Chapter 0032: The Empire in Danger

"I'm just a flat-headed commoner, and you are a royal relative, and our status and identity are very different. I think there are a lot of things where our thoughts and opinions don't coincide. This may be an internal conflict within your family, so I can't comment on it. But in this matter, your father has an unshirkable responsibility, and there should be nothing to say about it. ”

Chen Xuan was a little indignant, he stood up suddenly, and was about to continue to reason with Ji Ruohua, but his eyes just happened to see the white-faced scholar Chen Jiageng, so he quickly shrank back.

"County Lord, despite the disparity in our status, we speak softly. However, I hope that your father will be sensitive to the feelings of the people and sympathize with the sufferings of the people. Of course, he has shown the greatest sincerity in sending you here this time, and in this regard, we Yimen Chen have to thank him well. Tan Kah Kee said.

"It's still Mr. Chen's sensible, unlike some people...... I said that it is ugly to say that it is called dog biting Lu Dongbin and does not know the hearts of good people, if it weren't for me and the county lord's sister who traveled thousands of miles, I'm afraid today's Yimen Chen would no longer exist. Feng'er glanced at Chen Xuan and said with something in her words.

"Sister, if you still speak so lightly, then I have to ask you to go to the kitchen...... Ji Ruohua said.

"Sister, I'm telling the truth. Why are you like this kid, you are a virtue when you speak, and you want me to go to the kitchen at every turn?! Don't say it, when it comes to the kitchen, my stomach is really hungry, and I don't eat or drink for most of the day, even if I am a fairy, I am afraid that I will soon become a ......."

"Then you hurry up to the kitchen and urge you to see it, and call that one Chen...... Chen called over or something......"

Chen Fangguo...... It's because of his cheap mouth that I asked him to go away......"

"Oh, I see, I thought you were usually like this to your own minions. Chen Jiageng said with a relieved face.

"Sir, I don't see him as my minion, he is my family, I am his master. Chen Xuan's face was a little unhappy and said.

Under Ji Ruohua's repeated urging, Ji Xiaofeng also went to the kitchen at this time, and he didn't show it for the time being.

I only heard Ji Ruohua continue to ask: "Dare to ask Mr. Chen, since this Yimen Chen is also your hometown, then you should know the customs and real estate customs in this area best." ”

Chen Jiageng nodded slightly and said: "I know a little bit below, the county lord just mentioned that Yimen Chen's field was annexed to the family of a powerful minister of the imperial court, I don't know if they have other purposes, which is exactly what I am worried about." ”

"Yes, my father Emperor is also worried, this Eastern Family and the Divine Emperor are wearing a pair of pants, and they are now planning to accumulate strength, well, one day they will unite to start an incident, replace it, and then divide the country of Great Chu into two...... None of us want to see this kind of outcome. I think even you ordinary people...... The main thing is the national turmoil, and in the end, it is the ordinary people who suffer the most, do you say it? ”

"I'm also worried about this, then our Yimen Chen will start to suffer now. ”

"Can you tell me about the spirit stone, I'm lonely and unheard......"

Chen Xuan was most interested in this topic, because if he didn't have this thing, then there would be no raw materials for cultivation at that time, and the improvement speed of his cultivation would be greatly reduced.

"It was in Dagu Mountain, which was just obtained by the people of the Dongfang family, and I haven't had time to measure the land yet, but I think it's going to be soon, maybe at the end of this year. Ji Ruohua said.

"We must not let them get it, this is the ancestral home of our Yimen Chen, I think if our ancestors have eyes in the sky, they must not want to see this kind of ending, isn't it Mr. Chen?!"

"Of course yes, but I think we all have to discuss a better countermeasure, and we must not let them succeed in the end. Aren't their people not here yet, so we won't let them come......" Tan Kah Kee said.

"Can't make it to them?!"

"Yes. Only before they finally come, let the imperial court take back their fate, and our ancestral land can be saved. Therefore, we must come up with as many countermeasures as possible, otherwise it will be too late to say anything. ”

"Is that someone helping us?!"

Chen Jiageng smiled and said: "Far away in the sky, close in front of you, this monarch is the great nobleman of our Yimen Chen." ”

"After my father gave me a special mission, I felt that I could not do it on my own. Because of the power of the Divine Emperor and the Dongfang family, it is really a one-handed cover in the imperial court, and every day when I go to the court, it is a kind of torment for my father. They often united in the imperial court, and gave my father a look on his face, and when discussing state affairs, he suffered all kinds of cynicism. Recently, you may not know that the border of our Great Chu has started to be full of wolf smoke again......"

Hearing this, Chen Jiageng asked: "National affairs are the responsibility of the husband, what you said about our border in Dachu is in trouble again?!"

Ji Ruohua said: "That's right. In the past few years, our Great Chu Empire has signed some unequal treaties with neighboring countries, stipulating that there are years of coins and the like, and there are many losses of silver taels every year. ”

"How much do you give them every year?!" Chen Xuan was also curious and asked.

"Originally, this is a state secret, and I shouldn't have told you casually. Now that you're asking about it, I'm going to say it's okay. That's the case, in the unequal treaty signed at the beginning, it was stipulated that our Great Chu Empire would send them 20,000 coins every year. At the beginning, the other party thought that so much was already very good. Because of so many years of coins, it is equivalent to 1/3 of the annual tax revenue of our Great Chu Empire. But in the last year or two, those neighboring countries have suffered famine every year, and they have also had wars with each other, and their need for money is much more urgent than before, so they opened their mouths and asked us to increase the delivery of coins, and in this way, they asked for a doubling to 40,000 coins. ”

"If this is really the case, then we will be ruined, and then we ordinary people will not be able to live. Chen Xuan said angrily.

"Therefore, it is useless for Brother Chen Xuan to be angry, we still have to think of ways to deal with it, so that we can truly share our worries for ......the country," Chen Jiageng said.

What he said is very reasonable, as the so-called rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband.

Now the Great Chu Empire is in danger, and there are major families fighting each other, fighting to the death.

There are strong enemies outside, ready to pounce at all times, wanting to put them to death and hurry up.

Therefore, as a cultivator, you can't just see your own two acres and three points of land, you must share your worries for the country.

Even be prepared to dedicate yourself when necessary.
