"How much?"

Zhao Chongyuan asked subconsciously.

Xu Tiande, who was on the side, also raised his head curiously.

Queen Ma is even more looking forward to it.

"Your Majesty, it's six thousand eight hundred taels!"

"What?"

"So much?"

"All sold out?"

Listen to Wang Lishi's words.

Zhao Chongyuan, Xu Tiande, and Queen Ma were all a little confused.

According to Zhao Chongyuan's instructions, Wang Lishi found a place to sell these elixir and jade dew from Zhao Ding.

It's not that they don't know about it.

But they didn't expect it to be sold out in one day?

"Not only is it sold out, but the people who pay the deposit and make an appointment are waiting for three months.

Counting the deposit of thirty percent of the advance payment, and today's profit, that is thirty thousand five hundred and sixty taels. ”

The more Wang Lishi spoke, the more excited he became, and he looked at Zhao Chongyuan with his fingers crossed, with an excited face: "Your Majesty, if we sell all these elixir jade dew, the income of this item alone will be 668,000 taels of silver." ”

Boom!

Zhao Chongyuan trembled in his heart.

As the emperor of Daqian, it's not that he hasn't seen a lot of silver, but this silver comes too quickly!

Six hundred and sixty thousand taels, that's a year's tax for a medium-sized prefecture!

The total annual tax revenue of the entire Daqian is only 24 million taels, and it also includes all kinds of grain collected from the army.

And now there are 660,000 taels in one day?

"Your Majesty, this is a money grab."

Xu Tiande muttered to himself.

"By now, I can understand why Ding'er's Youzhou can develop so fast."

Queen Ma subconsciously sat down slowly on the table, her eyes dazed.

It's not that they're poor, it's that they haven't found the right way.

"Lux, hurry up and sell all the things I brought back from Youzhou this time, except for some Tiande military goggles and table clocks that are necessary for the Tiande military."

Zhao Chongyuan's voice trembled, and he hurriedly commanded.

Originally, he also planned to leave those perfumes and soaps as harem rewards.

But now it seems.

It's completely tyrannical.

Silver is so easy to earn, why not use it to make money?

With all this money, why should he worry about the emptiness of the treasury of Daqian?

At the same time, Zhao Chongyuan's heart was also a little angry.

These princes and nobles shouted every day that they had no money, and every time he Zhao Chongyuan wanted to raise some silver from these princes and nobles to help the people, these princes and nobles did everything possible to shirk and say that there was no silver at home, and all kinds of expenses in the house for a year were not enough.

Is this no money?

It's reluctant to take it out.

"Tiande, you clean up, wait for Lux to sell these things, collect the silver back, let's go to Youzhou again."

After coming back to his senses, Zhao Chongyuan hurriedly commanded Xu Tiande.

He went to Youzhou this time not only for these goods, but to see how many tricks Zhao Ding's kid had hidden for him.

"Then you want to send an edict, do you want to notify His Royal Highness King Yan first?"

Xu Tiande asked subconsciously.

Zhao Chongyuan scolded with a smile: "Notify a fart, notify that kid still has the truth in his mouth?" How hard have you been hiding from us all these years? I'm not afraid of your jokes, over the years, Zhao Ding, this kid, in addition to giving me a grievance, has also bribed the head of the household department in charge of Youzhou taxation, otherwise do you think I won't know the situation in Youzhou for so many years? ”

The more things he did to Zhao Ding, the more angry Zhao Chongyuan became.

Dog stuff.

Even he hid it!

Xu Tiande smacked his lips.

It is also thanks to Zhao Ding that he met Zhao Chongyuan, a father who is easy to talk to.

If it was the first emperor.

Ten heads are not enough to cut off.

Meanwhile.

Youzhou.

In the palace of King Yan.

Zhao walked towards the ground of the Yan Wang's Mansion.

As a feudal king, especially a feudal king like Youzhou, who is close to the enemy's border.

In addition to governing fiefdoms.

There are also many temptations to deal with enemy countries.

For example, not long ago, he took advantage of the night to attack his Youzhou.

Walking into the dungeon, a smell of acid and rot came to my face.

All kinds of ghosts cry and wolf howls constantly.

"Lord Wang."

Not long after Zhao Ding walked into the underground dungeon of the Yan Wang's Mansion, a man dressed as a jailer came over, carrying a blood-stained leather whip in his hand.

Behind him was a big man who was hanging on a shelf, covered in blood.

At this moment, I saw Zhao Ding coming over.

Dahan suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhao Ding, opened his mouth and spat on it.

Bah!

A mouthful of old phlegm mixed with blood spit towards Zhao Ding.

Zhao Ding shook his head slightly, and easily avoided it.

"Hey, you bastard, you're looking for death!"

Seeing this, the jailer also made a pick, and quickly picked up the whip and was about to hit the big man.

"I've been arrested, it's normal to have grievances."

Zhao Ding waved his hand and saw the jailer next to him bring a stool.

Zhao Ding sat up, picked up the cleaned fruit next to him, and Zhao Ding took a bite.

Raised his head and looked at the big man with a smile: "Say, where are you from, Nan Chen, or Bei Liang?" Say it to the prince and let me see and understand. ”

"Phew!"

The big man opened his mouth and tried to spit out, but before he could speak.

The jailer beside Zhao Ding punched him.

A few teeth mixed with blood fell out of the big man's mouth.

"Tough? I just like tough people. ”

Zhao Ding smiled, "Pull out his teeth for me one by one, and put some salt into it, remember to pour one into his mouth, so that it can be disinfected, understand?" ”

"Understood."

The jailer smirked, reached out and took out a red-hot vice from the stove next to him, and slowly walked towards the big man.

"Ahh

A terrible scream.

Ringing in this dungeon.

The jailer was ruthless and decisive.

The moment the red-hot vice poked into the big man's mouth, he broke off a tooth alive.

Let the big man scream miserably, he took out the salt brine that had been prepared on the side and forcibly poured it into the big man's mouth.

Suddenly, an even more terrifying pain rose in the big man's mouth.

Look at this scene.

Zhao Ding's eyes did not have the slightest wave.

This is a chaotic era of war between countries, not the peaceful era of the previous life.

Especially when he is still in a place like Youzhou, where there are three wars.

People are not ruthless, and they are not stable.

"Go on."

Seeing that the big man seemed to have just felt a little less pain, and his expression was a little calm, Zhao Ding continued to speak calmly.

"Yes!"

The jailer snapped and stepped forward.

directly broke open the big man's mouth that had been blistered, picked up another red-hot vice and poked it in, and once again pulled out one of the big man's teeth.

"Ahh

The terrible screams rang out again.

The underground dungeon, which was so frightened that the ghost cried and howled, suddenly fell silent.

One by one, they looked at Zhao Ding with frightened expressions.

looked at this man who was embraced by the people of the entire Youzhou outside, but in their eyes, he was like a devil.

"I.... Say..."

The intense pain had already made the big man lose his previous hardness, and he looked at Zhao Ding with a frightened expression.

"It's okay, go ahead."

Zhao Ding didn't even look at it, waved his hand, and motioned for the jailer to continue.

"Ahh

Another terrible scream rang out inside the dungeon.

Each time, he replaced a freshly burned vise, and then poured salt brine into the big man's mouth after picking his teeth.

The so-called salt brine is actually the marinade for pickles in the homes of the common people in Youzhou.

There's no other benefit to this thing.

The only good thing is that there is a lot of salt in it.

If the wound hits.

It tastes absolutely sour.

"I gave you a chance, but you don't cherish it yourself, there is no way, I can only let you know to cherish it."

Zhao Ding said with a smile.

But this smile fell on the eyes of the big man, but it was tantamount to the devil.

"I said... I said...."

The big man spoke with difficulty.

The salt in the salt brine in his mouth was mixed with the wound, and the pain made him tremble uncontrollably.

"Got it figured?"

Zhao Ding raised his head and glanced at the big man.

"I've thought about it, I've thought about it."

Dahan endured the severe pain and stammered at Zhao Ding.

Then without waiting for Zhao Ding, Dahan hurriedly replied: "Wen Liang, Nan Chen's Wen Liang?" ”

"Him?"

Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows.

Nan Chen is different from Da Qian.

Daqian is to defend the border with the vassal king, and Nanchen is to defend the border with the general.

Wen Liang is Nan Chen's guard.

When he Zhao Ding first came to Youzhou, Wen Liang was not Nan Chen's guard, and later after Nan Chen's guard was shot into a sieve by him, the guard was replaced by Wen Liang.

"Wen Liang, he wanted to get the production method of His Highness's Shenwu Cannon and His Highness's Lianzhu Crossbow, and he also knew that the villain was originally from Youzhou and later fled to Nan Chen's side, so he sent the villain back to Youzhou..."

Dahan endured the severe pain and said vaguely.

"You're from Youzhou?"

Zhao Ding frowned.

"Youzhou Qian family."

Dahan replied.

"The Qian family?"

Zhao Ding sneered, "I said where did you gang go, but I didn't expect to escape to Nan Chen." ”

Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Dahan suddenly stopped talking.

Their Youzhou Qian family was originally the largest gateway in Youzhou, sitting on tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, which can be called the existence of the emperor of Youzhou.

Even the local government in Youzhou can't do anything about them.

It has always been rumored in the mouths of the people of Youzhou: the iron-beaten Qian family, and the county guard of flowing water.

This money family is their money family.

But everything has changed since Zhao Dinglai.

All the things that their Qian family has done in Youzhou over the years have been turned over, and the evil slaves raised in the mansion died without even surviving a salvo in the hands of the defenders of Zhao Dingyan's palace.

The head of the family was even pulled by Zhao Ding to the front of King Yan's mansion.

In front of all the people in Youzhou, he was directly cut to set an example.

Without the Qian family and the help of those evil slaves, the descendants of the Qian family naturally did not dare to stay in Youzhou and ran to other places, and he fled to Nanchen.

looked at the big man in front of him.

Zhao Ding smiled.

But this smile made the big man feel a chill in his heart inexplicably.

Crying and begging for mercy: "Your Highness, I was wrong, you spare me once, I will never dare again." ”

"Spare you once, who will surround those people who have been tortured by your Qian family?"

Zhao Ding sneered, then clapped his hands, turned his head and walked outside, and instructed the jailer behind him: "According to the old rules, cut off your hands and feet, make a human being, and hang them at the head of the city." ”

"Your Highness...."

Listening to Zhao Gan's words, the big man shouted even more poignantly.

However, Zhao Qian walked outside without looking back.

Terrible screams rang out again in the dungeon.

Half an hour later.

The exit of the secret passage connecting the Yanwang Mansion and the outside of the city.

An object covered in blood that could not be seen in human form was slowly hung on the head of the city.

And with this blood-soaked figure, the figure that could no longer be seen hung at the head of the city.
