As long as it can be solved with money, it will not be a problem for Qi State.

However, all the court officials of Qi State looked at Hou Sheng and Lord Changguo.

It’s not that they can’t afford the money, but the matter is decided by King Jian of Qi. If they agree, what about next time?

This kind of thing will happen again once it happens.

If they compromise this time, the court officials may think that they have surrendered and will side with King Jian of Qi.

Therefore, the public office alliance is thinking about how to regain the right to speak.

It's not that they don't know the benefits of hiring Bingzhou soldiers, nor are they short of money, they just simply don't want to pay King Jian of Qi.

"We need to go back and negotiate with the people in the city about this matter!" Lord Changguo found a way out for himself.

King Jian of Qi had anticipated this. The price he set was an exorbitant one in itself, and he never thought that these court officials would agree to it on the spot.

I'm afraid that after these people leave the court, the first thing they will do is to find Gongsun Linglong, trying to bypass me and reach an agreement directly with Bingzhou.

However, King Jian of Qi was not panicked at all. With these people, they did not have the ability and status to allow Bingzhou to trade directly with them.

There is something called risk control.

When Qi and Bingzhou hired a large army, the credibility of Qi was guaranteed and the risk was extremely small.

If these people were to be hired by Bingzhou alone, there would be no risk at all, and it might even cause the Bingzhou army to be dragged into the war for no reason. Would Bingzhou agree to this?

"I think we should discuss this with the people!" Hou Sheng also spoke.

Unlike what Chang Guojun and others thought, Hou Sheng was simply worried about his money.

In his opinion, whether Qi State existed or not was a matter for King Jian of Qi and those court officials. Why should he spend money to buy protection for those people?

"Whatever you want!" King Jian of Qi turned around and left the court directly, without paying any attention to the procedures and rituals of the court meeting.

The huge court of Qi State, which has existed for nearly a thousand years, is like a new makeshift team, without any historical heritage or cultural accumulation.

Lord Changguo looked at the frivolous back of Prince Qi as he left, his brows furrowed, and he always felt that Prince Qi had other tricks up his sleeve.

After leaving the Qi Palace, all the royal family members gathered together to discuss.

"Tell me, how much money will it cost for me to mobilize the Bingzhou Military to kill all these guys now?" In the Qi Palace, Qi Wang Jian was reading the secret report and learned that the group of people in the public office had a private meeting. He smiled and looked at the Grand Chamberlain.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Da Changqiu's body trembled. He had no doubt that King Jian of Qi really wanted to kill these people, but now was not the time.

"Your Majesty, you can kill one, two, three, four, five, or six of them, but you can't kill them all. After all, most of Qi is still controlled by them. If you kill them, the Prime Minister will not be able to stabilize the government!"

"Besides, Bingzhou may not agree to such a thing."

King Jian of Qi sighed. Yes, Hou Sheng could not control the political situation.

If Hou Sheng had some ability, he would dare to kill all these people and then completely take the royal power into his hands.

It’s a pity that my uncle is so incompetent, otherwise how could the State of Qi be in this situation!
"Send someone to give Mr. Gongsun three hundred gold coins. No need to say anything. Mr. Gongsun is a smart man and will understand what I mean!" King Jian of Qi thought for a moment and spoke again.

The Grand Chamberlain nodded, this would cut off the office's retreat.

At the embassy, ​​Gongsun Linglong was really rude. She really used Qi's public funds to travel around and make purchases everywhere.

As the most prosperous capital city in the world today, Linzi not only has a large population, but also the most prosperous trade.

As long as China has it, you can buy it in Linzi. So, Gongsun Linglong was really not polite. She bought all the rouge, powder, silk and satin that she usually couldn't afford, because it wasn't her own money anyway.

Taking Qi's money and doing one's own business is called doing favors for King Jian of Qi. King Jian of Qi will not only not be dissatisfied, but will even be very happy.

"You can't just buy for yourself. Your Majesty has to take one, the Queen and the Second Lady have to take one, and the court lady Nanyue has to take one too..." Gongsun Linglong counted on her fingers.

Then, pack up multiple copies and take them away!

"Interesting!" King Jian of Qi looked at his men's report and did not stop them.

Because this secret report showed that all the places where Gongsun Linglong went to purchase and spend money at public expense belonged to the royal family, and all of them were purchased by the royal family without paying.

As for the shops opened by other royal offices and nobles, Gongsun Linglong didn't even look at them and never set foot in them.

This is the signal and commitment given by Bingzhou.

However, a person no one expected would appear in Linzi.

"Miss Linglong!" In the largest tavern in Linzi, three figures with extraordinary bearing sat at the windows facing the street and extended an invitation to Gongsun Linglong who was making a large purchase.

"The head of Confucianism, Master Yan Lu, and Mr. Zhang Liang!" Gongsun Linglong was a little surprised, but she reacted quickly.

Qi and Lu are the strongholds of Confucianism. As a contemporary famous scholar, it is impossible for Confucianism to remain indifferent when I appear in Linzi.

Whether discussing the division of territories among the hundreds of schools or the two schools of thought, they all needed to meet with him.

Therefore, Gongsun Linglong walked into the tavern with confidence and sat in the seat reserved for her.

"Bingzhou is planning to send troops to Qi?" Fu Nian spoke directly.

As the local boss, any disturbance will not escape the eyes and ears of the Confucians.

"That depends on what Qi chooses!" Gongsun Linglong did not hide it.

"It seems that Bingzhou will send troops to Qi. Then, Zi Nian has a question. Are Bingzhou and the hundreds of families in Bingzhou simply coming to Qi to make money, or do they want to rule Qi?" Fu Nian continued.

The main reason they came was that they were worried that the Hundred Schools of Thought in Bingzhou would follow the army and invade the territory that originally belonged to Confucianism.

"Linglong dare not give any answer or promise on this point!" Gongsun Linglong shook her head.

With the arrival of the army, no one can guarantee whether the hundreds of families in Bingzhou will take the opportunity to expand. Even if Yan Yan is here, he cannot make decisions for the hundreds of families in Bingzhou.

Fu Nian, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang looked at each other and nodded. They got the answer they wanted.

Bingzhou did not support the Hundred Schools of Thought taking the opportunity to expand in the Qi and Lu regions and compete with Confucianism for territory.

All actions are decisions made within the company.

This means that even if Confucianism takes action against those Hundred Schools of Thought who take advantage of the situation, Bingzhou will not do anything!

"Mr. Gongsun cannot guarantee for other forces in Bingzhou, so what about the famous masters?" Zhang Liang continued to ask.

"The Chunyu family must die!" Gongsun Linglong said lightly.

"Oh?" Fu Nian and Zhang Liang were both a little surprised, but Yan Lu's expression remained unchanged, as if he had expected it.

What surprised Fu Nian and Zhang Liang was that they had never heard of any feud between the famous scholars and the Confucian Chunyu lineage. Why did they want to attack the Chunyu lineage?

"The Chunyu family has insulted your majesty many times. As a famous family dependent on Bingzhou, it is natural for us to share your worries." Yan Lu looked at Gongsun Linglong and explained why the famous family wanted to take action against the Chunyu family.
