Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and pure!

The moment the cold snort sounded, Kong Rong's heart jumped suddenly.

Because the one who made this cold snort was none other than the Prime Minister Cao Cao who was at the head of the hall!

As for the meaning of Cao Cao's words, Kong Rong naturally understood it.

This is when Cao Cao saw that he had donated money and food to the Kong family for three years, and he playfully ridiculed Kong's wealth in order to knock Kong Rong and the Kong family...

Despite this, Kong Rong was still calm in his heart.

He was determined that even if Cao Cao didn't like what he had done, he would only deal with himself at best and not the Kong family.

After all, the Kong family is not only one of the famous families in the world, but also a direct descendant of Confucius, the founder of Confucianism.

The Han Dynasty abolished hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, and all the noble families and officials in the world took the study of Confucian classics as their main purpose.

The most authentic origin of Confucian classics lies in the Kong family...

It can be said that if we really talk about influence in the Han Dynasty, the Kong family's influence is only stronger than that of Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others of the Wen Sect in the world.

It was precisely because he consciously had this amulet that Kong Rong didn't pay too much attention to Cao Cao's playfulness.

So what if your Cao family is now in power?

Do you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and deal with me, the Kong family?

Once you do that, every family in the world will be in danger!

If you, the Cao family, want to achieve great things, you will encounter resistance from the famous families in the world!

Therefore, after Kong Rong thought for a while, he replied to Cao Cao in a neither humble nor arrogant manner:"Prime Minister, you are so complimentary!

We, the people of aristocratic families, have been favored by the great Han for generations and have enjoyed the salary of the great Han.

Now that the great Han is in need, we should do our best to help him in return!""

Kong Rong's words do have some meaning.

There is even something in the words, vaguely digging a hole...

Seizing the point of being a worldly food and a Hanlu and feeding a big man in return, it seems that those guys who are a worldly food and Hanlu but don't want to feed a big man in return have no conscience... and it just so happens that he often serves Cao Cao. Since the Teng Dynasty, there have been Taiwei Cao Song, Prime Minister Cao Cao, and General Cao Ang...

In name, four generations of the Cao family have been ministers of the Han Dynasty and enjoyed four generations of salaries.

If Cao Cao and his son did not express their opinions, it would be like being ungrateful and immoral. In this era where reputation and virtue are important, this is very subtle...

Even if the Cao family really wants to replace the Han Dynasty in the end, they will be criticized for this stain. To win the country is not right.

Cao Cao's small eyes narrowed slightly in an instant.

Obviously he saw the hole dug by Kong Rong.

Deep in the tiger's eyes, there is a vague murderous intention.

Since Cao Cao is evaluated as a traitor, he hates those smart-alecks the most!

At this moment, Cao Ang suddenly stood up and said as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty who deeply believed what Kong Rong said:"Doctor Kong's words are reasonable!

I, the Cao family, have also lived in Han Dynasty for a long time. Thanks to the kindness of the emperor, I have made My father and son occupy high positions.

Now that the imperial court is in need, as Han ministers, how can we not contribute?" As soon as

Cao Ang said these words, not to mention Cheng Yu and other civil and military confidants of the Cao family, it was Kong. Rong, Dong Cheng, Fu Wan, Yang Biao and others were all stunned for a moment!

They never expected that Cao Ang would actually agree with their plot!

Although we know that Cao Ang has always had a reputation for loyalty, filial piety and benevolence, as a member of a noble family, we all know what the big man's reputation is.

Therefore, they did not naively believe that Cao Ang and Cao Zixiu were really the kind of foolish and loyal people who were loyal to the Han more than the Cao family...

Even Kong Rong themselves could not do this.

Therefore, seeing Cao Ang suddenly agreeing with them without any objection or hindrance, Kong Rong and others were stunned and felt strange in their hearts...

Even some people who were more thoughtful were wondering if Cao Ang was fishing!

Looking at the expressions and reactions of Kong Rong and others, Cao Ang knew that these people did not believe him easily.

Anyway, Cao Ang originally didn't want to let them believe that he was just holding high the banner of world food and Hanlu at the moment. He wanted to achieve his goal and harvest a wave of negative energy...

So after Cao Ang expressed his attitude impassionedly, the conversation suddenly changed. A twist:"It's just that the foundation of my Cao family is shallow, and only three or four generations have been in the court so far.

It is far less than the famous family of Han Lu.

In addition, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, we have been fighting for many years.

In order to put down the Yellow Turban Rebellion , To support the imperial court, I, the Cao family, spent all our wealth and recruited soldiers and horses to support the Han Dynasty.

Especially last year and this year, I was ordered to lead the army to sweep the princes, and the money and food consumed was immeasurable.

Even the soldiers who conquered Liaodong this time They have awarded the reward, but it has not been distributed yet.

Therefore, although I, the Cao family, want to share the worries of the court and donate money and food, we are suffering from the fact that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice."

After Cao Ang said these words, Kong Rong, Dong Cheng and others felt relieved. One breath.

In their opinion, Cao Ang was just paying lip service.

He clearly didn’t want to spend money to support the return of the Han Dynasty to Luoyang, but he first established a wave of characters here, and then complained that he was poor and had no money... At this moment, many people felt a little resentful because of this.

"Negative energy from Kong Rong +99"

"Negative energy from Dong Cheng +99"

"Negative energy from Fuwan +66"

"Negative energy from Yang Biao……"

In addition to the negative energy of these ministers, Cao Ang even heard a string of names of Emperor Liu Xie floating in his ears.

"Negative energy from Liu Xie +66"

"Negative energy from Liu Xie +99"

"The negative energy from Liu Xie is +233."

Obviously, Liu Xie's negative energy is higher than that of other ministers. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Because when Cao Ang just spoke, Liu Xie took it seriously I thought that Cao Ang was determined to help the Han Dynasty, and I had expectations in my heart.

But after waiting for a long time, I got the excuse that Cao Ang made up for not having money...

You can imagine how disappointed the emperor Liu Xie was at this moment.

He realized everyone's burden. Energy, Cao Ang felt happy instead of angry.

This wave had at least gained tens of thousands of negative energy points.

Of course, for Cao Ang, this was just an appetizer!

Seeing the faces of Kong Rong, Dong Cheng and others With a disappointed look on his face, Cao Ang changed the subject again, and said with an attitude of caring about the country and the people:"Although I, the Cao family, are short of money and cannot afford money or food.

But I have a plan that will ensure that the imperial court is not short of money and food, and can renovate Luoyang both inside and outside it!"

"brush!"

After Cao Ang finished speaking, everyone in the court couldn't help but look at him. They couldn't figure out what medicine Cao Ang was selling in his gourd.

But Cao Ang continued to speak calmly with a faint smile on his face:"The imperial court The reason why there is a lack of money and food is because there is no money in hand.

The reason why there is no money in hand is that the world is in chaos, the people are destitute, and it is difficult to collect taxes.

The second is that there are no land or mines in the hands of the imperial court.

Where are the fields and mines?

Not in the hands of the court, nor in the hands of the people, but mostly in the hands of powerful families! []

For example, the Sima clan in Hanoi has ancient cities and towns such as Chaoge, Muye, Shanyang, and Xiuwu.

Chaoge was the capital of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and the nearby Luchang Mountains were rich in copper and tin mines.

However, this copper and tin mine is not in the hands of the imperial court, but is the private property of the Sima family.

So the court had no money to use, but the Sima family sat on the treasure mountain and mined copper mines to cast money. (Okay, Zhao)

This move is extremely inconsistent with the policy of government, mountains and seas established by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!"

"Another example is the Wang family in Taiyuan, whose clan owns mountains and mineral resources such as Jieshan and Longshan in Taiyuan, and also enjoys the benefits of the salt pool in Zhaoyuze!

The Wang family is so rich that it can rival the country!

Even worse than Deng Tong back then!"

"However, these people have used the mountains and seas of the imperial court for personal use, exploited their own mines, and minted their own coins. They have harmed the interests of the imperial court and enriched themselves!

They have lived in Han Dynasty and enjoyed the support of the imperial court, but they have dug into the corners of the imperial court in this way. It is simply outrageous!"

"Now that the imperial court is short of money and food, it can just follow the laws of the Han Dynasty, take advantage of the mountains and seas, and collect mines, salt and iron from the hands of noble families to build the palaces and cities of Luoyang and restore the image of the capital of the Han Dynasty!"

At this point, Cao Ang suddenly became extremely excited, raised his arms and shouted:"Collect the benefits of the mountains and seas and return them to the imperial court!

To revive the Han Dynasty and return the old capital!

This is the place of responsibility that we, the loyal ministers of this world, have no shirk from!"

After Cao Ang said these words, Kong Rong, Dong Cheng, Yang Biao and others were all shocked!

To be precise, they were completely dumbfounded.……
