Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

"I heard that the prince will not return to the court to receive the reward for the time being!?"

"Are you trying to resist the decree?!"

"What do you know? The prince wants to really rectify Xiangjun!"

"Do you think Xiang County can be rectified so easily!? What if the five major families fall? Are those squire and landlords really obedient?!"

"No matter what, all the squires and landowners are now paying the autumn tax according to the rules. This is the first time Xiang County has seen it in three hundred years."

The news that Zhou Zheng will not return to Beijing for the time being has already become the focus of everyone's discussion in Xiang County.

After all, wouldn't it be painful to return to the imperial capital at this time, receive a reward, and be famous for eternity? !

But Zhou Zheng refused!

No matter what the reason was for Zhou Zheng, this was a bit unbelievable to everyone.

"Boss, we've taken care of everything. This time, we really made a fortune!"

At the same time, in Zhou Zheng's mansion, Zhou Ping looked excited.

Not only Zhou Ping, it can be said that everyone present was very excited. Even a woman like Gong Tan, who had always been shy, looked a little flushed at this time.

"Is this what it is?!"

Seeing the appearance of these people who had never seen the world before, Zhou Zheng pursed his lips, obviously not taking them seriously.

But Zhou Zheng's brows raised slightly and his eyes fell on Zhou Ping's actions were still clearly seen by Su Xun'er and others.

Obviously, Zhou Zheng said he was not moved, but his body was quite honest.

"Prince, I have copied a total of more than 50,000 gold, 10 million taels of silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, farm deeds and countless more..."

Taking a deep breath, Mu Qingwan tried her best to keep her tone as calm as possible, but when she said this sentence, even though she had practiced it dozens of times, she still couldn't help but tremble!

Hiss, hiss! ! !

Hearing this number, Zhou Zheng was mentally prepared, but his heart was still beating wildly, and he even couldn't move his legs!

Fifty thousand taels of gold, ten million taels of silver, countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings, rare treasures, house deeds and land deeds! ?

What a concept!

Even the current treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty does not have this amount of money available.

As for the others, they were swallowing their saliva!

When the five major families were killed and the officialdom of Xiang County was bloodbathed, no one had such a reaction!

"This time, I really made a fortune!"

"The five major families really left us a great gift."

After a long time, Zhou Zheng calmed himself down a little, and his eyes shone with light.

He knew that the five major families were rich, but he did not expect that the five major families were so rich.

Even though this also included the confiscation of the homes of some officials, it was obvious that the five major families were the core and focus.

But think about it, the five major families have been in Xiang County for three hundred years, so they naturally have a strong foundation.

It's a pity that the five major families will never think that the family wealth accumulated for hundreds of years will be taken away by Zhou Zheng in detail.

"By the way, everyone has worked hard during this time. If you should reward everyone, don't be stingy."

Feeling the fiery gazes of everyone, Zhou Zheng waved his hand.

Mu Qingwan also understood it.

Back in the land of Beihai, Zhou Zheng had already acted boldly once when he secretly spent millions of taels of silver, let alone now.

Hearing Zhou Zheng's decision, Lan Xi, who had been silent, nodded secretly.

She didn't know how much money Zhou Zheng would pay for the 10,000 elites he brought, but it was quite difficult to say so.

Because only in this way can these ten thousand elites be more dedicated to Zhou Zheng in the future!

"Prince, shouldn't this be handed over to the court?"

Gu Jiang was a little confused and quickly spoke to signal Zhou Zheng.

Although he was greedy for money and lustful, he did not dare to act recklessly in such matters.

Because of this, although he is the governor of Xiang County, he is far from being rich and powerful.

The reason why he reminded him aloud was because Zhou Zheng had just resisted the decree and now he wanted to divide the money. No matter how good-tempered the court was, they would not be able to bear it.

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Ping stared at Gu Jiang, feeling like he wanted to swallow him!

He has seen Zhou Zheng's generosity before, and this time he must be even more generous than in Beihai!

Since Zhou Ping followed Zhou Zheng, he has never had the feeling of being able to use earth like gold. If Gu Jiang's words make him lose money, he will definitely skin Gu Jiang alive.

As expected, not only Zhou Zheng, but also others.

Even if they continue to work for Zhou Zheng and have the same heart as Zhou Zheng, who will have trouble with money?

Especially Lei Tong and others, they are all too aware of the difficulties of those generals.

They are marching and fighting, far away from their wives and children, and now they have come all the way from the north and there is no military pay. What will they do if they can't even get any money from life to death! ?

I don’t even dare to go to a brothel to find a woman!

Seeing that Gu Jiang was usually very smart, why did he suddenly become confused? !

Sensing the sharp looks in everyone's eyes, Gu Jiang's heart flashed and he quickly shrank his head and said nothing.

"I have paid all the autumn taxes this time, which is already a great achievement."

Zhou Zheng smiled and then continued.

"Of course, I have already taken the initiative to report the matter to the five major families, Your Majesty."

"The total is one thousand five hundred taels of gold and two million taels of silver. All will be handed over after a period of time."

Zhou Zheng's words made everyone who was originally worried let out a long sigh of relief, and then their faces became hot.

Gu Jiang's face twitched. He had seen greedy people before, but he had never seen Zhou Zheng so greedy.

Yes, there was a lot of money handed over to the court, but it was not even the slightest bit worse than the real data!

He is really not afraid! ?

But this time Gu Jiangxue was smarter. He was just a little guy and had no right to speak.

As long as you focus on following Zhou Zheng, the rest is none of his business.

......

Dazhou, Kyoto.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are too arrogant!"

Above the court, Liu Fu and others attacked Zhou Zheng on the spot.

"That's right, Your Majesty, the prince went on a killing spree in Xiang County, and blood flowed like a river!"

"Not only did he kill innocent people indiscriminately, he even fell on court officials. This is simply insane!"

"Now people in Xiang County are in panic, and the people are living in a state of fire. If this continues, there will be chaos!"

"Now the prince is even more disobedient and disrespectful. He doesn't take the court and his majesty into his eyes. This is intolerable!"

Countless officials came out to denounce Zhou Zheng's crazy behavior.

No one mentioned Zhou Zheng's merits, and directly described Zhou Zheng as a heinous sinner!

Looking at this scene, Sima Cheng sneered in his heart, but his eyes were filled with extreme disappointment.

For the sake of their own interests, this group of people even deliberately pushed the prince to death. Are they really the parents of the common people? I can really share the worries of the Holy One! ? Is he really the mainstay of the imperial court?

At this moment, Sima Cheng could no longer listen to what everyone was saying.

He only had one thought: these people were hopeless.

But what makes Sima Cheng most distressed is that His Majesty above did not stop him in the face of these unbridled accusations.

His calmness is undoubtedly encouraging those guys' evil tendencies!

"Can such a court really give the people hope?"
