Chapter 237 The Division of Nobles in Six Kingdoms
"No, I really don't feel comfortable living with so many people. We have to kick some out."
The first to speak was the King of Wei, who could no longer hold back.
After all, they were living comfortably in their own grand palace. It was one thing for the palace to be sold, but later they shared a palace with others. In the end, people from two different countries were living in the same palace, so at least they had a place to live.
But how could he accept that people from five different countries were now crammed into the same palace?
Moreover, there are just too many inconveniences in this life.
At this moment, he no longer cared that he was the scapegoat for the loss of 300 million taels of silver, and instead began to shout first.
With the first person to ignite the flames of war, the rest will naturally follow suit.
They all glared angrily at the King of Wei:
"How dare you say that? Isn't this all your fault? Originally, we were people from two different countries living in the same palace, but now, because of you, we are crammed together with people from five different countries."
"That's right, if anyone's going out, it should be the people from Wei who get out first."
"No, I'm not going out!"
At this moment, the King of Wei roared with his neck stiff.
People from other countries also started arguing with the King of Wei.
King Zhao stood atop the palace, looking down at the scene below, and sighed.
He knew that the nobles of the six kingdoms were now completely rendered useless.
Not to mention that the palaces that were sold before have been occupied by a group of wealthy merchants, which has already brought shame to the six kingdoms.
The current internal discord and the huge conflicts between countries, with each side unwilling to submit to the other, are already a fatal blow.
It can be said that if this were to erupt, the nobles of the six kingdoms would be rendered useless.
He couldn't help but look up at the sky and sigh.
"The Qin Kingdom is truly blessed by Heaven. First, it had seven wise rulers, then the First Emperor, and now it has a Grand Preceptor, Tang Yu. Why do the other six kingdoms not have this destiny?"
At this point, he no longer paid attention to the dispute below, because whatever they were doing now was meaningless.
The nobles of the six states are no longer as glorious and arrogant as before; instead, they are left with endless humiliation and ridicule.
Even many ordinary people in Qin looked at the nobles of the six states as if they were looking at dogs, or even worse.
Even dogs know that they shouldn't easily give up their kennels to others.
The fact that the nobles of the six states could even sell their own palaces shows that they were hardly anything special.
Another place.
Xiang Yu then returned home and, looking at Tang Yu, Zhang Liang, and Xiao He, excitedly said:
“My three brothers, I went to the Mo family this morning and handed over all three hundred million taels of silver to them for safekeeping. If we were to rise up in rebellion, this money would come in handy.”
Looking at the excited Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang sighed inwardly.
Since Tang Yu has not yet made any statement and has not given any instructions to Zhang Liang, it is clear that Tang Yu has his eye on this money.
I wonder if Tang Yu will just snatch it directly, or if he'll try to transport it away in some other way?
Xiao He, standing to the side, shared the same thoughts as Zhang Liang.
However, neither of them realized that Tang Yu actually didn't have that many unnecessary actions at the moment.
Because he had already had someone take away the three hundred million taels of silver from the Mo family, and it is now stored in his villa.
His villa has now been piled up like a mountain of gold, so much so that there isn't enough room for more.
It's easy to imagine just how enormous the amount of money involved was this time.
"Hahaha, Brother Xiang is truly a genius. Imperial Advisor Tang Yu has suffered a silent loss at Brother Xiang's hands this time."
Tang Yu also raised his hand to congratulate Xiang Yu.
Since he had already gained a substantial advantage, he decided to let Xiang Yu have the moral high ground.
Xiang Yu probably didn't know that his three hundred million taels had already entered his pocket.
Hearing Zilong's congratulations, Xiang Yu felt a surge of joy.
"To be honest, this Imperial Advisor Tang Yu is nothing special. This time, I actually predicted everything."
"Although those worthless nobles from the six kingdoms actually raised money for Tang Yu again and paid protection money, I still managed to make a small profit off him this time."
His words silenced the entire room.
Xiao He and Zhang Liang both looked at him with a mixture of pity and heartache.
Although Xiang Yu is a burly and strong man, his experience today is truly heartbreaking; he is practically the most miserable person in the world.
Tang Yu remained silent.
He simply couldn't understand why Xiang Yu would take advantage of the situation after he had given him face.
However, he still enthusiastically drank with Xiang Yu.
As he drank, Xiang Yu sighed with emotion.
"If you ask me, this Imperial Advisor Tang Yu is truly a major threat to our resistance against the tyrannical Qin!"
Xiang Yu placed the wine jar heavily on the table and looked at Tang Yu with a heavy heart.
"Brother Zilong, you may not know this, but Tang Yu has announced today that he will provide support and assistance to the poor people of the entire Qin Dynasty and to the wounded soldiers of the entire Qin Dynasty."
"By doing this, wouldn't the entire Qin state become more united and more supportive of the Qin Dynasty? And all his money was obtained by defrauding you officials and nobles, as well as the nobles of the other six states. He's simply a bandit."
Before Tang Yu could reply to Xiang Yu's accusations, Zhang Liang and Xiao He exchanged a glance, both seeing fervent enthusiasm in each other's eyes.
They never expected that Tang Yu's words about being wholeheartedly concerned for the people and considering everything for their benefit would come true so quickly.
Thinking about the lives and circumstances of the poor people they saw every day, they felt a pang of sadness just thinking about it.
For a child who could only eat one meal a day, and that meal consisted of flatbread mixed with dirt, and who didn't even have water to drink when he was thirsty, this was just an ordinary part of his daily life.
Some people don't even know to get their feet treated when they're injured, and they never even know what shoes look like in their entire lives.
These are children from impoverished families in this era, and their future appearance after growing up is even more unimaginable, as it will only become more miserable.
However, if Tang Yu were to actually step in and help these people, their situation would surely be greatly alleviated, at least to the point where they wouldn't be as miserable and pitiful as they are now.
Everyone here is a kind-hearted person, someone who cares about the world and its people. When they heard this good news, they looked at Tang Yu with gratitude.
They all made a vow in their hearts that they must follow in Tang Yu's footsteps to save the world and the vast Qin Kingdom.
Youthful spirit surged in their hearts.
