The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 320 Competing to Give Himself Money
Chapter 320 Competing to Give Himself Money
Hearing the false politeness of the ministers of the aristocratic families present, Bai Jingyi nodded indifferently and said, "It's just a little effort!"

Listening to what Bai Jingyi said as if nothing had happened, it seemed that it was really an insignificant matter to him.

But the ministers of the aristocratic families present knew that they must not be fooled by Bai Jingyi's performance.

At the beginning, several aristocratic families paid so much money and food in exchange for Bai Jingyi's support.

Now, if he gets carried away for the sake of immediate benefits, he may completely break his relationship with the King of Beiliang.

These ministers hurriedly bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "Beiliang King's kindness, I will remember it in my heart!"

"That's right! As long as the King of Beiliang needs our help, we will definitely do it!"

"As long as my family can help the King of Beiliang, please feel free to speak up."

The ministers of these aristocratic families were showing their favor to Bai Jingyi one by one, although they didn't get much benefit, nor did they get much reward.

But their contribution still cannot be reduced, and on the contrary they have to double their contribution.

After all, no one knows what kind of benefits they will get in the future.

In short, it is right to maintain the relationship between the family and the King of Beiliang.

Listening to the sincere words of these family ministers.

Bai Jingyi smiled lightly and said, "I did encounter some problems in Liangzhou!"

Wang Gui took the lead and said, "Could it be because of these scholars?"

"No and no! This trivial matter is nothing to worry about, but there are bigger problems!" Bai Jingyi said with a sad face.

And the ministers of the aristocratic families present, seeing Bai Jingyi's expression, immediately believed his words.

Moreover, the ministers of these aristocratic families were even more thinking about it.

"The King of Beiliang said that these scholars are worthless! Then these scholars may really be unimportant!"

"If this matter is not important, then even if Li Chengqian completes the test set by the King of Beiliang, it will be of no use at all!"

"You don't have to worry too much about yourself and others! It's even better to just let it develop on its own!"

"What's more, the reason why those princes and ministers let their heirs follow the prince!"

"It must be to have a chance to get close to the King of Beiliang!"

"After all, before Bai Jingyi was crowned king, these princes and ministers gathered together to entertain the King of Beiliang, hoping to let their sons join Liangzhou!"

"In the end, these ministers did not get what they wanted! So this opportunity is not an opportunity for the crown prince to win over the ministers, but these ministers want to take this opportunity to get close to the King of Beiliang!"

When thinking of this, the ministers of the aristocratic family immediately relaxed a lot, so they didn't take this matter to heart.

They bowed to Bai Jingyi and asked, "I don't know what kind of problem the King of Beiliang has encountered?"

"As long as we and other aristocratic families can help the King of Beiliang resolve this matter, then there must be no excuses!"

"That's right, if we can help the King of Beiliang, then we will have nothing to say!"

Hearing the sincere words of these family ministers, Bai Jingyi suppressed the smile in his heart and thought: "Since you are the one who rushed to help me, then you can't blame me!"

Immediately, Bai Jingyi said slowly, "Right now, there is no shortage of food in Liangzhou!"

"But the people have no money at all! How will they live in the future!?"

"I can't go door to door and give them a consistent amount of copper coins. If so, wouldn't the people in Liangzhou be more likely to starve to death?"

"What's more, my Liangzhou has only recovered a little bit now!"

"There is still a large area of ​​ruins that haven't been remodeled yet, and after the New Year's Eve, it's spring plowing season again!"

"If you want to cultivate the land, you can't restore the houses in Liangzhou, and if you want to restore the houses, you can't cultivate the land!"

When talking about this, Bai Jingyi deliberately paused, and said with a little embarrassment: "And the reason why my house in Liangzhou has been turned into ruins!"

"It was because of my original plan to burn Liangzhou and cut off the Turkic support!"

"So I still feel guilty to this day, and want to restore the original home for the people of Liangzhou!"

After hearing this, all the ministers of the aristocratic families present were in trouble.

This is not a simple problem, it is clearly a huge problem.

If it is on weekdays, they will never pay attention to it.

After all, this is simply a bottomless pit. Even if you add up all the backgrounds of several aristocratic families, it may not be able to restore Liangzhou to its original state.

Not to mention letting the people of Liangzhou live and work in peace and contentment, with spare money to live on.

Ministers of aristocratic families, look at me, and I look at you, but you can't say a word.

After all, this is not a problem that can be solved by a few thousand taels of gold, nor can it be appeased by tens of thousands of stones of grain...

Bai Jingyi looked at the silent family ministers in front of him, and sneered in his heart.

At the same time, I thought in my heart: "I'm afraid these people have already been frightened!"

"Such a big project, even with the background of all their aristocratic families, there is no way to do it!"

"Heh! I keep saying that I will help myself with all my strength, but now the slap in the face is really too fast, and they are caught off guard!"

But these people can't help it, it doesn't mean they can't do it either.

Immediately, Bai Jingyi waved his hand lightly and said: "Now this king has sold all the things that can be sold, and exchanged them for copper coins!"

"But I still lack some shops to sell Liangzhou specialties!"

In order to avoid embarrassment, Bai Jingyi could only give them some hints.

Remind these people to either pay or provide themselves with a store.

And the ministers of several aristocratic families present were not stupid.

They hurriedly bowed to Bai Jingyi and said, "If the King of Beiliang doesn't mind, just take the shops in Xifang City!"

"At the same time, when the official returns, he will explain to the Patriarch that he will send 300 million Wen and copper coins to the King of Beiliang!"

The reason why shops and money are given away is because Western-style shops belong to poor areas, and the shops are not worth a lot of money.

But for Bai Jingyi, this is enough.

After all, most of the rich people in the world gather in Chang'an City, and a few gather in Luoyang and several other counties.

Moreover, just selling the woolen sweaters produced in Liangzhou in Chang'an City is enough to collect a lot of money.

At that time, when Liangzhou has money, there will be no shortage of manpower to build houses...

The ministers of several aristocratic families almost all expressed the same idea, and sent a lot of copper coins to the shops at the same time.

Several aristocratic families said on the surface that the copper coins they sent had exceeded 2000 million Wen.

But this is only on the surface after all, after all these people want to win over themselves and want to further their relationship.

So they must secretly send more copper coins than this.

Moreover, the ministers of several aristocratic families also smiled tacitly. After all, the five surnames and Qiwang seemed to be in the same breath, but the internal struggles would never decrease.

Looking at the appearance of these aristocratic ministers in front of him giving him money, Bai Jingyi looked forward to it, how these people would regret it when he showed his butcher knife...

Immediately, Bai Jingyi cupped his hands slightly and said, "My lord would like to thank you all in advance!"

"but…………"
