"Tell the Jewish consortium headed by the Moses brothers, that the financial situation of the imperial court is now tight, and that half of the gold and silver they have transported will be withheld, and then the full amount will be returned when the imperial court has overcome the difficulties."

In the Jingu Garden in the northern suburbs of Luoyang, lying on a recliner, Zhang Lingyang said to Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household department who came to report the situation.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this!" Zhu Kaishan is embarrassed.

In Zhu Kaishan's opinion, Zhang Lingyang is actually no different from a robber by doing this, so he is a little embarrassed.

"What's inappropriate?" Zhang Lingyang pouted and said, "It's not that I don't return it to them, I'm just borrowing it for a while."

What is the financial situation of our Great Zhou now, no one knows better than you, the head of the household.

A month ago, I transferred 50 million taels of silver from the Royal Bank to your account, and it has only been a long time, and it is about to bottom out again, what do you think I can do?

Is it Zhu Aiqing, do you have a way to solve the current situation? ”

"The old minister is incompetent!" Zhu Kaishan laughed dryly and replied: "The old minister will do what His Majesty wants, first intercept half of the gold and silver transported by the Jewish consortium, and return it to them after the financial situation of the household department improves." ”

"That's right!" Zhang Lingyang said with a smile, "In addition, don't forget, your household still owes 50 million taels of silver to the Royal Bank, and when the financial situation of the imperial court improves, you must repay this money first."

We can't fool our own people, can we? ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true!" Zhu Kaishan said with a dry smile.

After Zhu Kaishan left, Zhang Lingyang turned his head and glanced at the screen behind him, and said, "Stinky boy, hurry up and get out of here!" ”

"Hehe, father, how did you find out about your son?" I saw the second prince Zhao Han walking out from behind the screen with a smile.

"Your father and I have fiery eyes, so I naturally discovered you at a glance!" Zhang Lingyang said with a smile.

"Look at the look, Father, you are in a very good mood today!" Zhao Han asked.

"Naturally, it's good." Zhang Lingyang chuckled, "The financial situation of the imperial court has been alleviated, can't I be happy?" ”

"Naturally not!" Zhao Han hurriedly shook his head and asked again: "Father, the emperor heard that you and Zhu Shangshu discussed and said that they would withhold half of the funds of the Jewish consortium.

Erchen didn't understand, why didn't they all be intercepted? ”

"You kid, why are you more yin than your old man!" Reaching out and tapping Zhao Han's head, Zhang Lingyang explained: "The Jewish army and the people also need money!" ”

"How much money can they need?" Zhao Han pouted and said, "Don't think that Erchen doesn't know, in the past few years, the Jews have sent a lot of gold and silver to our Great Zhou, which is enough for the Jewish army and the people to consume for five or six years." Now the gold and silver brought by the Jewish consortium will not be needed at all for a short time. ”

"What do you kid know?" Zhang Lingyang rolled his eyes and said, "I have to save this silver for the Jews, and I have to let them do big things, so naturally I can't use it all!" ”

Seeing Zhao Han's puzzled gaze, Zhang Lingyang slapped Zhao Han's head with a smile and said, "Since you know the financial situation of the imperial court, do you know the current situation of the Western Expeditionary Army?" ”

"Of course you know!" Zhao Han said, "Isn't the Western Expeditionary Army fighting a decisive battle with the Europa Coalition Army now? ”

"Yes, it's been half a month since I received the news, and I don't know where the situation on the battlefield has developed now?" Zhang Lingyang sighed, looked at Zhao Han again and said, "You said that if our Da Zhou wins, what should we do next?" ”

"What's next?" Zhao Han scratched his head and said, "Naturally, we will continue to attack westward!" ”

"And then?"

"And then?" Zhao Han said confidently, "Naturally, it will hit Europa, and hit the nest of the Anxiyi people." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Do you think the countries of Europa are so easy to fight?" Do you know how far there is between the westernmost province of Western Xinjiang in our Great Zhou Dynasty and the easternmost country of Europa, Rus' Kingdom? ”

"It's not far!" Zhao Han said, "The distance from the westernmost part of the Altai Mountains in Xijiang Province to Yuzi in Central Asia is less than 3,000 miles. And between Yuz and the Rus' country, there is a Caucasus mountain range! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang was a little crying and laughing, and asked: "Then what do you think if you want to conquer the Rus' country, how many troops do you need?" ”

"The 300,000 troops under the command of General Sun and General Ma are enough!" Zhao Han replied, "Now that the two generals are in command of an army of 300,000, they can compete with the Europa coalition army." Not to mention one of the Europa coalition forces.

Moreover, the retainers also knew that the Rus' country was at most the third most powerful country in Europa, and that the country's financial situation was so bad that it often relied on borrowing money from other countries and banks to get by.

For such a country, there is no reason why I can't win a war! ”

"What you say about friends!" The corners of Zhang Lingyang's mouth curled, and he said, "Then do you understand what is a local war and a war of aggression?"

Now that our Great Zhou and Europa coalition are at war in the Ottoman Empire, neither side is a righteous side in the final analysis.

And if we enter the territory of the Rus State to fight, our Great Zhou is the aggressor, and the Rus State is the righteous side, and they are still fighting on the mainland.

The climate and geographical environment of the Rus' country are not familiar to us in Da Zhou.

Moreover, I also heard that half of the year in the territory of Rus' is winter, and the climatic conditions are extremely harsh.

Don't just set foot on other people's land for two months, and half of them will freeze to death! ”

"No, it won't!" Zhao Han couldn't close his mouth in surprise, "The Rus Kingdom and Yuzi are only separated by a Caucasus Mountains, why is there such a big difference in climate?"

It can't be that you're deliberately talking nonsense, right? ”

"Lao Tzu is talking nonsense!" Zhang Lingyang laughed angrily, raised his leg and kicked Zhao Han in the ass, and said, "Your teacher didn't teach you about the geography of Europe?"

Why don't you go back to school and study hard?

I will give you three days, and after three days I will examine your geography coursework, and if you still behave like you do today, I will put you in confinement for three days and forbid you to eat for a day! ”

"Father, you're too ruthless!" Zhao Han said bitterly, "Father, if you don't give your son half a month, after half a month, your son will promise to memorize the knowledge on the books in the field." ”

"I'm here, have you bargained?" Zhang Lingyang glared at Zhao Han, "Hurry up and get out of here!" ”

"Son's resignation!" Zhao Han left the Golden Valley Garden with a painful face, and kept sighing on the way back.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come to Jingu Garden!"

"What have I done?"

"How can this be done in three days?"

……

"Second Emperor Brother, what are you muttering?"

Zhao Han had just walked out of Jingu Garden a few steps when he saw the third prince Zhao Xu rushing towards this side with a wild goose in his hand.

"Why is the third brother here?" Zhao Han stepped forward and asked.

"Didn't you just hunt a wild goose, so I rushed over to dedicate it to my father." Zhao Xu's eyes were full of pride.

Also, hunting a wild goose before he was an adult, Zhao Xu was proud.

"The third brother is amazing!" Zhao Han sighed in admiration and left on his own.

The remaining third prince, Zhao Xu, was messy in the wind alone, "Second Emperor Brother, what's wrong with today?" How did God Shinto? ”
