Chapter 407 The wind rises to Beijing!Shou Zhe is doomed (ask for a monthly ticket)
……
Since Emperor Ziwei Xuandu, the Daqian royal family has had countless descendants and grandchildren.
With the change of power, the former direct line will gradually become a side branch, and occasionally a talented and brilliant person will appear in the declining side branch, allowing this line to rise again.
As the largest family in Daqian, the Wu family, like other families with a long history, has a huge population base.But the vast majority of them are not very promising. At most, they rely on the name of the royal family to occupy more resources, or help to manage some of the royal family's properties.
However, the royal family is the royal family after all, with a strong foundation and powerful strength. There are eleven princes still alive, and the number of county kings is even larger.
Among them, the lineage of Prince Dexin is currently the most powerful lineage of the royal family. There are only two princes who are in the supernatural realm, and the number of county kings has reached eighteen.
Moreover, the rising momentum of this vein is still very strong, and the future potential is far more than that.
King Kang, one of the quasi-emperor's sons, is one of the leaders of this younger generation.
The little princess Xue Ning who is now very much loved by His Majesty is also from the lineage of Prince Dexin. Her grandfather is Prince Yong'an's cousin "Rongjun King". Although Rongjun King is not as talented as Prince Yongan, he is finally There is also the position of the king of the county.
The small branch of Rongjun King is not too prosperous, and most of them are mediocre. No one has been able to rush to the Purple Mansion and inherit his mantle, so that the current Rongjun King is 650 years old. A lot died.
However, the King of Rongjun is not old at all, and when he was five hundred years old, he couldn't help but give birth to his youngest son, Wu Yingcai. blood.
Relying on the old man's love for his young wife and young son, the King of Rongjun managed to obtain blood quality improvement liquid, etc., and cultivated Wu Yingcai into a genius, and managed to marry Chen, the daughter of Daqian Chen, as his wife. .
Just wait for Wu Yingcai to reach the Purple Mansion Realm, then go to the foreign battlefield to earn some meritorious service, and then open up a county palace for him after reporting to His Majesty.At that time, his lineage will be regarded as the king of one family and two counties, and the status and power of speech in the direct lineage will be much higher.
The reason why Wu Yingcai was mentioned was because Wu Yingcai had an amazing daughter with Chen's first daughter——Wu Xuening!
Her innate aptitude is extraordinary, she also has the blood of Bailong, but she is much stronger than her father.At the age of seven or eight, as soon as the blood qualification appraisal came out, Prince Dexin of this blood was shocked, and reported to His Majesty, and then was included in the key training list of the royal family, and the treatment was top-notch.
In addition to the royal family attaching great importance to Wu Xuening, the Chen family of the third-rank family also attaches great importance to Xue Ning, the granddaughter, and often secretly subsidizes it. Although it is not comparable to the treatment of the supernatural species at home, it is also more than the resource subsidies of ordinary Zifu species.
King Rong Jun and Wu Yingcai, as well as Xue Ning's mother Chen Shi, also became popular because of Wu Xue Ning.
this day.
Rongjun Palace.
Early in the morning, the servants of Rongjun Prince's Mansion began to busily clean up, decorate with lanterns and festoons, and lay out the red carpet.
This is not a happy event, but three distinguished guests are about to visit Rongjun Palace.
The old and firm King Rong, together with his "young wife" Meng Shi, who is about 200 years old, as well as Wu Yingcai and Chen Shi, entertained the distinguished guests.
Among the three honored guests, one is Zhao Yijing, Princess of Kang County, the other is Zhao Zhikun, the supernatural power of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and Zhao Yuanqing, the young generation's arrogance of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
Needless to say, Zhao Yijing.Her status is not comparable to that of an ordinary county princess, and she has a high probability of becoming a queen in the future.
And Zhao Zhikun of An Guogong's mansion is also an outstanding and extraordinary figure, a future ancestor of supernatural powers.Moreover, he has performed well in foreign battlefields several times, and returned with a lot of military exploits. Even His Majesty praised his achievements and often rewarded him.
These are not the most important, he is now the successor carefully cultivated by the contemporary Chief Assistant Zhao Hongbo.The mainstay of the future Dagan country, the top powerful tycoon.
The Dagan state system is the rule of the world by the royal family and the aristocratic family. The bigger and stronger the aristocratic family, the more "shares" in the Dagan collective, more political influence, and more power.
Now, with only one second-rank family in Daqian, the Zhao family deserved the position of chief assistant, and this is what they deserved for their contributions to Daqian over the years.
Even if King An Jun is lucky enough to ascend to the position of Great Emperor in the future, it will be difficult to shake Zhao's position as chief assistant in a short time.It can only be weakened little by little like Emperor Longchang did to the Dagan Wang family back then, and support other families to replace them.
This is the confidence of the second-rank family.
Another young great talent, Zhao Yuanqing, is only 50 years old and has just stepped into the realm of heaven and man.According to Shang Jingcheng, he is still a young and energetic child!
At this time, Zhao Yuanqing was wearing a blue and white youth basalt outfit, and the cloth was made of the famous tribute cloth—Baiyun Lingjin cloth.
This cloth is spun from a spirit cotton produced by a spirit brocade tree that reaches the eighth rank. This spirit brocade is soft and very tough. It is not only comfortable to wear, but also provides a considerable defensive effect. .It's just that the price is extremely expensive, with an average price of 80 dry gold per set, which is more expensive than a middle-grade magic weapon!
That eighth-order spiritual brocade tree had to grow on top-quality spiritual veins of the small wood system, and needed nutrients all year round. It took ten years to produce a batch of spiritual cotton.
Even if the brocade weaving technology has been improved as much as possible, it can barely weave more than a dozen bolts of Baiyun Lingjin, and a total of one or two hundred sets of clothes can be produced, most of which are supplied to the royal family or exported to the fairy dynasty.
After all, there are too few monks who can afford the clothes made of Baiyun Lingjin.
This is not a question of whether you can afford it or not, but a question of whether you are willing or not.After all, clothes are consumables, unlike magic weapons that can be passed on for generations.
The Jin family of Guilongcheng, an inconspicuous fifth-rank family in Shangjing, has an average annual gross income of no less than tens of thousands of gold just because of the planting of this eighth-rank spirit brocade tree in the suburban manor. It is very nourishing and comfortable, which really makes many aristocratic families "envy and hate".
And Zhao Yuanqing was able to wear the Baiyun Ling Jinyi, so one can imagine how much he is favored in the Zhao family.On him, Zhao's ambition to try to achieve one of the five supernatural powers, or even the six supernatural powers, was pinned on him.
Compared to the status of the members of the Zhao family, although the members of the Rongjun Prince's Mansion belong to the royal family, they are not the main branches of the direct line after all, and their confidence is much weaker after all.The difference in real status can be reflected from the charter of their hospitality and the importance they attach to this visit.
King Rong Jun is already six or seven hundred years old, and as a Xuanwu cultivator in the Zifu Realm, he is already in his twilight years.
At this time, his beard and hair were all white, but his head was in good spirits, his face was red, and he warmly entertained the Zhao family: "Brother Zhikun, I heard that you have made great achievements in the foreign battlefield this time. With this feat If you are still alive, and after years of experience in the cabinet, you will accumulate enough reputation and contacts, and it will be more logical to take over the position of Senior Hongbo in the future. Congratulations~"
"His Royal Highness the King of the County has won the award." Zhao Zhikun said with a calm smile, "Killing the enemy on the battlefield is part of my generation. To see it with my own eyes.”
After complimenting each other a few words.
Princess Kangjun Zhao Yijing smiled slightly at Princess Rongjun and said, "Ninth Grandma, I heard that Princess Xue Ning is staying in the palace again? The ancestor really dotes on her."
Princess Meng of Rongjun was born in the fourth-rank Meng family, and the strongest ancestor in the family, Meng Yuanbai, was a third-rank member of the dynasty. He was appointed as the director of the Sancai Department, and it was a very hot time.
One of Meng Yuanbai and the Meng family is a third-rank official in the officialdom, and the other is the county princess of the royal family. They can be regarded as mutual aid, forming a relatively stable and not weak power structure.
The Meng family valued this very much back then, so they were willing to marry the young Tianjiao's daughter to the old man of King Rong.
But this position of power is far worse than Princess Kangjun's.
Even though Mrs. Meng is older and slightly older than Zhao Yijing, she is smiling all over her face at this time, showing a little flattering expression: "The inner guards came to send a message, and it was the ancestor who ordered Xue Ning to live in the palace and entertain a few children. guest."
In the entire Rongjun Prince's Mansion, the most outstanding one is of course Little Princess Xue Ning.Although Xue Ning is young, her seniority is not low, and she is of the same generation as King Kangjun Wu Chengsi.
King Rongjun is in the same generation as Prince Yong'an and King Kangjun's grandfather, King Taijun.It can be seen that the blood relationship between them is relatively close.
After chatting with each other and politely.
Princess Kangjun finally explained her intentions: "Ninth Grandfather, Ninth Grandma. Yijing is here this time to make a kiss on behalf of Yuan Qing. Yuan Qing is from the Zhao family's long lineage, with extraordinary talents, and she will probably inherit Anguo in the future. Duke's position."
say dear.
In fact, this time the Zhao family was the princess of Kangjun, Zhao Zhikun, the great genius of the Purple Mansion, and Zhao Yuanqing, the direct descendant of the Zhao family. The ceremony was so grand that the Duke of Rong and his wife, and Wu Yingcai and his wife had already expected it.
Taking a look at the young children of the current big family, there are almost no ones who are worthy of Wu Xuening, and Zhao Yuanqing is indeed one of them.
The reason why it is said to be reluctant is because Xue Ning is a great talent, and at the same time she is also a noble daughter of the royal family, and her status is more noble than the general great talent.
Generally speaking, if women are weak and men are strong in marriage, it is not uncommon for Xue Ning to marry the emperors of other imperial families, or other first-rank families, or even marry with super-rank families of the Xian Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness the King of Rongjun." Zhao Yuankun said to help, "Our Zhao family and our Prince Dexin have many marriages with each other, and the relationship is already close. If the little princess can marry Yuanqing, it will be a strong alliance. Although we Zhao The family is not as good as a first-rank family, but it is better because it is close to home. At that time, the princess Xue Ning will be the same as if she is not married, and she can return to her natal home whenever she wants."
Rongjun Wang and his wife also considered this matter. If Xue Ning married to another country or to the fairy dynasty, although her talent and status would be more suitable, she would be too far away from home after all.And the Zhao family is not bad in reality. After King Kang ascends the throne, it will also be a top family with power in the court and the public, and the interests of each other will be more closely integrated.
But Wu Xuening is not an ordinary child after all, and the benefits brought by her marriage are too involved, and they can't directly decide.
Although Rongjun Wang and his wife were a little moved after hearing this, they didn't dare to make up their minds, and said repeatedly: "I have to report this matter to the ancestor Ming Dexin, and listen to his opinion."
"His Royal Highness, Prince Rongjun, don't worry. Our ancestors have already exchanged opinions with Prince Dexin, and he is still very supportive of this." Zhao Yuankun said.
"Since the ancestors have no objections, of course I'm happy to see it come to fruition." King Rongjun said with relief.
"Okay, okay, since that's the case, then our Zhao family is ready to make a formal proposal at a certain date." Zhao Yuankun said.
On such occasions, Wu Yingcai and his wife, Wu Xuening's biological parents, hardly even have the right to speak and vote.
Wu Yingcai knew that Xue Ning's marriage would probably not be up to him, so she was mentally prepared and had no objection to Zhao Yuanqing's child, so she kept acting calm, but Chen's expression was vaguely unhappy.
It's just that in front of Concubine Kangjun and Zhao Zhikun and others, she still controlled her expression and didn't show it clearly.
After the show ended here, Wu Yingcai and his wife returned to their garden.
But Chen couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately exploded: "Wu Yingcai, that old guy is going to sell Xue Ning, and you don't even fart?"
Wu Yingcai's face was slightly astonished: "Lady, do you disagree with this marriage? I think Yuan Qing's child is very good, with good talent and potential, and he is not a picky person."
"What a fart!" Chen said angrily, "Although Xue Ning is your royal blood, she also has our Chen blood. Our ancestors gave her as a treasure, and we have to give her everything we have." She kept a copy. You are lucky to marry her to the Zhao family. Where does this move us, the Chen family?"
You must know that the Chen family now has one school and two supernatural powers, and its power and status in the court are second only to the Zhao family, and there has been a secret plan to sprint for three supernatural powers and become a second-rank family.
Despite the fact that the two aristocratic families have not had any major conflicts on the surface, in fact, they have already confronted countless times in various fields, and there is a faint sense of tit-for-tat.
"My lady... but the ancestor of Dexin also agreed." Wu Yingcai said with an unnatural expression after being scolded, "I think the ancestor must have his own ideas."
"Of course he has an idea!" This matter made Chen feel so angry that he couldn't choose what to say. "The goal that the old guy wants to achieve most now is to let King Kang succeed in succession? Therefore, he did not hesitate to send Xue Ning to the throne." Sell it to the Zhao family as a bargaining chip, so that they can put aside all scruples and go all out to support King Kangjun. By the way, he can also tie our Chen family to the warship and force us to stand in line. Why not for?"
The Zhao family is not simple, it is the only second-rank family in the Dagan Kingdom, apart from the inheritance of Emperor Lingxu, the comprehensive strength of the Zhao family is almost equal to [-]% to [-]% of the royal family.
Once the Zhao family put aside their scruples and chose to unreservedly support King Kang and oppose King An, the entire royal family with voting rights will inevitably have a little more scruples, and even His Majesty will carefully consider it.
"Wouldn't it be good if King Kang succeeded to the throne?" Wu Yingcai said, "We are very close to his blood, and we are much closer than King An. He is my cousin..."
"I won't talk about whether he succeeds or not, but why should we sacrifice our granddaughter of the Chen family to please the Zhao family?" Chen said dissatisfied, "Wu Yingcai, you should immediately go to the ancestor Dexin and say this. You do not agree to this marriage for the time being, you need to consider it!"
"What?" Wu Yingcai's face turned pale with fright, "You, you, you actually asked me to disobey Dexin's ancestor?"
"I knew you wouldn't dare." Mrs. Chen's face was extremely unfriendly, "but Patriarch Dexin has gone too far in this matter, and he doesn't take me, Mrs. Chen seriously. Mrs. Zhao is indeed Powerful, but is our Chen family so easy to bully? Our Chen family also has two ancestors with supernatural powers!"
"Although Xue Ning is of royal blood, she is still the granddaughter of our Chen family who has high hopes. Before making a decision, did he ask our ancestors for their opinions?"
"Come here, prepare the car. I want to go back to my mother's house immediately to find my brother and my ancestors."
After Mrs. Chen got mad, she immediately returned to her mother's house.
Wu Yingcai was somewhat afraid of guilt, so she hurried to follow along.His wife, Chen Shi, is not simple. Her elder brother Chen Jinglong is the contemporary supernatural power of Dagan Chen Shi, so it is impossible for him to be a simple character.
It is conceivable that after the people of the third-rank Chen family learned about this matter, they would have to go crazy again.
This matter will not be mentioned for the time being.
……
the same time period.
Changning Anjiang Guandu.
Today's Changning Anjiang Guandu has already been contracted to the Wang family, who is responsible for repairs, maintenance, and operation.Except for [-]% of the income as the contracting fee, Wang is responsible for the rest of the profit and loss.
However, under Wang's management, Anjiang Guandu has become increasingly busy, and the port has also expanded, gradually becoming the number one port in the lower reaches of Anjiang.Many goods that flowed out of Longzuo County by waterway gradually gathered in Guandu, Anjiang.
The busy business has also promoted more traveling merchants to come to pan for gold.Most of them are casual cultivators, or from the Xuanwu family who are below the ninth rank, or from the collateral lines of some families.
They travel alone, or in groups of three or four, or in groups of several people, relying on a small number of carriages to transport goods, earning sometimes meager and sometimes huge profits.
Don't underestimate the traveling merchant industry, they are far inferior to regular commercial firms in terms of transportation scale and capital.
But precisely because they struggle at the bottom all day long, face the most basic foundation of society, and are in contact with people of all kinds and religions all the time, they always have some secret information channels in their hands, and their sense of smell is often very keen.
Some powerful traveling merchants, purely in terms of sense of smell, are no worse than the shopkeepers of some regular firms.
As far as the entire Longzuo County is concerned, Changningwei is undoubtedly the place with the most opportunities to make money, and the richest places in Changningwei are of course Ping'an Town, Xin'an Town and other places.
Wang's bulk purchases come from Qian's firm, which is very good at land logistics.The purchase of small quantities of expensive goods is all operated through the Shouda Firm.
But even so, there are still countless traveling traders who smell business opportunities.
Wang's appetite for various seeds, metals, high-quality wood, strange ores, oils, and other high-quality raw materials is almost bottomless.
Although Qian's Firm and Shouda Firm took care of most of the needs, they couldn't lick the bottom of the pelvis too clean after all.And peddlers are good at going deep into the sinking market and digging out the bottom-level transactions.
They searched for the resources that the Wang family needed at the bottom of the society, and then transported them to Ping'an Town to obtain high returns.Relying on this "friendship", I will buy some special products of Wang's from Wang's, and continue to go to their sinking trivial market.Many traveling merchants have made a fortune, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger~
The Wang family also intentionally or unintentionally supported some excellent traveling merchants to fill the resource gap caused by the growing demand for raw materials.Thousands of itinerant merchants, like hardworking ants, searched for resources, and then transported them to Wang's bit by bit.
The amount each time is not large, but the total amount of resources added up is very large.
Among the traveling traders coming and going, there are two traveling traders, one old and one young.Although they are newcomers, they understand Wang's needs very well.
They have a dilapidated carriage, carrying the crude iron ingots that the Wang family wants most, as well as some high-quality cloth, musk, refined carbon, etc. that can meet the needs of the residents of the Wang family, all of which are in short supply on the Wang family's territory. goods.
When the goods were suitable, they declared the goods and checked their identities, and quickly passed the checkpoint set up by Wang's, and got the temporary pass for Ping'an Town and Xin'an Town.
After that, the two took the ferry to Ping'an Town like other traveling traders.
The dilapidated carriage was slowly driving on the wide and smooth road in Ping'an Town, away from the sight of the Wang family generals with sharp eyes who looked like they were interrogating prisoners, two traveling merchants, one big and one small, finally let go. Take a breath.
They looked around while driving the carriage, as if admiring the novel scenery of Ping'an Town which was different from other places.
One of the younger traveling merchants restrained himself and asked: "Master, I heard that the Wang family is now covering the sky in Longzuo County. It is not surprising that I saw it today. Even the passport is a maverick. Is it very easy for us to come here for an unannounced visit?" Danger?"
"I heard that there was a precedent of a tax official who went to make an unannounced visit die inexplicably in the local area."
"Don't worry, there are not [-] but [-] traveling traders who come and go in Ping'an Town every day. Not to mention that it is impossible for them to interrogate everyone's background, not to mention that our disguised identities are all real and reliable, and the security is very high. .”
"Besides, the tax evasion methods of the aristocratic family are nothing more than those. Your teacher and I have been tax officials for so many years, and these things are all clear, and we must check them out. It won't be long before we can retire. "
Hearing this, the young man regained his spirits immediately, and immediately pestered the teacher to ask about the ways the family used to evade taxes.
The old tax collector was so entangled that he had no choice but to explain it to him.
"One is 'Tibetan land in mu'." The tax official dressed as an old traveling merchant explained, "This method is simple to say. You only need to relax your hand a few feet when measuring the acres of the field, and you can measure the size of each mu. The allocated land is registered as one mu, and one portion of the land is "hidden". Such a thousand mu, ten thousand mu, the hidden land is quite considerable, and this is "hidden land in mu". Since this part of the hidden land is not included in the measured land, naturally there is no need to pay taxes."
In the early days of land reclamation, local aristocratic families had extremely high prestige in the local area, and the local government would often turn a blind eye to them. It was not difficult to do this.
"Aiming at this situation, there is a very simple solution. That is to re-measure the land. This time, I brought the latest 'portable ground ruler' launched by the engineering department, which can accurately measure the fields. When we arrive at the place, we Quietly take a test, and you will know whether Mrs. Wang has played the "hidden land in the mu". When the time comes, we will report to the top, and the three divisions will check and measure thoroughly, and we will definitely let Mrs. Wang hide it Spit out all the ground."
"Secondly, it's the 'late plowing method'." The old tax official obviously had a lot of experience, and he talked about these things clearly and logically, "This method is also simple. It is to lie about the time when opening up wasteland."
"For example, in a piece of land, in fact, it took about five years to open up and be able to cultivate land, but the aristocratic family did not report it, but delayed it for more than 50 years, and then reported it for land registration. After adding the land registration, There are 20 years of tax holidays, which is equivalent to an extra [-] years of tax holidays."
The Wang family has been opening up wasteland for decades, and it is not too simple to use this method.
"In this case, it is relatively troublesome to investigate. A detailed investigation is required. The maturity of the land must also be assessed. However, as long as it is done, there will be flaws. As long as the investigation is careful enough, you can always find it." proof."
"The third is the Lingtian tax, which is the most difficult to check. This is also the main source of tax evasion by the aristocratic family." The old tax official also had a big head when he mentioned the Lingtian tax. "The Lingtian opened by the family often has a lot of secrets. Either it is in a very secret place, or there is a formation restriction, and outsiders will never be allowed to enter, so it is extremely difficult to find out. However, if you insist on checking, it is not impossible, after all, as long as you plant spiritual materials and medicines, you will be able to find them. It is impossible to achieve no traces. For example, purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum needs to be irrigated with a spiritual spring containing Yimu spiritual energy every month. There are also many requirements for planting other spiritual medicines and spiritual materials, and most of them need to be transported into the spiritual energy from the outside. Tian, we can deduce the types of spiritual plants planted in the Lingtian based on this information."
"I see. This is indeed a good idea." The young tax officer nodded in conviction, "There are two purposes for the aristocratic family to grow spiritual plants, either for their own use, refining them into elixir, or selling them to others in exchange for their own The resources needed. If you keep an eye on their external sales channels, you should also be able to gain something. If the two phases are confirmed, the error can be controlled within a relatively small range."
"That's right, a child can be taught." The old tax official stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, obviously quite satisfied with his apprentice's inference, "However, there are certain errors in this method, and unless necessary, don't use it if you can. Our trip is for an unannounced visit, we first measure the acres of land, and then conduct a secret visit, everything is on the premise of ensuring our own safety, so we must act cautiously to avoid abusing others."
"Once the evidence is caught, it will be reported immediately."
"As for the follow-up investigation, the adults above will naturally worry about it. Don't be greedy for merit."
The most taboo thing in their line of work is to be greedy for meritorious deeds. I don't know how many tax officials who went to make unannounced visits fell on it.
The old tax official was worried that the young man would lose his sense of propriety due to his youthfulness, so he repeatedly warned him.
While talking, another carriage came from the opposite side.
The master and apprentice immediately pretended to be ordinary traveling merchants, and calmly covered up.
Soon, the master and apprentice successfully "infiltrated" Ping'an Town, and began to investigate secretly, trying to find evidence of Wang's tax evasion.It's a pity that they underestimated Wang's defense methods and the importance they attached to intelligence work after all.
If it wasn't for Wang's intentional indulgence, they would have been intercepted and caught at Guandu, Changning.
……
the same time period.
"Wangxian Pavilion" beside the imperial garden of the imperial palace.
The whole body of the pavilion is made of spiritual wood, with a height of more than tens of feet, and you can look down on most of the scenery of the imperial garden.
There are many rooms in Wangxian Pavilion, and there are also eunuchs and maids to take care of them, so the children live here and feel very comfortable.
The most important thing is that "Wangxian Pavilion" is one of the few places in the palace that is full of aura, which is quite beneficial to the growth of children.
Looking at the top of the Pavilion of Immortals.
The carved beams and painted buildings here are transparent on all sides, and it is also the place with the best view in the whole Wangxian Pavilion. It is very good to drink and have fun, recite poems and paint here, or even hold a barbecue meeting or something.
It's not talking, it's actually baking.
The chefs of the Imperial Dining Room were called over, and they were cooking all kinds of rare delicacies on the spot.
Emperor Longchang was playing chess, and his opponent was Wang Anye, no, to be precise, it was Wang Anye's master Ji Wuchen.
Among all the people present, apart from Wu Zhixing and Wu Xuening who were interested in watching the battle, people like Wang Lilong, Wang Yingxuan, and the five little wolf cubs were all staring at the barbecue, almost drooling.
"Lore!" Emperor Longchang fell down and slaughtered Wang Anye's big dragon, and he laughed very happily, "Hahaha, Anye, even with the help of Senior Ji, you can't do it. You are going to send the next wave." Who came up? Miss Wuliang, or Seventh Sister? Or, did you hide other sisters? Wahaha~"
"Hey, you are a majestic emperor, how dare you bully a child?" The seventh sister of the Legion Banner couldn't see it, and said, "Is it worth laughing so wildly when you win a 12-year-old child?"
"I am a great emperor who is about to die of old age, why can't I be rampant?" Emperor Longchang smiled triumphantly, "An Ye, I will teach you to be good. Although there is some luck in this chess game, but in the end The fight is still about accumulation and background. In the future, on your life path, don’t let yourself drift because of your smooth sailing.”
"Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty." Wang Anye got up and saluted solemnly.
"Children can be taught, much better than your great-grandfather." Emperor Longchang said as if he had met Wang Shouzhe.
During this period of time, although Emperor Longchang was very angry at the little wolf cubs they took outside.But these cub bears are bears, and they are really cute when they are cute.
He simply held this barbecue party.Is it okay to tie them all to the head office?
Sure enough, under the temptation of delicious food and his personal supervision, everyone suddenly became honest.
Apart from being naughty, these children and wolf cubs are actually not bad.Yao's triple indemnity has already been received, and the real "Afterglow of the God Dynasty" has also been obtained, except that he lost half of the Taoist artifact... This matter cannot be thought about carefully, and the heart will be blocked when it is carefully thought about.
at this time.
The inner guard came to report, saying that it was Chen Jinglong, a member of the Daqian Chen family, who asked to see the emperor.
Chen Jinglong is the supernatural power of Chen's generation. At the age of three hundred, he is already on the sixth floor of the Purple Mansion Realm, and he will definitely be one of the pillars of the future Dagan Guoting.Even now, Chen Jinglong can be regarded as a pillar of talent. He has performed well in martial arts and martial arts, and has made many contributions to Dagan.
Such a handsome man, even the emperor would pay more attention to it.
"Please come here." Emperor Longchang said to Wu Xuening with a smile, "Xuening, what kind of nose does your uncle have? He must have smelled the aroma of the barbecue I carefully prepared."
Wu Xuening rolled her eyes, but she pursed her mouth and muttered: "My mother must be afraid that I will be mischievous in the palace, so she specially asked my uncle to come and put a magic spell on me."
There are not many people she is afraid of, and Chen Jinglong is one of them.
Not long after, a mature man who looked "in his thirties" went up to Wangxian Pavilion under the leadership of his servant.
"Jinglong sees His Majesty." Chen Jinglong bowed his hands.
"Don't be too polite, Jinglong. You came just in time to play a game of chess with me. If you win, I will treat you to a meal." Emperor Longchang waved his hand kindly. After all, he valued and cultivated the younger generation, so he was naturally very kind.
"Return to Your Majesty, Jing Long is angry now, and it's hard to play chess quietly." Chen Jinglong's face was ugly, as if he was suppressing his overwhelming anger, he held back his emotions and apologized.
"Oh?" Emperor Longchang looked him up and down, "Jing Long, you are not a good person this time, this is... a complaint? You are a majestic seed of supernatural power in the middle and late stages of the Purple Mansion, a pillar of the country, who dares to bully you?"
"Your Majesty." Chen Jinglong bowed deeply, with an ugly expression on his face, "The Zhao family and Prince Dexin actually discussed to marry my niece Xue Ning to Zhao Yuanqing, the boy of the Zhao family."
"That's right, my Chen family is indeed not qualified to dictate Xue Ning's marriage. But at least we should consult our Chen family or Xue Ning's opinions beforehand, right? No matter how bad it is, we will not be seen by Prince Dexin. But he has to ask His Majesty what you mean, right? You love Xue Ning so much, and you must nod for her marriage."
"Scared?" Wu Xuening, who was just about to meet her uncle, was stunned.
What the hell?
This little princess has come out to have a barbecue, but she has already been betrothed? ?
Her pretty face was a little pale, and at this moment, she secretly glanced at Wang Anye subconsciously.Although she didn't know why she wanted to look at Wang Anye, she still looked at it instinctively.
"Hehe~"
The gentle smile on Emperor Longchang's face also gradually froze.

……
Since Emperor Ziwei Xuandu, the Daqian royal family has had countless descendants and grandchildren.
With the change of power, the former direct line will gradually become a side branch, and occasionally a talented and brilliant person will appear in the declining side branch, allowing this line to rise again.
As the largest family in Daqian, the Wu family, like other families with a long history, has a huge population base.But the vast majority of them are not very promising. At most, they rely on the name of the royal family to occupy more resources, or help to manage some of the royal family's properties.
However, the royal family is the royal family after all, with a strong foundation and powerful strength. There are eleven princes still alive, and the number of county kings is even larger.
Among them, the lineage of Prince Dexin is currently the most powerful lineage of the royal family. There are only two princes who are in the supernatural realm, and the number of county kings has reached eighteen.
Moreover, the rising momentum of this vein is still very strong, and the future potential is far more than that.
King Kang, one of the quasi-emperor's sons, is one of the leaders of this younger generation.
The little princess Xue Ning who is now very much loved by His Majesty is also from the lineage of Prince Dexin. Her grandfather is Prince Yong'an's cousin "Rongjun King". Although Rongjun King is not as talented as Prince Yongan, he is finally There is also the position of the king of the county.
The small branch of Rongjun King is not too prosperous, and most of them are mediocre. No one has been able to rush to the Purple Mansion and inherit his mantle, so that the current Rongjun King is 650 years old. A lot died.
However, the King of Rongjun is not old at all, and when he was five hundred years old, he couldn't help but give birth to his youngest son, Wu Yingcai. blood.
Relying on the old man's love for his young wife and young son, the King of Rongjun managed to obtain blood quality improvement liquid, etc., and cultivated Wu Yingcai into a genius, and managed to marry Chen, the daughter of Daqian Chen, as his wife. .
Just wait for Wu Yingcai to reach the Purple Mansion Realm, then go to the foreign battlefield to earn some meritorious service, and then open up a county palace for him after reporting to His Majesty.At that time, his lineage will be regarded as the king of one family and two counties, and the status and power of speech in the direct lineage will be much higher.
The reason why Wu Yingcai was mentioned was because Wu Yingcai had an amazing daughter with Chen's first daughter——Wu Xuening!
Her innate aptitude is extraordinary, she also has the blood of Bailong, but she is much stronger than her father.At the age of seven or eight, as soon as the blood qualification appraisal came out, Prince Dexin of this blood was shocked, and reported to His Majesty, and then was included in the key training list of the royal family, and the treatment was top-notch.
In addition to the royal family attaching great importance to Wu Xuening, the Chen family of the third-rank family also attaches great importance to Xue Ning, the granddaughter, and often secretly subsidizes it. Although it is not comparable to the treatment of the supernatural species at home, it is also more than the resource subsidies of ordinary Zifu species.
King Rong Jun and Wu Yingcai, as well as Xue Ning's mother Chen Shi, also became popular because of Wu Xue Ning.
this day.
Rongjun Palace.
Early in the morning, the servants of Rongjun Prince's Mansion began to busily clean up, decorate with lanterns and festoons, and lay out the red carpet.
This is not a happy event, but three distinguished guests are about to visit Rongjun Palace.
The old and firm King Rong, together with his "young wife" Meng Shi, who is about 200 years old, as well as Wu Yingcai and Chen Shi, entertained the distinguished guests.
Among the three honored guests, one is Zhao Yijing, Princess of Kang County, the other is Zhao Zhikun, the supernatural power of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, and Zhao Yuanqing, the young generation's arrogance of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.
Needless to say, Zhao Yijing.Her status is not comparable to that of an ordinary county princess, and she has a high probability of becoming a queen in the future.
And Zhao Zhikun of An Guogong's mansion is also an outstanding and extraordinary figure, a future ancestor of supernatural powers.Moreover, he has performed well in foreign battlefields several times, and returned with a lot of military exploits. Even His Majesty praised his achievements and often rewarded him.
These are not the most important, he is now the successor carefully cultivated by the contemporary Chief Assistant Zhao Hongbo.The mainstay of the future Dagan country, the top powerful tycoon.
The Dagan state system is the rule of the world by the royal family and the aristocratic family. The bigger and stronger the aristocratic family, the more "shares" in the Dagan collective, more political influence, and more power.
Now, with only one second-rank family in Daqian, the Zhao family deserved the position of chief assistant, and this is what they deserved for their contributions to Daqian over the years.
Even if King An Jun is lucky enough to ascend to the position of Great Emperor in the future, it will be difficult to shake Zhao's position as chief assistant in a short time.It can only be weakened little by little like Emperor Longchang did to the Dagan Wang family back then, and support other families to replace them.
This is the confidence of the second-rank family.
Another young great talent, Zhao Yuanqing, is only 50 years old and has just stepped into the realm of heaven and man.According to Shang Jingcheng, he is still a young and energetic child!
At this time, Zhao Yuanqing was wearing a blue and white youth basalt outfit, and the cloth was made of the famous tribute cloth—Baiyun Lingjin cloth.
This cloth is spun from a spirit cotton produced by a spirit brocade tree that reaches the eighth rank. This spirit brocade is soft and very tough. It is not only comfortable to wear, but also provides a considerable defensive effect. .It's just that the price is extremely expensive, with an average price of 80 dry gold per set, which is more expensive than a middle-grade magic weapon!
That eighth-order spiritual brocade tree had to grow on top-quality spiritual veins of the small wood system, and needed nutrients all year round. It took ten years to produce a batch of spiritual cotton.
Even if the brocade weaving technology has been improved as much as possible, it can barely weave more than a dozen bolts of Baiyun Lingjin, and a total of one or two hundred sets of clothes can be produced, most of which are supplied to the royal family or exported to the fairy dynasty.
After all, there are too few monks who can afford the clothes made of Baiyun Lingjin.
This is not a question of whether you can afford it or not, but a question of whether you are willing or not.After all, clothes are consumables, unlike magic weapons that can be passed on for generations.
The Jin family of Guilongcheng, an inconspicuous fifth-rank family in Shangjing, has an average annual gross income of no less than tens of thousands of gold just because of the planting of this eighth-rank spirit brocade tree in the suburban manor. It is very nourishing and comfortable, which really makes many aristocratic families "envy and hate".
And Zhao Yuanqing was able to wear the Baiyun Ling Jinyi, so one can imagine how much he is favored in the Zhao family.On him, Zhao's ambition to try to achieve one of the five supernatural powers, or even the six supernatural powers, was pinned on him.
Compared to the status of the members of the Zhao family, although the members of the Rongjun Prince's Mansion belong to the royal family, they are not the main branches of the direct line after all, and their confidence is much weaker after all.The difference in real status can be reflected from the charter of their hospitality and the importance they attach to this visit.
King Rong Jun is already six or seven hundred years old, and as a Xuanwu cultivator in the Zifu Realm, he is already in his twilight years.
At this time, his beard and hair were all white, but his head was in good spirits, his face was red, and he warmly entertained the Zhao family: "Brother Zhikun, I heard that you have made great achievements in the foreign battlefield this time. With this feat If you are still alive, and after years of experience in the cabinet, you will accumulate enough reputation and contacts, and it will be more logical to take over the position of Senior Hongbo in the future. Congratulations~"
"His Royal Highness the King of the County has won the award." Zhao Zhikun said with a calm smile, "Killing the enemy on the battlefield is part of my generation. To see it with my own eyes.”
After complimenting each other a few words.
Princess Kangjun Zhao Yijing smiled slightly at Princess Rongjun and said, "Ninth Grandma, I heard that Princess Xue Ning is staying in the palace again? The ancestor really dotes on her."
Princess Meng of Rongjun was born in the fourth-rank Meng family, and the strongest ancestor in the family, Meng Yuanbai, was a third-rank member of the dynasty. He was appointed as the director of the Sancai Department, and it was a very hot time.
One of Meng Yuanbai and the Meng family is a third-rank official in the officialdom, and the other is the county princess of the royal family. They can be regarded as mutual aid, forming a relatively stable and not weak power structure.
The Meng family valued this very much back then, so they were willing to marry the young Tianjiao's daughter to the old man of King Rong.
But this position of power is far worse than Princess Kangjun's.
Even though Mrs. Meng is older and slightly older than Zhao Yijing, she is smiling all over her face at this time, showing a little flattering expression: "The inner guards came to send a message, and it was the ancestor who ordered Xue Ning to live in the palace and entertain a few children. guest."
In the entire Rongjun Prince's Mansion, the most outstanding one is of course Little Princess Xue Ning.Although Xue Ning is young, her seniority is not low, and she is of the same generation as King Kangjun Wu Chengsi.
King Rongjun is in the same generation as Prince Yong'an and King Kangjun's grandfather, King Taijun.It can be seen that the blood relationship between them is relatively close.
After chatting with each other and politely.
Princess Kangjun finally explained her intentions: "Ninth Grandfather, Ninth Grandma. Yijing is here this time to make a kiss on behalf of Yuan Qing. Yuan Qing is from the Zhao family's long lineage, with extraordinary talents, and she will probably inherit Anguo in the future. Duke's position."
say dear.
In fact, this time the Zhao family was the princess of Kangjun, Zhao Zhikun, the great genius of the Purple Mansion, and Zhao Yuanqing, the direct descendant of the Zhao family. The ceremony was so grand that the Duke of Rong and his wife, and Wu Yingcai and his wife had already expected it.
Taking a look at the young children of the current big family, there are almost no ones who are worthy of Wu Xuening, and Zhao Yuanqing is indeed one of them.
The reason why it is said to be reluctant is because Xue Ning is a great talent, and at the same time she is also a noble daughter of the royal family, and her status is more noble than the general great talent.
Generally speaking, if women are weak and men are strong in marriage, it is not uncommon for Xue Ning to marry the emperors of other imperial families, or other first-rank families, or even marry with super-rank families of the Xian Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness the King of Rongjun." Zhao Yuankun said to help, "Our Zhao family and our Prince Dexin have many marriages with each other, and the relationship is already close. If the little princess can marry Yuanqing, it will be a strong alliance. Although we Zhao The family is not as good as a first-rank family, but it is better because it is close to home. At that time, the princess Xue Ning will be the same as if she is not married, and she can return to her natal home whenever she wants."
Rongjun Wang and his wife also considered this matter. If Xue Ning married to another country or to the fairy dynasty, although her talent and status would be more suitable, she would be too far away from home after all.And the Zhao family is not bad in reality. After King Kang ascends the throne, it will also be a top family with power in the court and the public, and the interests of each other will be more closely integrated.
But Wu Xuening is not an ordinary child after all, and the benefits brought by her marriage are too involved, and they can't directly decide.
Although Rongjun Wang and his wife were a little moved after hearing this, they didn't dare to make up their minds, and said repeatedly: "I have to report this matter to the ancestor Ming Dexin, and listen to his opinion."
"His Royal Highness, Prince Rongjun, don't worry. Our ancestors have already exchanged opinions with Prince Dexin, and he is still very supportive of this." Zhao Yuankun said.
"Since the ancestors have no objections, of course I'm happy to see it come to fruition." King Rongjun said with relief.
"Okay, okay, since that's the case, then our Zhao family is ready to make a formal proposal at a certain date." Zhao Yuankun said.
On such occasions, Wu Yingcai and his wife, Wu Xuening's biological parents, hardly even have the right to speak and vote.
Wu Yingcai knew that Xue Ning's marriage would probably not be up to him, so she was mentally prepared and had no objection to Zhao Yuanqing's child, so she kept acting calm, but Chen's expression was vaguely unhappy.
It's just that in front of Concubine Kangjun and Zhao Zhikun and others, she still controlled her expression and didn't show it clearly.
After the show ended here, Wu Yingcai and his wife returned to their garden.
But Chen couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately exploded: "Wu Yingcai, that old guy is going to sell Xue Ning, and you don't even fart?"
Wu Yingcai's face was slightly astonished: "Lady, do you disagree with this marriage? I think Yuan Qing's child is very good, with good talent and potential, and he is not a picky person."
"What a fart!" Chen said angrily, "Although Xue Ning is your royal blood, she also has our Chen blood. Our ancestors gave her as a treasure, and we have to give her everything we have." She kept a copy. You are lucky to marry her to the Zhao family. Where does this move us, the Chen family?"
You must know that the Chen family now has one school and two supernatural powers, and its power and status in the court are second only to the Zhao family, and there has been a secret plan to sprint for three supernatural powers and become a second-rank family.
Despite the fact that the two aristocratic families have not had any major conflicts on the surface, in fact, they have already confronted countless times in various fields, and there is a faint sense of tit-for-tat.
"My lady... but the ancestor of Dexin also agreed." Wu Yingcai said with an unnatural expression after being scolded, "I think the ancestor must have his own ideas."
"Of course he has an idea!" This matter made Chen feel so angry that he couldn't choose what to say. "The goal that the old guy wants to achieve most now is to let King Kang succeed in succession? Therefore, he did not hesitate to send Xue Ning to the throne." Sell it to the Zhao family as a bargaining chip, so that they can put aside all scruples and go all out to support King Kangjun. By the way, he can also tie our Chen family to the warship and force us to stand in line. Why not for?"
The Zhao family is not simple, it is the only second-rank family in the Dagan Kingdom, apart from the inheritance of Emperor Lingxu, the comprehensive strength of the Zhao family is almost equal to [-]% to [-]% of the royal family.
Once the Zhao family put aside their scruples and chose to unreservedly support King Kang and oppose King An, the entire royal family with voting rights will inevitably have a little more scruples, and even His Majesty will carefully consider it.
"Wouldn't it be good if King Kang succeeded to the throne?" Wu Yingcai said, "We are very close to his blood, and we are much closer than King An. He is my cousin..."
"I won't talk about whether he succeeds or not, but why should we sacrifice our granddaughter of the Chen family to please the Zhao family?" Chen said dissatisfied, "Wu Yingcai, you should immediately go to the ancestor Dexin and say this. You do not agree to this marriage for the time being, you need to consider it!"
"What?" Wu Yingcai's face turned pale with fright, "You, you, you actually asked me to disobey Dexin's ancestor?"
"I knew you wouldn't dare." Mrs. Chen's face was extremely unfriendly, "but Patriarch Dexin has gone too far in this matter, and he doesn't take me, Mrs. Chen seriously. Mrs. Zhao is indeed Powerful, but is our Chen family so easy to bully? Our Chen family also has two ancestors with supernatural powers!"
"Although Xue Ning is of royal blood, she is still the granddaughter of our Chen family who has high hopes. Before making a decision, did he ask our ancestors for their opinions?"
"Come here, prepare the car. I want to go back to my mother's house immediately to find my brother and my ancestors."
After Mrs. Chen got mad, she immediately returned to her mother's house.
Wu Yingcai was somewhat afraid of guilt, so she hurried to follow along.His wife, Chen Shi, is not simple. Her elder brother Chen Jinglong is the contemporary supernatural power of Dagan Chen Shi, so it is impossible for him to be a simple character.
It is conceivable that after the people of the third-rank Chen family learned about this matter, they would have to go crazy again.
This matter will not be mentioned for the time being.
……
the same time period.
Changning Anjiang Guandu.
Today's Changning Anjiang Guandu has already been contracted to the Wang family, who is responsible for repairs, maintenance, and operation.Except for [-]% of the income as the contracting fee, Wang is responsible for the rest of the profit and loss.
However, under Wang's management, Anjiang Guandu has become increasingly busy, and the port has also expanded, gradually becoming the number one port in the lower reaches of Anjiang.Many goods that flowed out of Longzuo County by waterway gradually gathered in Guandu, Anjiang.
The busy business has also promoted more traveling merchants to come to pan for gold.Most of them are casual cultivators, or from the Xuanwu family who are below the ninth rank, or from the collateral lines of some families.
They travel alone, or in groups of three or four, or in groups of several people, relying on a small number of carriages to transport goods, earning sometimes meager and sometimes huge profits.
Don't underestimate the traveling merchant industry, they are far inferior to regular commercial firms in terms of transportation scale and capital.
But precisely because they struggle at the bottom all day long, face the most basic foundation of society, and are in contact with people of all kinds and religions all the time, they always have some secret information channels in their hands, and their sense of smell is often very keen.
Some powerful traveling merchants, purely in terms of sense of smell, are no worse than the shopkeepers of some regular firms.
As far as the entire Longzuo County is concerned, Changningwei is undoubtedly the place with the most opportunities to make money, and the richest places in Changningwei are of course Ping'an Town, Xin'an Town and other places.
Wang's bulk purchases come from Qian's firm, which is very good at land logistics.The purchase of small quantities of expensive goods is all operated through the Shouda Firm.
But even so, there are still countless traveling traders who smell business opportunities.
Wang's appetite for various seeds, metals, high-quality wood, strange ores, oils, and other high-quality raw materials is almost bottomless.
Although Qian's Firm and Shouda Firm took care of most of the needs, they couldn't lick the bottom of the pelvis too clean after all.And peddlers are good at going deep into the sinking market and digging out the bottom-level transactions.
They searched for the resources that the Wang family needed at the bottom of the society, and then transported them to Ping'an Town to obtain high returns.Relying on this "friendship", I will buy some special products of Wang's from Wang's, and continue to go to their sinking trivial market.Many traveling merchants have made a fortune, and the scale is getting bigger and bigger~
The Wang family also intentionally or unintentionally supported some excellent traveling merchants to fill the resource gap caused by the growing demand for raw materials.Thousands of itinerant merchants, like hardworking ants, searched for resources, and then transported them to Wang's bit by bit.
The amount each time is not large, but the total amount of resources added up is very large.
Among the traveling traders coming and going, there are two traveling traders, one old and one young.Although they are newcomers, they understand Wang's needs very well.
They have a dilapidated carriage, carrying the crude iron ingots that the Wang family wants most, as well as some high-quality cloth, musk, refined carbon, etc. that can meet the needs of the residents of the Wang family, all of which are in short supply on the Wang family's territory. goods.
When the goods were suitable, they declared the goods and checked their identities, and quickly passed the checkpoint set up by Wang's, and got the temporary pass for Ping'an Town and Xin'an Town.
After that, the two took the ferry to Ping'an Town like other traveling traders.
The dilapidated carriage was slowly driving on the wide and smooth road in Ping'an Town, away from the sight of the Wang family generals with sharp eyes who looked like they were interrogating prisoners, two traveling merchants, one big and one small, finally let go. Take a breath.
They looked around while driving the carriage, as if admiring the novel scenery of Ping'an Town which was different from other places.
One of the younger traveling merchants restrained himself and asked: "Master, I heard that the Wang family is now covering the sky in Longzuo County. It is not surprising that I saw it today. Even the passport is a maverick. Is it very easy for us to come here for an unannounced visit?" Danger?"
"I heard that there was a precedent of a tax official who went to make an unannounced visit die inexplicably in the local area."
"Don't worry, there are not [-] but [-] traveling traders who come and go in Ping'an Town every day. Not to mention that it is impossible for them to interrogate everyone's background, not to mention that our disguised identities are all real and reliable, and the security is very high. .”
"Besides, the tax evasion methods of the aristocratic family are nothing more than those. Your teacher and I have been tax officials for so many years, and these things are all clear, and we must check them out. It won't be long before we can retire. "
Hearing this, the young man regained his spirits immediately, and immediately pestered the teacher to ask about the ways the family used to evade taxes.
The old tax collector was so entangled that he had no choice but to explain it to him.
"One is 'Tibetan land in mu'." The tax official dressed as an old traveling merchant explained, "This method is simple to say. You only need to relax your hand a few feet when measuring the acres of the field, and you can measure the size of each mu. The allocated land is registered as one mu, and one portion of the land is "hidden". Such a thousand mu, ten thousand mu, the hidden land is quite considerable, and this is "hidden land in mu". Since this part of the hidden land is not included in the measured land, naturally there is no need to pay taxes."
In the early days of land reclamation, local aristocratic families had extremely high prestige in the local area, and the local government would often turn a blind eye to them. It was not difficult to do this.
"Aiming at this situation, there is a very simple solution. That is to re-measure the land. This time, I brought the latest 'portable ground ruler' launched by the engineering department, which can accurately measure the fields. When we arrive at the place, we Quietly take a test, and you will know whether Mrs. Wang has played the "hidden land in the mu". When the time comes, we will report to the top, and the three divisions will check and measure thoroughly, and we will definitely let Mrs. Wang hide it Spit out all the ground."
"Secondly, it's the 'late plowing method'." The old tax official obviously had a lot of experience, and he talked about these things clearly and logically, "This method is also simple. It is to lie about the time when opening up wasteland."
"For example, in a piece of land, in fact, it took about five years to open up and be able to cultivate land, but the aristocratic family did not report it, but delayed it for more than 50 years, and then reported it for land registration. After adding the land registration, There are 20 years of tax holidays, which is equivalent to an extra [-] years of tax holidays."
The Wang family has been opening up wasteland for decades, and it is not too simple to use this method.
"In this case, it is relatively troublesome to investigate. A detailed investigation is required. The maturity of the land must also be assessed. However, as long as it is done, there will be flaws. As long as the investigation is careful enough, you can always find it." proof."
"The third is the Lingtian tax, which is the most difficult to check. This is also the main source of tax evasion by the aristocratic family." The old tax official also had a big head when he mentioned the Lingtian tax. "The Lingtian opened by the family often has a lot of secrets. Either it is in a very secret place, or there is a formation restriction, and outsiders will never be allowed to enter, so it is extremely difficult to find out. However, if you insist on checking, it is not impossible, after all, as long as you plant spiritual materials and medicines, you will be able to find them. It is impossible to achieve no traces. For example, purple-leaf Polygonum multiflorum needs to be irrigated with a spiritual spring containing Yimu spiritual energy every month. There are also many requirements for planting other spiritual medicines and spiritual materials, and most of them need to be transported into the spiritual energy from the outside. Tian, we can deduce the types of spiritual plants planted in the Lingtian based on this information."
"I see. This is indeed a good idea." The young tax officer nodded in conviction, "There are two purposes for the aristocratic family to grow spiritual plants, either for their own use, refining them into elixir, or selling them to others in exchange for their own The resources needed. If you keep an eye on their external sales channels, you should also be able to gain something. If the two phases are confirmed, the error can be controlled within a relatively small range."
"That's right, a child can be taught." The old tax official stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, obviously quite satisfied with his apprentice's inference, "However, there are certain errors in this method, and unless necessary, don't use it if you can. Our trip is for an unannounced visit, we first measure the acres of land, and then conduct a secret visit, everything is on the premise of ensuring our own safety, so we must act cautiously to avoid abusing others."
"Once the evidence is caught, it will be reported immediately."
"As for the follow-up investigation, the adults above will naturally worry about it. Don't be greedy for merit."
The most taboo thing in their line of work is to be greedy for meritorious deeds. I don't know how many tax officials who went to make unannounced visits fell on it.
The old tax official was worried that the young man would lose his sense of propriety due to his youthfulness, so he repeatedly warned him.
While talking, another carriage came from the opposite side.
The master and apprentice immediately pretended to be ordinary traveling merchants, and calmly covered up.
Soon, the master and apprentice successfully "infiltrated" Ping'an Town, and began to investigate secretly, trying to find evidence of Wang's tax evasion.It's a pity that they underestimated Wang's defense methods and the importance they attached to intelligence work after all.
If it wasn't for Wang's intentional indulgence, they would have been intercepted and caught at Guandu, Changning.
……
the same time period.
"Wangxian Pavilion" beside the imperial garden of the imperial palace.
The whole body of the pavilion is made of spiritual wood, with a height of more than tens of feet, and you can look down on most of the scenery of the imperial garden.
There are many rooms in Wangxian Pavilion, and there are also eunuchs and maids to take care of them, so the children live here and feel very comfortable.
The most important thing is that "Wangxian Pavilion" is one of the few places in the palace that is full of aura, which is quite beneficial to the growth of children.
Looking at the top of the Pavilion of Immortals.
The carved beams and painted buildings here are transparent on all sides, and it is also the place with the best view in the whole Wangxian Pavilion. It is very good to drink and have fun, recite poems and paint here, or even hold a barbecue meeting or something.
It's not talking, it's actually baking.
The chefs of the Imperial Dining Room were called over, and they were cooking all kinds of rare delicacies on the spot.
Emperor Longchang was playing chess, and his opponent was Wang Anye, no, to be precise, it was Wang Anye's master Ji Wuchen.
Among all the people present, apart from Wu Zhixing and Wu Xuening who were interested in watching the battle, people like Wang Lilong, Wang Yingxuan, and the five little wolf cubs were all staring at the barbecue, almost drooling.
"Lore!" Emperor Longchang fell down and slaughtered Wang Anye's big dragon, and he laughed very happily, "Hahaha, Anye, even with the help of Senior Ji, you can't do it. You are going to send the next wave." Who came up? Miss Wuliang, or Seventh Sister? Or, did you hide other sisters? Wahaha~"
"Hey, you are a majestic emperor, how dare you bully a child?" The seventh sister of the Legion Banner couldn't see it, and said, "Is it worth laughing so wildly when you win a 12-year-old child?"
"I am a great emperor who is about to die of old age, why can't I be rampant?" Emperor Longchang smiled triumphantly, "An Ye, I will teach you to be good. Although there is some luck in this chess game, but in the end The fight is still about accumulation and background. In the future, on your life path, don’t let yourself drift because of your smooth sailing.”
"Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty." Wang Anye got up and saluted solemnly.
"Children can be taught, much better than your great-grandfather." Emperor Longchang said as if he had met Wang Shouzhe.
During this period of time, although Emperor Longchang was very angry at the little wolf cubs they took outside.But these cub bears are bears, and they are really cute when they are cute.
He simply held this barbecue party.Is it okay to tie them all to the head office?
Sure enough, under the temptation of delicious food and his personal supervision, everyone suddenly became honest.
Apart from being naughty, these children and wolf cubs are actually not bad.Yao's triple indemnity has already been received, and the real "Afterglow of the God Dynasty" has also been obtained, except that he lost half of the Taoist artifact... This matter cannot be thought about carefully, and the heart will be blocked when it is carefully thought about.
at this time.
The inner guard came to report, saying that it was Chen Jinglong, a member of the Daqian Chen family, who asked to see the emperor.
Chen Jinglong is the supernatural power of Chen's generation. At the age of three hundred, he is already on the sixth floor of the Purple Mansion Realm, and he will definitely be one of the pillars of the future Dagan Guoting.Even now, Chen Jinglong can be regarded as a pillar of talent. He has performed well in martial arts and martial arts, and has made many contributions to Dagan.
Such a handsome man, even the emperor would pay more attention to it.
"Please come here." Emperor Longchang said to Wu Xuening with a smile, "Xuening, what kind of nose does your uncle have? He must have smelled the aroma of the barbecue I carefully prepared."
Wu Xuening rolled her eyes, but she pursed her mouth and muttered: "My mother must be afraid that I will be mischievous in the palace, so she specially asked my uncle to come and put a magic spell on me."
There are not many people she is afraid of, and Chen Jinglong is one of them.
Not long after, a mature man who looked "in his thirties" went up to Wangxian Pavilion under the leadership of his servant.
"Jinglong sees His Majesty." Chen Jinglong bowed his hands.
"Don't be too polite, Jinglong. You came just in time to play a game of chess with me. If you win, I will treat you to a meal." Emperor Longchang waved his hand kindly. After all, he valued and cultivated the younger generation, so he was naturally very kind.
"Return to Your Majesty, Jing Long is angry now, and it's hard to play chess quietly." Chen Jinglong's face was ugly, as if he was suppressing his overwhelming anger, he held back his emotions and apologized.
"Oh?" Emperor Longchang looked him up and down, "Jing Long, you are not a good person this time, this is... a complaint? You are a majestic seed of supernatural power in the middle and late stages of the Purple Mansion, a pillar of the country, who dares to bully you?"
"Your Majesty." Chen Jinglong bowed deeply, with an ugly expression on his face, "The Zhao family and Prince Dexin actually discussed to marry my niece Xue Ning to Zhao Yuanqing, the boy of the Zhao family."
"That's right, my Chen family is indeed not qualified to dictate Xue Ning's marriage. But at least we should consult our Chen family or Xue Ning's opinions beforehand, right? No matter how bad it is, we will not be seen by Prince Dexin. But he has to ask His Majesty what you mean, right? You love Xue Ning so much, and you must nod for her marriage."
"Scared?" Wu Xuening, who was just about to meet her uncle, was stunned.
What the hell?
This little princess has come out to have a barbecue, but she has already been betrothed? ?
