Chapter 345: Zhao Valve is also poor
Lei Tianxiao said depressedly: "You are the same as my younger brother, you like to cause trouble all the time, this time it is the most excessive, even a Zen master Xingxing dares to kill." Tell me what the hell is going on, I feel that this matter is strange, and it is impossible for you to kill Master Nhat Hanh with the skills of the two of you. Even if he fights you with his hands behind his back, you are no opponent. But the disciples of Nhat Hanh Zen Master will never lie and tell me what happened. Did you two kill Master Nhat Hanh?"
Zhao Kuangyin sat cross-legged on the ground, and then sealed with both hands and carried the Nine Seals Yi Pulse Method to restore his true qi as much as possible.
"Brother Lei, this matter is true, it is indeed me and Meiyu who killed Zen Master Xingxing. However, there are some reasons for this, as if Master Nhat Hanh deliberately wanted to die at the hands of the two of us, he forced me to make a move, and he had no intention of fighting back. ”
Zhao Kuangyin immediately told Lei Tianxiao what happened to him, and after listening to what happened, Lei Tianxiao also felt that Zhao Kuangyin was not lying, his description was very similar to the description of Zen Master Yixing, and the two sets of confessions could match, so Zhao Kuangyin was the real murderer. But what happened is confusing, why did Zen Master Yixing deliberately die in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, he did this as if he wanted to kill him.
But this also makes no sense, if Zen Master Yixing wants Zhao Kuangyin to die, he will not live to be dark at all. He deliberately let himself die in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin just to frame him? This doesn't make sense at all.
As the head catcher, Lei Tianxiao heard the off-strings of this matter. There must be some reason for Zen Master Nhat Hanh to have to die at the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, otherwise he would never do this.
"Zhao Kuangyin, how much hatred do you have? Does Zen Master Yixing want you to become the public enemy of martial arts so much?" Lei Tianxiao said: "As far as I know, Zen Master Yixing will never do this kind of thing for no reason, unless you will be a big villain in the future." Nhat Hanh won't kill you because of something that hasn't happened yet, but he won't wait until after it has happened to come to you for revenge, so that's the only way he can make you suffer, but I can't think of what you're going to do?"
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Things have to start with Zongxin's shameless monk. Legend has it that he was the reincarnation of an evil dragon, and as soon as he left the temple, the Buddha would be destroyed because of him. I believe that Brother Lei must have heard of this matter, after all, you are the number one god in the world, and this kind of news will not be unfamiliar. Zongxin's shameless monk has set up a situation on me, maybe this incident will become the fuse for the destruction of Buddhism. If I had died here, the destruction of the Buddhist family might not have happened, so Master Nhat Hanh would make this decision and exchange his life for a chance to break the game. ”
Lei Tianxiao and He Meiyu nodded at the same time, and they only now understood why Zen Master Yixing deliberately died in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin and He Meiyu. But what kind of situation did Zong Xin set up on Zhao Kuangyin? You have to use the life of a Zen master to crack it.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Actually, I don't really understand, originally Zongxin and I planned to go to the Khitan, because the Khitan civil strife killed and injured countless people, so Zongxin's shameless monk was ready to go to the Khitan to quell the civil strife and let the Khitan be unified again." I can't really guess what he's thinking, a normal person would never do this. On the way, I rescued a woman in distress, Zongxin's shameless monk asked me to escort this woman home, I think all this is in Zongxin's plan, he must have calculated that Zen Master Nhat Hanh will make this move, the next time I see him, I must beat him to vent my anger, and I have made so many sins. ”
"Can you beat him?"
"Hmph~ If I could beat Zongxin, he wouldn't be alive now. Zhao Kuangyin was about to be mad by Zong Xin, he must have expected these things, so he let himself go back to the Central Plains and not go to Khitan. This shameless monk always leaves the most troublesome and dangerous things to himself, although he is hard-hitting, but he also has feelings, and it hurts his feelings too much.
Lei Tianxiao said depressedly: "Actually...... I also felt that something was wrong, so I found it all the way here, and now that I know the truth of the matter, it is time for me to go. Zhao Kuangyin, let me remind you, if you don't have absolute confidence, it's best not to use Zhao Jiuzhong's identity to use the pole hand, if you are Zhao Kuangyin, there is no problem. As long as there is one person who knows that Zhao Jiuzhong will make the Pole Turning Hand, the entire Thunder King's Mansion will hunt you down. Don't look at you as Zhao Valve's second son, now Zhao Valve needs to see my father's face to eat. ”
"Don't come with me to this set, my Zhao Lord is rich and rivals the country, raising 100,000 soldiers, not to mention that my grandfather's martial arts may not lose to Lei Hong, I need to see his face to eat? Isn't it the income of Yicheng Yandao? Although my grandfather is greedy for money, he will never look at other people's faces for money. Zhao Valve's family rules are strict, we can rob it, but we will never steal it. Zhao Kuangyin said very confidently, because although Zhao Valve would not fight Lei Hong head-on, Lei Hong would never dare to attack Zhao Valve, otherwise it would only be a lose-lose situation. Why did the eldest young master of the Lei Wangfu point fingers at him, isn't his martial arts higher than himself?
"Don't you know yet? Four of Zhao Valve's six gold mines are empty, and it is already very difficult for the two gold mines to support Zhao Valve's daily expenses, so your grandfather Zhao Jing will shamelessly take away your income in Yandao Yicheng, and this is just barely allowing Zhao Valve's operation. Fortunately, you don't have to give Song Valve any more money and food, otherwise Zhao Valve will be dragged down, a valve shouldn't raise so many soldiers and horses at all, your grandfather wants to be the emperor too much, that's why he made this kind of mistake. If you can raise a few fewer troops, you will have enough gold to live for hundreds of lifetimes. ”
Lei Tianxiao's words made Zhao Kuangyin unbelievable, Zhao Valve is also poor? Zhao Valve's gold mine has been dug up? How is this possible?
Zhao Kuangyin immediately shook his head and said, "Brother Lei, is this matter serious?"
"It's true, don't you still believe in the news network of the world's number one divine capture? Now Zhao Valve has already reduced his troops, from 100,000 horses to 80,000 now. If you don't have your 10% of the Yandao income, I'm afraid that your grandfather will continue to reduce his troops, and even so, for one valve, your troops are too much. Soldiers need a lot of money to eat, sleep, weapons and armor, not only to raise these soldiers, but also a large amount of expenditure, not to mention that your family's gold mine has been dug for decades, and now it is a matter of course that the ore veins are depleted. ”
Zhao Kuangyin already knew that Song Valve was poor, and now he finally knew that the real reason why Song Valve was poor was because Zhao Valve, the biggest God of Wealth of Song Valve, was also poor. The depletion of the gold mine was an unbearable loss for Zhao Valve. Zhao has always claimed to be rich and rivaled, but this is not the case.
Zhao Valve actually didn't need to raise so many soldiers, the military salary and daily expenses of 100,000 soldiers and horses were originally an astronomical amount, and the money spent could not be calculated at all. What's more, there are weapons and armor, daily expenses, grain, grass and horses are all money.
Zhao has always kept his soldiers in a state of being ready to fight at any time, in fact, in order to rebel and ascend the throne at any time. But because he attached too much importance to these troops, Zhao Jing missed the opportunity several times, and there were criticisms from late Taoists, Zhao Jing has been waiting for Zongxin to debut.
As a result, after Zong Xin's debut, he said that the next emperor would be someone with the surname Guo, not their surname Zhao. This made Zhao Jing's waiting and years of hard work come to naught, and he had to continue to wait. It's just that the waiting time has been too long, and these 100,000 troops have sucked Zhao Valve dry, and Zhao Valve has been struggling to support and dig gold mines frantically.
Now that the gold mine has been depleted, Zhao Jing has no choice. Although they got Zhao Kuangyin and Zong Xin's business in Weinan, these businesses could only barely feed 10,000 horses, the two gold mines were enough to feed 50,000 horses, and the business in Luoyang was enough for them to feed 20,000 horses, and these three businesses were all of Zhao Jing's income, so now Zhao Jing's money was only enough to feed 80,000 horses.
Zhao Valve can't make ends meet and has begun to become poor. Therefore, Zhao Jing forcibly took one percent of the income that Zhao Kuangyin deposited with Lei Hong, so as to at least ensure that Zhao Jing's treasury would not give money out, but continued to earn.
But because of this, Zhao Jing decided not to give any support to Song Valve. Although this would offend Song Yan, Zhao Jing was also helpless, because Zhao Valve's gold mines were exhausted everywhere, and he had to save expenses. What's more, now that the Khitan is in civil strife, the Song Valve no longer has to send troops to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
If there was no one percent of Zhao Kuangyin's income in Yandao, Zhao Jing would have to cut another 20,000 troops. Zhao Kuangyin did help a lot, but no one in the entire Zhao valve was grateful to him, because they all thought that it was snatched by the valve owner Zhao Jing from Lei Hong, and Zhao Kuangyin was just an excuse. The really powerful people are Zong Xin, who conjured salt out of the sea, and Zhao Jing, who robbed Lei Hong.
Zhao Kuangyin laughed softly: "Great, it's really good." I must snatch back that one percent of the income, so that I can continue to weaken Zhao Valve's strength. If Zhao only has 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, I may not be able to compete with him. ”
Zhao Kuangyin saw the hope of raising his eyebrows, as long as Zhao Valve's economic situation continued, and he recaptured the 10% of the profits from Yandao, Zhao Valu must continue to reduce his troops. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin could use Song Qianqian's strategy to pretend to be robbed by Guo Wei, and forced Zhao Valve to give up the profits.
Although this gain is not enough to compete with the still powerful Zhao Valve, at least he can keep himself from bowing his head in front of everyone in Zhao Valve, including grandfather Zhao Jing and eldest brother Zhao Kuangji.
"Are you so happy that your family has declined?" Lei Tianxiao said in surprise: "I don't know what you're thinking, anyway, you must not use the Extreme Transformation Hand as Zhao Jiuzhong, otherwise I will be the first to abolish your martial arts." Although my shameless brother has a good relationship with you, as long as I don't kill you, my shameless brother should have nothing to say. ”
"Brother Lei, don't worry, I promise that I won't let anyone know that Zhao Jiuzhong will use the Pole Transformation Technique. Unless I have absolute confidence to win, I would rather announce my identity as Zhao Kuangyin, and then use the pole hand, and I will never let people mistakenly think that I am Lei Tianyong. ”
"It's good to understand. ”
