Chapter 196: Grand Master
Mo Xiao turned his head to look at Wang Dahu.
But at this moment, a palm force swept across his side, and Mo Xiao broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and the secret path was not good.
A red shadow flew by behind him, and just when he was stunned, the Taoist priest actually detained the red-clothed Wang Xiang'er!
"Let go of me!"
The red-clothed Wang Xiang'er kept struggling, but the big hand of the Taoist priest was firmly encircled around her, and she couldn't break free at all.
"Xiang'er!"
Wang Dahu exclaimed urgently, and the peace of the past had long been gone.
"Don't worry, Master Wang, I won't kill her, let's tell me the cause of this incident."
"I'll tell you."
At that moment, another person entered the house.
"City Lord!"
When Wang Dahu saw the visitor, he immediately bowed his head and saluted.
"Zhao Yuchun!"
Mo Xiao's face was full of frost, as if he was about to burst out and kill people in the next moment.
The person who came was the city lord of Queensland, Zhao Yuchun.
Zhao Yuchun's face was like a peaceful lake, even if Mo Xiao's murderous intent was revealed, he was not moved at all.
"Daozun, meet again."
The Taoist priest smiled.
"Who should I have such a powerful sword momentum, it turns out to be the sword venerable of the knife gate, then it's no wonder."
"You still have a face."
Mo Xiao gritted his teeth, his face flushed.
Zhao Yuchun exhaled, put his hands behind his back, and waved his hand.
"Whoosh!"
Eight figures broke through the window and surrounded everyone in the room.
But I saw that these eight people were all extraordinary, with deep internal strength, and they were all first-class players at the Kuofu level.
Mo Xiao glanced at the eight people with a heavy expression.
"The head of the Eight Great Sects in Jiangnan!"
"Hahahaha, Daozun didn't expect it, the Daomen that has pressed Jiangnan for thousands of years also has today's situation."
Among the eight people, an old man in his fifties, holding a meteor hammer, looked at Mo Xiao viciously, and it could be seen that he had already had an opinion on the knife gate.
There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, and today is really full of dangers.
"Smack! Smack"
Zhao Yuchun clapped his hands, and the eight people regained their momentum.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuchun was quite satisfied, and took a step forward without any scruples.
"Before you die, let you be a ghost."
"This matter has to start from ten years ago, back then, before I became the lord of Queensland, I heard about the then city lord running away, so I specially brought people and horses to intercept them halfway."
"So much money, can they spend it?"
Wen Wen was very angry, as the lord of a city, he didn't want to make a living for the people, and he had to take away all the money and food in the city.
Zhao Yuchun smiled slightly, this kind of thing, the little girl naturally didn't understand.
"People's greed, how can there be an end, the position of the city lord is generally hereditary, so the matter of changing the city lord is unusual in itself, the city lord has committed something and has been found by the court, and the first thing I did when I arrived was to raid the city lord's mansion."
"I originally planned to ambush him on the road, but I didn't expect that he actually colluded with the mountain bandits, and the fact that I sent someone to ambush was already detected by the mountain bandits."
"Our people were trapped in the mountains and forests, and after several breakthroughs, the guards escorted me to escape, but naturally those people refused to let me go, and I hid in the mountains for several days."
"I thought I was going to be buried in the barren mountains and mountains, but I didn't want to meet Brother Wang, who was studying in the mountains, but Brother Wang asked me to put on his clothes, and I went to lure away the mountain bandits and let me escape from the mountain."
The Taoist priest turned his head to look at Wang Dahu, a little surprised.
"Master Wang, how did you survive from the hands of the mountain bandits, I'm really curious."
Wang Dahu said lightly
"What's strange, the mountain bandits have courage and no strategy, I just analyzed the current situation for them, no matter what, the new city lord escaped from the mountain, whether they kill me or not, they can't escape the new city lord's liquidation afterwards, everything else is slow, but it threatens the city lord's life, so naturally he will go all out to eliminate the mountain bandits."
"Two roads, one escapes and sets up another mountain, but this is not easy, I don't know how much time and effort it will take to rebuild the mountain, and decades of business will be ruined."
"The second tying up the old city lord and accepting the name, I can make peace from it, the city lord can turn a blind eye and allow them to continue to exist, as long as they don't go too far."
The Taoist priest glanced at Zhao Yunchun and said
"It's true that they don't have any brains, as long as they think about it a little, they can figure it out, no matter what, it is impossible for the new city lord to let them go."
Zhao Yuchun was silent, and Wang Dahu did not continue to speak, thinking about it, those mountain bandits must have been cleaned up afterwards.
Subsequently, Zhao Yuchun continued
"The old city lord was caught, and most of the grain was found, but only a part of the silver money was found, and most of it was taken away by those bosses."
"The city of Queensland has become a mess, the small traders have lost half of their life savings, and the grain that farmers have worked hard to grow has been sold, but they have not received a return."
"At that time, Brother Wang and I only had a batch of silver money and a large amount of grain, which we could have distributed evenly to the people."
"But first, all the silver tickets in the hands of small merchants have become waste paper, and they are divided equally, I am afraid that it will cause disputes among the people, and even turn into turmoil, and second, there is not enough money to take care of everyone."
"Brother Wang still thought of a way, he thinks that those Qianzhuang grain stores are all abandoned, even if we divide all the money and grain in our hands, it is impossible for the street to return to its previous appearance."
"The most important thing is to make this city work again, he collected all the abandoned money houses and grain stores, collected the silver tickets at a price of 30%, and let those traders have money again in their hands, and the shops can open again."
"Then, on the one hand, he took out a portion of the grain and gave it to the people who could not sustain himself, and on the other hand, he put most of the grain back into the market through the grain stores, so that those who still had some money in their hands could circulate their money again."
"But these are obviously far from enough, most of the people still have no money, and the money village has only allowed those small traders to recover some losses, and most of the farmers have no food and no money, so they can only rely on handouts to survive."
"At this time, another means was needed, and at this time, because we only used 30% of the money to recover the silver tickets, and the grain store business was very good, we quickly gathered a large amount of silver money."
"This money cannot be directly divided equally among the people, because all the equal distribution will cause unnecessary strife, after all, there will always be people who feel that they should not share the same as others, and it will also encourage the laziness of some people, leading to further depression in the city."
"But fortunately, the image of Wang Dahu has been completely established by us, just imagine, what should a big family do, naturally it is to enjoy and squander."
"It costs money to build the Mirror Lake, it costs money to raise the Mirror Lake, and it also costs people to build the inner courtyard, and it also costs people, Brother Wang can squander it to his heart's content and provide jobs to the poor people in the city as much as he wants."
"But this is not enough, how many jobs can be added to a lake and a yard, so Brother Wang proposed a new plan."
"We can't tell the people directly, we have money here, and we will share it with you, and that will be a big problem, so we need an excuse to throw these things out reasonably and let them circulate more naturally to the market."
"This is a bit like the practice of the human emperor amnesty for the world, there is always a reasonable excuse, and the excuse given by Brother Wang is to cure the disease."
"Treat your daughter, Brother Wang's daughter is naturally not sick, this is just an excuse, the plan is like this, first ask the best Lang Zhong in the city to treat Miss Wang."
"They naturally can't cure a person who is not sick in the first place, so Brother Wang began to seek other means, such as high monks and Taoist leaders."
"I found a candidate for Brother Wang, the Taoist only needs to be an example, and then in front of the people, tell Brother Wang that if he wants to have the heart to help the world, people of insight will come to help."
"In this way, Brother Wang naturally took advantage of every post to seek medical treatment, and distributed the property to the people, and it will not cause any disputes, after all, this is not the income of work, but a simple act of charity, and no one will be resentful because of it."
"But the country's finances are based on the circulation of gold and silver, and gold and silver are rare goods, and those merchants took away a large amount of gold and silver, and when there was no additional gold and silver output, there was always so much gold and silver circulating in the state city."
"Each state is financially independent, and it is not realistic to borrow a large amount of gold and silver from other state towns, so we have been just trying to maintain the operation of the city."
"Queensland is not a big city in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are too few foreign merchants coming and going, and it is difficult to increase the total reserves of gold and silver due to small-scale trade."
"However, the fall of Taiyang City has given us a new opportunity, the eighteen states are allied under the command of the alliance leader, once the alliance leader enters Penglai, it is necessary to redraw the territory, and the eighteen states will divide the world, and then we can include a large amount of gold and silver land when the world is redivided, and completely change the decline of Queensland!"
"Of course, the premise of all this is that there must be enough credit in order to achieve enough advantages when the world is divided."
"If at this time, we can collect the Jianghu forces in Jiangnan and gather under the command of the alliance leader, it will be a great achievement."
"Hahahaha."
The Taoist priest laughed, and then his eyes flashed fiercely.
"Understood, surrender the Daomen, unify the Jiangnan martial arts, that alliance leader will definitely look down on you, of course, if you can't surrender, you will be destroyed, and the martial arts will be attached."
"Although this step is a dangerous step and a mortal feud, it does bring hope to Queensland."
Zhao Yuchun looked directly at the Taoist priest
"It's just that our plan was actually intervened by the Taoist at the beginning, and Xiang'er, who is not sick, is really sick."
"The Taoist master's hand really played all of us around."
The Taoist priest grinned, kept laughing, holding Wang Xiang'er's card in his hand, and in the whole room, he was the least anxious.
Wang Dahu is naturally the most anxious, and what he is anxious about is not only Wang Xiang'er's safety, but also what the Taoist priest said before.
With a gloomy face, he stepped forward and asked
"You said that Xiang'er is not my daughter, what's the matter, I was born to my wife in October, how can it not be my daughter?"
The Taoist priest just laughed blindly and didn't reply to him at all.
"Boom!"
Mo Xiao couldn't help it, and with a slash, the transparent knife qi slashed out, and then the knife qi actually split into three, killing the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest's face changed abruptly, and he was still a distance of one or two zhang from Mo Xiao, but the sword qi did not disperse at all.
"Great Grandmaster! It turns out that you have been pressing the internal force. ”
He exclaimed in a low voice, he had actually underestimated Mo Xiao before, and the other party had already stepped into the realm of the Great Grandmaster!
"Wow!"
The majestic sword qi destroyed the window, and the internal force of the great grandmaster-level was vented without any scruples.
"Howl!"
Mo Xiao held his breath for several days, and finally was able to howl freely at the moment.
"Bang bang bang!"
The true qi that permeated the surroundings actually exploded like a series of firecrackers with his howl!
The eight masters in the room were directly swept out as the true qi exploded.
The three sword qi saw that they were about to tear the Taoist priest apart, but the Taoist priest laughed evilly, and actually blocked the red-clothed Wang Xiang'er in front of him as a meat shield.
"Brother Mo!"
Warmth exhaled when he saw this!
