Dress up and fight!

Chapter 2769 The smart man who cheats (50)

Unfortunately, the new emperor failed to marry Wu Xingniang back in the end.

Not because of Wu Xingniang's reputation.

After all, when it is calculated that the annual income of Girl City is equal to half of the national treasury's tax revenue, reputation is not important anymore.

This is just the money that Nucheng earned in Dawei.

It is said that there are countless imported goods in Wei Dynasty, and now even Hu merchants and Fan merchants come from thousands of miles to ask for goods.

Due to the remote location of Maiden City, some smart businessmen acted as middlemen.

Just the price difference alone made a lot of money.

And the reason why the new emperor didn't marry Wu Xingniang was simply because he couldn't find a chance to pass the message to Wu Xingniang.

Wu Xingniang was the late emperor's younger sister, unless the two of them reached a consensus in private, he must not reveal his desire to marry her back.

Therefore, the new emperor could only send his eunuchs to take one hundred thousand taels of silver to Nucheng to meet people in the name of buying.

It's a pity that the one hundred thousand taels of silver was spent, and the eunuch who passed the decree didn't even see Jin Qing's shadow.

They were arranged in the trading area, and because they couldn't tell what they wanted to buy, they were forced to pack a bunch of goods by the trader in Nucheng and send them out of Nucheng.

On the way back to the city, the eunuch who passed the decree was deeply moved.

As expected, it was a girl's city, and thoughtful consideration was given to all aspects, from dry food, carriages, horse fodder, to accompanying escorts.

Even the accounts are calculated clearly, making people feel that their one hundred thousand taels of silver was definitely not wasted.

The one hundred thousand taels of things entered the warehouse, which made the concubines in the harem very happy.

The new emperor just watched those things helplessly, and was happily begged by the concubines one by one.

In fact, although the emperor is rich in the world, the world is so big that money is needed everywhere.

On the front line, military pay, food and grass, sergeants' armor and military uniforms, and weapons and military supplies that are replaced every year.

These are real money.

Domestically, there is drought today and floods tomorrow.

Digging canals, building dams, repairing bridges and roads.

As long as I open my eyes every day, I will be full of officials looking for excuses to ask for money.

The new emperor is not willing to be an ordinary emperor, he always wants to leave a mark in the history books.

So he worked hard, conscientiously, utterly, and set an example
In short, he tried all the actions of Ming Jun that appeared in the history books before.

Unfortunately, in the end, the only thing he did was to help the country save money.

The expenses of the harem were halved, and the monthly allowances from the queen to the concubine were all cut.

It's not that he won't give it, he is a dignified emperor anyway, and he can't let the concubine's natal family help him raise a woman.

Therefore, the one hundred thousand taels of silver made him really uncomfortable for a few days.

I also have more thoughts about the female city.

It was a place where you had to pay to get in.

If it goes to him, even if only the tax goes to him, it is enough for him to do a lot of things.

How could women manage such a place well.

He must have a way to force the other party to take the initiative to come out and talk to him.

Although he can't expropriate the female city, he can secretly cut off the female city's trade.

Therefore, the new emperor began to secretly express his dislike for the female city.

The ministers are the people who know the emperor best, so they passed their guesses to the officials of their own faction smoothly.

Then, these officials began to expressly imply that merchants should not go to trade with Nucheng.

It's a pity that businessmen value profits.

Four or five times the profit is enough for them to take risks.

Not to mention that the current profit has reached more than ten times.

Realizing that he couldn't control these merchants, there were suddenly more bandits and robbers all the way to the female city.

They thought that as long as no one bought the goods from Girl City, they would have nothing to do.

Who would have thought that after a few months, Nucheng actually opened an escort agency.

Specializes in helping merchants deliver goods.

This time, Nucheng took the cashier's ticket.

They will help the merchant deliver the goods to a nearby safe city, and then exchange the goods for money.

The women held a hidden weapon called Palm Thunder, as long as they threw it out, even the strongest robbers would be blown to pieces.

And they also heard that Wu Xingniang, the city lord of the Maiden City, is very vengeful, if someone hurts someone from her Maiden City, even if they chase them to the ends of the earth, they will send the other party's family for a ride.

It's just that these are rumors, and no one has personally experienced it, so there is no way to verify it.

Xiao Hei was eager to try to be the emperor again, but it was a pity that Jin Qing didn't give him this chance.

After all, the emperor was just tossing his own people, and didn't really do anything to the female city.

Most of the time, Jin Qing feels that he is a good citizen who keeps his own way.

It's just that the good ones aren't as obvious.

After discovering the endless means of fighting against the female city, the new emperor finally withered.

After all, now that businessmen earn money, they also have to pay taxes.

Although it is not as good as the girl city, it is better than nothing.

After thinking about it, the new emperor began to pin his hopes on Wu Xingniang's death.

Wu Xingniang has imperial protection, but others do not.

At that time, without the restriction of the first emperor's imperial decree, he did not believe that he would not be able to slap a place the size of a palm.

Recalling the past of Nucheng, the convoy began to head towards Nucheng with all its strength.

It wasn't until the land under his feet suddenly widened that the bodyguard quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though he knew that the female city was safe, he was still worried about escorting such a large sum of money.

Although escorts in Maicheng are safe, they are more expensive.

The bodyguard is not from the female city, but he is familiar with this road, and has some friendship with some of the staff in the female city.

That's why I often do some escort work.

But he spent a lot of money, and promised that every time the bodyguard silver would be distributed to Nucheng, he asked for a flag from the bodyguard bureau of Nucheng.

Fortunately, those bandits didn't dare to show their heads after seeing the flag of Nucheng, which allowed them to reach their destination safely.

Although I have seen the city wall of the female city countless times, my awe will never change.

It is said that the red powder in the cracks of the city wall is full of human blood
Just as he was thinking, he heard the sound of a horn suddenly sounding above the female city.

With the sound of the horn, several people with ropes tied around their necks were pushed down from the city wall.

There was even faint crying in the city.

Afterwards, the crying became louder and louder, and a dozen people were thrown out of the female city by the guards like garbage.

The master hurriedly stretched out his head to ask the bodyguard what happened.

Hearing the master's inquiry, the bodyguard hurriedly rode over to inquire about the situation.

This female city is not a place that can be entered casually.

You know, the treatment in the female city is very good.

Everyone can enjoy the dividends of the fleet as long as they are born.

As long as you have enough money, you can rent a boat with the city lord's mansion.

After returning, they have to pay [-]% of the supplies on board to the City Lord's Mansion as tax.

The other [-]% will be used as a dividend for everyone in the female city.

The remaining [-]% is all owned by myself.

If you don't have enough money, you can also rent a boat.

It's just that after the return journey, [-]% of the goods on board will belong to the city owner.

[-]% as a dividend for everyone.

The remaining [-]% ​​belong to themselves.
