The first daughter is not bad, the prince does not love

Chapter 406 Wool comes from sheep

Lin Sizan didn't want to ask Lin Xiaoqian this question at first, because she thought it was meaningless. Since he dared to do this, he must have a good excuse to deal with the doubts from all sides.

Lin Xiaoqian didn't know if he really had no scruples, but he admitted it generously, saying: "Ranran, today my father will talk to you openly, after all, behind closed doors, we are father and daughter, and we don't need to hide anything from you , Anyway, even if you listen to these words, you can do nothing. I am indeed as you think, this is just an action against the prince, how can such a huge treasury not be able to spend 30 taels of silver?"

"But where the money is spent is very important. The military supplies in the Northwest are huge. We can't let our soldiers have enough food and clothing, and the weapons in our hands can't be rotten and unable to fight, right?"

"Villagers like Goryeo and Nanzhao pay tribute to the imperial court every year, but the imperial court has to give them back more silk, satin, porcelain, tea, real gold and silver. Don't you give them? That would lose the majesty and tolerance of the kingdom of heaven, Then why do they bow down to His Majesty and Li Chao?"

"There are still many costs that you can't imagine. Let's just talk about the imperial examination. How much manpower, material and financial resources will it cost to hold it once? But if your majesty wants to push it hard, can you not do it?"

"I'm in front of the household department, so I know how many places need to spend money every year, but what about taxes? Hehe..."

At the end, Lin Xiaoqian smiled wryly to himself.

Lin Sizan looked at Lin Xiaoqian, and asked, "So everywhere you need money, you have to prioritize it. To you, the life and death of the 10,000+ people in the south of the Yangtze River is not worth mentioning?"

"It's not worth mentioning, but the prince can't do it. As long as the prince doesn't fight for this credit, the second prince doesn't need to take the money from the treasury, but from the household department. The family standing behind the second prince will be willing to do it himself." If you spend your money to help the people in the south of the Yangtze River, why don't you stop it and save the country a few hundred thousand taels?"

"Which of these aristocratic families is not so rich? If you don't cut their flesh, why do you want to suck blood from the increasingly empty treasury? Obviously, the silver has more important uses."

Lin Xiaoqian actually revealed the reason.

Lin Siran hadn't thought of this before.

"But the aristocratic family is willing to support the second prince, must it be because the second prince still wants to benefit the aristocratic family after he came to power?" Lin Siyao sneered, "The wool comes from the sheep after all, and the aristocratic family is not a fool, and will not spend money in vain. "

"You're right, but if the wool doesn't come from the sheep, where should it come from? It's been like this since ancient times. Are you still trying to change this eternal rule?"

Lin Xiaoqian folded his hands behind his back, and the corner of his mouth was curved in mockery.

Lin Siran raised his head, his eyes were clear and penetrating, and he said: "There are always people who will change. It has always been like this, so is it right? Why do people who have lived the most suffer give the most? It's not fair, and Incorrect, it should be changed! I am only sorry that the father who has read sage books like this, who came out of the poor, clearly saw such injustice, but did not want to change it, but would become this injustice supporters!"

"What can you change by yourself?" Lin Xiaoqian roared loudly, "That's just your naive and stupid idea, no one can change all this, no one! Whoever wants to fight against all this will be crushed!"

"I know I'm naive and stupid, but if there are only smart people like my father left in the world, it's really sad and hopeless!"

Lin Sianran's eyes were filled with tears, and she just felt sad.

"If I wasn't smart enough, the Lin family wouldn't be where they are today, and you wouldn't have the opportunity to stand here and say something like this to me! Do you think that everything you have now is really your own ability? Without the help of the Lin family The platform you provide is not as high as your father is today. You are just a small village girl in the Lin family village. Can you meet the prince? Can you meet the concubine Hui? Can you make friends with the princess? Can you be accepted as righteous by Mr. Qingxuan? Girl? Can you become a student of Mrs. Luohua?"

"Don't enjoy all of this and look down on all of this, it will appear too hypocritical and despicable!"

Lin Xiaoqian's words, like thunder, shattered Lin Siran's pride and dignity.

"Father, I admit that the Lin family may have provided me with a good step, but think about it again, haven't you provided Lin Qianyu with the same everything? Or, you have provided her with more, better, and more I want to do my best to cultivate her, but what will happen in the end? Even if people stand at the same starting point, they will walk on completely different paths because of different choices."

"I don't look down on my father's efforts in the past, but I look down on you. You have good enough conditions, you have the opportunity to speak out, and you have the power to change the world, but you can only see your own interests, like a miser Same, for fear of being taken away by others! I am different from you, and I will not choose to be loyal to a person who I clearly look down on, and my blood will not be shed for such a person!"

Lin Siran speaks righteously, and refuses to compromise at all.

This was her answer to Lin Xiaoqian's words.

"After all, you refuse to cooperate? Insist on being an enemy of father and the second prince?" Lin Xiaoqian narrowed his eyes, his eyes were slightly dangerous.

Lin Siran said: "If the second prince can prove it, he will be the lord of the world. He really cares about the people, and he is willing to fight against the family who has firmly controlled the huge wealth but is still not satisfied. For ordinary people, To give hope to the poor, without my father saying, I am willing to bow my head and do my best for this greatness!"

"you……"

Lin Xiaoqian pointed at Lin Siran, shaking his hands uncontrollably.

"Okay... okay... that's really good!"

Behind the screen in the study room, there was a sudden applause.

Lin Siran was slightly startled, it turned out to be Li Xingjue's voice.

Li Xingjue came out from behind majesticly, with an inscrutable smile on his face.

After not seeing each other for several months, Lin Sizan found that Li Xingjue had changed a lot. His arrogance was replaced by a dark and steady temperament. Ambitious.

Such a change was never expected by Lin Siran.

Lin Siran was even a little regretful. If he hadn't fallen so badly, Li Xingjue might still be the self-righteous, stupid and arrogant King of Fortune. Such a person would not be able to make a fortune, nor would he be a threat to Li Xingxu.

But what about this person now?

He has a fierce aura of a sword drawn from its sheath, his eyes are reserved but sharper, he has become terrifying!

Lin Siran's heart was filled with remorse and fear. She never wanted Li Xingjue to have such a change, but things seemed to be getting more and more complicated because of her.

"Your Highness..." Lin Xiaoqian hurriedly wanted to salute.

Li Xingjue waved his hand, signaling that he doesn't need to be too polite, and said, "Lord Lin, can I have a private talk with Ling Qianjin?"

Lin Xiaoqian didn't care about Lin Siran's opinion at all, and hurriedly nodded in agreement, saying: "The humble minister will leave first!"

After speaking, he left the door of the study.
