My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 739 Are You Willing (For All Monthly Passes)

Qi Ya pondered for a while and looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly without any hint of dodge in his eyes.

"As far as I know, it's just a disturbance in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is no plan to attack the government of the imperial court. You have also seen that there are almost no major actions other than intercepting some goods, but I didn't expect some believers in Bingzhou Attacked the defenders of the city without permission!"

"Who is the manipulator behind this matter?"

"The Queen of the Kingdom of Jin, she has supported a lot of weapons to equip the brothers in the sect. The request is very simple, as long as there is some disturbance in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Liu Mingzhi walked to the window with his arms folded and calmed down.

There is almost no difference between Qi Ya's words and Murong Shan's words. They are both instigated by the Queen and benefited from the Queen by the White Lotus Sect to do some small things in the south of the Yangtze River.

To put it bluntly, what do you want to do?
"Do you know the purpose of the Empress of the Kingdom of Jin making you make trouble? Has she ever told you about this?"

Qi Ya pondered for a moment and shook her head slightly: "No, let alone me, even the leader is also very confused why the Queen of the Kingdom of Jin proposed such a deal for no reason! This is no different from giving money for nothing!"

"What does Duke Ming want to do with this tax money? If he really wants to make a fortune these years, with his prestige in the south of the Yangtze River, he will collect a large amount of money by doing whatever he wants! Why haven't he moved on money for several years? It's a trick this year!"

Qi Yun slowly walked to Young Master Liu's side: "Husband, didn't you say last night that Jiangnan's tax revenue this year is about 600 million taels? As far as my concubine knows, the after-tax tax in previous years was barely more than 400 million taels, because Your Majesty The increase in tax revenue by 200 million taels due to the opening up of business has aroused Duke Ming's greed!"

"Impossible. As a husband and an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, I know the way of tax money very well. Although there are 600 million taels of tax money transferred to the national treasury, in order to deal with emergencies, the governor's mansions in various state capitals will leave a part of the tax money for other purposes. , the 600 million taels of silver handed over to the treasury of the Governor's Mansion will not be less than 150 million taels!"

"How come there are so many? If there are 30 million taels of emergency silver in more than 150 prefectures, wouldn't His Majesty be able to easily raise 4000 million taels of silver, and 30 taels for the army to prepare for war is not a problem at all!"

"That's not the way to calculate it. There are many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and naturally there are more taxes. In remote places like Qingzhou, not to mention 150 million taels of silver for emergency, it would be good to have 20 taels of emergency. What kind of things can prevent local merchants from raising prices and affecting the lives of the people, I really don’t know what kind of person Emperor Gaozu is even thinking of this!”

Qi Yun nodded knowingly: "I understand, my husband means that there are very few incidents in the south of the Yangtze River. If Ming Gong really wants to embezzle money, as long as he moves the money in the treasury, no one will know anything!"

"That's right, besides King Huainan, Duke Ming is also the governor of the south of the Yangtze River. It's not a problem at all if he wants to use some money from the treasury. There's no need to take risks at all!"

Qi Yun looked at Qi Ya quietly: "Sister, do you know what Duke Ming wants to use the money for?"

Qi Ya shook his head again: "I don't know, although the envoys are the envoys of the White Lotus Sect in name, they have always been wary of each other with the leader. They are just using each other. The leader guessed that the envoys prepared the silver for other uses by the red dragon. !"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Ya with a sullen face: "Does Master Bailian know the identity of Red Dragon?"

"I don't know. The two of them talked about this in private that day. The leader asked about the identity of the red dragon, but was covered up by the envoy! The leader is also very curious about who the red dragon is that the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin can also value." !"

Liu Mingzhi was a little surprised and uncertain.

If Honglong is really the person he guessed in his heart, he would be damned if he silently accumulated so much silver.

As Zhang Kuang said, 600 million taels can feed an army of 10 people, even if the Red Dragon and the White Lotus Sect split the tax equally, there would still be as much as 300 million taels.

The 5-strong army is also not to be underestimated.

You must know that there are only 5 soldiers in each of the six guards in northern Xinjiang.

Who can guarantee that the Red Dragon only has 300 million taels of silver? Li Yugang has admitted it himself. After ten years of operation in Jiangnan, who can predict how rich the family can accumulate in ten years!
"My God, if it's really him, I'm afraid it won't be long before the world changes hands. The key is that your majesty hasn't got any news?"

"Sir, what are you talking about?"

Liu Mingzhi took a deep breath: "Lady, you go out first, I have something to talk to sister Ya about as a husband, and tell the people in the house not to allow anyone to step in without my order!"

Qi Yun looked at Liu Mingzhi worriedly: "My husband, I am a concubine"

"Don't worry, as long as Sister Ya turns around and promises her husband that nothing will happen to Sister Ya!"

Full of worry, Qi Yun turned her head and left the room frequently, secretly begging her sister not to make the same mistake again and again!
After Qi Yun left, Qi Ya calmed down and looked at Liu Mingzhi calmly: "What are you going to do with me?"

Liu Mingzhi sat back on the chair again: "Sister Ya, I've made it very clear just now, it's not how I deal with you, but how you plan to choose? If you plan to go all the way to Hei, brother, even if you want to help you I can't help you, you have to know that I have brought a whole [-] troops, with so many eyes and ears, even if I want to cover it up, it's impossible!"

Qi Ya became silent, did not say a word for an unknown amount of time, Liu Mingzhi drank cup after cup of tea and waited quietly without the slightest sign of impatience.

"I want to give myself justice. It is better to die cleanly than to live humiliated!"

Liu Mingzhi looked at Qi Ya with a calm expression in astonishment: "Do you know what Yun'er would think if she knew that you chose this path? Sister Ya, wake up, if the White Lotus Sect can really investigate the past for you The truth about the third prince will not be delayed for so long, the leader of Bailian just took a fancy to your kung fu, don't be stupid, he is really using you!"

Qi Ya looked at Liu Mingzhi quietly: "Can you clear me up?"

Liu Mingzhi was silent. He had asked Song Yu about this matter in private, and Song Yu sternly warned him not to get involved in this matter, otherwise he would not be able to keep his status as a celebrity in front of the emperor. In addition, he wanted to stay in the capital I'm afraid it's even more impossible.

I am not afraid of being dismissed from office, but I have offended so many people now, what should I do if I lose my official position?
Everyone in the family is tied to himself.

Qi Ya looked at Liu Mingzhi without the slightest hint of blame.

Sitting in front of the mirror again and dressing up, the tear-wet makeup regained its roughness and became alluring again.

Qi Ya got up and took out a bundle from under the pillow on the bed and put it on the table.

Under Liu Mingzhi's puzzled gaze, Qi Ya closed the window and pulled the latch, and then came back and opened the package in front of Liu Mingzhi.

Liu Mingzhi took advantage of the situation to look and see Feng Guanxia in the bundle, a little puzzled.

Qi Ya smiled lightly and untied the ribbon around her waist, and put on a phoenix coronet and Xiapei in Liu Mingzhi's dumbfounded eyes, wearing only flimsy obscene clothes and trousers.

Qi Ya lit the two wedding candles in the bundle with a torch, and placed them on the table.

With the crackling sound of burning red candles, Qi Ya picked up a dragon and phoenix hijab embroidered with tassels and put it in Young Master Liu's hands.

Under Liu Mingzhi's puzzled gaze, Qi Ya poured two cups of tea and pushed them in front of First Young Master Liu.

"This is my re-sewn wedding dress. Before I die, I want to truly get married once and fulfill a woman's best wish in her life!"

"I?"

"Will you take off my red hijab?"
