"this…"

He then turned to look at Fan Jian.

This is a really difficult question to answer.

Lee Seung-seon was amused.

This guy's attention has always been focused on money.

The system automatically ignored the words "Golden River" and "Flower Queen".

Fan Jian shook his head with a wry smile.

"This child is hopeless."

Li Chengxian smiled slightly and nodded.

Versace looked puzzled and tilted his head, saying:

Am I not wrong?

Think about it, no matter how beautiful the girl is.

That belongs to someone else, no matter how little money they have.

Once you put it in your pocket, it's yours.

If the silver were piled up like a mountain.

It feels so delicate and smooth to the touch.

Lying on it to sleep is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

"Fuck."

Fan Xian even swore, and couldn't help but look at his old father.

"Did you teach this?"

Fan Jian looked completely innocent.

"That's absolutely impossible. I've always let the three of you grow up freely."

Li Chengxian nodded, pointed to Versace, and said:

"That's true, but I feel that if things continue like this..."

"Our esteemed Vice Minister of Revenue, Lord Fan, is likely to have no heir."

That makes sense.

Fan Jian also looked bitter and resentful, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

I'm afraid Versace will get a beating when he gets back.

"Look at what you're saying, but I'm still here."

Fan Xian looked at Li Chengxian, tilted his head and smiled:

"I think I can contribute to the expansion of the Fan family, don't you think, Father?"

"Hmm." Fan Jian stroked his beard with a look of satisfaction.

"That makes sense. Versace will probably only be able to spend the rest of his life with money."

As a father, I even thought that when I got back, I would find someone to verify it.

See if he has any other problems.

"Then how about I also enjoy the treatment of a young master from the Fan family who cherishes flowers and spends a fortune?"

As he spoke, Fan Xian rubbed his hands together and looked at Fan Jian with anticipation.

Li Chengxian was also curious about how Fan Jian would respond to this open scheme.

Unexpectedly, Fan Jian took off the brocade pouch from his waist and slapped it into Fan Xian's hand.

"That's all I have. It's all that I painstakingly saved up."

When Fan Xian opened it, he saw a dozen or so taels of loose silver and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Li Chengxian couldn't help but tap the table and laugh loudly:

"Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? You're the dignified Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the God of Wealth of the Qing Kingdom's court."

Don't you usually carry some banknotes or something?

Upon hearing this, Fan Jian shuddered and, with his arms crossed, addressed Li Chengxian:

"Your Highness is too kind. No matter how much silver there is, it belongs to the Qing Kingdom."

Li Chengxian waved his hand.

"It's alright. The God of Wealth of my Qing Kingdom is indeed generous, and he will occasionally check the cargo information."

Making a quick buck is no problem; otherwise, what will others think of my Qing Kingdom?

If your clothing, food, shelter, and transportation are meager, then you are truly unworthy of this position.

Fan Jian immediately laughed.

"Your Highness's words are truly astonishing; this old minister is in awe."

Even Fan Xian secretly gave a thumbs up when he heard this.

Who knew?

Li Chengxian changed the subject and asked:

"Why does Lord Fan only have a dozen or so taels of silver on him?"

These words immediately drew the attention of Fan Xian and the other two.

Versace first tentatively extended one hand.

It's clearly saying, "How about you give me some too?"

To his surprise, Fan Jian glared at him.

Li Chengxian secretly gave Fan Sizhe a look.

The latter immediately understood.

Regarding matters concerning silver.

Versace's little head is a testament to his wisdom!

He was immediately overjoyed and boldly rushed forward.

Start digging.

He completely ignored Fan Jian's speechless expression.

A moment later.

Amidst everyone's expectant expressions...

Versace found a silver note.

I excitedly opened it, then froze on the spot.

Then, turning to Li Chengxian, he said:

"Your Highness, please take a look. Do I not recognize some of the characters?"

It says "five taels" here, instead of "five thousand" or "fifty thousand."

Li Chengxian suppressed a laugh, took the package, and opened it.

He nodded.

"It really is five taels of silver."

You searched their entire body, and that's all?

I'm afraid even a meal at Yishiju wouldn't be enough.

Fan Xian subconsciously asked:

"Father, is this all the silver you've amassed over the years?"

"How dare you speak like that? As an official, I am honest, upright, and incorruptible..."

As they were talking, Fan Jian noticed Li Chengxian's gaze, sighed, and added a comment.

“I’m destitute, you wouldn’t believe it. Ever since I married your aunt, every time I come back to the mansion…”

That very night, they were completely ransacked, and the next day when they went out, they were absolutely penniless.

In addition, during this time, I've been visiting His Majesty and His Highness, so I haven't had a chance to make a single penny.

As he spoke, he bowed to Li Chengxian.

"I hope Your Highness will forgive me. This old minister has come empty-handed both times. I have heard that even the Emperor would not do such a thing."

There's really nothing worth mentioning.

After saying that, his old face immediately turned red.

Li Chengxian clicked his tongue twice.

"Then wouldn't I have to ask my mother to let me spend money like water?"

Versace tilted his head, deep in thought.

"No, I have to think of a way. Oh right, Mother always wants me to study."

Then I'll go out and hire someone who earns one tael a month, and I'll say it's fifty taels.

In that case, it would be 49 taels a month, and 588 taels a year. I'd hire ten or eight of them.

"That's five or six thousand taels! We're rich!"

cough cough.

Fan Xian hurriedly covered his mouth, preventing the tea from spitting out.

It choked me so much that tears came to my eyes.
