1130. Chapter 1130 Water Depth

Mo Rongzhan felt refreshed and held Ye Zhen in his arms. Her carambola-colored disc-pattern pajamas had long been in disarray. It was crumpled into a ball and was still under the bed. The sheets had been changed, and Ye Zhen's clothes were He had also changed his clothes and was leaning on Mo Rongzhan's shoulder, listening to him talk about the envoy from Qi today.

"So, the State of Qi actually doesn't care much about Zhao Ning." Ye Zhen said in a low voice. If Zhao Yong valued this daughter who was living outside, he would definitely have someone recognize her as soon as possible. I haven’t even gone to see Zhao Ning yet.

"There are four princesses in Qi. I have never heard of any of them having a bad life. Zhao Yong treats his children well. No matter what, as long as Zhao Ning is his daughter, she will still have the dignity that a princess should have." Rong Zhan said quietly.

Ye Zhen frowned and said, "I don't think Qi State will be grateful to you for finding the princess for them."

Seeing her frowning, Mo Rongzhan only found it funny, "Do you think they will still be grateful?"

"After all, I am retrieving the princess for Qi State. Even if I don't need to be grateful, I still have to show it. As long as Zhao Yong shows his intention to form an alliance with Jin State, the war in Xiliang will definitely go much smoother. Even if he doesn't plan to form an alliance, It's okay if you mean it." Ye Zhen mumbled and complained.

"Well, Zhao Yongzhen is nothing." Murong Zhan laughed and nodded.

Ye Zhen stared angrily, "Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?"

Murong Zhan held her in his arms and coaxed her, "No, Yaoyao is right, but Zhao Yong wants to think more than you. What he considers is not the interests of Jin country, but the influence of their Qi country. "

"What do you mean?" Ye Zhen asked a little confused.

"The alliance between Zhao Yong and the Jin Kingdom will naturally make Beiming Kingdom wary. If they push out Xiliang, who will benefit?" Murong Zhan patiently analyzed the situation with Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen looked at him seriously, "We! Beiming Kingdom withdrew its troops from Xiliang. You stayed in Xiliang in the name of precaution and incorporated Xiliang into Jin Kingdom. In the end, Jin Kingdom will benefit."

"What benefits does the State of Qi gain if the State of Jin takes Xiliang as its own?" Morong Zhan asked again.

"Qi State..." Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, "Qi State has gained a powerful enemy."

Mo Rongzhan kissed the corner of her mouth and said, "Yaoyao is so smart."

Ye Zhen sighed dejectedly. She didn't understand such a simple truth. The alliance between Qi State and Jin State was of no benefit at all. It would only give Jin State a chance to become stronger. Why was Zhao Yong so stupid as to give Jin State an opportunity for no reason? .

"So, after Zhao Yong takes away Zhao Ning, he will no longer have any contact with the Kingdom of Jin." Ye Zhen said.

Mo Rongzhan squinted his eyes slightly to regain his composure, "Not necessarily, let's just wait and see."

Ye Zhen touched his face, "Are you tired these days? You have lost weight."

"No." Mo Rongzhan said with a smile, kissed her palm, "Sleep with me for a while."

Isn't it normal for him to lose weight? In the past, when she was in the palace, she would stew this soup and make that dish for him every now and then. Now he is often in Qianqing Palace. Which woman in the harem dares to bring soup. He usually eats by himself without taste, so his food is naturally tasteless. There used to be more.

What's more, the affairs in South Vietnam have not been resolved yet, and he has too many things to worry about, and he cannot sleep for long every day. It is now that he shows his tiredness when he is around her.

Ye Zhen knew that he must have a lot of troubles in the palace. She wanted to ask him, but she knew that he would not tell her the truth in order to stop herself from worrying.

"Do you want to go to court early tomorrow?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.

"No need." Mo Rongzhan hugged her tightly and almost fell asleep.

Ye Zhen said, "Then have breakfast with me tomorrow morning and then go back."

"good."

…

…

South Vietnam.

Murong Ke and Murong Yi came down from the dock and got on the carriage in the dim light.

"I didn't expect that the prosperity of this land in South Vietnam is as prosperous as Kyoto. I used to hear that this place is barren. After coming here for so many days, I really can't see where it is barren." Merongyi looked at the dock on Biwan, and it was difficult for him to say On the first day he arrived in South Vietnam, he thought that even if it was close to the sea, even if the court agreed that South Vietnam was eligible for trade, and even if it could go to sea to do business, it wouldn't be as prosperous as this.

What a surprise.

"If you have been to Jinkou City, you will find that this place is on par with Jinkou City." Murong Ke said in a low voice. He had seen the prosperity of Jinkou City's import and export business. Jinguo has been able to support it for many years, and is comparable to Jinkou City. It has a lot to do with it.

When did South Vietnam develop to this point? The court actually knew nothing.

Merongyi frowned and said, "But over the years, the tax revenue that South Vietnam has paid to the court is less than half of that of Jinkou City. According to the situation in South Vietnam, their tax money will definitely not be lower than that of Jinkou City. Where has all that money gone? ?”

"Yes, where did the money go?" Murong Ke sneered. Either the merchants here did not pay all the tax money, or someone paid the tax money but did not pay it to the national treasury. These two possibilities, no matter where they are. One kind, all of which are fatal.

"Brother Six, the water here in South Vietnam is very deep." Mo Rongyi whispered. They had been here for a few days and had recovered part of the money. However, he also saw that those who owed money were delaying. People kept inviting him and Sixth Brother to banquets every day, and their words were very flattering. They wouldn't think that by pleasing him and Sixth Brother, they wouldn't have to pay back the money they owed, right?

Murong Ke said quietly, "Now we have only recovered 30 million taels, which is still a lot short. Tomorrow we will stay behind closed doors and wait for those people to take the initiative to send the money."

Merongyi had already seen Murong Ke's way of talking to those people. The sixth brother who seemed to get along well with him on weekdays, but when he changed his attitude, it really made people... feel scared from the bottom of his heart. He didn't seem to understand this sixth brother very well. ah.

"Okay." Mo Rongyi nodded and looked up at Murong Ke.

Back at the inn where they lived, Murong Ke had just gotten out of the car when someone handed him a secret letter. Seeing the wax seal on it, he knew that the letter was sent from the palace.

Murong Ke opened the letter and took a look at it, his brows furrowed into a frown.

"Brother Six, what's wrong?" Mo Rongyi asked in a low voice.

"The emperor sent Lu Xiangzhi to South Vietnam." Murong Ke whispered.

Merongyi smiled and said, "That's a good thing. Why do you look so sad?"

"It's not that simple..." Murong Ke gave him the letter, "Read it yourself."

"Is there anything more difficult than asking for money?" Mo Rongyi said with a smile, took the letter and read it, the smile on his lips froze, "Did the emperor want us to investigate the cases of the Feng family and the Pan family? "

"The letter didn't make it very clear. Lu Xiangzhi should be arriving soon. It will be clear if you ask him then." Murong Ke said.

Morongyi was right when he said that the water in South Vietnam was deeper than he thought.
