Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 335

[Chapter 335 Rolled Up]

The land is naturally more interesting than the seabed.

Otherwise, for so many years, the sea people would not have wanted to go ashore again and again, and were beaten back by the human race again and again.

The land is rich in products, and there are all kinds of meat that can replace fish, and vegetables are not limited to all kinds of seaweed. Whether it is food, clothing or play, it is not comparable to the seabed. For the sea people, it is like a colorful world.

This woman from the sea spirit tribe is obviously no longer interested in the sea.

And she is very thick-skinned.

After only meeting twice, she planned to stay on the boat and eat and drink for free.

But she didn’t need a mouth. Seeing that Ning’er and the others were still interested in the sea spirit tribe, Lin Xiu let her go.

After deciding to take her in temporarily, Qin Wan first took her to the room and changed her clothes. Her previous clothes were stolen from the riverside and were very loose. Qin Wan and her had a similar figure, so she could just lend her clothes.

After she changed her clothes, combed her hair, and put on her extra jewelry, this woman from the Sea Spirit tribe looked no different from a human woman, a beautiful girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

But she looked more like the women from Dayu. Lin Xiu took them on the road, and there were black-haired and black-eyed people, black-haired and blue-eyed people, and blonde and blue-eyed people around her. The rate of turning back was still 100%.

But at this time, people no longer thought there was anything wrong with this scene.

In the huge Donghai Prefecture, some people have guessed Lin Xiu’s identity and knew that he was a big shot from Kyoto.

The changes in Donghai Prefecture these days are because of him. The

elimination of the evil Donghai Chamber of Commerce was also done by him.

It can be said that he has a favor to all the people in Donghai Prefecture. Good people should be rewarded. Even if he is surrounded by beauties, no one envies or is jealous. It

has always been the case that heroes are hard to resist beauties. Isn’t the Emperor of Daxia the most greedy king in the past hundred years?

Moreover, if he had not liked beauties and wanted to buy the Sea Spirit woman, there would not have been what happened later.

Speaking of which, they should also thank the manager of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce who had lost his head.

Fortunately, he did not sell the Sea Spirit woman for 100,000 taels that day, otherwise, the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce might still be at large. All the people of the East China Sea Prefecture should go to his grave to burn incense…

…

A few days later, a pleasure boat flew up from the East China Sea Prefecture City, and countless people of the East China Sea Prefecture came to the streets to see it off.

On the pleasure boat, a Sea Spirit woman named Anna lay on the fence of the pleasure boat. Although her face turned pale because of fear of heights, her expression could not hide her excitement and excitement.

The outside world is very dangerous, but for her, it is full of novelty everywhere.

There are bad people and good people among the human race.

What’s more, she has the Lord of the Sea by her side.

Although the Lord of the Sea does not recognize his identity, to her, he is the god in her heart.

The pleasure boat flew towards the capital. It had been more than half a month since they left the house. It was a few days earlier than Lin Xiu expected to return. The main reason was that the prefect of Donghai was too cooperative. Later, Lin Xiu and A Ke had nothing else to do.

They had promised the imperial concubine to go back at least once a month, so they naturally could not break their promise.

Natasha was the princess of Daluo, the first genius of Daluo. She also had to practice. It was not right for her to stay with them all the time. If it lasted any longer, Daluo might suspect that their princess had been abducted.

After returning to the capital, Lin Xiu found that the matter of Donghai Prefecture had caused some chain reactions in the capital.

The prefect of Donghai Prefecture was an official of the side branch of the Song family. Lin Xiu had carried out a big purge in Donghai Prefecture these days, raiding the homes of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce and countless wealthy families. The court used the largest ship to transport the silver and property several times.

Donghai was already rich, and those wealthy families were richer than each other. With the addition of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, the tax revenue of Daxia for one year was directly seized.

The Donghai Prefecture City was filled with blood and blood was flowing like a river. Those nobles whose property was not confiscated were also frightened and donated money to the national treasury one by one. They donated half a year’s taxes…

For the court, this was naturally a great achievement. The national treasury had not been so full in decades. Although it was Lin Xiu who did it, the prefect of Donghai Prefecture also made a lot of efforts and got a good reputation.

This incident indirectly improved the reputation of the Song family among the people, and even the King of Qi got some light.

As a strong supporter of the King of Qi, the Song family had fought with the Zhang family and the prince for so long, and had extremely rich experience in party struggles. How could they miss such an opportunity? They immediately started a series of momentum building in the court and among the people, making the prince’s situation awkward.

As the prince, his only advantage over the King of Qi was the support of the Zhang family.

In terms of appearance, the prince did not inherit the beauty of His Majesty and the Queen, and was far less tall and handsome than the King of Qi.

In terms of ability, the prince’s ability is water, and his talent is not high. He has not yet been promoted to the earth level. Although the talent of the King of Qi is not top-notch, it is much better than the prince.

In terms of health, everyone knows that the prince is a sickly person. Without a good body, how can he govern this powerful country? Look at your majesty, who spends the night in the palace of the favorite concubine every night. Except for not being able to get out of bed in the morning, his body is still very healthy. He is so lustful and indulges in lust, but his body is not broken. This is enough to explain a lot.

This is only compared with the King of Qi.

Daxia is one of the top three countries in the five dynasties, and the country ranked first in the last Tianjiao list. It should be compared with Dayu and Daluo, but no one has ever compared them in this way.

It’s not that they don’t want to, but they are too ashamed.

The eldest prince of Daluo, who was once in the top five of the Tianjiao list, and the second prince of Daluo, are now the tenth on the Tianjiao list.

The eldest prince of Dayu was ranked second on the Tianjiao list last time, and is now ranked third. The second prince of Dayu was ranked third on the Tianjiao list last time, and is now ranked fourth. Even the fourth prince of Dayu has entered the Tianjiao list twice.

What about the crown prince of Daxia?

The crown prince has never even qualified for the big competition.

Among the royal family, the one with the highest talent and the strongest ability is the King of Qin.

But the crown prince has the Zhang family behind him, the King of Qi has the Song family behind him, and what is behind the King of Qin?

Concubine Shu was just from a small and powerful family. She entered the palace as a show girl. Somehow, she won the favor of His Majesty and became one of the four concubines in the harem in a short time.

The family behind her can’t provide any help to the King of Qin.

In any case, this time the Song family took advantage of the topic to expose the crown prince’s incompetence nakedly, so that the Zhang family and their followers couldn’t raise their heads when they went to court.

East Palace.

The crown prince stood by the lake, with a decadent look on his face.

He naturally knew what happened in the court these days, and he was also very clear about those rumors. He wanted to be angry, but he had no reason to be angry, because those people were right… Regarding the

East China Sea incident, he knew that Lin Xiu was not targeting him on purpose.

But he was still greatly affected.

Is this retribution?

Zhang Mansion.

The head of the Zhang family rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache.

Although the strength of the Zhang family is much stronger than that of the Song family, the Song family is also a family with heavenly-level strongmen after all, and it is also a big threat to the Zhang family. They cannot be completely ignored.

If the prince is more motivated, it would be fine.

The problem is that the prince is not motivated. He can’t surpass the reputation of the King of Qi, and he has even been suppressed by the King of Qi. This time, the Song family took advantage of the East China Sea incident to flatter and trample on one, making the Zhang family very passive.

The Zhang family even thought that the queen is not too old now, so why not let her and His Majesty have another child? Anyway, with His Majesty’s current physical condition, there should be no problem sitting on the throne for another 20 years. At that time, it would be the same to support the little prince to take the throne.

The current prince is really hopeless.

But they still don’t want to do it unless it is absolutely necessary.

For now, the only way is to find a way to build momentum for the prince.

Didn’t the Song family confiscate the homes of many wealthy merchants and nobles in Donghai Prefecture and donate their property to the national treasury? The Zhang family also confiscates. In the twenty-one prefectures of Daxia, the Zhang family controls much more places than the Song family. If

the Song family can confiscate Daxia’s annual taxes, the Zhang family can confiscate three to five years.

If the Song family can punish one corrupt official, the Zhang family can punish ten.

Daxia has nothing else, but there is no shortage of wealthy and unkind gentry and corrupt officials who are not upright. The Zhang family didn’t have the ability to manage them before, but they were not interested in managing them. For these big families, nothing is better than cultivating the genius of the family. This is the foundation for the Zhang family to stand firm.

But now it’s no use. The group of old foxes in the Song family have already shown a tendency to abolish the prince by using public opinion. How can the Zhang family be willing to follow?

Isn’t it just confiscating the house and arresting people? Who can’t do it?

However, this kind of thing can’t be done in vain.

If one family is seized, the court will get 80%, and the Zhang family will deduct 20%, which is also a big profit.

Don’t blame the Zhang family for those corrupt officials and gentry. Blame the Song family. They are the ones who forced the Zhang family to this point.

The Zhang family acted very quickly, and the Song family did not expect that they would actually take this approach.

This is good. Not only did they fail to hit the prince, but they put themselves on the fire.

As a powerful family, the Zhang family set an example for the country and the people, fighting against the gentry and eliminating corrupt officials. Can the Song family just stand by and watch?

Not only can they not watch, but in order to accumulate reputation for the King of Qi, they have to do more and better than the Zhang family. Of course, the Song family has done so many good things for the people and greatly filled the treasury for the court. The merits are huge. It should not be excessive to deduct 20% from them as hard work fees?

…

Lin Xiu never expected that the prince would be shot in this way.

Maybe the prince’s fate is really in conflict with him.

But what he didn’t expect was that the cleansing operation in Donghai would eventually develop into this. In order to accumulate reputation for the crown prince and the King of Qi, the Zhang and Song families actually rolled up…

Lin Xiu’s plan to travel around Daxia was forced to stop after only one month. What he and A Ke wanted to do was done by the Zhang and Song families. At this moment, what else can Lin Xiu do except give them a heart?

In this wave of fighting between the Zhang and Song families, Emperor Xia may become the biggest winner…

The family was seized by the Zhang and Song families, and the people were arrested by the Zhang and Song families. The pot was taken by the two families, and all the benefits belonged to Emperor Xia. After this wave of seizures, the treasury will not be tight for at least ten years. When

Lin Xiu was about to go out to see the imperial concubine, Zhu Jin walked in from outside.

He handed Lin Xiu a box.

Lin Xiu opened it and took a look, and found that the box was full of silver bills. After a rough count, there were actually 500,000 taels. Lin Xiu was stunned and asked, “What is this…”

Zhu Jin said, “His Majesty said that he doesn’t like to owe others. The 400,000 taels here are owed by Her Royal Highness the Princess to you. His Majesty helped her pay it back, and the remaining 100,000 taels are His Majesty’s dowry for Your Highness. His Majesty also said that we are all family, and if you need money in the future, just ask…” After

considering it, this volume cannot be written in the form of a travelogue, because I can’t write it in a high spirit, and it will also seem very watery and scattered. This approach should be the most appropriate. Although you always say that I am watery, others can write dozens or hundreds of chapters of plots, and I may only have a few chapters or a dozen chapters here. I will never have more chapters if I can have fewer chapters. If it were really watery, how could each book be so short…
