Chapter 1198: The Monarch and the Ministers Conspiracy


After talking about Mansour, Zhao Ziliang asked again: "What do you think about the fact that Dashi Country wants to borrow money from us?"

After the loan incident happened for a while, many ministers already had their own ideas.

When Zhao Ziliang asked, someone immediately stood up.

Deputy Prime Minister Liu Dan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, with the combat power of our army, there is no need to worry about Da Shiguo not paying back the money.

If there is an annual profit, this is a good deal.

However, I am worried that if we The money was lent out, but we couldn’t find the person to repay it in the end, so wouldn’t the loaned money have been wasted?”

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, raised his hand and said, "Speak more clearly."

"Yes."

Liu Dan raised his hand, "Your Majesty, colleagues, Mahdi is not the only one talking about things in Dashi.

If we lend him the money, if he is defeated in the next few years, he will be defeated by his The brother has been killed and another person is in charge of Dashi Country.

Who should we ask for money from?"

Yes, many ministers immediately woke up, and someone stood up on the spot and echoed: "Yes, Your Majesty, the risk of this transaction is too great, we can't do it."

"Yes, this Benoed is here to cheat money.

We must not fall for his deception."

"Please your Majesty, please immediately issue an order to arrest all of Bonod and his entourage and send them to prison."

"This is absolutely a huge scam" "Assholes, these big cannibals are so brave.

They dare to deceive me, Xi Qin.

Arrest them immediately."

Some of the courtiers suddenly became furious, and the entire court was like cold water poured into a pot of boiling oil.

Zhao Ziliang knocked on the imperial desk, and the eunuch next to him immediately said in a harsh voice: "Quiet, quiet, what does the imperial envoy in the palace do for food?"

The ministers immediately closed their mouths when they heard this sound, and the hall that was noisy just now suddenly became silent.

Zhao Ziliang pointed at Dugujun: "Dugujun, please tell me."

Dugujun stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr.

Liu is thinking is not impossible.

The minister thinks that we can discuss with the big cannibal and change the loan to selling."

This statement confused Zhao Ziliang and all the ministers.

Zhao Ziliang asked: "How to change borrowing to selling?"

Dugujun said: "We are careful that Mahdi will be killed by his brothers in the future and fail to repay the loan.

Therefore, there is a great risk in borrowing money, but now there are at least several things that can be sold under his rule, such as land and ore.

Although we There is no ore, but there is a quantity of ore.

The less you dig, the less it will be.

If you can buy it from elsewhere and keep the ore underground for yourself, wouldn’t it be wonderful?

If you can use money to buy a large area of ​​land from the Big Food Country, we will Why go and conquer?"

Someone immediately came back to his senses and said, "Yes, if the problem can be solved with money, why use the army?

As long as we are rich enough, we can buy the entire Big Food Country."

An official stood up and cursed: "Fart, you are a pig!

You have no brains.

Do you think others have no brains?

If you give money and he doesn't give you the goods, what should you do?

You still have to grab the money.

It's okay."

Many things can be solved, but money cannot be everything.

Strength, strength, strength are the key to everything.

If you ask them to sell a piece of land, they may be able to accept it.

If you ask him to sell the entire country, he will not worry about his life and death with the money. flower" "Why are you scolding people?"

The person being scolded was furious.

"That's enough."

Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and said, "We can consider letting them sell land and ore.

So, Hong Xu, take the time to go to the embassy and find out what Bu Nuo De said."

Hong Xu stood up and clasped his fists and agreed: "I obey the decree."

At this time, Prime Minister Dugu Wensu stood up and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, I believe that whether it is borrowed or sold, it will not only have economic benefits for us in Western Qin, but also political benefits.

If we just let Da The economic benefits we get from the land or ore that the food country sells to them The economic benefits are more, but the political benefits are less.

But if we lend money to them, then we in Western Qin are the creditors of the Great Food Country.

We will get relatively less economic benefits, but we will get much more political benefits.

Because we can use this as an excuse to interfere in the internal affairs of the Big Food Country at any time."

"Your Majesty, since we in Western Qin signed an armistice treaty with the Great Shi Country, we can no longer exert influence on the Great Shi Country.

But if we lend money to the Great Shi Country now, then we can use this as a breakthrough to carry out a In order to achieve the purpose of controlling the Big Food Country, we can find agents in the Big Food Country and let our forces penetrate and intervene in the Big Food Country by borrowing money.

In order to ensure the safety of the money we borrowed, let the Big Food Country Guoyi Mining In addition, we can also indirectly or directly control some tribal chiefs, ministers or military generals in Dashi.

If the Mahdi listens to us, we will support him to deal with his brothers.

If he does not If he is obedient, then we will let him step down and replace him with someone who is obedient.

As long as the methods are clever and the control is strong enough, we can even instruct the food country to attack the Eastern Roman Empire.

This is equivalent to having one more thug.

Wouldn't it be wonderful?

" "Interesting."

Zhao Ziliang was somewhat impressed by Dugu Wensu when he heard this.

This old man was able to come up with such an advanced method.

His political talent was indeed extraordinary, and he had grown a lot over the years.

In recent years, Zhao Ziliang has no longer been involved in all military and political affairs in Western Qin.

He only grasps the general direction.

Sometimes he often consults ministers for their opinions and ideas on overall strategy and gives full play to their opinions. their independent initiative to exercise their abilities.

The effect is remarkable.

In the past few years, these ministers have become more motivated to serve as officials, broadened their thinking, and their abilities have been trained and improved accordingly.

This makes Zhao Ziliang very happy.

Zhao Ziliang touched his chin, thought for a while, and said to Dugu Wensao: "Your suggestion seems good.

Let's do this.

After the court is over, you go back and write a specific statement.

After you finish writing, send it to me. ; In addition, Hong Xu, please stay away from Bu Nuo De for the time being and help Dugu Wensu come up with the plan just mentioned.

If I think it is feasible after reading it, the two of you will be responsible for handling it.

Dugu The clerk is the chief, and Hong Xu is the deputy."

The two of them bowed their hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

In the next few days, Bonold was not idle.

He changed from staying in the embassy behind closed doors and began to have frequent contact with officials and ministers in Xinjing.

He visited several courtiers and ministers every day.

Lobbying them to suggest that the Western Qin royal court lend money to the Dashi Kingdom, Bu Nuode's visit to the Western Qin court ministers and officials came openly and openly, and the conversation was not secretive.

Everything was normal.

After the relevant yamen learned about it, they did not stop or warn them.

As long as he did not engage in espionage activities, these yamen would also Too lazy to pay attention to him.

Five days later, Dugu Wensu and Hong Xu came to the Qinzheng Hall of the palace to meet Zhao Ziliang and handed over the written note.

After reading the article, Zhao Ziliang found that some key points in the article were vague and passed over in one stroke, and asked: "Why are the key positions in this article not clear?"

The two looked at each other, and Dugu Wensu raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, and I have to act with caution, so I did not give detailed explanations at key positions.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

If your Majesty wants to know, I can help you clear up your doubts."

"Okay, first question.

The article states that we need to infiltrate our forces into the Big Food Country.

Where should we start and how should we proceed?"

Dugu Wensu replied: "Don't the big food countries want to borrow money?

We can lend it to them, but they must use mines or taxes as collateral.

In this case, we can ask to send a small number of troops to protect the safety of the collateral.

Or officials enter.

If they use mines as collateral, we will ask to send troops to protect them.

If they use tax revenue as collateral, we will send officials to take over the tax collection.

I think they They will not be stupid enough to mortgage their tax revenue to us, because then the tax revenue must first pass through our hands, and the part that needs to be repaid to us every year can be deducted before the rest can be returned to them.

This is a big constraint for the big food country, Mach Di will definitely not do it, so they can only mortgage the mines and land.

We ask to send a small number of troops to protect us.

Protection is just in name.

We will use these troops to protect us in the next things."

"For loans, we can lend them free of charge without interest, but they must agree to a few conditions."

Dugu Wensu spoke in detail for several minutes in a eloquent and ups and downs manner.

He spoke concisely, yet completely understood.

Zhao Ziliang nodded after hearing this, and then asked: "What you just said can only be done within the control of Mahdi.

Our power cannot be extended to the territory controlled by Mahdi's other brothers.

How to solve this problem?"

Dugu asked Su: "Your Majesty, if we want to control the other brothers of Mahdi, we will have to spend several times the financial resources and manpower.

I think this is not worth the gain, and their power is relatively far away, and we are still beyond our reach for the time being.

And in Mahdi's other Several brothers are much worse than him.

We in Xi Qin can support them, but no matter how much we support them, they cannot help Adou.

Mahdi is at least stronger than them.

As long as we control Mahdi, Controlling the entire food country is just around the corner.”

Zhao Ziliang read the memorial again, closed the memorial and said to the two of them: "Okay, I have agreed, so we will handle it as such.

You two will be responsible.

Dugu Wensu usually spends more time on government affairs, so this is This matter will be implemented by Hong Xu and checked by Dugu Wensu, and we will start negotiations with Bu Nuo De on a certain day."

The two of them handed over their hands and agreed: "I will obey the order":
