This time, Jiang Xingchen lost so much, if he couldn't get something back, Jiang Xingchen felt that he couldn't explain to himself.

Qianjiang Xingchen has a large mine in the desert, and the amount of compensation in the depths of the desert is 15 million yuan. What he needs now is not money, but resources!

After the old man left, Jiang Xingchen pondered for a long time, picked up a pen and paper, wrote a letter, and sent it to Emperor Qiankun......

In the imperial capital of Qiankun, the carnival after the victory finally came to an end, and the emperor now has a headache again, and the two groups of people at the court meeting almost quarreled with each other.

A group of people led by the centrists believed that now was the best time to conquer the eight kingdoms in one fell swoop, and even if they couldn't, they could occupy large areas of land.

And the marshal, the old marquis, they didn't agree to do this. The empire also suffered heavy losses in this battle, and the eight major armies now have less than 600,000 people left! Although the eight kingdoms were defeated, their total population exceeded 500 million, more than double that of the empire. Moreover, after two years of disasters in the empire, and after this great turmoil, it is necessary to recuperate, and let the other party pay compensation for each and the land is the right way.

Those who fought in the main battle didn't care about these at all, and the court scolded them, saying that the marshal and the military department were soft eggs. No wonder it was beaten so badly in the early stage of this war, no wonder the empire has not made an inch of progress for so many years!

The military attache of the military department has a few good tempers, and he scolded the other party on the spot, why didn't you see you come out to share the emperor's worries when you were so capable of fighting, and now that you have won the battle, you have come out, what a god!

The louder the two sides became, the more excited they became, and in the end they almost got into a fight.

From the Emperor himself. Of course, he also hopes to break the ground and conquer the eight kingdoms in one fell swoop. But he knew. Marshal, they're right!

If you really want to attack the eight kingdoms, not to mention the resistance encountered. Where did Yuanshi come from? More than one million yuan was spent in half a month, all of which were paid by Jiang Xingchen. If you still fight later, you can't let Jiang Xingchen pay for it! And who knows how much it will take!

In addition, even if the eight kingdoms are really defeated, with a population of 500 million, the total area is larger than the Qiankun Empire, how to manage it! Kill everyone, is it possible?

The last point is also the point that Emperor Qiankun is most worried about. It's Xuanyuan Heavenly Sect! Although the other party is cooperating with the empire now, this is based on interests, even if Jiang Xingchen doesn't say it, he knows it. The other party is also attacking the Eight Kingdoms now, and if they want to return resources and land for two years, they will be able to recover most of their strength...... If the Eight Kingdoms are really destroyed, there will be no buffer between the two sides in the future!

Now that the grenade technology has been leaked, it is certain that it will flow into the hands of Xuanyuan Tianzong! In the future, once the conflict starts, what advantage will the empire have! Two years of natural disasters, plus this war, how many resources does the empire have to fight with the other party!

So after thinking about it so much, it is impossible for the Qiankun Emperor to defeat the Eight Kingdoms no matter how much he wants to do it...... But now it is difficult to let him break and crumple the ministers below who are like chicken blood. It is the time when the blood is boiling, and whoever can listen to these will definitely be able to find a bunch of reasons to refute it.

The Emperor was having a headache when suddenly a black-clothed guard quietly walked out of the back door. Whispering a few words beside the Emperor, he handed him a letter.

The Emperor nodded, but did not speak. With a wave of his hand, the guard stepped back, opened the letter and looked at it twice. Immediately, his expression changed.

Although the people below were arguing, their attention was all on the Emperor. Everybody knows. Even if they quarrel with the heavens, it is the emperor who makes the decision in the end, and they can only try their best to convince.

At this moment, seeing that the emperor's expression changed greatly with the letter, their voices became quieter, and they gradually stopped arguing.

After a while, the emperor exhaled slowly, and secretly said in his heart: "This kid is really ruthless!

"Smack!" the emperor slapped the letter on the table and said lightly, "You guys are not noisy?"

"The Emperor forgives the sin!" the arguing officials and the officers of the military department bowed down at the same time to admit their mistakes.

"This letter is from Jiang Xingchen, and it says two plans for dealing with the Eight Kingdoms, you can also listen to it and see if it is advisable!" The Emperor's gaze swept over everyone.

Hearing the emperor's displeasure, no one dared to speak, and they all lowered their heads and pretended to be quails!

The Great Emperor retracted his gaze, smiled slightly and said, "The first plan provided by Jiang Xingchen is to fight!"

Those ministers who were fighting in the main battle immediately smiled, and when they saw it, even Jiang Xingchen said that they wanted to fight! As long as the eight kingdoms were defeated, the major families would be beneficial!

However, they didn't have time to say a word of compliment to the Emperor. Seeing the emperor smile, he continued: "But ......."

One sentence just hung everyone's hearts at that time.

The Emperor said: "But Jiang Xingchen said that he doesn't have any Yuan Stones at hand! The major families, nobles, and lords of the territory have all taken out the Yuan Stones in their homes to support this attack of the Empire!"

The marshal and the old marquis snorted and hurriedly covered their mouths with their hands! Jiang Xingchen, this kid is too bad, it is more difficult to let these nobles take the Yuan Stone out than to kill them!

Sure enough, those ministers who were shouting and beating just now were silent, and beads of sweat oozed from their brains! Once personal interests were involved, all their excitement and excitement were gone! In the previous war, the empire had run out of ammunition and food, and they didn't say anything about taking the initiative to take half a yuan stone outside, and let them take out money like Jiang Xingchen, which was really more uncomfortable than killing them.

"Everyone, tell me!" the Emperor asked, narrowing his eyes and smiling.

"Emperor, Jiang Xingchen said this, I think this plan is feasible!" the marshal spoke first.

The old marquis nodded on the side and said, "Emperor, I think so too! Although my family is not particularly wealthy, it is still no problem to take out 100,000 yuan of stone!"

A group of centrist people almost didn't vomit blood when they heard this, and scolded in their hearts: "Two old immortals, why the hell are you doing it on purpose! Pay back 100,000 yuan of stone, if you old thing can take out 100,000 yuan of stone, I will call you grandpa!"

Gritting his teeth, an old man stood up and said loudly: "Emperor! After careful consideration, we think it's better not to fight!"

"Why? Didn't you say you were going to fight just now?" the Emperor asked lightly.

"Great Emperor! Your Majesty thought about it too simply just now, and after thinking about it carefully, I realized that the marshal was right! We counterattacked, and we used up more than one million yuan of stone in half a month! If we want to defeat all the eight kingdoms, it will not take three or five months, even if all the lords and nobles take money outside, how much can we make up!"

"Yes, the Emperor!" A middle-aged man also stepped out: "Our empire has just suffered a natural disaster**, and it is time to use money. If we all participate in this war, it will only make our national strength more consumed, and the people will live more poorly!"

The Emperor smiled and nodded: "Since this is the case, this plan will not be adopted!"

The ministers breathed a long sigh of relief when they heard this, bowed down and said in unison: "The emperor is wise! Let's talk about the second plan proposed by Jiang Xingchen!"

In fact, many of them doubted that the emperor deliberately squeezed them like this, but no matter what, it was better than letting themselves pay for the war.

The marshal and the old marquis looked at each other and smiled.

The Great Emperor cleared his throat a little and continued: "Since the first plan doesn't work, let's listen to Jiang Xingchen's second plan...... First, the major kingdoms will compensate the Qiankun Empire with 100 million yuanshi!"

"Hiss~" The hall was filled with the sound of gasping air. 100 million stones, this is to bring the Yuan Stone Mines in the Eight Kingdoms to the rhythm, they can't afford to pay for their death!

Not to mention the minister, even the emperor felt that his back molars were numb when he first saw it. If you want to pay compensation like this, the eight kingdoms must not fight hard.

"Emperor, this is absolutely impossible, the Eight Kingdoms can't afford to pay at all, so asking for compensation will force them to hurry!" said a minister.

The Great Emperor waved his hand and continued: "This is just the terms we proposed, can the eight kingdoms talk about it if they don't agree....... but Jiang Xingchen will talk about it separately!"

"Huh?" The ministers didn't react for a while, they talked separately, how to talk separately, didn't they want the major kingdoms to pay 100 million in compensation.

After a moment, the old marquis suddenly said, "Jiang Xingchen is thinking about it...... Differentiation!"

The Great Emperor said: "Some kingdoms have caused us great losses, and some kingdoms have brought small losses, so we can't treat them equally!"

At this time, there was a sound of swallowing saliva from below, and I felt that my throat and eyes were dry! Jiang Xingchen was really ruthless, why did he want a compensation of 100 million yuan, this was to break up the Eight-Nation Alliance!

With the pressure of 100 million yuan, everyone wants to pay less! Then who still has the heart to join hands and work hard! If someone dissociates themselves and says that it was who started the attack on the Qiankun Empire first, they will turn their faces because of this, and once the Eight-Nation Alliance is dissolved, there will never be a threat to the Qiankun Empire!

"Gao Ming, it's really Gao Ming!" The marshal and the old marquis also nodded again and again, they were just thinking about the land and compensation before, and they didn't think of dividing the Eight-Nation Alliance at all!

The Great Emperor glanced around and continued: "If they feel that they can't afford to lose so many stones, they can also replace them with iron ore, salt ore, alkali ore, or other minerals!"

Everyone was stunned again, and replaced it with other mines, what does this mean? There are a lot of iron ore empires!

The emperor did not explain to the ministers, because Jiang Xingchen bluntly told him that these minerals were what he wanted.

If any lord wanted a large amount of iron ore, the Emperor would be suspicious. But not for Jiang Xingchen, he has such powerful weapons and technology in his hands, so much money, no one can stop him from rebelling.

When the ministers were puzzled, the Emperor said: "Second, the Eight Alliances will prohibit the production of grenades as lethal weapons in the future! Third, in the future, imperial goods can enter the Eight Kingdoms at will......

Just when the emperor and the ministers were studying the proposed terms one by one, another shocking news came from the star leader! (To be continued......
