Listening to Lin Wan's words, Qi Rubao and Qi Moqian couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't figure out what Lin Wan wanted to say for a while. Could it be that the imperial court didn't want to take back Lian Bicheng? How could that be? Even if Lin Wan had a deep friendship with the Qi family, it was impossible for him to be the master.

Which emperor could tolerate his own courtiers, hold military power, and dominate one side? In the past, Zhou Chang'an did not have the military talisman of the Eastern Qi army in his hands, and the political power was unstable, and there were internal and external troubles, so there was no way to take the Qi family. Despite this, Zhou Changan also cut off Lianbicheng's military supplies, and secretly instructed King Ning and King Ning's son to come to Lianbicheng to make trouble.

Now, the internal worries have been solved, the external troubles have been calmed, and Zhou Tianqi is about to ascend the throne, whether it is political means or military capabilities, Zhou Tianqi is not so easy to deal with. Although, Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan helped the Qi family, and the Qi family also helped Zhou Tianqi and the Zhao family. However, for the Son of Heaven, the most taboo is to coerce favors. Qi Ruying, Qi Rubao and Qi Moqian naturally understood this truth, so they used Lin Wan's hand to show their loyalty to Zhou Tianqi, and handed over all the talismans of the Eastern Qi army and the financial power of Lian Bicheng.

Therefore, when Qi Ruying handed over the talisman to Lin Wan, Lin Wan did not refuse, and promised to help Qi Ruying and the Eastern Qi army show their loyalty to Zhou Tianqi.

However, Qi Rubao and Qi Moqian wanted to hand over the financial power of Lian Bicheng to Lin Wan, but Lin Wan refused. Qi Rubao was very puzzled by this, and asked suspiciously: "Wan'er, the Ming people don't say secret words, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to ascend the throne, now is the time for us to show our loyalty to the new emperor, if we don't hand over Lianbi City, how can we eliminate the concerns in the new emperor's heart?"

Lin Wan shook his head and said, "Uncle Qi, the rivers and mountains of the Great Seal Kingdom belong to the Zhou family, as well as the Eastern Qi army and Lian Bicheng. Therefore, of course, Tianqi also hopes that Lianbi City will be more prosperous, and that the people of Lianbi City will live better and better. ”

Qi Rubao and Qi Moqian glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and motioned for Lin Wan to continue.

Lin Wan smiled slightly and continued: "Uncle Qi, only under your governance will Lianbi City get better and better, and only then can you create more wealth. Now, Lian Bicheng's annual income is enough to feed the 200,000 Eastern Qi army and hundreds of thousands of people in Lian Bi City, and there is still a surplus. ”

Qi Rubao smiled and nodded, and said, "Wan'er is right, Lian Bicheng's income in the past two years has indeed been self-sufficient, and there is still a surplus. ”

Lin Wan hooked his lips and smiled, and continued: "But, Uncle Qi, if you hand over Lian Bicheng to the imperial court, the imperial court will not only have to send people to control it, but it will also waste the manpower and material resources of the imperial court, and it may not be better than you manage it yourself. In case there is a difference of opinion between the people sent by the imperial court and Uncle Qi, and the people's hearts are unstable, and the economy of Lian Bicheng is declining, the imperial court will also allocate military salaries to the Eastern Qi army and distribute materials to help the people of Lian Bicheng, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?"

Qi Rubao frowned, and said with some hesitation: "Wan'er has a point, but ......"

Lin Wan smiled, shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "Uncle Qi, Tianqi and I both believe in you, why do you need to show loyalty? But I can't take what you give, because this is the source of income for hundreds of thousands of people and 200,000 soldiers in Lianbi City. Tianqi and I are willing to entrust these to you, and we also want to thank the Qi family for helping us feed the soldiers and people of the Great Feudal Kingdom. Of course, if you really have a surplus, you must hand it over to the imperial court, because now the treasury is empty, there is still a disaster in Jiangnan, and the imperial court needs silver. ”

Listening to Lin Wan's words, Qi Rubao and Qi Moqian were silent, hesitating in their hearts. Lin Wan's words are reasonable, and Qi Rubao and Qi Moqian have always been worried about how the imperial court will deal with Lian Bicheng's regime. If it is really as Lin Wan said, it is of course best to let them continue to manage Lianbi City. However, can this really be the case? Will the imperial court really allow them to continue to control the financial power of Lian Bicheng?

Qi Moqian thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, raised his head, looked directly at Lin Wan, and said word by word: "Sister Wan'er, is what you said true?"

Lin Wan nodded firmly, and said seriously: "Brother Mo Qian, what I said is naturally counted. ”

Qi Moqian couldn't help but show joy on his face, nodded heavily, and said: "Okay, since Sister Wan'er dares us to continue to govern Lian Bi City, we will not let you down, I promise you, our Lian Bi City can not only supply all the expenses of the Eastern Qi army, but also, according to the annual income, all the surplus property will be handed over to the imperial court." Before the end of this year, I will escort all the 1 million taels of silver left over from these two years into Beijing by the Eastern Qi army to show my sincerity. ”

Lin Wan was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect that Lian Bicheng would be able to create such a huge amount of wealth, she couldn't help but nod happily, and said: "It's really good, in previous years, Jiangnan paid the most income, but this year's flood in Jiangnan still depends on the relief of the imperial court." Now that the treasury is empty, Brother Mo Qian's one million taels of silver is really timely, and this will be the largest income of the imperial court this year. The sincerity of such real money is stronger than anything else, on behalf of the Apocalypse and the people of the world, thank you Uncle Qi and Brother Mo Qian. ”

Qi Rubao finally confirmed that Lin Wan was sincere in saying these words, and couldn't help but nod happily, and said: "Wan'er, the Great Feudal State has an emperor like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and with an empress like you, what is there to worry about? In the future, it will definitely be more prosperous and powerful, no one will have a heart of disobedience, and no one will dare to rebel." ”

Lin Wan smiled and nodded, and said: "Uncle Qi is right, only the monarch and the ministers have one heart can govern a country well, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, make our country more prosperous and strong, and make the country and the people safe." Only when all countries get along with each other and become friendly neighbors can they prosper together and benefit the people of the world. ”

Qi Rubao looked at Lin Wan with a smile, and knew very well in his heart that Lin Wan dared to do this entirely because Zhou Tianqi was the desire of the people, and he was strong enough, and he had a close relationship with the Dongli Kingdom, so he was not afraid of the rebellion of the Eastern Qi army, and he was not afraid that the Qi family was selfish.

Lin Wan had already thought clearly, who was the imperial court going to send, so that he was not afraid that he would be selfish? Not only did he have to worry about his disagreement with the Qi family, but also worried about his complicity with the Qi family, it was better to completely hand over Lian Bicheng to the Qi family to take care of, as long as they handed over the silver to the imperial court. In this way, he not only gave favors, but also saved effort, and unexpectedly gained a million taels of silver.
