Chapter 1589: Shuikou City

A person's fantasy can't come up with anything, Guo Ye took Yuan Gai Suwen's letter and asked to see Jindeman!

Jindeman took the letter from Yuangai Suwen, also frowned, and said, "Shuikou City? That's not easy! ”

"Dare to ask my sister, which country does this Shuikou City belong to? Why did Yuan Gai Suwen say that only when the younger brother arrived in Shuikou City could he be considered impartial? ”

"Shuikou City is not under the jurisdiction of any one country!" Jindeman said, "Sukou Fortress is at the junction of our Silla and Baekje and Goguryeo. Because of the importance of geographical location, it has always been a battleground for our three countries in the past. The tug-of-war has been going back and forth for hundreds of years, making Shuikou City withered and the people miserable! ”

"And then?"

"Just thirty years ago, there was a great hero in Shuikou City, whose surname was Yan Lang. Taking advantage of the fact that our Silla army abandoned the city and left, and the Goguryeo army had not yet settled in, Dao Yanlang led a group of men and horses to forcibly occupy Sukou City and repelled the attack of Goguryeo! ”

"Judging the situation and taking advantage of the situation, this knife Yan Lang is really a talent!"

Jindeman exclaimed: "Not only is he a talent, he is simply a genius, and even more powerful is yet to come!" Dao Yanlang understood that although he won the first battle, he would inevitably lose the final defeat by defeating one country in one corner. Therefore, he thought of a good way, that is, to propose to our three kingdoms at the same time, Shuikou City has been fighting for many years, and it has been changing hands constantly, and the people inside can no longer withstand the toss. Therefore, he proposed that Shuikou Castle be listed as a city without war. Shuikou Castle itself does not have an army, it is jointly managed by the three kingdoms! ”

"That'...... Will it work? ”

"The original intention of our three countries, of course, is unwilling. However, what the Three Kingdoms were even more reluctant was that Shuikou City fell into the hands of other countries. So, the three kingdoms hindered each other, and he really did it. Since then, there have been four forces in charge of Sukou City, Silla, Goguryeo, Baekje, and he is Yan Lang! The taxes of Shuikou City, each of our three kingdoms gets 20%, and Dao Yanlang gets 40% alone! ”

"Then I don't understand, your three kingdoms are responsible for the defense of Shuikou City, and if you don't do anything, you will only get forty percent of Shuikou City's taxes, which is too unreasonable, right?"

"How can you not care about anything? The security, prison lawsuits, and tax collection in Shuikou City are all under the responsibility of Dao Yanlang. There are also a lot of people under him to support, even more than the city defense army of any of our three countries, and although it is a little more than forty percent of the tax, it is not completely unreasonable! ”

Guo Ye grinned when he heard this, and said, "How can I listen to you, this Shuikou City is completely in charge of Dao Yan Lang. At best, your three countries say that they are stationing troops and collecting a protection fee. If you say it badly, you are completely taking care of the family and making hard money! ”

Jindeman smiled bitterly and said, "Although your words are mean, they can be regarded as rough words. However, there is one thing, my sister wants to correct you, the taxes paid in Shuikou City are not so much as 'a little hard-earned money'. Just last year, the taxes that Sukou Castle handed over to me from Silla already accounted for about 10% of my Silla's treasury revenue! ”

"! So hanging! Guo Ye couldn't help but exclaim!

10% of the revenue of the national treasury is already a lot. In the socialist New China, the largest number of taxes paid by Shanghai accounted for only 10 percent of the country's fiscal revenue. In other words, the status of Sukou City in Silla is now equivalent to the status of Shanghai in China!

Not to mention, the people of Sukou Castle only handed over 20% of the tax revenue to Silla! Although this Sukou Castle is named after the city, in terms of wealth, it is equivalent to half of Silla, which is really not to be underestimated!

Jindeman said: "Otherwise, Yan Lang is a genius." He took advantage of the geographical location of Shuikou Castle and almost monopolized the trade between the three kingdoms. Now the entire Sukou Fortress is already the number one city in the land of Samhan! ”

Guo Ye rolled his eyes and said, "I'm afraid it's still the number one thief city in the land of Sanhan!" In your three kingdoms, officials who commit crimes, robbers who roll off their horses, and thieves who can't get along with traitors will all run to Shuikou City, right? ”

"You're right! These thieves brought a large amount of gold and silver treasures to Mizukou Castle, which was one of the reasons why Mizukou Castle was able to prosper. However, although there are many thieves in Shuikou City, the security is okay. There, no matter what case is committed outside, as long as you are honest in Shuikou City, you will not be held accountable. However, if you break the rules of Mizukou Castle and are caught by the officials of the city lord's mansion, you will be worse off than dead! ”

"If violence doesn't work, then the most powerful thing in this city is money?"

Jindeman nodded and said, "Legend has it that in Shuikou City, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy!" Whether it's a stunning beauty, a brave samurai, or a precious medicinal herb, or a rare treasure in the world, as long as you want it, there is everything here! Even if it's buying a human life, as long as the price is high enough, there are countless people who are willing to serve you! Here, it is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor! ”

Guo Ye was fascinated by what he heard, and said, "This is really a fallen city!" I'm really interested! ”

Jindeman said: "Shuikou City is famous, whether it is the rich businessmen and nobles of the Three Kingdoms, or the dignitaries, they are all flocking to it!" It is not surprising that Qin Guogong was intentional. ”

"Then what do you think Yuangai Suwen must ask me to go to Shuikou City? Is it really for the peace of the three kingdoms? ”

"According to this letter, what Yuangai Suwen wants, not only Qin Guogong alone, but also this king and Fuyu Zhang will participate in this conference in Shuikou City! The monarchs of the three kingdoms are all here, and Yuangai Suwen must be not small! Maybe he really wants to take it when he sees it? After all, although Goguryeo's military strength is strong now, its national strength has fallen to the bottom, and now it has offended both Silla and Baekje at the same time. ”

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "The covenant is not reliable!" I wonder if Yuan Gai Suwen and Fuyu Zhang didn't swear to the sky? When he turned around, he was able to sell Fuyu Zhang. He himself does not keep the covenant, can he expect both of you to do so? ”

"Otherwise, he wants to make a false name as the leader of the Three Kingdoms under the witness of Datang? Yuangai Suwen killed the infant and raised the king, and set up a puppet Gao Zang as the king, and the people in the country have been unstable. When he got this name, he could give an account to the country. ”

"It sounds a little reasonable, but Yuan Gai Suwen has invested so much money just for such a small benefit. Why do I feel a little unreliable? ”

After guessing twice, he was denied by Guo Ye, Jindeman's face was a little unbearable, and he snorted coquettishly and said, "Then Qin Guogong thinks that what is the purpose of Yuangai Suwen this time?" ”

"Uh...... Yuangai Suwen is the most ruthless. Do you say that it is possible that he wants to kill you and Fuyu Zhang in Shuikou City? ”

"Your guess is even more unreliable! Shuikou City also has our Silla army, that is considered to be Dao Yan Lang was bought by Yuangai Suwen, their forces have an absolute advantage, we can't beat it, can't we run? ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, maybe they have laid a lore game, I believe you will definitely not be able to escape!"

"Well, even if it is as Qin Guogong said, in this way, the reputation of Shuikou City will be completely finished, and the huge annual tax revenue will be in vain. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I don't think I'm worth that much money! ”

Guo Ye is right to think about it, whether it is Silla or Baekje, the lord of the country cannot say nine words. Although, in this case, the efficiency is reduced a little, and it is easy to cause infighting. However, the importance of the lord of the kingdom has also decreased correspondingly. Even if the real lord of the country dies, for the imperial court, it is not a major event! Yuangai Suwen really wants to use force, and it's really a bit more than worth the loss!

He said: "In this case, let's go to Shuikou City and see what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd of Yuangai Suwen!" ”
