Wanhesan people actually have such courage, a huge Yongchang Society, said that it was dissolved, and it was merged into the Lishui faction as a whole, which shocked Gu Zuo.

But Yongchang will not only be his own sect, he also has an edict, what should Yongchang edict do?

The third lady replied: "The Yongchang edict is different from the inland prefectures and counties, the lord of the country is not appointed by the imperial court, Yongchang will be merged into the Lishui faction, and the Yongchang edict will naturally be merged into the Lishui edict." ”

"Can the court agree?"

"Whether the court agrees or not, it doesn't matter at all, maybe on the map of the political hall, on the books of the household department, the Yongchang Zhao still exists, but it is only a name, the court is willing to call it Yongchang Zhao, then let them call it so, but in fact, the Yongchang Zhao in the future should no longer be an edict, but a state and county equivalent to the Lishui Zhao. ”

Gu Zuo exclaimed: "Then congratulations to Lishui Zhao for opening up the territory!"

The third lady said: "I came here this time to talk to you about the southern part of Yongchang Zhao." ”

Gu Zuo thought for a while and said, "The cultivation affairs south of Tang Fengchuan belong to the Huai Immortal Pavilion, this is the agreement we have made, is there anything wrong with the three ladies?"

"Pavilion Master Gu, what is the situation of the Southern Sixth Edict, everyone knows very well, the cultivation affairs are actually the main affairs of the Southern Sixth Edict, and it is almost impossible to distinguish between the government and the cultivation world like the inland states and counties. In this land south of Tang Fengchuan, the so-called right to practice affairs belongs to Huaixian Pavilion, and the power of government affairs belongs to Lishui Zhao, which is actually very difficult to do. ”

"So what do you mean by the Yeosu faction?"

The third lady said: "We think that we may consider completely splitting the Yongchang Zhao, whether it is cultivation affairs or government affairs, the Lishui faction and the Huaixian Pavilion are in charge of each other." ”

Gu Zuo understood after thinking about it: "The Lishui faction can't afford the taxes of the Yongchang Edict? Didn't the Chongxuan Administration just let the sects replace the 50,000 spirit stones with cultivation materials?"

The third lady nodded: "But we still have to pay the remaining 50,000 spirit stones, now there are too many places that need spirit stones in all aspects, and the Yongchang Association has been merged, the gap in spirit stones is too big, and now there are very few spirit stones on the market, it took us three months to buy more than 10,000 spirit stones, but it cost 60,000." Yongchang Zhao has to pay 200,000 yuan to the imperial court a year, plus 300,000 yuan from Lishui Zhao, we really can't come up with so much money. ”

Gu Zuodao: "The taxes of the past three years have been reduced. ”

The third lady shook her head: "But it's the end of the year soon, and I'm going to start paying the autumn levy again - the spring levy hasn't been paid yet." ”

Gu Zuo thought silently for a while and said, "You make a price." ”

The third lady said: "The 60,000 spirit stones handed over by the Yongchang Zhao to the Chongxuan Department every year are still sent by Lishui, this is the agreement we reached, and it is also a thank you to the Huaixian Pavilion, and we will not repay the debt." However, the 200,000 yuan tax of the imperial court, I hope that the Huaixian Pavilion can bear half of it, so that half of the Yongchang edict from Zhenkangkou to the south of Tang Fengchuan will all be transferred to the Huaixian Pavilion in order to unify the power. ”

Gu Zuo shook his head: "No, this price is not fair." As we all know, the rich and prosperous areas of Yongchang Zhao are all north of this line, and the Wanhesan people even moved most of the population to the north, and no one pays me, how can I bear this 100,000 yuan?"

The third lady said: "But all the output in these two hundred miles of land is from the Huaixian Pavilion." ”

Gu Zuo said with a smile: "There is no one, everything is empty, I haven't even fully developed the resources of the Black Mountain Edict, where is there any spare energy to develop that wasteland, at least ten years will not move that place." 100,000 yuan a year, 1 million in 10 years, I can't fill this hole. ”

The third lady had been waiting for Gu Zuo to bargain for a long time: "Then how much are you going to give?"

Gu Zuo paced back and forth in the study, walked for a while, stopped and said: "Originally, I was too lazy to get a penny, but your third lady is benevolent and righteous, I sent people back to me as soon as I said hello, and I also want to thank the third lady for this." In this way, for the sake of the relationship between you and me, and for the sake of your face, I will give 20,000 yuan. ”

The third lady took a deep breath: "It's too little, it can't solve our problem." ”

Gu Zuo said: "20,000 yuan a year, 10 years is 200,000 yuan, I want to throw 200,000 yuan in nothing, do you still think the three ladies are less?"

The third lady plucked up her courage and said: "If it is the Qingcheng faction or the Luofu faction, they will definitely not be at this price, you and I are allies, so we came to you first." ”

Gu Zuo said: "The two of them won't want it, the cultivation affairs are in the hands of the Huaixian Pavilion, and you can't sell this half of Yongchang Zhao." ”

After a moment of silence, the third lady said, "Add a little more." ”

Gu Zuo began to pace again, thinking repeatedly.

The counteroffer of the three ladies is a strategy, and they all know that the Qingcheng faction and the Luofu faction will definitely not spend a huge amount of money to buy such a piece of land that has been taken away by the Huaixian Pavilion for cultivation, but when these two sects are mentioned, they are telling Gu Zuo that the Lishui faction and the Huaixian Pavilion are allies, and if the life of the Lishui faction cannot go on, the Huaixian Pavilion alone will not be able to fight against the Qingcheng faction and the Luofu faction.

It's not so much about selling land, it's better to let Gu Zuo choose, help, or not help?

The third lady brought back the people Gu Zuo asked for without saying a word, this is to fulfill the duty of the Lishui faction as an ally, and now it is time for Gu Zuo to fulfill the obligation of an ally of the Huaixian Pavilion.

Gu Zuo sighed, this favor really has to help. After thinking carefully for a long time, he finally said: "Forty thousand! It can't be more, and if it is more, the Huaixian Pavilion will not be able to hold it." ”

The Heishan edict is 300,000 guan per Chinese New Year's Eve, the Tonghai edict is 100,000 guan per year, the Southern Wu Prefecture is 10,000 guan per year, plus the Yongchang edict is 40,000 per year, and the two and a half edicts under the jurisdiction of Huaixian Pavilion plus Benzhou have to bear 450,000 guan per year.

This account is obvious, the third lady has long known it, Gu Zuo took a big step back, and she has completed the task of this trip, and she can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The fact that she is too tired to take care of the country, at this moment, the third lady misses the days when she only needed to cut and kill before.

The two sides reached an agreement, Sanniangzi wanted to rush back to Lishui, and when Gu Zuo sent her down the mountain, Sanniangzi said: "Our Lishui edict and Yongchang edict reported to Jiannan Province for three years of tax exemption, Jiedu Mansion has not yet approved, what about Nanwu Prefecture?"

Gu Zuo shook his head: "It's the same with Southern Wu Prefecture, the Black Mountain Edict and the Tonghai Edict, they haven't informed me of the relevant situation yet, after all, the two edicts are not under the care of the Huaixian Pavilion." ”

The third lady said: "Soon it will be the end of the year again, the Jiedu Mansion will not approve, I have not been able to settle down in my heart, what is the news, please inform us in time of the owner of the pavilion, and we will advance and retreat together." ”

After sending the third lady away, Gu Zuo called the original Taoist chief and Liu Xuanji, and Liu Xuanji called Jiang Xiaozhu again, and everyone went to the guest house together, preparing to negotiate with Tonghai Zhao, but they saw the scene of the six elders of the Tonghai Gang besieging the gang leader at the door.

"Helper, you can't do this! Quietly walk away for months, where do you leave the gang?"

"I said earlier, I won't be the helper, you better let me be an elder again, I don't know how to do it, and I don't like to do it. ”

"How can you do that? You are the face of our Tonghai Gang, and the Tonghai Gang will point to the gang leader to suppress the mountain gate, if you don't be the gang leader, who is qualified to do it?"

"It's good to let Ling Cheng be the helper......"

"Stop, don't talk nonsense, Zuo is loyal to the gang leader......"

People are dealing with housework, and it is not good to rush in, Gu Zuo coughed a few times at the door, and the dispute in the house stopped. So, everyone rushed in.
