Chapter 253 Cutting leeks

Author: Moon Earth Moon Earth

Capital.

Royal Palace.

Gu Xi looked at the invited heads of the aristocratic families and seemed to see a full of money bags. Her smile was very gentle, but she was not polite at all when she said it.

"Thank you all for a long journey. I don't like nonsense, so I went straight to the topic.

You are all wealthy families that have lasted for hundreds of years. The changes in the court sometimes cannot shake your foundation, but they will eventually be damaged.

This palace believes that if you can live in a peaceful and prosperous era, no one wants to survive in a chaotic era. Not only will you not be able to enjoy it, but you will also be worried every day that you will be robbed by refugees and even occupied by rebels for hundreds of years of ancestral foundation.

However, our country is now in a storm. The treasury has no food or money, refugees are everywhere, there is no food or food to plant. If these refugees are ignored, they will sooner or later become rebels.

In fact, more than a dozen counties including Dongyang County have been occupied by the rebel army.

Some landlords there were either powerful, robbed, killed, or resisted stubbornly, but they would soon be occupied by the rebels.

If the people cannot be curbed from becoming refugees, the scale of the rebel army will only grow larger and larger. If it really develops to that extent, how many families in your family can survive this turmoil?"

When more than a dozen heads of the family heard this, their faces became ugly.

They didn't expect that the Queen's style was so sharp that they started talking about the important thing before they even finished a cup of hot tea.

Moreover, it is a threat as soon as you open your mouth.

Oh, it was not a threat, but it just tear the royal face openly, telling the truth and pounding them.

It is precisely because the Empress said it is right that they and the court are both prosperous and both rich and lose.

That's why they were willing to come here and were ready to bleed and get money. At the same time, they hoped that the newly appointed emperor would be a wise ruler who could save the country and the country.

But I didn't expect that after I arrived, I realized that the person who summoned them was the queen, not the emperor.

Of course, they did not dare to underestimate the queen at all.

Now, after listening to the queen's words, she has no contempt.

The head of the Wang family immediately stood up, bowed to Gu Xi, and spoke,

"What the Empress said is very much. We are willing to advance and retreat with the court. Although we can't do much, we can still take out some money.

I heard that the emperor communicated with Wen Quxing and got a divine book. I was willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver to buy it home to pay it. It also allowed the children at home to be infected with the breath of the emperor and Wen Quxing, and study in the future will be more promising."

As soon as the head of the Wang family finished speaking, the head of the Xie family stood up and expressed his willingness to pay 100,000 taels of silver to buy the divine book, and also did his best to the court.

The other heads of the family also stood up one after another, all investing 100,000 taels to buy books.

These people have obviously discussed it. The news released by the court was 50,000 taels per book, so they were willing to spend 100,000 taels to please the new emperor.

They are willing to spend this money to avoid disasters!

Moreover, although they didn't see the luxurious version of the divine book, they had already bought a few hardcover versions. They loved the poems in it very much, and they also felt that the silver money was not unfair.

Gu Xi listened to the words of these heads of the family, and offered to buy the divine book, and even increased the price. He nodded with satisfaction.

These people are indeed the best. They are worthy of being a big family that can last for hundreds of years. The head of the family has such strength and is not as petty as it is.

However, her appetite is not just one hundred thousand taels now.

"I am very pleased that you can have this heart to deal with the crisis with the court. I don't have to worry about putting the divine book aside in advance."

Gu Xi smiled gracefully, and said lazyly,

"I just said that there are many turmoils in Dongyang County and other places now, and there are too many refugees, and it is urgent to quell the turmoil.

But the capital is thousands of miles away from Dongyang County, and it will take at least one or two months to arrive if the imperial court sends troops to quell the rebellion. At that time, it may be too late..."

When the head of the Wang family and others heard this, they couldn't help but raise their hearts and looked at each other.

What does the Empress mean? Want them to participate in the quellion?

They really can't do this!

They didn't dare to respond to this matter, so the head of the Wang family and others tried hard to lower their heads to reduce their presence, and their minds were even more tense, for fear of being named by the Queen.

"So, I gritted my teeth and spent all the money on the dowry, communicated with merchants from all over the world, and bought a Golden Dragon spacecraft, which can travel hundreds of thousands of miles a day and only two cups of tea to Dongyang County.

You are here just in time, and the spaceship is coming soon. I wonder if you are interested in visiting with me?"

The head of the Wang family and others, "!!!"

What's the thing?

Golden Dragon Spaceship??

Travel hundreds of thousands of miles a day?

It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine.

Is it true?!

Just as they were confused, Gu Xi had already stood up. She walked out first, and then the eunuchs, palace maids, Gao Shangshu and other ministers also quickly followed, looking very excited.

Wang family leader and others, "???"

These ministers actually believed it, which was simply outrageous.

However, all kinds of complaints and doubts in their hearts did not prevent them from taking steps to follow.

Gu Xi came outside and made a communication with the system, "Okay, let the spaceship come out now."

【Okay, beauty, look into the sky】

Gu Xi looked up at the sky. Even though she had seen the renderings of the spaceship in advance, she was still shocked to the point of being lost after seeing it with her own eyes.

This golden dragon-shaped spaceship is a thousand meters long. When you look up, you can't see it at all. It's also shining with golden light and dragon-shaped domineering appearance. As the system says, it's really cool.

Too cool!

Gu Xi was so shocked, and the others became even more crazy. They were shocked and worshipped and awe, and knelt all over the ground.

"Ahhhh! Look at the sky, there is a golden dragon! There is really a golden dragon!"

"Oh my God! The golden dragon came to the world, this is a sign of great prosperity!"

"God bless me, Daqin!"

...

They forgot the spaceship mentioned by Gu Xi just now, and thought it was a real dragon.

The head of the Wang family and others were stunned. For a moment, they felt that all the books of sages they had read before had gone to the dog's belly.

Well, the saint said, and the son did not speak of strange powers and chaos, but what is the situation now?

Oh my God! They saw the golden dragon with their own eyes. Such a big one suddenly appeared!

Going crazy, going crazy.

"Empress, golden dragons are coming from the sky. Such auspiciousness must be known to the world!"

Gao Shangshu's face turned red with excitement and his whole body trembled.

"Oh, this is not auspiciousness, it was the spaceship I bought for money. It seems that you are very satisfied." Gu Xi calmed down, tilted his head slightly and pointed to the spaceship, and said lazily,

"Do you want to go to the spaceship with me to take a look?"

Gao Shangshu and others, “…ah?!”
Chapter completed!
