Chapter 501

Pity.

Qin Mu shook his head.

"Suppressing bandits in Jiaozhou is a lot of trouble; why bother?"

"It's better to have a bandit suppression operation at Haixin Sandbar and just make a gesture."

Why at Haixin Sandbar?

Old Li and Fang Fang Xuanling looked at each other, unable to guess Qin Mu's intention.

"Your Majesty, Haixin Sandbar has a sparse population, only some fishermen live there, and there are no bandits!"

"Moreover, after the Wang clan moves there, they will definitely strictly restrain the locals, so there will be even fewer bandits!"

"Could it be..."

Speaking to the end, Fang Fang Xuanling suddenly realized.

I'm afraid Qin Mu's idea from the beginning was not bandit suppression.

It was just that Fang Fang Xuanling and Old Li were full of bandit suppression and took it for granted.

"Your Majesty's meaning is to take the Wang family as a knife and kill the chicken to warn the monkey?"

Qin Mu nodded slowly.

If this was the case, Great Qin had taken action against the Wang family, one of the four great families, which would definitely make the other three families... They dared to get angry at Li Er, but they didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect for Qin Mu.

Fang Fang Xuanling and Old Li just didn't think of this step before.

Now that they thought of it, they realized how wonderful this plan was?

Silent as cicadas in winter.

"Your Majesty, wonderful!"

"If the four great families rebel, it's nothing more than to save the Wang family."

"But if Great Qin directly destroys the Wang family, they have nothing to talk about, and can only choose to fight or not fight."

"It's equivalent to putting them on the fire."

Fang Fang Xuanling's words were not finished.

Why would the four great families rebel?

There were two reasons behind it.

The first was worrying that they would become the next Wang family.

The second was feeling that they had hope of supporting a new monarch to take the throne, so they could control the imperial court more.

If Great Qin took action against the Wang family, it was equivalent to directly expressing its attitude.

The four great families' idea of supporting a new monarch could not be realized.

The most wonderful part of this plan was killing the Wang family and cutting the Wang clan off at the roots! What the Great Tang dared not do, Great Qin would do.

A four-legged table suddenly had one leg cut off; the only outcome was to tilt. The four great families became a force that Great Qin and Great Tang joined hands to eliminate. And among the people, by then, besides money, what else would they have left? They could only lie down obediently and be slaughtered.

There was no chance of rebellion anymore.

For the Great Tang, this was also the best result.

"Your Majesty, this plan is wonderful!"

"They also cannot get support."

"Then let's quickly sign the alliance and send troops according to the agreement?"

Old Li was a bit impatient.

Qin Mu raised one hand, signaling to stop.

"To have Great Qin send troops, how much more money is your Great Tang prepared to give?"

Old Li was stupid.

He had just promised to cede a thousand miles of fertile land.

Why ask for money again now?

A thousand miles of fertile land, was it spent so quickly?

Fang Fang Xuanling knew Qin Mu relatively well and whispered to Old Li.

"Old Li, you promised too quickly just now; a thousand miles of fertile land was just a bargaining chip to let Great Qin not cooperate with the four great families."

"In fact, even if you gave nothing, Great Qin couldn't cooperate with the four great families."

"Now, to have Great Qin send troops, it seems we have to come up with another bargaining chip."

Yu!

Old Li was so angry he almost shouted.

But there was no way!

People under the low eaves have to bow their heads.

They ran to Great Qin's territory to beg Qin Mu. Naturally, they had to let Qin Mu set the conditions.

"Great Qin Emperor, the four great families have billions in wealth, even more money than our Great Tang treasury!"

"As long as you can help our Great Tang eradicate the four great families, the money in their homes can all be offered!"

These words were a bit vague, and Qin Mu was a bit dissatisfied.

Just promising to offer the money of the four great families to Great Qin after eradicating them, without a specific number, was hard to handle.

Qin Mu didn't want to talk nonsense with him.

"Let's not talk about the far ones first; just say how much money you will give to help you deal with the Wang clan?"

"If the money is not in place, Great Qin will not send troops."

Old Li hated it so much he gritted his teeth, but he still had to accompany him with a smile on his face.

The Wang clan had already been exiled to Haixin Sandbar.

Dealing with this group of stray dogs was actually easy; even slightly larger pirates could complete it.

However, the difficulty was that the Great Tang couldn't do it themselves and had to borrow Great Qin's hand.

Only if Great Qin took action could they possess enough deterrent power!

It concerned the survival of the Great Tang!

Old Li had no choice but to grit his teeth and say.

"Now it happens to be the autumn harvest; in a few days, when the tax silver is collected from the treasury, I will deliver one million taels of silver to Great Qin at once."

"Requesting Great Qin to take action!"

Qin Mu shook his head and extended a finger.

"Ten million!"

Pfft...

Old Li knew that every time he came to Great Qin, he would be angered to the point of smoke coming out of his seven orifices.

Maybe one day, he would be angered to death in this great hall!

Ten million taels of silver, directly increasing the price he offered by ten times!

This price was also too outrageous.

For Great Qin, sending a small army to quickly solve the Wang family didn't take much effort at all.

Moreover, Great Qin already had troops stationed in Huating.

It took one day to go from Huating to Haixin Sandbar.

Why did he want so much money?

Old Li felt he was being slaughtered and wanted to refuse in anger.

It was just that the refusal was stuck in his throat for a moment and couldn't be said.

Fang Fang Xuanling saw this and hurriedly pleaded with Qin Mu on behalf of Old Li.

"Your Majesty, ten million taels is really too much; the treasury can't take out that much silver for a while. Moreover, this price is also too expensive!"

They started bargaining on the spot.

The Great Qin officials all covered their mouths and laughed secretly.

Major national affairs were actually negotiated Wu Li Ke buying vegetables in a vegetable market, which was also very interesting.

Qin Mu remained unmoved.

"Do you still want to deceive me?"

"You raided the Wang family's property and ate until your mouths were full of oil, yet you still say the treasury has no money?"
