Origin Chapter 694: The way to be a king

Hearing Wu Dalie's words, Wu Zhongyuan stopped and turned around, "Oh?"

"We got some clues unintentionally, it is likely related to the golden dragon armor." Wu Dalie said.

"Golden Dragon Armor?" Wu Zhongyuan repeated. He only mentioned the Golden Dragon Armor to the old blind man. Others didn't know about it, and Wu Dalie shouldn't know about it.

"Exactly," Wu Dalie stretched his right hand forward, motioned as he walked, and when Wu Zhongyuan took a step, Wu Dalie followed him and said in a low voice, "The golden dragon armor was originally the armor worn by the emperor Fuxi back then. According to legend, it was made of golden dragon scales. Incomparably hard and amazing, this magical armor vanished after Fuxi leveled the six realms, and this time we got some clues by chance, if we can follow the clues to find the golden dragon armor, it can also add a lot of help to the holy battle against the five realms."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer, just nodded. It was early evening, and there were many pedestrians on the street. Such important matters should not be discussed on the street.

Wu Dalie may also have the same idea, and he did not continue to speak. Instead, he took Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Qing to the city lord's mansion, and reported to Wu Zhongyuan the business situation of Yinma River in the past six months. In the East China Sea, the Western Desert, the Northern Xinjiang, and the Southern Wilderness, there are large easy-to-change markets, namely Qingxu, Lianshankuang, Yinma River and Goat Valley. It was suppressed by the cattle tribe, so only the Yinma River and the Goat Valley remained. The Goat Valley is still prosperous, but the best life is the Yinma River. At present, in addition to the easy-to-change business in Nanhuang, it is still in the Goat Valley. , the rest of the east, west, north, and three sides, including the Central Plains, most of the trade will be carried out in the Yinma River. The development of the Yinma River in the past six months can only be described as prosperous and daily gold, including metals, salt, grain, cloth, Various living and strategic materials including livestock have accumulated in large quantities.

The city where Yinma River is located originally belonged to Daze, and the city owner of Daze is now Wu Qin. Before that, Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Qin had agreed that a part of Yinma River's income would be given to him, but Wu Qin did not withhold it, but gave all the tribute to the court. Right now, the tax from Yinma River alone can support two large camps of ten thousand people.

In addition to accumulating a lot of wealth, Yinmahe also made another huge contribution in the past six months, that is, the currency cast by the imperial court was passed, because Goat Valley also recognized this shell-shaped copper currency At this time, the currency issued by the imperial court has been generally accepted inside and outside the Central Plains, and its purchasing power has also been solidified.

Wu Zhongyuan returned from Xinyue Island not long ago. Before that, the memorials of each city were reviewed in six parts. What Wu Dalie said was reported to Youxiong through the memorials before, but Wu Zhongyuan did not see those memorials. I just listened to the brief mention of the Sixth Division. I was very pleased to hear Wu Dalie’s detailed report this time. The universal use of currency is a sign of the stability of the regime. This is also the reason why Qin Shihuang unified the currency immediately after the unification of the six countries. The greatest significance of currency circulation is the imperial court. It can firmly control the lifeline of the national economy, because the court has the power to make money, and at a critical moment, it can borrow the wealth in the hands of the people by issuing currency.

Between the two of them talking, they arrived at the city lord's mansion, and the black widow was standing outside the gate, but she didn't come out to greet Wu Zhongyuan, because she didn't know that Wu Zhongyuan was here. This time she came out to see off the guests. A middle-aged man in sheep fur should be two horse dealers.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan, Black Widow was very pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly greeted him and greeted Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Qing. After the ceremony, they congratulated him one after another. First, he was promoted to Tailing. Second, he quelled the rebellion. Third, he passed. The divine artifact Hunyuan Ding has obtained a large number of Heavenly Rank Spirit Pills.

The reason why the black widow knew about the elixir was because Wu Zhongyuan had previously decreed to report the results of every elixir-making process to every major city. It also has the power to directly connect with the court.

Welcome the two into the mansion, and the black widow ordered someone to clean up the banquet. Seeing that she might not be able to leave today, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wu Qing. Seeing a little regret in Wu Qing's eyes, she knew that she wanted to go earlier. Back at her parents' house, although Wu Qin went to Youxiong to see her before, Wu Qing's mother didn't go with her. She hadn't seen her mother for more than half a year.

Yinma River is a city under the jurisdiction of Daze, which is very close to Daze. After a brief pondering, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Wu Dalie and Hua Niangzi to send Wu Qing back first, while he stayed to talk to the black widow.

While waiting for the banquet to be served, the black widow invited Wu Zhongyuan into the main hall, took the throne, and then went straight to the topic. Due to the strong support of the imperial court, the development of Yinma River was changing with each passing day. Yinma River itself is too generous, and now the court is at a critical juncture in spending money, the black widow decided to change the tax ratio, turn over 90% of the court, and keep 10% for herself.

Wu Zhongyuan did not expect Black Widow to have such a high level of consciousness.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan agreed to her suggestion, Black Widow was relieved. She has been in business for many years and is well versed in business. She knows that if you want to expand your business, you must obtain official support. With official help, you can get huge assistance and even policy support. However, the scale of cooperation with the official must be carefully adjusted, and it can never be on an equal footing with the official, otherwise it will bring disaster to itself.

As an official, Wu Zhongyuan also needs to cooperate with businessmen. Many principles are similar in ancient and modern times. Officials at all levels need to develop the local economy. In modern times, this is also one of the important criteria for the promotion of officials. If the economy does not develop, there will be no money. , there is no way to improve people's living standards without money.

There is a derogatory term called collusion between officials and businessmen. In fact, this is only said by ignorant people, because there is no collusion between officials and businessmen. The relationship between officials and businessmen is very close. The bigger the enterprise is, the more officials it contacts. also higher.

The Black Widow is a Taixuan Xiuwei, and the Dongyunju in Taiping Village is also a Taixuan Xiuwei. Worried that the Black Widow can't hold Dongyunju, Wu Zhongyuan asked about the situation of Dongyunju in Yinma River. Black Widow It can be regarded as knowing people and making good use of them. Knowing that Dong Yunju is not a good person, he gave him the business of gambling stalls and brothels. Dong Yunju and Liu Chan are the same thing, and they have no ambitions.

Wu Zhongyuan is still quite repulsive in his heart for this kind of gray industry, and is always associated with hiding dirt and filth, but even the Yellow Emperor can't always do what he wants to do. People like Dong Yunju, If it is not incorporated and continues to stay in the Southern Wilderness, after the seal disappears, it must be a traitor leader.

As for the gray industry in Yinmahe, there is no way to do it. As a Huangdi, you must have a strong heart, not obsessive-compulsive, let alone moral cleanliness. Even in modern times, gambling and **** in Macau and Hong Kong are legal. These are all special phenomena in special areas in special times, and do not mean that the whole country is like this.

The banquet was ready. Wu Dalie and Hua Niangzi just came back. After Wu Zhongyuan considered it, he sent someone to call Dong Yunju. Although he didn't like this person, he could not deny that this person had an objective action of reforming. The objective action, not the supervisory idea, is because Dong Yunju can't change it at all, and he doesn't want to change it. Everything he does is done for him, but it can be pretended.

Dong Yunju has already received the news, knowing that Wu Zhongyuan is coming, has been waiting at home for a long time, and after being invited to come, he is greeted and thanked again.

Wu Zhongyuan was also very polite to Dong Yunju. There were two reasons. First, the four worm golden bodies rebelled and forced the palace. Dong Yunju also ran over to King Qin to **** him, which is really rare. The second is that Dong Yunju led the masses to move north, which is a kind of exile. He is sensitive and thinks he is relying on others. For relatives and friends who come to seek refuge in him, he must be warmly entertained.

The banquet is rich but not extravagant. Chinese people like to talk about things at the banquet table. This habit has existed since ancient times. There are many rules for banquets. Black Widow and others toast Wu Zhongyuan one by one. Well, let's make a statement to the leader, how to do the work in the future.

Afterwards, Wu Zhongyuan responded, and he had to say something, just his expectations and requirements.

After a single toast is over, the two will toast together. Black Widow and Wu Dalie toast together. The toast reassures Wu Zhongyuan, and the two cooperate very happily.

Wu Zhongyuan said that Yinma River is dominated by black widows, and Wu Dalie is a rambunctious person. It would be good to be a helper to the black widow together with Hua Niangzi.

Although Wu Zhongyuan said this, Wu Dalie was very useful. There is nothing more gratifying than the fact that the Yellow Emperor has no distance from himself. And Hua Niangzi was also in a good mood, because Wu Zhongyuan did not ignore her existence.

Afterwards, the black widow and Hua Niangzi toasted together, saying that they thanked Wu Zhongyuan for sheltering and entrusting him with important tasks, while Wu Zhongyuan thanked Yinmahe for his previous generosity and selfless gifts. Those who have made a fortune must not forget their difficult times. help from others.

Afterwards, Wu Dalie and Hua Niangzi toasted together, reassuring Wu Zhongyuan that the two of them would definitely be Black Widow's deputy. Wu Zhongyuan didn't say much this time, just nodded in relief.

Dong Yunju arrived at the first time, and was relatively close to everyone, Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to respect him and Wu Dalie, only that Dong Yunju did all bad things, did bad business, and had many enemies, and he must follow up in the future. Wu Dalie has a good relationship. Wu Dalie likes to gamble. He must win some money when he goes to the gambling stall to make money. If one day he loses an arm or a leg, Wu Dalie can also grow him back.

Although they were all jokes and criticisms, Wu Dalie and Dong Yunju were very useful, laughing and answering.

It's not easy to be a leader. You have to take care of all aspects, but it's true that Wu Zhongyuan is in a good mood. Black Widow offered to share 90% of the profits, so that only one place to drink horses can support the Quartet. The camp consumes a lot of grain and grass, and this trip is not in vain.

After being promoted to Tailing, he has a stronger ability to control himself and everything in the world composed of breath. Take drinking as an example. If Wu Zhongyuan does not control and change, he will drink wine. If he changes with aura, drink it. The only thing is water. To put it bluntly, if you want to get drunk, you will get drunk. If you don't want to get drunk, you will not get drunk. If you want to get drunk, you will get as drunk as you want. In the end, he chose to be only three points drunk.

Then Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to toast Dongyunju. First, Dongyunju led the crowd to vote. As the host, he should have welcomed him. The second is to express appreciation for the fact that Dong Yunju had rushed to be escorted by King Xiong Qin. The third is that Dong Yunju will become a father in two months, so I would like to congratulate him in advance.

Wu Zhongyuan's move belongs to the corporal Li Xian, who is like a fake. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan cares so much about him, he even remembers that his wife was pregnant for a few months. Dong Yunju was so moved that he hurriedly responded. He didn't dare to do this, it was disrespectful, he went down seven or eight bowls, Dong Yunju's face was red and his ears were red, and his tongue was hard.

Seeing that he was incapable of drinking, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Hua Niangzi to send him back.

Dong Yunju thanked her in fear, and staggered to retire in the company of Hua Niangzi.

When Dongyunju and Hua Niangzi left, Wu Zhongyuan took a cup of tea and took a sip, then asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get the news about the Golden Dragon Armor..."
