"This, back to the king of Haidu, we are all small business, and the profit is very thin, I am afraid that we will not be able to pay the tax of one out of ten stipulated by the imperial court. ”

As Zhou Jian put down his words, the businessmen below suddenly couldn't sit still, if they were driven out of the sea dusk, let alone doing business, it would be very difficult to gain a foothold elsewhere.

A merchant raised his fist and complained. This businessman is like a bitter gourd face, but his complaints at the moment are also vivid, making people mistakenly think that Zhou Jian is so ruthless and forced him to become a prostitute.

"Chen Qing, you don't have to complain, no one in the city knows, your family has 100,000 yuan, and you are a first-class merchant. The king is just taking a percentage of your income from the tax according to the rules of the court. But you are crying and crying out to the heavens and the earth, what is your intention?"

Before Zhou Jian could say anything, Duan Hao had already screamed loudly, his expression was awe-inspiring, and he was not angry and arrogant.

"This. Chen Qing was speechless when he heard this, and he was defeated.

"Anyway, so be it, one out of ten, as long as you pay taxes every month and don't evade taxes, the widow won't embarrass you. To be honest, Zhou Jian was very polite and wanted to discuss with these merchants, and politely solved the matter. The merchant pays the tax, he feeds the army to guard the sun, and everyone benefits. I don't want the merchant's face, it's really disgusting.

Zhou Jian felt that it was really humiliating to reason with them. Saying that, Zhou Jian got up and said to Duan Hao: "The widow will take a step first, and you will take care of the aftermath." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Jian brushed his sleeves away.

"No. Duan Hao promised.

Zhou Jian left, and it was not a pleasant walk. This made the businessmen who were eager to keep money suddenly feel cold in their necks. suddenly remembered that Zhou Jian ordered to kill Wei Xiang and Xu He. Even sect disciples like Wei Xiaoyu were killed.

If you really want to kill them, you just need to raise your hand and drop your sword, and you don't have to blink your eyes. Especially Chen Qing, he not only played tricks but also pretended to be poor and pitiful just now.

Thinking of Zhou Jian's thunderbolt method, he suddenly pulled out a cold sweat, secretly scolded himself for being too short-sighted, and was glad that Zhou Jian did not kill him in a rage.

Just when Chen Qing and the merchants were rejoicing, Duan Hao suddenly glanced at the merchants and said, "The king of Haiyang is the king of the city, so he naturally wants to talk about the law. So sit down and have a kind talk with you. But if you don't want to talk to the king of the sunset about the law, and about the fist, and about the hardness. The King of the Sea Dusk will not be polite, you think clearly. ”

Duan Hao's tone was calm, and his eyes were like swords, which suddenly made the hearts of many businessmen tremble.

There are some things that Zhou Jian can't say, but Duan Hao can say them. Some people are so cheap, you have to reason with him, he wants to play hooligan. You can only subdue him if you are more rogue than him.

If these words were said by Zhou Jian, it would seem to be out of level, and it would also seem impatient and aggressive. But it was different when Duan Hao said it, he put on a posture of a loyal minister, sharing worries for the king, which was remarkable.

Especially in the recent period of time, Duan Hao has handled the major affairs of Haiyang in an orderly manner, and he has also dealt with a lot of strong casual cultivation, and his prestige is enough.

"In any case, the old man will send someone to your store within a month to investigate the income. Taxation is carried out again. Either you leave the sea in a month, or you evade taxes and get caught in prison. Duan Hao's tone was still very strong and said.

"No. ”

Most of the merchants trembled in their hearts and agreed in unison.

"It's so good, let's all disperse. I hope the old man won't see you in prison in a month's time. Duan Hao smiled with satisfaction when he saw this, and said.

"Farewell. ”

Seeing that Duan Hao had chased away the guests, the merchants said goodbye one after another and left with a concern in their hearts.

"Toast without eating and eating and drinking. Duan Hao sat for a moment and muttered to himself. Immediately, he got up and walked out of the hall, and came to a nearby room.

This room is not big, and the layout is also simple, there is only one seat, which is the room where Duan Hao rests. At this moment, Zhou Jianzheng was kneeling in the only position.

"How?" Seeing Duan Hao walk in, Zhou Jian asked.

"I put down my words, but according to the minister's observation, many merchants are not satisfied, and I am afraid that they will cause trouble. Duan Hao sighed when he heard this and said.

"It's the widow's mistake, the annihilation of merchants is the annihilation of businessmen, short-sighted, it is difficult to reason with them. ”

Zhou Jian also shook his head when he heard the words and said, but he made up his mind, be tougher, let the businessmen live, and not destroy the businessmen among the businessmen, and eradicate all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

In supporting honest businessmen and solving problems in one fell swoop. Since he knew that the businessman was not enough to make a plan, he quickly cut through the mess, and it was not his style to procrastinate.

"No. Duan Hao promised when he heard this.

"In addition, you should also pay attention to that Chen Fuhai, the widow knows from Xue Hua's mouth that this person is hostile to the widow. Now the widow is going to make a move on the merchants to make them pay their due taxes, and the widow is afraid that this man will do something. ”

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Jian thought of Chen Fuhai again, couldn't help frowning, and said.

"Don't worry, the king will send someone to keep an eye on Chen Fuhai. Duan Hao nodded when he heard this, and said.

"Well, let's go down and do it. Other than that, Zhou Jian didn't have anything to do, so he sent away.

"No. Duan Hao thanked him, turned around and walked out.

"The sages once said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, which is somewhat idealistic. After Duan Hao left, Zhou Jian couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Haidu's financial situation, situation, foreign enemies, etc.

Just when Zhou Jian and Duan Hao were coking in order to rectify the problems of commerce. Chen Fuhai also returned to the Dan Pavilion and returned to his alchemy room.

In the hall of the county government, Chen Fuhai didn't speak, but he kept looking at it. In his opinion, Zhou Jian's first step was to collect taxes, and the second part was to eradicate their merchants, eradicate them all, and drag Hailun City in his hands.

"The old man has eaten more salt than you have ever eaten. Don't think that by putting on a polite face, you can hide from the old man's eyes. Peaceful coexistence? If it is someone else, it is okay for the old man to pay taxes honestly. But you Zhou Jian, hum. ”

Chen Fuhai sat down and thought for a moment, then thought in his heart and snorted coldly.

However, although Chen Fuhai snorted so coldly and despised Zhou Jian strategically, he had to be cautious, Wei Xiaoyu's lessons from the past.

The combat power of Hua Ping and Chen Ding is too strong, like a mountain peak in front of them, and they are powerless.

Chen Fuhai thought about it, and suddenly felt a little weak.

"Pavilion Master, Deputy Commander Chen is here. At this moment, under the attic, someone trembled and said.

"Chen Ding?" Chen Fuhai suddenly burst into a rage, and rushed out of the attic with Zhenyuan. Escape, the farther away the better. At this moment, all the contempt, foundation, and plan in Chen Fuhai's heart turned into floating clouds, and some could only flee for their lives.

Chen Ding, this person is really famous in the Zhou Kingdom, and it has the effect of making the monks below the Jindan period frightened.

"I'm not here to trouble you, but to cooperate. Just when Chen Fuhai picked up Zhenyuan and was about to escape, a deep voice sounded, and then a figure stepped into the attic.

Suddenly, Chen Fuhai's true yuan was frightened away, and he only felt that his whole body was crushed by the mountain peak, and his whole body couldn't move.

On the one hand, this is because of Chen Ding's reputation, and on the other hand, Chen Ding's cultivation is also three layers higher than Chen Fuhai.

"The dignified Dan Pavilion Lord, Chen Fuhai, who is on the third floor of the foundation building period, is this only the ability to do this?" Chen Ding let out a sigh and said. Immediately afterwards, the momentum of the whole body was free, and it converged in an instant.

In front of Commander Chen, he didn't dare to claim to be capable. As Chen Ding's momentum converged, Chen Fuhai suddenly felt a lot better, smiled bitterly, and said.

"If you want to be the enemy of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, it is wishful thinking. Seeing this, Chen Ding shook his head, came to the side and knelt down, and said.

Chen Fuhai's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "What does Commander Chen mean?"

"What do I mean?" Seeing this, Chen Ding pulled his face, showed an ugly smile, and said, "You can do whatever you want, Hua Ping and I won't care." ”

When Chen Ding came to see Chen Fuhai, naturally nothing good would happen. He hated Zhou Jian's slap very much. didn't want Zhou Jian to go smoothly, but he couldn't get rid of Zhou Jian in advance, so he found Chen Fuhai, a good chess piece. First, Chen Fuhai's cultivation was sufficient, and second, Chen Fuhai was hostile to Zhou Jian.

Chen Fuhai's heart moved at first, but as the conversation continued, a touch of vigilance emerged, and he raised his fist and asked, "I have a question that I want to ask Commander Chen to answer." If it is offensive, please also ask Chen to lead Haihan. ”

Say. Chen Ding's expression did not move, and he said lightly.

"If Commander Chen and Commander Hua don't care, then why would Wei Xiaoyu die?" Chen Fuhai asked with courage when he saw this.

"There is a girl next to Zhou Jian, called Zhao Feng'er, she has a two-winged purple python in her hand, a second-order fourth-level cultivation, Wei Xiaoyu was twisted off by it. Chen Ding was not angry and said.

"No wonder. Chen Fuhai was sure in his heart when he heard this, and suddenly said.

"Although I don't make a move with Hua Ping, with your current situation, you are not the opponent of that purple python. Moreover, Zhou Jian also has a green wolf puppet in his hand, building the power of the first layer. Chen Ding said, with a faint disappointment.

"The old man alone is naturally not an opponent, but the problem is that in the city of sea dusk, there are still two monks in the foundation building period, and besides, the old man has been rampant in the Great Zhou for so long, so he naturally has one or two friends. Chen Fuhai smiled slightly when he heard this, and said.

"That's very good. Chen Dingyan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he nodded and said. The goal had been achieved, so Chen Ding got up and wanted to leave, but just before leaving, Chen Ding turned around and said, "By the way, let me remind you." Xue Hua, who controls Bao Zhai, is a scourge to keep. ”

"Thank you, Commander Chen, for the point. Chen Fuhai's heart moved when he heard this, and he raised his fist and said.

"Farewell. Chen Ding nodded, turned around and walked out of the attic, and Chen Fuhai got up to see him off.
