Under Zhao Xing's hard work day and night, the situation in Zhongshan has developed in the best way, the streets have slowly become neat, the shops have begun to increase, the people have begun to know etiquette, and there are fewer fights and brawls. And the days of the people began to be rich. As a result, the revenues of the treasury began to increase. But when the treasury was abundant, the king began to be extravagant with joy, and his expenditures became more and more large, and on the whole, closer to making ends meet, but this no longer seemed to be a problem.

Now, the great Zhongshan Wangcuo is more and more appreciative of the prince's ability, and he has completely delegated his power to enjoy the days of his greatness. The prince's gratitude to Zhao Xing is beyond measure, and he runs to Zhao Xing almost every day to ask about state affairs, and really regards Zhao Xing as a guest secretary and a help who is not a helper.

On this day, Zhao Xing rarely stopped working, sat in his hall in Zhongshan, looked at books, drank tea, and silently calculated the income of his small treasury, and then he saw a sneaky guy come in, and then he was surprised to find that Xu Jie, this kid, was obviously emaciated.

"Why are you here, is there something big going on in Daijun?" Zhao Xing asked in surprise. Then tilted his head to look at Xu Jie: "I'm not in Daijun, you, the elder of the long-history cabinet, have full authority to handle everything in Daijun, it can be said that you have a monopoly on power, and the small days should be a moisturized mess, you should be fat and become a pig, not like now, thin into a dog." ”

Since Zhao Xing implemented the cabinet system, his burden was much easier at that time, just like now, his own Daijun is responsible for the entire war to send Gongzi to Yan State, and the entire logistics are Daijun, but the number one leader of this Daijun ran to Zhongshan to harm people, just like people who have nothing to do, and they are proud of this system.

Now Daijun only needs to come in a paperwork every few days and report the general matter, and then he will be fine. There is something, and it is also a matter of the cabinet, Zhao Xing doesn't care, and he doesn't want to take care of it, it's all in charge of Xu Jie, the second person in this county.

Xu Jie is indeed a talent, he is quite qualified as the CEO of Xingjun Mansion, everything is handled properly, and there is no need for Zhao Xing, the chairman, to worry about it.

And the hundred officials are also willing to deal with Xu Jie, this is without the constraints of strict hierarchy of superiors and subordinates, after all, everyone is a courtier, in a hurry, really dare to make noise and dare to do something with Xu Jie. At the same time, several people in the cabinet, everything was decided in a joyous quarrel. In fact, this is more in line with the people's hearts and style of doing things in this era, and these things are more in line with the people's hearts than Zhao Xing, who is still not very integrated with the world.

As a result, when he was making money here, Xu Jie suddenly came over, something must have happened, and everyone can't do without a backbone.

Picking up the tea poured by Zhao Xing, drinking it dry in one gulp regardless of the heat and cold, and then wiping his mouth, Xu Jie first asked Zhao Xing: "Take the money." ”

Zhao Xing was stunned: "No, the money is in my wife's hands, you don't know." And the money is in Qi Fei's hands, in fact, it is in your hands, how can you ask me for money, this is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Xu Jie was as miserable as his little daughter-in-law: "The money in Madame's hand has been lent to the people, because you promised South Korea to borrow 10 million, so it is almost emptied." And the money in the treasury, because of the war in the entire Yan Kingdom, has been withdrawn too much and consumed too much, and our household department has almost no money. ”

"And how did this money come out?"

"Because the war went well, the cities that originally welcomed the Qi country heard the wind and moved, and they all came to serve the prince. As a result, those who surrender need to be rewarded, and the people who belong need to be appeased, and the prince has no money in his hands, so he asks for the king's help. The monarch didn't want to pay any more, so he pushed the matter to Daijun. But our rule is to live within our means, the budget has already been prepared, without this money, everyone dare not disobey the monarch, and the housewife wants and does not give, so everyone unanimously pushed me out and looked for you. Then he stretched out his hand: "Mally, 20 million money, give it to me, I have to leave quickly, there are many things at home, I don't dare to leave for a long time." ”

In the war of the Yan State, Zhao Xing was not worried about losing like history, after all, he sent out Le Yi, who had defeated the Qi State. Coupled with his 30,000 cavalry and sufficient logistics, if he loses for himself again, it will really be a ghost.

But 20 million is the money for the post-war reconstruction of the additional son-in-law, which is indeed not in line with the financial policy of Daijun, which needs to be paid by Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing is rich, quite rich, but how to loan out this money and how to recover it, the most important thing is to take it back extraordinarily, which needs to be considered.

Pinching his chin and squinting his eyes, Zhao Xing muttered, "What is there in Yan Guo that can guarantee and mortgage me?" At this point, I have to figure it out, the current Yan Kingdom, I don't think there is anything to mortgage. ”

"Reputation—"

Zhao Xing waved his hand: "Reputation is the duty that you gentlemen should have, for me as a businessman, it is useless, it is better to take some benefits." ”

Xu Jie covered his face, and there was really no way for him to be a gentleman at this time.

"I talked to Gongzi, and he is willing to use ten cities as collateral."

Ten cities, not small.

"However, he used the ten cities occupied by Zhongshan as collateral."

Zhao Xing smiled, "|Child's job, it's really a son's job, it's both to please me and do something, but I don't plan to pay it back, I don't want to offend Yanren, it's so calculating, it's so calculating." ”

"Gongzizhi, I know that we must destroy Zhongshan, and then the thirty cities occupied by Zhongshan will definitely be occupied by us and not returned. When the time comes, we will turn around and do it, so he will use the Ten Cities as a mortgage in disguise. Of course, he understands better that this time Zhao Guo sent him back to China, and he must pay yes, and he can't repay him for cooperating with Zhao Guo to destroy Zhongshan. Therefore, instead of the thirty cities that may be occupied by our Zhao State in the future, it is better to directly use the ten cities as collateral, which can exchange us for 20 million of the money he urgently needs, and at the same time, explain to the countrymen. The most important thing is that de jure, he has reached an agreement with the monarch that even if Zhao State captures the other twenty cities in the future, I'm sorry, it must be returned to Yan State. What a calculation. Xu Jie said that the cloud was light and light, because he didn't want to show merit, because, at the beginning, the prince only wanted to exchange the two cities, among them, Xu Jie used coercion and temptation, and in the end, he came up with the means of withdrawing troops.

Zhao Yong has no way to withdraw Le Yi, because Le Yi is the lord's arm, this is not a national war, and Zhao Xing, the lord, has no obligation to serve the country. This is the rule, and this cannot be broken.

"Twenty million dollars, ten cities, is already a lot, so this money is equivalent to the purchase of ten cities, and it cannot be recovered, so it is reasonable for the lord mother not to take it, and the treasury not to take it. It seems that I really have to pay for this money myself. Zhao Xing smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, I have also earned millions in this year, and the shortfall will be transferred to the four customs clearances." ”

Now Sitong Customs is already the trade center of the world, and the goods traded there every day are difficult to calculate, so Zhao Hao and Congsheng have become rich. At the beginning, the monarch wanted to transfer Congsheng to Handan to take up a high position, but he resolutely refused, so he did not hesitate to lose his position as a general, and the beautiful name was to keep this money bag for the monarch. In fact, he was there reasonably and legally crazy to collect money for his own small family, in principle, his current money is no less than that of the monarch, so he is not willing to give up real money for a false name.

From his point of view, it is enough to imagine how much wealth Zhao Xing will bring to Zhao Xing every year by taking the four clearances, even if it is more than enough to help feed the 50,000 monarchs.

The lord had already arranged the funds, and Xu Jie was relaxed, and then talked to Zhao Xing in detail about the war on the front line.

The whole war went quite smoothly, and now the army of Prince Taiping has been defeated, and the prince has succeeded to the throne in Youyicheng of Yan State. The generals of the Yan State resisting the Qi State, Guo Huai and Wu Sheng, have been loyal to the current King of Yan, and with their cooperation, the army of the Zhao State has been victorious, and the general Kuang Zhang of the Qi State has already reported to the King of Qi that there is no intention of withdrawing the troops. The rebellion of the Yan Kingdom is coming to an end.

Very good, everything has finally developed according to its own will, and now, Yan Guo is already the ironcore ally of Zhao State, and the issue of Zhongshan is once again on the agenda.
