Chapter 546 The system suddenly exploded
System: [Ah Ruan, don't underestimate the profits they bring! Especially under the catalysis of the Midas Touch Concubine Rong, the extinction of the clan... Pah, the Liuli Road is not only about making money from selling goods. Food, clothing, daily necessities, housing, etc. along the way, everything can make a lot of money. I tell you this, not only the small nobles are tempted, but those big nobles are also looking forward to this road to their own territory, and they will come to seek refuge in a changed manner.]
Yuan Ruan still couldn't understand: [The nobles were doing this, so why didn't the county and state officials stop them? ]
System: [What are they trying to stop? They are being paid by the Daxia Army. How can they have the nerve to stop it?]
Yuan Ruan's pupils shrank: [Ah?]
System: [Really? Why do you think the Minister of War always asks the Minister of Revenue for money? Because this money is not only given to the army, but also to the county magistrate of Chen State. In short, it is a bribe to the officials of the prefecture-level counties and cities of Chen State. This plan was proposed by your eldest nephew and perfected by Master Liu. Now it is going smoothly. Otherwise, the little nobles would not dare to lead the Great Xia Army.]
The Crown Prince and the Third Prince, who knew the inside story, were helpless. They never expected the system to expose this.
People who don’t know: !!!
What?! The Chen Kingdom has been played like this?!
Yuan Ruan was also shocked and sucked his fingers: [Ah? Has the Chen Kingdom become so corrupt? Has the Chen Kingdom accepted it? No one has exposed it? ]
System: [Of course there is. But this chain of interests is too strong. Those who are unwilling to join will be killed by others.]
Yuan Ruan took a deep breath and couldn't help asking again: [Wait... I remember it was only a few years. How could Chen State be turned into this? ]
The system said as if it was a matter of course: [It's normal! This matter was initiated by Master Liu. Master Liu could have brought down the entire Chen Kingdom by herself. Now that the Chen Kingdom has been weakened, she has the support of the powerful Daxia. It is in line with the protagonist's law that the Chen Kingdom has been brought down like this.]
Yuanruan: ...
The protagonist's law seems to make some sense.
Yuanruan: […Ah…it seems so.]
The system continued: [Yes. Not only him, but many other minor nobles in Chen State also do this. That is why I say this is a "road to extinction". On the one hand, internal robbing within Chen State can easily lead to extinction of the clan, and on the other hand, collusion with the enemy and treason can also lead to extinction of the clan if it goes too far.]
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [Yes. I now understand why agriculture was emphasized over commerce in ancient times. Money can move people's hearts. Interests are sometimes too scary... Wait, Daxia also has interests. Has Daxia been invaded? ]
System: [Don't worry, Ah Ruan. Concubine Rong is very generous. The competition environment in Da Xia is fair and reasonable. There are no problems for the time being. Don't be afraid if there are problems. I will reveal them all to you and kill them! ]
Yuanruan: ...
At this moment, the system suddenly exploded.
System: [Ahhh! The bad guys have appeared! Ah Ruan, look at the caravan of six carriages on the far left. There are more than a dozen confused children in the caravan. They are all captured!]
Everyone stole a glance and prepared to take action secretly.
Yuan Ruan also immediately took out the turtle shell. He was too lazy to act any longer and just touched it twice.
She pointed at the convoy and shouted angrily, "Brother Crown Prince, stop it! You human traffickers!"
The prince waved his hand and the palace guards rushed over.
The Minister of Justice, the Prince's Tutor and the Junior Secretary also ran up quickly and stopped the convoy of six carriages in one go.
