"Something is wrong now. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Yang Jian glanced at Liang Shicheng deeply, Liang Shicheng also smiled bitterly, I didn't expect that the last set was actually put on himself, let himself pass the decree, once the ministers knew that this matter was passed on by the two of them, then I am afraid that the two of them will be scolded to death by those people.

"Taifu, who did the matter of sealing the pile warehouse? Don't tell me you didn't find anything? Yang Jian said gloomily: "Right now, you and I are grasshoppers on a rope, and we can't hide from each other." ”

"Hehe, hasn't Mrs. Yang already found out? You and I are in charge of the six doors, don't tell me, you haven't found out anything? Liang Shicheng said with some dissatisfaction.

"This is the disadvantage of being a minion, there are some things that you know but don't dare to say." After Yang Jian heard this, he suddenly sighed and said: "When the official family dug such a long tunnel for that slut, I thought that no one would know, but who could know that all the troubles were in that tunnel. ”

"Yes! There is only one person who can find this tunnel. Liang Shicheng clenched his fists, in fact, they didn't find any clues, but they saw things very clearly, the pile sealing warehouse had already been stolen, and there was only one person who stole the money, that was Li Jing, but the reason why Li Jing was able to steal the pile warehouse was that Li Jing found a secret passage from Li Shishi's small building. Where did this secret passage come from? The final culprit is Zhao Ji, and it is only Zhao Ji who loves beauty, and finally he has everything he has today.

Even if Yang Jian and the others knew the culprit, they didn't dare to say it, so they could only treat this matter as an unsolved case and put it aside, so they could only push the thief on themselves. Anyway, this incident made Yang Jian and the others very depressed.

"Forget it, since the official family has made a decision, we can only implement it, anyway, there are a lot of businessmen in Bianjing City, 35 million yuan, don't say half of it, even if it is all, those businessmen can take it out. Let's get through this first. Yang Jian said indifferently. There are many merchants in Bianjing City, and which of these merchants is not wealthy, if some are levied, 35 million yuan is still possible.

"Then don't halve it, just 35 million! Our family knows that all the businessmen in the world are related to Li Thief, and it is only natural to collect some money from them, who let them have a relationship with Li Jing? Liang Shicheng said gloomily.

Yang Jian glanced at Liang Shicheng, but there was a burst of disdain in his heart, these guys may all go to Hedong Road to do business, but if they have something to do with Li Jing, it is a bit fake, Liang Shicheng's fundamental purpose in doing this is to take a fancy to the money of those merchants, and he doesn't want to contribute his money, as for whether those people really have a relationship with Li Jing, it is not a matter for him Liang Shicheng to consider.

"That's very good. Let's do it! Yang Jian also nodded, like Liang Shicheng, as the great eunuch beside the emperor, there are big mansions outside the palace, which is not rich in the world, if everyone donates, as the courtiers around the emperor do not dedicate their family property, I am afraid that those courtiers will make trouble, but it is different to let those businessmen dedicate, as long as their interests are not damaged, everything else is easy to say.

"Hey, now business is getting worse and worse, the world is strife, and there are wars everywhere! Look, even the business of this Pan Lou is getting more and more desolate, in the past, the shopkeeper of Pan would come down and walk, but now even the figure is gone, tsk, look, there are many fewer night markets in the south, but there are still a lot of people in the west! Under the cover of night, above the Pan Tower, several businessmen were sitting together, smiling and chatting about something.

Depart from Suzaku Gate and go all the way to Longjin Bridge. Walking to the south, it is a snack street in the night market in Bianjing City. To the east, there is East Bird Lane, and to the west is West Bird Lane, all of which are brothels. Then go east and call Zhuang Lou, later changed to Hele Building, and the street downstairs is the horse market. They are all open twelve hours a day, but in recent days, the number of people has decreased considerably.

"Hmph, of course it's less, the government is going to come to collect money, where do you still have the heart to do business! 35 million guan, the silver hidden in the imperial court's more than 100-year-old sealing vault must be borne by Bianjing, merchants, ordinary people and even officials. A businessman said viciously: "I'm afraid you don't know that in order to appease Li Jing and reward Li Jing for his contribution to seizing Youzhou from the Liao people, the imperial court is ready to reward Li Jing with money according to the rules set by Emperor Taizu at the beginning, as well as to compensate Li Jing's army for casualties, a total of 35 million yuan, and these money will be equally distributed to the people and merchants in Bianjing City. In the end, it's not up to us to bear the burden. ”

"Thirty-five million guan, I'm afraid this is to turn over the entire Bianjing City, and there won't be so much money!" The businessman who spoke just now suddenly changed his face after hearing this, he was really scared, those officials in the imperial court are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, and the common people don't have much money on them, and only these businessmen can really loot.

Who would want to give their money to others? These merchants are also unwilling, and their money is not blown by the wind, so why should they give it to those who are in power.

"What if not? The army is besieging the mansion, can you not hand over your money? That is the disaster of destruction. The merchant shook his head, with a look of regret on his face, and said: "In the past, I thought that in Bianjing City, it was the land of the capital master, and there were many opportunities to make money, but now it seems that this place is a fateful place, no matter how much money there is, I can't help the imperial court to ask for it!" I decided to leave Bianjing immediately. The world is so big, there must be a place where we do business. ”

"If you say that this place for doing business is not nothing, I am afraid that the most suitable place for doing business in the world is only Tang Wang. The Tang King himself was a businessman, and his Hubu Shangshu was born as a merchant. Therefore, his territory is all merchant-oriented, and I will not tell you that I am ready to go to Hedong Road. Hehe, I'll take my leave. Without waiting for everyone to react, he went down to Pan Tower.

"Hehe, I'll take my leave first." After hearing this, the merchant who spoke just now suddenly rolled his eyes, and he also got out of the restaurant and disappeared without a trace. Just left a group of people looking at each other, but they didn't find it, the two people who were talking cordially just now nodded to each other under the Pan Tower, and disappeared into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.

"Hey. Now in this world, it is getting harder and harder to do. At the wine table, soon a merchant sighed, shook his head, and also walked out of the Pan Building, not even thinking of entering the Pan Building to hunt for beauty. For a while, there were many people missing in the entire Pan Building.

"That's natural, I heard that the Tang King in the west has already hit Luoyang, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the entire Bianjing City will belong to the Tang King." A person showed a slight look of regret, he shook his head, and said, "I think it's better to leave Bianjing quickly!" lest all the money he has earned so hard fall into the hands of the imperial court. As he spoke, he also beckoned everyone out of the Pan Building, and for a while, the originally lively Pan Building instantly became extremely deserted.

"When, when, neighbors, the imperial court sealed the pile library was stolen, and now there is no money to redeem Youzhou, the official family has no choice but to temporarily decide to borrow some silver money from the people, so as to redeem Youzhou to the imperial court. I'll definitely be able to pay you back in a year. ”

"When, when, under the holy decree, because of the redemption of Youzhou, temporarily collect money from the people of the world for two times per household."

"When, when, the tax is collected, in order to redeem Youzhou, each household will increase the tax twice, and the tax will be collected!"

......

A burst of shouting came, the sound of the gong sounded in Bianjing City, countless soap-clothed servants walked in the streets and alleys, passing the latest news of the imperial court, and levied money from every household in Bianjing City, each household had two pieces of silver, although the three thousand five hundred yuan could not be completely solved, but the money of these people was only secondary, and more people were thinking about collecting money from those merchants.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, this matter is a decision made by the imperial court, the official personally issued a holy decree, we have no choice, thousands of guan, almost every family is this number, three hundred guan is nothing for shopkeeper Zhang, this official heard that shopkeeper Zhang sometimes has eaten this number at a table of banquets, and three hundred guan is really not much." In a mansion, a pot-bellied official looked at the business traveler in front of him with a smile, although there was a smile flashing in his eyes, but he looked like he was not smiling.

"Lord Hao, you also know that because of the war in the north, the villain's life has not been easy recently, and the villain can't support it if he opens his mouth for a thousand times!" After hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhang's face suddenly looked a little unsightly, a thousand times ago was not a small amount, so he gave it to the imperial court, even if he knew that his move would offend the officials in front of him, Shopkeeper Zhang still had a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart.

Will the imperial court run out of money? This sentence can only deceive other people, but Shopkeeper Zhang will not believe this, all this money is earned by his own hard work, how can he easily let others get it.

After hearing this, Lord Hao's face was still full of smiles, but his face was much more gloomy, and he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhang, this Bianjing City can have today's prosperity, and your shopkeeper Zhang can have a lot of money, and it is all thanks to the grace of the official family. ”

After listening to this, Shopkeeper Zhang's face changed, the county order of the broken family, and the order Yin of the door. Most of these businessmen are not clean, and these officials can know their roots as long as they check it a little, and then they can take their own and even the entire family's life if they find a random source. just handed over his money like this, and the shopkeeper Zhang was really unwilling.

"Lord Hao, if you threaten the villain like this, aren't you afraid that the villain will hold a grudge? Even if Zhang Mou's family is weak, but the merchants of the entire Bianjing City are united, I am afraid that the imperial court will not dare to underestimate it! Shopkeeper Zhang slightly expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Zhang Yutang, do you think this official is here to beg you? You can be mistaken, this official is not here to beg you, but to order you, this official has the holy decree of the official family, if you dare to disobey the holy decree, it is not just as simple as killing the head, I am afraid that even your nine clans will be difficult to guarantee. One thousand guan is really a little less, two thousand guan, just enough to buy the lives of one hundred and ten people of your Zhang family. Lord Hao finally tore off his hypocritical face, revealing a hideous face, and looked at the shopkeeper Zhang with a cold snort.

"Okay, okay." Shopkeeper Zhang nodded again and again, his eyes flashed with a trace of anger, at this time, he had already understood that the so-called one thousand guan, two thousand guan was not the rule set by the imperial court, but the decision made by these officials themselves, if you continue to think about it, what you pay is not only two thousand guan, but even lose your net worth and life, so he did not hesitate to let the account room prepare two thousand guan and let the officials carry it away.

"Very good, Zhang shopkeeper is the person who is valued by the official, anxious about the urgency of the court, when the country is in difficulty, he generously donated money, and took out two thousand guan without hesitation, I believe that he will definitely be rewarded by the court in the future, and the official will leave first." Lord Hao looked at the several big boxes in front of him, and his face suddenly showed a look of satisfaction, not only is the money of the imperial court enough, but even if it is his own, he has also received many benefits, this guy is naturally very happy.

"Master, I've lost 2,000 yuan this time, I'm afraid there are some problems with the turnover in the shop." After half a ring, I saw the account room coming over, looking at a few large boxes in the distance, and suddenly sighed.

"Hao Gouguan is really damned." Zhang Yutang's face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists, how long did it take him to earn back two thousand guan, and now it was actually taken away by the people of the government, how depressed he was in his heart, that could not be described in words.

"Hey, although the lord has money, but he has no power in his hands, it's better not to be enemies of these officials, in Kaifeng City, Hao Yuancheng has many ways to make the lord's shop unable to open, and even to say something ugly, even if it takes the master's life, it is very easy." The bookkeeper hurriedly persuaded on the side.

"The court is incompetent, what does it have to do with our people, Youzhou City itself has no ability to take it back, then don't take it back, just give it to Li Jing, but now he has come to harm his own people." Zhang Yutang's face turned red, and he said viciously.

"Master, be cautious!" The account room couldn't help but exclaimed: "If this matter spreads, the Zhang family will suffer a great disaster!" ”

"Mr. Pei, do you think our family is unlucky today? 35 million guan, part of it is dedicated to the imperial court, and some of it is to be distributed to those officials, tsk, I'm afraid it's not 35 million guan, but 70 million guan or even more It's possible, these guys don't turn over the entire Bianjing City It's a strange thing! Zhang Yutang said disdainfully: "I want to see that the merchants of the entire Bianjing City have left Bianjing and turned the entire Bianjing City into a pool of stagnant water, so what's the fun?" Zhang Yutang's face was gloomy, and he looked coldly into the distance.

His words frightened the account office around him, if this is really the case, I am afraid that the entire Bianjing City will not be as prosperous as it used to be.
