Quick Wear: After being conquered by the male protagonist, he said I was sick

Chapter 688: Marriage with the Prince (26)

The territory of Xiling is not good. If you surrender, you will not only have to spend money and energy to govern it, but also have to pay for food.

Xiao Du looked at this group of people. Not to mention the big ones, even the skinny women alone could do half a sheep.

Both financial and material resources are considerable expenses.

Da Yan has a lot of work to do. The money it earns is not enough for the national treasury to spend. How can it support such a useless country...

Speaking of money, Jiang Que, who was eating, suddenly had an idea. He pulled Xiao Du's sleeve and signaled him to find Helan Lian with his eyes.

Among the powerful countries today, Feng Yin ranks first.

Countries exchange money every year, just hoping to maintain peace.

Jiang Que's fiefdom Linchuan was a strategically located fortress. Merchants traveling by water had to undergo routine inspections when transporting goods through customs. The customs duty was 20% higher than the normal customs duty, and Jiang Que embezzled a lot of money.

Those officials of Feng Yin are more corrupt than each other and are all very rich.

Helan Lian already has enough headaches, and one more won’t make much difference if he gets one more.

Xiao Du thought about Jiang Que's idea and felt that it was a brilliant plan.

Not only can this hot potato be gotten rid of, but it can also consume Feng Yin's financial resources and buy time for Dayan.

Just ...

"He is your brother after all, why are you trying to trick him like this?"

Jiang Que glanced at the banner that just hung the body of his brother Xiao Du, and said seriously: "The disputes among the princes have always been like this."

After saying this, he accidentally revealed the light scar on his arm that had not yet healed, and there was disappointment in his eyes: "Father had arranged the marriage for you before. If I hadn't forced you to do it, you wouldn't have chosen me. After all, you came later, and I can't compare to the feelings you have had in the battlefield for many years. Now I am just a prisoner who has a home but cannot return. If you feel sorry for him, just pretend I didn't say anything and deduct the money from the return of Xiling from my account."

Jiang Que gazed into the distance, and even his back showed sadness.

Xiao Du, who was sitting next to him: "..."

If you put down the unfinished leg of lamb in your hand, I might be really touched.

Xiao Du was speechless.

Take out your handkerchief and wipe his hands.

Jiang Que turned around and looked at him with lowered eyebrows.

Finally, Xiao Du said something, and a smile appeared in the man's eyes. He put the lamb leg back on the table and stretched out his other hand to wipe it for Xiao Du.

The empress was stunned by the speed of his expression changing.

We were far away and I couldn't hear what they were saying.

But the empress gave them time to think.

Given the current situation between countries, Feng Yin is undoubtedly the best choice.

But Fengyin's current ruler is Helan Lian, who himself has internal and external troubles, and they have no intersection, so the empress does not believe him.

Xiao Du is still more reliable.

Revenge is necessary, not to mention...

The empress's eyes fell on the man next to Xiao Du and she curled her lips secretly.

King of Linchuan.

She had seen him several times before when he went to Fengyin to buy supplies.

He is a sinister person with cruel methods. Feng Yin relies on him to make huge fortunes and win battles year after year to achieve today's prosperity.

People all say that Helan Lian loves the people and is a modest gentleman who is as gentle as jade.

But if there were no bad guys, where would his good reputation come from?

He and Xiao Du, one good and one evil, can make the country more prosperous than an absolute goody-goody.

If they disagree.

She mobilized the entire country to attack Dayan, but Dayan now cannot withstand another war.

Even if she fails to capture Xiling, she can consume most of her troops. By then, the precarious Great Yan will be divided up by other countries.

……

Nothing came of the banquet.

The empress arranged for them to live in the palace.

The empress sent people to carry the body of Emperor Xiao Du's brother to their room, leaving it to him to deal with as he pleased.

The person is dead. What's the point of him having a corpse? It would be disgusting if he puts it in the room.

Xiao Du was still thinking about how to deal with it.

This thing won't last long. It's okay in the cold weather in Xiling, but once you leave the territory of Xiling...

How come this person still disgusts him even after his death?

Xiao Du didn't think of a good solution.

Jiang Que patted the coffin and suggested with a smile: "Why don't we feed it to those man-eating guys in Xiling? Then we can kill them. This will not only vent our anger, but also help Xiling get rid of the trouble. The Queen of Xiling won't say anything."

This plan...

Xiao Du raised his eyes to look at him, they looked at each other and suddenly laughed.

Command Jiang Que: "You go and dispose of the body, I will avenge my brother."

Jiang Que: “…”
