Li Yunxiao frowned and said displeasedly: "There is a balance of more than 50 million gold coins every year. After excluding the tax from Wanbao Chamber of Commerce, how come there are only 30 million gold coins left? Where did the money go?!"
Wu Zizhi felt his displeasure and said with fear: "Back to King Wucheng, the remaining 50 million gold coins every year, the former city lord Yu Dehai spent more than 30 million every year to manage the high officials in the court, and there are still some Yu Dehai
I took it with me when I retired and returned home."
"Pa!~"
Li Yunxiao slammed the table and said angrily: "This is the money of Yanwu City, not his private bank of Yu Dehai!"
Wu Zizhi lowered his head and did not dare to speak, but kept muttering secretly, is there any difference? Every time the city lord left, he basically wiped out all the city's finances. This time, because the King of Wucheng came, Yu Dehai also
He deliberately left more than 30 million gold coins as a congratulatory gift for King Wu Cheng on his assumption of office. Unexpectedly, King Wu Cheng was so young and ignorant of worldly affairs.
"Dad!"
Li Yunxiao shouted: "Take a few people to the capital and get the money back from Yu Dehai!"
"Okay!" Li Changfeng laughed, jumped up and shouted angrily: "If you dare to take away all the money on my son's land, I think he doesn't want to live anymore!"
"ah?!"
Wu Zizhi was shocked, how could King Wu Cheng be so confused? How could there be any reason to get back the money he took away? How could you go to someone else's house and be willing to give it back?
He hurriedly said: "King Wu Cheng, you must not do it! This Lord Yu Dehai's sister is your Majesty's concubine. After all, she is still the royal uncle. And she has friendship with many first-class officials in the court. You know
These tens of millions of gold coins every year are not given in vain!"
"Oh, by the way, the person in the court also took it." Li Yunxiao waved his hand and said: "Except for Yu Dehai, all the other high-ranking officials in the court who have benefited from my Yanwu City will spit them out!
Wu Zishi, please give me the list of the last ten city lords and recover them together. If they are dead, ask their descendants for them!"
"Ah?!" Wu Zishi was instantly petrified on the spot. This, this is too ridiculous, isn't it? Does King Wu Cheng know nothing about officialdom? Wouldn't this offend the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty? I'm afraid this city lord
It won't be long.
"Haha!" Li Changfeng laughed, pinched Xuan Lei Jingyun roar's ears and said with a smile: "Let this beast come with me to ensure that the mission is successfully completed!"
"Yeah!" Li Yunxiao snorted: "Remember, interest must also be charged, which is calculated as three times the current ordinary interest. Tell these people, if they don't spit it out honestly, wait for me to come to collect the debt in person.
! Try to use Yuan Stone as the main ingredient. Gold coins cannot be eaten or cultivated. Too much is useless."
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Li Changfeng stepped directly onto Xuan Lei Jingyunhou and laughed, "Let's go!"
Xuan Lei Jing Yun roar's face was full of harassment and reluctance, but given Li Yunxiao's order, he could only obey with his head hanging down, and turned into a bolt of lightning and ran towards the capital in an instant.
Wu Zishi was startled by the momentum and speed of this monster, and was covered in cold sweat. But when he thought about the consequences of Li Changfeng's departure, he suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that the city lord was about to be replaced again.
"I am appointing you as the deputy city lord now. From now on, you will make the decision on everything in the city. Except for money matters, you don't need to report to me. I will naturally come to you when I want to make the decision."
Li Yunxiao left after saying these words, leaving Wu Zizhi, who was completely petrified, standing there blankly, with a face full of confusion and confusion.
Just by casually becoming the deputy city lord?
You must know that Yanwu City is the most prosperous city in the Tianshui Kingdom. Every appointment of a small official affects the nerves of the high officials in the court. Many officials have been competing for the position of deputy city lord for many years, and the court and the government have been unable to finalize it.
King Wu Cheng actually appointed himself just like that?
Wu Zishi's mind began to feel a little dazed, with a dreamlike and unreal feeling. He stumbled back and lay down on the bed to sleep, thinking to himself that he must not have woken up, and that everything would be normal when he woke up.
Li Yunxiao didn't bother to settle down, so he left everyone and headed towards the chamber of commerce, taking only the Mengwu siblings and Jia Rong with him. One was his apprentice, the other was his servant, easy to handle, and the other was a beauty, eye-catching.
.The others are either teachers or old men. He has no interest in going shopping with these people.
Looking at the Wanbao Tower logo hanging high at the moment, it is indeed the Wanbao Tower I knew in my previous life. It seems that the power of this organization has penetrated far beyond my expectation.
According to legend, Wanbao Tower is the wealthiest organization in the Tianwu Continent, and its wealth is not even inferior to that of the Art Refiners Guild. Moreover, Wanbao Tower itself has recruited a large number of Art Refiners to serve it, including countless warriors of all kinds.
So even though the family has a big business, no one dares to pry into it.
"Master, come in quickly, why are you standing here?"
Mengbai urged him fiercely. Young people loved the excitement the most, and he was a child born in poverty. He had seen little of the world, so he couldn't wait any longer.
Meng Wu was also extremely excited. She specially changed into a new style of clothing, just like a beautiful little lily among the flowers, catching everyone's attention. Ever since she got together with Li Yunxiao, Qin Yue had been greeting her two siblings with great care, and
As he liked, all kinds of the latest clothes, jewelry and makeup were constantly sent to him, and he was given priority over the concubines in the palace.
The two siblings were a little uncomfortable at first, but later they accepted it openly. At the same time, they also understood that this was the benefit that Li Yunxiao's status and weight brought to them, and they began to pay more attention to their own strength. Now the two siblings are already five-stars.
As a warrior, Mengbai has reached the peak of five-star existence.
Fortunately, Li Yunxiao's light was so bright that no one noticed the two siblings, otherwise their jaws would have dropped in surprise.
Li Yunxiao smiled slightly and then led everyone in. The Chamber of Commerce occupied several important main streets in Yanwu City. It was already crowded with people. People from the Huowu Empire and other affiliated kingdoms all gathered here. Various
The sounds of bargaining are endless.
The Mengwu sisters' eyes widened when they saw so many items. Although Jia Rong had participated in the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce several times, he was also very interested and couldn't help but look at whether there was anything he needed.
There was a buzz of people everywhere. Many vendors had temporarily set up shops, and many more had no space. They simply spread an animal skin blanket on the ground and started selling.
"Master, master, there are many people here, let's go in and take a look!"
Meng Bai jumped up and pointed to the door of a shop. There were several circles of people outside. He didn't know what he was selling that attracted so many people. The others were small and short, so they squeezed in immediately and no one could be seen.
In the shop was a short old man with a goatee, smiling and explaining his items to everyone. A huge crystal vessel was placed on a square table at the door, with a giant egg of a laughing baby standing inside.
The colorful light shines under the reflection of the crystal vessel, how beautiful it is.
"Monster egg?" Jia Rong said in surprise: "This thing is a rare item that is extremely rare to see. It is not an exaggeration to take it to an auction. I didn't expect it to be placed so casually."
Meng Wu looked at it obsessively, with a longing look on her face, "What a beautiful easter egg. I wonder what kind of monster is inside."
Li Yunxiao couldn't help but laugh and said: "It's just an ordinary white monster egg. The color looks completely due to the effect of this crystal vessel. Look at the description next to it, it's a second-level wind-splitting poison weasel. Hey, poison weasel?"
Li Yunxiao was stunned for a moment and murmured to himself, "Although this second-level egg has a weak vitality, it is the egg of a poisonous ferret after all. If you cook it and give it to Mengbai to eat, it should be of great benefit."
Jia Rong had a wry smile on his face, "Master Yun, you don't really want to buy it and cook it, do you?" If you want to eat priceless monster eggs, it is estimated that only Master Yun can do it.
"Yeah." Li Yunxiao nodded slightly, and Jia Rong immediately helped him squeeze out a way and walked in.
I saw a jade plaque erected next to the poisonous ferret egg, which read: The second-level cracking wind poisonous ferret egg has a growth cycle of five years. The real combat power of the cracking wind poisonous ferret after adulthood is comparable to that of a great martial artist. It is a perfect way to travel at home.
, the best companion for killing and stealing!
"Boss, we know that these monster eggs are precious, so we don't need to say more. But the price of 10,000 mid-grade Yuan Stones is too shocking. Is it cheaper?" A warrior said with a bitter look on his face, and the enthusiasm in his eyes.
But it hasn't diminished at all.
"How much cheaper?" Goateebeard said with a glare: "It's already the price of jumping off a building and vomiting blood, and you want me to give you the price of my body and bones! If you don't need money urgently, do you think you can buy one for 10,000 yuan of middle-grade Yuan Stone?
A second-level monster egg? And the most powerful poisonous ferret egg? Go ahead and dream!"
Goatee sighed and said: "Well, to be honest. We have already lost money on this egg, and it can't be cheaper anymore. In fact, it is mainly to attract popularity. You might as well go to the store to see if there are any more
Something needed.”
No one in the crowd moved, obviously not interested in anything else he said. They were all staring at this monster egg. Even if they couldn't afford it, they could at least take a look at it.
The warrior's face showed a look of reluctance and pain. He and the others looked at each other, and immediately squeezed out of the crowd to discuss in a low voice. The rest of the people also talked about it and watched the excitement happily.
Soon, the warrior squeezed in again, seeming to have made up his mind and said: "Boss, I bought this egg! But whether it contains the second-level Split Wind Poison Weasel, you have to give us a proof, otherwise you will buy it back.
If it’s not a poisonous weasel or a dead egg, then we will really lose everything.”
Goatee pointed at several trademarks next to him and said: "Open your eyes and see clearly. This is the seven-day no-reasons return trademark issued by Wanbaolou, as well as the product credit guarantee trademark. If we dare to sell fakes, we will die."
