Chapter 84 Digging up the ancestral graves!
Jiang Qingqing's eyes flickered slightly.
Although she couldn't bear to see corpses everywhere in various countries, there were some things that she couldn't change alone, and she wasn't such a saint as to save everyone at all costs.
"It's enough to pass the news on to the other three major countries. Don't worry about whether they believe it or not."
"As for Daliang..."
Jiang Qingqing paused, not knowing what to do for a moment.
More than a dozen cities in Daliang are now under the control of the Queen Mother. She certainly cannot reveal her identity and give them direct orders.
Even if I give the order, I guess they won't listen.
"Xu Zhishi, do you have any way to contact the officials in other cities?"
Xu Jifeng, who was called, shook his head awkwardly.
"What about Mr. Jiang? Do you have any solution?"
Jiang Qingqing looked around and placed her hopeful gaze on Jiang's father.
Father Jiang also waved his hand.
"Your Highness, the Jiang family has always been directly under His Majesty and has never dealt with officials from other cities."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Huangshan, who had been unable to get a word in, spoke embarrassedly.
"Your Highness..."
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Jiang Qingqing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Huang Shan cleared his throat, looking a little awkward.
"I can contact them, but... I need some silver."
Huang Shan's words made Jiang Qingqing's eyes light up, and she suddenly felt hopeful. "Can you contact them? How much silver do you need? Tell me."
Money or something else is not the key, as long as we can get in touch.
Jiang Qingqing probably didn't think much about it.
But Xu Jifeng, who was also a local official, suddenly looked a little strange.
What does this mean?
This shows that there are always a few officials in other places who secretly collect money from the people as a necessity to maintain relationships.
These are all behaviors that Your Majesty has expressly prohibited.
Huang Shan: "If you need anything, I'll need... half a box of ten taels of silver ingots."
After saying that, everyone took a breath.
Half a box of ten taels of silver ingots.
This still requires one thing.
Jiang Qingqing also realized the twists and turns involved, but now that the matter was urgent, she had no time to pursue these matters.
"I still have some gold ingots I found in Zhang Yuan's house, but I'm afraid they're not enough."
"Do you have any money left?"
Xuzhou is in a war-torn area, so honeysuckle cannot be grown outside.
Food can be used as a means of circulation.
But other cities are not like that!
They are now all in a safe zone, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and silver is still the main means of circulation.
Xu Jifeng immediately asked his wife to bring the most valuable silver in the mansion.
Madam Xu held a small box of silver and handed it to Jiang Qingqing: "Your Highness, these are some of the family assets I secretly left behind when Zhang Yuan came to search."
After she fell into Liu Xubai's trap last time, Madam Xu rarely appeared in everyone's sight.
They are all hiding from everyone.
She felt like a sinner.
His Highness's innocence has been damaged.
Jiang Qingqing narrowed her eyes slightly and took the silver. "Thank you."
Speaking objectively, Jiang Qingqing was very grateful that she could take out all the money that had been saved in the family this time.
Huang Shan and several representatives of the people also took out some.
They couldn't give their all like Xu Jifeng did.
But you can still contribute something and do your bit.
As for the Jiang family.
It had long been plundered clean by the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The once wealthy and powerful family that had fought for a century was now penniless.
Even Jiang's father had an extremely embarrassed look on his face.
Finally, everyone used an abacus to count the small amounts of silver.
Jiang Qingqing sighed: "We still need three hundred silver ingots."
I never thought that one day I would worry about money.
The difference is quite a lot.
Brother Jiang: "Can't we bargain for this? Half a box per person is too much."
Huang Shan shook his head.
"These are the rules of the underworld, and no one has ever broken them."
Some representatives of the people spoke out:
"How about asking the people for some? They should be happy to donate, with everyone contributing a little."
Uncle Jiang: "Let's ask the gods for some advance. Can we use the herbs to pay off the debt?"
Everyone rushed to offer suggestions.
But neither of them was Jiang Qingqing's first choice.
Jiang Qingqing looked at the scorching sun outside, thought for a while, and made up her mind: "Come with me to dig for gold! The court has stored many treasures in the underground palace of Yingzhou."
As soon as Jiang Qingqing finished speaking, everyone's faces showed different expressions.
They probably knew what those things were. It should be that since the founding emperor, every generation of the Jiang family would dig an underground palace in a different location.
As reserve gold and silver.
These things were kept as a backup plan for the royal family to make a comeback when the country was about to be destroyed.
The quantity is huge and the value is inestimable.
But it seems to be no different from digging up one's own ancestral grave.
Jiang Qingqing looked at the silence of the crowd and pursed her lips. "What's wrong? Is it not good?"
That’s tens of thousands of treasure chests.
It's all gold inside!
As the most respected elder present, Jiang's father was pushed by everyone's gaze and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid this plan is... a little unfilial."
Jiang Qingqing: ???
Unfilial?
That’s not the case. Our ancestors saved money for so many years, wasn’t it meant to be spent?
Jiang Qingqing was a little confused for a while.
My father didn't seem to have said it at the time, that it simply couldn't be spent. His exact words were, "If you need it, just go get it yourself. There are plenty of underground palaces throughout Daliang."
Since he ascended the throne, he has built no less than three small ones.
The attitude is very casual.
Jiang Qingqing took a sip of water and felt that everyone was too stingy.
He slammed the table and decided:
"Dig! It's just gold, there's plenty of it."
The scale of the underground palace in Yingzhou ranks among the top three.
It will be a hot month, and all food and supplies will have to be obtained from the gods.
It will definitely cost a lot of money.
There is no need for it now. By then, everyone will be dead, leaving the treasure for people to dig up a thousand years later?
It’s a free give to others!
"Good! Dig! I want to see what the legendary 'national treasury' looks like."
Brother Jiang loves to join in this kind of fun and was the first to speak out in agreement.
Jiang's mother gave him a sidelong glance.
Jiang's mother still wanted to persuade Jiang Qingqing to think twice.
Father Jiang reached out to stop her and shook his head.
Bao Zhong said: "Your Highness, no matter what decision you make, the Jiang family will follow you. As long as you give the order."
"good!"
Jiang Qingqing raised the bottle of mineral water in her hand and said, "Come on, everyone, get ready. We're going to dig the underground palace tonight!"
The meeting ended.
Jiang's mother looked at the people walking away and looked at Jiang's father in confusion.
"General, why did you stop me just now?"
Father Jiang sighed softly.
"Madam, don't you notice that His Highness is different from the late emperor, or any of the previous crown princes?"
"She is passionate, reckless, straightforward and honest. But she never makes mistakes because of these seemingly childish ways of doing things."
"On the contrary, any decision she makes is in the best interests of the people."
“And it was all completed successfully.”
Father Jiang gazed deeply at Jiang Qingqing's receding figure and said, "It is a blessing for all the people of the world to have such a highness."
