The king behind the empress

Chapter 37
"I owe 4000 million taels of taxes in three years."

Mo Zizai was silent for a moment, and then slowly let out a breath, "It's really brave, how dare they!"

"Your Majesty can't do anything."

After knowing that the empress must be the mistress of the palace, Jia Fu also began to defend the empress in his words, "The powerful families in the Jiangnan area colluded with local officials, and most of the people in the household department also came from Jiangnan, so the entire Jiangnan area It can be said that it is monolithic, and it is difficult for even His Majesty to intervene."

"In the first year, His Majesty sent the censor to the Jiangnan area to monitor, but as soon as the censor went there, some troubles occurred, which almost caused a civil uprising in the Jiangnan area."

"In addition, at that time, the war in the eastern border was tense, and under no choice, His Majesty could only choose to turn a blind eye to the tax arrears in the Jiangnan area."

"Those people in the south of the Yangtze River eat and grow the land of those families. It is easy for those families to stir up civil unrest." Mo Zizai didn't know what he was thinking, and his tone was a little cold: "But , They probably forgot that all the land in this world belongs to Da Zhou, and Da Zhou belongs to my Mo family!"

After saying this, Mo Zizai's tone returned to calm, "But it's okay, I'll remind them when I have time, I hope they won't regret it when the time comes."

Although Mo Zizai's tone was very calm, Jia Fu couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard it. He knew Mo Zizai very well, so he could naturally feel Mo Zizai's monstrous killing intent hidden under his calmness from this sentence.

He grew up watching Mo Zizai, and he has never seen Mo Zizai with such a serious murderous intention. This made him silently pray for the aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, praying that they would be tougher, so that his prince can kill Have fun.

Otherwise, this murderous desire will always be held in my heart, and it will be bad for Wang Ye's health.

There was no words along the way, several carriages loaded with weapons slowly drove into a manor near the Zizai Palace.

Since the establishment of the East Factory was too hasty, a location had not been selected for a while, so Jia Fu rented the manor at a price of 100 taels a month and used it as a temporary office of the East Factory.

As for the person who can buy such a big house here, why would he rent out the manor for just 100 taels of silver? Jia Fu thinks it is probably because he put a knife on his neck, which moved him a little.

After all, with power in one hand and a sword in the other, few people could refuse. In addition, the manor was left idle by the businessman, so he happily rented out the manor.

After learning that Mo Zizai had come in person, Liu Hong and Sun Kui, among the three persons in charge of the East Factory, hurried over to meet him.

"The servant has met the prince and Mr. Jia."

"Okay, excuse me." Mo Zizai waved his hand and said, "Liu Hong, this king brought back a thousand sets of Yuzhisi's equipment from the Weapons Bureau. You can let all your subordinates wear them."

"Starting today, you Dongchang will have all the powers of Yu Zhisi. I hope you will not let me down."

"Willing to die for the prince!"

Liu Hong's tone was a little excited. He is a person unwilling to be mediocre. At first he thought that he would die of old age in Daming Palace in this life. Unexpectedly, Mo Zizai appeared suddenly and gave him another chance. This time he will definitely Take advantage of this opportunity!
If there is any group in the world who knows the rules best, it is undoubtedly the eunuchs in the palace. People who live in the palace and don't know the rules have long since died.

And under this kind of rules, they do everything in an orderly manner. It took almost no time for more than [-] people to be fully armed.

Beast Tun Dao, Qianjun Crossbow, and Lined Soft Armor, this is the three-piece suit that Yu Zhisi comes standard with, and it looks quite similar to wearing it on the people of Dongchang at this time.

In addition to these three pieces of standard equipment, Yu Zhisi should also have the green scale uniform and tokens, but these things need to be customized and will take two days to make, so this time they did not send them together.

After the Dongchang people put on their equipment, Mo Zizai stood at the front of the team, looked at the five hundred well-equipped Dongchang factory guards, and said solemnly: "Since you are wearing this suit, the king hopes You can understand one thing, from now on, you will be the swords in this king's hands, I hope you will not let this king down."

"Willing to die for the prince!"

Without the slightest hesitation, more than five hundred people knelt on one knee and swore allegiance.

They were the royal servants, and they didn't have the slightest resistance to their allegiance to Mo Zizai. What's more, there was no problem with Mo Zizai's current majesty's order.

Mo Zizai is not very good at speech, he glanced at the 500 people kneeling down, he didn't say anything, but nodded, and said to Jia Fu next to him: "Jia Fu, Yue Feng of Dongchang will be transferred from the palace for the time being." If they have any needs, they will try their best to meet them."

After finishing speaking, Mo Zizai turned his head to Liu Hong and said, "Liu Hong, you are the admiral of Dongchang. If you have any needs, you can tell Jia Fu directly. If Jia Fu can't do it, you can come to me again." .”

"Thank you, my lord!"

Liu Hong saluted respectfully. With Mo Zizai's words, he would no longer have troubles with supplies in the East Factory.

Mo Zizai didn't stay in Dongchang too long. After making the arrangements, he and Jia Fu quietly went to the outskirts of the city. There were not only the fields Jia Fu bought, but also the Yu Zhiwei who had been summoned by Zhou Qi. .

When Mo Zizai and Jia Fu arrived, Zhou Qi had already been waiting for a long time.

"Well, are you all ready?"

Mo Zizai looked at the basically unobstructed terrain except for the yard in front of him, and nodded slightly in his heart. This kind of endless terrain is the most suitable for a base.

No matter who it is, once they approach, they will be discovered immediately, eliminating the possibility of leaking secrets to the greatest extent.

Hearing Mo Zizai's question, Zhou Qi nodded and said, "It's been arranged. The two thousand Yuzhiwei and the statues are all ready now."

"it is good."

Mo Zizai nodded without procrastinating, and directly used the accelerator to add all the people nearby, including Jia Fu, to the low-level acceleration list.

This was what he had discussed with Zhou Qi, using the statues as a cover to speed up the cultivation speed of these Yu Zhiwei.

Of course, Zhou Qi will not directly reveal that the reason for the acceleration of his cultivation base is because of the god statue, he will only let people protect the god statue at all costs, as for what the possible traitors of Yuzhi Weizhong will think, then don’t care about his business .

After all, sometimes the answer you find out by yourself will make people more convinced that it is not.

……

After arranging the affairs of Yuzhisi and Dongchang, Mo Zizai had nothing particularly important to do. While learning about the situation in the court with the empress every day, he silently waited for the wedding date to be set.

It took seven days for Mo Zizai to calculate the auspicious days for the auspicious days at Qin Tianjian, and finally set the wedding date.

According to the practice of the Great Zhou, every major festival, or any major event in the country, there must be a Great Court Meeting.

And the emperor's marriage is naturally considered a major national event, so the grand dynasty will be tomorrow.

PS: Changchao also refers to the morning court. The ministers are the same as going to work. They get it at [-]:[-] every morning, but there are fewer officials. Only important officials are eligible to go to the morning court.

And the Great Dynasty is held only a few times throughout the year, and every time it is held, officials of the sixth rank and above in the capital must participate.

　The time in the previous chapter was wrong, it was not this year but last year, this year is the fourth year of the empress's ascension to the throne, the tax has not yet been confiscated, sorry, it has been changed.
