Taoyuan Mountain Village

"Zhao Lide, calling you here today is not just about your son. I'm just curious. How many years have you been trading privately with the barbarians, and what level of officials have you dealt with? Over the years..." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Lide Already in a coma.

Jiang Xiaoye rolled his eyes and gestured to Xia Rongsheng.

Xia Rongsheng was startled and quickly said, "Brother-in-law, he is the Minister of Finance, and my father is afraid of him!"

"But I'm not afraid of him, water!"

"That's right, brother-in-law!"

Xia Rongsheng was right when he heard it, and immediately went to get the kettle. He was now thinking about whether to ask his father to brag when he went back. Finance Minister Zhao Lide was woken up by him.

Jiang Xiaoye picked up a copy of the front-line supplies, looked at Zhao Lide who was awake, and said, "Awake?"

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Zhao Lide's face was full of fear. He knew that he might die, and even his whole family was in danger. After all, he was greedy in it.

"Forgive me?"

Jiang Xiaoye looked at Zhao Lide and said, "I knew you had a problem at the beginning, but there is no one in the court who is not greedy, and it is not normal to be greedy in this era, but I didn't expect you, the Minister of Finance, who is in charge of the world's money, to be so greedy. You are so greedy, what's the point of making so much money? Have you spent it all?

Or, if you plan to be buried with you after you die, you have to be careful when you spend so much money. It’s not as good as your son. Buying an oiran and throwing 400,000 taels of silver directly, I thought that a thousand taels of silver-wrapped Kao boat was already a luxury. Now, who knows, what is this thousand tael? "

Maybe the planet is different. There are no officials here who are not greedy for money. Maybe it’s the norm. Almost all business is taken over by these dignitaries. There were too many problems at the beginning. When I checked it, I didn't expect that not only the wealth of the prince was amazing, but the finance minister's family was comparable to the national treasury.

"After a long time, the treasury is the poorest."

Jiang Xiaoye threw the booklet in front of Zhao Lide and said, "Look, the armor above, cotton coat, and even weapons are all standard for a height of over two meters. I want to know how many border warriors are over two meters tall. ?"

Those who are more than two meters tall are definitely little giants. Even here, the normal height is only about 1.8 meters. There are very few people who are more than 1.9 meters tall. , needless to say, barbarian! "Chen, I'm guilty!"

Knowing that he could not escape, Zhao Lide lowered his head and did not lift his head, but he was trembling all the time.

"I just took a look. The equipment of the barbarians is not smuggled. The ones here alone have exceeded 3.2 million sets. How many barbarians are there?

How big is our army?

In addition to other smuggled products, plus their own production, Zhao Lide, you said, if five million soldiers from among the barbarians are pushed horizontally, can the border be blocked?

Can Wangcheng stop it?

Or, can the current imperial city be able to stop it? "

Jiang Xiaoye felt that these people were crazy and dared to do anything for money.

"Your Majesty, they don't dare, we have Shangxian forces behind us, and they don't dare to come even if there are many warriors, and, and this, this is allowed by the old Xia Huang, we are just following orders, because we need the wild. If there are not enough ore, we will not be able to get shelter. As long as we have the protection of Shangxian, the Daxia Dynasty can rest easy. Your Majesty, even if there are five million barbarian warriors invading, we have the ability to block them back. "

Zhao Lide explained tremblingly, he guessed that Jiang Xiaoye didn't know how much he had embezzled, and that the deal between his own forces and the barbarians was the biggest one.

"What's the ability to stop it?"

Jiang Xiaoye got up and said, "Zhao Lide, how long has it been since the Great Xia Dynasty has trained troops?

Why are there more and more horse bandits, bandits and mountain bandits over the years, and they have even surpassed the armed forces of various places?

Although most of them are rabble, why has it been unable to solve it?

Is it just a matter of distance?

At this time, he was trying to exonerate himself. "

If the army is strong and there are no problems everywhere, how can there be so many bandits, and the entire Daxia Dynasty will not be as fragmented as before.

Zhao Lide was speechless.

"father."

Zhao Bingze looked at his father in fear.

Zhao Lide did not look back. He is now in danger of protecting himself. He wanted to unite with his own forces to fight, but this idea disappeared in a flash. Even if the wealth of all the nobles is cut off, everyone knows how strong Xia Huang is. At this time, No one has the power to change.

He looked at Eunuch Hai with a hint of prayer in his eyes.

Eunuch Hai quickly turned his eyes away and scolded Zhao Lide as a bastard. Although he usually received a little benefit, he absolutely didn't know about these big things.

"Meng Tianlong, the No. 1 businessman in the world, has a good relationship with you."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, yes, it has something to do with it..." Zhao Lide knew that he couldn't hide it, so let's just pull everyone into the water. Meng Tianlong is a high-ranking businessman. All the generals were under his command, and he was promoted.

If he said a word, he could make the frontier soldiers defect.

If this is the reason why he can become the number one businessman in the world, no one dares to offend Meng Tianlong, his status cannot be shaken anywhere.

It's just the appearance of the New Xia Emperor, which caught everyone off guard, especially the identity of the New Xia Emperor. If it was normal, if he dared to cut off Meng Tianlong's business like this, he would have been forced into the palace by a group of ministers and princes.

"Where are the people?"

Jiang Xiaoye glanced at Zhao Lide.

"Barbaric, barbaric."

As soon as Zhao Lide gritted his teeth, he still said it.

"Running to the wild to do business?"

Jiang Xiaoye smiled, this is really a powerful businessman, he has done everything he wanted to do.

"He, he has such a high position in the wild, and now there are many of his shops in the wild city, and in those important cities, there are shadows of Meng Tianlong's shops, Meng, Meng Tianlong is about to marry the daughter of the barbarian king as his wife , a lot of people know about it.”

"awesome!"

Jiang Xiaoye was amazed, talent, this person is probably not from crossing the border, controlling military power and doing business with barbarians, he just got to this point.

"His Majesty!"

Zhao Lide hesitated for a while and suddenly whispered: "I have a top secret."

Jiang Xiaoye looked at him and looked around, knowing that it was probably related to Meng Tianlong, and waved the maids and others around to leave.

Liang Laiyi and the others also left consciously.
