Hearing this, Yuan Ruan almost spit out: [Tong Er, you... I wanted to control them and prevent the enemy from sacrificing to the heavens. I didn't mean to kill them in advance. This... I think my brother, Prince Yan and Prince Jing will also be reluctant. ]

System: [Alas, Ah Ruan is just too soft-hearted towards humans. ]

The emperor and others looked away with regret.

King Linjiang and King Hengshan felt relieved for no reason. This feeling of releasing and saving was too exciting. They couldn't help but have a good impression of Yuanruan, and even forgot that it was Yuanruan who brought up this topic.

The system continued: [But Ah Ruan doesn't need to worry. The King of Hengshan and the King of Linjiang are not in any danger in the short term. After all, even the King of Xiping has not been controlled by the State of Chu yet.]

King Hengshan and King Linjiang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Yuanruan: [Ah? I'm a little confused.]

System: [It is like this. Chu wants to tear open the gap of splitting Xia from King Xiping, but King Xiping has not been completely deceived. Once King Xiping is deceived, King Xiping will start to plan to save himself, first sacrifice King Hengshan to heaven, and then King Linjiang.]

The expressions of King Hengshan and King Linjiang looked a little ugly.

Prince Linjiang was more loyal. He turned to look at Prince Yan and said in a low voice with a little hope: "Is this... really not ventriloquism?"

The King of Yan looked at the King of Linjiang with sympathy. Everyone knew that these three of them stick together through thick and thin.

But the King of Yan still lowered his voice and broke the other party's fantasy: "Do you think we are stupid?"

King Linjiang stopped talking.

Yuan Ruan took a bite of the milk soup handed to him by the emperor and wondered: [How did the Chu State seduce the King of Xiping into falling for it? ]

System: [Use various means to destroy the economy of King Xiping's fiefdom, and make King Xiping actively collude with the State of Chu. For example, I will tell you a story that you can relate to the most. The fourth prince of the State of Chu planned a real estate market crash.]

Yuanruan suddenly thought of the mortgage from his previous life, and his expression became much more depressed.

After a pause, Yuan Ruan spoke: [The fourth prince of Chu? He wants to cause a collapse in the real estate market? Can Daxia also have a real estate market? ]

The emperor and his entourage were also a little curious.

What is the property market?

The Minister of Revenue immediately took out his little notebook, and when he heard that it was related to economy, he became interested.

System: [It's true. Ah Ruan. King Xiping is a very smart man. Although the three of them were lucky enough to arrive safely at their fiefdom, they had nothing but the fiefdom, and the land was not particularly suitable for farming. In order to make money, King Xiping thought of merchants, and then he used the rivers in the fiefdoms of the three princes to open up a very large and tax-free river commercial zone.]

Yuan Ruan was a little surprised: [Tax exemption?! King Xiping is so bold! But you don’t want so much tax, can you agree? ]

System: [In order to revitalize his fief, the King of Xiping was willing to give up his fief. As for your brother, he looked down on the low-class industries, and he saw that the King of Xiping and his two brothers were honestly making money in their fiefdom, so he didn't care. This tax exemption... I roughly estimate that it is no problem to make a hundred thousand strings of cash a year.]

Yuan Ruan's pupils trembled: [Hiss, so many! Is this the emperor's mindset? Brother really... treats money like dirt! ]

When the Minister of Revenue heard this, his hands trembled.

What?! Save millions of taels of money?!

He looked at the emperor with resentment: Your Majesty, the princes also have to hand over part of the taxes they collect to the court! In other words, this also loses money from the national treasury!

The Minister of War also looked at the emperor with some resentment, and even wanted to complain: Your Majesty, if you collect this money and give it to the military! You are not a man among men, you are the majesty among majesties!

The emperor hid his slightly trembling fingers and silently shifted his gaze.

Yuanruan: [Tong'er, how can we bring down the property market so that the King of Xiping can be tricked? ]
