God Catch starts with adding points

"Then let them rest for ten days and a half months, and wait for news from the Yanshan Salt Mine." Lu Bai said.

Gu Qinghuan asked him to carefully make wedding dresses for others.

Is it the king's land in the whole world, is it the king's minister on the shore of the land, if this salt mine is in Lu Bai's hands, it will belong to the court.Now there are people in Neishutang who can't hide it even if they want to.

Lu Bai was surprised, "Then who owns this salt mine now?"

"Now? Of course it belongs to monsters." Gu Qinghuan said.

Hey!

Lu Bai was convinced.

In the hands of the monster, what belongs to the monster becomes the emperor's in his hands.

"If you put it that way, I get it."

Lu Bai decided to occupy the salt mine and give it to the chatterers, so that they can be the masters in name. Although it will always belong to private salt, it won't be taken away.

Chapter 268 Li Jinzhong

In fact, the emperors of the Southern Dynasties did not just start with salt taxes or salt mines.

Long before handing over the salt business to Xichang, the emperor borrowed eunuchs to develop many ways to make money for money, one of which was to send mine supervisors and tax envoys to various places to collect taxes.

Although it is called a mining tax, it is actually more than that.

There are tax inspectors, pearl inspectors, tea inspectors, road inspectors, and even fish inspectors—in short, there are supervision and collection taxes for all purposes.

The Yanjian is already the last bastion of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

It is also broken now.

It is conceivable that if Lu Bai wants to hold the salt mine in his hands and not hand it over to the court, it is almost tantamount to treason.

Even in the hands of monsters, Lu Bai has to keep a low profile.

A month flies by.

Originally, the day of the salt tax was approaching, and Jin Yiwei's focus should have gone to Yongle City to buy official or private salt.

But this time Jin Yiwei was indifferent.

Lu Bai just sent people sporadically to buy some official salt, which was enough for the common people.

In addition, before the arrival of Xichang father-in-law, Lu Bai chose to sell all the private salt left by Jin Yiwei and the admiral last year at a low price-although he didn't make much money, but he could make the people grateful and serve his God. It is enough to add some incense to the temple.

For the rest, Lu Bai chose to wait and see what happened.

On this day, they got the news that the admiral of the East Factory and the father-in-law of the West Factory were going to Yancheng, so Lu Bai stood at the gate of the Shangcheng District to greet them with the City Lord.

All the hundreds of households and the three magistrates in Yancheng also came.

Behind Gu Chengzhu, there are three prefects, with Lu Zhifu as the head.

Behind Lu Bai, there are several hundreds of households.

While waiting, Lu Zhifu looked at Lu Bai's back——

A year ago, he was arrogant to Lu Bai, but he never imagined that he was standing behind Lu Bai now.

Destiny!

Really good fortune.

Standing on the stone bridge in front of the gate of Shangcheng District, Lu Bai saw two groups of people walking in two long lines, like snakes, coming from a distance.

Many people in the lower city came out of the workshop and stood at the entrance of the alley to watch these people.

Lu Bai and City Lord Gu looked at each other.

The place is huge.

The east factory is on the left, and the west factory is on the east.

The admiral on the left is a white-browed eunuch with a kind face and many wrinkles on his face. Behind him are four or five Jinyiwei, followed by some servants and serving eunuchs.

Contrary to Lu Bai's expectations, the father-in-law on the right is much younger, about 30 years old.

He has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a dignified appearance, and I don't know how many onlookers' hearts are moved by Gu Pan, but it's a pity that he is an eunuch.

Lu Bai and the others took a few steps forward.

The people from the East and West factories got off their horses.

The handsome father-in-law of Xichang bowed his hands, "Li Jinzhong from Neishutang, I have met Uncle Guo and Lu Qianhu."

The one-eyed eunuch of the East Factory waited for Li Jinzhong to say hello, then smiled and cupped his hands, and reported himself to Shen and his family.

When the realm is high, you can see the difference immediately when you look at people.

Although this admiral, Shen Xingxing, is in the Qi refining stage, it can be seen that his old body is declining and his life is disappearing. He is panting after walking a few steps. He is probably here to provide for the elderly and act as the emperor's eyes and ears by the way.

He obviously followed Li Jinzhong's lead.

After all, the salt affairs have been handed over to Xichang, and the previous admiral's responsibility to check illegal salt is no longer there.

When Lu Bai glanced at Shen Xingxing, he suddenly felt eyes resting on his face. Turning his head to look, Li Jinzhong was looking at him with great interest. Nod down.

Before Lu Bai could reply, he suddenly pulled out a yellow scroll from his sleeve, "Imperial decree!"

You don't need to kneel to receive the order, you can just bend down and listen. As for the content, it is about the transfer of City Lord Gu to Stone City Lord.

This is not unusual.

What is strange is that later, the imperial decree announced that after the transfer of the city lord Gu, the position of the city lord will be temporarily replaced by Lu Zhifu.

Although he is acting as a proxy, Lu Bai knows that it will take a few years before he will become the city lord of Yancheng. The reason why he is not now is no wonder that he does not have enough qualifications. After all, it has only been two years since Prefect Lu became the magistrate.

Lu Bai sighed, as expected of a member of the Lu family, this promotion is really fast!

Lu Zhifu was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed.

He glanced at Lu Bai from the corner of his eye, unexpectedly he was on top of Lu Bai again, although he was almost on the same level, the city lord was nominally a head above Lu Bai.

This fate.

What a trick.

Prefect Lu sighed.

He received the order with City Lord Gu and thanked Lord Long En.

The rest of the decree was just to hand over the salt affairs to the West Factory, etc. Lu Bai thought that there would be no big surprises, but he never expected that there would be bigger surprises later. "From now on, the original salt tax will be abolished, and the tax reform will be reformed. After we have a detailed understanding of Yancheng, we will come up with a charter." Li Jinzhong said.

Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, does this abolish the salt tax?

Weird.

But that's okay, not to mention the strict salt tax, transporting it from Yongle City and then transporting it away is also a troublesome matter.

It's good to be scrapped now.

It's just that Lu Bai has a bad premonition, he always feels that this tax reform is going to cause big trouble, and he faintly feels that it is better not to change it.

After the decree is read, all that remains is greetings.

Li Jinzhong seemed to be very interested in Lu Bai, "I heard in the capital that there was a genius in Yancheng Jinyiwei who entered the realm of cultivating immortals at a young age. Now that I see it, Lu Qianhu really deserves his reputation."

Lu Bai said modestly: "Master Li is absurd. When Mr. Li was at my age, I'm afraid he would have already stepped into the realm of cultivating immortals."

He could tell that this Li Jinzhong was of a high level.

If you don't complete the Qi training period, you will be within the mountain range, so you must not underestimate others. People who have come into contact with superb skills these days will enter the fairyland at about the same age as Lu Bai.

Li Jinzhong smiled slightly when he heard Lu Bai's words, "I borrowed the convenience of the exercises, unlike Lu Qianhu, who climbed up step by step by myself."

He suggested that they have the opportunity to compete and learn from each other.

Lu Bai nodded in agreement.

He is not afraid of exposing the fact that he is in the sky-shattering realm, because he will not reveal it at all, he only needs to switch the cultivation method to pure yang.

With the help of the Realm Improvement Card to raise the realm, and all the kung fu techniques have been upgraded by one layer, Lu Bai Chunyang has been promoted to the Qi Refining Stage.

Just in line with the realm where people think he should be.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, everyone returned to Shangcheng District. The city lord's mansion had already set up a banquet, and they were just waiting to welcome them.

The banquet was very lively, with continuous flutes, songs and dances, and drinking water. The dancing girls had graceful postures, their waists twisted like snakes, and their curves were moving. However, many of them were eunuchs.

Until midnight, everyone dispersed.

Lu Bai returned to Qianhu Mansion drunk.

For some reason, Li Jinzhong was very enthusiastic about him, he kept calling him for drinks, and chatted with him, and inadvertently said a few clever words. Talk bald.

Lu Bai took a sip of strong tea to rinse his mouth, "He won't be interested in me, will he?"

Maybe the Chrysanthemum Book has other additional effects, for example, the chrysanthemum must be unblocked.

"Who can see you, don't dream."

When Lu Qinghuan said it, he felt that something was wrong, didn't he say it to her.

She paused and said, "I don't think he's coming for you."

Of course, this is just unfounded speculation.

Lu Bai nodded, he thought it was possible.

"The abolition of the salt tax is also weird."

Lu Bai took another sip of tea.

Gu Qinghuan helped to take off his coat, which smelled of alcohol.

While busy, Gu Qinghuan said: "What's so weird about this? You forgot that the salt tax in Yancheng was originally given to Yiqiu Villa. Now that their people have become the city lords, of course they don't need to set up names to collect money."

If there is a demand for money collection, the status of the city lord can help Yiqiu Villa collect a lot, and there is no need for such a troublesome tax item as the salt tax.

Lu Bai suddenly understood.

"So, the Lu family has also benefited a lot from the transfer of the city lord?" he asked.

Gu Qinghuan nodded, "It's natural."

If it wasn't so, how could the transfer of Gu Chengzhu be so smooth? The Lu family would definitely obstruct it.

Lu Bai shook his head.

Although he claims to be smart and good at using his brain when deciding cases, he still thinks that being an official is quite a mental job, and he has to calculate everywhere, or he will be betrayed by others accidentally.

"By the way, City Lord Gu didn't say when to leave?" Gu Qinghuan shook the clothes that Lu Bai had taken off, and put them on the chair next to him.

"About ten days later." Lu Bai said.

Gu Cheng mainly handed over to Lu Zhifu before he could set off on the road.

City Lord Gu stayed in Yancheng for quite a long time, and probably had a lot of things. They had to go to Yongle City first, and then take the waterway, which was convenient and fast.

Lu Bai was thinking about whether to introduce Shunfeng Warehouse to him.

It's convenient for him.

Second, money is convenient.

Gu Qinghuan nodded and did not speak again.

At this time, the maid came in and brought a basin of footwashing water to wash Lu Bai's feet.

Accompanying Lu Bai to become thousands of households and enter the manor, it is not enough to rely on the original Yu Shuang and others, so they added a lot of maids.

It's just that Lu Bai has been miserable in his two lifetimes, and he hasn't enjoyed any blessings yet, so he's not used to being served by others.

He asked the maid to put down the basin, and he could do it himself.

Gu Qinghuan waved his hand and told the maid to go down.

"I'll go to the city lord's mansion tomorrow to have a look. I think they may have more deals than that," she said.

The admiral of Dongchang placed the Jinyi guards he brought with him next to Lu Bai.

One is Xu Laifeng, whose realm is at the second rank, because the seat of Deputy Qianhu in the Qianhu Office was still vacant, so he parachuted into this seat.There were also two hundred households, who also filled the vacant seats.
