Chương 241: Chapter 180 North City Reform_2

The servants immediately opened the wooden chests, which were full of shimmering silver. Looking at the silver, Lu Chen muttered to himself, "Trading 70,000 taels of silver for several hundred thousand, this business isn't losing out at all."

He had only allocated 70,000 taels of silver to the officials of North City for their salaries, but before the salaries had even been distributed, the officials of North City had handed over several hundred thousand taels of silver.

Lu Chen crouched down, picked up a silver ingot from one of the wooden chests, and then continued, "Li Rui really isn't honest, just the officials from Yan County can hand over several hundred thousand taels of silver, yet he came to me for salary just a few days ago."

With that said, Lu Chen turned his head and said to the servants of the Prince's Mansion, "Count it, see how much silver there is."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the servants of the Prince's Mansion immediately began to count the silver.
