Chapter 766: Being a Man, You Can't Be Shameless!
Chen Xing's words can be described as hitting the nail on the head and hitting the nail on the head. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Even Qiao Wuyang, who already regarded Chen Xing as an enemy, froze in place and couldn't refute it.
As a king, you don't care who is the master of the 57th district.
All he cares about is whether the taxes are paid on time and in amount!
The magnates that the local army relied on to maintain are all dead, so even if the local army takes back the 57th region, it will not be able to pay the full amount of taxes in a short time!
If it is forcibly collected, it is likely to inspire a civil uprising in the 57th region!
Just when everyone fell silent, Chen Xing said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, give me the 57th Region, and I can guarantee to pay taxes on time and in full." ”
"You?"
Qiao Wuyang sneered:
"The economy of the 57th Region is not good at all in all regions, and even now, taxes have been in arrears for several years."
"And this is still in the presence of powerful people who are good at creating wealth."
"Now that the magnates in the 57th Region who will make money are dead, he can pay his taxes on time and in full just by relying on him, a poor boy who started from the border army?"
"Humph! It's not that I look down on you Chen Xing! If you can do it, I'll take off Qiao Wuyang's head and kick it for you! ”
Hu Weiyang on the other side said coldly: "Is Lord Qiao's head round enough?" ”
"You? Are you ridiculing Lao Tzu's head for not being qualified to kick Chen Xing as a ball? ”
"Oh, oh, why should Lord Joe be like a ball? Mistress Joe can't be a ball! ”
"You!"
Qiao Wuyang was so angry that he almost didn't swear in front of the old king.
The old king raised his hand to stop the two of them bickering, "Chen Xing, the conditions you put forward are indeed good. Strictly speaking, the 57th Region does not belong to the magnates, nor does it belong to the local army, but it belongs to the king after all. What I want most is regional stability and economic prosperity. If you can guarantee that – then I'll give you the 57th Territory, and that's not a problem. ”
"Your Majesty! No! Qiao Wuyang was about to cry.
"Your Majesty is wise, Chen Xing, thank you for your grace!" Hu Weiyang urged excitedly, eager to make raw rice into mature rice immediately.
Chen Xing was about to open his mouth to thank him, but the old king raised his hand and said, "Slow! ”
"First of all, you have to make sure that within a month of you taking over the 57th Region, you will pay off any taxes you owe."
"Second, I'm just letting you temporarily manage the 57th Region, and if you don't do well enough, I'll take back your rights at any time. Of course, if you do a good job, I can promote you to magistrate, and be in charge of not only the main city of the 57th Region, but all the surrounding towns of the entire region. ”
"As for the third--"
The old king of Zhulu coughed slightly, "Third, you must leave for the capital of Zhulu immediately and accept my supervision, so that you will not fight again and cause trouble in the whole country." ”
Hearing this, Chen Xing couldn't help but smile slightly.
The first two conditions are actually intended to disguise the third condition.
Finding an excuse to get him to the capital of the deer is the truest purpose of His Majesty.
Hu Weiyang, the commander of the border army, said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the first two conditions should also be, but the third condition, isn't it too harsh!" Chen Xing was not at fault in the war between the two armies, if Chen Xing was able to fight, it would be ...... to imprison him."
Qiao Wuyang, who was on the side, said with a smug face: "Your Majesty did the right thing!" A warmonger like Chen Xing should be imprisoned! Never turn over! ”
The old king didn't care about the opinions of the two commanders at this time, he looked directly into Chen Xing's eyes and asked, "Chen Xing, can you agree to these three conditions?" ”
Chen Xing smiled faintly, "Your Majesty's request, how can I refuse?" However, His Majesty gave me the 57th Region, but asked me to go to the capital, so what if there are shameless people who want to beat me up for the idea of the 57th Region? ”
The old king immediately said majestically: "My order is the king's order!" From now on, whoever dares to attack the fifty-seven regions will be tantamount to attacking the entire Zhulu royal family! It will be punished for treason! ”
The smug look on Qiao Wuyang's face suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He originally thought in his heart that after Chen Xing went to the capital, he would wait for the opportunity to send troops to recover the 57th Region, but now it seems that this is impossible.
Chen Xing immediately said: "Okay, I promise you, Your Majesty." But please give me three days to take care of the 57th Region and the new base. ”
The old king shook his head, "Three days will not work, one day at most." ”
There was a hint of sadness in his tone.
Chen Xing couldn't help but frown, "Yes, Your Majesty." That's a day. ”
"Good."
The old king of Zhulu smiled and said, "I'm glad that this matter can be resolved satisfactorily, Lord Qiao Wuyang, Lord Hu Weiyang, are you all satisfied with my ruling?" ”
Hu Weiyang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, and your subordinates admire it so much!" ”
The muscles on Qiao Wuyang's face twitched, "Your Majesty, it's right that you imprisoned Chen Xing, a warmonger, under your nose, but just like this, it is difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" The losses of my 57th local army ......"
The old king's tone instantly became indifferent, "Lord Qiao Wuyang, this battle is the battle that you declared first, right?" You have 60,000 elite soldiers, right? The other side only has 4,000 border soldiers, right? You can be defeated in this battle, are you still embarrassed to talk about compensation for losses in front of me? It's all a shame to be thrown on this, do you still have the face to compensate? Be a man, you can't be shameless! ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Qiao Wuyang's face was full of shame when he was reprimanded, and he didn't dare to mention the matter of compensation anymore.
The old king glanced at Chen Xing again, and then disappeared from the holographic video.
The intelligence officer, Octopus, immediately said: "My lords, this meeting has ended, and I hope that you can all strictly abide by His Majesty's will and do not take risks. ”
"Yes, Master Zhang!"
The octopus nodded, and its figure disappeared from the holographic video.
"Chen Xing!"
As soon as the old king and the octopus left, Qiao Wuyang looked fierce: "Hmph, don't think that the king gave you the fifty-seven regions, just to be good to you!" The king just wants the tax money of the fifty-seven districts! ”
Chen Xing smiled faintly.
He didn't want to quarrel with Qiao Wuyang at all.
For true leaders, there is no point in arguing.
Either go to war directly, or run patiently and start a war when the time comes.
Therefore, Chen Xing just smiled lightly and said, "I used 4,000 border troops to destroy your 60,000 local troops." ”
Qiao Wuyang shouted angrily: "You were imprisoned by the king to the capital, I see how you manage the fifty-seven regions!" Don't forget, the area around the 57th Region is the territory of our local army, and I will make it impossible for you to make any deal in the 57th Region! ”
"I used 4,000 border troops to destroy your 60,000 local troops."
"! Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants you to not pay a penny of taxes! I'm going to let you die in the capital of the deer! ”
"I used 4,000 border troops to destroy your 60,000 local troops."
"Chen Xing!"
Qiao Wuyang clutched his heart in pain and said breathlessly, "Do you want to say anything else?" ”
"Yes."
Chen Xing smiled and said, "Your 60,000 local troops were wiped out by me with 4,000 border troops. ”
"Poof--"
Qiao Wuyang spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
