Shangguan Xiu shook the note in his hand and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

The eldest grandson Boyuan said: "The news from the person I installed in the Second Prince's Mansion is absolutely reliable. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Shangguan Xiu nodded, took out the fire fold, burned the note, and reminded: "Cover his identity, don't let people find out the flaws, the Xin family's eyeliner is pervasive." ”

The eldest grandson Boyuan smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, don't worry, I have already made comprehensive arrangements, even if I find out all the eight generations of his ancestors, I can't find any flaws." ”

"That's good. ”

"What I'm most worried about now is that Song Sheng refuses to help my imperial brother!"

Shangguan Xiu's eyes rolled, smiled leisurely, and said, "Then pour some oil on the fire in Song Sheng's heart!"

Wind Country, Shangjing.

This morning, Tang Ling sat on the dragon chair, holding a note in his hand.

This note was written by Meng Qiuchen, which roughly means that the war is imminent, there is a shortage of money and food in the army, and the treasury is empty, and it is impossible to allocate a large amount of silver for food and salary, so Meng Qiuchen proposed that the ministers of the court should take the lead in donating money.

Fighting a war is actually fighting money, and if you don't have enough financial resources to support it, no matter how strong your combat power is, you can't fight it.

Tang Ling attaches great importance to Meng Qiuchen's recital. She read the content of the song in public, then looked at Cai Xiao and said, "Cai Aiqing!"

"Wechen is here!"

"Now, how much silver can we withdraw from our treasury?"

"This ......" Cai Xiao pondered for a moment, then looked back at Chancellor of the Exchequer Gan Lin who was standing behind. Gan Lin hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, bowed his hand and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the treasury can raise up to 18 million taels of silver!"

"Only eighteen million taels?" Tang Ling frowned.

Gan Lin Zhengse said: "The replacement of weapons in the army cost a lot of silver, some time ago, Ning County was affected, and the imperial court took out a large amount of silver, as well as the construction of various towns in North County, the construction of border fortresses, and so on, all of which require silver, and the treasury is really no silver available now." ”

Tang Ling sighed secretly and said, "It seems that the next national war really needs the generosity of Rank Aiqing. After pondering for a moment, she said, "Cai Aiqing, Qiu Aiqing!"

"Weichen is here!" Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi both bowed.

"This donation will be organized by the two Aiqing, don't let me down, let alone let the soldiers in front of you lazy to fight because of lack of money and food!"

"Weichen obeys the order!" Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi bowed down again and ordered the order to return to the train.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi walked together.

"Meng Qiuchen's note must be Guogong's idea!" Cai Xiao said in a firm tone.

Meng Qiuchen is just a native of Ningnan, even if he was made a marquis in the country of wind, he is still a native of Ningnan, if it is not for Shangguan Xiu's instructions, how dare he himself make such a recital to His Majesty.

Qiu Yi also felt the same way, nodded and said, "Yes, this should be the idea of His Royal Highness Guogong." ”

Cai Xiao was angry, shook his head and said: "Guogong is visiting Ningnan now, and he is in Tianjing, but he won't let us stop." ”

Qiu Yi smiled and didn't answer.

Cai Xiao glanced at him and asked, "Lord Qiu is willing?"

"What willingly?"

"Donate!"

"Your Majesty has already made an order!" Qiu Yi reminded. What if you are not willing?

Cai Xiao said faintly: "The war with the Besa country, the money and food needed for the war are provided by us, but the benefits earned after the war are exclusively enjoyed by the Guogong, we, the ministers, can't get anything, His Royal Highness the Guogong is really a good calculation!"

Qiu Yi's lips moved, but he still didn't answer after all. His heart is not very happy, more precisely, as long as it involves asking him to pay, his heart will not be happy.

Shangguan Xiu proposed to fight with Besa, but the money and food had to be put together by the ministers, there is no such reason! If you can afford to fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will not fight, what is the matter now!

Cai Xiao knows Qiu Yi's personality very well, this is a money fan, whoever wants to touch his money is simply touching his life.

While the two of them were talking, Song Sheng caught up and asked straight to the point, "Two adults, how much are you going to donate this time?"

Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi glanced at each other, and asked in unison, "What about you, Lord Song?"

The corners of Song Sheng's mouth raised, he sneered, and stretched out five fingers.

Qiu Yi asked curiously, "Fifty thousand taels?"

Song Sheng shook his head. "Five hundred thousand taels?" Qiu Yi asked with wide eyes. Song Sheng still shook his head. At this moment, Qiu Yi's eyeballs were about to pop out, his voice was sharp, and he asked in disbelief, "Five million taels?"

His Majesty ordered him and Cai Xiao to organize donations, and if Song Sheng both donated five million taels, wouldn't he, the organizer, donate more than five million taels? Isn't this asking for his own life?

Song Sheng snorted and said, "Five thousand taels!"

"What?" Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi looked at him like monsters.

"Five thousand taels, one tael more, the old man won't donate!" Song Sheng said through gritted teeth. Shangguan Xiu killed his youngest son, and now he has to donate money to him, he really thinks he is a soft persimmon pinch!" "Even if it causes His Majesty's dissatisfaction this time, and is punished by His Majesty, the old man will donate 5,000 taels!"

Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi glanced at each other and shook their heads in unison. Song Sheng's mood, they can both understand, now ask Song Sheng to donate a large amount of silver to Shangguan Xiu, it is indeed difficult for a strong man, it is too unkind.

The three of them were talking, and it happened that Zi Yiling walked briskly past the three of them, and Qiu Yi hurriedly raised his hand and shouted, "General Zi!"

"Huh?" Zi Yiling was stunned for a moment, stopped, looked at the three of them, bowed his hand, and said, "Lord Cai, Lord Qiu, Lord Song!"

Zi Yiling is Shangguan Xiu's confidant, and to a certain extent, his words can represent Shangguan Xiu's thoughts. Qiu Yi returned the salute and asked with a smile: "There is something, the old man wants to ask General Zi for a lesson or two!"

"Lord Qiu, please have something to say!"

Qiu Yi looked at Cai Xiao and Song Sheng beside him, rolled his eyes, and asked with a smile: "General Zi, you say, Lord Cai, Lord Song, and the old man, how much silver should be donated this time?"

"This ......"

Zi Yiling was about to shake his head, Qiu Yi smiled and said, "We just said this in private, General Zi said it is okay!"

He wanted to explore the bottom of Shangguanxiu first through the mouth of Ziyiling, so as to save himself from donating less, making Shangguanxiu unhappy, donating too much, and causing his liver to tremble and hurt.

Zi Yiling pretended to be contemplative, rubbed her chin, pondered for a while, stretched out two fingers, made a gesture of eight, and said in a low voice: "The last general thinks that the three adults, as the ministers of the humerus of my wind country, should play an exemplary role, and it is better for each to donate 800,000 taels!"

800,000 taels, for the Cai family and the Song family who opened the silver number, it is a drop in the bucket, but listening to Qiu Yi's ears, his facial features are almost crumbling, 800,000 taels, that's 800,000 taels, how long will it take for him to earn back the 800,000 taels?

After speaking, seeing that the three court giants did not say anything more, Zi Yiling scratched his head, arched his hand and said: "Three adults, the last general still has important tasks to do, so I will leave first!" After speaking, he turned around and walked away quickly.

Waiting for Ziyiling to walk away, Qiu Yi cried with his old face, couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and sighed: "This time, His Royal Highness Guogong has opened his mouth!"

Cai Xiao shrugged indifferently, 800,000 taels was nothing to him, he turned his eyes to Song Sheng, and said with a smile: "Lord Song, I heard it, this time, if you don't want to break the bank, I'm afraid it won't work!"

"Hmph!" Song Sheng snorted coldly and said, "Originally, I was going to donate 5,000 taels, but Shangguan Xiu deceived people too much, how could I make him feel better? 800,000 taels? Joke! This time, I will donate 800 taels, I want to see what Shangguan Xiu can do to the old man?!"

Eight hundred taels? What kind of donation is this, this is a shame! Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi glanced at each other, the corners of the former's mouth were raised, and his face was smiling, while the latter looked worried.

Song Sheng really did what he said this time, he said to donate 800 taels, and in the end he really only donated 800 taels, in stark contrast to him, Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi each donated 800,000 taels.

After Tang Ling saw the list of donations, he was also very dissatisfied with Song Sheng's performance, and in the court, he repeatedly knocked on the side and called Song Sheng, asking him to put the overall situation of the country first, and not to be carried away by personal grievances.

If Tang Ling had mentioned it so slightly before, Song Sheng would have done what she wanted, but this time, Song Sheng was the king of the eight who ate the scales, and he was determined to fight against Shangguan Xiu, and he was completely confused about Tang Ling's reminder.

Donate, donate, donate how much is all voluntary, Song Sheng has to donate 800 taels, Tang Ling can't do anything with him, besides, Tang Ling also knows where Song Sheng's heart is, after all, his favorite youngest son was killed by Shangguan Xiu, no matter what the reason, after all, a son died, and now he wants to donate 800,000 taels like Cai Xiao and Qiu Yi, with Song Sheng's temper and heart, he can't do it anyway.

On the second day after the end of the donation of the Wind Country, an explosive news came into the Song Mansion, the Yuzhen branch of the Kaiyuan Silver was robbed, and the silver that was robbed, no more or less, was 799,200 taels, and if you count the 800 taels of silver donated by Song Sheng before, it was exactly 800,000 taels.

When Song Sheng heard the news, his eyes turned black with anger, his body trembled suddenly, and suddenly, his throat and eyes were fishy, and a stream of old blood gushed out of his chest.

"Shangguan Xiu deceived me too much......" Before the words were finished, Song Sheng couldn't help but wow, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

The royal town semicolon, but the largest branch of the Kaiyuan silver number, the silver treasury is heavy, the masters gather, the Song family, the top ten masters, three of them are in the royal town semicolon, which shows the strict defense of the royal town semicolon.

But under the strict supervision of so many masters, the silver treasury can still be robbed, except for Shangguan Xiu, who else can do it?

Moreover, the silver stored in the silver treasury of the Imperial Town Branch is more than 800,000 taels, and I am afraid that it will not be more than 5 million taels. And the silver that was robbed was 799,200 taels, no more and no less, this was obviously Shangguan Xiu's doing, he did this, obviously telling you, how much I want you to donate, you have to donate as much as I want you to donate, if you don't want to, then, I'll take it myself!

Song Sheng had never suffered such humiliation in his life, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
