The daily life of Dali Siqing

Although he was very helpless, Shi Dan, the head of Prince Zhao's residence, still said, "In fact, we were also harmed by innocent people. In fact, the imperial household department carried out tax reforms on some commodities."

"Tax Reform?!"

Chang Shi handed another stack of papers to King Zhao, "My lord, please take a look!"

When Zhao Wang opened the paper, he saw the large characters titled "Notice of the Ministry of Households on the Adjustment of Tax Rates for Various Luxuries - Attaching a List of Specific Products" with the title written in Chinese ink.

King Zhao couldn't help asking after reading the title, "Yang Qingyuan has returned to the court center!?"

This title is so full of Yang Qingyuan's distinctive personal style that most people can't write it.

Ge Changshi understood the reason why King Zhao asked this question very well. When he first saw it, he also thought so, "Reporting to the prince, Yang Qingyuan has not returned, but has been staying in the Jiangnan area. This is an announcement issued by the court cabinet. The decree..."

The cabinet headed by Wang Hua has already begun to reform the Great Zhou. The first thing to be reformed is the official documents of the imperial court. The titles in Yang Qingyuan's style, although a bit long and convoluted, can clearly show the central idea of ​​the decree.

This tax reform is also an important part of the Great Zhou reform system. According to the current financial pressure and consumption of the Great Zhou, it is impossible to support the entire empire's finances and taxes with agricultural taxes alone.

So the cabinet chose someone to make a fuss about business and taxation.

But once the commercial tax is raised excessively, the status of the merchants will be greatly improved from the side, which is inconsistent with the ancestral system, so the cabinet chooses to start with luxury goods.

"Ge Changshi, could this be a sign that the imperial court is doing something to us?!" Zhao Wang felt that there was no such coincidence in the world, how could it happen that his money bag was touched.

Ge Changshi shook his head and denied, "My lord, I don't think the cabinet is here for us. I read the product list at the back, and it mainly includes imported products from the sea such as benzoin, ivory, rhino horn, tortoiseshell, and coral. The fur goods, mink fur, ginseng, and horses only accounted for a small part of it. The imperial court cabinet should be trying to rectify the sea trade merchants along the southeast coast.”

Zhao Wang followed Ge Changshi's words, read the directory in his hand, and nodded in agreement with Ge Changshi's statement.

Ninety percent of this list is for taxes on maritime trade along the southeast coast.The business of their Prince Zhao's Mansion only takes up a very small part.

"This part of the gap comes from the treasury of the palace."

"Yes!"

"Does this policy of the imperial court have a great influence on us?!"

Friends who have rebelled know that the most important thing in rebellion is money and food. Without money and food, no one will work for you.

King Zhao's Mansion was able to support the army under his command, and this monopoly accounted for [-]% of the success.

"The impact is not small. Once the court's tax is collected, the income will be reduced by [-]%!"

Originally, the financial situation of King Zhao's Mansion was relatively normal, and there was a surplus every year.

But two percent and one less, then there is a huge gap.

"Can it be solved?!" Zhao Wang himself has no idea about economics.

"Do your best in a humble job!" Ge Changshi didn't take it all in, and the [-]% gap was a big problem for anyone.

A smile appeared on Zhu Kai's face, and he patted Ge Changshi.

Ge Changshi is an indispensable figure in the financial and tax management of Zhao Wangfu, just like Xiao He is to Han Gaodi and Fang Du is to Tang Wenhuang.

With him in charge of Zhao Wangfu's finances, Zhu Kai felt at ease.

Not long after Ge Changshi left, Du Yan, an old monk in black, appeared in front of King Zhao.

"My lord, there are seven masters outside the palace, and the leader wants to see you!"

Du Yan's words made King Zhao's expression serious.

The old monk Du Yan is an eminent monk of Shaolin's Du generation, and he is here to support him on behalf of Shaolin. Du Yan is not his subordinate, but more like a partner.

The person who can make Du Yan a master is definitely at the Dongxuan Realm and above.

"Is this person malicious?!"

Although Zhao Wang is surrounded by master guards, but facing seven masters at the same time, even Zhao Wang is under psychological pressure.

"Whether there is malice or not is unknown, but this person said that he came to give the prince a white hat." At this point, both Du Yan and Zhao Wang showed strange expressions on their faces.

Someone has already used this routine, and the person who used it is Monk Duyan.

The king of Zhao is the king, and the king adds white, isn't it just a word for emperor? !
"Then let's see you! Let the leader come in! The remaining six people take them to the living room to rest, and send experts to keep an eye on them. If the person who comes is unkind, he will be killed!"

"Yes!"

A moment later, under the leadership of Du Yan, a man in a black robe and a mask came to King Zhao's garden.

"I heard from Master Du Yan that the master wants to give me a gift!" King Zhao poured the boiled tea into the teacup while speaking, even though he threw it at the visitor.

Zhao Wang is a veteran in the battlefield, and his martial arts are good. Although he can't compare with the top masters in the world, he still has the state of metamorphosis.

I saw the flying tea, just as it was about to splash onto the black-robed man, suddenly stagnated in mid-air, and then seemed to be wrapped by an invisible force, and the spilled tea returned to the teacup without leaking , The teacup also fell into the hand of the visitor.

"The fragrance of tea is overflowing, it is really good tea!"

The man in black didn't mean to take offense either, it was only reasonable to meet and interview him.

"I've heard for a long time that His Royal Highness Zhao has a lot of talents, and it's really extraordinary. Although this master Duyan is not good at martial arts, he is resourceful and resourceful, and there are two masters in this small garden. It's really amazing. Let's look at each other with admiration!"

When the man in black opened his mouth, he pointed out the master Zhao Wang was hiding in the dark.

This action made Zhao Wang's evaluation of him even higher, "This man's martial arts are really extraordinary!"

Then the black-robed man said something extremely arrogant, "Actually, the prince doesn't have to be like this. With my martial arts, if I really want to harm the prince, the two of Shaolin Lecture Hall can't stop me."

The two old monks hiding in the dark are the masters of the Shaolin lecture hall, and one of them is the white-clothed monk Duhui who secretly went to Wudang on the day of Zhang Sanfeng's birthday banquet.

Although these two old monks were senior Buddhist monks, they still couldn't help itching their hands when they heard the arrogant words of the man in black, and wanted to hit him.

King Zhao didn't respond to the black-robed man's words. Instead, he changed the topic, "Did you bring the gift you said you would give to me just now?!"

The man in black put the teacup on the stone table and sat directly opposite King Zhao.

"This gift is too great, stay in the capital of the gods, and wait for the prince to pick it up!"

There was a smile in Zhao Wang's eyes, "Then don't be meandering, let's get back to business!"

"Okay, the prince is indeed a straightforward person, and I'm also a straightforward person!! Let's open the skylight and speak honestly!"

"Then how will the honor give me this white hat?!" King Zhao's address changed from a foot to an honor.

"My lord has a strong army and a strong horse, and he is dominant in Yanzhao. He already has the capital to fight for the world, but he has been waiting for an opportunity, and this is what I'm giving the lord this opportunity."

"Oh?! Please tell me more about it!" King Zhao stretched out his right hand, inviting the man in black to speak.

"Today's son, young and ignorant, is just a decoration. The power lies in the cabinet, the Six Armies Governor's Mansion, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. When it comes to sage methods, the emperor is not as good as the prince! The reason why the prince has been standing still is nothing but two things to worry about! "

The man in black stared at King Zhao's expression and saw the almost imperceptible surprise on his face, so he knew he was right.

"First, Li Cheng'en, the commander-in-chief of the Tiance Army. This man has been in charge of the Tiance Army for many years, and he has been invincible in all battles. The Tiance Army under his command is the most powerful army in the world. He attacked Daqian in the north, and made gold in Dongping. They all have the shadow of Tiance Army's subordinates. He is the first mountain that blocks the prince's way to Beijing, if this mountain is not removed, the prince will have no way to leave the land of Yanzhao and go west!"

King Zhao didn't answer, but just nodded to signal the man in black to continue.

"Secondly, it is the prince Taifu, Yang Qingyuan, Marquis of Wuxiang! If there are traces of Li Chengen's use of troops, then this person's use of troops is unconstrained. After the reform of the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this person has collected all the enthusiasm of the army. No.1 in the Zhou army, if this person exists, the prince may not be able to defeat him!"

Hearing the black-robed man's words, Zhao Wang was not angry, but agreed, "Soldiers are deceitful! All kinds of changes are impossible to guard against! Fighting against Yang Hou, I think I only have a [-]% chance of winning."

"If these two people are not eliminated, there will be no way for the prince's great cause to be accomplished!"

King Zhao lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then said, "Could it be that your honor has the art of moving mountains and filling seas?!"

"Exactly!"

……
-
Southern Border, the main altar of the Blood River Sect.

Liao Jin found the stone tablet representing the golden line. With previous experience, he was more careful this time, and sure enough, he found a golden scorpion in the stone tablet.

A scorpion in armor, the five elements belong to gold!
After finishing off the scorpion, he punched hard and knocked down the stone tablet.

Then, according to what Zhang Xuanqing said, he knocked down the stone tablet in the order of gold, wood, water, and fire.

Just when he was completely destroying the foundation of the formation, Zhang Xuanqing got another claw in the fight with the fourth elder, and five wounds more than two inches deep appeared on his abdomen.

"Old Heavenly Master, you are still working hard at such an old age?! Can you fight hard?!" The fourth elder seemed to have selectively forgotten the existence of Jin, and kept fighting with Zhang Xuanqing.

Although Zhang Xuanqing was injured, the energy in his body was still not weakened, and he could not see his face clearly when he was surrounded by Lei Guang.

When Henry Zhang stood still, a person exactly like Henry Zhang appeared behind him from nowhere.

It was also surrounded by lightning, so it was impossible to see its face clearly.

"Shadow Fractal?! Is there really such a magical martial art in this world?!"

Shadow Fractal is an extremely powerful martial art in the Jianghu. It must have a special method and temperament to practice it. This kind of skill is only a legend in the martial arts. No one knows if it exists, but the facts in front of it The Fourth Elder was stunned and unbelievable.

"It's just a cover-up, showing off in front of me!?"

Rapidly rushing forward, the Fourth Elder made a move with one claw, and went straight to the chest of Lei Guang's figure. He didn't believe that Zhang Xuanqing really knew such martial arts.

The blurry figure flickering with lightning blocked the Fourth Elder's claws with a palm, and then pushed the Fourth Elder back with a stroke of strength.

"This is true!"

The fourth elder had already made a judgment in the blink of an eye, and then he made a move and attacked the Dao Leiying in front of him.

At the same time, a figure appeared behind the fourth elder.

When the Fourth Elder approached Lei Guang's figure, he found a strange smile on this mosaic-like face, looking at him as if looking at something interesting.

The Fourth Elder didn't know why he felt this way, but in the next moment, he knew.

The fierce claws directly penetrated the Lei Guang figure in front of him without any hindrance!
This is fake!

And the figure behind the fourth elder punched the fourth elder in the back.

"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spewed out, the Fourth Elder was hit by this punch and rolled on the ground two and a half times, stopping the castration.

"How is it possible?!" The fourth elder's eyes were full of disbelief.

Obviously the figure in front of him just now is real, when did Zhang Xuanqing change positions? !
The figure of the thunder light dissipated, and the thunder light around Henry Zhang's body also disappeared, revealing his true colors.

"Your Daoist's method is not something you and other heretics can understand!"

This is Zhang Xuanqing's lightning-fast walking speed, coupled with his own lightness kungfu and body skills, after discussing with Yang Qingyuan, he researched the unique skill - wind and thunder illusion.

The two figures are both fake, but they can also be real!
As long as your speed is fast enough!

Yang Qingyuan can also do this trick, he stole his master from Baifeng's Feng Wu Liu Huan.

Of course, there is still a difference between superior and inferior. Baifeng's Phoenix Dance and Six Illusions may not be useful in front of masters of the law of heaven and earth, but Yang Qingyuan's common law of heaven and earth is absolutely difficult to decipher.

Zhang Xuanqing's wind and thunder phantom is immature, and it is a great burden on the human body. Although Zhang Xuanqing is advanced in martial arts, he is already old after all. With his current physical condition, it is difficult to display this strange art for a long time.

Just when Zhang Xuanqing and the four elders lined up on both sides, the last stone tablet in the center of the main hall of the Blood River Sect broke.

"Haha, boy, the formation of the five elements has been broken, what are you fighting with me?!"

What the four elders rely on is nothing more than the formation of the five elements. The foundation of the five elements formation has been destroyed, and the momentum of the five elements has been disrupted. The fourth elder will undoubtedly be defeated!
But just when Liao Jin walked to Zhang Xuanqing's side and stood side by side, the fourth elder's mouth raised a strange smile.

In the five stone pits just now, fresh blood continued to flow in, and the five stone pits turned into five pools of blood in a short time.

"You guys are so confident! You can try it!" The Fourth Elder didn't panic at all.

With the ultimate move, Wei Tuo Fu Mo Fist was blasted out, and the extremely fierce fist force brought the power of the Buddhist Dharma protection, and went straight to the face of the Fourth Elder.

But seeing the Fourth Elder, he kept absorbing the evil blood energy around him, and he randomly popped out a finger without dodging or evading.

The strength of this Wei Tuo Fu Mo Shen Fist was wiped out by the Blood River True Gang!

"This?!" Liao Jin looked at his fist subconsciously. He used [-]% of his strength for that punch just now. Without the help of the five elements, it was impossible for the Fourth Elder to catch it so easily.

"I, Blood River Sect, spent decades building the big formation, could it be broken so easily?! What are you thinking?!"

The vitality of the Fourth Elder's body rose instead of falling, and it was three points stronger than before.
