Chapter 606: Poor Country Rich Minister


Cheng Qianxun was really pissed off by these teammates: "That's because you are stronger.

What if we change positions and you are me?"

Rudolf said almost coldly: "There is nothing to do.

It is a miracle that a country with such strength and a king who cannot fight alone can exist."

Sneijder grinned evilly: "Thankfully, God sent a queen.

God Anu is still very wise."

Seeing her teammates smiling maliciously, Cheng Qianxun also knew that she had to rely on the sidelines to save her country.

Rudolf is right, does she have what it takes to ask?

With helplessness, she could only compromise: "Okay, half a year, half a year, I will find a way."

"Let's see what you will come up with.

Anyway, let's put my ugly words ahead.

If you don't choose me, I will be very angry."

Gordon said angrily what everyone was thinking.

"Me too."

Other teammates also said directly or expressed it with their expressions.

They all told her that if she didn't choose them, she would be finished with Ekash.

Cheng Qianxun pretended to sigh, but in fact he was already laughing in his heart.

Half a year, haha ​​half a year, as long as we can hold them back for enough time, victory is possible.

I was finally able to sleep well at night.

I heard that there were two of them and I started preparing to set a time to go back.

After all, there is still half a year left, so we can’t leave our country behind and operate it remotely.

Come back in half a year and hear the results directly then.

When I woke up, it was already noon.

Cheng Qianxun stood up, and the maid brought a basin and a small bowl of rice cereal to satisfy her hunger.

She also said that Lagasi had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Ask him to come in and drink rice cereal.

Ragassi did not kneel down after entering.

Cheng Qianxun said: "No need to kneel, come and sit next to me, what's the matter?"

Lagasi said with some excitement: "I heard that the Queen has made an agreement with the other four kings to announce the results of the selection in half a year."

"The information is pretty good, yes."

Cheng Qianxun glanced at him sideways.

There was rice cereal in his mouth and he was still smiling.

Thinking of this makes me feel relaxed and refreshed.

"It's a good thing."

But Ragassi became worried again: "But when the time comes, what will the Queen plan to choose?"

"God will tell me."

Cheng Qianxun picked up the bowl, drank all the rice cereal, put down the bowl and comforted: "Don't worry, you still can't trust me?"

All four kings plan to return home.

Especially Regel, whose foundation is not stable at present, and he wants to go back.

Before leaving, it is natural to say goodbye and say some words of thanks to the host for their warm hospitality.

Each one of them also deliberately staggered.

Cheng Qianxun also had only one farewell.

The result was heard. . .

"I hope the Queen will choose me.

After all, Uruna is the richest and has the strongest backing."

Rudolph was absolutely firm when he spoke, like an order.

And Gordon was also direct: "If you dare not choose me, I will send troops.

Urs's sword is famous for its toughness and sharpness."

Sneijder's tone finally slowed down a lot: "Nippur has the most food.

The queen had better notify me at least one month in advance.

I will send troops to station in Ekash with food.

With the city wall of Ekash, I have the strength of the troops.

Even if the three of them join forces, they can't defeat it.

And I can also ask to fight alone, and the queen has seen that the three of them are actually sheep in wolf's clothing."

"Hehe, hehehe."

Cheng Qianxun could only deal with it.

Sheep in wolf's clothing, they looked like wolves even in sheep's clothing.

But Sneijder is right.

As long as there are enough troops and food, there is no problem in holding off for seventeen or eight days.

Regal is here.

He held her hand as soon as he came, and he was so serious that it gave her a headache: "Queen, you must choose me.

Don't say that I have the most troops.

The most important thing is that if you don't have feelings for me, why should you help me ascend to the throne in danger?"

I will repay you twice as much as you have helped me.

I really like you, and I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you.

I will go back and recruit more troops, and I will drive them all out when I come back."

After saying that, he hugged her and held her feet off the ground.

Reger lowered his head and kissed her hard on the cheek, then let go and walked away happily.

Being caught off guard, Cheng Qianxun wiped his wet cheeks with the back of his hand and watched the unusually tall figure of Regel leave with a wry smile.

Lagasi came back.

After sitting down, he said with relief to Cheng Qianxun who was leaning on the cushion: "Everyone is back."

"Everyone has gone back."

Cheng Qianxun felt very tired, but the news still made her full of joy.

Oh my god, I finally went back, I went back.

During these ten days, every day felt like a year to her, and almost every day there were times when she was driven crazy by these teammates.

Even though she was too tired to open her eyes, she still couldn't help but smile.

By the way, there is something else.

She opened her eyes and asked: "What did you give to the four kings?

It's more or less meaningful."

"Sent" Lagasi replied: "Every king gave the same thing.

A roasted whole lamb for them and their men to eat on the way.

They also sent twenty soldiers each to escort them to the border.

There was also a Please forgive me, Queen."

Lagasi has always done a good job, Cheng Qianxun immediately agreed: "It's okay, just tell me, I forgive you."

Lagasi said softly: "Each king gave me a small item, which the queen always uses.

There are combs, hairpins, belts, and handkerchiefs."

Cheng Qianxun was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "No wonder these things were changed today.

It turns out you gave them all away.

Okay, as long as they want them and they don't get angry."

"They were all very happy to take it."

Lagashi immediately stood up and excused himself: "The queen has been tired for so many days, please rest first."

"Yes."

Cheng Qianxun closed his eyes and said leisurely: "You should also go and rest.

I will send someone to call you tomorrow if something happens."

"Yes, Queen."

Lagasi's footsteps could not be heard as he walked out.

Now she had to go to court early.

In the past, either the country was under siege or other kings were in the palace.

She would sleep whenever she could every day, and would only get up lazily at noon.

Now that the king is gone, the city gate is wide open, and there is not a single enemy soldier outside the gate, it is time to go to court early.

The day's plan begins in the morning.

Cheng Qianxun yawns and sits on the mat.

Below is a group of ministers who stood on the mat and kowtowed to her after entering the palace.

Finished kneeling.

They sat down on the spot and sat on the mat.

"Tell me what you have to say, but keep it simple and stop rambling."

Cheng Qianxun leaned on the thick cushion, and she didn't care whether Wang needed to be upright and dignified.

Anyway, sit however you feel comfortable.

The finance minister then said: "The treasury is out of money.

Please ask the queen to tax again.

I have come up with a tax specifically to collect the queen's wedding expenses."

Cheng Qianxun had long been dissatisfied with this minister.

She looked at her fingernails: "How much is the total tax now?

If you add it all up, what is the approximate proportion of your income?

In other words, if you earn ten silver coins, you need How much tax to pay?”

The finance minister quickly answered: "It's 70%."

"Qi Cheng" Cheng Qianxun sneered and shouted: "Who here can tell me who has the biggest house in the city and the richest one?"

The Chancellor of the Exchequer said respectfully: "Of course it's you, the Queen."

Cheng Qianxun stood up, walked to the sand table and looked at it carefully: "Is the proportion of this sand table correct?"

The old minister nodded at the front: "Yes."

Cheng Qianxun then pointed: "This is where I live.

Well, it's quite big.

There are twelve rooms in the main hall plus the side hall.

Next to it is the temple, which is also quite big.

The goddess temple is certainly good.

So this is Whose?”

When the old minister saw it, his expression immediately changed: "Queen, this is my home.

But it is all passed down by my father, and it looks nice.

In fact, most of the walls in the house are broken.

I will repair one if I have money. , If you have money, you can repair it a little bit.

If you don’t believe it, the Queen will come and have a look at my house.”

Cheng Qianxun looked at the others, who all nodded, while Lagasi, who was sitting at the end, nodded secretly.

"What about this building?"

She pointed her finger in another direction.

"Yes, it's mine."

The finance minister wiped his sweat and said, "This is also passed down from my father."

Cheng Qianxun sat back.

Then he changed the topic: "I want to save food.

Can anyone tell me.

It's enough food for 7,000 people for a month.

Use money to buy it.

How much does it cost?

There will be prizes for the fastest."

The old minister, the finance minister, and Ragassi shouted almost simultaneously.

Although the number varies, it is approximately 20,000 silver coins.

Twenty thousand silver coins is approximately the entire country's annual fiscal revenue.

Cheng Qianxun smiled and said: "They are also ministers, and they are also inherited from the ancestors.

But obviously some people have a lot of money, and their wives have more than 20 pieces of clothes.

I have also heard many things, such as using goat milk to wash their faces, and female slaves.

There were more than 20 people building houses within five days of the city gate being opened.

It was said that they were to be used as granaries, and grains were shipped to fill one house and another with barley. " After all these words, the fat-minded Finance Minister sweated even more on his forehead.

Looking at the finance minister wiping sweat with his belt, Cheng Qianxun continued to teach with a smile: "Why, I am so poor as the queen, but he is so rich.

Shouldn't we check carefully?"

The old minister gloated: "Yes, you must check it carefully.

Unless you are in the grain business, how could there be so much grain and so much money?"

"Yes."

She turned to regret again: "But right now I have more important things.

How to raise 20,000 silver coins to buy food and save it.

Should I check first or buy food first?"

"Of course, food is important."

The finance minister stammered: "If we are besieged again, we will have nothing to eat."

"Well, yes."

Cheng Qianxun nodded seriously: "You're right, but food needs money, and I don't have money.

If I have money and buy food, why should I go to such trouble?

Check, go get some money."

The finance minister always understood, and he said cruelly: "It is my fault that the queen is worried about food.

I will find a way to get food."

Cheng Qianxun was amused: "Seven thousand people are enough to feed a month."

He gritted his teeth and said bravely, "Yes, seven thousand people can feed us for a month."

"Hey, this is the right thing.

A good minister is one who shares your worries with you."

Cheng Qianxun smiled and patted his thigh, pointing his finger and said: "Don't disturb the people.

The tax has been increased by 70%, which is too much.

From today on, The tax is reduced to 30%, and merchants from other regions who come here to do business will only be charged 10% tax.

If the tax is large, the army will send them to the border
