Chapter 606: Poor Country Rich Minister

Cheng Qianxun was really going to be angry with these teammates: "That's you strong, if you change positions, you are me, what should I do?" ”

Rudolph said almost coldly: "It's not a good thing, a country of this strength, plus a king who can't fight alone, can already exist is already a miracle." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Snead chuckled evilly: "Thanks to a queen sent by the gods, the god Annu is still very wise. ”

Seeing her teammates smiling maliciously, Cheng Qianxun also knew that she was relying on the side door to keep her country. Rudolph is right, does she have the required qualifications?

With helplessness, she had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, half a year, half a year, I'll find a way." ”

"Let's see what you can come up with, anyway, my ugly words are in front of me, and if you don't choose me, I'll be very angry." Gordon didn't have the heart to say what was on everyone's minds.

"Me too!" The other teammates also said directly or expressed it with expressions, all of them were that if she didn't choose them, she would wait for her to finish with Ekash.

Cheng Qianxun pretended to sigh, but in fact, he had already smiled in his heart. Half a year, haha half a year, as long as you can hold them back and drag them out for enough time, victory is expected.

I was finally able to sleep well at night, and I heard that there were two of them, and I began to prepare for the time to go back. After all, there is still half a year to go, so you can't leave your country and keep operating remotely. Wait for half a year to come back, and then come directly to hear the results.

When I woke up, it was already noon. Cheng Qianxun got up, and the maid brought a basin of water, and a small bowl of rice cereal to cushion her hunger, and said that Lagassi had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Tell him to come in and drink rice cereal. Before Lagasi knelt down after coming in, Cheng Qianxun said, "No need to kneel, go sit next to you, what's the matter?" ”

Ragassi said with some excitement: "I heard that the queen has agreed with the other four kings to announce the results of the election in half a year?" ”

"You're well-informed, yes." Cheng Qianxun glanced at him with squinted eyes, with rice cereal in his mouth and a smile on the corner of his mouth. When I think about it, I feel relaxed and refreshed.

"It's a good thing." But Lagassi became sad again: "But when the time comes, what is the queen going to choose?" ”

"The gods will tell me." Cheng Qianxun picked up the bowl, drank all the rice cereal, put down the bowl and comforted: "Don't worry, you still can't trust me?" ”

The four kings are all planning to return to China, especially Regel, whose foundation is not stable at present, and he wants to go back.

Before leaving, it is natural to come to say goodbye and say something to thank the host for his hospitality. They also deliberately staggered one by one, and Cheng Qianxun only had waves of goodbyes. What is heard is ... "I hope the queen chooses me, after all, Uluna is the richest and has the strongest backing." Rudolph spoke with absolute force, as if he were a command.

And Gordon is also direct: "If you dare not choose me, I will send troops." The sword of your is known for its toughness and sharpness! ”

Sneijd's tone finally slowed down a lot: "Nipur has the most food, and the queen had better inform me at least a month in advance, and I will send troops to garrison the city of Ekash with food." With the walls of Ekashgar, my forces, even if the three of them combined, would not be able to break through. And I can also ask to fight alone, and the queen has seen what I can do, and the three of them are actually sheep in wolf's clothing. ”

"Hehe, hehehe." Cheng Qianxun can only deal with it, what sheep in wolf's clothing, they are like wolves in sheep's clothing. But Snead was right, as long as there were enough troops and food, it would be no problem to block for seventeen or eighteen days.

Regel came, and as soon as he came, he took her hand, so serious that it gave her a headache: "Queen, you must choose me." Don't say that I am the most soldier, the most important thing is that if you don't feel for me, why do you want to help me ascend to the throne? I will repay those who helped me in times of crisis. I really like you, I liked it as soon as I saw it. I'm going to go back and recruit more troops, and I'll drive them all out when the time comes. Waiting for me to come back! ”

After saying that, he hugged her and hugged her feet off the ground. Legel lowered his head on her cheek, kissed her fiercely, let go and walked away happily.

Caught off guard, Cheng Qianxun wiped his wet cheeks with the back of his hand, and watched Regel's tall and abnormal figure leave with a wry smile.

Ragasi came back, and after sitting down, he said to Cheng Qianxun, who was leaning on the cushion, with a sigh of relief: "It's all back." ”

"All back?" Cheng Qianxun felt so tired, but the news still made her happy. Oh my God, finally back, back. In the past ten days, every day she felt like a year, and almost every day she was forced to go crazy by these teammates.

Even if she was so tired that she didn't want to open her eyes, she couldn't help but smile.

By the way, there was still something to do, she opened her eyes and asked, "Did you send anything to the four kings?" How much to mean meaning. ”

"Delivered!" Lagassi replied, "No king gives the same thing." Roast a whole sheep and let them eat it with their men on the road. Twenty soldiers were also sent to each of them to escort them to the border. One more thing, I ask the queen for forgiveness. Lagassi has always done a good job, and Cheng Qianxun immediately agreed: "It's okay, just say it, I'll forgive." ”

Ragasi said softly, "I have given each king a small object, and I will say that the queen has always used it." There are combs, hairpins, belts, handkerchiefs. ”

Cheng Qianxun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "No wonder these things have been changed today, it turns out that you have all gone to give them away." Okay, as long as they want it, and they don't get angry. ”

"They were all happy to take it." Ragasi stood up and said goodbye immediately: "The queen is also tired for so many days, you can rest first." ”

"Hmm." Cheng Qianxun closed his eyes and said leisurely: "You also go to rest, I will send someone to call you tomorrow if there is something." ”

"Yes, Queen." None of the footsteps of Ragassi could be heard as he walked out.

Now she can't help but go to court early, in the past, either the country was besieged, or other kings were in the palace, and she slept every day, and she slept until noon before she got up lazily. Now that the king is gone, and the gates are wide open, and there is not a single enemy soldier outside the gates, it should be early.

The plan of the day was in the morning, Cheng Qianxun yawned and sat on the mat, and below was a group of ministers who stood on the mat and bowed to her after entering the hall.

When they had finished kneeling, they sat down on the spot and sat down on the mats.

"If you have something, just say it, but keep it simple, don't talk about it." Cheng Qianxun leaned on the thick cushion, she didn't care if Wang needed to be straight and majestic, anyway, how comfortable and how to sit.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer then said, "The treasury is out of money, ask the queen to collect another tax, and I will come up with a tax specifically to collect the expenses of the queen's marriage." ”

Cheng Qianxun had long been displeased with this minister, she looked at her nails: "How much is the total amount of taxes now, and if they all add up, what is the proportion of the total income." That is, if you earn ten silver coins, how much tax do you need to pay? ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer quickly replied, "Seventy percent." ”

"Seventy percent?" Cheng Qianxun sneered and shouted: "Who here can tell me who has the biggest house and the richest house in the city?" ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said respectfully: "Of course you are the Queen!" ”

Cheng Qianxun stood up, walked to the sand table and looked at it carefully: "Is the proportion of this sand table correct?" ”

The old minister nodded on the front side: "Yes." ”

Cheng Qianxun then pointed his finger: "This is where I live, well, it's quite big." There are a total of 12 rooms in the main hall and the side hall. Next to it is the temple, which is also quite large; The temple of the goddess is certainly good. So whose is this one? ”

When the old minister saw it, his face immediately changed: "Queen, this is my home." But this is all handed down by my father, and it looks good, but in fact, most of the walls of the house have been broken, and I will repair one side if I have money, and I will repair a little if I have money, but I still can't finish it. If you don't believe it, the queen will come to my house to see! ”

Cheng Qianxun looked at the others, and everyone else nodded, and Lagasi, who was sitting at the end, nodded secretly.

"And what about this one?" Her fingers shifted again.

"Yes, it's mine." The Chancellor of the Exchequer wiped his sweat: "This is also passed down from my father." ”

Cheng Qianxun sat back and changed the topic again: "I want to store grain, can anyone tell me how much it will cost to buy food for seven thousand people for a month." There is a prize for the fast speed! ”

The old minister, the chancellor of the exchequer, and Ragaszi shouted almost simultaneously. Although the number varies, it is about 20,000 silver coins. And 20,000 silver coins is about the annual revenue of the entire country.

Cheng Qianxun said with a smile: "The same minister, the same ancestor." But apparently someone has a lot of money, and his wife has more than twenty pieces of clothes. I have also heard many things, such as the use of goat's milk for washing faces, the presence of more than 20 slave girls, and the fact that the gate was opened for less than five days before someone was asked to build a house. It is said that it was used as a granary, and the grain was delivered. Wheat was piled up in one house, and barley was heaped in another. ”

After saying that, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was full of bowels and brains, sweated even more.

Looking at the Chancellor of the Exchequer wiping his sweat with his belt, Cheng Qianxun continued to enlighten with a smile: "Why, I am so poor as the queen, but he is so rich." Shouldn't it be properly checked? ”

The old minister gloated and said: "Yes, you must check it carefully, unless it is originally a grain business, how can there be so much food and so much money!" ”

"Yes!" She turned to regret again: "But at the moment, I have more important things, how to raise 20,000 silver coins to buy food and save it." Is it to check first, or to buy food first. ”

"When, of course, food is important." The Chancellor of the Exchequer stammered: "In case you are besieged again, you can't eat anything." ”

"yes, yes!" Cheng Qianxun nodded very seriously: "That's right, but food needs money to buy, and I don't have any money." When I have money and buy food, why do I have to go to such great lengths to check and make money? ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer always understood, and he was ruthless: "It is my sin that the Queen worries about the food. I'll figure out how to get food. ”

Cheng Qianxun was happy: "Seven thousand people are enough to eat for a month?" ”

He gritted his teeth and stubbornly said, "Yes, seven thousand people are enough to eat for a month." ”

"Well, that's right. Worrying about the king is a good courtier! Cheng Qianxun smiled and patted his thigh, pointed and said: "Don't disturb the people, it's all added to the seventy percent tax, it's too much." From today onwards, the tax will be reduced to 30 percent, and merchants from other regions who come here to do business will only be charged 10 percent tax. Those who pay taxes with grain, and the amount is large, there will be troops to send them to the border. (To be continued.) )
