Chapter 694 The Way to Be a King

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

"We inadvertently got some clues, which are probably 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. No one else knew about it, and Wu Dalie shouldn't know about it either.

"Exactly," Wu Dalie stretched his right hand forward, indicating that he was walking. When Wu Zhongyuan took steps, Wu Dalie followed him and whispered, "The golden dragon armor was originally the armor worn by the Emperor Fuxi. It is said to be made of golden dragon scales and is extremely hard. It's very miraculous. This magical armor disappeared after Fu Xi leveled the Six Paths. This time we got some clues by chance. If we can follow the clues to find the Golden Dragon Armor, it will also add a lot of help to the Holy Lord in his battle against the Five Paths."

Wu Zhongyuan did not answer, but just nodded. It was evening, and there were many pedestrians on the street. It was not appropriate to discuss such important matters in the street.

Wu Dalie may have had the same idea, and did not continue to talk. Instead, he took Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Qing to the city lord's mansion. While walking, he reported to Wu Zhongyuan the business situation of Yinma River in the past six months. In the early years of Donghai, The Western Desert, Northern Xinjiang, and Southern Wasteland each had a larger exchange market, namely Qingxu, Lianshankuang, Yinmahe and Goat Valley. Later, Qingxu was destroyed by the Bird Clan, and Lianshankuang was destroyed by the Niu Clan. It was wiped out, so only Yinma River and Goat Valley are left. Goat Valley is still prosperous, but the life is best in Yinma River. At present, except for the exchange business in Southern Wilderness, which is still going on in Goat Valley, the rest of the things Most of the trade in the northern three sides, including the Central Plains, is carried out in the Yinma River. In the past six months, the development of the Yinma River can only be described as prosperous, with daily profits including metals, salt, grain, cloth, and livestock. Various living and strategic materials have been accumulated in large quantities.

The city where Yinma River is located originally belonged to Daze, and the city lord of Daze is now Wu Qin. Before that, Wu Zhongyuan had agreed with Wu Qin that part of the income from Yinma River should be given to him, but Wu Qin did not Instead of withholding it, all the tribute was paid to the court. At present, the taxes from Yinma River alone can support two large camps of ten thousand people.

In addition to accumulating a large amount of wealth, Yinmahe also made another huge contribution in the past six months, which was the circulation of currency cast by the imperial court. Since Goat Valley also recognized this shell-shaped copper currency, at this time The currency issued by the imperial court has been generally accepted both inside and outside the Central Plains, and its purchasing power has been solidified.

Wu Zhongyuan came back from Xinyue Island not long ago. Before that, the memorials in each city were approved by Liu Bu. What Wu Dalie said had been reported to Youxiong through memorials before. However, Wu Zhongyuan did not see those memorials and only listened to Liu Bu. Briefly mentioned, I was very pleased to hear Wu Dalie's detailed report this time. The universal currency is a sign of the stability of a regime. This is also the reason why Qin Shihuang immediately unified the currency after unifying the six countries. The greatest significance of currency currency is that the court can firmly Controlling the lifeline of the national economy, because the imperial court has the power to create money, it can issue currency to borrow the wealth of the people at critical moments.

While the two were talking, they arrived at the city lord's mansion.

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 coming. This time she came out to see off the guests. The guests were two middle-aged men wearing sheep fur. It should be two Horse dealer.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan, Black Widow was very surprised. She hurriedly greeted Wu Zhongyuan and Wu Qing. After the greetings, they congratulated him one after another. One congratulated him for becoming a Tailing, the other congratulated him for quelling the rebellion, and the third congratulated him for passing the artifact Hunyuan. Ding obtained a large number of heavenly elixirs.

The reason why the Black Widow knew about the elixir was because Wu Zhongyuan had previously issued a decree to inform all the cities of the city of the results of each elixir. Although the Yinma River where the Black Widow was located was a city, it was a special economic zone, and there were also direct contacts with the elixir. The power of the imperial court.

After welcoming the two of them into the house, the black widow ordered people to organize the banquet. Seeing that she might not be able to leave today, Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wu Qing. Seeing a trace of regret in Wu Qing's eyes, he knew that she wanted to return to her parents' home early. Although Wu Qin went to Youxiong to see her before, Wu Qing's mother did not go with her. She had not seen her mother for more than half a year.

Yinmahe is a city under the jurisdiction of Daze, very close to Daze. After a brief pause, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Wu Dali 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, Black Widow invited Wu Zhongyuan into the main hall, presented him to the throne, and then got straight to the point. Due to the strong support of the imperial court, the development of Yinma River was changing with each passing day. The previously agreed tax standards were very important to Yinma River. It was too generous in itself, and the court was at a critical juncture for money. Black Widow decided to change the tax ratio, turning over 90% to the court and keeping 10% for herself.

Wu Zhongyuan did not expect Black Widow to have such a high level of consciousness, so he refused repeatedly but refused. Later, seeing that Black Widow had made up her mind and repeatedly expressed her loyalty, he agreed to her suggestion.

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 the ways of doing business. She knows that if she wants to make her business bigger, she must obtain official support. With official help, she can get huge help and even... policy support. However, the scale of cooperation with the government must be carefully measured. You can never be on an equal footing with the government, otherwise you will invite disaster for yourself.

As an official, Wu Zhongyuan also has the need to cooperate with businessmen. Many principles are the same 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 official promotion and assessment. Without economic development, there will be no money, and no money. There is no way to improve people's living standards.

There is a derogatory term called collusion between government and business. In fact, this is only said by ignorant people, because there is no problem of collusion between government and business. The relationship between government and business is inherently very close. The bigger a company becomes, the higher the level of officials it comes into contact with. high.

Black Widow is a Taixuan cultivator, and Dongyunju of Taiping Village is also a Taixuan cultivator. Worried that Black Widow would not be able to take over Dongyunju, Wu Zhongyuan asked about Dongyunju's situation in Yinma River, and Black Widow also knew him. He knows that Dongyunju is not a good person, so he gives him the business of gambling stalls and brothels. Dongyunju and Liu Chan are just the same thing, with no ambitions. They are happy here and don't miss Shu.

For this kind of gray industry, Wu Zhongyuan is quite repulsive in his heart. It is always associated with harboring evil and people and people. But even Huangdi cannot always do what he wants to do. People like Dongyunju will not be included if they are not included in the industry. , if he continues to stay in Southern Wilderness, after the seal disappears, he must be a traitor leader.

As for the gray industry in Yinma River, there is nothing you can do about it. As the Yellow Emperor, you must have a strong heart. You must not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, let alone moral obsessiveness. Even in modern times, gambling and pornography are legal in Macao and Hong Kong. These are Special phenomena in special regions at special times do not mean that the entire country is like this.

The banquet was ready, Wu Dalie and Hua Niangzi happened to be back. After Wu Zhongyuan considered it, he sent someone to call Dongyun Ju. Although he didn't like this person, he couldn't deny that this person had taken objective actions to reform. The reason why he was an objective action It's not because of the manager's idea, but because Dongyunju can't change at all and doesn't want to change. Everything he does is done for him to see, but it's fine if he can pretend.

Dong Yunju had already received the news and knew that Wu Zhongyuan was coming. He had been waiting at home for a long time. After being invited, he was greeted and thanked again.

Wu Zhongyuan was also very polite to Dongyunju for two reasons. One was that the four insects had previously transformed into golden bodies and rebelled against him, so Dongyunju even ran over to King Qin to escort him, which was really rare. Second, Dong Yunju led his people to move north, which is a sign of leaving home. He is inherently sensitive and thinks that he is under the protection of others. He must treat his relatives and friends who come to seek refuge with him warmly and must not let them feel that they have been treated coldly, otherwise it will be very chilling.

The banquet was sumptuous but not extravagant. Chinese people like to talk about things at the banquet table. This habit has existed since ancient times. There are also many rules for banquets. Black Widow and others toasted to Wu Zhongyuan one by one. They had to say something when toasting. What should be said? Tell your boss how you will do your work in the future.

After that, Wu Zhongyuan responded and had to say something, just his expectations and requirements.

After the toasts were done individually, the toasts were made in groups. Black Widow and Wu Dalie toasted together. The toast was to reassure Wu Zhongyuan that the two of them worked together very happily.

Wu Zhongyuan said that Yinma River is dominated by black widows, and Wu Dali is a laid-back person, so he can just be a helper to the black widows together with Hua Niangzi.

Although Wu Zhongyuan said this, Wu Dali was very satisfied. There was nothing more gratifying than the fact that Huangdi was not far away from him. And Hua Niangzi was also in a good mood, because Wu Zhongyuan did not ignore her existence.

Afterwards, Black Widow and Hua Niangzi toasted together, thanking Wu Zhongyuan for his shelter and entrusting him with such an important task, while Wu Zhongyuan thanked Yinmahe for his previous generosity and selfless gifts. People who are prosperous must not forget how others treat them when they are in trouble. Help given.

After that, Wu Darie and Hua Niangzi toasted together, reassuring Wu Zhongyuan that the two of them would be Black Widow's deputies. Wu Zhongyuan didn't say much this time, but just nodded in relief.

When Dong Yun Ju arrived for the first time, he was acquainted with everyone. Wu Zhongyuan took the initiative to respect him and Wu Dali. He only said that Dong Yun Ju did bad things, did bad business, and had many enemies. He must do well with Wu Dali in the future. Relationship, Wu Dalie likes to gamble, so when he goes to gambling stalls to make money, he must win some money. If one day he loses an arm or a leg, Wu Dalie can grow it back for him.

Although they were all jokes and there were many criticisms, Wu Dalie and Dong Yunju took advantage of them. They laughed and responded repeatedly. As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of the leader scolding, you are afraid of the leader praising you. The more criticism, the better the relationship.

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. In this way, just one Yinma River can support a large number of people in the Sifang Camp. Food and grass were consumed, so this trip was not in vain.

After being promoted to Tai Ling, he has a stronger ability to control himself and all things in the world composed of breath. Take drinking as an example. If Wu Zhongyuan does not control and change, what he drinks is wine. If he changes it with spiritual energy, what he drinks is water. , to put it bluntly, he can get drunk if he wants to, and if he doesn’t want to get drunk, he can get as drunk as he wants. In the end, he chose to get only three points drunk. He couldn’t be incompatible with the people below, but he couldn’t lose his temper when he was drunk.

Wu Zhongyuan then took the initiative to propose a toast to Dongyunju. First, Dongyunju led the crowd to vote. As the master, he should welcome him. The second is to express appreciation for Dong Yunju's previous rush to have King Xiong Qin escort him. Third, Dong Yunju is going to be a father in two months, so I would like to express my congratulations to him in advance.

Wu Zhongyuan's move was a genuine courtesy. Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan cared so much about him and even remembered how many months into his wife's pregnancy, Dongyun Ju was very moved and hurriedly responded. Wu Zhongyuan could use spiritual energy to resolve the alcohol odor, but they did not dare to do so. Doing it seems disrespectful. After seven or eight bowls of it, Dongyunju’s face turned red, his ears turned red, and his tongue became stiff.

Seeing that he was too drunk, Wu Zhongyuan ordered Lady Hua to send him back.

Dong Yunju panicked and thanked her, then staggered away accompanied by Lady Hua.

After Dong Yunju and Lady Hua left, Wu Zhongyuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get the news about the Golden Dragon Armor..."
