Chapter 233: The Cities of Qingyang

After temporarily settling Leng Wuru and Li Chen, Bai Jiu immediately turned his gaze to Tang Jing and said softly: "Although this seat is also a person from this Qingyang Mansion, but I don't know much about this Qingyang Mansion, you can explain it briefly to this seat now."

For Bai Jiu's request, Tang Jing naturally would not refuse, and immediately looked at Bai Jiu with a solemn expression and said, "The subordinates receive the order." ”

In response to Bai Jiu's voice, then Tang Jing said in a deep voice: "Qingyang Mansion is among the twelve prefectures in southern Xinjiang, both in size and population, so it has always been quite poor, and the entire Qingyang Mansion has a total city, except for this Qingyang City, the remaining five cities are, Heshui City, Jingyuan City, West Wind City, Ningcheng, and Anding City. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Jing paused for a moment and then continued: "Although these cities are nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, in fact, like other places, the official government is just an empty shelf, and what really counts is the power of the rivers and lakes in these cities, such as the Weiyuan Dart Bureau in Heshui City, and so on. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Jing secretly glanced at Bai Jiu, who was sitting on the chair and bowed his head in contemplation, and said secretly in his heart: "Among these forces, naturally they also include the Holy Fire Sect that dominates West Wind City. ”

However, not to mention that the Holy Fire Sect is about to dominate the entire Qingyang Mansion, even he, the lord of the Mansion, has also been thrown under Bai Jiu's command, so Tang Jing naturally will not have a twitch in his head and mention this matter.

In fact, everyone present, after listening to Tang Jing's words, immediately thought of their own Holy Fire Sect, after all, none of the people present were stupid.

After a slight pause and looking at Bai Jiu, seeing that Bai Jiu was not unusual, Tang Jing immediately relieved his heart, and then continued: " Yes, this time the sect leader was on the bank of the Qingshui River, and he killed in one fell swoop, no less than 20 first-class masters, so that the major rivers and lakes of Qingyang Mansion suffered heavy losses, and laid the foundation for the sect leader to unify this Qingyang Mansion. ”

Tang Jing's last few words were obviously suspicious of patting Bai Jiu's ass, but not to mention others, Bai Jiu also agreed with it in his heart.

The major forces in Qingyang Mansion were killed by themselves, and the rest were just some small fish and shrimp, so Bai Jiu never thought that these forces would cause him any trouble.

Seeing that Tang Jing finished speaking, Bai Jiu was the first time, and he really had a thorough understanding of Qingyang Mansion, although he had not been there, but he also had a rough understanding.

After pondering for a moment, Bai Jiu then looked up at Tang Jingdao with a calm expression: "I forgot to ask you, the county orders of the cities in Qingyang Mansion are responsible for collecting monthly taxes and then handing them over to you, so where did you transport this money to?" Is it Zhennan Hou Mansion?"

Now that he has become a member of the Holy Fire Sect, in the face of Bai Jiu's inquiry, Tang Jing naturally knows everything, and immediately looks straight, and arches his hand at Bai Jiu and says: "Sect Master, the sect leader guessed well, most of the taxes collected before will indeed be handed over to the Zhennan Hou Mansion, after all, the Zhennan Hou is the nominal master of this southern Xinjiang." ”

"Mostly?"

Bai Jiu, who had been staring at Tang Jing, naturally heard the meaning of Tang Jing's words, and immediately said softly with a somewhat dumb expression.

When Tang Jing heard this, he looked at Bai Jiudao with a solemn expression: "Yes, most of them have been handed over to the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and the remaining small part is about thirty percent, one percent is enriched by the Qingyang Mansion treasury, and the other percent is taken by the Wuji Palace." ”

Listening to Tang Jing's words, Bai Jiu frowned slightly and said, "What? Wuji Palace actually occupies two percent?"

Seeing Bai Jiu and the others looking at him in some surprise, Tang Jing said with a somewhat embarrassed face: "In order to prevent Wuji Palace from interfering in the affairs of this Qingyang Mansion, it is not too much for his subordinates to give him 20%. ”

After listening to Tang Jing's words, Bai Jiu knew that the officials of the southern Xinjiang provinces actually needed to secretly pay protection money to the strongest local Jianghu forces, thinking of this, Bai Jiu sighed silently in his heart, and secretly said that being an official in this southern Xinjiang is really not ordinary.

Thinking of this, Bai Jiu immediately looked up at Tang Jingdao with an indifferent expression: "What happened before, it has nothing to do with this seat, and this seat will not be investigated, but from now on, all the monthly taxes of Qingyang Mansion, after you have collected all of them, will all give this seat a copy and send them here without moving, and hand them over to Du Zuo's envoy, can you hear clearly?"

In fact, before these, Tang Jing couldn't touch a point at all, although he said that he would leave one percent every month, with his own prefect, a slight deduction would not hurt at all, but how to maintain the entire Qingyang Mansion as a whole is only one percent of the tax, so in fact, Tang Jing, the prefect, is really pitiful, not only has no power, but also has no money, and often carefully deals with major forces, lest he anger the other party and lose his life.

So in the face of Bai Jiu's request, Tang Jing naturally would not refuse, but seventy percent of the monthly tax should be handed over to the Zhennan Hou Mansion, and Bai Jiu is doing this now, wouldn't he offend the Zhennan Hou Mansion? .

Thinking of this, Tang Jing immediately said with a hesitant expression: "The sect leader's orders, the subordinates naturally dare not disobey, but these taxes must be handed over to the Zhennanhou Mansion seventy percent every month, and the sect leader is only afraid that the Zhennanhou Mansion will be investigated if he does this." ”

Regarding Tang Jing's worries, Bai Jiu had his own plans, so he immediately said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to do what this seat tells you to do, and everything is arranged by your own seat." ”

Since he had the promise of his own sect leader, although Tang Jing was still a little uneasy, he didn't dare to say anything, and immediately said softly: "My subordinates take orders." ”

After arranging these things properly, Bai Jiu immediately said to the three of them: "Okay, you can step down, and do a good job of the things arranged by this seat, this seat will naturally not treat you badly, and if there are other things, this seat will send someone to inform you." ”

After Bai Jiu finished speaking, he immediately glanced at Tang Jing on the side, and then said to Du: "Arrange for a few elites in the sect to follow Tang Jing, and there will be an accident in the province." ”

When Du Wenyan heard this, he immediately glanced at Tang Jing, and then replied with a solemn expression: "Sect Master, rest assured, his subordinates will arrange it." ”

Nodding at Du, then Bai Jiu leaned back on the chair and waved at the three of them, and when the three of Du saw this, they immediately bowed silently to their own sect leader, and then turned around and retreated. (To be continued.) )
