When Anche was about to arrive at the royal capital, a faint smell of blood had wafted from ahead.

Yin Ji sighed lightly in her heart, and heard Wei Yizhi say: "Master, the disciples have something to ask for." ”

"You say."

"The disciple is shy in his pocket, and hopes that the master can borrow a sum of money."

As soon as these words came out, Abu, who was standing aside, was greatly surprised.

He originally thought that Wei Yizhi was asking Lord Guowu to intercede on his behalf.

King Wei killed his wife and absconded, intending to rebel, and after being captured by General Mengxin with his troops, all those involved in this matter must be liquidated, and Wei Ping is among them.

Even if the Wei family did not know about this matter, the laws of Zhaoguo have always punished rebellion, and those involved in this case were either demoted to Chengdan or exiled by their families.

As a result, Wei Yizhi actually just borrowed money?

Yin Ji agreed very simply: "How much do you want?" ”

Without waiting for Wei Yizhi's answer, Abu already showed a look of embarrassment: "Lord Guowu, you don't have much cash. ”

It's a little awkward to say.

Yin Changying has long stipulated that the treatment of national witches is comparable to that of the princes, above the prince and even the queen mother, and is one level lower than the king.

Shaofu didn't dare to offend Yin Yin, everything was the best, and it was over the specifications, over the quantity, and very thoughtful in all aspects.

But the problem is that the Zhao State gave the courtiers a salary, but did not give the princes.

This is also very well explained.

The court is a minister, and the princes are kings, so how can there be a reason for courtiers to distribute money to the king?

This also means that the courtiers can receive no food and cloth every month.

It's just that she is not like ordinary princesses, she has fiefs and eats, and she can collect taxes.

Even if the magnates do not have the above two incomes, they can rely on their disciples and clansmen to annex land and grab wealth; Merchants will also be attached to it, and they will have to supply their bankrupt property; Not to mention the "favor fee", "benefit fee", as well as the unspoken rules in the political arena, and so on.

Yin Ji didn't.

Of course, if she really wants money, it doesn't take a day, and the ministers, businessmen, and beauties who are willing to give her money can surround the Hanzhang Palace.

Even if he didn't want to break this example, he directly sent Abu to Shaofu to ask for it, but Shaofu didn't dare not send money.

But Yin Ji was only silent for a moment before asking: "I remember that every New Year's holiday, the palace will give gold?" ”

Abu whispered, "Only six hundred gold." ”

This is still counting Yin Xi's gifts from "birth" to the present, all the New Year's gifts.

It was so shabby that Abu couldn't hold his head up.

You must know, not to mention Zheng Gao or him, even the slightly ordinary temple people around the king, and the cost of the harem beauties asking for errands (which may not be possible) are all starting from 100 gold.

If it involves the previous dynasty, take the decree as an example, the tea fee is ten gold; Once the life and death of the minister is involved, the daughter can make them open their mouths.

Yin Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

She originally thought that she really didn't have any money, but now she realized that it was just that Abu was used to seeing big scenes, and it was just not appropriate to take money.

"Six hundred gold for you, is that enough?"

"Enough of it." Wei Yizhi said calmly, "In the market, one or two pieces of gold are enough to cost a strong man his life." Six hundred gold, which can buy the lives of everyone in a town. ”

When Abu heard this, he also understood what Wei Yizhi was doing with money.

Once the Wei family is exiled, the most bitter thing is the woman.

Wei Yizhi borrowed money from Yin Cheng in the hope of hiring a group of rangers to protect the women of the Wei family along the way and prevent them from being humiliated.

There was nothing wrong with this idea, but Abu reminded him that "if you ransom people, it will be much more than that." ”

Merchants are very willing to spend money in order to buy the ladies of the nobles of the family to entertain guests, give away, and have fun, and a young woman, if she looks more beautiful, may be able to sell it for hundreds of gold.

"It doesn't matter." Wei Yizhi was very calm, "I can also borrow it from Brother Sun." ”

Abu stopped talking.

Yin Cheng said softly: "If you want to say anything, just say it directly, if Yi Zhi can't think of it, you can just remind him." ”

Abu bowed to Yin Cheng before saying, "Listen to Gongzi Wei, if the Wei family is demoted to Chengdan, you are not ready to show up, you just want to pay for the female dependents in your family in private?" ”

Wei Yizhi nodded, a little helpless: "It can only be so." ”

He understands better than anyone how many privileges the Wei family enjoys in the country.

Five generations of Wei Xiang, a century-old family, have unscrupulously trampled on the laws of the country, which has long become a habit.

To put it mildly, as long as these princely families do not offend the king, what they do in the country can only be described as "lawless".

But Zhaoguo has always been governed by a Legalist, and the sanctity of the law cannot be destroyed, even the Lord Guowu does not step on that line, how can he set this precedent?

If the Wei family knows, even if they are implicated in the crime of rebellion, they will not be punished, which is not a good thing for Zhaoguo and the Wei family.

Therefore, Wei Yizhi can't manage the Wei family.

At least on the surface, he has to behave extremely ruthlessly, so that the officials in charge of handling affairs will not open up because of their scruples about him.

But he can't just watch his sisters-in-law and nieces being bullied, or even falling into the dust, and it's none of his business, right?

Abu said in a low voice: "If the Wei family is demoted, if you don't come forward, you will definitely not be able to buy the Wei family's daughters." ”

"I know someone must buy them at a high price and give them back to me." Wei Yizhi replied, "I just need to inquire about the price, add a thank you gift, and return it with interest." ”

He was confident that no one would dare to take his nieces as concubines at the risk of offending him.

But he knows better that these people spend a lot of money in order to get his favor and even favor. When it matters, I can speak for them.

Wei Yizhi would rather be burdened with huge debts than owe favors to others.

Especially the love of people with ulterior motives.

Since Wei Yizhi had already thought so clearly, Abu didn't say anything, just listened to Yin Cheng say: "You go back to the mansion first, and I will ask Wanzi to send someone to give you the money." ”

Wei Yizhi made a deep gesture and expressed his gratitude.

Yin Chen's mood was very heavy: "I don't know if Fan Chen has come back?" ”

Four days ago, Zheng Gao suddenly appeared, saying that the front line was urgent, the road was blocked, and the information was blocked, only from the mouth of the person who escaped by luck, a huge phoenix bird appeared in the sky.

Yin Changying ordered Fan Chen to set off immediately, go to Jiangling County as soon as possible to investigate the situation, and urgently recruited Yin Cheng to lead the entire family engineering team back to the royal capital.

Along the way, Yin Ji's heart was hanging.

She couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the unknown enemy had already discovered the situation in Zhao Guo and started to attack them?

Because of this, when Yin Ji stepped into the main hall of the Yan Dynasty, she was in a hurry.

Before she could ask what the situation was on the front line, she saw Yin Changying push her a bamboo slip: "Chu Slow's desperate letter, take a look!" ”
