quickly.
Su Hanxiao stood up, walked behind him, looked over intently, and saw that the paper was full of strings of numbers and some terms that she didn't understand very well, but she didn't know what it meant when they were coherent.
"Hanxiao, you won't let it go so easily, will you?" Mei Ruoshui said suddenly.
"Of course..." Su Hanxiao sneered, looking at the sky, it was only an hour, and it was very early before dark.
Seeing her malicious smile, Mei Ruoshui couldn't help but secretly lamented for Rong Jue, and bless her that Her Majesty the Empress Dowager is in a good mood today, so she won't die so ugly!
"It's done." Yun Qian stood up all of a sudden.
Su Hanxiao glanced at him, but still couldn't understand, so he just looked at him directly.
"I've already sorted out these things." Yun Qian said lightly, "Shangshu Rong may not be as clear as I am about the economic situation in the past ten years, unless she gathers all the officials in charge of various specific affairs."
Su Hanxiao couldn't help but rolled her eyes, that was simply impossible.Rong Jue can only trip her up, find fault with her, and evade her, but he must not confront her head-on, otherwise it will be against the imperial edict of the empress.
Slowly sitting down in front of the desk, she tapped the table with her fingers, smiled lightly, took an account book and spread it out, raised her head and said: "Ruoshui, tell the people outside, please allow the adults to come over."
"Okay." Although Mei Ruoshui didn't know what she wanted to do, she still nodded and went out to spread the word.
Yunqian immediately took out the veil and put it on again.
"So afraid of being recognized?" Su Hanxiao raised his eyebrows.
"One more thing is worse than one less thing." Yun Qian said coldly, and disappeared into the corner of the room.
When Mei Ruoshui came back and saw that they had changed positions, she didn't say much, and brought another cup of tea over.
"Did Ruoshui learn it specially?" Su Hanxiao looked at him with a smile on his face.
"Who would learn this specifically?" Mei Ruoshui turned her head away, and said after a while, "It's just that Baili often does it like this."
"Oh." Su Hanxiao deliberately elongated her voice, not to expose him.
Forget it, anyway, he is the cutest because of his duplicity!
Soon, Rong Jue rushed over, leaned over and said, "What orders does Your Highness have?"
"My lord Rong, I don't understand your Highness here, please advise me." Su Han smiled and pointed to the ledger on the table.
"I dare not take advice." Rong Jue hurried forward.
Su Hanxiao didn't miss the disdain and schadenfreude that flashed in her eyes, pushed the ledger, and pointed at a line without looking at it: "It's here."
Rong Jue saw those words clearly, and was taken aback for a moment before he said, "His Royal Highness, here are the tax revenues of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River last year. Is there any problem?"
"The problem is that there is no problem. I just want to ask Mr. Rong to talk about it in detail." Su Hanxiao said without thinking.
"Yes, Your Highness." Although Rong Jue was a little puzzled, she couldn't tell if she was really ignorant, finding fault, or taking school exams. Fortunately, she was very familiar with taxation, especially the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Sixty percent of Yong's tax revenue is accounted for, so it's logical to speak out at the moment.
It seems that although this Hubu Shangshu belongs to Rongyan's family, he is not considered a fool.
Su Hanxiao listened and memorized it attentively, but on the surface she seemed indifferent and absent-minded.
In fact, Rong Jue didn't care how much she listened to. If she had to say, it would be better for this princess to know nothing.
"Okay, okay, I understand, I have Mrs. Lao Rong." Su Han said with a smile.
"Then I will not disturb Your Highness and continue to study." Rong Jue retreated with a smile on his face.
"Hanxiao, what are you doing?" Mei Ruoshui asked in confusion.
"It's boring." Su Han shrugged with a smile, and spit out an answer that made people angry.
"Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable to see that face?" Mei Ruoshui remained expressionless.
"Well... Maybe Master Shangshu is more uncomfortable." Su Han said with a smile.
So you're trying to find fault?Mei Ruoshui was speechless for a while, but just asked her to come over to explain a tax issue?It really... makes him not know what to say.
"Ah, by the way, I forgot just now, and I have to ask here." Su Hanxiao slapped his head suddenly, and said with a smile, "Ruoshui, send someone to invite Master Shangshu back!"
Mei Ruoshui was stunned, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she went out to call someone.
After a while, Rong Jue, who had just returned to the office, was called back by the attendants who followed.
"What orders does Your Highness have?" Rong Jue asked as he wiped the sweat from running out.
"Also here, please allow me to give you some advice." Su Hanxiao knocked on the ledger on the table and said.
"Yes." Rong Jue took a breath, and when he saw it, black lines appeared on his face, "His Highness also served as a military supervisor in Mingyue Pass for a while, so he should be familiar with military affairs. May I ask what is the problem with the payment of the military salary?"
"It's a big problem." Originally, Su Hanxiao did not look carefully at what she was pointing at, but when she heard this, she glanced over the paper, and she could still understand the figure of a single payment, and she immediately felt He asked a question, "My Highness is at Mingyue Pass. I chatted with soldiers in my spare time, and I also asked them how much their salaries are. This figure seems a little different?"
"Your Highness." Rong Jue said hastily, "Frontier troops and local troops, expeditionary troops and permanent garrison troops all have different salaries."
"Is that so?" Su Hanxiao stared at her.
"Exactly." Rong Jue couldn't help avoiding her eyes, and said bravely.
