494, grain and grass

Song Shaoqin looked sincerely frightened on his face, but his heart was calm and calm.

Anyway, no matter how Chu Shenghuai coerced and lured, his attitude was very firm, and there would not be a trace of hesitation and fluctuation.

If there is no Xia Ning, their Song family may take a risk in order to clear their name.

Although they may encounter the same bad fate in the future, they can immediately retreat bravely after clearing their charges, and withdraw from their high positions in time, even if their Song family is just a civilian, but they are also upright and innocent.

Unfortunately, there are no ifs in this world!

But if there is such a hypothesis, in fact, the follow-up hypothesis does not exist at all, if they don't meet Ningling, then their Song family will not live in peace until this moment.

I'm afraid he would have died of illness on the way to exile, and the daughters of the family would probably die of hardships, not to mention that he sent people to rescue his eldest brother, and even rescued his father and uncle.

It can be said that if there was really no Xia Ning, their family would have been ruined a long time ago, let alone wait for King An to visit.

"Okay, you Song Shaoqin! Is this the attitude of your Song family? King An pointed at Song Shaoqin angrily again, so angry that his fingertips trembled, and he couldn't wait to poke his finger on the other party's head.

“.” Song Shaoqin was silent, they did make a lot of small moves, but on the surface, they all came according to the rules and did not violate the law.

In addition to restricting their freedom and not leaving the land of the Southern Barbarians, there is no clear rule that they cannot build houses and farm land, or set up stalls and start small businesses.

As long as they don't cross the line on the surface, then no one can pick on their thorns, and as for those things they do in private, they can hide them for as long as they want.

Anyway, we have to pass the stage in front of us.

King An directly tore his face and asked, "So, your Song family is planning to be my enemy?" ”

"King An is thinking a lot, the criminals have already made their position clear, we are just a group of exiled criminals, even ordinary people can't compare, we are really strong and the rest is insufficient, none of us stand, it is not the intention of being an enemy of King An."

Song Shaoqin said slowly, his attitude was very gentle and polite, but he also knew that it was easy to welcome the gods and difficult to send the gods, and King An in front of him was an ambitious person, in order to sit in that position, he was afraid that he would not easily let go of their Song family, a good chess piece.

If you don't give him a little sweetness, I'm afraid that their lives will not be peaceful in the future, as the old saying goes, little ghosts are difficult, but this one in front of him is several times more difficult than a little ghost.

Taking 10,000 steps back, if King An can really ascend to the throne smoothly, wouldn't it be necessary to settle accounts after the autumn?

In the matter of facing King Shang'an, their Song family really would not be with him, but they did not intend to offend and anger him, let alone want to tear their faces with him and become an enemy.

Therefore, their attitude is that they will neither join nor be enemies, and it is better to control them on a friendly parallel line, and this scale must be well measured.

However, before waiting for King An to enter the house, Song Shaoqin already had a countermeasure in his heart, so he felt that the foreshadowing was almost over, and his words suddenly changed.

"Although we can't personally go into battle to kill the enemy and help the people get out of suffering, our Song family also wants to do our best, after all, we are also from Eastern Chu, and we should do our best."

Sure enough, Chu Shenghuai, who was angry, heard these words, and the anger in his heart instantly choked, "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

He had long understood the character of the Song family, and if it was something they didn't want to do, they would put a knife on their necks, and they wouldn't give in.

Originally, he was confident that they would follow him willingly, but he knew that things would exceed his expectations, but now that he heard the meaning of Song Shaoqin's words, it seemed that there was a more compromising way, which finally reduced the anger in his heart.

He is also the king of An who was personally crowned by the first emperor, but a dignified prince came to the door to recruit talents but was repeatedly rejected, what kind of face does this give him?

He also wants to save face, okay?

Fortunately, now that Song Shaoqin has a way to alleviate it, he can also take advantage of the situation and step down.

Song Shaoqin said slowly, "I don't know if An Wang is willing to cooperate with us in Baiyun Village for a business?" ”

"Cooperative business?"

Hearing this, Chu Shenghuai couldn't help but sneer, and then said disapprovingly.

"Do you think I'm a prince who needs to do business with someone? I'm a fief with a whole state city, so I don't have any business? As soon as I shouted, there were countless people lined up to deliver to the door. ”

As a prince, Chu Shenghuai really has no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry, no matter how chaotic the world is, it will not affect his life of fine clothes and food.

Song Shaoqin said bluntly, "I want to ask King Xia'an, have you carefully calculated, if you want to complete your grand cause, how much grain and grass will be consumed?" ”

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that my entire fiefdom is not enough? ”

Hearing this, Chu Shenghuai frowned and looked puzzled, although he didn't know what the other party meant by asking, but he really didn't pay attention to this question.

To be honest, he is a prince, so he needs to manage those trivial chores, and the people under him will arrange and tidy up, and in the end they only need to report the situation to him.

Secondly, what he has learned since he was a child is the strategy of some emperors, but there is no way for the Pope to lead troops to fight, but he has average qualifications in martial arts, otherwise he would still come here to find someone?

Song Shaoqin sighed secretly, "King An, do you know that several state cities are experiencing natural disasters and bandits now?" How many state capitals are still growing food normally and steadily? Last year, all kinds of disasters continued, so that the common people fled in all directions.

Have you ever wondered how much you will receive this year? Now that there is another war, can the people continue to farm? Last year, there were already several layers of food missing, and at the beginning of this year, the conscription began again, can the grain still be collected as desired in the current situation?

If the common people can't get food, then where will the food and grass come from for the subsequent marches and battles? Maybe you can use the silver to go to other state capitals to buy it, but can you be sure that there is enough food and grass to support it until the end of the battle?

To put it mildly, it is estimated that there will be a food crisis in Dongchu in the near future, in such an environment, I wonder how much confidence and financial resources King An has to win this battle? ”

“.” Hearing these words, Chu Shenghuai was directly shocked into a cold sweat, and his heart was flustered.

It was he who was careless!

He always felt that he had enough financial resources to support an army, so he didn't worry about military supplies at all.
