Fortunately, Mo Chenbo saw the opportunity quickly and rushed forward to support him. Now Mo Chenbo was also afraid. After holding Mo Zhinian, he hurriedly knelt on the ground, "The child was unfilial and contradicted his father in a hurry... Please punish him!"

Mo Zhengan pointed at Mo Chenbo with his fingers tremblingly. He wanted to scold him, but couldn't. After a while, he sighed quietly, "A fool... The power struggle is like a boat against the current and he will retreat... How many people have the Mo family offended in the past seven or eight years? How many people have they offended for him? How many people have they offended for doing things for him??"

"...Do you know why those people hate Mo Jia so much that they gritted their teeth, but they dared not have any abnormal movement?"

"Please give me advice!"

"Because Qing'er is the concubine..." Mo Zhengan stomped her feet with regret.

Mo Chenbo was stunned, "But Qing'er, she is still a concubine now!"

"Oh..." Looking at this unintentional son, Mo Zhinian sighed, "If he ascended the throne, how many concubines would he be? Who can stop him... But there is only one queen! Those people are not afraid of the Mo family having a concubine, but fear that the concubine with the Mo family backing will one day become a mother in the world... Do you understand!!!"

Mo Zhinian said in the end, he was already stomping his feet and hoarsely.

Mo Chenbo finally understood what his father meant, yes, the emperor, the queen, three thousand beauties, and there are many concubines. A concubine is really nothing. Besides, the shelf life of a woman's beauty is too short. Who can guarantee that the emperor's favor will last ten years?

If you really lose your favor, the imperial concubine, that's nothing!

"If it really comes to that time..." Mo Zhinian's eyes were blurred and he looked sad, "Those people would pounce on the Mo family like evil wolf... tore the Mo family to pieces!"

This is reasonable. The money falls down and the wall falls down and everyone pushes it. What's more, blocking people's wealth is like killing their parents. The Mo family has become the biggest beneficiary in Jiangnan and even the world. How can they not be hated and jealous?

"...I underestimated him after all!" Mo Zhinian burst into tears, "I think I have admired him highly, but in the end... I underestimated him... He is not a human being!"

Seeing his father so painful, Mo Chenbo comforted, "Father, be relieved, this matter has not yet become a reality... Besides, the Mo family is not completely powerless to fight back... In recent years, the firearms that the child obeyed his father's orders and secretly intercepted were enough to equip tens of thousands of troops... When the King of Wu ordered Ma Shiying to trade firearms secretly to the Qing court, he also accepted countless price differences. The child had roughly estimated that it should be no less than 30 million taels...!"

Mo Yunian heard it and widened his eyes, "...it's only 30 million taels?"

Mo Chenbo was stunned and quickly explained, "It should have been more than this number... But my father also knew that starting from the New Year, the King of Wu led the army to the Northern Expedition, and the financial resources of the Finance Department had already bottomed out... Therefore, there has been almost no opportunity to take advantage of this year!"

Mo Zhinian sighed, "Yes, it would be great if the Northern Expedition was one or two years later... it would be great! Unfortunately, he suddenly insisted on launching the Northern Expedition and did not listen to my advice at all... I think about it today, I guess he had already noticed it at that time!"

"What my father said is..."

"The most hateful ones... are Chen Zilong, Qian Sule and others!" Mo Zhinian said angrily, "If they hadn't suddenly welcomed King Lu ashore... how could he have attracted his attention... Alas... It's up to people to plan, but it's up to God to succeed!"

Mo Chenbo looked at Mo Jienian and said carefully, "Now the King of Wu issued three decrees... Except for the last one, the first two were obviously for our family... All the workshops in our family are no less than a thousand. If this is registered, the commercial tax that must be paid every year will be a huge amount... and increasing the incoming and outgoing tariffs has greatly weakened the profits of our family's maritime trade. According to the changed commercial tax, our family may not be able to support so many merchant fleets!"

Mo obsessed with listening silently, listening to his son finishing his words.

Suddenly he smiled, "Since the literary battle cannot be completed, then you might as well come to martial arts..."

Mo Chenbo urged: "...father, the child still thinks that stopping and reconciling with the King of Wu may save the lives of the second and third brothers...!"

Mo Zhinian slowly looked up, and said bitterly, "It's too late... Your father is by his side for many years, and he still thinks he still understands his nature... From the moment your second and third brother assassinate the princess, there is no room for turning back..."

"But...but once the King of Wu takes action, our family is probably...!"

"So... I need to find a helper!" Mo Zhennian said leisurely, "He thought that the three orders could not move the Mo family, but he did not understand that these three orders were enough to make the entire Jiangnan merchants and wealthy families regard him as enemies..."

At this time, a servant came to report, "Report to the Prime Minister... Please see Eunuch Pang in the palace!"

Mo Jienian smiled, her face shaped like a ravine was squeezed like an old tree bark, "Look... isn't this coming?!"

"Then the kid takes his leave first."

He glanced at his son and Mo Jienian said, "No need, you are here to listen... Dad has been happy for a few years, and the Mo family is yours after all!"

Mo Chenbo lowered his head and replied, "It's... the child listened to his father!"

....

"Eunuch Pang..."

"Don't...!"

The two of them looked extremely enthusiastic when they met like old friends they hadn't seen each other for many years.

"Pang Eunuch Pang please!"

"Please, please!"

After a brief silence, Pang Tianshou got to the point.

"Mo Xiang thought he should know the three decrees issued by the King of Wu, right?"

Mo Zhinian replied with a smile, "I just heard that... Eunuch Pang came specifically for this matter?"

"No!" Pang Tianshou sighed lightly, "Your Majesty was furious when he heard about this... As a minister and a servant, don't you think of your worries?"

Mo Meng stood up suddenly, bowed to the palace, then sat back, and said, "Eunuch Pang said very well, but... I can't find a suitable solution for a while. After all, that's the territory under the name of King Wu!"

"Mo Xiang's words are inappropriate. You know, it is under the world, and it is the king's land..." Pang Tianshou said seriously.

Mo Zhinian looked strange, but said, "Eunuch Pang pointed out that Zhengji is... I am old and confused, and I have lost my words!"

Pang Tianshou laughed, "Don't be too concerned about yourself...but there must be a solution to this matter. Otherwise, the flow of the weaving department under the command of Your Majesty is probably worse than before. In this way...!"

Speaking of this, Pang Tianshou looked at Mo Chenbo inadvertently.

Mo Zhinian hurriedly smiled and said, "Eunuch Pang doesn't have to worry about it... I am old, and the Mo family will always be passed on to the dog. Besides, the dog has been taking care of everything for the dog."

A trace of complexity flashed in Pang Tianshou's eyes and said with a smile, "The tiger father has no dog son... The man is so majestic that he will be in the court in the future!"

"Thank you the auspicious words of Eunuch Pang!"
