"Excuse me. The multi-eyed monster tilted its head slightly and looked at the monkey. The gaze was flat, but there was a hint of vigilance.

"Prime Minister Xie!" the monkey slowly retracted his hand and straightened his waist.

"Sit down. The Sighted Man stretched out his hand to the side of his seat.

The monkey bowed again silently, walked over step by step, and sat down.

Soon, the two maids stepped forward to fill the monkey with a glass of wine and stepped aside.

The silent hall was full of armor at the door. The two people in the main hall, one staring at the rippling wine in the glass in front of him, and the other staring out the door casually, did not look at each other. The atmosphere, somewhat subtle.

After a while, the multi-eyed monster bowed his head slightly, took a sip of wine, and said leisurely: "I haven't been here for more than a year, have you?"

The monkey replied nonchalantly, "It's been almost two years." ”

"How are you doing?"

"Thanks to the Prime Minister, it's not bad. ”

Hearing this, Duomu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Something is wrong this time, I have to go to the palace to explain." It's a trivial matter that doesn't matter, but the Peng Demon King bites and doesn't let go, and he still has to go through the motions after all. ”

Yanxi said. ”

"The old man already knows the conditions you asked Yanxi to convey. ”

This time, the monkey did not respond immediately, but only quietly glanced at the multi-eyed monster.

After a moment of silence, the multi-eyed monster stroked his long beard, and then said: "The military expenses of the new army, to be honest, are not much. There is nothing less than the old man's personal control. Such a big demon country is not short of that bit of money. Also, you're in Centipede Ridge, doing a good job. It was the old man who was negligent. ”

"Huh?" the monkey glanced quietly towards the multi-eyed monster.

I saw the multi-eyed monster sitting cross-legged, frowning, and sighing lightly: "The old man already knows about the things over there." I didn't expect that the ore from the mine was not directly transported to the demon capital for sale, but through a middleman. This year, the old man was busy with government affairs, and he was so negligent that he didn't know anything. If it weren't for Yanxi's trip, the old man sent someone to investigate, I'm afraid it would still be unclear. It is indeed a good way to strengthen the new army by raising military funds on its own. In this way, you will not need Your Majesty's approval to raise a large number of troops. You're doing a good job. ”

After hesitating for a long time, the monkey could only reply: "Thank you...... The prime minister complimented. ”

"The previous thing is over, let him pass. The whole demon knows that the old man is dedicated to the public. At the beginning, the old man felt that you couldn't support the wall with mud, so it was naturally impossible to entrust you with a heavy responsibility. But now...... The old man thinks that you are a usable person. As he spoke, the multi-eyed monster quietly watched the monkey out of the corner of his eye.

The words are nice, however, the monkey sees more from the eyes of the multi-eyed monster, not admiration, but doubt.

Helpless, the monkey had to laugh dryly: "That...... How does the multi-eyed prime minister plan to reuse the last general?"

"How do you want the old man to reuse it?" asked the multi-eyed monster with a smile.

Hearing this, the monkey immediately took his gaze, lowered his head and took a sip of wine, and said, "Hope......? There is really no hope for the last general. If he could, he would think it would be good to stay in Huaguo Mountain. ”

"Really?"

"I really think so. ”

The multi-eyed monster suddenly laughed, and the monkey frowned with such laughter.

"What are you laughing at, Prime Minister?"

After a while, the multi-eyed monster slowed down a little and said, "Old man, you think it's too beautiful to laugh." ”

"How?"

"There is a territory of its own, the wind and rain are good, the products are abundant, there are no foreign enemies, there are no taxes, there is no military service, and there is a steady stream of new people. You say, "It's not about being beautiful, what is it?"

With that, the gaze slowly slanted towards the monkey.

The monkey's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at the multi-eyed monster, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, and said, "You can't say that." It's been two years, and the prime minister still agreed to it personally, so why did it work in the past and not in the future?"

"That was before. How did you get to the Prime Minister's Mansion before? A broken car, a few followers. How did you get here today? ”

"The last general doesn't understand. ”

"Don't understand, it's okay, you'll understand soon. Huaguo Mountain ...... It's your new name for Centipede Ridge, right? Not only is it as safe as the demon capital, but there are no taxes and no military service. Don't talk about you, even the old man wants to go. You say, in such a place, can there not be many monsters? Spread out, don't say that the demon kings are the elders in this demon capital, I am afraid that they will have opinions. ”

"Then how could it have been in the first place?"

"It was the beginning. At the beginning, the old man was just going to give you a place to be a rich idler. A small mine, a few points of tax, forgive them will not bother with the old man for this kind of thing. Demon kings, who has no exempt taxes in their name? Compared to them, you are just a child. Who would have thought you would play so big?"

"This time in the temple, the whole demon will notice you. Furthermore, the matter of Huaguoshan can no longer be hidden. ”

Hearing this, the monkey couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Prime Minister, you're not very authentic." ”

"How?"

"I said that I would come over and I would not have a loss. Not only do you have no loss, but you have to give me some benefits. As a result, things haven't started yet, and you want to dig a piece of meat out of me first?"

"If the old man doesn't dig, someone else will dig it. ”

The monkey spread his hands and said bluntly: "Anyway, I don't pay this tax, don't even think about it." ”

Immediately after, it was a rogue look.

"It's okay if you don't want to, but you have to listen to the old man. ”

"Tell me. The monkey reached out and picked up a dried fruit, threw it in his mouth and chewed it.

"Either pay taxes or do conscription. Since you don't want to pay taxes, then military service is naturally inevitable. The so-called military service will naturally not be just staying in Huaguo Mountain and wearing a suit of armor. You have to be on the front line, you have to have military merits. Otherwise, the old man is in the court, and it is not easy to explain. ”

"How can military merit be so easy to get? Didn't the prime minister let Yanxi run back and forth for more than a year? Not only did he not get back his military feats, but he also made a mess back. ”

"That's a small number of troops, and if the troops are strong, these are not a problem. The major demon kings, the military exploits reported every year, true or false, are they still few?"

"But Prime Minister, my troops are not strong. Although it is much stronger than the gang under the demon capital Yanxi, it is not enough to send it to the demon king. ”

"It's not strong, then expand. ”

"What about military spending?"

"Earn. Brushing his long beard, the multi-eyed monster said expressionlessly: "The old man can not only exempt you from paying taxes, but also give you more mines." However, it is not all given, it can only be regarded as hosting. There are a lot of ore veins that have already been discovered in the name of the silver company, but for various reasons, they have not been mined. Give you some, and it's no big deal. ”

In the end, the focus fell on the words "giving" and "hosting".

Hearing this, the monkey's eyes couldn't help but flicker.

"What do you think?" said the multi-eyed monster, slowly looking towards the monkey.

"Give", it is necessary to go back. "Escrow" is ready to let the monkey go.

In order to avoid paying taxes, the monkeys have to fight hard. In this way, it is necessary to raise more soldiers, otherwise where will the military merit come from?

However, unlike other demon kings, the troops under his name will become a complete "private army", an army that the demons do not allocate military funds to support. Military spending has to be raised by itself, and it has to rely on the veins "managed" by the multi-eyed monsters. In this way, isn't the silver root completely in the hands of the multi-eyed monster?

This means that the monkey will have to be tied up with the Mahogany with the Mahogany at the head of the horse.

Once the Monster has smoked the Silver, the monkey has only two options, either to rebel or to disband the troops.

However, if this suggestion is not agreed, then the monkey must immediately spit out another piece of meat that has already been eaten in its mouth.

This......

Thinking about it, the monkey's eyes widened, and after a while, he could only say leisurely: "The prime minister has a good plan...... It's such a big circle, it's a pit. ”

"It's a pit, it's up to you to jump or not. How's it going, the conditions are very good, would you like to?" asked the multi-eyed monster, looking at the monkey quietly.

For a while, the hall seemed to have changed its taste.
