Zhou Shuren followed the little eunuch and breathed a sigh of relief. He had worked hard these days, and the Ministry of Revenue was another place to work hard. In just a few days, he felt that he would live one year less.

In the main hall, the royal family looked at the memorials leisurely. Today, they were in a good mood. Not only would there be 500,000 taels of silver to be paid, but more would be added in two days. The silver for resettlement and dam repairs after the floods in the south were also released. The beginning of the memorials that were impatient in the past can be read today.

The emperor did not raise his head when he heard the footsteps, "Did you find out?"

The prince went to see Zhou Shuren for leave from his father. When he met the minister in the palace, he could not hide it from anyone. It was better to be generous. "No, Zhou Shuren's reply seemed rigorous but left a living message. My son still had doubts in his heart."

The emperor didn't think about going to be serious. Whether it was the small movements behind Zhou Shuren or no movements, the result was good, and he didn't need to investigate them. "Sometimes, you're still too young."

This matter took a lot of effort and was not worth it.

The prince lowered his head and was taught, "I understand."

The emperor continued: "Whether Zhou Shuren or all officials are going to trim them, it is not too late for them to cross the line. However, if you challenge them again and again, you don't have to be ruthless to them. Yes, you have to have a measure of officials yourself."

His standards are not suitable for the prince, so the prince needs to explore his own standards and bottom line. When the prince understands how to use and control it, he will be relieved.

In the evening, Zhou Shuren returned home, which surprised the whole family.

Zhulan asked, "Why are you back today?"

Zhou Shuren moved his shoulders, "The bank has been calculated. Now that the money donated by the Xu family is under the foundation, the Ministry of Revenue is no longer nervous, and they will all go home to rest today."

Zhulan took the change of clothes and took advantage of the fact that Mrs. Song went out and asked, "How much has the Xu family donated?"

"Five hundred thousand taels of silver."

Zhulan widened her eyes, "My God, I just took out 500,000 taels of silver. The Xu family is really hidden deep enough."

And it took a day to get a reminder yesterday. This was not raised, but the existing deposit of the Xu family.

Zhou Shuren sighed, "I can also think of so many things. When we met the Xu family, the Xu family was just a small merchant. It has only been so many years since we were backing against the prince, and it has been many times more."

Zhulan focused on the key points, "So the maritime merchants really make money, but Mr. Xu is also a character. The small merchants we saw at the beginning may also be Xu's home decoration!"

Zhou Shuren changed his clothes, "Who knows, this time the Xu family got their wish."

Seeing that there was no one in the room, Zhou Shuren whispered in his wife's ear to the prince, "Wait a while to go to the study, I will tell Chang Lian that you will also say a few words to the third wife."

Zhulan nodded, "I understand."

At the dinner table, Chang Lian waited for his father to sit down, "Dad, the matter of donating money will be sent to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow after the Hanlin Academy has finished counting."

Zhou Shuren took a few bites of vegetables and then said, "You are Shujishi, how many have you donated?"

Chang Lian said: "My family is well off and I donated ten taels. The other Shujishi's family background is not very good. There are also one tael or two taels, but the most ten taels in our house."

Rong Chuan answered, "There are not many people in our house, the most are ten taels."

Zhou Shuren said that he knew, just do what he could, "Send it to you early tomorrow so as not to queue up in the back."

In the past, I had to queue up for money, but this time I had to queue up for money.

Chang Lian was so curious that he couldn't do it, "Dad, where are you? How much money do you want to donate?"

Zhou Shuren remembered that he had not mentioned to his wife yet, "Five hundred taels, the Zhou family has just entered Beijing, and although they have moved several times, they have not investigated it."
