Chapter 417: Turning the tables against the wind
Sheng Ze saw that she didn't speak, and continued: "I'm sorry about Taifu and Ling Zun, but it happened suddenly, Ling Yun and I were controlled and locked up in the dungeon of Sheng Zhan's dormitory......"
He explained in detail what he could do at that time, and he didn't want Shen Qingqian to forgive, but just stated a fact.
“…… Now that you know who I am, you don't have to be so polite to me in the future. ”
The last sentence is what Sheng Ze wants to say the most.
He had felt that Shen Qingqian was very polite to him before, and that feeling made him very uncomfortable, as if she had completely excluded him from his life.
Shen Qingqian recovered from the shock, and looked at Sheng Ze's eyes still revealing a bit of indescribability.
He confessed, and she would only be farther away from him in the future.
But it's not the time to talk about these things now, Sheng Ze's words are very informative, it turns out that he and Ling Yun were locked up by Sheng Zhan at that time, no wonder the change of the throne didn't make any bloody storms.
She doesn't care about these things, all she cares about is whether the Shen family can live safely in the future.
"What are your highness's plans now?" Shen Qingqian asked when he thought about it.
When Sheng Ze heard her address, his face immediately changed, "You ......"
He wanted to ask her why she was like this, but as soon as the words came out, his heart surged with self-deprecation, "Your Highness" was shouted, can't he still show his attitude?
Sheng Ze let down the bitterness in his heart, and changed his words, "If Sheng Zhan is really suitable to sit in that position, I will avenge my mother after the Great Jin Dynasty is stabilized; But at the moment, it seems that he is not suitable. ”
The implication is that he will not only take revenge, but also take back what belongs to him.
Shen Qing nodded lightly, "So you plan to use northern Hubei as a fulcrum to turn the tables against the wind?" ”
"Turning the tables against the wind?" Sheng Ze raised his eyebrows, and quickly understood the meaning of the word, "Sort of." ”
Shen Qingqian continued: "But this road is not easy to walk. ”
"I know, but something has to be done." Sheng Ze's eyes were deep, and the focus in his eyes was no longer on Shen Qingqian.
Shen Qingqian was noncommittal, "Then how do you plan to solve the food crisis in northern Hubei?" ”
Now you don't have to think about it to know that Sheng Ze and Liang Cheng definitely have a leg, oh no, they have definitely had a relationship for a long time, and the relationship is not ordinary, otherwise Liang Cheng would never dare to take him in.
Her question made Sheng Ze fall into deep thought.
Liang Cheng and Zheng Shicheng had the same idea, both of which were to ask for grain from the imperial court at the same time, increase the grain tax in northern Hubei this year, and send people to various places to collect grain.
The third point is that it is because the Northern Hubei Army has no money.
He was not opposed to asking the imperial court for grain, but he was not in favor of increasing the grain tax of the people in northern Hubei.
Northern Hubei was not a high-yield place in the first place, and the previous grain tax was already the bottom line, and if it was added, the people would definitely go hungry.
He believed that Liang Cheng and Zheng Shicheng must also know the consequences of doing this, but there was really no other way at the moment.
To feed an army of 100,000 is really expensive with money and food.
Now the Northern Hubei Army is still the imperial court on the surface, guarding the northern gate for the imperial court, once his identity is exposed, the Northern Hubei Army will no longer be able to get the slightest support from the imperial court, and then it will be the most difficult time for the Northern Hubei Army.
He still has a method, but he doesn't want to use it unless he has to.
Therefore, Shen Qingqian's question, Sheng Ze didn't know how to answer.
"Don't you have any feasible solutions?" Shen Qingqian was a little incredulous.
A flash of doubt flashed in Sheng Ze's eyes, why did she always say something she hadn't heard today?
