Even Kong Ruoming didn't speak for a while.

If An had taken refuge in Daliang earlier, or if he had participated in the destruction of the Qin State, he would have something to refute, but he didn't, that is, he was expelled from the Qin State, and Shi An was still worthy of the Qin State and anyone in the Qin State.

Scheming people have always thought a lot, and if they take a step forward, they will think of two steps to retreat, Shi An is a smart person, how can he not know what to offend people and what to say will make people dislike, but he still said it, which is enough to show that even if this person doesn't like them, or to say more clearly, he hates them, but in this kind of major right and wrong, he can carry it clearly.

If they had seen farther and tolerated him at that time, wouldn't the Qin State have ......

Kong Ruoming shook his head secretly, Qin Guo couldn't tolerate such a person, because what he wanted to touch was not the interests of one family and two families, but all the families, and the royal family was too soft, too content with the status quo, and couldn't support such a scene, but he was willing to change, so it was inevitable to sacrifice him in the end.

"Say whatever you want, and we'll listen."

Shi An glanced at the old fox, snorted, and stopped selling Guanzi, "If you regard Daliang as the next Qin State, then I advise you to dispel that idea, the ten Qin Kingdom royal families together are not as good as one of the four princes, if you have that thought, you will definitely be able to feel what it tastes like if you steal chickens and rice." ”

"I admit that few people can match the four princes, but now it is not Da Liang who is in charge of the world, but the two countries of Fujian and Wu. How many people in the world can compare with us? There is also our identity, if we stand on the side of the Liang with a clear banner, this is equivalent to being recognized by orthodoxy, and then the forces outside the Three Kingdoms will know how to choose as long as they are not fools, these benefits, the old man does not believe that the wisdom of the four princes will not be seen. ”

"Even if you devote your family's strength to help the prince, you will not be able to get such a transcendent status in the Qin State." Shi An said categorically, and his attitude was extremely tough, "What's more, Daliang has the princess to mediate, and there is a big family to help him." Money has never been tight. ”

Kong Ruoming frowned. War is a bottomless pit, and he doesn't believe that Daliang won't have this problem, but, "I heard rumors that the prince loves the princess very much." And there was not a single concubine in the house. Shi An. Are you telling me if it's true or not? ”

"Absolutely."

"Could it be because the princess is a prophet?"

Shi An sneered, "I can only tell you about the state affairs of Da Liang. The princess can be the master of everything, I won't say much about the rest, as for the reason for the prince's love for the princess, if I say that the two are husband and wife, you will not believe it. ”

Shi An hooked the corners of his mouth, with some malice in his eyes, "The love you never disdain, but it is the prince and the princess who protect it, if you don't believe it, you can see it with your own eyes." ”

Seeing that Kong Ruoming locked his eyebrows and didn't speak, Jiang Qixuan took over the conversation, "You mean, if we have any plans, we don't need to make up our minds from the fourth prince, and the princess is the key?" ”

"As long as it is about the big beam, the princess is the key." Shi An looked at his father, who had not spoken, "If you really want to get close to Daliang, ask less and pay more, the princess is the most rewarding and punishing, and in the end, she will not treat you badly, this is the only advice I can give you, if you insist on sticking to the previous plan, then, the Shi family withdraws." ”

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

"I trust my son's vision." Shi Qing put down the tea cup that had been empty for a long time and raised his head and said, "I said before I came that this matter needs to be cautious, don't talk about Daliang, even the Wu State of Fujian will not accept your request, even if you accept it, it will not end well in the future, the Qin State is weak, so we have nothing to do, now that the three kingdoms are the strongest, when have you ever heard that a strong country will allow people who are above the imperial power?" Don't end up with the result of raiding your family and exterminating your family. ”

Shi An's previous words had already made Kong Ruoming a little shaken, and Shi Qing's words hit his weakness even more, for people like them, letting the family continue from generation to generation is the first thing they should consider, and everything else can make way for this.

"The old man needs to think about it, Lao Jiang, Meng Ran, what about you?"

The two nodded in unison, "Me too." ”

"In that case, don't say anything about tonight's banquet." Kong Ruoming got up, "The old man is 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 of them walked away, Meng Ran said: "Brother Shishi, you have raised two good sons, the older one is capable, and the younger one is not too much." ”

Shi Qing smiled proudly, "So I don't regret doing everything to protect him." ”

Shi An, who was praised, didn't know, and was silent and led the way.

He doesn't have a good impression of Kong Ruoming, or he doesn't have a good impression of the families that have persecuted him, but right now, for the sake of the Shi family, he has to follow Kong Ruoming when he hints that he has something to say.

"Hate the old man?"

There is no beginning or end, both of them understand, but Shi An didn't want to discuss this, as if he hadn't heard it, he said: "Kong Lao has something to say, please say it directly." ”

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

"My master is the princess."

Kong Ruoming turned his gaze to the back of Shi An's head, "You are working for the princess?" The prince also allows it? ”

"There's so much you don't know."

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

"Simple, put down the family's shelf, do your part as a courtier, don't treat Daliang as the Qin State, and behave like a courtier is enough."

"Courtier...... What to do? ”

Shi An sneered, yes, the Qin State is so used to that they have forgotten what to do in front of the king, where are the courtiers, this is a group of ancestors raised by the Qin State.

"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die."

Kong Ruoming also knew that he had asked a stupid question, but this answer was not within his acceptable range, if it was like what Shi An said, how could their lives be better in the future?

Bringing people to the west courtyard, Shi An stopped and turned around, and said: "Da Liang will definitely dominate the world, Kong Lao is the backbone of Shangfeng City, please think more about the many families of Shangfeng City, large and small, either you have the ability to become a king to order others, or you can be a good courtier, as long as there is no rebellion, listen to the announcement when you should listen to the announcement, listen to the tune when you should listen to the tune, the life is not so sad, you think about it, the little nephew retires." ”

At the banquet in the evening, the four of them really didn't say anything, but their attitude was obviously much more polite, unlike before, even if they lowered their posture, they still couldn't hide the arrogance in their bones, Xia Hanqiu glanced at Shi An, who was sitting next to accompany the guests, and there was something else in his heart that he didn't understand.

The two sides seemed to have reached some agreement at the same time, and the four of them stayed in Shi'an, and Duan Ziyi and Xia Hanqiu didn't bother them, giving them enough time to think about it.

In fact, Kong Ruoming was not only thinking about it, but also sent someone to send Shi An's words back to Shang Feng.

The 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 this every day, so she simply puts things aside first, and it always belongs to these four families, the Shi family and the Meng family, she can be sure.

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

Tong Qianqian had already prepared, and opened her mouth to say: "The six cities of Huiting, Bajing, Leye, Baosheng, Jiuhe, and Lanshi are planted in two seasons, and the tax grain in the first season has been put into the warehouse, and the other cities have not had time, and the first season has not been harvested yet, so the grain collection will have to be later." ”

"Anyway, five cities have been added, and the expansion of the beam is not small, if it is still like last year, I am afraid that the grain will not be able to hold on, but I hope that this year will be beautiful, and the second season can also have a bumper harvest, Jialian, Yanli, you should prepare early, in addition to the necessary levy, see how much surplus grain the people can have, and buy it all."

Fu Yingying frowned when she heard this, "Princess, you just ordered the construction of the Weapons Division not long ago, and the amount of weapons made has also increased greatly. ”

"Not only is the amount of weapons increased, but this year's winter clothes also need to be prepared, it is already August, and the north has to wear winter clothes in late autumn, as far as I can get, this year's troops have increased more than seven times compared with last year, and more than 700,000 soldiers can't let them be frozen."

"So many people?" Zhu Jialian blurted out in surprise, you must know that at the beginning, there were only more than 30,000 soldiers in the pavilion.

"We now have one-third of the world in our hands, including the entire Qin State, more than 700,000 sounds like a lot, but it can be divided into each place, the matter of the source of soldiers has its own men to worry about, we just need to ensure that they are fed, clothed, and have weapons to use, such a large amount, everything has to be prepared in advance, and now that it is past the busy time of farming, recruit more people to help."

"Yes." It's not a question of how to do your job, but the question Yingying asked before is 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 in their hearts, Meng Ningzhi said: "The Meng family had an old friend visit before, saying that they couldn't help in other things, and they were willing to help you with money, in addition, the He family is also raising silver, and it must not take long to have a specific amount to be delivered." ”

The old man of the Meng family refers to who Xia Hanqiu naturally knows, Meng Ran will delay until now to express his position, and he has already given enough face to the other three people, if it weren't for the scruples of those families, the Meng family would have stood on the side of the girder with a clear banner.
