These words were somewhat disrespectful. Both the Weiyang Lord and the civil and military officials present showed a look of disgust.
They more or less have granaries and wealth in their hands. To them, these are private properties. Even if they are brought into a coffin, they cannot use them for the untouchables and soldiers below.
"Changqing, why can't you understand what I say?" Lord Weiyang was hitting Su Changqing almost plainly: "Those grains must not be touched, they are the last guarantee for our capital, Ying."
The King of Southern Chu was also helpless. He had become accustomed to it over the years. He really had to look at the faces of civil and military officials and various princes and ministers.
After all, a large part of Nanchu's army were private soldiers of these people.
"Since Lord Ling Yin said that those granaries cannot be moved, we have to find another way! Su Aiqing, it was you who made the alliance between Nanchu and Dashang back then. Do you think you can borrow some food from them first for emergency use?"
Su Changqing sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty, it's not that the humble minister is unwilling to do it. This matter is really unsolvable. If we ask for help from the great merchants at this moment, why don't we tell them clearly that our Southern Chu is at a critical moment? What should we do if they send troops?
"
Everyone present fell silent. They suddenly realized that they seemed to be in a deadlock and could not break out of it.
"Hmph, Mr. Su is right. At this time, you can no longer take care of yourself. You should first take out the food and send it to the front line."
"It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. Your family doesn't have many people and doesn't have much food to eat. Our family lives by pointing to that granary."
"Who do you think you are? How dare you point fingers here."
...
The whole hall suddenly became chaotic.
There were usually some minor conflicts between the civil and military ministers. At this moment, the conflicts were magnified in an instant, and some people even fought in the court, which made Su Changqing very depressed.
The King of Nan Chu didn't bother to care about this. He just waved his hand to Su Changqing and then went to the side point.
"Su Aiqing, there is no one else here. Can you tell me that there is really no other way to deal with the current situation?"
Su Changqing was silent for a moment, looked around again, and then took a few steps forward.
"Of course, what we are most in need of now is money and food. As long as we can get it and send it to the front line, we, Southern Chu, can completely annex the remaining vassal states, and then declare war on Dashang!"
The King of Nanchu nodded repeatedly: "I know this too, but where can I get so much money and food now?"
Su Changqing suddenly looked mysterious, with a trace of sinisterness flashing in his eyes.
"Killing the goose to get the eggs. Princes, ministers and various forces all have many large granaries in their hands. If the granaries in their hands can be confiscated, they will be enough to support the frontline army."
King Chu's body shook violently, which meant that he was asked to deal with the princes and nobles in the country.
"My dear, what do you mean by this? Are you going to cause a bloody storm in the country at this time?"
Su Changqing nodded without hesitation.
"Currently this is the only way to save Nanchu from danger! Your Majesty, remember that you are the king as long as Nanchu is here. If Nanchu is destroyed one day, the princes and nobles in the country may still retain their
With your current status and enjoying the glory and wealth, you are the king of a subjugated country and a prisoner."
These words suddenly entered the heart of the King of Chu. Over the years, there have always been shortcomings in the state affairs of Southern Chu, and it was almost firmly controlled by the princes, nobles and various forces.
