Inside the Lord's Mansion of Gallo.

A person dressed as a royal sat on the main seat in the city lord's hall, while the city lord Wu Yunfei on the side sat on the side seat.

Take a closer look, this person dressed as a royal is actually Lin Qinghuai, the prince of the dynasty.

"The minister doesn't know that the eldest prince is coming, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive the eldest prince!" Wu Yunfei saluted Lin Qinghuai and said.

Lin Qinghuai waved his hand impatiently and said, "This kind of etiquette is not necessary, this prince came here at the behest of his father this time." ”

"I don't know what my emperor's will is?" Wu Yunfei glanced up at Lin Qinghuai and said.

"Martial City Lord, you are also a military general, and you have also been a city lord in this Garo City for a few years, why do you not know how to be flexible?" Lin Qinghuai looked at Wu Yunfei with a disgusted expression and said: "You also know that our Great Xuan Dynasty was defeated some time ago, and the Great Xia not only cut off the city, but also asked to give them the annual silver, and now the treasury is tight, where is there so much money to lose?" Your Garo City is a famous and rich place in my Great Xuan Dynasty, so naturally you have to bear a little more. ”

"This..."Wu Yunfei frowned and said, "Some time ago, didn't you just take 30,000 taels of silver from our Gallo City to support the national treasury?" ”

"You also know that your money, as well as the construction of the entire dynasty, and the salary of the army, which do not need the money of the treasury to pay? This time, I will follow my father's wishes, hoping that you can find a way to squeeze out a little more to benefit the people of Daxuan! Lin Qinghuai said.

"I don't know if the eldest prince has my emperor's edict?" Wu Yunfei asked suddenly.

As soon as he heard this, Lin Qinghuai's face sank and said, "What? Is the lord of Wu City unable to trust this prince? Do you think this prince will fake the holy decree? ”

Hand oracle?

Where does Lin Qinghuai have any instructions?

He just came to the cities with the help of his father's name to collect money.

If you don't accumulate money like this, how can you ensure your happy life as a prince?

Knowing that Lin Qinghuai did not have the emperor's edict in his hand, Wu Yunfei understood seven or eight points in his heart.

But the person in front of him is the current prince, although he has not officially established himself as the crown prince, but if he refuses to go back today, I am afraid that Lin Qinghuai will wear small shoes for himself everywhere in the future.

Wu Yunfei can become the lord of a city from the identity of a military general, and he is naturally not the kind of elm head who will not be flexible in the officialdom.

Looking at the current situation, I can only consider myself unlucky.

"I don't know how many silver taels the eldest prince needs?" Wu Yunfei asked in a low voice.

Lin Qinghuai casually gestured to a two.

Seeing this, Wu Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

20,000 taels of silver, Wu Yunfei asked the wealthy merchants in Garo City to donate a few thousand taels each, and he could still make it up.

In the next second, Lin Qinghuai said an astronomical number, which made Wu Yunfei suddenly thunderbolt.

"Two hundred thousand taels."

As soon as he heard this, Wu Yunfei's heart was cold, this Lin sentiment was too greedy, right?

"What? Is the Martial City Lord very embarrassed? Lin Qinghuai glanced at Wu Yunfei.

"It's... The eldest prince, 200,000 is really a lot! Wu Yunfei said embarrassedly.

"Humph!" Lin Qinghuai stood up and threatened: "That prince can only tell his father truthfully and treat you Wu Yunfei for a crime of disloyalty!" ”

"The Great Prince!" Wu Yunfei pounced and knelt down: "In the past few years, Garo City has been fighting again and again, and the economy is really sluggish, and many people can't even eat!" The minister really can't do it! ”

After Lin Qinghuai saw Wu Yunfei's soft appearance, he pretended to sit down and said, "Didn't this prince hear that in a few days, your Gallo City will hold an annual exchange meeting of rich businessmen from various counties?" When the time comes, wouldn't it be enough for the rich businessmen in these twelve counties to donate 20,000 yuan each? ”

One person donates one or two thousand taels?

Hearing this, Wu Yunfei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

These richest men usually let them take out a few thousand taels of silver and complain, but now let them take out 20,000 taels, isn't this equivalent to killing them?

It's no wonder that this group of wealthy businessmen is reluctant.

Take Ye Xu as an example, the current Ye Xu has basically monopolized the entire industry in Wuping County, and his cost and profit are only 20,000 or 30,000 silver a year.

So this Lin Qinghuai is really a lion's mouth!

Just when Wu Yunfei was depressed, an entourage's voice came from outside the door.

"Lord Bao City, there is a person outside the door who claims to be Ye Xu of Wuping County holding your token and saying that he wants to see you!"

"Ye Xu?" Lin Xian Qing reacted quickly when he heard this name.

A few days ago, his good sister Lin Qingxuan praised this kid in front of her father, and even said that this victory over Ye Xu in Ryudao was the first achievement.

This made Lin Qinghuai very unhappy.

"Well....you tell him I'm not there, let him visit tomorrow." Wu Yunfei thought for a moment and said.

"Wait." Lin Qinghuai suddenly said: "I really want to meet this Ye Xu, let him come to see me!" ”

"Huh?" Wu Yunfei keenly noticed that this Lin Qinghuai seemed to have a lot of hostility towards Ye Xu, and hurriedly said: "This named Ye Xu is just a small businessman in Wuping County, and he doesn't work for the prince..."

"What? Is the Martial City Lord doing things for me? Lin Qinghuai looked at Wu Yunfei with great dissatisfaction.

"Don't dare..."

After a while, the subordinate took Ye Xu to Wu Yunfei.

"Ye Xu has seen the city lord!" Ye Xu respectfully flew towards Wu Yun and saluted.

"Hmm... Don't be polite, this is Lin Qinghuai, the eldest prince of my dynasty, you may see him for the first time, so you just missed a little courtesy, why don't you make up for it now? Wu Yunfei took the opportunity to find a step for Ye Xu to go down, so as to avoid waiting for Ye Xu to be caught by Wu Yunfei.

Ye Xu was stunned for a moment, glanced at Lin Qinghuai, who was holding Erlang's legs on the chair, and knew in his heart that this guy was probably a complete loser.

Ye Xu couldn't help but think in his heart.

Is this guy really Lin Qingxuan's brother?

"The number of etiquette is exempt, I heard that Ye Gongzi is very capable, my second sister praised you in front of her father, and when I looked at it today, sure enough... Very average. Lin Qinghuai looked at Ye Xu with a sneer.

"Well, Ye Xu was originally an ordinary person, and the second princess really praised it." Ye Xu said.

"You don't hate it, this prince is in a good mood today, leave 20,000 taels, get out of here." Lin Qinghuai shrugged his shoulders and said.

"I don't know why Ye Xu gave the eldest prince 20,000 taels?" Ye Xu said with a smile.

"Because if you don't give it, it will end badly." Lin Qinghuai looked indifferent: "You have to know that this prince is going to kill you, it's easier than killing a mosquito, right?" Martial City Lord? ”

Ye Xu smiled slightly, but he already had the answer in his heart.

"Great Prince, Ye Xu doesn't have so much cash on him!"
