In the end, the two sides exchanged views in a friendly and frank manner.

Friendly and honest indeed.

Then Zhang Shuye and the others walked down the city tower and officially stepped into the capital, which had been separated from the imperial court for two months, as if they had entered an enemy country, and they walked silently in the unfriendly eyes on both sides.

The streets are still the same.

The prosperity is still there.

Even the townspeople on both sides still have the same native accents.

But......

Why are they all playing with a sharp axe in their hands?

Why are there no more docile citizens who are playing with axes and staring sideways at the same time, why are the women lying on their stomachs in the open windows on both sides holding equally sharp axes instead of embroidered needles and threads, why are the children playing on the roadside not singing innocent nursery rhymes, but the human heads drawn on the axes and splitting the target?

This is the capital?

This is the first good place of the Great Song Dynasty, a model of education?

It's a devil's cave, full of glittering axes as far as the eye can see, men with axes pinned to their waists, women with axes in their hands, old people wielding axes to show their young age, and children throwing axes as their favorite game.

They can't all cut people with their axes, do they?

Imagining the scene of countless axes chopping down blood splashes, Zhang Shuye and the others shuddered.

"Brothers and sisters, don't you welcome you to the city?"

Wang Yue shouted.

There was immediately laughter on both sides.

Immediately after that, everyone put down their work and quickly gathered on both sides of the royal street, and then raised their axes one by one and started their favorite axe dance, and soon more and more people came out to join, and even the citizens who had not yet walked in front of them quickly gathered the axe dance. This obviously strange and barbaric dance made Zhang Shuye and the others shudder, they lowered their heads and silently increased their speed, and in this way, they quickly passed through the royal street, and then entered the Suzaku Gate, which did not even have a city gate.

The barricades inside are still being demolished, and the blood on the ground can still be seen.

The cavalry of the Changsheng Army, which maintained order, also stood on the side of the road on horseback, and at the entrance of an alley in front, a large number of men, women, and children who were crying and shouting came out in the drive of the soldiers.

An elegant man inside suddenly stared at Uncle Zhang.

"Zhang waits to save me!"

He rushed out at once, rushed to Uncle Zhang's night horse and cried.

Zhang Shuye was just about to dismount when the soldiers escorting him rushed over and whipped him......

"You thief with the army to fight!"

He cursed in the latter's screams.

Well, it's a bit weird, but in fact, it's a soldier scolding a Confucian thief for being a soldier.

"Don't be rude, I didn't see you here, who is this?"

Wang Yue shouted.

"Back to Duke Yan, this is Cai Ying, the son of Cai Jing's old thief, who is about to be escorted to the barracks for detention, waiting to be assassinated in Yanshan Mansion."

The soldier hastened to reply.

"Well, his father and brother are indeed unforgivable, but he himself does not have too many bad deeds, not to mention that he originally had a marriage contract with Emperor Maode, for the sake of Emperor Ji's face, don't be too harsh, tell Shi Jin, and arrange a copying errand for him when he arrives at Yanshan Mansion."

Wang Yue said.

"Little obedience!"

The soldier hurriedly saluted.

Poor Cai Yan struggled and wanted to ask Zhang Shuye for help, but then the two soldiers behind him came over, picked him up and dragged him away, and he stretched out his hand to Zhang Shuye while being dragged away.

"Yan Gong, the wife who snatched people, the house of extermination, is still pretending here."

Uncle Zhang said with emotion.

"Zhang Shumi, where do you start? It was King Yun who killed his father, but it was not me, copying his house and stabbing him to Yanshan Mansion is also a holy decree, what does it have to do with Wang? ”

Wang Yue said.

"Since King Yun conspired with Cai Yuanchang, why did he kill Cai Yuanchang?"

Liu Tao sneered.

"That's right, since King Yun conspired with Cai Jing, there is no way to explain that he killed Cai Jing!"

Wang Yue suddenly remembered to ignore this problem.

"Back to the general, that King Yun actually wanted to exonerate Cai Jing, and it was our people who arrested Cai Jing, but when he was escorted to King Yun, he and Tang Ke and others tried to exonerate Cai Jing, but it was General Shi and the brothers who did not agree, so they forcibly beheaded the old thief, during which there was also an official who tried to obstruct and instigated King Yun to stop it, but King Yun did not dare to insist when he saw that the people were angry, and Tang Ke and others were present in this matter."

A subordinate next to him said.

"Ah, this can be explained, this King Yun is difficult to become an atmosphere after all, and even his own accomplices are betrayed!"

Wang Yue said with satisfaction.

This explanation is still very reasonable, and Tang Ke and others will definitely testify.

Zhang Shuye and Liu Tao took a deep breath at the same time.

However, they are all well-cultivated people, and finally controlled the desire to spray his saliva, but Wang Yue didn't care about them, Yan Guogong was looking at the Cai family members who were escorted past at the moment, it was obvious that the Cai family's father and son were very appreciative, and these concubines were all beautiful......

"This generation is innocent, but it is implicated by Cai Shun's father and son, the law of the country is nothing more than human affection, go back and let those brothers in our army who have not yet started a family, go over and ask, if you are willing, you can marry, they must be willing, the act of robbery is absolutely not allowed, and those who dare to occupy will not be spared!"

Wang Yue said to the subordinate.

"Yan Gong is really kind-hearted!"

Later, he sighed.

In fact, he is not a shame, after all, for these women, it is really worse if they are exiled, and if they follow those officers of the victorious army, at least they can have no worries about food and clothing.

"It's too good to be honest, it's just a matter of comparing your heart to your heart."

Wang Yue said with a smile.

This is an active contact, and it is worth making a deep acquaintance.

"Zhegong is a native of Fuzhou, have you ever heard of oil?"

He said.

"I have heard that this thing comes from the Yan'an area, but it is called lipid water locally, and the name of oil is called by Shen Mengxi Gong when Yan Yan Road passed through, and Yan Gong is knowledgeable."

Zhe Keqiu said with a smile.

"I can buy it for money, I want as much as I want."

Wang Yue said.

Get a bunch of gasoline bottles and smash them down when defending, the effect is undoubtedly excellent, not to mention that you can also build ships with asphalt, as for oil refining, it is nothing more than a cauldron boiling pipes and condensing.

"It's worth talking about in detail."

Zhe Keqiu said with a smile.

Of course he likes the good thing of sending money to the door, not to mention that it is not bad to have a deep friendship with Wang Yue at present, at least this guy really has money in his hands, and he can also cooperate in some deeper cooperation in the future, such as engaging in smuggling or something.

Zhang Shuye and the others watched coldly, expressionless......

The next banquet was without any waves, in fact, it was to re-clarify the results of the previous discussion in front of the great painter.

The latter didn't care about anything now, and his only goal was to send Wang Yue, the plague god, away as soon as possible.

100,000 Xuanhe money, gritting his teeth can still be made, although the imperial city was looted, but Genyue was not affected, so the great painter's private money hidden in Genyue was not touched. Half of Cangzhou Mansion is not worth mentioning, Wang Yue's Dengzhou Mansion issue was entangled, Zhang Shuye and others resolutely disagreed, and finally Yao Gu and others were peacemakers and persuaded Wang Yue to reduce it to a county in Dengzhou Prefecture.

That is, Penglai County.

Wang Yue actually just wants the swordfish village, after all, there is a freezing period in the mouth of the Haihe River, but the knifefish village does not, and he needs a freeze-free port in winter.

And the most critical problem left is the Kaifeng Commune.

Zhang Shuye and the others did not oppose the Kaifeng Commune, and they also knew very well that it was impossible to solve the Kaifeng Commune unless they let go of a continuous war, or even completely destroy Kaifeng, or even catch the emperor's whole family.

This is still not Wang Yue's shot.

If Wang Yue joined the Kaifeng Commune group, the result could only be the destruction of the emperor's whole family.

Since this can only be agreed, and before solving Wang Yue, it is best to try to maintain the peace here, in the final analysis, they surrounded the emperor's whole family, unless the imperial court moved the capital later, they always had to face this embarrassing passive situation, and it must be difficult to move the capital, so I could only endure it.

But......

Taxes are paid.

The commercial tax of Kaifeng City was an important item of the imperial court's annual revenue.

After all, the Zhao family can monopolize the water mill, Kaifeng's commercial taxes, and various monopoly industry incomes, these are all very important components of the annual income, and the imperial court will be sad without this part, in fact, it will be very sad now, after all, Wang Yue has robbed too much, and this year's officials have been affected, and the military salaries in many places have been affected. Therefore, the Kaifeng Commune must pay taxes, autonomy can be, and taxes must be paid, which Yao Gu and others supported Zhang Shuye, because the imperial court did not have enough income to pay him.

Wang Yue still has to respect their opinions, after all, there are 30,000 elites outside.

It's really elite.

He is still happy to let Yao Gu and others play the role of the savior of the Zhao family.

Then we have to include taxes.

A fixed number of taxes were given to the imperial court every year.

But it is certainly far from the past, what Wang Yueneng promised is half of the past commercial tax, which is only a legal commercial tax, and of course it is not counted if the officials set up a name to fill their pockets. As for the income of the imperial court's monopoly industry, he didn't care, because the Kaifeng Commune was law-abiding, so there was no crime of smelting iron by himself. As for those lawbreakers who smelt iron without permission, or even mint money privately, this Kaifeng Commune's subordinate Fa Cao will strictly investigate, and once it is discovered, it will be severely punished, so there will be no such problem.

Of course, it must be checked by the Kaifeng Commune itself.

If the imperial court dares to send someone to investigate or even arrest someone, then be careful to summon the militia in the Kaifeng Commune.

Hundreds of thousands of axes, you can do it yourself!

As for the gap in the imperial court's finances......

"The construction of all parts of the country has been stopped, the officials who are purely idle have been cut, and the local city and city departments have increased taxes on export goods, what a big deal, now we are courtiers, the most important task is to ensure the cultivation of the official family, everyone, the medicine of the immortals cannot be stopped! The official family cultivating immortals is the most important, all the power is to cultivate immortals, and the financial tension must learn to live frugally, the official family will inevitably become immortals in the future, everything in this mortal world is not important, what does Gen Yue do to raise so many palace maids?

Are heavenly fairies bad? ”

Wang Yue said.

The great painter sighed gloomily......

What the hell is true or false about this bastard!
