Khan Li Palace, this palace as the core of the empire, from the outside, there is no royal momentum at all, on both sides of the gray-white avenue, is a green meadow, the vast front hall of which is mostly occupied by wild grass,

There are all kinds of stones placed on the wide flat in front, and there is no one to see in silence, some places, because they have not moved for too long, have grown green spots, if you have to find a word to describe it, then there is only the word "embarrassing", most of the palaces are still only laying the foundation of Cheng dù, and the royal garden behind is the potholed ground,

The Khan Li Palace has been suspended for more than 6 months, and the last time the construction started was in October last year, and the design of this Khan Li Palace covers an area of 12,000 acres, with a front hall that can accommodate more than 1,000 people, a nave with 50 attics, and a huge royal garden that can make people get lost.

No matter from which point of view, this palace can be called the crystallization of human wisdom, exquisite and perfect, majestic and majestic, can fully represent the grandeur of a new empire, the original treatment of the palace construction time, Falcon Majesty Xià tentatively scheduled time is 30 years,

Some people say that the prediction of the Falcon Majesty is a little too conservative, although the scale of the Khan Li Palace is more than any previous palace, but with the economic power of the empire, if this palace is built with all its might, it will take ten years at most, but now, most people do not think that this prediction is too conservative, and many people can see that the Vechia Falcon, which is considered to be the richest in the mainland, is actually a "miser",

Although the empire's finances are abundant, it always spends all other expenses first, and then throws them at the Khan Li Palace, so that the main road of the city in front of the Khan Li Palace has been renovated twice, and the progress of the main road leading to the front hall of the Khan Li Palace is still difficult to break through three-quarters of the progress.

All sorts of rumors surround this magical palace. Some people say that at this rate, not to mention 30 years, even if it is completed in 50 years, it is a miracle, and some people say that Khan Li Palace represents the incomparably broad mind and ambition of Vekia Falcon, and the day Khan Li Palace is built is the day when Vekia Falcon is called the emperor,

The sun is shining outside the window, and the birds are chirping.

In the part of the front hall that has just been barely completed in the Khanli Palace, Mao Mona Qing picked up the water cup on the table with a somewhat pale face, her eyes were gentle and wise, and her beautiful figure after giving birth to a child was still a little blessed, but this did not damage her peerless appearance, but added a few more graces and luxuries that the girl lacked.

This woman from the snow-capped mountains of the west has spent four years in the ups and downs of the empire. With her unique wisdom and generosity, she is considered by the fat man to be his confidante, and she is also the main person in charge of internal affairs in the empire now, and she is recognized as the first sister in the harem.

But what she is facing is the princess Rui Tang Tingna, the princess of the Eastern Court, who has always been known for her pungent personality, is not just an empty title, but a 20,000 brave and good cavalry in the Eastern Court. She is a true queen with a population of more than 180,000 and a quarter of the total population of Dongting.

And in the winter of last year, Rui Tang Tingna took advantage of having a city to escape the wind and cold and open up inland trade, and her power grew rapidly in Dongting, and by the beginning of the spring of this year, the population had exceeded 250,000, according to the Kujit people's three-choice combat method, if necessary, 250,000 people, representing an army that could be requisitioned to 80,000, has truly become a third-party force equal to the eastern and western armies,

And this time, Rui Tang Tingna personally came to Rivading for only one purpose, to borrow grain,

In her report to the Ministry of the Interior, she said that because of the abandonment of most of the pastures in the north, coupled with the large consumption of winter grain, it is now June, livestock breed in large numbers, and the pastures are tight, in order to stabilize the hearts of the tribes to which she belongs, she specially asked the Ministry of the Interior to mobilize three million military rations for relief

It's just that no one expected that the stubborn Rui Tang Tingna directly killed Zhivading to ask for the guilt.

In a hurry, Mao Mona Qing thought of the Khan Li Palace, there is really no more suitable negotiation place than this, thinking of the Khan Li Palace, Mao Mo Naqing wants to laugh, the so-called heart has a little understanding, as a fat man's stomach roundworm, the most considerate ear wind, Mao Mo Naqing is very clear about the true meaning of the Khan Li Palace, to put it bluntly, the Khan Li Palace can never be completed, this is the face of the empire, its value lies in the procrastinating construction and broken appearance,

There is such a big unfinished building in front of him, it is estimated that no one will think that Vekia Falcon, who has the resources of the entire empire and married 7 wives in one go, is actually a guy who likes to be arrogant and lascivious, and the intermittent project of the Khan Li Palace just represents the ups and downs of the empire's economy, creating a great image of the falcon majesty willing to dedicate himself to the people and putting public before private

The Falcon Majesty's Khanli Palace is still so dilapidated, the imperial wealthy businessmen and military bigwigs will naturally not be particularly interested in expanding their mansions, and naturally form a simple atmosphere up and down, which invisibly condenses the hearts of the imperial people, reduces waste, and curbs the trend of comparison.

This kind of method of self-destruction at the expense of self-destruction is probably something that only the Falcon of Vekia can think of,

On the left hand side of Mao Mona Qing, sat the princess Haraudian of Rui Erdian, and on the right hand was an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire, and in the middle was a ten-meter-long long table, and opposite her, sat the cold look of the princess of the East Court Rui Tang Tingna, and the leaders of the eight northern East Court tribes,

In the empty hall that can accommodate a thousand people, there are less than 20 people sitting and chatting like this, which seems a little empty, and the maids in the hall are all sent out, and the oppressive atmosphere in the hall makes this huge space a kind of inner oppression "You have also seen the recent situation of the empire, the treasury has bottomed out for many days, just like the main palace in front of us, we owe the craftsmen more than 4 months, and it is really a shame to say it"

Mao Mon Naqing looked ashamed, put down the water cup in his hand, pushed over a stack of ledgers on the table, looked at Rui Tang Tingna opposite indifferently, and said slowly, "In this case, His Majesty also asked us to send more than 80,000 new immigrants to Normandy in just 2 months, which has already made Naqing anxious and at a loss, and she no longer has the energy and financial resources to collect these 3 million tons of military rations for Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" As for Borne's statement on the East Court, I'm sorry, it's not within my jurisdiction" Mao Mona Qing shrugged her shoulders and said, "The head of the border guards is Prais of the Ministry of Military Affairs, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can ask this Minister of War directly if you have any questions, but Prais seems to have some business in the field, and he should be back in half a month!"

"Half a month! It's too long, I can't wait!" Rui Tang Tingna frowned slightly, she didn't even look at the account book, she knew that since the other party dared to let her see it, she must have made all the preparations.

She came this time with the intention of winning, so she also brought the leaders of the eight largest tribes under her command, just to put pressure on the imperial side, but the situation in front of her was really unexpected,

Such a magnificent palace is unimaginable to Rui Tang Tingna, and such a dilapidated palace is also unimaginable to her, all the way south, from the edge of the grassland across the three northern counties, and then take the Paravon where the cavalry of the Eastern Court was raging, and finally along the most lush Zhivading trade route in the whole continent into the south of Vekia, what I saw and heard, although it was not like a brocade of flowers, caravans like a river, but it also made the people of Dongting in the bitter cold land open their eyes.

Knowing what it means to have an empire in full swing, a prosperous country, an army of hundreds of thousands, and a dead fat man with a peak of national strength, if you want to help yourself unify the Dongting Grassland again, it is simply a very simple thing,

But this guy took advantage of himself, suppressed himself openly and secretly, and even instigated the internal struggle in the East Court.

The prosperity of the inland even made Rui Tangtingna feel a little indignant, why are the people who are also the Khan kings, the same Kujites, Duo Weiyan of Xiting, who can repair Aichemore that has been abandoned for many years with more money, and those who have more food can hold a tribal horse racing festival in winter, while the people of Dongting are fighting in the cold wind and snow, fighting for a river of blood, and what they are fighting for is just a little bit of food for winter, "If the situation is really urgent on my sister's side, I have a way!"

Regarding Rui Tang Tingna's strength, Mao Mona smiled disapprovingly at the corner of her mouth, "June is the fattest season for war horses on the grassland, as far as I know, the Ministry of Military Affairs will purchase 20,000 war horses in the near future,

If Na Qing comes forward, I believe that the Ministry of Military Affairs will also sell some face, so it is better to buy it from my sister at a fixed point, although the amount is not large, but it can be directly priced at military rations, so that everyone can take what they need, wouldn't it be better!"

"This ......," Rui Tang Tingna hesitated

A clan leader next to him had already preemptively said, "Princess, exchanging war horses for military rations, this would not matter in the past, but now the Dongting Grassland is full of soldiers, and the lack of 20,000 high-grade war horses is tantamount to a reduction of 20,000 excellent warriors, if anything happens, it will be very passive for us!" "This is a bit difficult!"

Seeing that there were people among the leaders of the Dongting tribe who were unwilling, Mao Monaqing said with a look of embarrassment, "Now is the season when the autumn grain has not been harvested, and the old grain is not continuous, and the price of grain is also rising, and the merchants are also hoarding grain.

Even if the Ministry of the Interior temporarily collects food from all over the country, it will not be able to do it, so the only way is to mobilize the stocks from the Ministry of War, but that requires the consent of the Minister of War, Prais, so I really can't help it!"

Hearing Mao Monaqing's words, the black line in Rui Tangtingna's head was Prais again...... That's a guy who has a strong hostility to Dongting, if he is willing to mobilize 3 million tons of grain for himself, then it will be hell!

At this time, a majestic figure happened to walk in, glanced at Rui Tangtingna, who was a little pale, and asked, "What do you want so much grain for! If there is a valid reason, I can give it to you!" )
