Luo Mansion, after a banquet, everyone left one after another. Luo Zhang looked at the empty wine barrels and couldn't help curling his lips. These drunkards were so rude that they drank all the highland barley wine he took out. Clean.
Fortunately, it was highland barley wine. If it were Maotai, he would be in pain.
After seeing off the last wave of guests, Luo Zhang came to the study, where Li Yifu was waiting for him.
Seeing Luo Zhang's arrival, Li Yifu immediately bowed and said: "Sir!"
Luo Zhang waved his hand and sat on his chair, looked at Li Yifu and said, "Tell me about the situation!"
After hearing Luo Zhang's inquiry, Li Yifu bowed again and said: "The major families who went to the Ministry of Revenue today... paid taxes totaling 28.32 million taels of silver, but my subordinates discovered something fishy. !”
"With more than 28 million taels of tax, you are really rich. This time, your majesty is extremely rich!!" Luo Zhang curled his lips with envy and jealousy. If he could have so much money, his martial arts skills would be great. All the martial arts that he wants to learn but is reluctant to learn can also be promoted to the Grandmaster realm, not only his current ones!
Grandmaster level martial arts, I'm afraid not many people in the Tang Dynasty have achieved it!
That's not right. Those old guys who hide their secrets must have reached the master level in martial arts. If they have lived for so long and cannot reach the master level in martial arts, then their lives will be in vain.
"By the way, you just said you found something strange. What was it?" Luo Zhang came back to his senses and asked.
"Sir, when I checked the situation, I found that the tax payments of several companies were inconsistent and were much less." Li Yifu said slowly.
"Huh? There are still people who dare to pay less taxes? So bold? Are they not afraid of having their fiefdom taken back by His Majesty?" Luo Zhang asked in surprise.
"These families are really not afraid of His Majesty taking back their fiefdoms." Li Yifu said with a bitter smile.
"Tell me, which family is so tough that they dare to deceive His Majesty and resist the decree!" Luo Zhang also said with interest.
"The Wei family, according to my investigation, they have...a fiefdom and should pay a tax of 1.3 million taels, but they only paid 300,000 taels. The Yuwen family, their family..."
"The last one is the Changsun family. The Changsun family is the family with the most fiefdoms in Chang'an City. According to my investigation, the Changsun family should have paid 2.8 million taels in taxes, but in the end they only paid 800,000 taels. One million taels were not paid," Li Yifu reported.
"The Wei family, the Yuwen family, the Changsun family, these families are really hard-headed, but they have the capital to be hard-headed. I'm afraid Your Majesty will have a headache now, trick me, and let's see how you recover the taxes from these families! Luo Zhang said with a playful smile.
Luo Zhang has been involved too much in the taxation issue. Although these families have a grudge against him, Luo Zhang does not want to intervene immediately. The best policy is to wait and see what happens, and then take action at the critical moment to give his opponent a fatal blow. This is the kingly way. What's the point of being too entangled? It will make you fall into the quagmire. It's better to let His Majesty touch it first. His Majesty's head is harder than his. Even if he touches his head and it bleeds, it will be fine. He will heal on his own. strong ability!
"Sir, what should we do next?" Li Yifu asked.
"Don't do anything, just keep an eye on these families, especially the Changsun family and the Wei family. If they do anything strange, report it to me!" Luo Zhang ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Li Yifu said respectfully.
After Li Yifu left, Mei Niang came in with a bowl of lotus seed soup, placed the lotus seed soup in front of Luo Zhang and said: "Husband, you are so busy just now when you come back, you need to rest more, don't tire yourself out! "
After pregnancy, Mei Niang is completely different from before. Her whole temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the past, Mei Niang exuded a charming atmosphere, but now Mei Niang's charm has not diminished, but it has added a few more. Luo Zhang's heart was filled with excitement when he saw the two together. Unfortunately, Mei Niang had just become pregnant. This was the most important moment. How could he dare to be presumptuous? He could only endure it. Fortunately, he met Chang Le the day before yesterday. Taking a bite secretly relieved his anger. Otherwise, Luo Zhang would have been afraid that he would have gone to the dungeon and killed the Goguryeo woman Hu Luanyao.
It doesn't matter anyway. He will never let this woman go for the rest of his life. In other words, Hu Luanyao is being kept in captivity. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a slave.
It was just more troublesome to explain to Gao Yang afterwards.
Holding Mei Niang in his arms, Luo Zhang touched Mei Niang's belly that was not yet swollen and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied now?"
Mei Niang glared at Luo Zhang and said, "Don't do that stupid thing again. If something happens to you, what will happen to our family?"
Luo Zhang grabbed Mei Niang's little hand and said: "I know, I won't worry you anymore!"
After Wen Cun put Mei Niang to sleep, Luo Zhang came to the study again, took out a stick of corn from a bag and placed it on the table.
"If I eat this corn, I can break through to the ninth level of Qi Sense Realm!" Luo Zhang murmured to himself.
Luo Zhang has never slacked off his cultivation for a day. Even in the prison of the Secret Service, he would eat a stick of corn every day to increase his cultivation. Now it is finally time to break through the ninth level of the Qi Sense Realm. Although there is still some time left before the peak of Qi Sensing Realm, if others know about this progress, they will probably go crazy with jealousy.
You must know that it only took Luo Zhang a few months to go from the Body Tempering Realm to the current eighth level of the Qi Sensing Realm.
In a few months, Luo Zhang had reached such a state. You must know that even if a person with good qualifications wants to practice to Luo Zhang's current state, it will be impossible in a few years or even ten years, so Li Xiaogong secretly thought at that time. Call it a monster, but Li Xiaogong also said that it is easy to break through in the Qi Sensing realm, but it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the True Yuan realm.
This is not to attack Luo Zhang. Although Luo Zhang is a monster, it is different when he reaches the True Yuan Realm. Even if many people break through to the True Yuan Realm, most of them linger on the first and second levels. There are very few who want to break through to the third level. , let alone more than four floors.
Otherwise, how could there be so few worshipers in the palace? You must know that only those who have achieved the fourth level or above are qualified to become royal servants, and most of them are at the fifth level. Only those on the fourth floor who are young and have potential can be recruited into the palace as worshippers. .
Therefore, even though Luo Zhang is a monster, Li Xiaogong is not very optimistic about Luo Zhang's future after the True Yuan Realm, and he only has hope of taking that step.
But what Li Xiaogong didn't know was that Luo Zhang was a man with a cheating device. How he broke through the Qi Sense Realm cultivation level was how he could break through the True Yuan Realm cultivation level, but this time was a bit long, even if Luo Zhang ate the boy's chicken , it would take three days to increase 10% of each level of cultivation. In other words, it would take Luo Zhang one month to break through one level of cultivation, and it would take at least nearly a year to break through to the peak of the True Yuan Realm.
Of course, even if it takes a year, the speed is shocking. You must know that those old guys have been practicing for decades and it is impossible to reach the peak of the True Yuan Realm. However, Luo Zhang can reach it in just one year. This is no longer possible. To describe it as a monster or a freak, it can only be said that Luo Zhang is not a human being, but a god! Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Luo Zhang was able to break through in cultivation so quickly!
If those old guys knew that Luo Zhang was in such a situation, they would probably want to arrest Luo Zhang and study it.
Of course, at that time, Luo Zhang had already become a strong man at the peak of the True Yuan Realm, and those old guys simply couldn't get enough of him!
He didn't think too much about these Luo Zhang. At this time, he was still working hard for the Qi Sensing Realm. The road had to be walked step by step, and the meal had to be eaten one bite at a time. Only by being down-to-earth can it be true.
After eating the corn, Luo Zhang closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
Luo Zhang stayed in the study all night. It was not until daylight that Luo Zhang stretched and stood up.
After a night of practice, Luo Zhang finally broke through to the ninth level of the Qi Sense Realm. At this time, his combat power jumped to another level again.
At this time, if Luo Zhang eats Yangbao, sashimi, spinach, and 82-year-old Lafite, and cooperates with his Luo family's marksmanship, Luo Zhang will have the confidence to fight against, and even kill, a strong man at the fourth level of the True Essence Realm. !
As for Luo Zhang, a strong man at the fifth level of the True Yuan Realm, although he can fight, it may still be a bit difficult! After all, with each additional level, the strength increases geometrically. Luo Zhang is already very impressive for being able to fight against the True Yuan Realm at the ninth level of the Qi Sensing Realm. If he can fight at the fourth level of the True Yuan Realm, even if he tells it, no one will believe it. This is beyond the imagination of these people!
