Chapter 225 Xiang Yu in Action
Chapter 225 Xiang Yu in Action
Seeing that Xiang Yu had already agreed, Tang Yu nodded inwardly.
The word "取" is used brilliantly!
Isn't that the essence?
You can only take your own money; taking someone else's money is called stealing or taking.
However, the fact that Xiang Yu is now using it proves that Xiang Yu agrees with his own statement and his own viewpoint.
It seems this nobleman from one of the six kingdoms is in for a lot of trouble!
Tang Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
But deep down he felt little pity.
These nobles take money but do nothing, spending their days oppressing the villagers and bullying ordinary people; they are the worst of the worst.
Tang Yu was pleased to exploit them and even to gain benefits and rewards from them.
Instead of feeling pain, he felt an unusual sense of pride.
At the same time, Tang Yu would also use his status as the Imperial Advisor to collect the 300 million taels from them in the early stages.
Don't say you don't have money.
Tang Yu won't care about that.
He had previously told Xiang Yu that it was absolutely impossible for them to be so beastly as to sell their children for money.
But Tang Yu wanted to say sorry, I really am that kind of beast.
You absolutely have to pay this money for me. You can sell your children or do anything else, but if you can't pay this money, then you'll all die.
Hopefully, these nobles from the six kingdoms can hold out.
Tang Yu sighed and happily began drinking with Xiang Yu.
Finally, Tang Yu returned home with Xiao He's help.
And so Tang Yu began his two days of idle, aimless time, because the time he had agreed upon with Ying Zheng was three days later.
Three days later, they launched an attack in the imperial court and even went directly to the residences of the nobles of the six states to collect money.
He and Xiang Yu agreed that the time to steal from the nobles of the six states would be two days later.
So these past two days, Tang Yu has once again found himself in this leisurely time.
So, Tang Yu would occasionally go to the Mohist disciples to show off, or to comfort the lonely and helpless Su Jinse, and exchange practical experience.
Actually, it was quite a wonderful time.
While Tang Yu was relaxed and carefree, the nobles of the six kingdoms suffered greatly.
They've been cursing every single day for the past few days.
But while cursing, they were also forced to fight hard for Tang Yu's goal.
Because they knew that if they couldn't hold onto the money, Tang Yu would definitely punish them.
At that point, it won't just be a matter of money; you might even lose your life.
If I lose my life then, won't all this money just be taken back by the Qin state? What's the point of resisting then?
So in recent days, merchants in Xianyang and other Qin nobles have discovered that the royal families of the six kingdoms, who were originally high and mighty and looked down on them, are now selling off all kinds of property and treasures.
They even sold off the palace where they lived.
This immediately shocked the people. What was going on?
"Could it be that the nobles of these six kingdoms are out of money and are even auctioning off the palaces that His Majesty built for them?"
“I don’t know, but when they saw me yesterday, they finally looked at me properly. Here, I’m just a small-time businessman, and they think I’m not even as good as a pig or a dog. I never thought they would have this day.”
Seeing the suffering of these nobles from the six kingdoms, many people applauded and cheered.
These nobles from the six kingdoms used to be incompetent, so when they fell on hard times, there was definitely a group of people who took advantage of their misfortune.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it all."
At this moment, the King of Wei was cursing among the nobles of the six states.
After some deliberation, they realized that if they wanted to provide the full amount of funds as Tang Yu suggested, they would need to sell the palaces of two of their countries.
And King Wei, unfortunately, drew this lot in this lottery.
And his palace in Wei would be sold off in this way.
Another country whose palace was sold was the State of Yan.
As for the State of Chu, their property has already been taken back by Tang Yu, and Tang Yu will not leave it to the nobles of these six states.
At this moment, the King of Chu watched as his possessions were being taken away one by one, even his bow and arrows, which he had used for decades as his private property, were being sold to others. He was filled with resentment.
Looking at these smug merchants who had come to claim his palace, he wished he could kill them all.
But he knew that if he did that, he would be courting death.
Not only did they violate the criminal law, but they also couldn't even pay Tang Yu.
That would be pure suicide.
So he managed to suppress his anger.
However, it was extremely awkward to be in one of the three palaces.
Their Wei Kingdom, once a powerful nation, has become a nation with nowhere to stand, without even a place to rest.
Fortunately, the nobles of these six countries were still relatively united.
After all, everyone has been oppressed and harmed by the Qin state. If we don't unite now, won't we all die sooner or later?
At a time like this, what are you doing here, rolling around with your mom?
The King of Zhao generously took in the King of Wei and his companions, and even provided them with lodging.
However, the King of Wei was indignant.
Why was it not you, King Zhao, who had your palace taken away, but me, King Wei?
Thinking about this, he wasn't too happy.
But things have already come to this point, and there's nothing they can do.
Looking at the dozen or so large boxes in front of him, King Wei sighed.
"Alas, a large part of this box is transformed from the palaces of my Wei Kingdom. How can I accept this?"
Hearing his words, the surrounding nobles all looked heartbroken.
Despite this, they were all very glad that their country wasn't drawn.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just be the King of Wei who was causing these problems.
but yourself.
After thinking about it, they felt that doing it this way was not a bad idea.
So the group left the box there and waited for Tang Yu to come and check it two days later.
However, what they didn't know was that their every move was being watched by Xiang Yu and his men.
At this moment, Xiang Yu looked at Tang Yu beside him with a face full of resentment.
"These damn good-for-nothings would rather give money to that guy Tang Yu than invest in me!"
Xiang Yu's words make sense.
Xiang Yu had come here to solicit investment and wanted to rebel together, but the nobles of the six states were all cowards and easily dismissed Xiang Yu, thus ending the matter.
Now, when they give Tang Yu money, they give him a huge amount at a time.
Does this mean they don't have money for fighting the war, but they have a lot of money for reparations?
Tang Yu felt a pang of sympathy for Xiang Yu when he thought about the situation Xiang Yu was facing.
He was determined to overthrow the Qin state, but his teammates were all incompetent...
It's simply impossible to carry it...
