Chapter 85 Kneeling

In the Ministry of Revenue.

Because of the sarcasm and bullying from a few petty officials of the ninth rank.

Lan Yongzhen and Guo Yuchuang were already in pieces, their faces filled with grief and anger, and the sight of their brokenness was heartbreaking.

But this is the Ministry of Revenue.

He did not receive his official salary, but was fined three months' salary by the Ministry of Revenue.

The ambassador of the Yizi Library had a defiant look on his face and stared at Lan Yongzhen and Guo Yuchuang.

"Yes or no!"

"As long as you behave well today, I will accept this official document and reward you with all the money and food you need."

The two big pieces of shit didn't mention kneeling at all, but every sentence they said was directly directed at Lan Yongzhen and Guo Yuchuang.

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue who were watching the excitement nearby also started shouting again.

"kneel!"

"kneel!"

"kneel!"

In the crowd, Lan Yongzhen and Guo Yuchuang, who were at the center of the storm, seemed to be torn apart and eaten alive by this group of civil servants in gorgeous clothes.

Guo Yuchuang sighed, moved his legs twice, reached out and grabbed the robe of Lan Yongzhen beside him, and his body became half an inch shorter.

Faced with the humiliation from these Ministry of Revenue officials, but thinking of the expectations of his brothers in the camp, Guo Yuchuang finally chose to surrender.

"Is this the Ministry of Revenue?"

suddenly.

Yan Shaoting shouted loudly in the crowd, full of sarcasm.

"who!"

"Who dares to be so arrogant in my Ministry of Revenue?"

The ambassador of Taicang Silver Treasury looked around and shouted.

However, the people around Yan Shaoting had already made way.

Some people had already recognized him, and there was a hint of shock and uneasiness on their faces.

Yan Shaoting's face was gloomy.

He had thought about a lot of things, and since last year he had lowered the bottom line for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty time and time again.

But he couldn't imagine it.

These people seem to have no bottom line.

Yan Shaoting walked with a sullen face into the crowd step by step, and came to the position between the ambassadors of Taicang Silver Treasury, Yi Zi Treasury, Lan Yongzhen and Guo Yuchuang.

He is now a popular figure in the court, and the ambassadors of Taicang Silver Treasury and Yi Zi Treasury naturally recognize him.

After recognizing Yan Shaoting, they both felt something was wrong.

Lan Yongzhen, on the other hand, stared at Yan Shaoting in confusion.

Yan Shaoting glanced coldly at the two green-headed flies in the Ministry of Revenue who looked like clowns.

"What a great official power!"

"Does it mean that even if I come here, I have to kneel down first?"

The ambassadors of Taicang Silver Treasury and Yi Zi Treasury suddenly broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads. They bent over and lowered their heads, quietly wiping their faces with their sleeves.

Guo Yuchuang of the Beijing Camp's eyes lit up, and he pulled Lan Yongzhen beside him and bowed to Yan Shaoting.

"I, Guo Yuchuang, the deputy counselor of the Marquis of Zhenyuan in the Beijing Camp, come to see Attendant Yan."

Lan Yongzhen didn't know Yan Shaoting's identity and was confused for a moment.

Seeing that Lao Lan hadn't spoken a word, Guo Yuchuang looked up at Yan Shaoting, then quickly leaned over to Lao Lan's ear and said, "It's the eldest son of Lord Yan's mansion. Come and greet him."

A member of the Yan Party?

Lan Yongzhen was full of doubts.

But now he had no time to think, he could only listen to Guo Yuchuang's words, clasped his fists and shouted: "Xuanfu Town, the pacification officer under the general's account, Lan Yongzhen, pays homage to Yan Shidu."

Yan Shaoting just nodded, then turned his head to look at the Ambassador of Taicang Silver Treasury and the Ambassador of Yi Zi Treasury of the Ministry of Revenue again.

"What's the matter? Have the people from the Ministry of Revenue forgotten the rules for meeting their superiors?"

The two men shuddered and quickly clasped their fists and bowed their heads.

"Your humble servant greets Doctor Yan."

The two of them were holding their hands in a bowing gesture.

Yan Shaoting snorted coldly with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Ok?"

Looking at the two people, Yan Shaoting felt like he was looking at two pieces of shit, which was disgusting.

The two big pieces of shit were terrified, but they didn't dare to stand up. They could only stick their butts up, raise their heads, and look at Yan Shaoting with a flattering smile on their faces. "Doctor, we were just joking before, how can we really ask people to..."

As they had before.

Yan Shaoting also did not mention kneeling, but his cannibalistic look was clearly evident.

The two of them said this, but they were already cursing in their hearts.

Since when did the Yan family start to care about such trivial matters?

Lan Yongzhen, who came to Beijing from Xuanfu, was even more shocked.

Isn't it said that the Yan Party is a disaster to the country and is the scum of the court?

Why are you standing up for yourself today?
Yan Shaoting snorted coldly: "Are you kidding? But I am not kidding."

Regardless of whether the Ming Dynasty’s army was underpaid or not, they were invincible when fully paid.

Just based on the behavior of these civil servants, there is no need to expect the Ming army to have much combat power.

The two big shits were completely panicked, and their faces turned red.

"Doctor...you too...why do you have to do this?"

They thought that Yan Shaoting was now working in the Ministry of Revenue, so why force the two of them like this.

Yan Shaoting didn't care at all: "Although I am a lowly official, only of the fifth rank, your majesty trusts me. There is also a desk outside the Wenyuan Pavilion's classroom. Do you want me to ask inside the door when the time comes?"

Bang!
Bang!
Two muffled sounds were heard.

After hearing the three words "Wenyuan Pavilion", the two idiots in the Ministry of Revenue knelt heavily on the ground without waiting for Yan Shaoting to finish his words.

Yan Shaoting snorted coldly and looked around.

Most of the officials from the Ministry of Revenue who were originally watching the excitement nearby had already quietly left, and the remaining ones also retreated far away, acting as if they were staying out of it and as if it had nothing to do with them.

Everyone recalled silently that this seemed to be the first time Yan Shaoting came here after taking office in the Ministry of Revenue.

Now that things have come to this, how should they deal with it in the future?

Lan Yongzhen was stunned.

Similarly, even in the Beijing Camp, Guo Yuchuang, who knew Yan Shaoting's current reputation, was full of surprise.

Yan Shaoting was looking at the two piles of shit kneeling in front of him: "The border is not peaceful, it depends on the border troops to resist. Without money and food, how can we ask them to fight against the enemy? Can the Ministry of Revenue give them anything right now?"

The ambassador of Taicang Treasury raised his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "Doctor, it's not that we don't want to give it to them. You know the foundation of the Ministry of Revenue. Where can we get the money to give them now..."

Yan Shaoting snorted coldly and turned to look at the ambassador of the Yizi Treasury: "I know the foundation of the Taicang Silver Treasury. But your Yizi Treasury is responsible for the entry and exit of cotton military uniforms and other items, don't you have any?"

The Yizi Library Ambassador was filled with anxiety, sweat dripping down his face, and he stammered, "Doctor, you don't know... Yizi Library... Yizi Library..."

Yan Shaoting's eyes widened: "I want to ask you, does the Yi character library still have these things?"

"Have!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The Yizi Library Ambassador was in a panic: "Of course there is a Yizi Library, but..."

"Just what? If you have it, take it out and send it to the army in Xuanfu Town!" Yan Shaoting stared.

But the ambassador of the Yizi Depot had a troubled look on his face: "It's just that... the Yizi Depot sells cotton military uniforms, and the Czi Depot sells cotton and silk floss. They all... need to wait for the South Zhili to deliver them... and now there are not enough in the warehouse..."

Yan Shaoting raised his eyebrows: "Songjiang cotton?"

Ambassador Yiziku nodded repeatedly: "Yes... yes, yes... there is a share."

Yan Shaoting glanced around.

Apart from the minor officials of the Ministry of Revenue, there were no hall officials of the Ministry of Revenue and the heads of various departments.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, probably guessing the reason behind this.

Yan Shaoting looked at the ambassador of Yiziku again and said, "How much is left in the treasury? Since Xuanfu has the documents with the seal, take out as much as you can and send them over there."

As he spoke, Yan Shaoting had already looked at Lan Yongzhen.

Lan Yongzhen was still at a loss as to what to do, so Guo Yuchuang quickly bumped into him.

Lan Yongzhen finally reacted and held the document in both hands and handed it to Yan Shaoting.

Yan Shaoting took the document and looked at the Yiziku Ambassador.

Ambassador Yi Zi Ku dared not neglect the matter at this time, and hurriedly knelt forward and raised his hands to take the document.

But Yan Shaoting withdrew his hand again.

"First, send the items out of the warehouse to the people in Xuanfu, approve the note for them to sign, and after the full amount is sent, take the document to the Ministry of Revenue's Pen Holder Warehouse for filing."

At this time, Ambassador Yi Zi Ku didn't dare to say a word.

He nodded repeatedly.

"What the doctor said is absolutely right."

"The doctor has thought it through very carefully."
