Chapter 244
What a six-nation split! TXT download! Feng, Mo, Yu and Zhen Kingdom are not next to each other at all. They are either separated by Huan Kingdom or An Kingdom. Feng Kingdom in the north and Zhen Kingdom in the southwest are even further away. Even if they are assigned territories, how can they get there? What about management?
Lingshuang clenched her fists. It was only now that she understood Xiao Xuan's intention. The reason why he found Feng, Mo and Yu was because he wanted them to do free work, and An and Huan were afraid of Sichuan. , you don’t need to guess to know that after the destruction of Zhen, the one who took advantage the most was the Sichuan Kingdom.
Xiao Xuan wanted to annex Zhenguo, but he didn't dare to say it outright, so he pulled the other five countries to join him. He also found a justifiable and impeccable excuse to fight against the emperor's rebellion and support the path of justice.
In the battle to destroy Zhen, the losses were shared equally among the six countries, and the Sichuan country had the final advantage. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Ling Shuang's face became more and more ugly, her little hands under the table were clenched tighter and tighter, and her joints gradually turned white due to excessive exertion.
Tang Yin, who was sitting next to her, saw her reaction, and he could understand it. He couldn't stand Xiao Xuan, who was gentle on the surface but full of calculations, but it was not wise to openly fall out with Xiao Xuan now.
He quietly reached out his hand and wrapped Lingshuang's little fist.
The latter was startled and turned to look at him in surprise. Tang Yin was sitting there, calm and still with a vague smile on his face. But under the table, he secretly opened her fingers and quickly wrote two words on her palm: learn from me.
Lingshuang is also an extremely smart girl. She understands Tang Yin's meaning immediately. She took a deep breath, suppressed the annoyance in her heart, and held back.
Tang Yin and Ling Shuang could pretend to be dumb, but Shao Fang couldn't stand it. He suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Brother Wang Xiao, my country, Mo, is thousands of miles away from Zhenguo. Even if I get the territory of Zhenguo, how can brother Wang want me to govern it?"
Xiao Xuan had already thought of the wording and said with a smile: "Brother Shao doesn't have to worry about this. If the Mo Kingdom cannot manage the divided Zhen Kingdom territory because it is located in the north, the Sichuan Kingdom can manage it on its behalf. The annual tax, food and , Sichuan country does not take any penny or grain, and sends them all to Mo country. What do you think, Prince Shao?"
"This..." If this is the case, it is acceptable. Shao Fang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Wang should think carefully and just do what Brother Wang wants!"
Xiao Xuan then said to Tang Yin and Lingshuang: "Of course, the Feng and Yu Kingdoms are the same as the Mo Kingdom. After the destruction of Zhen, the divided territory will be temporarily managed by our Sichuan Kingdom, and taxes and food will be sent to your two countries respectively. …”
This time, before he could finish speaking, Tang Yin waved his hand and said, "I think what Brother Xiao Wang means is inappropriate."
Hearing this, everyone frowned and secretly dumbfounded, Tang Yin was so brave, he dared to openly contradict King Sichuan.
He continued: "For the sake of the emperor, we, the Feng Kingdom, do not ask for anything in return. As for the division of territory, Lie Gong does not need to consider the Feng Kingdom. We, the Feng Kingdom, will automatically abstain. The territory that should have been allocated to the Feng Kingdom will be divided by Lie Gong. Bar!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present opened their mouths unconsciously. Even Xiao Xuan did not expect that Tang Yin would give up dividing Zhenguo's territory. This was incredible. How could Tang Yin be so generous?
Lingshuang, who was on the same side as Tang Yin, was also puzzled. King Sichuan's conditions were good. Sichuan would manage the divided territory on his behalf, and return taxes and grain production every year. This was also a considerable amount of income!
Although Tang Yin has never been to Zhenguo, he knows a little about the situation in Zhenguo. Zhenguo is vast and sparsely populated, and it is mostly barren land. There are no bullshit taxes and grain production. Furthermore, Sichuan State has to manage the land on its behalf. Land, it is extremely easy to fake it. Although it sounds nice to say that no penny or grain is collected, in fact, the amount of tax revenue and grain production of the allocated land are not all based on the words of Sichuan State? He can give you as much as he wants. When Xiao Xuan no longer wants to give you a penny in the future, what can you do to him?
Rather than being controlled by others, it is better to be more generous and not divide the land at all, and take the opportunity to strive for maximum benefits from other aspects.
Xiao Xuan didn't know what Tang Yin was planning, so he asked suspiciously: "Brother Tang Wang, are you really not planning to get the land of Zhenguo?"
"That's right!" Tang Yin answered simply.
Hearing his confirmation again, the confusion on Xiao Xuan's face was gradually replaced by a smile. Just as he was about to speak, Tang Yin continued: "Of course, we, the Feng Kingdom, cannot send troops in vain, waste food and wages, increase casualties, and engage in loss-making business. The Feng Kingdom gave up its fiefdom on the condition that everything captured by the Feng Army in the war against Zhen would belong to the Feng Kingdom, and everything captured by the other countries would be taken out and divided equally with the Feng Kingdom. "
After hearing this, Xiao Xuan and others felt dumbfounded. They didn't know whether to say that Tang Yin was pretending to be smart or to scold him for being stupid.
No matter how much loot is captured, it must have a certain amount, but this is not the case with land division. It can produce money and grain year after year, which can make the country profitable for many years. How can it be captured in World War I? Can the mere trophies be compared?
This is obviously a deal that will bring losses to the Feng Kingdom. Now that it is proposed by Tang Yin himself, no one will object. The kings looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement: "We fully accept Brother Tang's proposal, and we will follow Brother Tang's wishes." Do it, Feng Kingdom doesn’t want to divide the land, we will share the spoils equally with Feng Kingdom!”
Tang Yin cupped his hands with a smile and said, "Thank you, Brother Li Wang, for taking care of me!" While speaking, he quietly kicked Ling Shuang's feet under the table to remind her not to forget what he had just reminded her.
It was obviously a loss, but Tang Yin decided to do this. Lingshuang couldn't understand what he was thinking. But is Tang Yin stupid? Of course not, and on the contrary, when he is smart, he is smarter than a ghost, and he will not do anything that will cost him money.
Relying on her understanding of Tang Yin and her unspeakable trust, Lingshuang said to the kings in a confused manner: "My country, the Jade Kingdom, also chose to be like the Feng Kingdom, giving up the land and only wanted the spoils."
have to! Here comes another fool! It is true that birds of a feather flock together and people flock together. Tang Yin and Ling Shuang are a match made in heaven.
At this time, even Xiao Xuan, who was so calm, burst out laughing, nodded and said, "Okay, as Sister Ling Wang wished! Since both Feng and Yu have given up their land allocation, then after Zhen is destroyed, Zhen's territory will be Of course, for the sake of fairness, all the spoils captured by the Feng and Yu armies belong to the two countries. The spoils of the other four countries are divided equally with the Feng and Yu armies. Any objections?"
"No!"
"Yes! That's it!"
All the kings had no objections, and the matter was settled. Subsequently, the six kings discussed the details of the battle to destroy Zhen, including the time for each country to send troops, the number of troops to send, the legions to be dispatched, and the logistics, food, and baggage supplies, etc.
Time passed quickly, and by the time everyone had settled on the big details, the sky was already dark. Seeing that all the kings were tired, Yue Ze immediately invited everyone to take a seat in the main hall of the palace, and everyone had a drink together.
In the main hall, a banquet has already been arranged. The main seat in the middle was the emperor's throne, and no one dared to sit on it. The kings took their seats on both sides, and the ministers they brought with them lined up in a row.
The atmosphere of the banquet was lively, and even Shao Fang, who had been in a bad mood recently, enjoyed eating and drinking.
Although Tang Yin split the five counties of his country of Mo, he suffered a big loss in the extermination of Zhen. He pulled the country of Jade to give up the land division, which was an advantage to the four countries of Mo, Sichuan, An, and Huan.
The vast Zhen Kingdom has a total of 21 counties, which are divided equally among the four countries. At least five counties can be divided. The five counties that were split off from the Mo Kingdom were made up at once. How could Shao Fang not be excited? Obtaining the five counties of Zhenguo will make Mo country more powerful. It will not be difficult to recapture the five divided counties in one go once they have enough troops. By then, it will be time for Mo country to fight back against Feng country. Shao Fang silently calculated in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more proud he became, and the smile on his face deepened.
The banquet went smoothly, and the kings chatted and laughed while eating wine and food. When most of the food and wine were eaten, Yue Ze clapped his hands and called the dancer who had been arranged to dance for the kings.
Anguo's wealth is well-known among other countries. Even the dancers wear gold and silver and are elegantly dressed. In addition, they are all selected young girls. They dance in the hall and everyone is mesmerized. drunk.
When the dance ended, Yue Ze clapped his hands again, and the dancers scattered automatically and consciously, and threw themselves into the arms of the kings one after another.
Tang Yin didn't like strangers getting close, especially in Anguo. He had to be careful at all times. When two dancers came towards him from the left and right, Tang Yin waved his arms and pushed them both away.
The two women looked at him in surprise, and the smile on Yue Ze's face froze for an instant. He was very puzzled, but he did not dare to reprimand Tang Yin. He pointed at the two women and asked: "How did these two cheap maids offend His Highness Feng Wang?" ?”
The two women turned pale with fright and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
Tang Yinze smiled leisurely and said to Yue Ze, "Brother Yue Wang has misunderstood. They are very good."
"Then why, Prince Tang..."
"With your wife here, how can I dare to hug her?" Tang Yin glanced at the Lingshuang at his hand while speaking. Sometimes he had to admit that Lingshuang could really prevent him from a lot of troubles.
If he didn't mention it himself, people would almost forget that he and Ling Shuang had already become husband and wife. Yue Ze also suddenly realized and patted his round head, laughed loudly and said: "Oh, this is my negligence, sin, sin!" As he spoke, he smiled at Ling Shuang again and said: "Sister Ling Wang , please don’t be offended if I make some poor arrangements!”
Lingshuang forced a smile and said, "How could that be! Brother Yue Wang is too polite." While speaking, she did not forget to glare at Tang Yin secretly, warning him not to blame everything on her.
