"Phew!"
"Your Highness is indeed ambitious."
"It's just that I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to His Majesty about Your Highness's actions!”
Looking at Liu Yu, Shi Xie's emotions had already calmed down. His eyes stared straight at the King of Qin in front of him, and his words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
Liu Yu might have been hiding his strength and biding his time, and it might not have been a big deal.
This was especially so in Jiaozhou. Even if many people were gathered here, it would be very difficult to attract the attention of the Imperial Court.
But this time, Liu Yu's appearance was completely different.
The imperial court was not blind.
Although the current Great General He Jin was a butcher, he was not really a good-for-nothing. It was not a good thing for the King of Qin to behave like this.
As for His Majesty, there was no need to mention him.
Even though Shi Lin had a bad impression of this Emperor, in reality, this Emperor was the best choice in both methods and abilities.
Back then, General Dou Wu had thought that he would be able to take control of the government and plotted to completely eradicate the eunuch group. However, they did not expect that the news would leak and their entire clan would be exterminated.
In this war, the young emperor seemed to be an invisible person. In the eyes of any party, he was a puppet. However, as he grew older, he began to show the methods of an emperor and began to take back power step by step.
He set up the Shi Zhong Temple to fight back against the power of the imperial relatives and eunuchs. He created an official withdrawal system called the " Three Mutuals Law " to get rid of the control of the aristocratic families over the selection of officials. It was also a Hongdu school. The Spirit Monarch's Hongdu School was the base for him to cultivate his strength.
The result of this prince being demoted was obvious.
"This naturally depends on Lord Prefect.”
Liu Yu naturally sensed the change in Shi Xie's mood. Facing the other party's words, his expression was a faint smile, and it seemed that there wasn't much fluctuation.
However, it was this faint smile that made Shi Xie's body involuntarily tremble.
There was a bitter smile on his face.
At this moment, he finally reacted.
He really had no choice.
If he didn't cooperate, not to mention whether the King of Qin would kill him, even the imperial court couldn't explain it.
As the Governor of Jiaozhou, even if he was only the acting Governor, he was still the Governor.
In the end, you told me that you didn't know anything about the King of Qin's recruitment. Who are you kidding?
If he really dared to report this, he did not know what would happen to Qin Wang, but he, and even the entire Shi family, would definitely be in big trouble.
After all, the Shi family was only a small aristocratic family and could not cause any trouble.
"It seems that His Highness the King of Qin has already made plans. It was my mistake. I'll leave the state capital to His Highness. I wonder what His Highness needs me to do.”
Shi Xie bitterly smiled and sighed. His words were extremely decisive.
Since there was no choice, then there was no need to choose.
Especially when he vaguely felt that this Qin King was not simple.
"Lord Prefect, you are too serious. We should deal with the invasion of the southern barbarians first. However, Lord Prefect, we need weapons and yellow and white items to motivate our soldiers. I wonder if Lord Prefect can give us some for military use.”
Shi Xie's understanding of the situation also caused the faint smile on Liu Yu's face to turn into an even richer smile. His voice was not polite as he directly stated his request.
He had said so much and even prepared so much.
Naturally, it was not just for Shi Xie's submission.
In other words, for him who had the system, there was no decisive factor in Shi Xiechen's refusal to submit. In comparison, what he needed was Shi Xie's golden support.
This would allow him to build the barracks.
"To motivate the soldiers?"
"I understand, but I don't have much money. How much does Your Highness need?”
Shi Xie nodded in response, but he hesitated for a moment before asking.
Although the scholar family was an aristocratic family, compared to the aristocratic families of the Central Plains, they were naturally much poorer. Therefore, they were actually quite nervous about the number that Liu Yu needed.
He was really afraid that Liu Yu would demand an exorbitant price.
Fortunately, when Liu Yu finished speaking, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
"Lord Prefect, you don't have to be nervous. One thousand gold is enough, but please prepare it as soon as possible.”
Liu Yu only asked for 1,000 Gold.
After all, all he needed to do now was to build the barracks. He did not need to think about anything else for the time being.
1,000 gold might be a lot for some people, but it was definitely not a lot for aristocratic families. Even wealthy families like the Shi family could easily fork out 1,000 gold.
After all, this era was not a few hundred years ago. With the rise of the Silk Road, a large amount of gold poured into the Great Han Dynasty, making the value of gold far less than that of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period.
"A thousand gold? Understood, Your Highness. Please wait for a moment, I'll go get it immediately.”
Shi Xie spoke, and then immediately took action. 1,000 gold was indeed not much of a problem for him, especially after the Nanman invasion. He had also mobilized a lot of funds. At this moment, the prefect's manor had more than 5,000 gold. It was naturally not difficult to obtain 1,000 gold.
Soon, about ten minutes later, many people came over with some matters.
Most of it was gold.
There was also a small amount of copper coins and silver.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, one jin was about 200 grams, so 1,000 gold coins was about 400 jin. With the silver and copper coins, it was about 700 to 800 jin.
Of course, Liu Yu didn't care about this. Although there was only one option on the system list, gold didn't only represent gold, silver, copper coins, or even silk cloth in this era. As long as it was a currency, it could become gold.
