"That's right, our two families are willing to exchange the net worth of the two clans, fifteen million taels and three hundred thousand stones of new rice, nine hundred thousand stones of old rice for a promise to Your Majesty!"

Liu Huang's two family heads spoke in a firm tone and spoke without hesitation.

Hearing about two unimaginably large numbers, Xu Jing had to gasp.

Fifteen million taels is already half of the annual tax revenue of Daqian, which is an incomparably huge number!

It should be known that even Xiao Daoling, the prime minister of the Great Cadre Residence, is only 240,000 taels of silver a year.

Ordinary people, the money earned from hard work in January is only a mere three taels!

And 1,200,000 stones were converted into silver coins, which was only 1,200,000 taels, far less than cash silver.

But these grains are the most urgent things Xu Jing needs at the moment, and they can solve his urgent needs.

Faced with such a huge number, Xu Jing had to think about it a little.

After all, such a huge amount of wealth is very urgently needed for Xu Jing at the moment.

If you can get this huge amount of money in your hands, not to mention disaster relief, even the huge gap in military salaries can be made up a lot.

"Tell me about it, I can think about it."

Xu Jing thought about it again and again and gave an ambiguous answer.

"I have nothing else to ask for, but to ask Your Majesty to allow the two of us to participate in the mutual market."

As soon as Liu Huang and the others spoke, Lin Hai was very anxious in his heart.

The relationship between the Liu and Huang families and the Lin family is not shallow, so they naturally know what the two families think.

However, there is no doubt that there is a suspicion of taking advantage of the situation to blackmail the king.

If Xu Jing is annoyed by this, the Liu and Huang families will also be unable to escape the annihilation!

Sure enough, Xu Jing's face changed slightly when he heard the request of the two, and his tone was a little lower: "Do you two know that the mutual market has always been controlled by the government and not allowed by the people?" ”

The so-called mutual market is the trade between countries, and the goods traded between the two are often valuable and involve national capital.

For example, the Xiongnu galloping on the grassland often exchanged things with Daqian, which was war horses and salt.

Both of these are the foundation of the country!

The request made by the two had crossed the taboo, which made Xu Jing very annoyed.

"Your Majesty is angry! We grass people don't want to intervene in the operation of the big cadres, everything we think is Your Majesty! ”

Liu Huang and the others saw that Xu Jing was faintly angry, and hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Let's take a look. ”

Xu Jing sneered, staring at the two of them waiting for an answer.

He wanted to see what good words could come out of the mouths of these two businessmen who didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

"As far as the grass people know, Daqian and the Xiongnu and other places have never taken advantage of each other. Daqian exchanged salt and iron with the Huns, and the war horses were often too difficult to be stallions, that is, they had hidden diseases in the army, but they died violently for no reason in three or five years. ”

"Our two ancestors were born in horse taming, and they have some understanding of war horses, if we can take over this matter, we will definitely make the border army have more than half of the war horses within three years, and we can train cavalry that can fight with the Huns in the grassland within ten years!"

The two are bold and ambitious, and their spirits are flying.

"Besides, now the treasury of Daqian is empty, probably above the court, and the hearts of all officials are not to His Highness. If we can intervene in this matter, it will be like Your Majesty's private treasury, and if Your Majesty encounters the emptiness of the treasury again in the future, we will wait for two silver coins to be equal to Your Majesty's silver coins! ”

The two of them knew that if they couldn't come up with a satisfactory answer to Xu Jing today, they would definitely implicate the family and destroy it.

The two of them with one heart, where can they still take care of the matter of talking about the court, and they all tell it all.

"As far as I know, the Liu and Huang families have been passed down for seven generations to this day, and it stands to reason that Li'er and others can prosper without needing this. Why do you have to rely so much on the imperial court? ”

Xu Jing's promise to the two is indeed extremely excited.

Daqian has always been inferior to the Huns who have no fixed place to fight, and often fights with difficulty and misery at the cost of a large number of infantry deaths.

If there is an extra cavalry that is enough to compete with the Huns, it will not take five years to bring the entire grassland into the territory of Daqian!

And at present, the hearts of hundreds of officials above the court are even more clear to the Xiao family, and it would be beneficial if there were two more private private banks in that big snow dragon horse hidden in the shadows.

Perhaps, the forces in the shadows will be able to grow again.

It's just that Xu Jing can't figure out why these two families are paying so much.

"The imperial power is the top, the ministers are the bottom, and the people of Li are second. If we grass people can last for seven generations, we naturally have to rely on the saints. Now Your Majesty, you are only a young man, and you have been in charge of the imperial power for a hundred years, and it is an honor for us to be attached to you! ”

The two saw that there was a play, and sycophants came one after another.

Xu Jing frowned slightly and pondered for a moment: "This matter will be discussed later, and you will list the detailed plan and submit it to Lin Shangshu within three days, and I will give you an answer after I look at it." ”

When the two heard the reply, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded again and again.

"Cut it, let's all step down."

Xu Jing waved his hand and motioned for them to leave.

"Minister, the grass people retreat."

Lin Hai and Liu Huang, the two heads of the family, bowed and withdrew from the hall.

"The two of you are too reckless, if you take a wrong step, the Liu and Huang families will no longer exist!"

Out of the palace, Lin Hai still felt thrilling, and counted the two of them.

"Lord Lin, the arrow is ready to be delayed. Jin Yiwei has many ears and eyes, God knows if the incident of me and other smugglers has already been recorded? Rather than waiting for His Majesty to provoke it, it is better for us to take the initiative to speak. ”

"You can hand over all the savings of the seven generations, are the two really willing?"

Thinking of the astronomical numbers, Lin Hai was still extremely distressed.

That kind of family property is really appalling.

"Distressed? As long as they can catch the line of the court and sell horses in the name of righteousness, the wealth of the Liu and Huang families will be even greater than the past seven generations in less than ten years! ”

Liu Huang and the two heads of the family couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and said with a flushed face.

As far as they know for many years of trading, an ordinary horse is only ten taels of silver, but a military horse is far above ten or even a hundred times it!

The gap between ordinary horses and military horses is actually not large, and it is not a simple matter to collect a large number of war horses with their ancestral ability.

As far as they are concerned, as long as the deal is completed, they will not lose anything.

"The Liu and Huang families are really good."

In the face of such crazy behavior of the two families, Lin Hai could only sigh from the bottom of his heart.

And Xu Jing's killing of hundreds of people from two of the world's four major grain merchants, as well as the unknown heir of the Xiao family, was still difficult to calm down in the middle of the night.

It's a horrific effort.

But what kept the lights of the Prime Minister's Mansion on all night was the death of the unknown heir of the Xiao family!

Because, the one who was executed by Xu Jing was not Xiao Daoling's distant nephew, but his illegitimate son hiding in the shadows!

His favorite son for many years!

"Sir, the student is late. By the time they arrived at the edict, they were already ......."

Hong Zhiyan, who is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, hesitated and did not dare to say more, lest he touch the prime minister who was already angry.

At this moment, Xiao Daoling's expression was cold, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

This time, Xu Jing's behavior completely angered Xiao Daoling.

"Call all the people above the second grade!"

Xiao Daoling's words were filled with murderous aura, gritting his teeth and spitting out word by word.
