Those who eat qi, live long life

Chapter 277

"Haha, Brother Zhao, everyone said that you are the richest man in the county. Today I know that you are the richest man in the county. You have such a huge family fortune. My little brother is willing to bow down!"

Inside the mansion of Mr. Zhao in Qingshui County, Jiulu Country, one person was watching a ranking, talking endlessly to Zhao Bancheng, who was ranked first in Qingshui County's wealth list, with an envious and envious tone.

Zhao Bancheng was also looking at that item, frowning deeply, coping with it gruntingly.

The person sitting next to him is a salt merchant in this county, and his ranking is impressively third.

And the second place is the county's magistrate.

In addition to them, the names of the noble gentry in this county are all in the forefront, and everyone is familiar with it.

Zhao Bancheng glanced at it for a while, and his heart felt turbulent.

Zhao Bancheng only had a rough idea of ​​the amount of his wealth. He only knew that he was extremely rich in Qingshui County, but he himself had no way of knowing the exact number of his wealth. Unexpectedly, there was someone who knew better than him today!
However, such a wealth ranking may not be taken seriously. What Zhao Bancheng immediately thought of was nothing but the fact that the person who concocted this ranking wanted to harm him!

His wealth is actually more than that of the county lord?Or twice as much?
This is an extremely dangerous thing!
"I don't know who is so boring, just talking nonsense!"

Zhao Bancheng was extremely vigilant, the so-called wealth is not revealed, no matter how rich it is, it is right to make a fortune silently, what is the reason for shaking out other people's property?
This person has bad intentions!

Zhao Bancheng found an excuse to send the salt merchant away. Not long after, several accountants in the mansion were summoned. Since the first time he saw this list that was spread everywhere, he deliberately asked the accountant in the mansion to check his wealth , Does it match what was announced on this list?

A lot of account rooms were moved, and his various properties were accounted for. This process lasted for several days, and today, he finally got a more accurate figure.

When the general ledger reported, his expression was also extremely strange:
"Master, your property is almost the same as that on the list..."

Snapped!
The teacup in Zhao Bancheng's hand suddenly shattered under his force, turning into a handful of fine sand.

This Mr. Zhao is a master of the first rank of martial arts and true energy. He is in the world, otherwise he would not be able to save and keep this huge property!

But at this moment, there was only a stormy sea and fear in his heart.

If his information on the list is true, then it proves that the authenticity of the list is almost inseparable!

To know his total wealth, he himself has to go through the general ledger for several days to confirm it, but how did the people behind the scenes who made this list know?
If there is only this list about Qingshui County, Zhao Bancheng will think that there is a person with great energy who wants to do something in Qingshui County.

According to Zhao Bancheng's news channel, it is known that JH City above Qingshui County, as well as Xilu County and Jiulu Country, have a list on each level, involving the Jiulu Country List, County List, City List, etc. , County list, each list lists the top [-] richest people!
If the authenticity of these lists has been verified, then the manipulating this matter is not only powerful, but the hands and eyes are open to the sky, I am afraid it is the means of God!

According to Zhao Bancheng's knowledge, only those Qi practitioners can do it, and they have to be extremely powerful Qi practitioners!

What is this for?
Zhao Bancheng was filled with endless doubts.

He believes that the uproar caused by this list has spread to all parts of the Nine Routes Kingdom, and a huge storm is brewing. He is not the only one who is frightened and angry.

What made Zhao Bancheng curious was whether he could rank in the top [-] in the city list above the county list?

What if it is a county list?

And these lists are not difficult to get, because these lists are spread everywhere and are not secrets.

While Zhao Bancheng was thinking about it, someone came to report:
"The county lord is here to visit!"

"...Invite him to come in, forget it, I will go to greet him personally."

Zhao Bancheng squeezed the list in his hand, feeling very complicated. This visiting county venerable is a Qi trainer, a Taoist soldier of the Lord of the Nine Routes, and the hand of the Lord of the Nine Routes to control the kingdom.

Now that this wealth list comes out, his property is actually twice as much as that of the county lord. I'm afraid this county lord can't sit still!

In Qingshui County, no one is allowed to be richer than him, he is the king's Taoist soldier!
Qingshui County Venerable, approaching menacingly, with dark eyes:

"Zhao Bancheng, you really are Bancheng!"

"...Why did your lord say that?" Zhao Bancheng also felt completely suppressed when facing the qi trainer.

"Hehe, on this list, you sit at the top!"

What the county lord brought out was the wealth list of Qingshui County. This list, I am afraid that everyone has a copy!

Zhao Bancheng forced a smile and said:

"My lord, this is nonsense. Although a villain is rich, he is not as good as an adult. I am afraid that the person who made the list is harming me!"

"Oh, yes, what harmed you?"

The county venerable didn't believe a word, because he had already checked his wealth with someone, and it was almost the same as the number on the list, which shows the authenticity of the list.

But at this time, he didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about his crimes. Even if Zhao Bancheng's wealth is twice his, there is no need to say it publicly if he wants to deal with him. There are methods behind it.

The county official said:

"Recently, the Southeastern Alliance army has come under pressure and confronted our army on the border of Huye County. Although we are in the rear, the flames of war will not affect us for a while, but the enemy's spies are already active everywhere. This list is mostly fabricated by the enemy. Spreading and disseminating, it is intended to disturb our rear!"

"……Yes!"

"I have received a notice from the lord of the country to stabilize the place, and we must not cause a temporary riot to give the enemy an opportunity... Bancheng, you are a prominent figure in this county, and you must assist this official."

"It's natural." Zhao Bancheng knew it and said, "I don't know how a villain can cooperate with an adult?"

"Hehe, it's all about contributing money and effort. The people below are a little floating in their minds."

"..."

What the county lord said was very meaningful, and Zhao Bancheng understood it instantly, because after this list of wealth in Qingshui County, there is the last paragraph, which is the average annual income of the county, which is the annual income of the county. The amount shared by the people is concise and to the point.

There are 300 taels.

However, Zhao Bancheng knew that a low-ranking slave in the mansion would earn about five liang of salary a year, and this was already a better life than most people in the county.

On average, there are 300 taels, and most people's annual income is less than [-] taels, so where does the money go?
Naturally, it was in the hands of the top [-] people on the list.

This naturally makes people extremely jealous.

It's fine if they don't know, but now that they know, I'm afraid many people have pink eye disease.

So many troubles out of thin air!
Zhao Bancheng suggested:
"My lord, what's so difficult about this? Whoever chews his tongue will punish him for a rumor!"

"Hehe, that's exactly the reason, but this matter requires a lot of manpower. If they want to do their best, they need to pay enough money."

"...It's natural." Zhao Bancheng sighed in his heart, the county lord would never give up if he didn't beat him, and he could only admit it: "The villain will definitely support it with all his strength!"

"Very good!" The magistrate got the promise and left satisfied. He was not afraid that Zhao Bancheng would not bleed a lot this time!

Not only Zhao Bancheng, but none of the tycoons on the list were spared!

At this time, in the county seat of Qingshui County, there are many people of insight who are discussing the wealth list. For the amount of wealth on it, they can't imagine it at the first time. A fraction of the money...

Astronomical figures impact their consciousness in the most intuitive way.

How could anyone be so rich?
In the past, it was just a general impression of these tycoons and riches, which was vague, but now an accurate and huge number allows them to use their own wealth to make the most intuitive comparison with it.

The results are incredibly frustrating and... outrageous.

Why?
This kind of emotion is secret, but a kind of unwillingness has been breeding in the heart.

Why?
There is a teahouse in the county, and there are discussions about this matter everywhere. An old scholar lamented:
"Don't worry about scarcity but inequality... This is the policy of the country. Now the wealth disparity is so great, people's hearts are floating, and the country is in danger!"

"...Old man, what nonsense!"

Inside the teahouse, several Tolerances charged fiercely. They were all warriors with martial arts skills. They pinched the old scholar:
"The old man is getting impatient, dare to spread rumors?"

The old pedant was held in his hand like a chicken, his bones creaked, but his eyes were wide with anger and he was heartbroken:
"The mouth of Fangmin is stronger than Fangchuan, what's the reason?"

"How dare you speak hard! I'm too lazy to talk to you, take it away!"

Tolerance took away the old scholar, and warned the people in the teahouse:
"Whoever dares to chew their tongues will go to the county government to be imprisoned!"

"..."

Inside the teahouse, there was a moment of silence, but if one looked from the second floor of the teahouse, a large number of tolerance officers were on the move and arrested on the street outside.

The entire Qingshui County was in chaos!
Many rushed home to escape the limelight.

After a day or two, the discussion about the wealth list gradually subsided, and the riots caused this time were slowly suppressed.

If there is no accident, the impact of this incident will eventually dissipate.

These grassroots know the disparity in wealth, so what?

Dare to be angry but dare not speak!

However, on the fifth day, when the situation gradually calmed down, another declaration appeared, which caused an uproar, as if a huge bomb had exploded:

"Within one month, if the wealth of the person at the top of the list is three times higher than the average, kill the top ten first, then kill the top hundred after two months, and finish killing in March!"

Simple and crude declaration, like a joke.

However, the people on the wealth list in Qingshui County are all like cats whose tails have been stepped on, full of shock and anger:
"Who is talking nonsense!"

"dare!"

"I don't know who is fishing in troubled waters?"

"Old parents! You have to decide for us!"

"..."

One by one, the local gentry flocked to the county government office to find the county magistrate, demanding to find out the hidden threat and provide them with protection!
In this matter, of course, it is better to believe it than to believe it!

At this time, the county official also frowned deeply.

He is much more informed than these country bumpkins in the county. This declaration is not only aimed at Qingshui County, but the entire Nine Routes Kingdom, and they are all threatened!
