Mo Xiao turned to look at Wang Dahu.
But at this moment, a palm force passed by his side, and Mo Xiao suddenly broke into a cold sweat, secretly thinking that it was not good.
A red shadow passed quickly behind him, and when he was stunned, the Taoist priest actually detained Wang Xiang'er in red!
"let me go!"
Wang Xiang'er in red kept struggling, but the Taoist priest's big hand held her tightly and she couldn't break away at all.
"Xiang'er!"
Wang Dahu shouted anxiously, his previous calmness had long since disappeared.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, I won't kill her. It's up to you to tell me the cause of this matter."
"Let me tell you."
At this moment, another person came into the house.
"City Lord!"
When Wang Dahu saw the visitor, he immediately bowed his head and saluted.
"Zhao Yuchun!"
Mo Xiao's face was filled with frost, as if he was about to commit murder in the next moment.
The person who came was none other than Kunzhou City Lord, Zhao Yuchun.
Zhao Yuchun's face was like a flat lake, and even though Mo Xiao's murderous intention was revealed, he remained unmoved.
"Master Dao, we meet again."
The Taoist priest smiled knowingly.
"Who I thought had such a powerful sword power turned out to be the Sword Master of the Sword Sect. That's no wonder."
"You still have the nerve to come."
Mo Xiao gritted his teeth and his face turned red.
Zhao Yuchun exhaled, put his hands behind his back, and waved.
"Swish swish!"
Eight figures broke through the window and surrounded everyone in the house.
But I saw that each of these eight people had extraordinary momentum and deep internal strength. They were all top-notch experts at the Kuofu level.
Mo Xiao glanced at the eight people with a heavy expression.
"Head of the eight major sects in the south of the Yangtze River!"
"Hahahaha, Master Dao didn't expect that the Dao Sect, which has suppressed Jiangnan for thousands of years, would be in today's situation."
Among the eight people, there was an old man in his fifties, holding a meteor hammer and looking at Mo Xiao fiercely. It was obvious that he had already had an opinion about Daomen.
There are wolves in front of us and tigers behind us. Today is really a dangerous day.
"Pah! Pah"
Zhao Yuchun clapped his hands, and the eight people calmed down.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yuchun was quite satisfied and took a step forward without any scruples.
"Before you die, I want you to be a wise man."
"This matter must have started ten years ago. Back then, before I took office as the city lord of Kunzhou, I heard about the then city lord running away, so I specially brought people and horses to intercept them halfway."
"Can they spend all that money?"
Wen Nuan was very angry. As the lord of a city, he didn't want to make a living for the people, but even wanted to take away all the money and food in the city.
Zhao Yuchun smiled slightly. Naturally, the little girl didn't understand this kind of thing.
"There is no limit to human greed. The position of city lord is usually hereditary. Therefore, the matter of changing the city lord is unusual. The city lord must have committed something and was found out by the court. I came to The first thing Ren does is to search the City Lord’s Mansion.”
"I originally planned to ambush him on the road, but I didn't expect that he actually colluded with the bandits. The bandits had already noticed that I sent people to ambush him."
"Our people were trapped in the mountains and forests. We broke through several times and the guards protected me and escaped alone. However, those people naturally refused to let me go. I hid in the mountains for several days."
"I thought I was going to be buried in a barren mountain, but I didn't expect to meet Brother Wang who was studying in the mountains. Brother Wang asked me to put on his clothes and lure the bandits away, allowing me to escape down the mountain."
The Taoist priest turned to look at Wang Dahu, a little surprised.
"Mr. Wang, I'm really curious about how you survived the bandits."
Wang Dahu said calmly
"What's so strange? The bandits are just brave and reckless. I just analyzed the current situation for them. In any case, the new city lord escaped down the mountain. No matter whether they kill me or not, they can't escape the new city lord's subsequent reckoning. Everything else has been slowed down, but since it threatens the life of the city lord, it is natural to use all our strength to eliminate the bandits."
"There are two ways, one is to escape and build another mountain, but this is not easy. It will take a lot of time and effort to rebuild the mountain. Decades of business will be ruined in one day."
"Second General, the old city lord has been tied up and given a petition. I can make peace with them. The city lord can turn a blind eye and allow them to continue to exist, as long as he doesn't go too far."
The Taoist priest glanced at Zhao Yunchun and said
"You really don't have any brains. As long as you think about it for a moment, you can figure out that no matter what, the new city lord will never let them go."
Zhao Yuchun remained silent, and Wang Dahu did not continue to speak. Thinking about it, the bandits must have been eliminated afterwards.
Later, Zhao Yuchun continued to say
"The old city lord was caught, and most of the food was found, but only part of the money was found. Most of it was taken away by the bosses."
"Kunzhou City has become a mess. Small traders have lost half their life savings. Farmers have sold the grain they worked so hard to grow without getting any return."
"At that time, Brother Wang and I only had a batch of money and a large amount of grain. We could have distributed these evenly to the people."
"But firstly, all the banknotes in the hands of small merchants will be turned into waste paper. If they are divided equally, it may cause disputes among the people and even turn into turmoil. Secondly, there is simply not enough money to take care of everyone."
"Brother Wang came up with a solution. He believed that all those banks and grain stores were abandoned. Even if all the money and grain in our hands were divided, the streets would not be able to return to what they were before."
"The most important thing is to make this city operational again. He collected all the abandoned banks and grain stores and recycled the banknotes at 30% of the price. First, the merchants had money again, so that the shops could reopen."
"Then, on the one hand, some of the grain will be taken out and given to the people who are struggling to survive. On the other hand, most of the grain will be put back into the market through grain stores. This way, people who still have some money in their hands can have their money circulate again. stand up."
"But these are obviously far from enough. Most people still have no money. The banks have only allowed the small traders to recover some losses. Most farmers have no food and no money, and can only rely on relief to survive."
"At this time, another method was needed. At this time, because only 30% of the money was used to recover the banknotes, and the business of the grain store was very good, we quickly gathered a large amount of money."
"This money cannot be distributed equally to the people directly, because all equal distribution will cause unnecessary disputes. After all, there will always be people who feel that they should not receive the same share as others, and it will also encourage the laziness of some people, leading to urban further depression.”
"But fortunately, we have completely established the image of Wang Dahu. Just think about what a big family should do. Naturally, they want to enjoy and squander."
"It takes money to build Mirror Lake, and it takes money to maintain Mirror Lake, and it also takes people. It takes money to build the inner courtyard, and it also takes people. Brother Wang can spend as much as he wants to provide jobs for the poor people in the city."
"But it's not enough. How many more jobs can a lake and a yard add? So, Brother Wang proposed a new plan."
"We can't directly tell the people that we have all the money here and give it to you. That would cause big problems. Therefore, we need an excuse to reasonably dump these properties and let them circulate on the market more naturally."
"This is a bit like the human emperor's approach of amnesty to the world. There is always a reasonable excuse, and the excuse given by Brother Wang is to cure the disease."
"Treat your daughter. Brother Wang's daughter is naturally not sick. This is just an excuse. The plan is like this. First, invite the best doctor in the city to treat Miss Wang."
"Of course they couldn't cure a person who was not sick, so Brother Wang began to look for other means, such as eminent monks and Taoist priests."
"I have found a candidate for Brother Wang. The Taoist Priest only needs to show off, and then tell Brother Wang in front of the people that if he wants to have the heart to help the world, knowledgeable people will come to help him. .”
"In this way, Brother Wang will naturally use every call for medical treatment to distribute property to the people, and will not cause any disputes. After all, this is not income from work, but a simple act of charity. No one will feel bad about it. Resentment."
"But the country's finances are based on the circulation of gold and silver, and gold and silver are both rare items. Those merchants took away a large amount of gold and silver back then. Without additional gold and silver output, the gold and silver circulating in the city has always been so. many."
"Each state and city is financially independent of each other. It is unrealistic to borrow large amounts of gold and silver from other states and cities. Therefore, we have been trying hard to maintain the operation of the city."
"Kunzhou is not a big city in the south of the Yangtze River. There are too few foreign merchants coming and going. It is really difficult to increase the total reserves of gold and silver through small-scale trade."
"However, the destruction of Taiyang City has given us a new opportunity. The Eighteen States are allied under the leader of the alliance. Once the leader takes control of Penglai, it will be necessary to redraw the territory and the eighteen states will divide the world. At that time, we can re-divide the world. At that time, it acquired a large amount of gold and silver land, completely changing the decline of Kunzhou!"
"Of course, the premise of all this is that you must have enough merit to gain enough advantages when dividing the world."
"If at this time, we can bring back the Jianghu forces in Jiangnan and gather them under the leadership of the alliance leader, it will be a great achievement."
"Ha ha ha ha."
The Taoist priest laughed, and then his eyes flashed fiercely.
"I understand. To recruit the Dao Sect and unify the martial arts in Jiangnan, the alliance leader will definitely give you a high look. Of course, if you can't surrender, just destroy it, and the martial arts will automatically surrender."
"Although this step was risky and resulted in a deadly feud, it did give Kunzhou a hope."
Zhao Yuchun looked directly at the Taoist priest
"It's just that the Taoist priest intervened in our plan from the very beginning. Xiang'er, who was not sick, was really sick."
"The Taoist Master really made a fool of all of us."
The Taoist grinned and kept smiling, holding the card Wang Xiang'er in his hand. He was the least anxious person in the whole room.
Wang Dahu is naturally the most anxious. He is anxious not only about Wang Xiang'er's safety, but also about what the Taoist priest said before.
With a sullen face, he stepped forward and asked:
"You said Xiang'er is not my daughter. What's going on? My wife was born to me in ten months of pregnancy. How can she not be my daughter?"
The Taoist priest just laughed and didn't reply to him at all.
"boom!"
Mo Xiao couldn't help it anymore, he slashed down with his sword, and the transparent sword energy came out, and then the sword energy actually split into three, and went straight towards the Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest's expression suddenly changed. He was still a foot or two away from Mo Xiao, but the sword energy did not dissipate at all.
"Grand Master! It turns out you have been suppressing your inner strength."
He exclaimed in a low voice that he had underestimated Mo Xiao before, but he had already entered the realm of a great master!
"Wow!"
The majestic sword energy destroyed all the windows, and the inner strength of the Grand Master level was released without any scruples.
"howl!"
Mo Xiao had been holding his breath for several days, and now he could finally let out a loud howl.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
The zhenqi that filled the surroundings actually exploded like a series of firecrackers as he howled!
The eight masters in the room were blown out as their true energy exploded.
The three sword auras were about to tear the Taoist priest into pieces. The Taoist priest laughed evilly and actually blocked Wang Xiang'er in red in front of him, using him as a human shield.
"Brother Mo!"
Nuan Nuan screamed when he saw this!
