Looking at her stubborn eyes, Zhu Youxiao smiled and shook his head.

This was already the second couple he had seen since coming to Daming...

The previous couple was Wei Jinyu and Shi Bowen!

He took off a jade pendant from his waist and placed it on the table.

"No matter what, you also came from the palace, so I am half your family."

"This jade pendant is my dowry to you!"

"But you still have to stay in the Dongjiang Army. You can be transferred back to the capital after three years!"

Niu Zi was overjoyed and quickly pulled Youtong to kneel down.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"I will definitely find someone more suitable than me to take over the position of the chief physician of the Dongjiang Army within these three years!"

Yutong also grinned, smiling as if he had eaten honey, and kept kowtowing there.

When the two of them were leaving, they even held hands in front of Zhu Youxiao. The affectionate look on their faces made the Jinyiwei guarding the gate couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Upon seeing this, Yutong kicked him and said angrily, "What are you looking at! Have you never seen it before or held it before?"

The Jinyiwei smiled and dodged, saying jokingly: "I have held the hand of a girl before, but I dare not even dream of someone as beautiful as Niu Yiling..."

Yutong glared at him, took out a silver ingot from his arms and threw it over.

"Stop talking nonsense to us, use this to treat our brothers to a drink!"

"Remember, only go when it's worth it!"

The Jinyiwei happily took it and said, "On behalf of my brothers, I would like to thank Captain Yu for the reward!"

"I wish you and Dr. Niu a happy marriage and a long life together!"

Yutong nodded at him with satisfaction: "Thank you for your good words!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, pulling Niu Zi.

Just after taking two steps, the Jinyiwei's voice came again.

"Captain You, I wish you and Doctor Niu will be united forever and treat each other with respect!"

This time, Niu Zi smiled happily, and his eyes curved into crescents.

Going further, the Jinyiwei has not stopped yet.

"I wish you a happy and harmonious marriage!"

Keep going, the blessings behind you will continue.

"I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness, and may you have a son soon..."

The last sentence was abruptly stopped before it was finished, and the Jinyiwei's heart instantly rose to his throat.

Damn, I spoke too quickly and said something wrong...

He stared at Ou Tong's figure with trembling heart. After a long time, he realized that Ou Tong didn't seem to hear clearly, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

But in fact, not only Youtong heard this sentence, Niu Zi also heard it very clearly!

"Aren't you going back to beat him up?"

Niu Zi asked with a smile.

Yutong grinned and shook his head: "He said something auspicious, why should we go back and beat him up! What if it comes true?"

Niu Zi looked at him with some amusement: "Then I'll bring you a green hat, and giving birth to a baby won't be like playing?"

Yutong's face turned serious. He reached out and pushed Niu Zi against the palace wall next to him. He stared into her eyes and spoke very seriously.

"We know that marrying us is a bit unfair to you."

"But our family knows exactly what you are doing in the medical school!"

"One day, I will ask the emperor to show mercy and help me put those two eggs back!"

"The Emperor is the Holy Lord, he will definitely agree!"

"By then, you have to give birth to ten children for our family!"

"No, you have to give birth to a hundred children for our family!"

The words are affectionate and heartfelt.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Niu Zi grabbed his ears.

"You are so good, you are going to treat me like a pig, right?"

"One hundred more!"

"Come on, I'm going to test your skills now!"

After saying that, without caring what other people nearby thought, he grabbed his ear and walked towards his residence.

Chapter 310 Another IOU from Guo Yunhou

Zhu Youxiao stayed in Shenyang for another three days and officially set off for Shaanxi on May 20th.

During these three days, Lin Danhan obtained the weapons and armor he wanted. After leaving behind 15,000 war horses, he led his subordinates to leave Shenyang and head straight for the grassland.

Zhu Youxiao's imperial edict was also sent to the capital on May 20th.

Afterwards, Wang Chengen rushed to the Ministry of Revenue with the entourage of the Western Factory.

Guo Yunhou was sitting in the lobby processing official documents. When he saw him coming, his old face instantly turned dark.

"Why did Mr. Wang come here?"

Wang Chengen chuckled, walked to his desk, and sat down on the chair brought by his attendant, without any intention of being polite.

"Look at what Minister Guo said. Can't we come to the Ministry of Revenue if we have nothing to do?"

"Minister Guo, please don't forget that our family is now a creditor of the Ministry of Revenue."

"How about paying some interest first?"

Guo Yunhou was so angry!

The one who owed the money was his grandson, and he could only endure the arrogance of the creditor.

Most of the 10 million taels of silver he had borrowed from the Western Factory had already been lost. He didn't know how much it would cost to provide disaster relief in Shanxi and Shaanxi, so he had no money to pay the interest.

He could only put on a smile towards Wang Chengen and personally poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.

"Look at what you said, father-in-law. Why are you in such a hurry for the interest? Come on, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat first."

"It's so hot, listen to your voice, it's broken..."

Wang Chengen took the tea and took a sip, but as soon as it entered his mouth, he spat it out in disgust.

"I bother!"

"Is this tea? Minister Guo, is he using the tea foam to complain to us about his poverty?"

Guo Yunhou was embarrassed: "What are you talking about, Eunuch Wang? You should know how much wealth the Ministry of Revenue has!"

"I'm not complaining about my poverty to you, I'm really poor!"

"I have made eight cups of tea with this pot of broken tea foam, and I still can't bear to throw it away......"

"A little flavor is better than plain water, isn't it?"

Wang Chengen shook his head in disdain: "You! This is the first time I've seen a Minister of Revenue who is this poor!"

"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. Are you worried about the lack of food for disaster relief?"

Guo Yunhou was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he nodded frantically.

"That's right!"

"I haven't slept for three days. I've been busy looking for food everywhere!"

Wang Chengen smiled, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it over: "Come, sign it, and you will have food after signing it!"

Guo Yunhou widened his eyes and looked at the contents written on the paper with an expression of disbelief.

【IOU】

Today, we have borrowed 3 million dan of polished japonica rice from Xichang, with an annual interest rate of 5% (compound interest), and are required to pay it back within three years. In case of default, an additional penalty of 10% of the total amount unpaid will be added each year as penalty interest.

Department for borrowing grain: Ministry of Revenue

Person in charge:

First person responsible:

May _____, the eighth year of Tianqi

“This, this, this…”

"Where did you get so much food from your West Factory?"

After reading it, Guo Yunhou began to tremble uncontrollably.

Three million shi of grain is enough to feed the people in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces for three months!

It is not possible to have enough food, but it can prevent people from starving to death!

As long as we can delay it, we can buy time. After three months, the situation will definitely improve!

Wang Chengen smiled and pointed to the north: "I won't hide it from you. The emperor sent people to the south to buy grain as early as last year!"

"These three million shi of grain were brought back by Wei Liangqing!"

Guo Yunhou then remembered that a large number of grain trucks had indeed entered the city some time ago. At that time, the drought was not as serious as it is now, so he did not take it too seriously.

Now it seems......

"hiss!"

He took a breath and an incredible thought flashed through his mind.

Your Majesty actually knew that there would be a drought in Shanshan as early as last year?

Otherwise, how could such sufficient preparations be made in advance!

Three million shi of grain, this is not a small number!

Looking at the IOU in front of him, he looked helpless.

If they don’t sign, the people of Shaanxi will have no food to eat.

But if you sign it, you will be in debt again!

The previous 18 million taels of silver, plus these 3 million dan of grain, when will it be possible to pay off the debt?

The disaster was urgent and there was no other way, so he could only bite the bullet and pick up the brush to write his name on it.

Then he pushed the IOU back with a frustrated look on his face: "Thank you, eunuch, for arranging the handover as soon as possible!"

Wang Chengen put away the note and smiled, "Minister Guo, you are too polite. I will go back and arrange it right away."

But just as he was about to go out, he stopped.

"Oh, Minister Guo, His Majesty has ordered you to arrange the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and go to Shaanxi to accompany the Emperor."

Guo Yunhou was somewhat bewildered: "Why did His Majesty suddenly ask me to accompany him?"

Wang Chengen shook the IOU in his hand and said, "Of course I'll go over and sign it!"

"Don't you think that these three million shi of grain can solve the drought in Shanxi and Shaanxi?"

Guo Yunhou was stunned............

Asking me to accompany him was just to sign the IOU at any time? ?

OMG!

When have I ever seen such an emperor!

No, it's the creditor...

By the time he reacted, Wang Chengen had already walked out of the Ministry of Revenue lobby.
