"Recently, His Majesty has indeed asked the fifth prince to sort out the tax records of previous years." Cao Jing looked at Qin Feng's expression with some sympathy: "It seems that the tax increase is already in the plan. This time the two countries are at odds. If the war breaks out and the national treasury is tight,

Even if you can’t fight, you still have to prepare for a rainy day.”

Qin Feng thought about the talks between the two countries and looked at Cao Jing. Cao Jing shook his head and said: "This meeting was led by the two ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War. It was supposed to be the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, but because the Minister of the Song Dynasty married Princess Rouji, he withdrew to avoid suspicion.

talks."

This talk is mainly about maritime trade tariffs and the deployment of military forces by the two militaries at sea, and even about the boundaries of their respective territorial waters. It is indeed appropriate for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue to take action.

This was the only information Cao Jing got. After all, the discussions were behind closed doors and the results would not be announced to the public until the results were obtained.

The two ministers of the two departments and all the cabinet scholars declined to receive guests.

"No matter what the outcome of this meeting is, it is a reminder to His Majesty that Nanying is dishonest! To strengthen the military, money is needed. Raising taxes can be said to be a certainty." Qin Feng said: "For me, it is not a good thing.

.”

Although a batch of real estate has been disposed of, the silver coins have been replaced with gold leaves, and the liquid silver coins in the accounts have been removed, the remaining business is difficult to cash in, and can only be done month by month.

move.

This has not been completely removed. How can he be willing to let Emperor Yuan peel off his skin first? Now every cent of silver earned by the merchant bank can be used in the future. Qin Feng pondered for a moment and suddenly thought of what Xiao Lingyao said before.

As he spoke, an idea came to mind.

When the storm is about to come, we must welcome it and cannot avoid it.

Over there, Zhao Lun and Xiao Lingyao had not seen each other for a long time, and now their situation was reversed. Now that he was the prince, Xiao Lingyao could only stay anonymous in Sui City, disguised as a man. Zhao Lun had already heard Qin Feng say something about his mother-in-law.

, now his eyes are slightly red.

Xiao Lingyao knew that he was upset and said in a low voice: "My mother-in-law got married to Master Bai by accident. Master Bai had selfish motives in this matter, but I have dealt with this manor and he is sincere to my mother.

Now he is willing to stand with us."

Zhao Lun knew that Sister A was whitewashing the peace, and said in a hoarse voice: "It was Young Master Bai who took him away, but he didn't leave any clues. If Qin Feng hadn't gone there in time, wouldn't you have fallen into Zuo Pingdao's hands.

"

Mentioning this person, Zhao Lun couldn't wait to kill him right now!

"This person still has some uses, but he must be eliminated." Xiao Lingyao thought of the sinister look in that person's eyes and said, "Keeping him now is just to use a knife to kill people. This time he will end the Tang family. According to this person's character, he should think of himself as a

We took advantage of it.”

Zhao Lun secretly sighed that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Qin Feng and Ajie. Thinking of Ajie and Qin Feng's enthusiasm when they walked in, their shoulders almost bumped into each other. He felt a little bitter in his heart: "Ajie and Qin Feng

Feng has made a deal again?"

Qin Feng's ears were sharp, and he sneered in his heart when he heard this. This future brother-in-law is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. In his eyes, there is no man in the world who is worthy of his sister. In the past, during the selection of the prince-in-law, he saw

These candidates are not happy.

He and Zuo Pingdao both thought at the time that Zhao Lun was disdainful of them because of his deep love for Princess Jinhua. Little did they know that this was contempt from his future brother-in-law. They were so imaginative that they couldn't touch the truth.

As soon as these words came out, not only Zhao Lun was concerned, Cao Jing and Jing Wuming who were outside the house, and Bai Qian all pricked up their ears. Xiao Lingyao sighed softly and said quietly: "There is cooperation this time, but

My sister and he are going to get married, and this is true."

Zhao Lun felt as if the soy sauce and vinegar had been overturned, and he asked hurriedly: "But for me?"

Qin Feng laughed in his heart. He really wanted to shake this kid's head to see if it was all water. How could he have such a big face? Is he worthy of Qin Feng's promise to Xiao Lingyao to achieve him?

.

Xiao Lingyao was even more surprised and said seriously: "No, it's for Sister herself."

Zhao Lun's eyes were filled with sadness. The sister who had always been protecting him finally had another man to worry about. He felt sour in his heart. At this time, the shock was more intense than when he knew that his sister was looking for a fake consort. He was fake.

The consort and the real brother-in-law are still the same person!

Qin Feng quietly grinded his teeth and said with ill intentions: "Fifth prince, relax, I have met your mother-in-law, and she knows everything about me and Ningmei. It is natural that I can allow your mother-in-law to return to Sui City this time."

I mean, I will call you brother-in-law in the future."

How could Xiao Lingyao not know the twists and turns in Qin Feng's belly, but she knew Zhao Lun's thoughts, and now she could not help Qin Feng to "beat" him well, but just gave Qin Feng a quietly reproachful look.

Zhao Lun gritted his teeth, brother-in-law?

"Young Master Qin is joking. Although I agreed, you and I are both men at the moment. The matter of brother-in-law should wait until my sister resumes her women's clothing." Zhao Lun was shocked when he thought of his sister-in-law voice.

Are you telling me your real name?

If my sister has a name in her heart, wouldn't she already be leaning towards Qin Feng? Zhao Lun suppressed the sourness in his heart and said: "Since my sister doesn't want me to get involved in the fight for the legitimate son, it is in line with your Majesty's wishes.

.”

"He has beaten me before. After all, I am half of the blood of the previous dynasty. How could he let the blood of the Rong family dominate his Xiao family?" Zhao Lun put away his previous mood and exchanged a look with Cao Jing.

Xiao Lingyao smiled instead: "Your Majesty, what you said is reasonable. How did you respond?"

Cao Jing held his hands on his chest and clenched his teeth. Zhao Lun's face turned red. What could he do? He immediately knelt down and said that he was not even willing to be the prince, let alone the master of the East Palace.

Please, Your Majesty, please let him out of the palace.

Qin Feng smiled after hearing this. Zhao Lun finally became smart and followed Emperor Yuan's words to complete the task of leaving the palace.

Emperor Yuan was in a state of distress now. Zhao Lun was not worth his trouble. He left the palace as soon as he left the palace. He didn't think too much about it afterwards. After Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao looked at each other, they thought of Meng Hongying and Meng Nvguan.

Xiao Lingyao told this about the rumors in the city. Hearing that there were still a group of old officials from the previous dynasty secretly working against Emperor Yuan, Cao Jing felt happy. He had also heard about the deeds of this female official Meng from his parents. Although there were many female officials in the previous dynasty.

, but she is the only one who has reached this official rank.

Her appeal among the old ministers of the previous dynasty was also quite strong, but when she heard about the bearded guest named Lin, Cao Jing couldn't guess his identity for a while, but Xiao Lingyao had some guesses: "Brother Cao Jing remembers that there was a Duke Dingguo in Daqi.

?”

Cao Jing was startled: "Daqiding Duke Lin Xian?"

Lin Gong, who was named Duke of Dingguo by his great-grandfather, was the son of a farmer. He was born with great strength and stood out in the martial arts examination. Unfortunately, this man could not read a single Chinese character, so it was difficult for him to enter the court. However, his great-grandfather made an exception and promoted him, which attracted a lot of attention in the court.
