Chapter 346 Money Tight

It is that Kong Ruoming didn't say anything for a while.

If An had defected to Daliang earlier at this time, or if he had participated in the destruction of the State of Qin, he would have something to refute, but he did not. Even if he was expelled from the State of Qin, Shi'an would still be worthy of the State of Qin and anyone in the State of Qin.

Those who are presumptuous have always thought a lot, and they will think about two steps back. Shi An is a smart man. How can he not know what to offend people and what will make people unhapprove? But he still said it, which is enough to show that even if this person doesn't like them, or more clearly hates It's clear.

If they had seen him a little farther at that time, wouldn't the State of Qin...

Kong Ruoming shook his head secretly. The State of Qin could not tolerate such a person, because he wanted to touch not the interests of one or two families, but all the families. The royal family was too soft and was too comfortable with the status quo. He could not stand such a scene, but he was willing to change, so it was inevitable to sacrifice him

"Say what you want to say, let's listen."

Shi An glanced at the old fox, snorted, and stopped selling tricks. "If you regard the beam as the next state of Qin, then I advise you to give up that idea. The ten royal families of the State of Qin can't add up to one fourth prince. If you save that idea, what is it? You must be able to feel it once.

"I admit that few of the four princes can reach, but now it is not that Daliang is alone in charge of the world, but is divided into three parts of the world with Fujian and Wu. Yes, we can't help him by force, but in terms of family background, how many people in the world can compare with us? And our identity, if we stand clearly on the side of the beam, it is equivalent to being recognized by orthodoxy. At that time, the forces outside the Three Kingdoms will know how to choose as long as they are not fools. I don't believe that these benefits will not be seen by the wisdom of the four princes.

"Even if you help the prince with the help of your family, you can't get such a detached position in the State of Qin." Shi An said firmly and had an extremely tough attitude. "What's more, Daliang has the control among the princesses, the pavilion has the help of the big family, and the money has never been tight."

Kong Ruoming frowned. The war was a bottomless pit. He didn't believe that Daliang would not have this problem, but, "I heard rumors that the prince loves the princess very much, and there is no concubine in the house. Shi An, tell me whether this is true or false?"

"It's true."

"Is it because the princess is a prophet?"

Shi An sneered, "I can only tell you that the princess can make the right to decide the state affairs of Daliang. I won't say much about the rest. As for the reason why the prince loves the princess, if I say that the two are husband and wife, you must not believe it."

Shi An raised the corners of his mouth with some malice in his eyes. "The love you never care about is a treasure protected by the prince and the princess. If you don't believe it, you can see it with your own eyes."

Seeing that Kong Ruoming didn't say anything, Jiang Qixuan took over the conversation, "You mean, if we don't have any plans to think from the fourth prince, the princess is the key?"

"As long as it's about Daliang, the princess is the key." Shi An looked at his father, who had never spoken, "If you really want to get close to Daliang, ask less and pay more. The princess is the most clear in terms of rewards and punishments. In the end, she will definitely not treat you badly when it comes to meritorious deeds. This is the only advice I can give you. If you insist on sticking to

Kong Ruoming looked at Shi Qing, "What do you say?"

"I believe in my son's vision." Shi Qing put down the tea cup that had been empty for a long time and looked up and said, "Before I came, I said that we need to be careful about this matter. Not to mention Daliang, the State of Min and the State of Wu will not accept your request. Even if it is accepted, there will be no good end in the future. The State of Qin is Have you ever heard that a strong parliament allows people above the imperial power? Don't get the result of raiding the family in the end.

Shi An's previous words had made Kong Ruoming a little shaken, and Shi Qing's words hit his weakness. For families like them, the continuation of the family for generations is the first thing they should consider, and the rest can make way for this.

"I need to think about it, Lao Jiang, Meng Ran, what about you?"

Both of them nodded together, "Me too."

"In that case, don't say anything about tonight's banquet." Kong Ruoming got up and said, "I'm a little tired. Shi'an, you take me to rest."

Shi An then got up, nodded slightly to his father and left with Kong Ruoming.

After the two went far away, Meng Ran said, "Brother Shi, you have two good sons. The big one is capable, and the small one won't give up much."

Shi Qing smiled proudly, "So I don't regret that I tried my best to protect him."

Shi An, who was praised, did not know it and silently led the way forward.

He has no good impression on Kong Ruoming, or he has no good impression on the families who have forced him, but at present, for the sake of the family, he has to follow Kong Ruoming that he has something to say.

"Hate me?"

Both of them understood the words without a beginning and an end, but Shi An didn't want to discuss this, as if he didn't hear it and said, "Mr. Kong, please say it directly."

Kong Ruoming didn't care either. He looked behind his back at the delicately trimmed flowers and trees on both sides of the corridor. "It seems that the fourth prince is good to you."

"My master is the princess."

Kong Ruoming turned his eyes to the back of Shi An's head, "Are you the princess for? Does the prince also allow it?"

"There are still a lot of things you don't know."

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Kong Ruoming didn't ask much in his heart, but said, "If it were you, how would you face the current situation?"

"Simple, put down the airs of the family and do your part as a minister. Don't treat Liang as the State of Qin. It's enough to act like a courtier."

"My minister...what should I do?"

Shi An sneered. Yes, the State of Qin used to forget what to do in front of the king. This is not a courtier. This is a group of ancestors raised by the State of Qin.

"If you want to die, you have to die."

Kong Ruoming also knew that he had asked a stupid question, but this answer was not within his acceptance. If it was like what Shi An said, how could they live a good life in the future?

Taking people to the western yard, Shi An stopped and turned around and said, "Da Liang will unify the world. As the backbone of Shangfeng City, Mr. Kong, please think more about the many families of Shangfeng City, big and small. Either you have the ability to become a king to order others, or be a good minister, as long as there is no Heart, listen to the announcement when it's time to listen to the announcement, and listen to the tune when it's time to listen to the announcement. The days are not so sad. Think about it carefully, my little nephew will leave.

At the banquet in the evening, the four of them didn't say anything, but their attitude was obviously much more polite. Unlike before, when they lowered their postures, they still couldn't hide the arrogance in their bones. Xia Hanqiu looked at Shi An, who was sitting next to accompany the guests, and there was nothing

The two sides seemed to have reached an agreement at the same time. The four of them lived in Shi'an, and Duan Ziyi and Xia Hanqiu did not disturb them and gave them enough time to think about it.

In fact, Kong Ruoming was not only thinking about it, but also sent people to send Shi'an's words back to Shangfeng.

Yamen has a pile of things every day. Even if Xia Hanqiu knows the benefits that the people of Shangfeng City can bring to Daliang, she can't put her mind on it every day. She simply let go of the matter first. It's all in these four families, and she can be sure of the Shi family and the Meng family.

"Qianqian, Feng, how is the tax and grain collection in various places?"

Tong Qianqian had been ready for a long time. She opened her mouth and said, "The six cities of Huiting, Bajing, Leye, Baosheng, Jiuhe and Lanshi are two seasons. The tax and grain in the first quarter have been put into the warehouse, and the other cities have not had time. The first season has not been harvested yet

"At least five cities have been added, and the expansion of the beam is not small. If it is still like last year, I'm afraid that the grain will not be able to support it. I hope that the weather will be good this year and the second season can also have a bumper harvest. Jialian, Yanli, you should prepare early. In addition "

Fu Yingying frowned as soon as she heard this, "Princesss, you just ordered the weapons department to build more not long ago, and the amount of weapons made has also greatly increased. If you buy a large amount of food, I'm afraid it will be tight in your hand."

"Not only the increase in the number of weapons, but also this year's winter clothes also need to be prepared. It's August, and the north has to wear late autumn and winter clothes. According to the data I got, this year's military strength has increased more than seven times compared with last year. More than 700,000 soldiers can't let them

"So many people?" Zhu Jialian exclaimed and blurted out. You know, at the beginning, there were only more than 30,000 soldiers.

"We now have a third of the world in our hands, including the whole State of Qin. More than 700,000 yuan sounds like a lot, but there are not many people in every place. Men have their own things to worry about the source of soldiers. We just need to ensure that they are full of food, clothing, warmth and weapons available. Such a large amount Preparation, now that it's past the busy farming time, recruit more people for help.

"Yes." It's not a problem to do what you want to do, but the questions raised by Yingying before are the most important...

"I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, it doesn't matter for a while."

The princess will say for a while. I'm afraid it's really not as abundant as before. Everyone has their own ideas. Meng Ningzhi said, "Before, an old friend of the Meng family visited, saying that it was not helpful in other things and was willing to help you in silver. In addition, the He family is also raising money. It must The number will be sent."

The old man of the Meng family refers to who Xia Hanqiu naturally knows. Meng Ran will not take a statement until now, which has given face to the other three people. If it hadn't been for the care of those families, the Meng family would have stood on the side of Daliang. RS
