Hearing Wu Dalie's words, Wu Zhongyuan stopped and turned around, "Oh?"

"We stumbled upon some clues, most likely related to the Golden Dragon Armor. Wu Dalie said.

"Golden Dragon Armor?" Wu Zhongyuan repeated, he had only mentioned the matter of Golden Dragon Armor to the old blind man, and the others did not know about it, and Wu Dalie should not know about it.

"Exactly," Wu Dalie stretched out his right hand forward, signaling as he walked, and said in a low voice, "The golden dragon armor was originally the armor worn by the human emperor Fuxi, according to legend, it was made of golden dragon dragon scales, extremely hard, and very strange, after Fuxi was leveled by the six paths, this set of magical armor disappeared, this time we got some clues by chance, if we can follow the clues to find the golden dragon armor, it can also add a lot of help to the holy battle against the five paths." ”

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, just nodded, it was evening at this time, there were many pedestrians on the street, and such a major matter should not be discussed on the street.

Wu Dalie may also have the same idea, and did not continue to speak, but took Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Qing to the city lord's mansion, and reported to Wu Zhongyuan when he walked on the business situation of the Drinking Horse River in the past six months, in the early years of the East China Sea, the West Desert, the Northern Xinjiang, and the Southern Wilderness, each had a larger exchange market, which was Qingxu, Lianshanjiao, Yinmahe and Goat Valley, and later Qingxu was destroyed by the bird clan, and Lianshankuo was suppressed by the Niu clan, so that only the Drinking Horse River and the Goat Valley remained, the Goat Valley is still prosperous, but the best days are still the Drinking Horse River, and now in addition to the easy exchange business of the Southern Wilderness is still carried out in the Goat Valley, and the remaining east, west, and north are threeIn the past six months, the development of the Yuma River can only be described as thriving, with a large accumulation of various living and strategic materials including metals, salt, grain, cloth, and livestock.

The city where the Yinmahe River is located originally belonged to Daze, and the city lord of Daze is now Wu Qin, before that, Wu Zhongyuan had agreed with Wu Qin that a part of the income of the Yinmahe River would be given to him, but Wu Qin did not intercept it, but all the tribute was given to the imperial court, and now the taxes of the Yinmahe alone can support two camps of 10,000 people.

In addition to accumulating a large amount of wealth, Yumahe also made another great contribution during this half year, that is, the passage of the currency smelted by the imperial court, because the Goat Valley also recognized this shell-shaped copper currency, at this time the Central Plains and the outside world had generally accepted the currency issued by the imperial court, and its purchasing power had also been solidified.

Wu Zhongyuan came back from Xinyue Island not long ago, before that, the folds of each city were all approved by the six parts, Wu Dalie said that these were reported to Youxiong through the folds before, but those folds Wu Zhongyuan did not see, just listened to the six briefly mentioned, this time I heard Wu Dalie's detailed report, very gratifying, the general use of currency is a sign of the stability of a regime, which is also the reason why Qin Shi Huang unified the currency immediately after the unification of the six countries, the biggest significance of currency is that the imperial court can firmly control the lifeline of the national economy, because the imperial court has the power to make money, at the critical moment can borrow the wealth in the hands of the people by issuing currency。

When the two of them arrived at the mansion of the city lord between the words, the black widow stood outside the gate, but she didn't come out to greet Wu Zhongyuan, because she didn't know that Wu Zhongyuan was coming, this time she came out to see off the guests, and the guests were two middle-aged men wearing sheep furs, which should be two horse dealers.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan, the black widow was very surprised, and hurriedly greeted him, and greeted Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Qing, and after the ceremony, he congratulated one after another, one congratulated him on his promotion to Tailing, the second congratulated him on quelling the rebellion, and the third congratulated him on obtaining a large number of heaven-level spirit pills through the artifact Mixed Yuan Ding.

The reason why the black widow knew about the elixir was because Wu Zhongyuan had previously issued an order to inform the major walled cities of the results of each furnace alchemy, and although the Yinma River where the black widow was located was a Yi city, it belonged to a special economic zone, and it also had the power to directly connect with the imperial court.

Welcoming the two into the house, the black widow ordered someone to clean up the banquet, seeing that he was afraid that he would not be able to leave today, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wu Qing, and saw a slight regret in Wu Qing's eyes, so he knew that she wanted to go back to her parents' house earlier, although Wu Qin went to see her with a bear, Wu Qing's mother did not go with her, she had not seen her mother for more than half a year.

After a short period of silence, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Wu Dalie and Hua Niangzi to send Wu Qing back first, while he stayed to talk to the black widow.

During the period of waiting for the banquet to be served, the black widow invited Wu Zhongyuan into the main hall, sent him to the main seat, and then went straight to the topic, due to the strong support of the imperial court, the development of the drinking horse river is changing with each passing day, and the previously agreed tax standard is too generous for the drinking horse river itself, and now the imperial court is at a critical juncture in the use of money, the black widow decided to change the tax ratio, pay the imperial court ninety, and keep one percent.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't expect the black widow to have such a high consciousness, and repeatedly refused, but he didn't allow it, and later saw that the black widow had made up his mind, and repeatedly expressed his loyalty, so he agreed to her suggestion.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan agreed to his suggestion, the black widow was relieved, she has been in business for many years, she is well versed in the way of business, and knows that if you want to make your business bigger, you must get official support, and with official help, you can get huge help and even policy support. However, we must be cautious in cooperating with the government, and we can never be on an equal footing with the government, otherwise we will invite disaster for ourselves.

As an official, Wu Zhongyuan also has the need to cooperate with businessmen, many of the truths are the same in ancient and modern times, officials at all levels need to develop the local economy, in modern times this is also one of the important criteria for the promotion and assessment of officials, the economy does not develop there is no money, and there is no way to improve the living standards of the people without money.

There is a determinant called collusion between officials and businessmen, but in fact, this is only said by ignorant people, because there is no problem of collusion between officials and businessmen, and the relationship between officials and businessmen is very close.

The black widow is too Xuan Xiuwei, and the Dong Yunju in Taiping Village is also too Xuan Xiuwei, worried that the black widow can't hold Dong Yunju, Wu Zhongyuan asked about the situation of Dong Yunju in the Yuma River, the black widow is also a good person, knowing that Dong Yunju is not a good person, so he gave him the business of gambling stalls and Qinglou, Dong Yunju and Liu Chan are all the way, without great ambitions, come to a happy time, do not think about Shu.

For this kind of gray industry, Wu Zhongyuan is still relatively repulsive in his heart, and he is always associated with hiding dirt and dirt, but even if it is the Yellow Emperor, he can't always do what he wants to do, people like Dong Yunju, if they are not co-opted, they will continue to stay in the Southern Wilderness, and after the seal disappears, they will definitely be a traitor leader.

As for the gray industry in Yumahe, there is no way, as the Yellow Emperor, he must be strong in his heart, he can't have a glass heart of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he can't have a moral cleanliness habit, even in modern times, gambling and eroticism in Macao and Hong Kong are also legal, these are special phenomena in special areas in a special period, and it does not mean that the whole country is like this.

The banquet was ready, Wu Dalie and Hua Niangzi happened to come back, Wu Zhongyuan sent someone to call Dong Yunju after thinking about it, although he didn't like this person, he couldn't deny that this person had an objective action to reform himself, the reason why it was an objective action and not a supervisor's idea was because Dong Yunju couldn't change it at all, and he didn't want to change it, everything he did was done for him to see, but it was okay to pretend to be able to do it.

Dong Yunju had already gotten the news, knowing that Wu Zhongyuan was here, he had been waiting at home for a long time, and after being invited, there was another greeting and thanks.

Wu Zhongyuan was also very polite to Dong Yunju, for two reasons, one was that the four insect golden bodies rebelled against the palace before, and Dong Yunju also ran over to escort King Qin, which is really rare. The second is that Dong Yunju led the people to move north, which is a kind of uprooting, and he is sensitive, thinking that he is under the fence, and he must be warm and welcoming to his relatives and friends who come to take refuge in him, and must not let the other party feel coldly received, otherwise it will be very chilling.

The banquet is rich but not extravagant, the Chinese people like to talk about things at the wine table, this habit has existed since ancient times, and there are many rules for the banquet, the black widow and others toast to Wu Zhongyuan one by one, and they always have to say something when toasting, say what is good, express their attitude to the leader, and how to do work in the future.

After that, Wu Zhongyuan returned the salute, and he had to say something, just say his expectations and requirements.

After the single salute was finished, the companion saluted, the black widow and Wu Dalie saluted together, and the toast was to reassure Wu Zhongyuan, and the two worked together very happily.

Wu Zhongyuan is talking about the black widow in the Yinma River, and Wu Dalie is a loose person, so it is good to be a helper for the black widow with the flower lady.

Although Wu Zhongyuan said this, Wu Dalie was very useful, and there was nothing more gratifying than the Yellow Emperor not being far away from him. And the flower lady is also in a good mood, because Wu Zhongyuan did not ignore her existence.

After that, the Black Widow toasted with the Flower Lady, saying that she was grateful to Wu Zhongyuan for his shelter and entrusting him with important tasks, and Wu Zhongyuan thanked Yin Mahe for his previous generosity and selfless gifts, and those who have made a fortune must not forget the help given to them by others when they are in difficulty.

After that, Wu Dalie and Hua Niangzi toasted together, reassuring Wu Zhongyuan that the two of them must be the deputy of the Black Widow, Wu Zhongyuan didn't say anything this time, just nodded with relief.

When Dong Yunju first arrived, he was relatively different from everyone, Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to respect him and Wu Dalie, only saying that what Dong Yunju did was bad things, all the bad business he was doing, and there were many enemies, so he must have a good relationship with Wu Dalie in the future, Wu Dalie is a good gambler, and he must let him win some money when he goes to the gambling stall to play money, in case he loses his arm and leg one day, Wu Dalie can also grow him back.

Although they are all jokes and criticisms, Wu Dalie and Dong Yunju are very useful, laughing, and should be, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of being scolded by the leader, you are afraid of being praised by the leader, and the more criticism you have, the better the relationship.

It's not easy to be a leader, all aspects have to be taken into account, but it's true that Wu Zhongyuan is in a good mood, the black widow offered to share ninety percent of the profits, so that only one drinking horse river can support a large amount of grain and grass consumption in the Sifang camp, and this trip was not in vain.

After being promoted to Tailing, the ability to control himself and all things in the world composed of breath is stronger, taking drinking as an example, if Wu Zhongyuan does not control the change, what he drinks is wine, if he changes with aura, what he drinks is water, to put it bluntly, he is drunk if he wants to get drunk, he doesn't get drunk if he doesn't want to get drunk, and he gets drunk if he wants to get drunk.

Then Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to toast to Dong Yunju, first, Dong Yunju led the crowd to vote, and as the owner, he should welcome it. The second is to express appreciation for Dong Yunju's previous rush to be escorted by King Xiong Qin. The third is that Dong Yunju will become a father in two months, and congratulate him in advance.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan cared so much about him, he even remembered that his wife was pregnant for a few months, Dong Yunju was so moved that he hurriedly replied, Wu Zhongyuan could use the aura to dissolve the wine, but they didn't dare to do it, there was a suspicion of disrespect, seven or eight bowls went down, Dong Yunju's face was red, his ears were red, and his tongue was hard.

Seeing that he was not strong enough to drink, Wu Zhongyuan ordered the flower lady to send him back.

Dong Yunju thanked him in fear, and staggered back in the company of the flower lady.

After Dong Yunju and Hua Niangzi left, Wu Zhongyuan took a sip of tea from the teacup, and then asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get the news of the Golden Dragon Armor......
