"Yes, after all, you are the Qincha of the imperial court, and you have personally come to this Phoenix Mountain, and the witch god of the Witch God Temple actually did not come to visit, so the subordinates feel that they are too ignorant of us." Kang Yong said.

I only heard that Kang Qincha sighed, "Let's not worry about that, if the witch god doesn't come, he won't come, so as not to cause a lot of trouble if he sees it." For example, King Miao didn't need to kneel when he saw me, but he still had to kneel when he saw the holy decree. And what about the witch god? If you let him kneel too, let's not say whether he kneels or not, if he kneels, the news spreads, I'm afraid we will encounter a lot of trouble in Miaojiang, so it's better not to see each other, so it's okay for each other to have nothing to do. ”

"Also, my lord, that Dewey has been running out privately lately, he won't go with us as soon as he enters Miao Jiang, and now he doesn't discuss anything with you, should we beat him." Kang Yong said.

"You are also the old man of our Kang family, so I asked you to come out with me this time, that Dewey is nominally a guard sent to me by the imperial court, but I always feel that he has other identities and backgrounds, you don't have to worry about these with him, and complete the tasks assigned to us by the prime minister." How much have you raised now? Kang Qincha asked.

"We went to a total of fifteen big villages, each with 10,000 taels, five medium-sized villages, 5,000 taels each, and then the territory of the four major toasts, we went to King Peng's Mansion and King Miao's station, King Peng gave 100,000 taels, but King Miao only gave 50,000 taels, and 15,000 taels in Phoenix City, a total of 340,000 taels of silver." Kang Yong said.

"King Miao naturally doesn't have as much money as King Peng, but those other villages are also King Miao's territory, which means that except for the 100,000 taels of King Peng's mansion, the rest are from King Miao's people, let's not embarrass him on this issue, lest the dog jump off the wall in a hurry, and the remaining two toasts haven't taken the money yet." They can't be left out. "I listened to what Kang Chin said.

"Their territories are all on the southernmost border, and beyond that is the Southern Wilderness, do we still want to go there?" Kangyong asked.

"Forget it, you can get in touch with Wu'an and Panli, and just put it up tactfully and vaguely, we can take as much as they can give, and it will be for nothing. Those two toast territories are too far away, so we won't go this time. Even if they go to their poor countryside, they can't get much money, they are not like the territory of King Peng's mansion next to the Central Plains, nor like King Miao is in a relatively advantageous position, so let's stop in moderation, lest they really force them back, and they will not be able to explain to the court. Kang Qincha said.

"And what about the rest of the money? Didn't the Prime Minister tell us to raise 500,000 taels this time? Yasuyong asked.

"Xiangye means that we should weaken the financial resources of the various departments of Miaojiang as much as possible, so that the fertile water will not flow to the fields of outsiders, but we must not force them directly to rebel, so we don't have to go back to the capital, and the remaining Qian Benguan already has a source, so he will squeeze it out of these tea merchants."

The sinister and sinister laughter of the Conchin cha was heard again from within the screen.

"Your Excellency, do you mean that we are going to contact these tea merchants directly?" Kang Yong asked thoughtfully.

Kang Qincha continued to laugh and said: "Yes, you can leak your tone to these tea merchants, and say that the imperial court will implement the policy of changing the land and returning to the flow of land in the four provinces of Miaojiang, but the Han officials are not familiar with the situation in Miaojiang, so they want to select a group of Miao people who are familiar with the situation in Miaojiang to assist the imperial court in carrying out this work." And the people who assisted were the first officials of the four provinces of Miaojiang in the future. So that the remaining 100,000 taels will not be settled? ”

"My lord, what if they ask us to come and ask for a certificate, what should we do, some of these tea merchants have a lot of backgrounds, and even have dealings with the ministers of the DPRK and China, we are too ruthless, right?" Kang Yong reminded.

Hearing this, there was a sigh of hatred for iron but not steel from inside the screen, as if there was a feeling of playing the piano to a cow.

"You're so stupid, of course we can't be too hard. But tomorrow, you will use my Qincha Pass to set up checkpoints on the three main roads that have just entered Miaojiang, and slowly check the goods one by one, mainly tea, not to confiscate them directly, but to slowly consume time with them, these tea merchants will naturally take the initiative to talk to you, and things will be much easier. Everyone should not take too much, but within what is acceptable to them. There are so many tea merchants, isn't it enough to raise a penny? ”

When Kang Yong heard this, he was immediately empowered, and praised: "My lord is wise, my subordinates will dismantle people tomorrow." Within ten days, the tea merchants in Phoenix City will probably get the news. Then I got in touch with them one by one. It's just that it is said that King Qin's people are also operating the tea of this Miao Jiang, and they are connected with King Peng and King Miao. What are we going to do? ”

"Treat everyone equally, King Qin's Mansion will not worry about us because of this little thing, you remember to collect some good tea for King Qin to take back, so that it will be fine, otherwise we will open our mouths, and things will be difficult to do." Kang Qincha said.

"My lord, there are also villains who heard that King Miao invited tea merchants and other representatives of the toast to the banquet last night, at the banquet, Peng Shan, the son of King Peng, asked King Miao if he supported the change of land and return to the stream, but King Miao said that he would definitely listen to the opinions of most of the Tusi, isn't this a clear refusal to change the land and return to the stream?" Kangyong asked.

A contemptuous sneer came from inside the screen, "This official had long expected that the old fox would be like this. But we don't have to worry at all, if he dares to openly confront the imperial court, this will give us an excuse to send troops. ”

"In addition, the lady of the capital family has sent a letter, and I should have sued you this afternoon, but seeing that you have been busy, my subordinates did not present it to you in time. I thought I would give it to you tomorrow morning with the imperial court's newspaper, but it just so happens that you are free now, so I'll give it to you now. Kang Yong said.

Hearing that it was his wife's letter, Kang Qincha's mood in the screen seemed to fall directly to the bottom, and he said indifferently: "Can you roughly describe the content of the letter." I don't want to watch it. ”

"Madame said, let you send the second son back to the capital, and said that if you can't find the person who injured the second son, you don't have to go back." Kang Yong carefully organized the original words in the letter, and said them with a little tact.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a water cup smashing on the ground and shattering from inside the screen. "Hmph, this shrew, leave her alone. If she writes again, you will reply directly to her official inspection in all directions, and there is no time to reply. As for the second son, let's stay here first, and then make a decision after the miracle doctor said by King Miao shows him. If the miracle doctor can't do it, it's not too late to send him back to Beijing. ”

"Yes." Na Yasuyong nodded and wrote it down. Later, he asked, "Shall we meet the people of the Wuliu Sect?" One of them, Han Ming, has been here three times, and wants to see you, but he refuses to explain his intentions, insisting that he will only say if he sees an adult. ”

"I can't imagine that we have only come to this Phoenix Mountain for the second day, there are so many things, who is this person surnamed Han?" Kang Qincha asked.

"He is one of the Three Qing swordsmen of the Wuliu Sect, and he is a senior brother with that Qiu Ming, but he has another identity, and his teacher is the chief alchemist of the palace, Qingxu Zhenren. It is said that even the emperor relies on this innocent and true person very much, and there is no harm in us seeing it. Kang Yongti said.

"I can't see him, and we have to keep our distance from the people in the palace, at least on this bright side. Although we are in Miaojiang, there are also many eyes staring at us. Those who get some silver from the toast and the merchant won't care, but those who come into contact with the Goyanagi faction without permission will definitely be in trouble. However, it is inconvenient for the official to meet him, but you can find a time to meet this person privately on behalf of the official. If they need any help, and it's not very troublesome, you can accept it and send someone to help them do it, and you don't have to reply to me. But remember not to inquire about the royal family. ”

Kang Qin almost told him.

That Kang Yong hesitated slightly, but still said: "Madam has always wanted to ask this Qingxu old Taoist to help with alchemy, can this be said?" ”

"This doesn't matter, but it's not easy to ask for that Qingxu, it is said that many of the emperor's concubines can't ask for his elixir, you can give it a try, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not. But remember, never do evil to the Wuliu faction, we had better not offend these people. And they will only need our help when they come to Miaojiang, so it's not bad to have a friendship with them. ”

Kang Qin seemed to be a little tired, and finally asked, "But is there anything else?" ”

"No, other things, my subordinates will let people sort out the abridgement and give it to you tomorrow morning." Kang Yong said.

"Then you can also go and rest, just let other people be on duty, you don't have to be on duty here, remember what I just explained, go down." Kang Qincha commanded.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates are retired."

Yasunaga retreated to the doorway where he was guarding, then pushed the door open and walked out of the house, calling two officers to guard the door. I went to the next room to rest.

Xiao Yao listened to the conversation between the two, and realized that there were so many purposes for this Kang Qin's trip. I don't know what the prime minister asked him to raise these 500,000 taels of silver for? It is obviously a very important thing for this person surnamed Kang to care so much about this matter.

Xiao Yao never believed that the prime minister would lack these small money. Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, not to mention the dignified prime minister. The image of Kazu-shen suddenly flashed in his mind.

Also, how did the three people from the Wuliu Sect leave the beast den? Didn't they want to look for the eyeless silkworm, how could they come to this Phoenix Mountain again, could it be that this eyeless silkworm appeared in Phoenix Mountain? They came to find this Qincha surnamed Kang, they must have wanted some help, and if they went to follow Kang Yong to see Han Ming, it would be really dangerous.

That Han Ming's martial arts should be the highest among the three, Peng Shan didn't take the three of them to the dinner last time, and he didn't see the three of them last time he went to King Peng's palace, so I don't know where they went.

Xiao Yao thought about it for a while, he came here tonight to prepare for some things in advance, although he didn't see that Dewey, he was worried that he would fall into the trap of the other party, but he had improved a lot of martial arts recently, and it was a pity to miss the opportunity tonight.

Quietly moved to the top of the house where Kang Qincha slept, and then gently moved a piece of the roof tiles, and clearly saw that Kang Qincha had fallen asleep at this time.

Xiao Yao gathered the true qi at his fingertips, wrapped the two droplets, and stretched out his hand towards the sleeping Kang Qincha below, and the two drops of water wrapped in the true qi easily hit the left and right temples of Kang Qincha.

The matter was done, Xiao Yao gently put the tiles back in place again, covered them, and left quietly.

After taking a few turns in the villa and making sure that no one was following him, he quietly returned to the bamboo building where he was.

Hu Yiyi and the eldest lady had already fallen asleep, but tonight they could do this thing, Xiao Yao's heart was naturally happy, and he was lying on the bed with the little monkey in his arms, thinking about what to do next.
