Growth Volume Chapter 242: Grudges and Grievances Laugh It Off
Ji Wushuang was stunned for a moment, in the eyes of outsiders, the young man may be naΓ―ve and ignorant, but in his opinion, what Xiao Chen retains is a pure heart that is difficult for ordinary people to find.
Once upon a time, he was like Xiao Chen, but so long that he even forgot when it was.
He didn't want to nag Xiao Chen for anything, since Xiao Chen was still willing to believe in himself, then he Ji Wushuang, why not give him a Wei State?
Xiao Chen suddenly turned his head to look at Ji Wushuang and asked, "Sir, can I know who she really is?"
"Princess Qianguo, Shangguan Qin!" Ji Wushuang looked at Xiao Chen and replied word by word.
In fact, Ji Wushuang didn't say it, but he really admired this strange woman who paid for Xiao Chen for Yong'an, even if Xiao Chen didn't ask, Ji Wushuang would tell Xiao Chen the truth, because no matter what decision Xiao Chen made in the future, Shangguan Qin's actions were worth remembering Yong'an and Xiao Chen for a lifetime.
"It's a good name." Xiao Chen suddenly smiled, and smiled a little relieved: "Isn't this much better than wind talk?" What a silly girl. β
Patting his ass and getting up, Xiao Chen said lightly: "I'll leave it to Mr. here." β
Looking at the back of the young man leaving, Ji Wushuang suddenly said: "You are so relieved that I Ji Wushuang?" β
Xiao Chen stopped and turned his head to look at Ji Wushuang.
Ji Wushuang continued: "I'm Li Luo's military advisor, and now everything on your desk is Yong'an's top secret, aren't you afraid that I will secretly hollow out your Yong'an by doing this?" β
After taking a deep look at Ji Wushuang, Xiao Chen smiled freely and said, "What a talent, sir, if you want to move Yong'an's mind, why bother so much?" β
"Besides, I also believe that Mr. will do what he says, although I don't know what Mr. will do in the future, but I can probably guess that in Sir's heart, I am afraid that I have already considered my plans after taking over the Wei Kingdom. So the current matter, naturally I don't need Xiao Chen to point fingers anymore. β
Ji Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and for a while he didn't know if Xiao Chen was really free and easy, or if he was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.
After a while, Ji Wushuang smiled dumbly again, he was actually suspicious in front of a person who everyone in the world felt that he didn't learn and didn't know what to laugh at by the world.
Shaking his head and throwing some ridiculous thoughts out of his mind, Ji Wushuang said with a straight face: "I have indeed calculated the matter of Bai Qi and Ling Hu Chu, but now the prince also has one matter imminent. β
Xiao Chen twisted his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" β
Ji Wushuang pointed to the report on the side: "The old prince loves the people like a son, and Yong'an's taxes are far lower than those in Wei, but because of this, Yong'an's finances are actually far from being as glamorous as they seem. β
Xiao Chen didn't speak, but there was a deep contemplation between his eyebrows. Xiao Chen, who has wandered in time in Qianguo and has seen the suffering of the people, is naturally unwilling to put the burden of taxation on the people, but he must also solve the problem of Yong'an as soon as possible, which is his unshirkable responsibility and obligation as the king of Yong'an.
"How much silver is needed to sustain it." Xiao Chen asked in a deep voice.
Ji Wushuang thought about it and said lightly: "In my expectation, after a year, Yongan can be self-sufficient, but within this year, all the expenses of Yongan must be borne by Yongan himself, I roughly estimated that within this year, Yongan will need at least 20 million taels of silver." β
"Twenty million taels?!"
Rao is Xiao Chen, a perennial spendthrift, frowned when he heard this number.
Not to mention a small Yong'an, even the former Wei State, 20 million taels is not a small number.
"If the prince can't solve it, I can only take the necessary measures." Ji Wushuang's voice came slowly.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, he didn't have to think about it to know that the necessary means in Ji Wu's hands were probably some kind of evil deeds that angered people and resented people.
Unwilling to let the matter of flooding Sanzhou and burning a city happen again, Xiao Chen shook his head lightly and said, "Sir, don't worry, let me solve this silver matter." β
Ji Wushuang smiled, as if he was not surprised by this result, and then fell back on the table as if nothing had happened.
Walking out of the hall and looking up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, Xiao Chen's mood was extremely heavy.
"Two months, 20 million taels of silver......" Xiao Chen muttered in a deep voice, this huge pressure was as heavy as a mountain on Xiao Chen's shoulders.
Just as Xiao Chen was pondering how to solve this huge deficit, Wu Liang suddenly trotted all the way to Xiao Chen's side.
"Lord Wang, there is a letter from the prince of Kyoto, Cao Chi's army is defeated, his whereabouts are unknown, and Bai Qi has led a large army into Kyoto."
Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly lit up: "What did you say?" β
Wu Liang said with a suspicious face: "Cao Chi was defeated, and Bai Qi led the army into Kyoto. β
"No, the last sentence!"
I don't know which one Xiao Chen came from, Wu Liang said tentatively: "A letter from Shi Caigong......
"That's right!" Xiao Chen slapped Wu Liang on the shoulder fiercely, and said with a happy face: "Why didn't I think of him!" β
Twenty million taels of silver may be a huge amount of money for him Xiao Chen, but for Shi Cai or the Shi family, it is completely a drop in the bucket. With Shi Cai, his most urgent problem at the moment will be solved in an instant.
Wu Liang scratched his head in confusion and said, "Lord Wang, what's wrong with Shi Caigong?" β
Xiao Chen smiled mysteriously, patted Wu Liang's chubby cheek lightly and said, "You have made a great contribution now." β
turned around in a dashing manner, leaving only a faint voice for Wu Liang: "Later, I will repair a book for Shi Cai, and you must send it to Kyoto urgently." β
Looking at Xiao Chen's back with a blank face, and then at Ji Wushuang who was immersed in the intelligence in the main hall, Wu Liang muttered: "What's wrong with the prince today?" β
β¦β¦
Almost on the same day, Ling Hu Chu received a reply from Yong'an, which said countless words of flattery and humility, but it probably meant the same thing.
Xiao Chen will send troops to help Linghu Chu.
This made Linghu Chu, who was still a little anxious, overjoyed, and deliberately summoned Dou Zhan Hou Jisheng to share the news.
In the main hall, Linghu Chu smiled and handed the letter to the tall Ji Shengdao: "Brother Ji Sheng, we don't have any worries this time, Xiao Chen promised to send troops to help us." β
Ji Sheng took the letter and read it up and down carefully: "But don't I remember, that Xiao Chen and the prince have some festivals, how could he agree so simply?" β
Ling Hu Chu chuckled lightly, and said proudly: "Don't forget, brother, he Xiao Chen and my little daughter still carry an in-law agreement on their backs......"
