Li Yunxiao frowned, and said displeasedly: "There is a balance of more than 50 million gold coins every year. After deducting the taxes from the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce this time, why are there only 30 million gold coins left? Where did the money go?!"
Wu Zishi felt his displeasure, and said frightenedly: "Back to Wu Chengwang, the annual balance of 50 million gold coins, the former city lord Yu Dehai, spent more than 30 million gold coins every year to manage the court officials, and some Yu adults I took it away when I returned home.”
"Crack!~"
Li Yunxiao slammed the table and said angrily, "This is money from Yanwu City, not Yu Dehai's private bank!"
Wu Zishi lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but muttered inwardly, is there any difference? Every time the city lord left, he basically emptied the city's finances. This time, because it was King Wu Cheng who came, Yu Dehai deliberately left more than 30 million gold coins, saying it was a congratulatory gift for King Wu Cheng's appointment. Unexpectedly, King Wu Cheng was so young and so ignorant of the world.
"Father!"
Li Yunxiao shouted: "Take a few people to the capital and ask Yu Dehai for the money back!"
"Okay!" Li Changfeng laughed, jumped up and shouted angrily, "If you dare to take all the money from my son's fief, I think he doesn't want to live!"
"ah?!"
Wu Zishi was taken aback. How could King Wu Cheng be so confused? Is there any reason to ask for the money that was taken away? How can you give it when you go to someone's house
He hastily said: "King Wu Cheng, absolutely nothing! The younger sister of Lord Yu Dehai is the concubine of His Majesty today, and she is also the emperor's relative and uncle. She also has friendship with many first-rank officials in the court. You must know These tens of millions of gold coins are not given for nothing every year!"
"Oh, by the way, that person from Chaozhong also took them." Li Yunxiao waved his hand and said, "Except for Yu Dehai, the rest of the high officials in the court, who have benefited from my Yanwu City, all spit it out to me! Wu Zishi, report to me the list of the last ten city lords, and recover them together. If they are dead, ask his descendants to ask for them!"
"Ah?!" Wu Zishi immediately petrified on the spot, this, isn't this too ridiculous? Could it be that King Wu Cheng didn't know anything about officialdom? Wouldn't this offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all over the place? I am afraid that this city lord will not be long.
"Haha!" Li Changfeng laughed loudly, twisted Xuanlei Jingyunhou's ears and said with a smile: "Let this beast go with me, and guarantee that the task will be successfully completed!"
"Yeah!" Li Yunxiao snorted, "Remember, there is also interest to be charged together, and it will be calculated as three times the current ordinary interest. You tell these people that if they don't tell the truth, they will wait for me to come to collect the debt in person. !Try to use primordial stones as the main thing, gold coins are things that cannot be eaten or cultivated, too much is useless."
"Okay, I'll go now!" Li Changfeng stepped directly on Xuanlei Jingyunhou, and laughed loudly: "Let's go!"
Xuan Lei Jingyun roared with disturbance and reluctance on his face, but with Li Yunxiao's order, he could only bow his head and obey, turning into a thunderbolt and rushing towards the capital in an instant.
Wu Zishi was taken aback by the momentum and speed of this monster, and was dripping with cold sweat. But when he thought of the consequences of Li Changfeng's departure, he suddenly smiled wryly in his heart. It seemed that the city lord was about to change again.
"I am appointing you as the deputy city lord right now. From now on, you will be the master of everything in the city. Except for money, you don't need to report to me. When I want to be the master, I will naturally come to you."
Li Yunxiao left after dropping these words, leaving the completely petrified Wu Zishi standing there with a dazed and at a loss.
Just so casually, he became the deputy city lord
You must know that Yanwu City is the most affluent city in Tianshui Kingdom, and every appointment of a small official will affect the nerves of the senior officials in the court. The position of deputy city lord has been contested by many officials for many years, and the court and China have not been able to finalize it. King Wu Cheng appointed himself just like playing house
Wu Zishi's mind began to be a little dazed, feeling dreamlike and unreal. He stumbled back to lie on the bed and went to sleep, thinking that he must have not woken up, and everything would be normal when he woke up.
Li Yunxiao couldn't care less about settling down, left everyone behind and headed for the chamber of commerce, taking only Mengwu and Jia Rong with him. One is his apprentice, the other is his servant, who is easy to command, and the other is a confidante, who looks seductive. The others are either teachers or old men. He is not interested in shopping with these people.
Looking at the sign of Wanbao Building hanging high at this moment, it is indeed the Wanbao Building that he knew in his previous life. It seems that the power of this organization has penetrated far beyond what I expected.
According to legend, Wanbaolou is the wealthiest organization in Tianwu Continent, and its wealth is even higher than that of the Alchemist Guild. Moreover, Wanbao Building itself has recruited a large number of alchemists to serve it, and there are countless warriors of all kinds. So although the family is big and the business is big, no one dares to peep.
"Master, go in quickly, what are you doing here!"
Meng Bai hurriedly urged, young people like to be lively, and he is a child born in poverty, he has seen very little in the world, and he can't wait any longer.
Meng Wu was also extremely excited, and specially changed into a new outfit, just like a beautiful little lily in a field of flowers, which was eye-catching. Ever since she got together with Li Yunxiao, Qin Yue greeted the two siblings meticulously, and did what they liked. All kinds of latest clothing, jewelry and makeup were delivered continuously, giving priority to 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 understand that this is the benefit brought to them by Li Yunxiao's status and weight, and they pay more attention to their own strength. Now the two siblings are already five-star warriors, and Mengbai has reached the peak of five-star existence.
Fortunately, Li Yunxiao's light was too bright, so no one paid attention to the two siblings, otherwise their jaws would drop in surprise.
Li Yunxiao smiled slightly, and then led everyone in. The Chamber of Commerce occupied several important main streets of Yanwu City, and it was already crowded with people from the Huowu Empire and other affiliated kingdoms. The voices of bargaining are endless.
The eyeballs of the Mengwu sisters were straightened, when had they seen so many items. Although Jia Rong has participated in the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce several times, he is still very interested and keeps checking whether there is anything he needs.
There was a lot of people everywhere, and many merchants had built temporary shops, and there were even more who had nowhere to go, so they just spread an animal skin blanket on the ground and started selling it as simple as that.
"Master, master, there are many people here, let's go in and have a look!"
Meng Bai jumped up and pointed to the door of a shop, surrounded by several people outside, who didn't know what was on sale that attracted so many crowds. He was short and short, so he squeezed in all at once, and he couldn't see anyone.
Inside 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 entrance, inside which stood a dome of a baby laughing, shining colorfully under the reflection of the crystal vessel, so beautiful.
"Monster egg?" Jia Rong said in surprise, "This is a rare item that is hard to come by. It's not an exaggeration to take it to participate in the auction. I didn't expect it to be placed so casually."
Meng Wu looked at it obsessively, with a look of longing, "What a beautiful easter egg, I don't know what kind of monster is inside."
Li Yunxiao couldn't help laughing and said: "It's just an ordinary white monster egg. It looks like the color is completely the function of this crystal vessel. Look at the description next to it, it's a second-level cracking wind poisonous weasel. Huh, poisonous weasel?"
Li Yunxiao was taken aback for a moment, and muttered to himself, "Although this second-level egg has a weak breath of life, it is the egg of a poisonous weasel after all. It should be of great benefit to boil it for Mengbai to eat."
Jia Rong smiled wryly, "Young Master Yun, you don't really want to buy it and cook it, do you?" If you want to eat priceless monster eggs, Yun Shao is probably the only one who can do it.
"En", Li Yunxiao nodded slightly, and Jia Rong immediately helped him squeeze a path and walked in.
I saw a jade plaque standing next to the Poison Weasel Egg, which read: Level 2 Poison Weasel Egg, the growth cycle is five years, and the actual combat power of the Poison Weasel after adulthood is comparable to that of a great martial artist. , the best companion for murder and profit!
"Boss, we know that this monster egg is precious, so we don't need to say more. But the price of 10,000 middle-grade primordial stones is too appalling. Shouldn't it be cheaper?" But nothing less.
"How cheap?" The goatee said, blowing his beard and staring: "It's already the price of jumping off a building and vomiting blood. You want me to give you the price of smashing bones! If you don't need money urgently, do you think you can buy one with 10,000 yuan of middle-grade primordial stones?" A second-level monster egg? And the most powerful poisonous weasel egg? Go ahead and dream!"
The goatee sighed and said, "Oh, let's be honest. We've already lost our money on this egg, and it can't be cheaper. In fact, it's 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 all stared at this monster egg, even if they couldn't afford it, at least they could see who got it.
The martial artist's face showed reluctance and pain, he and the others glanced at each other, and immediately squeezed out of the crowd, discussing in a low voice. The rest of the people were talking and watching happily.
Soon, the martial artist squeezed in again, seeming to have made up his mind and said: "Boss, I bought this egg! But whether it is a second-level split wind poisonous weasel in it, you have to give us a proof, otherwise you will buy it back." If it's not a weasel or a dead egg, then we're really lost."
The goatee pointed to several trademarks next to him and said: "Open your eyes and see clearly, this is the seven-day no-reason return trademark issued by Wanbaolou, and there is also a product credit guarantee trademark. If we dare to sell fake products, we will die. !"
