The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 119 The Ministry of Revenue gives IOU

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Bai Hao has been getting up earlier and earlier recently.

At dawn that day, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man in a green gown standing at the door, as if he was about to knock on it.

Bai Hao: "Second Uncle!"

Bai Shijian: "Brother Hao!"

"Why are you here?"

"Bullshit! I can't come?"

"Come, come, I'll go call my uncle right away."

"No need, just call the housekeeper. Hurry up, I'm anxious." Bai Shijian told the people behind him to move things while saying to Bai Hao, "By the way, let me know when Zhao Zhao wakes up."

Bai Hao said earnestly: "Okay, then I'll go call Zhao Zhao over!"

"No, no, I have plenty of time to wait."

By chance, Bai Zhaozhao just happened to follow the housekeeper over: "Third uncle, why are you here?"

"Haha, Zhao Zhao got up so early! I set off as soon as I received your letter. Don't worry, everything is fine in Linyang County."

Bai Hao: ...

Finally realizing his own redundancy, Bai Hao went out.

In the courtyard, Bai Zhaozhao took out 40,000 silver notes and said to Bai Shijian, "I bought a small farm in the suburbs of Beijing, which can be used directly as a workshop. The formula this time is just an ordinary typhoid pill, but it works very quickly. I'll give you the formula for safekeeping. Just memorize it and burn it."

Bai Shijian said readily: "Okay! What is this banknote?"

"Oh, this time, one tenth of the profit will go to me, and the other tenth will go to a high-ranking official in the capital. I won't reveal the details of who it is, but you know!"

Bai Shijian understood. Isn't the role of this high official the same as that of the Princess of Qingyang County? Got it!

"Don't worry, Zhao Zhao. I will go to the outskirts of Beijing to prepare for the workshop and live there from now on. You can go there to play if you have time."

"Okay, but I'm not free recently. I have to go to Yuzhou."

Bai Shijian was stunned: "Going to Yuzhou? You?"

"Yeah, go with my brother!"

After Bai Zhaozhao's explanation, he realized that Bai Lin had been promoted to the fifth-rank Inspector. This was almost a rocket-like promotion speed, but no one envied him.

The reason is that it has not rained in Yuzhou until now, and the crops are almost dead from drought. Ji Yuanda, who went to provide disaster relief before, did not expect such a situation to occur. He has been leading people to dig more wells and rely on the well water to provide relief to the people.

But after several months, there was still no rain, and the fields were almost beyond saving. Although there was food for sale at a reasonable price, the relief food had run out, and a small number of disaster victims began to flee. He and Prefect Hu could hardly lead the people through this year's disaster, so they requested the court to send more people for support.

This time the drought is already very serious, unlike last year, and there is no grain seized by His Royal Highness Prince An. It can be said that the task is very arduous.

Then, after a heated discussion in the court, the Qin party successfully assigned this arduous task to Bai Lin, and said that if this year's top scholar and previous years' top scholars went to provide disaster relief together, it would surely become a good story.

Emperor Yongkang thought of the prophecy and agreed. Of course, he was a little worried, after all, Bai Lin had not really grown up yet.

Bai Lin accepted the task very calmly. At the same time, he was very sure that even if the emperor had asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds at its discretion, the Qin Party would not let him get the money smoothly.

Sure enough, after two days of negotiations, Bai Lin received an IOU, which stated that the debtor owed Bai Lin 200,000 taels of disaster relief silver, and that he would receive the money directly when he had the money, and also asked him to first find other ways to get some silver for disaster relief.

Wow, such a shameless guy, even Bai Zhaozhao would sigh that his face is thicker than mine.

However, Bai Zhaozhao was not worried. She had made sufficient preparations. Large quantities of food would be transported to Yuzhou by the Sihai Chamber of Commerce at the same time, including the space food she had prepared in advance.

So when they arrive in Yuzhou, they can go directly to Bai Che to get food.

Bai Lin also knew about this, but he felt that he had to do it, and his real purpose was to get the IOU from the Ministry of Households.

After arranging everything, Bai Lin and Bai Zhaozhao set off with a few servants.

Before leaving, she sent a message to Wang Jinnian and He Anyu, telling Wang Jinnian to get lost and telling He Anyu to not contact them anymore!

As for Cheng Jiayu, Bai Zhaozhao also observed him for two days. He did not react at all, nor did he propose a disaster relief plan like in the original plot.

Bai Zhaozhao thought about it and understood. Because he did not have enough points, he could not make friends with big grain merchants to raise supplies, and he could not use his "sky-high points" to pray for rain.

Very good, although she can’t pray for rain, there is a river in her space!

Disaster relief is what made Cheng Jiayu famous in the original novel. I wonder how much of his luck this will cost him? Bai Zhaozhao is looking forward to it.

Qin Mansion.

"What? Are you saying Bai Lin is already on his way? So soon?"

"Yes, he left with only a few servants, oh, and his sister."

"What about Prince An?"

"Prince An is still searching for the remnants of the Holy Light Cult and has not been in the capital recently."

"So there really is no one offering help to Bai Lin?"

"It's certain that there isn't one. Our people have been keeping an eye on Bai's house these past few days, and no outsiders have ever been to his house. The grain merchant we contacted also said that they didn't sell any grain to Bai Lin."

"Then what did he use to provide disaster relief? The northwest wind?"

"..."

Inside the palace, Emperor Yongkang was also shocked when he heard the news: "Bai Zhuangyuan just left like that? He didn't take anything with him?"

"Your Majesty, he brought Miss Bai with him."

"Oh, do you mean his sister can provide disaster relief?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I know my crime."

"Go call Rong Yue over."

"Yes."

At the same time, many people were shocked when they learned about this, feeling that Bai Lin was not going to provide disaster relief but to go on a picnic.

Three days later, Cheng Jiayu wrote a letter saying that he had discovered a new method for purifying iron ore, which could greatly reduce the current cost of making ironware, but more experiments were needed.

Emperor Yongkang was delighted after seeing this and agreed immediately. He transferred Cheng Jiayu to the Military Equipment Department of the Ministry of Works and made him a sixth-rank official. He asked him to keep it strictly confidential and to make a batch of new ironware first to see. He also sent people to protect his safety.

In Mingxiang Teahouse.

Cheng Jiayu is drinking tea with a middle-aged man.

"I never thought that once the top scholar Bai left, Cheng Tanhua would immediately become the most outstanding young man in the capital."

Cheng Jiayu was unhappy in her heart, but she smiled faintly: "Mr. Xu, you are too kind."

"I am just curious, where did Cheng Tanhua get this secret technique?"

"Naturally, I got the inspiration from the craftsman by chance, and then I asked someone to experiment with it and discovered it."

"Well, Cheng Tanhua is truly a young talent! No wonder my little sister praises him from time to time."

"Ms. Xu, you are too kind!"

"Haha, let's not beat around the bush, Mr. Cheng, I'm going to ask you directly, do you have any plans to get married?"
