Chapter 517 (2/2)

Because the king of Jin put the words first, the other two didn't show any sincerity.

Xiao Tongqing, Prince an, had no choice but to say, ”I'll take out two million Liang.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as his voice fell, the prince of Jin looked at him playfully and said with a smile: ”I say you old nine, you have been in good weather all these years. You are the same as me. What's so funny? If I were you, I'd give you at least five million taels? ”

As soon as Xiao Tongqing heard it, he knew that the king of Jin was running with words

He, however, thought that he was the first one to take the lead just now, so it was not easy for him to get tangled in this matter.

”Five million taels is not enough, but two and a half million taels is still enough!” Xiao Tongqing also took the middle road.

”Two hundred and five?” But the king of Jin said with a smile, ”it's better to add some more, three million Liang!”

Xiao Tongqing still wanted to bargain, but when he thought of his five brother character, he changed his words and said, ”three million taels is three million taels! Buy it now, deal! ”

On one side, Xiao Ruizhe was relieved to listen.

He was really worried that he, the rich uncle of the ninth emperor, would accept it. By that time, they would be in more trouble in Southwest China than in Liaodong.

Now when he heard that Prince an of Liaodong was only willing to pay 3 million taels, he quickly followed him and said, ”well, the expenditure of Prince Rongqin's mansion in recent years is quite large, and it's not as much as Uncle Jiu, which is more than Uncle Wu, but less than uncle Jiu, which is 2.6 million taels.”

Although the two million and six hundred thousand taels made his flesh ache.

When Xiao Tongqing heard this, he felt that the prince of honor was also a slippery man.

It's just that I've just patted my chest. It's not so easy to think about it again.

While Mr. Yin Ge was sitting aside, listening to the three princes who were in charge of the country, you and I suddenly understood the intention of emperor Jingxuan.

These three Lords have been fighting for their own interests for many years, so it is impossible for them to really stand in the same line with each other.

The advantage of doing so is to let the three princes contain each other. If anyone dares to jump out first, the remaining two will surely meet and attack in order to safeguard their own interests.

It's like putting a frog, a centipede and a snake together. A frog eats a centipede. A centipede can bite a snake, and a snake can swallow a frog. The one who starts first will not get good results.

In this way, it can not be better for these assistant ministers.

The new emperor is young, and the Empress Dowager is not allowed to do politics. That is to say, in the next days, the whole court has the final say of them.

At the thought of this, his heart was a little excited.

Suddenly there was a sense of ambition.

But Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of household said with a frown: ”although the three kings are willing to give up some money, 7.6 million Liang... I'm afraid it can't solve any real problem... The place to spend money is...”

But before he finished his words, Yin Ge interrupted him: ”it's better to have something than nothing. It's better to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. Don't always think about open source. It's also very important to reduce expenditure.”“ Since the Treasury's financial resources are not enough, some things can be simplified, such as the emperor's accession ceremony, the Empress Dowager's Conferment Ceremony... ”Mr. Yin Ge counted them carefully.” let's make it clear to the emperor and Empress Dowager about the difficulties of the imperial court, and I think they will agree with us. ”
