Before Chu Ran could answer, the little prince directly raised his voice and stopped Ji Menglan and said, "This is a major event in the royal palace. Although you are the princess, you are also a woman. Of course you don't know about these things!"
Ji Menglan looked at the little prince blankly, not understanding why the little prince stopped her.
This is clearly a fictitious thing!
If it is confirmed, how much tax tribute will be paid for every year? Now, it is the time to use money to use people!
However, the little prince did not look at him again, but smiled and looked at the third prince and the high priest, saying, "Chu Ran is right. This matter was also something that my Northern King's Mansion has been thinking about for a long time. After all, there is
If you say it well, if the country does not exist, the people will recover! This is also a part of my Northern King's Mansion, which is for my Tianyue Kingdom!"
"Okay, okay! The heart of the Northern Xinjiang Prince's Mansion is touching the world! I will report the righteous heart of the Northern Xinjiang Prince's Mansion to my father in a complete manner and let him reward the Northern Xinjiang Prince's Mansion!"
The third prince spoke loudly, then raised his wine glass and drank it all over with the little prince!
Seeing the reactions of the two, especially the admiring gaze that the little prince gave after he finished speaking, Chu Ran couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, when saying this, Chu Ran also took a great risk.
If this matter is achieved, it will definitely be a win-win situation for both the Northern King's Palace and the Royal Family.
The Northern Xinjiang Palace is rich, and although the tax tribute is huge, the Northern Xinjiang Palace can definitely bear it.
With a layer of tax tribute, the royal suspicion can be minimized.
He didn't believe that the royal family would not notice the act of recruiting soldiers and recruiting talents in recent years!
This matter can at least make the Northern King's Mansion feel at ease for a long time!
The royal family can rely on these tax tributes to vigorously support the war on the northern border!
What he was worried about was not whether his ideas were correct or not.
But whether the Northern King’s Mansion can bear these tax tributes!
The little prince's answer made his last doubt disappear, and he would definitely be able to gain more appreciation from the little prince with this sentence.
It’s not that he needs these appreciations, but that his family needs it!
He didn't want his tribe members to live like being locked in prison!
If he compromised a little bit and could improve the living environment of his tribe, he would still be happy to accept it.
Besides, this is indeed a good thing for both parties!
"There are always voices in the court recently saying, 'The Northern King's Mansion is powerful and he is confused.' After I go back, who dares to say this? I will never tolerate it!"
As soon as the third prince said this, the little prince immediately laughed and swore: "The heart of the Northern Prince's Mansion can be seen by heaven and earth!"
"Didn't you agree that this family dinner will not discuss state affairs?"
At this time, the high priest who had never spoken waved his hand to the two of them and smiled: "The little prince and the third prince are both pillars of the country, but today, if you don't talk about state affairs, how about it?"
"Yes, yes, no state affairs!"
The little prince smiled and nodded.
And Chu Ran rarely spoke after those two sentences, and kept eating and drinking on his own.
I have to say that the banquet at the Northern King's Mansion tasted really good.
Good wine and good food!
Chu Ran's mouth was full of greasy food, which made the people in the venue look at Chu Ran intentionally or unintentionally.
But they were all ignored by Chu Ran, who was in the process of eating and drinking.
It was like the person who just said those two key words was not Chu Ran.
The suspicion of Chu Ran in the third prince and the little prince disappeared instantly.
The third prince suspected that Chu Ran was devoted to serving the Northern King's Mansion.
The little prince was suspicious whether Chu Ran had secretly defected to the third prince.
But Chu Ran's performance.
But it just shows that this is impossible.
Because only those who are open-minded and have no worries can be so natural and casual.
"Young Master Chu is really a person with temperament, haha!"
The third prince shook his head with a smile.
"Make the third prince laugh!"
The little prince also smiled in surprise.
"Your Highness, the third prince, you guys eat it too. The taste is really good, much better than what I cook at home!"
When Chu Ran heard the two of them, he said without raising his head.
Both of them just smiled and didn't say much.
"Just a foodie!"
Princess Ten curled her lips and snorted: "There is no rules!"
Chu Ran ignored him at all.
Until the banquet ends.
Chu Ran then stood up and, at the command of the little prince, sent the high priest, the third prince and the tenth princess out of the hall and went to the guest room to rest.
Just after a few people left, a figure slowly walked out behind the screen. This person was the first-rank military marquis, Lantian!
The little prince looked at Lantian and said lightly: "Take the person down and just pretend that he has never been here!"
"Yes, little prince!"
Lantian received the order, and a series of armor hits the sounds further and further away until they disappear.
At this moment, Ji Menglan finally had the opportunity to ask for the doubts in her heart: "Brother, that Chu Ran is clearly forcing my Northern Xinjiang Palace to increase tax tribute. How could you agree? This is not a trivial matter!"
"Then do you think what is the most important thing for our Northern Xinjiang Palace now?"
The little prince did not answer the question.
"this……"
Ji Menglan hesitated for a moment and said, "General? Armed soldiers? Talent?"
“Yes, not!”
The little prince nodded, shook his head again, and said slowly: "It's time! As long as there is time, I can get all of this in the Northern King's Mansion."
"time……"
Hearing these two words, Ji Menglan seemed to understand something in an instant, "Brother, what do you mean is to use this extra tax tribute to exchange for the trust of the Tianyue Kingdom Royal, thinking that we can buy more time?"
She was a smart person, and when the little prince got to the point, she suddenly realized it.
"That's right!"
The little prince nodded.
But then, he fell into deep thought. After a long time, he spoke: "It seems that Chu Ran still knows a lot about the situation of our Northern King's Mansion!"
Ji Menglan suggested: "He could actually think of something that I didn't even think of. Brother, it seems that this guy is indeed a talent. Should we think about it again?"
Earlier, she was very optimistic about Chu Ran's talent.
However, the little prince doesn't like it.
But now, in addition to his outstanding talent, he has shown such outstanding vision.
It is not something that ordinary people can have to see through what the Northern King’s Mansion needs most at a glance.
"Go and call him over!"
The little prince nodded slightly.
Ji Menglan then got up and walked out of the hall. After sending the third prince and the others into the living room hall, Chu Ran, who had just stopped outside the living room hall, stopped him.
Seeing Ji Menglan, Chu Ran bowed slightly: "Greetings to the princess!"
There seemed to be no surprises in the appearance of the princess.
"Do you know I'll come to you?"
Ji Menglan was slightly stunned.
She thought that after Chu Ran sent away the third prince and the others, she would leave the palace directly. After all, this was what the little prince agreed to.
