"How many?"
Zhao Chongyuan asked subconsciously.
Xu Tiande on the side also raised his head curiously.
Queen Ma was even more looking forward to it.
"Your Majesty, a total of six thousand eight hundred taels!"
"What?"
"so much?"
"All sold out?"
Listen to what Wang Lishi said.
Zhao Chongyuan, Xu Tiande, and Queen Ma were all a little confused.
Wang Lishi followed Zhao Chongyuan's instructions and found a place to sell the fine wine and jade dew obtained from Zhao Ding.
It's not that they don't know about this.
But they never expected that they would be sold out in one day?
“Not only is it sold out, but people who have paid a deposit to make an appointment are already waiting for three months.
Including the 30% deposit of the advance payment and today's profit, that's 30,560 taels. "
The more Wang Lishi talked, the more excited he became. He clasped his fingers and looked at Zhao Chongyuan with excitement on his face: "Your Majesty, if we sell all these fine wines and jade dews, the revenue from this item alone will be 668,000 taels of silver."
Boom!
Zhao Chongyuan trembled in his heart.
As the emperor of Daqian, it's not that he has never seen a lot of money, but the money came too fast!
Six hundred and sixty thousand taels is the annual tax revenue of a medium-sized city!
The total tax revenue for the entire Daqian year is only 24 million taels, which also includes various collected grains.
And now he actually made 660,000 taels in one day?
"Your Majesty, this is a money grab."
Xu Tiande murmured to himself.
"Now I understand why Ding'er's Youzhou can develop so fast."
Empress Ma subconsciously held the table and sat down slowly, her eyes blank.
It’s not that they are poor, it’s that they didn’t find the right method.
"Hercules, hurry up and sell all the things I brought back from Youzhou this time, except for some celestial eyepieces and clocks that are necessary for Tiande's military."
Zhao Chongyuan's voice trembled and he quickly ordered.
Originally, he planned to keep the perfume and soap as rewards for the harem.
But now it seems.
It's a complete waste of natural resources.
Money is so easy to earn, why not use it to make money?
With all this money, why should he worry about the emptiness of Daqian's treasury?
At the same time, Zhao Chongyuan also felt a little angry in his heart.
These princes and nobles cried out every day that they had no money. Every time Zhao Chongyuan wanted to collect some money from these princes and nobles to help the people, these princes and nobles would always excuse themselves by saying that they had no money at home and that the house had to spend a year on various expenses. The salary is not enough.
Is this moneyless?
I'm reluctant to take it out.
"Tiande, please pack up. After Lux sells these things, collect the money back, and let's go to Youzhou again."
After coming back to his senses, Zhao Chongyuan quickly gave instructions to Xu Tiande.
He went to Youzhou this time not only for these goods, but also to see how many tricks Zhao Ding had hidden for him.
"If you want to issue an edict, should you inform His Highness King Yan first?"
Xu Tiande asked subconsciously.
Zhao Chongyuan laughed and scolded: "You're not telling me, what's the truth in that kid's mouth? How hard has it been to hide it from us all these years? I'm not afraid of your jokes. In addition to giving me memorials and complaining, this kid Zhao Ding has also I bribed the person in charge of Youzhou’s taxation at the Ministry of Household Affairs, otherwise you think I wouldn’t have known about Youzhou’s situation for so many years?”
The more things Zhao Ding did, the more angry Zhao Chongyuan became.
damn thing.
Even his father hid it!
Xu Tiande smacked his lips.
Fortunately, Zhao Ding met such a talkative father as Zhao Chongyuan.
If it were the late emperor.
Ten heads are not enough to chop off.
at the same time.
Youzhou.
In the palace of Prince Yan.
Zhao Fang walked towards the underground of Prince Yan's Mansion.
As a vassal king of a fiefdom, especially a vassal king like Youzhou that is close to the border of an enemy country.
In addition to managing the fiefdom.
There are also many various temptations to deal with enemy countries.
For example, not long ago, he took advantage of the darkness to attack Youzhou.
Entering the dungeon, a sour smell hit your face.
All kinds of cries of ghosts and howls of wolves are even more constant.
"Your Majesty."
Not long after Zhao Ding entered the underground dungeon of Prince Yan's Mansion, a man dressed as a jailer came over, holding a blood-stained whip in his hand.
Behind him was a big man hanging on a shelf, covered in blood.
At this moment, I saw Zhao Ding coming over.
The big man immediately raised his head, looked at Zhao Ding and spat.
Pooh!
A mouthful of old phlegm mixed with blood was spat towards Zhao Ding.
Zhao Ding shook his head slightly and avoided it easily.
"Hey, you bastard, you're looking for death!"
Seeing this, the jailer also jumped, and quickly picked up the whip and was about to hit the big man.
"You've been caught. It's normal to feel resentful."
Zhao Ding waved his hand and saw the jailer next to him bringing in a stool.
Zhao Ding sat down on it, picked up the cleaned fruit next to him, and took a bite.
He raised his head and looked at the big man with a smile: "Tell me, where are you from, Nanchen or Beiliang? Tell me and let me know."
"Pooh!"
The big man opened his mouth to spit again, but before he could speak.
The jailer next to Zhao Ding punched him.
Several teeth mixed with blood fell out of the big man's mouth.
"Tough? I like tough people."
Zhao Ding smiled, "I'll pull out his teeth one by one, and add some salt brine. Remember to pour one into his mouth for easy disinfection. Do you understand?"
"clear."
The jailer laughed evilly, reached out and took out a red-hot vise from the stove next to him, and slowly walked towards the big man.
"ah!"
A shrill scream.
resounded in this dungeon.
The jailer struck hard and decisively.
The moment the red-hot vise was inserted into the big man's mouth, a tooth was ripped out.
Although the big man screamed miserably, he took out the salt brine that had been prepared and poured it directly into the big man's mouth.
Suddenly, a more terrifying pain arose in the big man's mouth.
Watch this scene.
There was no wave in Zhao Ding's eyes.
This is a chaotic time where countries are fighting, not the peaceful era of the previous life.
Especially since he was in a place like Youzhou where the Three War was fought.
If a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand firm.
"continue."
Seeing that the big man's pain seemed to have subsided slightly and his expression was somewhat calm, Zhao Ding continued to speak calmly.
"yes!"
The jailer shouted in response and continued to step forward.
He directly opened the big man's mouth that had been blistered, picked up another red-hot vise and went in again, and once again pulled out one of the big man's teeth.
"ah!"
The shrill screams sounded again.
The underground prison, which had been filled with howling ghosts and ghosts, suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Zhao Ding with horrified expressions.
Looking at this man who is supported by the people of Youzhou outside, but is like a devil in their eyes.
"I said..."
The severe pain had already made the big man lose his previous strength, and he looked at Zhao Ding in horror.
"It's okay, continue."
Zhao Ding didn't even look at it, and waved his hand, indicating to the jailer to continue.
"ah!"
Another scream sounded in the dungeon.
Each time, a pair of freshly heated vise was used, and after picking out the teeth, salt brine was poured into the big man's mouth.
The so-called salt brine is actually the marinade used by people in Youzhou to pickle pickles at home.
There are no other benefits to this thing.
The only good thing is that there is a lot of salt in it.
If the wound touches you.
The taste is absolutely sour and refreshing.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. I have no choice but to let you know how to cherish it."
Zhao Ding said with a smile.
But in the eyes of the big man, this smile was nothing short of a devil.
"I said...I said..."
The big man spoke with difficulty.
The salt in the salt brine in his mouth mixed with the wound, causing him to tremble uncontrollably in pain.
"Have you thought about it?"
Zhao Ding raised his head and glanced at the big man.
"Think about it, think about it."
The big man endured the severe pain and stammered as he looked at Zhao Ding.
Then, without waiting for Zhao Ding, the big man quickly replied: "Wen Liang, Nan Chen's Wen Liang?"
"he?"
Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows.
Nanchen is different from Daqian.
Daqian used vassal kings to guard the border, and Nanchen used guard generals to guard the border.
Wen Liang was the guard of Nanchen.
When Zhao Dinggang came to Youzhou, Wen Liang was not Nanchen's guard. Later, after Nanchen's guard was shot into a sieve by him, the guard was replaced by Wen Liang.
"Wen Liang wanted to get His Highness's Shenwu cannon and the method of making His Highness's continuous crossbow. Moreover, he also knew that the villain was originally from Youzhou and later fled to Nanchen, so he sent the villain back to Youzhou..."
The big man endured the severe pain and spoke vaguely.
"Are you from Youzhou?"
Zhao Ding raised his eyebrows.
"The Qian family in Youzhou."
The big man replied.
"The Qian family?"
Zhao Ding sneered, "I told you where you guys went, but I didn't expect you to escape to Nanchen."
After hearing what Zhao Ding said, the big man suddenly stopped talking.
The Youzhou Qian family was originally the largest family in Youzhou, with tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, and could be called a local emperor in Youzhou.
Even the local government in Youzhou can't do anything to them.
There has always been a saying in the mouths of the people in Youzhou: the iron-clad Qian family and the flowing county governor.
This Qian family is their Qian family.
But everything has changed since Zhao Ding arrived.
All the things that the Qian family had done in Youzhou over the years were uncovered. The evil slaves raised in the mansion died at the hands of the defenders of Prince Zhao Dingyan's mansion without even being able to withstand a single volley.
The head of the family was even dragged to Prince Yan's Mansion by Zhao Ding.
In front of all the people in Youzhou, he chopped it down directly to set an example.
Without the Qian family and the help of those evil slaves, the descendants of the Qian family naturally did not dare to stay in Youzhou and ran away. And he fled to Nanchen.
Look at the big man in front of you.
Zhao Ding smiled.
But this smile made the big man feel an inexplicable chill in his heart.
He cried and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, I was wrong. Please spare me once. I will never dare to do it again."
"I'll spare you this one time. Who can spare the lives of those people whose families have been tortured by your Qian family?"
Zhao Ding sneered, then clapped his hands, turned and walked outside, telling the jailer behind him: "According to the old rules, cut off the hands and feet, make them into human pigs, and hang them on the city wall."
"Your Highness..."
After hearing what Zhao Qian said, the big man shouted even more sternly.
However, Zhao Qian walked outside without looking back.
The shrill screams sounded in the dungeon again.
A long while passed.
The exit of the secret passage connecting Prince Yan's Mansion to the outside of the city.
An object with no human shape covered in blood was slowly hung on the top of the city.
And with this figure, covered in blood and no longer recognizable as a human figure, hanging on the top of the city.
