Chapter 583: Ill-gotten Gains, Time to Recoup

he must have had a targeted purpose. Perhaps the Crown Prince valued his decisive nature and ability to clean up the officialdom of Xishan Province in the shortest possible time.""The word 'kill' sou...Chapter 583: Unjust Wealth, Shall Be Collected

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your generosity."

Dantai Jing stood up and thanked him sincerely.

A full four hundred and fifty taels of gold. Although it was just a drop in the bucket compared to the massive undertaking, it was the most money he could currently raise.

Therefore, Dantai Jing readily accepted this first "unrighteous wealth" in his life and was somewhat grateful to Li Yinhu.

"No, it's my pleasure..."

Because the gift-giving went too smoothly, Li Yinhǔ found it a bit hard to accept.

All the prepared lines he had were useless now, and he found himself at a loss for words.

"The old man still has one request."

Dantai Jing glanced at the three trays. Without finishing his words, the expression on his face clearly wrote two words: not enough.

Li Yinhu was dumbfounded.

Is this still the world-renowned sage

Not only does he not refuse the money he sent himself, but he also wants more

This was completely beyond Li Yinhou's expectations.

At this moment, Dantai Jingzhi's performance is so brazen that even a timid corrupt official wouldn't dare to act like this. Let alone a sage.

However, such a good opportunity to curry favor with Dai Jingzhi, he wouldn't miss it.

So, after understanding Dai Jing's meaning, Li Yinhu knew that he didn't have much money left at his disposal. But he still gritted his teeth and said: "Sir, rest assured, I still have some savings of silver. I will immediately order someone to bring it all up."

Saying that, he immediately got up and left the room.

Outside, the butler stood ready to obey any command.

"How much silver is left in the treasury" Li Yinhǔ asked in a low voice.

The steward was taken aback for a moment before replying, "Returning to your Royal Highness, there should still be about four or five thousand taels of silver available in the warehouse."

"Take it all." Li Yinhu gritted his teeth.

The house steward widened his eyes and hurriedly said, "My lord, the expenses of the manor have been considerable recently. If we took out all of it, it would be very difficult."

Li Yinhu, since he became a prince, had little real power, let alone any money saved up.

Even though he is now a prince with a high salary, it's still relatively speaking.

Whether it's a prince or a royal, unless they are sent to govern a province elsewhere, their only source of income is the monthly stipend and the money and silver bestowed by the emperor during festivals.

It seems like a considerable sum, but the Prince's Mansion has large expenses. Maintaining a balance between income and expenditure is considered good housekeeping.

Still the same words, the prince's family has no grain reserves, let alone a prince with little actual power.

Li Yinhu couldn't care less at the moment, gritting his teeth and saying: "You still concern yourself with my affairs Just take it if you want to, where did all this nonsense come from!"

Seeing Li Yinhu getting angry, the steward dared not say another word and immediately went to the storeroom to fetch the silver.

Back in the house, Li Yinhu, though hurting inside, politely said to Dantai Jingzhi, “Sir, please wait a moment. The silver will be here immediately.”

Although Li Yinhu's heart was bleeding when he said this, he still comforted himself that these were small sums of money. It was better to spend some money than lose everything. If Dantang Jingzhi relied on him, the support of all scholars in the world would be within his grasp. This was something that no amount of silver could buy.

"The prince is righteous!"

Dàntái Jìngzhi arched his hands and said sincerely, "In the future, all scholars in the world will certainly appreciate the magnanimity of the Prince today."

Still worrying about spending all the silver this time, where will next month's household expenses come from Li Yinhǔ smiled when he heard this, taking it as a hint from Dantái Jìngzhī.Chapter 612: Rage!
