"Your Majesty! This incident came so suddenly that even our Ministry of Revenue was caught off guard!"
Li Wei hurriedly explained.
"Your Majesty! You heard it, didn't the Ministry of Revenue expect this to happen so suddenly? Clearly, this is a disaster sent from heaven!"
Shangguan Xiong said coldly.
"Your Majesty! What the Prime Minister said makes sense. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the Dongshan chicken farming project is fine, then let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do it!"
"Your Majesty, I second your opinion!"
The officials looked at each other and spoke.
Emperor Liang's face was extremely gloomy. When the Dongshan chicken farming project was making huge profits, they rushed to invest. Now that it has lost money, they actually want Qin Yu to take over!
"Haha! If the Ministry of Revenue has no objection, then this prince has no objection either."
Qin Yu said with a sneer.
For a moment, all the civil and military officials looked at Li Wei.
"Minister Li! You don't have any objections, right?"
Shangguan Xiong asked coldly.
"No problem! I definitely don't mind!"
Li Wei said hurriedly.
For the Ministry of Revenue, it will definitely not continue to invest money in raising chickens in Dongshan. If Qin Yu can take over, it means that he will also take over the Ministry of Revenue's troubles, and he is looking forward to it.
"Your Highness! The Ministry of Revenue has no objections. Since you are willing to take over, please compensate us for our losses!"
Shangguan Xiong looked at Qin Yu and said coldly.
"What do you mean, Prime Minister? Why don't I understand?"
Qin Yu asked rhetorically.
"Why are you pretending to be confused? We all invested money in the Dongshan chicken farming project, and we lost everything. You must compensate us for this money!"
Shangguan Xiong said coldly.
"Hmph! Your Highness! His Majesty is sitting up there, don't even think about shirking your responsibility today!"
The officials said coldly.
"Haha! This is a complete joke! I remember clearly that the Dongshan chicken farming project cost the Ministry of Revenue only 200,000 taels of silver to buy my chickens!"
"And how much are the remaining facilities worth? They've all been destroyed by wild beasts, and almost all the chickens are dead. What's the difference between this and my new investment?"
"Let me ask you, if you lose money in business, do you let the people who want to do business with you bear your losses? Is that reasonable in the world?"
Qin Yu said with a sneer.
Then, he looked at Emperor Liang and said, "Father! I am willing to purchase Dongshan from the Ministry of Revenue for two hundred thousand taels of silver. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me!"
Emperor Liang said in a deep voice, "Dongshan is the property I bestowed upon the Ministry of Revenue. Since you are willing to pay 200,000 taels of silver for it, then this silver should belong to the Ministry of Revenue!"
Having said this, Emperor Liang looked at Li Wei and said, "Minister Li, you will conduct the handover with the Crown Prince today."
"This... is! Your Majesty!"
Li Wei was speechless.
This father and son are really ruthless. Not only did they make a net profit of more than 8 million taels of silver after trading the money, but the Dongshan chicken farming project still belongs to Qin Yu!
"Your Majesty! What about our losses?"
The officials were very anxious.
"Everyone! The Dongshan chicken farming project was originally assigned to the Ministry of Revenue. My father never asked you to invest, but you insisted on investing money!"
"Investment always carries risks. You don't just want to make money, and let my father take the risk for you, do you?"
Qin Yu asked back in a cold voice.
"hiss!"
All the civil and military officials gasped.
Qin Yu's seemingly light words directly put them on the edge of deceiving the emperor!
Even if they were given ten times the courage, they would not dare to let Emperor Liang bear the responsibility for them!
