Princess Anyang knows too much about Tang Ning.

She knows about the things with Zhao Man, she knows about the things with Tang Shui, and she also knows about her mother's affairs in the Tang family. If it were a cruel and ruthless person without feelings, she might have been killed long ago.

With her figure and beauty, it is possible that she would do something more excessive before being killed.

Of course, Tang Ning is a serious person and will not do things that repay kindness with enmity. He has always abided by the law and will not do those excessive things to her.

Princess Anyang saw his strange look and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do?"

Tang Ning looked at her and explained, "Although there are parents' orders and matchmakers' words, marriage is a matter of lifelong happiness. Shouldn't it be up to you to decide?"

Princess Anyang looked at him and said, "So you still want to break off the engagement?"

Tang Ning looked at her and said, "Princess, what you mean is that your marriage will be completely decided by the prince and princess, even if they ask you to marry a beggar, would you agree?"

Princess Anyang said, "They won't let me marry a beggar."

It is said that big breasts mean no brains, and big butts mean no brains either. Tang Ning's thoughts were a little confused by her.

Princess Anyang changed the subject and asked, "Are you really determined to do this? This is a thankless task. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. You cut off their financial resources again and again. Aren't you afraid that they will join hands to deal with you?"

"So what?" Tang Ning said calmly, "I only have one sister. How can I stand by and watch what she wants to do?"

Princess Anyang looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "If you want, you can have two."

Tang Ning looked at her with a puzzled look on his face.

Princess Anyang looked at him and said with a smile, "I am older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me sister."

Tang Ning looked at her, thought for a moment, and asked, "You don't want to pay back the 10,000 taels of silver, do you?"

...

Princess Anyang had a good plan, but Tang Ning did not agree to it.

What sister, what sister, he doesn't believe now.

Su Mei used to be his sister, and now he is his fourth wife.

Tang Shui was once his cousin, and now he is his fiancée.

Tang Ning may be destined to have no sister, not to mention that the motive of Anyang County Lord is not pure. She wants to get close to Tang Ning just because she likes his money. Tang Ning does not want to become her ATM.

He has already written a memorial about liberating slaves in the Western Regions. In the past, Tang Ning might have to ask Emperor Chen for instructions on such matters, but now he can make his own decision.

The purpose of the prime minister is to share the pressure for the emperor. It is impossible to leave everything to Emperor Chen.

Moreover, since King Kang rebelled, Emperor Chen fell ill once and his health has not been very good. He is cooperating with the imperial physician to recuperate, and the affairs of the court are fully handed over to Tang Ning, Wang Xiang and King Huai.

Shangshu Dusheng, Wang Xiang looked at his memorial and said, "I know that Tang Xiang has a kind heart, but if this matter is to be promoted, the resistance encountered is no less than when you streamlined the tax system in the past."

Tang Ning naturally knew this.

The court repeatedly banned human trafficking because of the huge profits involved.

There are prostitutes in the human trade, but there are many more people hiding in the dark than those who can be seen in the open.

For those people, this is simply a business with no capital. They cheat and deceive children and women, and they don’t have to pay any price except the risk of being discovered.

And kidnapping people from the Western Regions does not even have this risk.

The court’s laws protect the people of Chen State, not the enemies of the Western Regions, and a beautiful woman from the Western Regions can easily be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver in the capital. All they have to pay is the travel expenses from the Western Regions to the capital.

For those people, as long as there is a 50% profit, they can take risks; with a 100% profit, they dare to trample on all laws; with three times the profit, they dare to commit any crime and are willing to risk being beheaded.

The profit from plundering captives from the Western Regions is more than three times, it is thirty times, three hundred times. Many people in Beijing make a living and get rich from this. Tang Ning wants to move a piece of cake that is even bigger than the tax system streamlining.

But what does it matter? He demolished the cake shop in Jiangnan and didn't care about the few small dignitaries in the capital.

In fact, he was still worried that there were no mistakes to make, and he needed them to give him a chance.

Tang Ning looked at Wang Xiang and said with a smile: "We are sitting here, doing things for the people. We can't give up easily just because we encounter difficulties. In this world, what can we do without encountering difficulties? If we give up as soon as difficulties arise, what can we accomplish?"

"Young people are to be feared." Wang Xiang looked at him and said, "If you want to do it, do it. We old guys also want to see how far you can go."

When this memorial was delivered to King Huai, King Huai put it down, looked at him, and said, "There are many powerful people in the capital who make money from this business. The last tax system was already a cut from them. If the sale of slaves in the Western Regions is completely banned, it will cut off their roots. They will definitely fight to the death with Lord Tang."

Tang Ning smiled and asked, "Are there not many people in the capital who are fighting to the death with me?"

King Huai glanced at him and asked: "Can I ask, this matter has nothing to do with Mr. Tang in the first place, so why are you fighting those people to the death for this matter?"

"What Chen Guo is doing to the Western Regions now is not what the grassland did to Chen Guo in the past?" Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Your Highness has never been to the grassland, and you don't know how the Han people who were kidnapped by the Sushen people lived there. What kind of life, what kind of bullying they suffered, they had no clothes on their bodies, no food to eat, and were often beaten by them. Even if they were beaten to death, they were just randomly thrown on the grassy beach and cut into pieces by wild wolves. Vultures eviscerate..."

He glanced at King Huai and said, "Our Chen country is known as a country of etiquette, but what is the difference between the behavior of a country of etiquette and what we call barbarians?"

King Huai shook his head and said: "This matter is much more difficult than streamlining the tax system. I still advise Lord Tang to be wise and protect yourself..."

Tang Ning shook her head slightly and said: "This matter does not depend on whether our position is the Chen Kingdom or the Western Regions. Your Highness grew up in a rich life and has never suffered the hardships they have suffered, nor has he been bullied by them. I understand... "

boom!

King Huai slammed the table, stood up suddenly, and said through gritted teeth: "How do you know that I haven't suffered the same hardships they have suffered, and I haven't been bullied like they have!"

Tangning looked at him in surprise and asked, "Your Highness?"

King Huai closed his eyes, took a deep breath, sat down again, his expression returned to calm, and said: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper just now..."

"It doesn't matter." Tangning glanced at him, took the book and left.

"Wait a minute."

Tang Ning turned around and looked at King Huai. King Huai looked at him and said, "My father has handed over the affairs of the Western Regions to me a long time ago. Since Mr. Tang wants to do these things, how can I avoid it?"

Tangning looked at him and asked, "Your Highness, are you not afraid that they will fight us to the death?"

King Huai said: "When they die, they will be divorced."

"That's very good." Tangning handed him the envelope and said, "This time, either they die or we live."
