Gu Jiusi is willing to check the accounts of the previous dynasty | Destined EP29 | iQIYI Malaysia
The country pays me but I failed to solve its problems. I feel ashamed. I’m willing to cut my salary by half. It’s not much money but can be used to buy a few more bricks for the dam. Your Majesty, I’m willing to cut my salary by half too. Good. Approved.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Official Gu, why are you laughing? Your Majesty, in my opinion, the coffers were depleted because there was corruption in the previous dynasty. To reclaim the money, shouldn’t we check the ledgers and analyze the expenditures? I never thought about using my salary to make up for such a big hole.
I feel ashamed compared to my selfless colleagues. So I mocked myself. [Liu Chun, the Deputy Minister of Revenue] Official Gu, you made a great point. But the previous dynasty left countless ledgers which are very complicated. During years of war, many documents were lost. I’m afraid we’re not able to do that.
Your Majesty, you said just now that every course needs a start. I’d feel honored if I could be the start. Father, I’d like to lead the inspection. Yu’er, what do you mean? This is an important matter. No one is more suitable for this task than me. I want to share your burden. Yu’er,
You don’t have enough experience. Stay out of it. Yes. Official Gu will be in charge of checking the old ledgers. You’ll have one month to give me a satisfying answer. Yes, Your Majesty. Official Lu. Yes, Your Majesty. Deputy Minister Gu is young and works under you. Offer him your assistance.
Deputy Minister Gu is talented and has great potential. He’ll definitely become the pillar of the Ministry of Revenue. I’ll spare no effort to help him.
