The Minister of Revenue had just arrived at the Ministry of Revenue and was preparing to summon several key officials to discuss the budget allocation for the Princess's grand wedding.
The Princess's dowry was prepared by the Royal Family.
However, other expenses for the wedding needed to be covered by the Ministry of Revenue.
With so many departments in the court asking for money today and tomorrow, the silver in the National Treasury was accounted for, and every penny had to be carefully calculated.
Before entering his government office, he said to a Lingshi, "Summon the Left and Right Assistant Ministers and the Left and Right Ministers of Revenue to my office."
A moment later, the Lingshi came in and said, "Reporting to the Chief of Staff Lord, all four officials are not in the office."
The Minister of Revenue frowned; they were occasionally late or left early, and he didn't bother with them for that.
