After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Chen Shangshu had nothing to say.

"Six Kingdoms" begins with a clear meaning: the six kingdoms are destroyed, and the evil lies in bribing Qin.

In other words, the Qin State used the land donated by the six countries as capital to destroy the six countries and unify the world.

At this point, Chen Shangshu already knows what Shi Nai is going to say, but he also knows that there is a market for "sages" and "sages" with him, but they are not as good as Shi Nai, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs. One tael of silver.

Therefore, his usual set of theories could not convince Shi Nai at all.

Moreover, he didn't dare to run on Shi Nai with heavy words.I was afraid that Shi Nai would say in case: Since Mr. Chen wants to be a sage, why don't you just make up for the 400 million taels of silver for Wala.

Don't doubt, Chen Shangshu believes that Shi Nai can definitely say this.

——God knows, he hasn't even paid back the money he owed to the treasury, so how can he buy it for Wala?

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and let Shi Nai speak.

Shi Nai asked again: "If it is according to Mr. Chen's intention, Wala not only does not need to compensate my Great Xia's army, but also asks the sage to reward it generously, so as to show the demeanor of a great country?"

Master Chen dodged his eyes for a moment, and said with force: "This... this is the usual practice."

"Usually?" Shi Nai laughed, and asked again, "Where should the money for this reward come from? Is it the treasury, or the eunuch?"

He looked at Chen Shangshu like a knife, making Chen Shangshu feel that if he dared to say the word "national treasury", he would pounce on him and tear himself apart.

But the word "inner son"...Chen Shangshu looked at the saint.

"Cough." The sage coughed and said, "The nephew is empty and can't afford that much money."

At this moment, Mr. Chen wanted to cry and swear.

——What the hell, since the Song Dynasty, this has been the practice. Our Ministry of Rites has followed the routine, so why should we be labeled as "enemies"?

You two, those in charge of the national treasury are unwilling to pay, and those in charge of the children are also crying poor, what can I do?

I'm too hard!

Shi Nai bowed his hands to the pilgrim, and said, "If it wasn't for Wala's wolf ambition, leading troops to knock down the pass, the treasury and internal treasury would not be so empty."

Anyway, after all, it's all Wala's fault, and it's only natural for them to lose money!

But when Shi Nai said this, not to mention the saint and the three big bosses of the Ministry of Rites, even Hu Zhan and Liao Yu, who were officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, had the urge to hide their faces.

——The last time you asked for an account, you got back more than 1000 million taels. How dare you say that the treasury is empty?

But these words, the two servants of the household department will not say it to demolish Shangfeng for their own family.

As for the three members of the Ministry of Rites, they want to talk about it.But Shi Nai wanted to pay for it, and he wanted to finish the clan and nobles, but until now, he has never laid hands on civil servants.

If it was three years ago, the civil servants would still think that Shi Nai dared not move their court humerus.But after getting to know Shi Nai for the past three years, they didn't dare to have such an idea at all.

The civil servants always thought that if he didn't come to ask for it, he must be holding back his big move.

Both the timid and the clever ones took the initiative to return the money to the household department.But among them, the three big bosses of the Ministry of Rites are definitely not included.

They are all debtors who haven't changed their debts, so it's fine if they know it on weekdays, so how dare they say "need debt" in front of Shi Nai?

As a result, the treasury was as empty as the nephew, and it was acquiesced by the few people present.

Chen Shangshu still wanted to struggle for a while, "It's just... Our Great Xia is a kingdom of heaven and earth. If we are too harsh on our subordinate countries, we will inevitably leave people with excuses."

Shi Nai glanced at the sage and saw that the sage was also looking at him, so he knew that the sage wanted to shut Chen Shangshu's mouth and not reward Wala.

——The sage also suddenly thought: With Shi Nai's pissing nature, it is absolutely impossible to pay this amount of money.This is the master who even wants to reward his subordinates, and has to find ways to extract money from his wife.Want the treasury to pay for the saint's appearance?

Hehehe, it's better to wash up and sleep quickly, there is everything in the dream.

But the sage is not happy to ask the sage to pay money from his wife.

——Why?ah?This reward belongs to the state, and it is a state affair in the first place, so the money should naturally come out of the state treasury.Since you, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, are not happy, then you should find a way to block the mouth of the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, Shi Nai turned to Chen Shangshu and asked, "May I ask Mr. Chen, is the Han Dynasty considered to be the Kingdom of Heaven?"

"Of course yes."

More than just counting, he is the kingdom of heaven!

Even if the Han Dynasty has perished for a thousand years, no one can deny that it was the Kingdom of Heaven.To this day, the Bai surname in the Central Plains still refers to themselves as Han people.The sages issued imperial edicts to the kingdoms, and they also regarded themselves as "Han".

One can imagine the status of the Han Dynasty.

However, for now, as long as Chen Shangshu admits it, it will be fine.

Shi Nai asked solemnly, "How did the Han Dynasty treat Linbang?"

After he finished asking, he didn't wait for Chen Shangshu to answer, he asked himself and answered: "Nanyue killed the Han envoys, and he was slaughtered into nine counties; Wan Wang killed the Han envoys, and his head hung in the north tower; North Korea killed the Han envoys, and immediately killed them!"

He read each sentence louder and louder, and each sentence became more decisive than one sentence.Chen Shangshu was set by his aura, so he didn't dare to look directly at him for a moment.

Shi Nai questioned: "Nowadays, the Oirats are the first to commit crimes, and our soldiers of the Great Xia are on the bloody battlefield, and the shroud of horse leather was exchanged for this triumphant song. But in the end, Chen Shangshu didn't want to seek justice for the soldiers, but instead encouraged the sage to be the enemy. What is it?" Intentions? Chen Shangshu, are you worthy of those dead soldiers? Are you worthy of the respect and cultivation of the saints?"

Chen Shangshu: "..."

——Who did I provoke and who provoked me?Am I not just a follower?Why do you put this pot on my head?

But he also knew that the sage couldn't and couldn't bear the blame, so he naturally had to become a blame man.

"Master Shi, why is he so aggressive?" Chen Shangshu said angrily, "When did this old man have the intention of being an enemy?"

"No, that would be the best." Shi Nai knew that Chen Shangshu was taking the blame for the saint, and he was not aggressive, so he bowed his hands, "Shi has misunderstood Master Chen, please forgive me."

Chen Shangshu accepted it as soon as he saw it, "Master Shi doesn't have to be like this, we both serve the country and are loyal to the saint."

What he said was not only to express his attitude, but also to secretly warn Shi Nai: We are colleagues, and we will see each other when we look up and down in the future.Furthermore, the saint is still watching from above, so don't go too far.

Shi Nai said: "Master Chen is right. The matter of receiving the Oarat envoys still needs the joint efforts of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple."

Chen Shangshu felt that he had a toothache.

When he thought of receiving the Oala envoys, which meant asking them to pay compensation to the vassals of the Ministry of Rites, he felt that his stomach began to hurt.

——For so many years as an official, their Ministry of Rites has always given rewards to the vassals and accepted their grateful gazes. Where did they do this kind of... This kind of work that is clearly going to be poked in the back by the vassals?

But before he could refuse, the sage at the head nodded, "Well, Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites have always received envoys. Chen Qing still needs to worry about this matter."

"Sir, obey the order."

Chen Shangshu has said these three words countless times.But this time, it was the most aggrieved and difficult one.

The sage nodded, and asked Shi Nai again: "So Shi Qing thinks, how much is it appropriate for Wala to pay?"

This Shi Nai had planned for a long time. When the sage asked, he said: "We are a kingdom of heaven, so we don't want fractions, let's just triple the base number of 400 million."

"what?"

Chen Shangshu took a deep breath, "Isn't that 200 million? Wala just lost the battle, can they afford it?"

The left and right servants of the Ministry of Rites also said:

"They can't afford it."

"If we ask for too much, it's hard to guarantee that they won't resist and even raise their troops again."

Shi Nai said, "Don't worry, they dare not."

Wala is different from Daxia, they are composed of tribes one by one.Although nominally, all the tribal leaders obeyed the Khan, but those leaders below were doing their own thing.

Now this khan is newly appointed, and his prestige is not enough, so he can't suppress all the tribal leaders at all.The only thing the new Khan can rely on is the support of the Great Xia court.

If even Daxia doesn't support him, then he, the Khan, will be done.

Moreover, don't think that Wala's toughness is all warlike.No matter what nationality, people long for a stable life.Wala also has a peace faction.

When these peacemakers feel that Oirat has the upper hand, they naturally don't mind following the Khan to burn, kill and loot.But once Wala fell into a weak position, they would subconsciously want to retreat and preserve their strength.

But now, Great Xia is on the verge of a big victory.At this time, the Daxia lion opened his mouth, not only would not anger Oara, but would make them think that Daxia still had the power to fight, making them dare not act rashly.It will make the main peace faction even more frightened.

"Therefore, Oara's new Khan will never tear himself apart with Daxia. Whatever Daxia asks at this time, he will win over the peace faction and suppress the war faction."

The three people in the Ministry of Rites looked at each other, and they all felt that Shi Nai's analysis made sense, so they nodded to each other.

——If this is the case, this job can be accepted.

In the past, they were only limited by fixed thinking, but now Shi Nai helped them break through that shell, and with their wisdom, they could see through it naturally.

"Please rest assured, the sage, the ministers will not disgrace their mission."

******

After the six people came out of Qianqing Palace, the Minister of Rites Zuo Shilang frowned and asked Chen Shangshu: "My lord, should we also change our attitude towards the Oarat envoys?"

"That's natural." Chen Shangshu stroked his beard, and the old god said, "Since we have the upper hand, it is natural to be strong and let them spend money to buy peace."

Shi Nai complimented, "Master Chen is wise."

Chen Shangshu coughed reservedly, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Lord Shi, what if Wala really can't afford that much money?"

After all, that was more than 1000 million taels, not more than 1000 taels.

This is simple.

Shi Nai said, "Can they pay in installments?"

"Huh? This...what is installment?"

"That is to pay 500 million in the first year, and pay another 100 million every year for the rest until it is paid off. However, interest is calculated in installments."

Chen Shangshu thought for a while and then understood.But he was still a little hesitant: "Is this... feasible? If they haven't paid off, they have recovered their vitality..."

Shi Nai said: "The reason for installment is to prevent them from recovering their vitality."

If they were asked to pay 200 million at a time, they might simply give up the good pastures and migrate westward.

But in terms of installments, paying a part every year is within their tolerance and will not affect their lives.At best, it is insufficient reserves to fight the war.

Not everyone likes to fight.

Chen Shangshu and Shangshu nodded again and again, and finally asked: "In this case, why don't we ask for more?"

Shi Nai: "...Master Chen is the right person to receive the emissary from Oirat, so this matter should naturally be decided by Master Chen."

——How else can I say that the hearts of scholars are dark, this is more ruthless than me.
