Chapter 120 The smallest debt collector in history

"Call those old men into the palace."

The emperor looked ugly and clenched his fists.

The treasury is empty, there is no money for disaster relief, and these bitches still refuse to repay their debts!

"Announce..." the prince announced to a large group of courtiers.

They are all veterans with gray hair and beards.

Everyone lowered their eyebrows and knelt on the ground as soon as they entered the door.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to devote myself to Beizhao until my death. But I really have no money." One minister burst into tears and even opened his trouser legs to show Your Majesty the patches under his official uniform.

When he entered the house, he cried about poverty first and blocked his mouth to collect debts.

The emperor's face turned gloomy.

The old minister straightened up and said with a determined look on his face: "Your Majesty, I am willing to donate my salary for three years to do my best for the Beizhao victims!"

Another veteran minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to be corrupt. I only live on my salary every year. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay the money I owe you. But I can donate the house in the mansion. I... am willing to rent a house with my family." "

Emperor: Very good. Then rumors will spread that I treat the courtiers harshly.

"Your Majesty, I still have one thousand two hundred taels in my account, and I am willing to donate all of them."

"Your Majesty, my first wife still has some dowry..."

Seeing that what they said was becoming more and more unbearable, the emperor raised his hand.

"I'm just asking you if each family can cough up 30,000 taels!" There are 18 people who have borrowed money in total. If you pay 30,000 taels, you can still get back hundreds of thousands.

The courtiers all looked troubled.

There was an eerie silence in the royal study.

The Minister of Household Affairs complained endlessly: "My lords, please help me. You have borrowed money for decades, up to one million taels. Now, Beizhao is short of money, and it is time to pay it back." All this followed the late emperor. A veteran who conquered the world.

When he was conferred the title of Marquis and became the Prime Minister, the late Emperor took pity on the founding heroes because they had no money in their accounts, so he approved IOUs for all the important ministers one after another.

For example, the Minister of Civil Affairs borrowed a small amount of thirty thousand taels.

But he borrowed many valuable calligraphy and paintings from the treasury, which cannot be measured in money.

For example, Prince Heshuo, the late emperor only had one brother, so he approved a full one hundred thousand taels of silver!

For example, the protector of the country did not borrow much, only fifty thousand taels of silver.

For example, the father-in-law of the country, Empress Dowager Xiao’s natal family, borrowed 150,000 yuan! Here today is my uncle, the emperor's uncle.

The Minister of Rites was also among them, but he didn't borrow much, just twenty or thirty thousand.

This group of people are all of high seniority.

He made great contributions to Beizhao.

Lin Lin finally settled down, and as soon as the late emperor ascended the throne, he approved a loan worth millions.

So far, no one has repaid.

This huge number makes people’s scalp numb.

The courtiers knelt down and trembled. Lu Chaochao held the sandwich biscuits in his hands and gnawed them loudly.

The one-and-a-half-year-old baby already has nine teeth.

They look like millet grains and are particularly cute.

I just can't bite hard things.

"I only ask you for thirty thousand taels!

The emperor spoke again.

"I have worked hard and diligently for Beizhao, and I am willing to sacrifice my life for Beizhao. But I really have no money."

"I am willing to do my best for Beizhao and serve the imperial court, but thirty thousand taels..."

Uncle Guo even sighed: "Uncle is really helpless."

[Hahahahaha...] Lu Chaochao laughed in his heart, especially arrogantly.

The prince gently rubbed his ears. These people were all the elders left behind by the late emperor. He couldn't speak too harshly, lest he hurt the old minister's heart.

It's really annoying.

[They can live for Beizhao and die by Beizhao, but they can't pay thirty thousand taels. 】

[Because they really have thirty thousand taels. Hahaha. Mr. Guozhang, he also said that there is nothing he can do, so he can pull him down. He is the richest. ] Lu Chaochao complained mercilessly in his heart.

The little mouth is like a squirrel, clicking and clicking.

"roll!"

The emperor had a sullen face and watched helplessly as the old minister retreated.

"A bunch of old immortals! They rely on their seniority to suppress me!"

The prince sighed and poured the emperor a cup of tea: "Father, calm down your anger. The late emperor couldn't get back this money, let alone you?"

When the late emperor passed away, he also mentioned this money.

But I didn't get a cent back.

Now that they were old, they believed that they had founded the country and conquered the world. The emperor did not want to be accused of treating the founding heroes harshly, and he did not dare to use heavy medicine.

"This world is still the Xie family's, it's not their turn to be arrogant! A bunch of old people, relying on their old age to live up to their old age!" The emperor was really angry.

"Your Majesty, why do you need to ask for money, so as not to hurt the feelings of the emperor and his ministers?"

"It's better to let others ask for it." Seeing that His Majesty was so angry, the prince hurriedly comforted him.

"Others? Those idiots from the Ministry of Finance will only complain about their poverty to me. They will not collect debts! They are a bunch of losers! What's the use of raising them!"

The Minister of Hube lowered his head silently.

I felt aggrieved, His Majesty didn't even dare, how could he dare?

The prince glanced at Lu Chaochao. The little guy's feet were swinging on the chair and he was eating happily.

Well, he had a bold idea.

"Father, I have a plan."

"Since he relies on his old age and is unreasonable, let's also send someone who is unreasonable." The prince pursed his lips lightly, with a smile in his eyes.

The prince pursed his lips towards Lu Chaochao.

"The child is young and ignorant. He will not offend anyone if he says or does something wrong."

"Besides, you have seen Chao Chao's ability before." God can summon him.

The emperor looked at her suspiciously, one and a half years old to collect debts? ?

Is the prince crazy?

The prince had an enchanting confidence in Lu Chaochao and carried her to the desk, where she happened to sit on the memorial.

"Chaochao, can you do the prince a favor? If it works, will the prince give you a favor?" Xie Chengxi smiled like a wolf grandma.

"What's the benefit?" She didn't ask about anything, just the benefit.

"I will give you 10% of what I get back. How about it?"

Lu Chaochao sat up straight in an instant, and then stretched out a fleshy finger.

After counting ten fingers, he took off his socks again, revealing his soft feet.

As I kept counting, I always felt something was wrong.

He hit his head angrily, it was so annoying.

Damn it, she is returning to her true nature more and more and is assimilated.

"If you ask for one hundred thousand taels, I will give you ten thousand. If I ask for one million taels, I will give you one hundred thousand taels. How about that? Moreover, your mother is not allowed to take this money away!"

"You have made such a great contribution, how about your father giving you a favor?" The prince winked at the emperor.

The emperor's eyes brightened slightly and he said in a deep voice: "If you can really collect your debt, I..."

"How about I accept you as my adopted daughter, give you a jade certificate, and be a serious princess?"

He secretly rubbed his hands together, hey, I really appreciate his wit.

The debt came back, and Chaochao became his daughter as she wished.

Lu Chaochao gave him a disgusted look.

"Only if Liangqin agrees." Dad can't admit it blindly. It will hurt if mother hits someone.

The emperor nodded.

"That's okay."

The emperor immediately issued an order, and Lu Chaochao followed the order to collect debts.

The smallest debt collector in history.

One and a half years old.
