In the ancestral hall of the Yuan family, the words of the Yuan family gathered together.

Yuan Tianming was carried in, holding a white silk in his hand and coughing up blood.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Tianming waved his hand: "I know that you are here to impeach me, but you don't have to, I have long been suffering from tuberculosis, and I came here today to tell you uncles and brothers that I, Yuan Tianming, can not be the head of this family, or die!" ”

"But the Yuan family's centuries-old foundation must not be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

"The Yuan family shipbuilding industry has undertaken more than seventy percent of the Yuan family's industry, and once the shipping business is damaged, the Yuan family will fall into the top five within ten years."

"Everyone, this is the time to work together, I hope you don't ignore the future of the family for short-term interests, I, Yuan Tianming, are only for the Yuan family in this life, if you don't believe it, you will kill me with one knife now!"

After hearing this, the elders were immediately ashamed.

"The head of the family laughed, I gathered here to find a way to cure this Qin Yun. He Qin Yun dared to be the first year of junior high school, why can't we do fifteen. ”

"Doesn't he want to collect taxes? Then we will launch the surrounding mountain bandits to rob the tax trucks and see who can consume whom! ”

"Yes, we will still pay the tax, but whether it can be put into the warehouse, or whether it can be kept if it is put into the warehouse, is not something that my Yuan family should consider."

"Tongzhou Liu Yu has been raised for so long, it's time to contribute to my Yuan family!"

Yuan Tianming nodded: "Okay, that's how this matter will be done." In addition, inform the Seventh Prince as soon as possible, if my Yuan family arrives, he will not feel well. ”

"Shaoqing, from now on, you will take me to exercise the rights of the head of the family, in an extraordinary period, if anyone dares to do something against the interests of the family, he will be beaten to death with a stick and the family tree will be moved!"

"Yes, Master."

……

East of Yuzhou, Chaozhou.

On the Seventh Prince's Qinshan Mansion, a fast horse entered directly through the back door.

At this time, the Seventh Prince had just returned from the capital, and he was summoning a banquet for Meiji's subordinates.

"Your Highness, a letter from Tongzhou!"

Qin Shan raised his eyebrows, holding the orchid of the Western Regions in one hand and playing with the Dongyi widow in the other, and said in an extremely impatient tone.

"Read!"

"The Yuan family in Tongzhou is willing to fully support His Highness, but now that all the ships in Tongzhou have been destroyed by Qin Yun, Tongzhou wants to ask His Highness to borrow twenty big ships, and also invite His Highness to enter Tongzhou."

Qin Shan snorted lightly: "My ninth brother, he never blinks when he fights and kills, but the Yuan family is calculating, telling him that the boat can be borrowed, and this king has just come back from the battle and will not move." ”

"Your Highness, the Yuan family also said that they will sell the water transportation business of Tongzhou and Yuzhou, and there will be another two million taels of silver to offer, just ask Your Highness to move."

Qin Shan's eyes lit up when he heard this, his sixth brother Qin Ming said that he couldn't fight Qin Yun head-on, but he didn't say that he couldn't make a stumbling block for him.

Of course, he has never liked this kind of thing.

"Come on, go and invite my sixth brother and eight brothers!"

"No!"

A day later, the sixth prince Qin Ming and the eighth prince Qin Jin gathered in the Chaozhou Palace.

"Sixth brother, eighth brother, do you say this is a favor or not?"

Qin Ming licked his stomach with a faint smile on his face.

"What do you think, Eighth Brother?"

Qin Jin groaned: "Qin Yun's move is obviously to force the Yuan family to rebel, so that the southwest army can be called to suppress it, so that the army can return to his hands." ”

"Sixth brother, now that Qin Tian has been beheaded, Qin Hao and Qin Chen are far away in the capital, the most threatening to us is nothing more than Qin Yun, if he lets his more than 100,000 troops come to Tongzhou, I'm afraid that I won't have a good time waiting for in the future."

Qin Ming said: "I have a plan, I can make Qin Yun throw a mouse bogey!" ”

"Sixth brother, say it quickly!" Qin Shan came to be interested.

Qin Ming: "I can ask the imperial court to let Ji Qing take people out of Longyou to subdue the Duhu Mansion, and as for the money and silver, let the Yuan family come out!" ”

"Will the Yuan family agree? More than 100,000 troops were dispatched, not to mention tens of millions of taels of silver, and the Yuan family was probably not willing to bleed. Qin Jin frowned.

Qin Ming said with a smile: "The Yuan family is a smart person, so they should understand that the father and emperor have already set their sights on this piece of fat, and if the Yuan family doesn't cut the meat, then waiting for them will be extermination." ”

"Instead of waiting for Qin Yun to do it, it is better to take the initiative to break up Qin Yun's army, so that in Tongzhou, Qin Yun can't do whatever he wants."

Qin Shan paused: "After all, my mother concubine is from the Yuan family!" ”

Qin Ming interrupted him: "Seventh brother, you have to remember that your surname is Qin!" ”

"This is the bottom line, Qin Tian just forgot this bottom line, so he will fall into such a fate, why do you want to be like him?"

The Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince looked at each other.

"What the sixth brother said is very true, the three brothers and I will work together, and the sixth brother will be in charge sooner or later in this Great Xia!"

Qin Jin complimented.

Qin Shan nodded: "Just do what the sixth brother says!" ”

……

Go to the capital, the court.

Emperor Xia slowly put down the fold in his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think about the matter of the Western Regions Protectorate?" ”

A minister stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Western Regions Protectorate is a barrier derived from my Great Xia to the west, and now it has fallen into the hands of the ambitious people of the wolf, resulting in the severance of the connection between my Great Xia and the countries of the Western Regions. ”

"In the long run, Great Xia will not be able to obtain high-quality horses in the Western Regions, and the combat effectiveness of the Great Xia cavalry will plummet, and the minister thinks that he should send a capable general to sweep the Western Regions Protectorate."

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

Emperor Xia: "Shen Wansan, how much war reserve silver is still in the treasury?" ”

Shen Wansan paused: "Back to Your Majesty, there is no silver in the treasury!" ”

At this time, an official of the Yuan family in the court spoke.

"Your Majesty, my Yuan family has always had business in the Western Regions, but this time the Iron Wolf King rebelled, so that the business of my Yuan family's caravan in the Western Regions was completely lost."

"For the sake of Great Xia, and for the smooth flow of the Tongzhou and Yuzhou trade routes, the Yuan family and the major families in Tongzhou are willing to invest 10 million taels to help the imperial court recapture the Western Regions Protectorate!"

Emperor Xia smiled: "Look, this is my good people, this is the Great Xia Yingjie." ”

"Order, all those who contribute to the labor army will be given a silk book of meritorious service in Daxia, which will be recorded in the county annals of all parties for future generations to see, and in addition, you can recommend the handsome men in the family to go out with the army, so as to promote the prestige of Daxia!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

……

In the Tongzhou Palace, Qin Yun looked at the urgent letter of eight hundred miles, but his brows were furrowed.

One letter came from Shen Wansan, and the imperial court decided to draw and form a counterinsurgency army in the Western Regions, led by Ji Qing, and the army reorganized by Qin Yun before returned to its previous formation.

The major generals were directly dispatched by the military department, and the previous generals were promoted and surrendered one by one, or shelved in the cabinet, or transferred to the north and east.

Even Lantian was named a general and was directly transferred to the north.

Qin Yun knew that this was the emperor's backhand, and he was worried that he would rebel!

said a thousand things and ten thousand, but I didn't press it at the beginning, and now it's too late to say anything.

And Qin Yun also understood that Emperor Xia's purpose was just to want the Yuan family to bleed, and now the Yuan family had paid 10 million taels, which was much more than the annual tax collected by the so-called Juntian tax system.

Maybe in the end, in order to appease the Yuan family, he will inevitably be reprimanded.

High, it's really smart! I don't know who came up with such a plan.

At this time, Wang Muzhi bowed in.

"Lord Wang, the small and medium-sized families who signed the land lease contract with us before have come to us to ask for the termination of the contract."

"Also, the Yuan family is unusual, and they have paid all the land taxes, but when the tax officials from all over the country came back from the countryside, they were all looted by bandits, what do you think should be done?"

Qin Yun chuckled: "The show has just begun, the Yuan family wants to play, and this king will accompany him to the end!" ”
