Empress, you don't want to be thrown into limbo by your father, do you?

【Izalina Britannia Yuffie】

[Identity: Imperial Princess]

【Age: 19】

[Strength: Sword Master]

【Relationship: 50】

[Appearance: 97]

【Special: 0】

Looking at the updated character information on the system, the corners of Li Changshou's mouth raised slightly, it was exactly as he imagined!
"System, this should be [Princess] among the five options at the beginning, right?"

To be honest, he never thought that he would meet [Princess] and [Nobleman] before, because from the photos, although these two exotic women made him salivate because of their beauty, he was in the Central Plains Dynasty.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to meet the two women.

But I didn't expect that just after leaving the capital and going to the south of the Yangtze River, he would meet the [princess]?
【Ding!Congratulations to the host for analyzing the origin of the hidden character, reward 10000 system points]

Sure enough, when he heard the reward from the system, Li Changshou communicated with him directly in his mind, and said with a smile, "System, are you giving me a reward in a different way?"

"Why don't you just cover it up and give me a few hundred million system points?"

He really wants to ascend from the land god to the realm of heaven and man as soon as possible. In addition, he is carrying the Nine Suns Saint Physique, so it is good to directly ascend to the Immortal Physique with enough points, right?
One cannot be selfish, and when he ascends to the Tao, he will naturally not forget the confidante around him.

If you want to ascend, you must ascend together.

【…】

It's a pity that the system directly ignored his beautiful proposal and chose to respond in silence.

In desperation, Li Changshou could only shake his head, "It seems that the system is still not humane enough for you, you have to make persistent efforts in the future, and strive to cooperate with me as soon as possible."

Although it was a joke, what if he was really tricked out?
It's not like there was no such precedent before, but unfortunately it didn't work this time.

"The other woman doesn't seem to be a [noble]."

On the system interface, in addition to the information of [Princess], the newly appeared information is not [Noble] among the options of the five peerless beauties. Of course, Li Changshou was not disappointed, so it doesn't matter.

The important thing is, enough flavor!
【Lilia Pendela】

[Identity: One of the Twelve Knights of the Empire, Earl]

【Age: 28】

[Battle Power: Juggernaut]

【Relationship: 50】

[Appearance: 92]

【Special: 0】

Although her appearance is not as good as [Princess], the evaluation given by the system is based on Li Changshou's aesthetic vision. A high score of 92 is enough to show that this girl's appearance is attractive enough.

In a word, basically all the women whom Li Changshou likes can't escape his clutches.

"System, what do Sword Master and Juggernaut mean? Can't the evaluation of combat power be unified? It will give people a headache."

Not surprisingly, Li Changshou had already guessed who Fang Chen had been beaten up before.

It should be the woman next to [Princess], she just saw that she was carrying a sword anytime and anywhere, she looked like a guard.

【Ding!The combat power assessment has been automatically updated and unified]

The response of the system was really fast, and it was improved immediately after Li Changshou complained.

It also allowed him to understand the strength of the opponent.

"A sword master is equivalent to an eighth-rank master?"

"A sword master is equivalent to a master realm?"

In this way, one can understand why Fang Chen would suffer, and in Lin'an City, the heir to the grandson of the Fang family would be bullied by foreigners from other countries.

This is when I met Qianglong and beat him, a local snake!
"Is it equivalent to the difference between a small grandmaster and a great grandmaster? It is true that ordinary people can't bargain for it."

Thinking of this, Li Changshou opened his eyes. Apart from him in the carriage, Fang Chen was carefully accompanying him. At this moment, he was still at a loss as to why Li Changshou saw someone and left instead of robbing him.

Thinking about it, like his stubborn and conservative grandfather, he also looked down on foreign women from other countries?

"You deserved to be beaten."

Li Changshou's unreasonable emotion made Fang Chen dumbfounded.

He couldn't get angry, so he could only ask with a bitter face: "What does your Highness mean?"

"Do you know the history of the guards around that woman?"

"Caomin has been inquired about by people, but they only know that she is Miss Yisha's cousin."

Fang Chen didn't know why, so he could only tell the news he found out, "But this woman is very ruthless, and the people Cao Min is looking for are not her opponents!"

"He is a master, do you have a master by your side?"

Li Changshou's words immediately made Fang Chen stunned.

Grandmaster?

Even a small grandmaster is a well-known figure in the Jianghu. Ordinary eighth- and ninth-rank masters will be moved by gold, silver and jewelry, but when they reach the realm of a grandmaster, few people will condescend to sacrifice their lives.

"The grassroots are incompetent, and the price of recruiting an expert at the master level is too high."

Fang Chen looked embarrassed and helpless, it wasn't that he hadn't thought of recruiting a strong person in the realm of a master, the Fang family actually had several masters, but they spent a lot of money to cultivate and recruit them.

Although he is the heir of the grandson, he still can't move many of the family's interests.

It is even more impossible to get a bargaining chip that can impress the grandmaster.

"That's why Gu Cai said that you deserved to be beaten."

Li Changshou's tone was not mocking, and Fang Chen could only pinch his nose and smile wryly, unable to refute, and then boldly asked: "Then Your Highness just now, did you have concerns about the people around Miss Yisha?"

Not like ah!
Fang Chen was very puzzled, he had already vaguely guessed that this royal nobleman in front of him was not easy, he could give him that kind of panacea, so that people who were not good at learning skills would suddenly increase their skills!

Will it be easy?

Before, he only knew three-legged cat kung fu, and his skill was also very poor, but now after taking the panacea, he is already comparable to a seventh-rank master!
Li Changshou didn't explain that if he wanted to rob the women, let alone the other party had only a guru to protect them.

Even if there are ten or eight masters around, he can snatch them back and become Mrs. Yazhai with a flick of his finger.

But in this way, it will be a lot less fun.

So after seeing the other person's appearance and understanding the origin and identity, he came up with a very good idea.

……

"Your Highness, this subordinate ordered people to inquire about the origins of these people."

Li Changshou looked at the secret report in front of the Yamen of the Jiedushi's Mansion in Lin'an City, and he was always at ease when the people of the Imperial City Division handled their affairs.

In just one day, there was progress under his instructions.

Although Guan Peng didn't understand why Li Changshou was suddenly interested in this kind of thing, he still said, "These people appeared in Lin'an City two months ago and entered the customs at the port of Qiantang County."

"On the surface, they are foreign merchants who came to this dynasty to do business. It's just that after the investigation of the low-ranking officials, it was discovered that although these people came to Lin'an City on the surface, they only dealt with some merchants, but secretly they had other actions."

A group of foreigners from foreign lands, although the Dagan Dynasty did not close the country to prohibit exchanges, but only allowed trade.

Any other actions will be regarded as a violation of the law, ranging from being driven out of the country to being arrested and severely tortured.

"The investigation of the humble job found that these people have been recruiting soldiers secretly, promising a lot of money to attract many people."

"And in the past two months, I found out that many people, including Zhang Junshou, have received benefits from the other party, so I issued a customs clearance document."

The so-called don't know if you don't check, you will be shocked when you check.

Normally, when foreigners from other countries come to do business, no one will meddle in their own business.

As long as they obeyed the law, it was fine, but the practice of secretly recruiting soldiers and even bribing court officials made people doubt the intention and purpose of this group of people.

"In addition, I also found out that these people have been trying to find out the secrets of the court, and even wanted to ask Zhang Junshou to give the customs clearance certificate to the capital. They had contact with Admiral Lu of Jiangdong Daying before, but they broke up unhappy. "

Guan Peng reported what he learned from his investigation one by one.

Li Changshou listened and looked at the secret report in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised with a smile and said, "Sure enough, people are very concerned, what do you think?"

"In my humble opinion, these people are definitely not ordinary foreign businessmen with malicious intentions. They appear here for another purpose, but I don't know what plans they have for the time being."

Guan Peng thought for a while, then expressed his thoughts, and then asked: "Your Highness, do you want to send people to arrest these people right now and torture them?"

"No, go and tell Mr. Zhang to take back all the foreign customs clearance documents that have been sent out!"

Li Changshou thought for a while and ordered, "In addition, tell the chambers of commerce in Lin'an City that the tax will be increased by ten times if you do business with Fanbang merchants in the future!"

Withdrawing the customs clearance certificate means that those who are from foreign countries will be unable to move an inch!
At most, they will walk around Qiantang County and Lin'an City. Once they cross the border, they will be arrested by officers and soldiers as refugees and spies and taken to prison.

On the other hand, increasing the tax rate will also cause the local chambers of commerce in Lin'an City to be tied up. Before the south of the Yangtze River was released by sea, they made a lot of money doing business with those foreign merchants, and each of them was very rich.

Now that the tax has been raised tenfold at once, if you continue to do business with foreign merchants, not to mention making money, you will have to pay for it!

Merchants seek profit, and without any mention, those people will turn their faces and deny people, and cut off business contacts with foreign merchants.

"promise!"

Regardless of Li Changshou's plans, Guan Peng immediately took orders.

……

In just two days, vendors of all sizes in Lin'an City saw the notice posted by the government.

Everyone was dumbfounded. The small traders were fine, but those rich merchants couldn't sit still.

Many of them are able to have their current wealth by doing business with foreign businessmen to make huge profits. Many of them have earned the wealth that they had only ten years ago in just one year.

Now the government is not going to cut off their money?
"What exactly is Master Zhang thinking?"

"Isn't this clearly forcing us not to do business?"

"Ten times the tax? Who can afford it?"

Many businessmen are about to cry, but the people don’t fight with the officials, so they can only ask people for information. Soon, someone finds out that the government will suddenly turn their backs, and behind their backs they will get away with the new Donghai Jiedu Envoy. No relationship.

Those merchants who were related to some aristocratic families in the south of the Yangtze River, or had a background in aristocratic families, quickly entrusted people to prepare generous gifts, hoping to express their sincerity.

Some people were smart enough to think that His Royal Highness Shou Wang was giving them eye drops.

Before, there were still some big families who were watching and did not take the initiative to give food to others. Now their attitudes have changed very quickly, and they are so generous that they only ask His Royal Highness Shouwang to forgive them.

However, the local merchants in Lin'an City can show their magical powers across the sea and find people to find connections.

But those foreign businessmen were dumbfounded.

"Princess, the people here are too dishonest!"

Inside the largest inn in Lin'an City, in one of the courtyards, a blonde woman was seen angrily and looked rather aggrieved.

The other blond woman showed a gentle smile, but persuaded: "Lilia, this is a foreign country after all."

"What should I do now? Could it be that the two months of hard work have been in vain?"

"You just said, what is the identity of the person who issued the new decree?"

Living in a foreign country, there are only a few people who can be trusted around her. Yisha sighed softly but did not give up hope easily.

"Princess, don't you want to meet him in person?"

"Didn't you find out that that person is the prince of this country? If that's the case, according to the etiquette, I should also pay a visit."

In this distant foreign country, the airs of the imperial princess are no longer so important.

After all, they have something to ask for now!
