Ding Si glanced at the account book and the spirit stone and said, "Master, do you believe these three?"
Ye Li shook his head and said, "Of course I don't believe it, but I think they don't have any way to fight against me, so they can only choose to compromise.
You should first count the account books and spirit stones, and then find a way to hire some accountants to count the properties in the three towns for me after a while.
These guys will definitely not pay taxes honestly. I will collect the taxes directly this time, but next time I will have to be more cautious before I collect them. "
After hearing Ye Li's order, Ding Si hurriedly took the order and left.
The other half, the three mayors who walked out of Ye Li Manor, were now sitting in the same carriage, looking at each other with serious faces.
"Brother Wang, we have already paid most of the taxes this time, so we can only keep a small part of the spirit stones. This is really a big loss.
Are you willing to do this? I am not willing to do this anyway!"
Liu Huai said with resentment on his face.
Zhang Wenliu also had a face full of hatred, and said: "When this guy came, our interests were taken away.
Without this tax money, we would suffer a significant loss every year.
I said before that I would use this year’s tax money to expand the family business, but now it seems that’s all gone. I really can’t stand this!!!”
Wang Yue glanced at the two of them, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Since you two have known me for many years, and you and I are now standing on the same boat, then I will not hide it from you. In fact, I am a member of the Mengshan Society!"
After hearing Wang Yue's words, the two were stunned. Liu Huai asked in surprise: "Are you from the Mengshan Society
Isn't the Mengshan Society a gang that covers the entire country? Some even say that they have the potential to become a second imperial court!
But Dongfang County is originally a poor place, and the Mengshan Society is very weak here. This Ye Li is so strong, can the Mengshan Society really do anything to him?"
Zhang Wenliu was also somewhat puzzled and said, "Isn't the Mengshan Society an organization that is both good and evil? Strictly speaking, it can't even be considered an underworld force. Sometimes it even ally with the imperial court."
Wang Yue smiled mysteriously and said, "Not only that, the Mengshan Society is actually not just an organization spread all over the country, but an organization that covers almost the entire continent.
Only the Mengshan Society in the Tang Kingdom is called the Mengshan Society, in the Yuan Kingdom it is called the Shanqiu League, in the White Lotus Kingdom it is called the Burning Lamp Sect, if we must give us a general name, then I think we should be called the Tianxia League!!!"
As they were talking, a series of spring sounds suddenly rang out from the walls of the carriage that the three people were riding in. The windows of the carriage that were originally open were instantly blocked. The entire inner wall of the carriage was covered with rune marks, forming a thick protective shield that wrapped the three people inside.
"Brother Wang... this... what is going on!!!"
Liu Huai looked at Wang Yue with some horror.
This carriage was provided by Wang Yue, and the changes in the carriage now must be related to Wang Yue.
"It's nothing, and you don't have to be afraid. It's just that you just heard some confidential news, so I have to isolate you all first.
What you have just heard is the secret of our Mengshan Society and also the secret of our Tianxia Alliance. No outsiders in the world know this news except our internal members.
So, now that you know this news, you only have two choices, either become one of us, or become a dead person..."
As Wang Yue spoke, an extremely strange smile appeared on his face, and Liu Huai and Zhang Wenliu couldn't help but shiver violently.
"Brother Wang... this... this is a bit too much!!!"
Liu Huai felt a little resentful. After all, they didn't want to know this news at all. It was Wang Yue who said it himself.
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed forcing you to join my Mengshan Society.
Although our Mengshan Society has not invested enough manpower and material resources in Dongfang County, we have been operating here for many years after all. We even want to rely on our members in the court to take over this place and use it as a base for our Mengshan Society.
Now that this guy named Ye has arrived, he has disrupted all our plans. This incident also made the higher-ups a little angry.
However, we have not invested enough manpower here, and we cannot launch a strong counterattack against the Ye family in a short period of time.
But there are some things that we have already prepared for, and it won’t be long before the entire Tang Kingdom will change.
By then, we will not only take over this piece of land, but also the entire Tang Kingdom.
I am willing to invite you to join the Mengshan Society because you have followed my lead for so many years, so I ask you again, are you willing to join the society? "
After hearing Wang Yue's words and judging from the information he just revealed, the map of Mengshan Club is definitely huge, even beyond their imagination.
The two looked at each other, then looked at the completely enclosed carriage in front of them, and couldn't help swallowing, with a trace of fear in their eyes.
After a moment of silence, the two seemed to have finally made a decision. They nodded, and Liu Huai said, "Brother Wang, I... I am willing to become a member of the Mengshan Society!"
Zhang Wenliu also nodded and said, "Brother Wang, I am also willing to join the Mengshan Society!"
Hearing the two's answers, Wang Yue burst into laughter and said, "Okay, that's good, then I will take you to the headquarters of the Mengshan Association in Dongfang County.
After you officially join the Mengshan Society, we will discuss together how to deal with that guy named Ye.
Even if we can't do anything to him for a while, we can't let him live too comfortably here, we have to find something for him to do."
… … … … … …
After receiving the taxes of that year, Ye Li had made a huge profit, because Li Rushan told Ye Li that the taxes he collected now did not need to be paid and could be used as the first capital for his territory.
Although Li Rushan moved Ye Lizhi to this marginal area, his investment in Dongfang County was enormous.
Not only did they make financial investments, but they also allocated a lot of manpower. On the fifth day after Ding Si sent the superstition back, Li Rushan's reply arrived.
The letter affirmed that Ye Li was able to conquer and integrate Dongfang County, and informed everyone that three thousand elite soldiers and weaponsmiths would be here soon.
After Ye Li completes the construction of the camp, he can consider building a city. However, building a city will require more manpower and a huge number of resources. At that time, he will invest more manpower and resources.
However, three thousand elite soldiers are the limit of what he can give. Ye Li needs to find a way to get the remaining legion manpower on his own.
