Li Yunxiao frowned, and said unhappily: "There is a balance of more than 50 million gold coins every year, excluding the tax of the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce this time, why is there only 30 million gold coins left?
Wu Zishi felt his displeasure, and said in horror: "Back to King Wucheng, the annual balance of 50 million gold coins, the former city lord Yu Dehai will spend more than 30 million yuan every year to deal with the officials of the court, and some of them are taken away when they return to their hometowns. ”
"Smack!~"
Li Yunxiao slapped the table and said angrily: "This is Yanwu City's money, not his Yu Dehai's private bank!"
Wu Zishi lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but secretly muttered, is there a difference? Every time the city lord leaves, he basically empties the city's finances. This time, because it was the king of Wucheng, Yu Dehai also deliberately left more than 30 million gold coins, saying that it was a congratulatory gift to King Wucheng when he took office.
"Daddy!"
Li Yunxiao shouted: "You take a few people to the national capital and ask Yu Dehai for the money back!"
"Okay!" Li Changfeng laughed, jumped up and shouted angrily: "Dare to take away all the money from my son's fiefdom, I don't think he wants to live!"
"Huh?!"
Wu Zishi was taken aback, how could this King Wu Cheng be so confused? How could there be any reason to go and ask for the money he had taken back? How would you be willing to give it to others?
He hurriedly said: "King Wucheng, you can't help it! This sister of Lord Yu Dehai is the noble concubine of His Majesty today, and he is still the emperor's uncle. And I have a relationship with many first-class officials in the DPRK and China, you must know that the tens of millions of gold coins every year are not given for nothing!"
"Oh, by the way, and the man in the court also took it. Li Yunxiao waved his hand and said: "Except for Yu Dehai, the rest of the senior officials of the court, all those who have benefited from my Yanwu City, all of them will be spit out for me! Wu Zishi, you report to me the list of the last ten city lords and recover them together." If he is already dead, ask for his descendants!"
"Ah?!" Wu Zishi was suddenly petrified on the spot, this, this is too ridiculous, isn't it? Could it be that this King Wucheng doesn't understand the way of officialdom at all? In this way, he has offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty? I am afraid that this city lord will not be long in office.
"Ha Lu Ha!" Li Changfeng laughed, twisted his ears and said with a smile: "Let this beast go with me to ensure the successful completion of the task!"
"Hmm!" Li Yunxiao snorted: "Remember, there is also interest that must be charged at the same time, which is three times the current ordinary interest." You tell these people that if they don't vomit back honestly, they will wait for me to come to the door to collect debts in person! Try to use yuan stones as the mainstay, gold coins, you can't eat or cultivate, and it's useless if you have more. ”
"Okay, I'll go now!" Li Changfeng directly stepped onto Xuan Lei Yun's roar, and said with a smile: "Let's go!"
Xuan Lei roared with disturbance and reluctance on his face, but with Li Yunxiao's order, he could only bow his head and obey, and directly turned into a thunderbolt and ran towards the national capital in an instant.
Wu Zishi was taken aback by the momentum and speed of this demon beast, and he was drenched in cold sweat. But when he thought of the consequences of Li Changfeng's departure, he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, it seemed that the city lord was about to change again.
"I am appointing you as the deputy city lord now, and you will be in charge of everything in the city in the future, except for money, you don't have to report anything else to me. Naturally, I will come to you when I want to call the shots. ”
Li Yunxiao left after dropping this sentence, leaving Wu Zishi, who was completely petrified, standing there, his face dazed and confused.
Just so casually, he became the deputy city lord?
You must know that Yanwu City is the richest city in Tianshui Kingdom, and every appointment of a minor official affects the nerves of the senior officials in the court. The position of deputy city lord has been contested by many officials for many years, and the DPRK and China have not been able to finalize it. King Wu Cheng actually appointed himself like this?
Wu Zishi's mind began to be a little trance-like, with a dream-like unreal feeling. He stumbled back to bed, thinking that he must not have woken up, and that when he woke up, everything would be normal.
Li Yunxiao didn't care about settling down, so he left everyone and headed towards the chamber of commerce, taking only the Mengwu sisters and Jia Rong with him. One is his apprentice, the other is his servant, so that he can call, and the other is red-faced, looking pleasing to the eye. The others were either teachers or old men, and he wasn't interested in shopping with them.
At this moment, looking at the sign of Wanbaolou hanging high, it is indeed the Wanbaolou that knew the Tao in the previous life. It seems that the power of this organization has penetrated far more than I expected.
According to legend, Wanbaolou is the richest organization in the Tianwu Continent, and its wealth is not even below the Alchemist Guild. Moreover, the Wanbao Building itself has recruited a large number of alchemists to serve it, and there are countless martial artists of all kinds. So although the family is big, no one dares to peep.
"Master, come in, what are you doing here!"
Mengbai urged violently, young people love to be lively, and he is a child born in poverty, and he has seen little in the world, so he can't wait.
Mengwu was also extremely excited, and deliberately changed into a new costume, just thinking of a beautiful Sayuri among the flowers, which attracted people's attention. Since being with Li Yunxiao, Qin Yue has greeted the two sisters and brothers meticulously, and she has done what she likes, and all kinds of latest clothing, jewelry and fat powder have been sent in a steady stream, which is more priority than the concubines in the palace.
The two siblings were a little uncomfortable at first, but later accepted it generously. At the same time, they also understand that this is the benefit that Li Yunxiao's status and weight bring to them, and they attach more importance to their own strength, and now the two sisters and brothers are already five-star warrior cultivators, and Mengbai has reached the peak of five-star existence.
Fortunately, Li Yunxiao's light was too great, so no one paid attention to the two sisters and brothers, otherwise their jaws would drop in surprise.
Li Yunxiao smiled slightly, and then walked in with everyone, the Chamber of Commerce occupied several important main streets in Yanwu City, and it was already crowded with people, people from the Huowu Empire and other subsidiary kingdoms all gathered here, and all kinds of bargaining voices were endless.
The Dream Dance Sisters' eyes straightened, when had they seen so many objects. Although Jia Rong had also participated in the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce several times, he was also very interested, and he kept looking at whether there was anything he needed.
There are people everywhere, many merchants are temporary shops, and there are more that there is no place anymore, directly spread a beast skin blanket on the ground, and sell it so simply.
"Master, master, there are a lot of people here, let's go in and have a look!"
Mengbai jumped up and pointed to the door of a shop, and there were several circles of people outside, and they didn't know what they were selling to attract so many onlookers. The others were small and short, so they squeezed in at once, and they couldn't see anyone.
In the shop was a small old man with a goat's beard, smiling and explaining his belongings to everyone. On a square table at the door was placed a huge crystal vessel, and inside stood a giant egg with a big baby smiling, which glowed with colorful light under the reflection of the crystal vessel, so beautiful.
"Demon beast eggs?" Jia Rong said in surprise: "This thing is a rare commodity that is rare to see, even if it is taken to participate in the auction, it is not an exaggeration, I didn't expect it to be placed so casually." ”
Dream Dance looked at it obsessively, with a longing look, "What a beautiful easter egg, I don't know what kind of demon beast is in the road." ”
Li Yunxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's just an ordinary white demon beast egg, and it looks like the color is completely the function of this crystal vessel." If you look at the description next to it, it's a second-class Wind Splitting Poison Weasel. Huh, ferret?"
Li Yunxiao was slightly stunned and muttered to himself, "Although this second-level egg has a weak breath of life, it is a poisonous ferret's egg after all, and it should be of great benefit to boil it for Mengbai to eat." ”
Jia Rong smiled bitterly, "Yun Shao, you don't really want to buy it and cook it and eat it, right?" If you want to eat priceless demon beast eggs, it is estimated that only Yun Shao can make them.
"Hmm", Li Yunxiao nodded slightly, and Jia Rong immediately helped him squeeze out of the way and walked in.
I saw a jade plaque erected next to the poisonous weasel egg, which read: The second-level Splitting Wind Poisonous Weasel Egg, the growth cycle is five years, and the real combat power of the Splitting Wind Poisonous Weasel in adulthood is comparable to the existence of a great martial artist, and it is the best companion for home travel, killing people and goods!
"Boss, we know that this monster egg is precious, so we don't need to talk about it. But the price of 10,000 medium-grade yuan stones is too terrifying. It's cheaper, isn't it?" a martial artist grimaced, but the fanaticism in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
"How cheap is it?" The goatee blew his beard and glared: "It's already the price of jumping off the building and vomiting blood, you want me to give you the price of broken bones! If you don't need money urgently, do you think that 10,000 medium-grade yuan stones can buy a second-grade demon beast egg? And it's the most powerful poisonous ferret egg? Dream it!"
Goatee sighed and said, "Well, let's be honest. We have already lost money on this egg, and it can't be cheaper, in fact, it is mainly to attract popularity. You may wish to go to the store and see if there are any other things you need. ”
No one in the crowd moved, obviously not interested in anything else he said, they all stared at this monster egg, even if they couldn't afford it, at least they could take a look at the ****.
The warrior's face showed reluctance and pain, he glanced at the rest of the people, and immediately squeezed out of the crowd and discussed in a low voice. The rest of the people were also talking about it, and they were happy to watch the excitement.
Soon, the warrior squeezed in again, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Boss, I bought this egg!" But whether this is a second-level Wind Splitting Weasel or not, you have to give us a proof, otherwise it will not be a poisonous ferret or a dead egg if we buy it back, then we will really lose all our money." ”
Goatee pointed to a few trademarks next to him and said: "Open your eyes and see clearly, this is a seven-day no reason to return trademark issued by Wanbaolou, as well as a commodity credit protection trademark, if we dare to sell fakes, don't we die!"
