Ah!
After hearing Qin Yu's explanation, the Hun King's eyes widened and he remained silent for a long time, obviously shocked.
How did his daughter meet this young man? He is not only calm and composed, but also has no fear even when facing the Hun Zhong. He even dares to speak freely in front of him, which is very important for the situation of the Xiongnu!
No, I must test this young man carefully. If he really has real talent and knowledge, I don’t mind letting him be my son-in-law!
Isn’t the Crown Prince of Daliang very powerful? If this young man’s talent is comparable to that of the Crown Prince of Daliang, then the Xiongnu will surely be stable for the next hundred years, and may even become a dynasty that is no weaker than Daliang!
"Even if it's as you said, you still haven't helped me solve the most crucial problem. My Xiongnu treasury is empty, and I can't even pay the officials' salaries. How can I solve this problem?"
The Hun King said coldly.
"Let me put it this way. Compare the Xiongnu to a large water tank. The amount of water this tank can hold is fixed. If you take some, and he takes some, then the water in the tank is gone."
"However, no matter how the water in this water tank was lost, the amount of water it can store each year is fixed. The Xiongnu court is unable to make ends meet and the treasury is empty, so there must be someone else who is getting richer!"
"As the King of the Huns, don't tell me that you don't even know whose hands the enemy is in!"
Qin Yu looked at the Xiongnu King and asked in a deep voice.
The Xiongnu King looked at Qin Yu with an expression of disbelief. If he had not seen this young man before, he would have seriously doubted whether this young man was the prime minister of the Xiongnu Kingdom. He must have known too much about the situation in the Xiongnu Kingdom!
"Your analysis is correct. The richest man in the Xiongnu Kingdom is King Hun Zhong. Almost all of our Xiongnu's wealth has fallen into his hands. But I am helpless. Hun Zhong has many supporters in the court. Even I don't know how he embezzled all this money!"
The Xiongnu king looked ashamed.
When Jin Yunen thought of the tyranny of Hun Tuo and Hun Zhong, a hint of anger flashed across his face. If it weren't for the financial emptiness of the Xiongnu Kingdom, his father would never have been so tolerant of Hun Zhong and would have taken ruthless action against them long ago!
After hearing this, Qin Yu smiled and said, "Let me ask you again, how much silver do the officials of your Xiongnu Kingdom receive?"
"Our Xiongnu nation has always promoted clean governance. The annual salary of a seventh-rank official shall not exceed twenty taels, and the annual salary of a third-rank official shall not exceed three hundred taels."
The Hun King said with a smug look on his face.
The official system of their Xiongnu Kingdom was completely based on that of Daliang, but it was better than that of Daliang because they implemented clean government!
The officials are all incorruptible and work hard for the people. This is why the Xiongnu has become increasingly powerful while Daliang has become increasingly weak in the past few decades!
If it weren't for the emergence of a prince in Daliang, the situation would be completely different now. The Huns could have counterattacked Daliang and replaced it!
"Stupid! So stupid!"
Qin Yu sneered.
"How dare you call our Xiongnu King foolish!"
"Hmph! Where did you come from, you brat? You think you know a few books and dare to speak nonsense here? Kneel down and apologize to His Majesty the King of the Xiongnu immediately, otherwise, I will kill you!"
"Even if you are Princess Jin Yunen's friend, we will never allow you to speak nonsense here!"
