Chapter 389 Drinking Tea(1/2)
Just as the four great kings stepped into the door of the imperial study.
Li Chenan suddenly slapped the table and shouted at Li Wenhou:
"What is the Ministry of Revenue?"
"The Ministry of Revenue is the country's account! It controls the economic lifeline of the entire country!"
"What is your Minister of Revenue doing?"
"You are the steward of this account!"
"What are you doing? You don't have money, and you don't have food!"
"Don't think you are my second uncle and I can't do you!"
"Let me tell you that for the sake of Ningguo's country, I, Li Chen'an, cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes!"
"I even dare to ban the Duke's Mansion. What is your Minister of Revenue?"
He suddenly stood up, turned his head with a darker face and glanced at the four old dukes. Instead of saying hello, he walked to the dragon case in two steps, took a map and returned to the tea table.
He spread the map in front of Li Wenhou and took a snap:
"Look carefully!"
"The latest news from the Imperial City Department is that the soldiers of Yue have arrived in their Xigu City! We are our Dongqu Pass for more than a hundred miles away from Xigu City!"
"Look at it again, Xiye Kingdom has also gathered 50,000 troops, and now it has arrived in Xiliang City!"
"This is the Uighurs, and this is the Wu Kingdom, there is no good at all... Our Ning Kingdom is now surrounded by enemies!"
"Chinyan Army, I have appointed General Wu Mian as the head commander and General Yan Jinong as the deputy commander, so that they can lead the Redyan Army to Wuya Pass to deal with the unfavorable situation of Wu's envoy coming to negotiate!"
"Shenwu Army, I have ordered Zhonglisu to be the general and rushed to Dongqu Pass at night... The eastern border troops may be unable to resist the troops of Yue!"
“What are you fighting in war?”
Li Chenan looked angry, and he slapped the table again, making the four old princes tremble.
"What you get is money and food!"
"You tell me now that there is no money or food, so let's just spoil it!... Then everyone is waiting for the country to be destroyed!"
"Do you know why I don't think of this shit emperor?"
"Short-lived Emperor!"
"The Emperor of the Destroyed Country!"
"No one can do it!"
"There is no money to be changed!"
"It doesn't matter if I, Li Chenan. Even if Ningguo is divided up by these countries, I am the owner of a small tavern, what am I afraid of?!"
After saying this, he turned his head and looked at the four old dukes, stretched out his hand and gestured: "But what about them?"
"Their roots are in Ningguo!"
"Their family is very big and has a high reputation. If those enemies siege Kyoto, do you think it's me or they're unlucky?"
"They may be wiped out! Their billions of wealth will definitely fall into the hands of the enemy!"
Li Chenan and his family stood up, "It is hard to cook without rice. I have no money or food. I must have no choice."
"The four old dukes have arrived. They have promised me to make up for the taxes for the past twenty years and are willing to hand over the industries they own to the country!"
"This is better than falling into the hands of the enemy if the country is destroyed!"
"This is the righteousness!"
"This is the old and successful country!"
"They are the indestructible cornerstones of Ningguo!"
"Is it better for you to destroy the country or give up your small family? Gu Quan is better for everyone."
"Please sit down and have tea for yourself. I won't accompany you!"
After saying that, Li Chenan left angrily.
He walked through Duke Cheng and Duke Yan, walked out of the imperial study without looking back, and walked into the wind and snow.
This guy made the four old dukes stunned.
The four of them looked at each other.
What's going on?
When did the Regent agree to make up for the twenty years of tax revenue?
When did he agree to hand over the industry in his hands to the country?
I promised to talk to the Regent!
It's about talking!
It is okay to pay taxes, but it takes too much for twenty years, and it can be paid for ten years.
As for handing over the gold mountains in their hands... the Regent's mouth was too wide and his eating habits were too ugly. It was okay to hand over the part. As for how much the part was, we also had to talk to the Regent.
But now he didn't talk about anything and didn't say a word, so he actually left!
He left and was talking nonsense!
But it’s not easy to sleep in peace if you don’t make this matter safe!
He is now the legitimate regent. Although the four major governments seem to have resolved the crisis, there are Xuan armored cavalry outside the mansion from time to time.
Just when the four old dukes were hesitating, Li Wenhou sighed and spoke:
"Since the Regent said that we would invite everyone to have tea, the four old dukes would sit down and have a drink. Let's listen to the difficulties faced by our Ningguo now!"
Li Wenhou was able to sit firmly in the position of Minister of Revenue for many years and was still working under Ji Tai's hands. He was not a fool.
Although he has a very stern face on weekdays, his heart is like a mirror.
He already understood what Li Chenan was trying to get angry on purpose just now—
After all, it is the Duke's Mansion that has been passed down for three hundred years in Ningguo.
After all, in this Kyoto change, Duke Cheng and Duke Qi helped him with all their strength.
Although Duke Yan had other intentions, Yan Jidao stood beside Li Chenan.
Even the Chiyan Army, which the Duke of Yan Mansion thought was under control, stood behind Li Chenan inexplicably.
When the boy Yanzifu saw Li Chenan, he lowered his arrogant head.
So Li Chenan couldn't really chop off all the four major royal family members.
He could only adopt the strategy of being gentle.
Of course I have to cooperate with him in this scene.
Li Wenhou poured a cup of tea for the four old dukes, looked up, and said, "The situation in Ningguo is now a critical moment of survival."
"He said... this is also the time to test the loyalty of the nobles of Ningguo."
"You all know what he means not to be the emperor. Next he will leave... He can really pat his butt and leave, but as he said just now, you all have great family and great business, where can you go?"
"Besides, even if you can leave Ningguo, you can't take out those industries. In the end, it will not be taken back by the court, or it may be confiscated by the enemy."
"It's better to go to that situation..."
No one expected that Duke Luo would speak at this time.
He interrupted Li Wenhou, stroked his long beard and said:
"The Luo Mansion has been favored by the emperor for three hundred years, and now the regent is in charge of government affairs, and he is indeed facing many difficulties."
"I have been discussing this matter with my children and grandchildren for a long time these days. Everyone thinks that Luo's mansion should share the hardships and worries with Ningguo and help the Regent to relieve his worries."
"So, my Luo Mansion voluntarily compensates the country for thirty years of taxes!"
"In addition, our Luo Mansion also voluntarily handed over all the six major salt fields in our hands to the country to show the attitude of our Luo Mansion to the Regent!"
As soon as Duke Luo said this, the other three dukes were shocked.
They looked at Lao Guogong Luo and didn't know what medicine this old guy took.
Lao Guogong Luo feels bitter!
During this Kyoto Incident, the Duke Luo Guofu stood opposite Li Chenan!
He is different from the Duke of Yan. The Duke of Yan also has at least Yan Jidao and Chiyan Army to help Li Chenan. His Duke of Luo is a pure bad guy!
Li Chenan had a short communication with him a few days ago.
The meaning is very simple.
I don't owe you!
I have no friendship with you, Mr. Luo.
