Zhao Changqing traveled to the end of the Huai River before coming to Yunshan, and this Yunshan is in the territory of Changzhou Mansion.

According to the memories of nearby residents, later historians recorded that on the top of Yunshan, a sudden fire burned for seven days, and all the grass, trees, bamboos, stones, mountains, forests and beasts on the mountain were turned into scorched earth.

Changzhou City is not far from Yangzhou City, Huainan Province.

And Yangzhou City is Li Ziyuan's hometown, so Xiao Yuming wants to pay tribute to the old man who has been committed to turning over the cold door all his life, and plans to resign to Zhao Changqing for a few days.

After Zhao Changqing found out, he did not immediately agree to the matter, but waited for the affairs in the south to be completed, and then gave Xiao Yuming a few days off and let him go to Yangzhou.

Since you have come to Jiangnan Road, the world-famous Suzhou City is a must-see.

Isn't there a saying that there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below?

Zhao Changqing also didn't know if the Suzhou City here would be more amazing than the Suzhou City in the previous world.

I heard that one of the top families of the Wei Kingdom, the Wang family is in Suzhou.

Zhao Changqing has no grudge against the Wang family, but he also wants to blackmail the Wang family.

After the army entered the city, Zhao Changqing came to Taihu Lake for the first time.

The entire West Lake was instantly surrounded by soldiers.

In and beside Taihu Lake, there are flower boats and brothels, which is a major feature of Suzhou.

The brothels here are all allowed to be opened by the government.

Suzhou's culture is very prosperous.

After hearing that the emperor had come to Taihu Lake, the scholars in Suzhou City wanted to admire the demeanor of this Ming monarch, but they were blocked by the soldiers who surrounded Taihu Lake.

However, some people received the news early and waited patiently for the arrival of the emperor in the brothel of the Qinglou.

Now looking at it from a distance, I see its upright posture, and I feel that Sansheng is lucky.

Today's brothel in the Qinglou is really strange, there is a group of dignitaries and scholars, but they are not here to look for flowers and ask willows, not only that, in addition to prostitutes, there is also a group of ladies in the Qinglou, all thinking about wanting to see the holy face, in case they are lucky enough to be favored by the emperor?

But it's on the rise!

However, there are several talented women who disdain this, they didn't want to come, they were forced by their families to come.

However, when they heard more and more people around them talk about His Majesty's exploits and the only poem he had ever written, they became more and more curious about His Majesty the Emperor.

I was even impressed by some of the things he did.

His Majesty the Emperor, who stood beside Taihu Lake and looked at the scenery from afar, actually did so many things for the Wei State and the people of the world, and he really deserved to be a generation of Ming Jun.

I was fortunate in this life and grew up under the rule of Ming Jun.

Zhao Changqing didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him in the entire Taihu Lake now, when he came here, he wanted to see the scenery everywhere, so he didn't let his corporal clear the field.

But... The scenery of Taihu Lake seems to be not much different from the previous life!

It's just a little bigger and broader than in the previous life.

Suzhou Taishou wanted to ask to see Zhao Changqing, but was driven out by Zhao Yun.

His Majesty didn't say who to summon, and no one could get close to His Majesty.

Zhao Changqing summoned Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, let the soldiers rest on the spot, it is said that the night view of Taihu Lake is good, and the prostitutes in the city will show their talents at night, so that the soldiers can feast their eyes." ”

Zhao Yun 'promised'.

Then Zhao Changqing said: "Call the patriarch of the Wang family here, I have something to ask him." ”

Zhao Yun hugged his fists and said, "The last general will personally send someone to call." ”

Zhao Changqing nodded.

After about half a pillar of incense, Wang Ye, the patriarch of the Wang family, came, and he was the only one who came.

After being led by someone, he came behind Zhao Changqing and groveled.

Zhao Yun whispered behind Zhao Changqing, "Your Majesty, the patriarch of the Wang family is here. ”

After Zhao Changqing heard it, he just nodded, and there was no response.

He was now concentrating on fishing on the futon by the steps.

Wang Ye knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Grass people Wang Ye knocks to see Your Majesty." ”

In this way, Zhao Changqing still didn't speak, still concentrating on fishing.

After about half a pillar of incense, Zhao Changqing saw the fishing line move, and immediately pulled up the bamboo pole, but found that the bait had been eaten by the fish, but the fish was gone.

It's hateful to have waited so long and not caught a fish.

He threw the fishing rod aside indignantly, stretched his waist, and said to the patriarch of the Wang family behind him: "You see, I have found the fattest bait for the fish in this lake, why don't they take the bait? ”

Really, Zhao Changqing really didn't mean anything else when he said this.

However, saying such things at this point in time can not make others think wildly?

Wang Ye was shocked when he heard this, and after a while, his head was covered with sweat, he swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling heart: "Your Majesty, maybe it's a fish in this lake, but you don't know Mount Tai with eyes?"

This sentence can barely be regarded as a sycophant.

Zhao Changqing felt good after hearing this, smiled, and said to him, "What's your name?"

Wang Ye wiped the beads of sweat on his face and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the grass people are called Wang Ye." ”

"Wang Ye?" Zhao Changqing recited the name and said with a smile: "Why, as the head of the family, you can't satisfy you?"

No matter how you listen to this, it is full of murderous aura.

But Zhao Changqing was really joking.

Wang Ye's sweat was almost soaking through his clothes, and he kept kowtowing and said: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins!" The name of the grass people was given by the deceased father, and it has nothing to do with the grass people! The grass people dare not have any intention of being called king! After the grass people go back, they will immediately change their names!"

Zhao Changqing said flatly: "There is no need to change the name, let's talk about it, what else does your Wang family do in addition to providing scholars for the imperial court?"

Activities?

That doesn't sound like a friendly word!

Wang Ye said cautiously: "Your Majesty, at present, our Wang family is doing more silk business, and more than thirty percent of the silk and satin in the entire Wei Kingdom are all from the hands of my Wang family.

However, if Your Majesty investigates my Wang family's business, it has nothing to do with the grass people! Don't look at the grass people as the head of the family on the surface, but in fact, in the family, they have already been stripped of their rights by several elders.

The patriarch of the grass people is not worthy of his name!"

This aroused Zhao Changqing's interest, and he said: "So, you can't be the master of the Wang family's affairs at all?"

Wang Ye nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty! The grass people have really suffered a lot of cynicism in the family..."

As he spoke, tears were squeezed out.

This acting is really speechless.

Zhao Changqing turned his back to him, but he didn't see his tears, "Do you know how much greedy silver was scavenged after I wiped out the Jiang family?"

Wang Ye asked, "I hope that Your Majesty will give me advice." ”

Zhao Changqing said: "I have scavenged out 60 million taels of silver, 60 million taels, it is said that this is only a part of the Jiang family's wealth." ”

Wang Ye was surprised: "So much?"

Sixty million taels is only a part, can it not be much?

Zhao Changqing got up, looked at Wang Ye, and said, "How many silver taels does your Wang family have now?"

Wang Ye thought about it, but decided to tell the truth, because he felt that nothing could hide from the Ming Jun in front of him, "Back to Your Majesty, according to the grass people, my Wang family only has about 100 million taels of silver. ”

, 100 million taels of silver?

Why is there only ......?

But it's still cash?!

Damn, you're so rich!

Zhao Changqing pretended to be furious and said: "What a royal family! The money and wealth accumulated have exceeded the national treasury! How many people's fat and ointment have you looted?"

With 100 million taels of silver in the treasury, what do you want the Wang family to do? Could it be that you want to rebel?!"
