In the period that Yan wang was absent, the contradiction between the new officials and the aristocratic forces in the dynasty beca to preserve their nobility and righteousness, while the other raised up with the wind Soap between those from the social classes and those from all walks of life was no less than that between the Barbarians of the Eighteen Tribes and the Great Liang people
The aristocratic faeneration Ale area of land Since the price of grain kept falling in the year of Yuan He, for the sake of their income in the future, aristocratic fa fro to a well-spread trend On one hand, it gives the merchants who used to be the lowest rank in society a chance to step up, on the other hand, it also had a bad effect on private eneration, there have been laws and regulations in Great Liang — any renowned individuals, or anyone with the status of princes and nobles, and the like, were not allowed to compete with the people for profits, because once the word ‘official’ was involved in business, it will no longer be purely business Even if they did not actively bully others, there would be villains ould ride on their coat tails
The feud between the old aristocratic fa history and was not a eneration or dynasty
At this time, the new nobles ca over Whether be it the east wind prevailing over the ind or the ind prevailing over the east wind, of course, the old aristocratic family would spare no effort to suppress it New hatred and old hatred stacked together They could hold their noses and work together when the country was in a mess At this tinan could free up their hands again The war situation was not so urgent, their conflict immediately broke out onceachieves success’
Yan wang did not even have tis up when he returned to the court, aiting for hi
They argued fro Huo tickets to the malpractices of the new ad the Canal Office Then, frohts, from civil and coument has somehow even arrisons on all four borders, breaking out like a wild horse and going straight to the question of whether Jiangnan should continue to fight or not — the Fang Qin party had grasped the root of Yan wang If not for the huge war expenditure in recent years, the Treasury crying out in poverty, Yan wang would not be able to seize the opportunity tothe court in chaos like this
A certain noble fahteen Tribes had surrendered, from noill have rich Ziliujin sources The vitality of the country is slowly recovering, it is really not suitable to fight again within three to five years I think the peace talks presented by the Westerners recently are very sincere They can withdraw froive up the occupied land, we can allow the the East Sea and disperse the garrison to ports along the coast, which can not only provide peace for the people, but also serve as a transit place for our ardless of reason, is always provocative Continuing to add more conditions, it is quite heartless ”
Naturally, soive up the fertile land along the East Sea to a group of Western monkeys? Can’t we open ports ourselves? Don’t we have our own merchant caravan? The lands that the ancestors passed down, you’ll just give the at the entire court, there is no oneQin went to the battle in person, casting the ‘betraying the country’ topic aside and said without hesitation, “The Westerners ca distance, most of their resources needed to be supplied froht were only tired people far away from their home country Inoff a forotiate with theht years, it would be difficult for the, these years he had been continuously injured, never had a few co days For the sake of hundred thousand soldiers bathed in blood on the front line, I also agree it’s ti and rest — this hness Yan wang has any…plan for the Feng Huo tickets?”
Yan wang, who had been listening on froed out by hi Qin and said, “There’s no need to discuss it again later, after all, Feng Huo tickets has ‘Feng Huo’ as its naentleers, the third batch of Feng Huo tickets has no reason to be issued The court can always repay the debt with the tax revenue of the next five years as guarantee”
re huo literallyto local people of the approach of an ene Qin shook his head and said with a s had spoken froers’? The Westerners have been losing day by day, this is a defeated ene surrender! When they arrive at sea, they are nothing but a group of rootless duckweeds, not adequate enough cause any serious trouble”
Chang Geng also s knows everything in the world without leaving home He knows that the Westerners are rootless duckweeds frohted ability, people truly cannot catch up to your shadow”
Seeing that the two people were getting acri had to come forward and say, “Matters of the army, there are soldiers in the arentabout the Liangjiang battle? Can’t calculate a few ht up so much troubles instead —— A Min, you should also talk less”
An assistant ht tihness Yan wang has just returned froured out the reason why the third batch of Feng Huo tickets are delayed
“As you know, although the salaries of the civil and military officials in our dynasty are rich compared with those in the previous dynasty, but everyone has their fah to maintain a little face, how dare anyone be rich and powerful when the country is in trouble? HowHuo tickets was included in the official inspection? At present, we can’t get any hness has always had intimate relations with the merchant alliance tycoons and Du Wan Quan Do you think you can come out to ask the Geng refused to fall into this trap with a hidden , he said: “On the way back to the capital, I have visited Master Du and the others Now, factories have been built all over the country As a righteous businessees, which costs a lot of money Now, most of the resources had been poured into the Canal Office, even if they are willing to go bankrupt to help the country, could they also abandon the refugees that had taken a lot of effort to settle? To tell you the truth, Master Du’s original words to ht now, he could not find another coin”
Fang Qin refused to let hi a way out back when you pushed forward the Feng Huo ticket?”
Chang Geng looked at hi that the money should be borrowed first When it is due two years later, when the Treasury is no longer in a tight spot, there will be a solution, if not, we can use the third batch of Feng Huo tickets to solve the urgent proble had already taken charge of the Ministry of Revenue, you yourself didn’t raise any objection Now, you come and ask me On the contrary, I would like to ask you, where did thein and out of the Ministry of Revenue in the past two years go to? Why are we lacking so rily: “The account books are all there If Yan wang has doubts about this official, you can go to check theh: “True, how can the masters in the Ministry of Revenue not be able to calculate a few account books, ithad lost his h!”
Fang Qin hurriedly apologize while Chang Geng bowed slightly and stood on the side stubbornly He was very silent , even if there was so, he seldo Qin couldn’t help looking at hi

Li Feng rarely felt , his face also softened a lot He asked, “After such a long ti Geng’s s saw that he didn’t like tobrother can be an initiator, choosing a child from within the family for you to adopt When you become older in the future, therepaused and twisted his hands together, as if there was still grass juice left on his fingers He looked at the direction of the Third Prince’s departure, his face seemed quite moved But after a while, he still did not nod
Chang Geng: “Thank you very much, Royal Brother, There is no need”
“The child that follows you can inherit royal title, in the future, even if he does not have anyfuture There areto leave their child in your care” Li Feng said, “You don’t have to worry about feeling guilty of robbing people’s children”
