Not more than a moment.
Prince An and Wang Shouzhe had finished talking about their business. Prince An immediately set up the chessboard with great interest, picked up the black and white pieces, and prepared to kill Wang Shouzhe without leaving a piece of armor behind, and come back for revenge.
Playing chess with Shouzhe has been King An's favorite leisure activity recently, just because his chess skills are so bad, like a rookie, he can fly, but he can't fly high or far.
There are thousands of rookies in the world, and King An has also abused other rookies, but he has never been as comfortable and hearty as the torture of Wang Shouzhe. On the contrary, it is boring and no fun at all.
If you think about it carefully, it can only be attributed to the fact that Shouzhe is too perfect in every aspect, and he always has a perfect plan, which is admirable. No matter how many times you torture a rookie of this level, you will never get tired of it.
Just at this time, a general came to report that Yao Chengchao, who was transported by the Yao family from the Immortal Dynasty, came to visit.
"Please come in, Mr. Yao." Wang Shouzhe said.
After the family general received the order and retreated.
Prince An Jun put down the chess pieces with some wan interest, and said quietly: "Young Master Yao has been coming here very frequently recently. Shouzhe, do you have any plans to develop in the Immortal Dynasty?"
"In the Immortal Dynasty, you have to go and experience it if you have the chance." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "I heard that Qi refining realm has been popularized there. Even an ordinary tenant farmer and the boy serving tea and water have the Qi refining realm. The cultivation of Qi Realm is really fascinating."
When he talked about this, Prince An suddenly became very interested: "When I was young, I also went to the Immortal Dynasty to study. Under the management of the Immortal Court, the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire Immortal Dynasty was extremely high, and the spiritual energy concentration in the entire Immortal Dynasty was extremely high. There are many veins and countless spiritual fields, and the productivity is far beyond what we can compare with. As far as tenant farmers are concerned, one tenant farmer can often contract two to three hundred acres of farmland, and also take care of several acres of low-grade spiritual fields. This way, they can have more money to buy some agricultural land. Low-level bloodline qualification elixirs such as spiritual elixirs."
"This has been passed down from generation to generation, creating a virtuous cycle. Nowadays, the blood purity of the common people in the Immortal Dynasty is no less than that of the unfashionable small Xuanwu families in Daqian."
"If we can achieve this step, the overall national strength will be greatly improved. The Western Jin Dynasty and the Southern Qin Dynasty will not be a problem at all."
Wang Shouzhe also agreed with this: "Our Wang family is now also trying to mass-produce the Qi Ling Dan, and select some outstanding people with close to low-grade qualifications from the common people to upgrade their bloodline. Once they can reach the third or fourth level of Qi Refining Realm, His physique, strength, and speed are far beyond what civilians can match. Especially when it comes to clearing land, doing projects, digging rivers, etc., he is extremely efficient."
However, high efficiency means high cost. It is extremely expensive to train a Qi Refining Realm worker. The cost price of the Qiling Pill alone is hundreds of gold. This is because most of the raw materials are produced by ourselves, as well as the alchemy. When the teacher is his own Wang Shouye.
In addition, workers in the Qi Refining Realm must eat spiritual food to replenish their Qi and blood, and occasionally have Xiao Pei Yuan Dan to assist in cultivation, etc. The annual support and other costs add up to dozens of gold!
Thanks to the fact that the Wang family is quite profitable, otherwise an ordinary family would not be able to afford this...
"If I really have the opportunity to ascend to the throne of God, I will make this my goal throughout my life." While King An yearned for it, he also determined his goal.
"His Royal Highness Mingyuan is so courageous."
At this time, a cheerful voice sounded at the door. I saw a burly "young" man striding into the yard and saying with a smile: "If that day comes, Daqian will be called an 'Immortal Dynasty'."
"Mr. Yao." Prince An and Wang Shouzhe stood up and saluted to greet him.
"You two, please don't try to discredit Yao." Yao Chengchao hurriedly returned the gift, "One of you is a quasi-emperor, and the other is Yao's creditor. You are not worthy of it. You are not worthy of it."
Credit?
King Anjun glanced at Wang Shouzhe and Yao Chengchao, and couldn't help but smile: "The Yao family is a first-class member of the Immortal Dynasty and is extremely powerful. How can he owe Shouzhe money?"
When talking about this matter, Yao Chengchao became a little angry: "Your Highness Mingyuan, after you ascend the throne, you have to take good care of the unhealthy tendencies of Daqian. Your emperor was destroyed because of the "Afterglow Picture of the Divine Dynasty" , actually blackmailed us into four times the compensation in one go, saying that if we didn’t pay, he would order the various families not to sell us the materials to repair the Yunray Flying Boat, so that we would not be able to return home..."
Because of a broken picture, Yao Chengchao's direct loss reached more than 10 million.
Forcibly extorted four times the compensation?
The corners of Prince An's mouth twitched, His Majesty was quite fierce. However, I remember that His Majesty's temper was not like this before. A few years ago, he was still an emperor who paid great attention to majesty and face.
I wonder if it has any adverse effects? Or is it that the older you get, the more shameless you become?
"That's not all, he also forcibly detained the five little wolf cubs that caused the accident." Yao Chengchao was very angry, and then looked at Wang Shouzhe resentfully, "Well, those five little wolf cubs are The one who has become famous recently...the family of brother Shouzhe...His Royal Highness Mingyuan, do you know how much our Yao family has lost in total because of those five little wolf cubs?"
"Uh...hehe, I have heard about this. My condolences, Mr. Yao..." Prince An's mouth twitched, and it took a lot of effort to stop laughing.
He will not sympathize with the Yao family. The Yao family has monopolized the large-scale air freight market by relying on the Yunray Flying Boat. The freight prices are extremely high, and I don’t know how much money they have made.
"The most abominable thing is brother Shouzhe. You clearly know that the five wolf cubs are in the hands of the emperor." Yao Chengchao rolled his eyes in anger, "Why are you still staring at our Yao family for the wolf cubs?" Son?"
"Brother Cheng Chao's words are wrong. Everything must be reasonable, right?" Wang Shouzhe personally brewed a pot of spiritual tea again, handed a cup over and said with a smile, "Those little wolf cubs are our glass Ci entrusted your Yao family to air transport it to our Wang family. But our Wang family did not receive the little wolf cub. If I don’t ask you Yao family to check in the items, who should I ask for it?"
Yao Chengchao took the spirit tea, drank it all, and drank a few more cups. Then he sat down and ate various pastries unceremoniously: "Can't you ask the emperor for it?"
"No, my Wang family has no debt relationship with the emperor." Wang Shouzhe continued to pour him tea, "Also, it is said that His Majesty dislikes me, and if I go to ask for it, he will definitely make things difficult for me."
"Why doesn't he make things difficult for me?" Yao Chengchao's face was full of depression.
It’s not like he didn’t try to ask the Emperor for it, but he was kicked out every time.
"We will discuss this later. Brother Cheng Chao, this is the list I made. I need your help next time we come to work." Wang Shouzhe took out a long list.
Yao Chengchao glanced at it and exclaimed: "You are going to build a spirit gathering array. The scale and specifications are not low... Those who know know that you are a sixth-grade family, and those who don't know think that you are It’s the second grade!”
The size of the spirit gathering formations of second-grade aristocratic families is generally not small, but in the core formation, there is at most a ninth-level spiritual plant or a strange object of the same level. It is fundamentally different from Wang's plan to use a fairy plant as an eye.
"Brother Cheng Chao, please." Wang Shouzhe said with cupped hands.
"Okay, I'll try my best to collect materials for you, but some special materials take time and are difficult to collect at once." Yao Chengchao thought about it and said, "Also, don't talk about things like a little wolf cub anymore. Son, ask the emperor to get it yourself."
"Those are two different things. I have reserved a reasonable profit for Yao from the price of this material." Wang Shouzhe said calmly, "Unless Brother Cheng Chao is willing to remove the profit..."
"Okay, I'd better go find the emperor again." Yao Chengchao put away the list and rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Shouzhe, are you ready for dinner? Those two beautiful cooks of yours, today What delicious food have I made for you?"
"..."
Wang Shouzhe and Prince An.
……
Humble Administrator's Pavilion.
Emperor Longchang was lying lazily.
Besides, Prince Deshun took Lao Yao's place and served him personally, pouring tea and water, tapping his back and legs, and bombarding him with a series of flattery and good words for free.
Serving the emperor comfortably, I sighed that Deshun boy has become filial now and can speak better than when he was young.
It made Lao Yao roll his eyes constantly. Prince Deshun, you are so good at occupying a position that you even take the old eunuch's job? Otherwise, you can simply cut it off and give my old Yao's position to you Deshun?
On the other side, members of the Sancai Department, the Criminal Law Department, and the Supervision Department, headed by Meng Yuanbai, were reporting to the emperor on the investigation results of a series of recent cases.
"So, the Wang family really didn't make a fuss about taxation?" Emperor Longchang's eyes were also slightly surprised.
"Your Highness." Meng Yuanbai replied, "We have used a large number of experienced tax officers and auditors to thoroughly investigate the Wang family's accounts and various assets in the past decades. It was discovered that not only did the Wang family in Changning not evade taxes, but they were actually richer in terms of tax amount."
"In addition, the Wang family often spends huge sums of money to build water conservancy, official roads and other facilities in Changning Guard and even Nanliu Guard."
"Your Majesty, the Wang family of Changning is really a role model for the aristocratic family." Prince Deshun patted the Emperor's back and said calumniatively, "I think the Wang family should be commended to encourage other aristocratic families to follow suit."
Although it was slander, Emperor Longchang also felt that it was quite reasonable. He nodded and said: "We should indeed commend him generously. We will draft a decree later to commend Wang Shouzhe and allow him to participate in the next imperial meeting."
When it comes to Wang Shouzhe, Emperor Longchang really has complicated emotions that are hard to describe. He longs to meet him from the bottom of his heart, but because of his bold words, he can't persuade him to summon him.
What's even more disgusting is that the guy ignored his hints several times...
As the incident developed, Emperor Longchang's curiosity about Wang Shouzhe became uncontrollable, so he simply allowed him to participate in the imperial meeting with the intention of commending him. Even if it does not violate his bold statement not to summon him, he can also meet Wang Shouzhe at the court meeting.
Look how smart he is, he can do something earth-shattering at every turn.
"Your Majesty, the only doubt about the Wang family is that they have extremely strong demand for iron ore." Meng Yuanbai added, "Although every one of their accounts clearly shows where the iron was used. But inside the house, inside the road bed, inside the city wall pass... we shouldn't go and check it, right?"
It was precisely because of this suspicion about Wang that the tax inspectors were attracted. When they noticed the "smuggling" strangeness, they suddenly had a "sudden realization" and concluded that Wang was the smuggler behind the scenes.
"I will personally ask Wang Shouzhe about this at the court meeting." Emperor Longchang made the final decision and then asked, "Has the Zhao Zhikun smuggling case been completely investigated? Has anyone else been implicated, such as the Zhao family, or... Chengsi..."
"Your Majesty, all the current witnesses, physical evidence and circumstantial evidence can only prove that they are related to Zhao Zhikun and the missing Zhao Kui. There is no evidence to prove that Zhao is involved, and there is no evidence to prove that His Highness Chengsi is involved. ." Meng Yuanbai said matter-of-factly.
Things have developed to such an extent that the only thing Meng Yuanbai and the others can do is to say "do business impartially and impartially", so that they will not make mistakes.
"Your Majesty, although there is no evidence, it does not mean that he was not involved, right?" Prince Deshun began to admonish again, "I heard that Prince Kang has rushed back from the battlefield outside the territory, why not let Meng Yuanbai interrogate him? Fan?"
"How can we go to trial without any evidence? Just based on the rumors spread by your people like Prince An?" Emperor Longchang rolled his eyes at him angrily, "Although I am old, I am not confused yet. . Go back and tell your people to stop. This farce of throwing dirty water at each other can stop."
"Yes, yes, yes." Prince Deshun looked resigned.
"That being the case, Meng Aiqing still has to help Chengsi prove his innocence and quell the rumors. After all, Chengsi is the quasi-emperor, so it won't sound good if this quarrel continues." Emperor Longchang waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Yuanbai and others retreated.
……
After that.
With the return of King Kang, the Sancai Department, the Criminal Law Department, and the Supervision Department were ordered to assist him in quelling the "rumors." Those rumors that were once unfavorable to King Kang quickly died down in a short period of time.
Instead, people began to criticize Zhao Zhikun again.
What is it that Zhao Zhikun himself smuggled and collaborated with the enemy in order to pay off his gambling debts? After being caught, he still refused to repent and tried to trick His Highness Prince Kang to reduce his crime, cover up the ugliness of the Zhao family, and confuse the masses. their audiovisual.
Thankfully, after the results of the three-party trial were announced, His Royal Highness Prince Kang personally gave a speech and proved his innocence with a tearful and impassioned speech.
It turns out that His Royal Highness King Kangjun has been fighting **** battles on battlefields outside the territory, bravely killing enemies, defending mankind from foreign enemies, and bringing glory to Daqian. However, he was held back by his teammates in the rear, and had to suspend the war that was about to be won and return. Go to the capital to wash away your grievances.
For a time, names such as "the wronged King of Xuekang County", "the war **** Wu Chengsi on the battlefield", "the model of great heroes", etc. began to spread quickly in Guilong City.
When it comes to "Loyal to the King and Patriotic King Kang", everyone gives a thumbs up and praises him endlessly.
For a time, Prince Kang's reputation soared.
Unfortunately, Prince Kang, who was happy that the suspicion had been cleared, unexpectedly stepped into the trap.
