Chapter 144: When You Smile, You Dont Look Like Him! (1 / 2)
Especially the Vice Minister of Revenue.
Every time he thought about Xu Yanmiao’s comment—”You’re the Vice Minister of Revenue, the one managing the court’s finances!”—his face burned with embarrassment.
What’s so special about being the Vice Minister of Revenue? Does being in charge of the treasury automatically mean he must understand the feasibility of issuing Baochao? Can’t a Vice Minister of Revenue simply be skilled at using an abacus?
—Clearly, that wasn’t acceptable. The Vice Minister could afford to be lenient with himself, but the old emperor was undoubtedly strict with his ministers.
The Vice Minister of Revenue fumed inwardly, then… silently shut his mouth and strained to hear how Xu Yanmiao would explain the matter.
The entire court was waiting for Xu Yanmiao.
Meanwhile, Xu Yanmiao was panicking internally—
[Doesn’t a single person in this entire court know how bad this idea is? Can’t someone step up and persuade the old emperor?]
The officials were even more anxious than he was.
