Chapter 409 Emperor Zun Pavilion, Tianyun Pavilion

Dali Kyoto.

in the inn.

The old man and the boy have lived here for five days.

In the past five days, they traveled almost all over the city of Kyoto, and also ate all over the city of Kyoto.

Now is the time for them to leave.

The two packed their things, walked out of the inn, got into the carriage, and under the protection of several guards, they left slowly along the wide street.

Inside the carriage.

The old man closed his eyes and pondered.

The young man was sitting next to him, fiddling with the jade talisman, and entering some information from time to time.

suddenly.

The old man opened his eyes and took out a golden token from his pocket.

The front of the token is engraved with the words "Di Zun Pavilion", and a five-clawed golden dragon is engraved on the back, which is lifelike.

"Give this order to Li Huang!" He said with a particularly solemn expression.

Hearing this, the young man almost popped his eyes out.

"Master, this is the order of the emperor, how can it be handed over to an emperor of the sixth dynasty?"

"Go as soon as I tell you! Why are you talking so much nonsense?" the old man said with a beard and a stare.

The young man scratched his head eagerly, and said, "Master, please think again."

"Think about it, hurry up!" The old man threw the token to the boy and urged.

The boy frantically followed the token, and hesitantly opened the curtain.

"Master, you really don't think about it anymore!"

He still couldn't help asking again.

"No need." The old man closed his eyes and said in a deep voice.

The boy had no choice but to get out of the carriage with the token.

After he left, the old man opened his eyes and said helplessly: "If you think about it again, I'm afraid you will regret it as a teacher?"

He shook his head sullenly.

And the young man got off the carriage, found a secluded place, and then squeezed the formula in his hand, and threw the golden token into the air.

……

In the palace study.

Zheng Ming is leisurely playing chess with Jia Xu.

It was rare that Jia Xu was free, so he invited him to play chess.

Zheng Ming always felt that something was wrong when playing chess with others.

Either it was too bad to lose, or it was too easy to win.

The reason why he lost so badly was that his opponent refused to let him go. A typical example is Xin Qiji, who didn't show any mercy to him, the emperor, and killed him every time he played chess.

It was too easy to win because the opponent gave way too much. Typical examples include Cao Zhengchun and Xiao Fuzi, who only think about how to lose.

However, people like Fa Hai, Jiu Jianxian and others said that they can't play chess, and they don't know if they really can't or fake, but they just don't want to play chess with him.

Only playing chess with Jia Xu can make Zheng Ming feel evenly matched. Although he loses every time, the loss is hearty.

"Your Majesty, you lost!" Jia Xu said with a light smile as he held his hand down.

Zheng Ming looked at the black and white chessboard, and raised his eyebrows lightly.

"Can't you let me win a game?"

"Winning or losing is not important, it's the process that matters," Jia Xu said.

Zheng Ming gave him a blank stare speechlessly.

"I only care about the result."

"Then Your Majesty should play chess with Eunuch Fu." Jia Xu laughed.

Next to him, Xiao Fuzi immediately showed a foolish smile.

Zheng Ming glanced at Xiao Fuzi, and said, "He's too stupid, winning too easily, it's meaningless."

Xiao Fuzi still smiled foolishly.

Just be stupid, he dare not win.

Jia Xu smiled and said nothing more.

Is Xiaofuzi stupid?
Nature is not stupid?
As the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, how can Xiao Fuzi be a stupid person?
The palm print eunuch is the inner court minister, the most powerful person in the palace, Xiao Fuzi can sit in this position safely, not being compared with Yu Huatian and Cao Zhengchun, not just taking advantage of being close to Zheng Ming.

"Your Majesty, the court has been fluctuating recently." Jia Xu said suddenly.

Zheng Ming glanced at him in surprise, and asked, "What fluctuation?"

Dali's court has always been stable, because the emperor Zheng Ming's prestige is too high, no one dares to tease his beard.In addition, because Jia Xu, Xin Qiji, Du Ruhui and others cooperated tacitly with each other, there were no messy things like fighting for power and profit, forming cliques and rejecting differences.

"The Ministry of Households is somewhat dissatisfied with the Royal Chamber of Commerce." Jia Xu said nonchalantly.

Zheng Ming was slightly taken aback, then suddenly smiled.

"Lu Kaiyan, this stingy guy, actually has his eye on the Royal Chamber of Commerce!"

Lu Kaiyan was originally the dean of Dali Huacheng Academy, but later Huacheng Academy was merged into the Sage Academy, and Lu Kaiyan entered the court as an official.

Now Lu Kaiyan is serving as Minister of the Household Department in the court.

The Minister of the Household Department is in charge of the money bag of the imperial court, and Dali Chaotang and Zheng Mingxue spent money lavishly. When they were in Jiuyu Shenzhou, they taxed one billion silver dollars every year, which was not enough for the various ministries of the court and the Dudu's Mansion. It can be seen that these guys have a lot of money to spend. How powerful.

Of course, the money was spent not because of waste or greed, but because it was really spent on construction.

But Lu Kaiyan didn't care about these things, he only knew that Dynasty's money was not enough to spend, so he developed a stingy character, every time he asked him for money, he would sting and search.

That was when he was in the Nine Realms of China, but now that he came to the Immortal Land, the spirit stones and money in the court were not enough to spend, and Lu Kaiyan became even more stingy.

It is normal for Lu Kaiyan to focus on the Royal Chamber of Commerce, because the Royal Chamber of Commerce can make money, and it still makes a lot of money.

Now Qinglan Island and Feiyun City belong to the Royal Chamber of Commerce, and in the past few months, the tentacles of the Royal Chamber of Commerce have extended to the squares and cities of various counties and prefectures.

They've all become giants.

The court lacked spirit stones, and the Royal Chamber of Commerce could earn spirit stones, so Lu Kaiyan naturally set his sights on the Royal Chamber of Commerce.

But the Royal Chamber of Commerce belongs to Zheng Ming's private property, and all proceeds go into Zheng Ming's internal treasury.

At the beginning, Zheng Ming gave all the inheritance of the Dasheng Dynasty to the court because he had the Royal Chamber of Commerce to earn Lingshi.

"The Royal Chamber of Commerce earns too much!" Jia Xu said.

Zheng Ming squeezed his chin, and asked Xiao Fuzi, "How many spirit stones will the treasury earn this month?"

Xiao Fuzi immediately found an account book from the desk next to him, and said, "A total of 83 spirit stones."

"It's really a lot!" Zheng Ming said with a light smile.

At present, Chaotang’s main source of income for Lingshi is Lingshi Mine and taxes. The Lingshi Mine can produce more than 50 yuan a month, and the tax revenue mainly comes from Sihai County and Suihe County. As for other counties, Chaotang has just taken control of the county government He Fuya has not started taxation yet.

The eighteen counties have a vast area, and if the court wants to completely control it, it is impossible to do it every three or two years.

This is still in the case of the cooperation of many cultivating families, otherwise it will take more time.

From this point of view, it is indeed a bit excessive for the Royal Chamber of Commerce to earn so many spirit stones.

The household department should be dissatisfied.

Of course, the internal treasury is not without expenditures. The imperial palace, the East Factory and the West Factory, Jinyiwei, Imperial Guards, etc., are all account books of the internal treasury.

Especially Jin Yiwei, who consumed countless spirit stones and resources.

Zheng Ming thought for a while and said, "Let Qinglan Island and Feiyun City be handed over to Chaotang for management. From now on, the Royal Chamber of Commerce will only conduct business."

Today's Qinglan Island and Feiyun City are not ordinary cities, but a concentration of businesses.

Needless to say, Qinglan Island is not only a place to trade with the demon clan, but also the business center of the three counties in the north of Dali.

And Feiyun City is located in the Dayu Dynasty, in the northwest of the Tianyuzong's sphere of influence. It is one of the three mutual markets open to the Tianyuzong.

There are more than [-] spiritual stones in these two places every month just for business taxes. In the past, Jinxian was responsible for collecting them, but now they are all handed over to the Royal Chamber of Commerce. Jinxian is only stationed on Qinglan Island.

Since it is a commercial tax, it should be handed over to the court for collection.

"My minister obeys the order." Jia Xu laughed when he heard this.

This chess can't be played in vain, you have to get some benefits.

Zheng Ming looked at him, and immediately understood why this guy was free to play chess with him today.

"You bastard, even I have plans."

"I don't dare!" Jia Xu said.

Zheng Ming curled his lips, too lazy to argue with him.

He is the emperor of Dali, most people naturally dare not lay eyes on him, but Jia Xu is an exception.

Because even if Jia Xu is tempted with you, it won't make you feel angry.

In contrast, Xin Qiji was much more straightforward. If Xin Qiji talked about this matter, he would definitely speak out and would not engage in such small tricks at all.

As for Du Ruhui, he would make insinuations, not as clever as Jia Xu, but more tactful than Xin Qiji.

The three civil servants have different personalities and different methods of handling government affairs.

Just when Zheng Ming was about to fight Jia Xu again, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

A group of imperial guards held weapons and stopped in front of the gate of the hall.

Zheng Ming frowned slightly.

Could it be that there are assassins?

"Go and see."

He gave instructions to Xiao Fuzi with a calm expression.

As the emperor, it is normal for someone to want to assassinate him.

There are often some unexpected visitors in this palace, under normal circumstances Jinyiwei, Dongchangxichang and Imperial Guards will deal with them quietly.

It was the first time that I could make trouble in front of Zheng Ming.

But before Xiao Fuzi walked out of the study, Chen Qi and Zheng Lun had already entered.

"Meet Your Majesty!" the two bowed.

Zheng Ming asked casually, "What happened?"

Chen Qi explained: "A stream of light shot into the palace just now, and we have already stopped it."

Zheng Ming looked surprised, "What?"

Chen Qi took out a golden token and handed it to Xiao Fuzi. Xiao Fuzi checked it before handing it to Zheng Ming.

"Emperor Pavilion!"

Zheng Ming looked at the token with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Can the source be traced?"

"No, the technique of controlling objects on the token is quite miraculous. I humbled myself to follow the breath to check, but I didn't find anything." Chen Qi said.

Zheng Ming pinched the token, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he had opened the emperor's eyes.

Around the imperial palace, most of the capital city appeared in his eyes.

On the wide long street, a carriage moved forward slowly.

If it was normal, Zheng Ming would not pay attention to a carriage, but with just one glance, he discovered the difference in this carriage.

This is not a carriage, it is simply a small flying boat.

It is shrouded in a hazy aura, which looks very ordinary on the surface, but it is actually a deception.

Breaking through the illusion, inside it is a gorgeous frame engraved with magical runes.

Even the horse pulling the cart is not a horse, but a tiger demon.

Those guards next to the carriage are actually Ming Dao Realm!

While Zheng Ming was observing the carriage, a peaceful voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"The old man has no malicious intentions, please rest assured His Majesty Li Huang."

The art of sound transmission for thousands of miles!

Zheng Ming's mind moved slightly.

It is miraculous to be able to send voices to his ears after more than ten miles without disturbing anyone.

In fact, Zheng Ming can also do long-distance sound transmission.

Of course, Zheng Ming doesn't know how to transmit sound over thousands of miles, what he knows is how to control Tianwei.

Using Tianwei as a microphone is far more powerful than the Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Technique.

However, the distance of Zheng Ming's sound transmission is limited to the range of controlling Tianwei, which is only about a hundred miles around, which is far less than that of thousands of miles of sound transmission.

"Since the senior is here, why don't you want to meet me?"

Inside the carriage, when the old man heard the words, a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"It's not yet time to meet each other. When His Majesty Li Huang arrives in Zhongtianyu, you can come to Tianyun Pavilion to find the old man."
