Father, I am back to fight!

Chapter 170

Chapter 170

At the Ministry of Revenue, Li Wei is busy preparing for the Dongshan chicken farming project.

Although the officials' investment has not been clearly counted, the chickens bought from Qin Yu have been released into the outskirts of Dongshan. Moreover, according to Qin Yu's method, a large area of ​​land outside Dongshan has been fenced off, and at the same time, large beasts have been driven away.

Moreover, the profits were positive, and the eggs produced in these few days were worth 50,000 taels of silver.

However, the Ministry of Revenue did not receive a single tael of silver. All of it was taken away by Chen Zhong and others, on the grounds that they wanted to improve the food for the soldiers at the border, which made Li Wei very distressed.

"Sir, the statistics show that the initial investment of officials from various ministries totaled over 8.2 billion taels of silver. This far exceeds the initial investment of our Ministry of Revenue!"

An official said in a deep voice.

In fact, the more the officials invested in the early stages, the less money the Ministry of Revenue would need to advance, which is a good thing!

However, the shareholding ratio of the Dongshan chicken farming project is determined according to the investment share. In other words, if the Ministry of Revenue puts out too little money, it will have no say in the Dongshan chicken farming project in the future.

Moreover, the Dongshan chicken farming project is under the charge of the Ministry of Households, which means they have to do the most work and get the least money!

Now the most silver the Ministry of Revenue can take out is only two million taels, which is a huge difference compared to the silver the officials have taken out.

"If they put up eight million taels, then the Ministry of Revenue will also put up eight million taels. Anyway, it's not all paid in at once, so we can fill it in gradually later."

Li Wei said in a deep voice.

He knew very well that Emperor Liang also attached great importance to the Dongshan chicken farming project. If he, the Minister of Revenue, could not even keep 50% of the share, his career as the Minister of Revenue would be over.

"What the lord said is true. In fact, the Dongshan chicken farming project does not require such a large investment in the early stage. We can just quote 8 million taels, and as long as we fill it in later, they will have no objection!"

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue thought it made sense and went to do their work.

On the second day, the Ministry of Revenue was in an uproar!

"Sir! This is bad! The piece of land we have in Dongshan has been attacked by some ferocious beast. The fence has been trampled down, and the chickens have suffered heavy losses!"

"My Lord! What should we do? Dongshan chicken farming is the most important project to His Majesty. If we mess it up, we will lose our heads!"

......

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue all looked pale.

When Li Wei heard the report, he turned pale with fright. So many officials invested so much money. If they made money, it would be fine. But if they lost money, he would have no way to explain it!

"How could this happen! Didn't we tell you to drive away the large beasts? Are you being lazy?"

Li Wei said angrily.

"Sir! We were absolutely not lazy. We drove those large beasts far away. But who could have imagined that these beasts would suddenly attack us?"

The Ministry of Revenue official said hurriedly.

"Something terrible is happening! Quick! Prepare the sedan chair! I want to go to the palace!"

Li Wei said immediately.

He would not be so stupid as to buy chickens and throw them in. If these beasts could come the first time, they would probably come the second time. Moreover, this matter could not be concealed from Emperor Liang!

Therefore, he must report to Emperor Liang, and the decision will be made by Emperor Liang!

At this time, Emperor Liang was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. Since the start of the Dongshan chicken farming project, the Liang court had been peaceful and even the number of memorials had decreased significantly.

"Kou Ying, do you think the cabinet system is really that great?"

Emperor Liang suddenly thought of the cabinet system mentioned by Qin Yu.

According to the bet between him and Shangguan Xiong, if no disaster occurs in Daliang in half a month, the prime minister system will be abolished and the cabinet system will be implemented.

Although this cabinet system is mysterious, it is a new system after all, unprecedented and unparalleled, and Emperor Liang was unsure of it.
