Chapter 221: Giving Money
For the place was one earth, and every man dwelt in his own place, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Later, the connection gradually arose, and differences gradually emerged, and each person formed his own party, and gradually divided into various different forces. As their numbers grew, these self-contained factions established themselves as states and established their own political power within their respective territories.
Where there are differences, there will be strife, and these strifes will lead to greater strife, and wars will arise as a result.
Then there were more reasons for war, not just because of differences, but also because of many personal desires and resentments.
Of course, there are times of peace, but there are too few such times, and it is difficult to have a complete truce, and the more reason is that there is a trend of great harmony, and when there is a country covering the sky with one hand, there will be much less such chaos.
It is not that there is no time when there is no one kingdom that rules over all, and there is only one great unified country on the same place, but this is also a very small number, because there are always people who are dissatisfied with the submission to the same power, and have the intention of being unhappy, and act of separation.
The momentum of the hundred countries in front of us has been around for a long time, and no one can have the strength to unify the hundred countries.
The establishment of the army of the hundred clans was claimed to deal with the disputes between the clans and countries, but this move had already infringed on the power of the kings of the clans, but they were angry in their hearts, and they did not dare to speak out.
At this time, Keli invited all the clan kings to join the rebel alliance, and seeing that the number of people was increasing, she naturally couldn't bear it and joined here.
This is how the situation in front of Zi Raid came.
Fortunately, there are other clans that have joined in to help Zi Raid defend against foreign enemies, otherwise, according to the previous situation, it is difficult to say with certainty.
The king was busy with correspondence with the kings of the clans, in order to clear the relationship between the tribes, seek more allies, and have more bargaining chips in the confrontation with Kree.
"Your Majesty, King Lian has replied that he can only take out seventy percent of the money that should have been paid before."
"Seventy percent? Why is that? My son has never defaulted on a loan, so why is he unwilling to repay the full amount this time? ”
The Ministry of Finance handed over the letter to King Yu Zheng, saying: "What the letter says is that because there are many ethnic countries that have come to borrow money recently, and their financial resources are limited, they cannot borrow all of them. ”
The king sighed and put down the letterhead in his hand: "There are many clans involved in the war in front of us, and there are not a few people who borrow money from them. can take out seventy percent, which seems to be quite a lot. In this way, I will write a letter to King Lian to express my gratitude, and I will return it in the future. ”
"That'...... What should be the missing three percent? ”
The political king thought about it and was unwilling to reduce the military, so he asked him to find a way in the harem, and he would rather suffer the royal family than the soldiers who fought bloodily.
After ordering the financial affairs, he could take a short break, and the king coughed a few times unconsciously.
"Your Majesty, it's been cold lately, government affairs are important, and Your Majesty's body needs to be careful."
The king waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to care.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has suffered from some cold recently, and the Empress Niangniang specially boiled ginger tea and served it, please take care of your body."
The attendant carried a wooden bowl and spoon and entered the temple to make a prayer.
"Since she did it, why didn't she deliver it herself?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the Empress Niangniang was worried that it would affect Your Majesty's handling of government affairs, so she didn't dare to disturb, so she only ordered the slave to come and ask Your Majesty to take it."
The king nodded, beckoned, and the waiter brought the ginger tea to the front of the seat.
This simple tea bowl is not quite consistent with the previous style of the queen, although it is simpler, but it also saves a lot of extra costs, and the current strategy of provincial harem and supporting the front line coincides.
Ginger tea is strong but not spicy, and when you take a sip, you will be refreshed.
The king nodded again and again, and asked the attendant to pass on his appreciation.
After that, she sent warm-up soup and tea to the king every day, and she still used those simple tea bowls to match, which made the king's impression of her slightly better.
On the other hand, in order to reduce the expenses of the harem, Empress Dai and Shi Wangri are thinking about how to save money from daily life.
"The manpower expenses that can be cut in the palace have been reduced, and the food and clothing on weekdays have also decreased a lot, and there is still half of the amount. Where else can this be subtracted? ”
Shi Wang frowned, flipped over the ledger in his hand over and over again, and there was nothing he could do.
"This path doesn't work, there's something else." Shi Wang's eyes were unwavering, and he made some kind of decision in his heart.
"What, you're going to donate all your dowry to the military of the front-line soldiers?"
King Zheng didn't understand Shi Wang's decision very much, those were not only the wedding gifts he gave Shi Wang, but also Princess Sangping took out her own body, and even some of them were left behind by Shi Wang's mother.
Its preciousness is no less than that of a city, but Shi Wang donated all these possessions.
"These are all things outside the body, and naturally they are not comparable to the hard work of the soldiers in front of them from birth to death. Yuan Ping had been in the army and knew that the military expenses were huge. What's more, I don't know how long this war will last, so it is better to prepare the future military support in advance, so as to make long-term plans. ”
Even if the king was still a little suspicious of Shi Wang, he was slightly moved by her current words.
"Sister Wang understands righteousness, which is naturally a good thing, but these dowries are to prepare for your marriage. Even if you take it, you can't donate it all. In this way, only half of the donation will be given, and the rest will remain with you. ”
"Your Majesty," Empress Dai knelt beside Princess Yuanping, "I am also willing to donate half of the dowry and rewards for the front-line army." ”
Shi Wang's dowry is indeed for the sake of the front-line soldiers, there are her former subordinates, and there are many soldiers she has always been proud of.
And Empress Dai has an extra personal relationship.
The Wei family army fought on the front line, and if there was a lack of military resources, they would suffer if they could not keep it even.
Wei Jiajun is all her hopes, except for Wei Jiajun, she has no other opportunity to revitalize the family.
Wei Jiajun can't have anything to do, for this, even if she exhausts all her financial resources, it doesn't matter.
It's just that this is too overstepping, and for fear of arousing suspicion, he only donated half of his belongings with Princess Yuanping.
King Zheng looked at the two main forces in the harem and was very satisfied.
On the second day, boxes of sealed boxes were taken out of the two palaces and transported to the Ministry of Finance.
These chests also show the wealth of the princess and the queen, or the wealth of the past.
After hearing about this, he was not to be outdone and donated half of his belongings.
It's just that her box is a lot less than the other two.
Everyone in the palace said that this financial strength is really inherited from the family, how can the queen from a flat girl be compared with the two.
This remark was originally an exclamation, but it could be transmitted to the ears of the aftermath, but it had a sarcastic meaning.
In this way, everyone in the palace witnessed her miserable appearance, how could she swallow this breath.
When she's done, she's going to trample the people who laugh at her under her feet!
