Chapter 250 That’s it?

Fortunately, she still has a plug-in.

On the grounds that he needed to concentrate on checking the accounts and could not be disturbed, he asked everyone, including Tingxue, to leave the study.
Yun Shu closed the doors and windows, and after making sure that even Ah Ku and the other Dragon Shadow Guards could not see what was going on inside the house, he placed his hands on the boxes of account books and moved all of them into the villa as quickly as possible.

"so much!"

Yun Ni sat on the sofa, looking dumbfounded:
"Fortunately, I did as you said and found a lot of people, otherwise it would take a long time to finish it!"

"Is that too much?"

Yun Shu chuckled weakly:

"Then I guess not enough people are looking for it. This is just the account book of one state."

Yun Ni: “…”

Oh my god!
It is true that not everyone can be a princess!
Yun Ni swallowed silently and nodded:

"Then I'll find some more accountants later."

"Have you signed the confidentiality agreement?"

Yun Shu reminded her somewhat worriedly:
"There are so many account books, all in ancient Chinese. I hope they won't cause you any trouble."

"Don't worry, I found those accountants from all over the country. They don't know each other.

I said that these account books were passed down from my ancestors. I was bored and wanted to check whether my ancestors had made any mistakes in the calculations. These people did not doubt it.

Besides, because of my status as an artist, the compensation in the confidentiality agreement is also very high, so those people would not spread this matter around unless they are crazy. "

Yun Ni took the account book out of the box, put it on the machine and scanned it into the computer, sighing helplessly:
"Anyway, I offer a high salary, and it's easy to find an accountant.

But we have to do the scanning ourselves, page by page.”

"It's pretty good. It's better than having to do all the accounting myself."

That’s ten boxes for one state!

And all of them must be checked before the twelfth lunar month.
This amount of work would make any modern black-hearted capitalist cry!

I'm afraid those court officials who opposed the new commercial tax law are now waiting to laugh at her!
Yun Shu was scanning while feeling annoyed:
"Before, I was busy with this and that every day, and I forgot to teach these people the modern and concise accounting method in advance.
I will teach you after this is over, otherwise that shameless old man in the Ministry of Revenue will get all the credit."

"It's not cheap, won't I be doing things for you in the future?"

Yun Ni laughed:

"You will be their immediate superior from now on."

"Not always."

Yun Shu sneered:
"Then Minister Yan is older than my father."

Maybe before she took office, Minister Yan had already returned home to farm?

As they talked, they scanned the account books in their hands, which seemed to never end.
This went on for more than a month, and finally, it was the last day of November.

Yun Shu had just arrived at Xuanzheng Hall early in the morning and hadn't even stood still yet.
Minister Yan, who usually looked at her with a nose that wasn't a nose and eyes that weren't eyes, wished his chin would stick up to the sky and didn't say a word to her, was the first one to appear in front of Yun Shu for the first time:
"Your Highness, I heard that the various chambers of commerce had already sent you the account books more than a month ago.

I wonder how much business tax they paid this year?"

"Master Yan, are you planning to switch jobs and join the Chamber of Commerce?"

Yun Shu turned around with a half-smile:

"Or does Lord Yan want to step in and ask about this matter on behalf of my father?"

"Your Highness is getting better and better at joking nowadays. How dare this old minister think of interfering in your duties?"

Minister Yan also gave her a fake smile:
"It's just that the commercial tax will soon be returned to the national treasury. I have to know the general situation so that I can make room for people to store the cash in advance." "Didn't Lord Yan always say that the national treasury has been emptied by me?"

Yun Shu raised his eyebrows and directly blocked his question with what he had said before:

"It's completely empty now, what space do you need to vacate?"

"This……"

Shangshu Yan's face froze. He didn't expect that the boomerang would pierce him.

Fortunately, the arrival of Emperor Xuanwu saved him in time, as he didn't know how to respond.

All the ministers quietly returned to their respective positions, and after shouting "Long live the emperor" three times, the morning court officially began.

Yun Shu stood leisurely in the first row, listening to the ministers' verbal battles like a bystander.

Sure enough, not long after, Minister Yan stood up again and talked about the commercial tax issue.

However, this time he started to complain about being poor again, mumbling a lot about the empty treasury and how difficult his job as the Minister of Finance was.

Then he changed the subject and aimed his spearhead at Yun Shu:

“…I don’t know how much commercial tax we have collected this year, and whether it can be returned to the national treasury as soon as possible.

After all...I am really waiting for money, Your Majesty!"

"Ah."

Emperor Xuanwu responded calmly, then turned his eyes to Yun Shu who was standing in the first row to his right:

"Prince?"

"Your Majesty, all the commercial tax accounts of the thirty-four states have now been checked. Yesterday, I sent someone to write to the presidents of the chambers of commerce in each state, asking them to escort the tax silver to the capital as quickly as possible.

If nothing goes wrong, it will be delivered before the end of the year."

Did you really let her check it all?

How many account books can one person check in more than a month?

I guess the commercial taxes collected must be much lower than the agricultural taxes!

No wonder you refused to tell him the amount just now.

I'm afraid you feel ashamed too!

Minister Yan snorted in his heart, but bowed towards Yun Shu again:
"I don't know the exact amount of the commercial tax, could Your Highness reveal a little bit in advance?
If there is still some distance to fill the gap, I would like to think of other ways in advance."

"gap?"

Yun Shu looked sideways at Minister Yan with interest:

"I wonder how much of a gap Minister Yan wants to fill?"

"That's too much."

Minister Yan stood up straight and said in a chilly tone:
"It's only a month until New Year's Eve. The salaries of all officials in the court, the wages of the army, the expenses of organizing the New Year's Eve palace banquet, and a certain amount of reserve funds are needed.
"All added up, it's at least 30 million taels!"

"That's it?"

"?"

"What is this?"

Before Minister Yan announced the figure of thirty million taels, he had thought of countless possible reactions from Yun Shu.

He thought that she might be shocked, that she might point fingers at him and say he was exaggerating, or that she might be embarrassed.
But I didn't expect that she would blurt out these two words!
