In the morning, Gu Longjun rushed to the palace. Knowing that I was still resting, he waited outside shamelessly. If Aragaki hadn't stopped him, he might have sent me a message.
I'm too lazy to keep him waiting. It's necessary to pour cold water on his head occasionally, so that he won't be worried about the throne for a while.
Seeing me getting up to get dressed, Gu Longxiu pulled the quilt to cover her fair neck. I couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm going to meet your handsome brother. You can rest here first."
After hearing this, Gu Longxiu stretched out her hand to pull her clothes into the quilt, and then put them on rustlingly, her face was extremely rosy, and her bright eyes still flashed a shy light, she whispered: "Xiu'er...
...Go too, don't let Brother Jun be too unscrupulous... Moreover, Xiu'er is responsible for dressing up..."
"Then you have to hurry up. I'm almost done wearing them." I didn't stop her, but I still wanted to tease her a little.
Gu Longxiu immediately panicked and quickly increased her speed, but in the end she was too hasty and her clothes were inevitably a little untidy. Seeing her standing in front of me, carefully and carefully arranging her clothes and cuffs, I couldn't help but feel like we were having a romantic relationship.
This also made me chuckle.
"Brother, what are you laughing at..." Gu Longxiu saw that I was laughing at her with some evil intentions, and immediately followed my gaze to look at herself. As a result, she was so scared that she screamed "Ah" and thought
The neckline needs to be closed.
Although I wanted to bully her for a while, I gave it up after thinking about it carefully. After all, Gu Longxiu was innocent and it was better not to scare her, so I got dressed and walked out of the room first.
Outside the main hall, Gu Longjun had a smile on his face. When he saw me, he knelt down to say hello. Then he smiled and said, "Boss, how did you sleep last night?"
"Haha, you are willing to spend money. This palace really makes people fall asleep and forget to leave. However, by coming here so early, are you urging me to get up or do you think I am sleeping here too much?" I asked with a sneer.
When Gu Longjun saw that my expression was wrong, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he quickly knelt down and said, "Boss, how dare I have such thoughts! It's just that I really have something to do. That's why I came to see you!"
"Hmph, even if there is something, you can postpone it as appropriate. If you come to me so early, is it because of the military situation in the alien land?" I snorted lightly, and Gu Longjun said quickly: "It's all... it's all.
Some official matters, although not military, still have to go through you..."
"Well, I'm too lazy to tell you this, a playboy like you. Please tell me quickly, what is it?" I asked.
Of course, Gu Longjun knew how to evade the important and take the easy. When he saw that I was not in a happy mood, he immediately did not dare to talk about the Gu Long Emperor. Instead, he said: "The head of the Lu family in our Gulong family's ring territory will be waiting at dawn. I will
Didn't you come over to help deal with this matter together..."
"Isn't Gu Longchi in charge of this matter? When did it become your turn to take over?" I asked back. Gu Longjun was startled and said quickly: "Boss, the younger brother had handed over this matter to Emperor Chi last night.
I am..."
I frowned slightly and said, "You'd better handle this matter with confidence, otherwise I'll blame you for this crime!"
Gu Longjun's face suddenly turned red and white, but he nodded quickly. At this time, Gu Longxiu also walked out of the palace. As soon as Gu Longjun saw her, his face softened instantly. He probably felt that his sister was coming.
This will solve my problem of "Long Yan is furious".
But unexpectedly Gu Longxiu had no expression on his face. Even if he saluted like a minister, Gu Longxiu just nodded and then stood next to me.
"Then... shall I call the head of the Lu family and other family heads up?" Gu Longjun said with a bitter smile. Seeing me nodding, he immediately called the Xian family outside and asked them to bring them in.
Seeing that there were seven or eight family heads coming in, I wasn't surprised. After all, they were all listed on the list. These guys were all the hard-core households in the old Tiancheng, and they were all difficult to deal with.
Gu Longchi did not come at this time, and he was obviously kicked out by his eldest brother. This kind of credit, if done well, is a great achievement, and he did it with me, so how could Gu Longjun let Gu Longchi intervene and cut off Hu directly?
.
Gu Longchi is probably also depressed. What can he do now? Apart from hoping that I will notice, he is almost just meat on the chopping board. No one has put his wings on him yet. The wisest choice at this time is to listen to Gu Longjun everywhere.
of.
The heads of several families knelt on the ground. I looked serious and asked, "Do you know why I recruited you?"
These clan leaders were quite stubborn. After Shan shouted slogans and worshiped, no one said a word. After Gu Longjun reprimanded him for a few words and then picked out the biggest head of the Lu family, Lu Lin, the leader of the Lu family, said bitterly: "The city lord will take us."
Of course we are aware of the summons, but because of our sinful bodies, we dare not offend Tianwei again..."
"Haha. You all dare to evade taxes and raise private soldiers, so what's the problem with me being obedient and disobeying me?" I sneered. This frightened the patriarchs of several families.
They didn't dare to say anything.
Of course they are afraid of me. They have a lot of families and people to support behind them, and there are countless interfaces that provide them with benefits, but I can turn all of this into nothing with just one word.
Of course, I wouldn't really do that. But with the reputation of being evil, these family patriarchs certainly take it for granted.
"Among you, there are members of the 64th family, but you are used to being prepared for the orders of the current Celestial City. Do you really think that I am blind? Are you still looking forward to the return of the old Celestial City to the fairyland of Celestial City?" I asked again.
road.
These clan leaders were so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything again. Lu Lin already looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, and even at this time he crawled a few trembling steps to get closer to me.
He raised his head and said: "It's not that we are unwilling to follow Tiancheng's instructions, but in fact we are unwilling to line the pockets of the larger families and let them say that we are still die-hard orphans of the old Tiancheng Immortal Realm...
…"
"What do you mean? Are you under the jurisdiction of these four royal families, so you are not the citizens of Xintian City? As for paying taxes, what's wrong with it? If you don't contribute to Xintian City, you still plan to integrate into everyone, is it possible?
?" I also muttered in my heart. These families are neither big nor small, but each of them has a lot of problems, and they are in industries all over Tiancheng.
Some industries even have monopoly status, and they are intricately intertwined and have intertwined interests. The people who can see me this time were all one of the sixty-four families in the old Tiancheng. But now there is no such thing, and I still hold this idea.
They are all left over from the past, old stubborns who were loyal to the fairyland of the old Tiancheng. They are also some of the internal troubles Tiancheng is currently facing.
Not only do they not intend to send outstanding children out, they also raise private soldiers to resist the investigation from above. It is normal for them to obey the law and violate the law. However, the family has a big business and a certain reputation in the entire Tiancheng. If they want to ban it, it will attract public opinion and will also cause a certain amount of public opinion.
It's damaged, so it's best to solve it without losing any blood.
Xintian City rules the current Jiuchongtian. Of course, the taxes of each family have been reformed. After all, the dynasties have changed. It is impossible not to use more scientific methods. However, these families have resisted and continued to pay taxes according to the old rules. This will inevitably affect too many departments.
.
Of course, it's not Han Shanshan's turn to say anything about taxes alone. But at the same time, tax evasion, cutting corners and adulteration made Han Shanshan furious. If she offended her, she would go straight to Tianting. I will solve this problem smoothly.
So these family patriarchs are probably wondering why I care about them.
"The city lord doesn't know that with the destruction of the old Tiancheng, the Lu family's interface suffered equally heavy losses. All the precious medicinal materials were destroyed in that battle, and new medicinal materials are now being cultivated in various interfaces. You know, it took decades.
, what medicinal effects can the immortal medicinal materials have? As for the tax every year, we use our original capital to pay the tax, and we will not be able to repay it until the medicinal materials are really grown... Of course we want to respond to this new tax algorithm, but we can follow it
After calculating this, the tax is too heavy and we cannot bear it at all, so we can only pay it as before..." Lu Lin said sadly.
