Chapter 629 Undefeated Killing

Thinking of this, Kong Rui frowned secretly. !. This Zong Shou treats his courtiers so harshly, isn't he afraid that his subordinates will be alienated from him?

Officials dress like ordinary people, so how can they show the dignity of the court? How can he establish dignity among those grassroots?

What absurdity.

But listening to Wei Yuan, he said with a smile: "I don't know the patriarch, but you have always saved as much as you can on such useless expenses. But the strange thing is that the salary paid to us is extremely generous. .The lower official is in Qiantian, which is a position of the fourth grade. But one year's salary can support more than 3,000 people. I remember that I was appointed as the prime minister in the past two years. I jumped because of this, and cursed at you for not knowing how to manage money. "

Kong Rui was stunned again, one year's salary can support 3,000 people?

Look at Wei Yuan again, the robes he wears are ordinary. But the exposed inner collar of the underwear is clearly trimmed with a near thread. What he is wearing seems to be a high-quality spar finger. It should be polished with high-level beast crystals, and it can even be regarded as a spiritual weapon.

It seems that this person is really rich. The rest of them seem to have excellent looks, and it seems that most of them are like this, all of them are low-key luxury.

Shaking his head slightly, Kong Rui felt more and more that the Lord of Heaven was unfathomable.

Hearing this, not only didn't he let go of his heart, but on the contrary, he felt even more worried.

The salary of a fourth-rank official is so high, it is unimaginable to put it in a big business! He could only say indifferently: "Your country's system is really unique, and it is different from the vulgar."

Although it meant not to comment, it still carried a bit of sarcasm. That Wei Yuan laughed, and didn't care much.

At the beginning, he himself actually thought it was absurd. But it's nothing to get used to in the past two years.

I just complain secretly, there is no difference between high and low official positions. Sometimes in the street, the official etiquette and prestige cannot be displayed. They all wear the same robes, who knows what kind of official you are? Can't you get a plaque of the magistrate of Hongcheng and hang it on your head?

As for the ceremonial rules, there are no specific rules in Qiantian Mountain, you can do whatever you want. As long as you have money. It's okay to be more luxurious than the king.

He, Wei Yuan, is not stupid enough to fight for wealth with those wealthy businessmen.

But the salary is generous and the life is good. There is no need to run around giving gifts. There is no need to bother to scratch the money.

"The head of the country is wrong. You are the father of Concubine Yao, and you have been a member of our country since then. It should be said that you are the talent of our country!"

There was a pause in the voice, and Wei Yuan asked again: "I don't know the abbot, should we stay in Hongcheng for a while or rest, or go directly to Qiantian Mountain?"

When Kong Rui heard the words, he shook his head without hesitation: "Please also Mr. Wei Fu...Give me a carriage!"

Thinking of his daughter, he didn't want to delay for a moment, the sooner he saw Kong Yao, the better.

I also want to take a closer look at what this absurd king who has been recognized by Confucianism looks like.

The hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly, and Kong Rui touched his waist subconsciously.

It was a very small Qiankun bag, but it was inside at this time. But hidden a treasure.

King Wen hexagram money——

The ancient one. The relic of the person closest to the Holy Emperor is also one of the ancestors of the way of arithmetic.

It has been passed down by the Kong family, but because no one can use it, it is ignored by the tribe, and it is abandoned in the warehouse without seeing the sun.

He also got this thing by chance when he was playing in the warehouse when he was young. The algorithm of hexagrams has advanced by leaps and bounds, and he has become the number one person in the Confucian family.

This time, he made up his mind. Use these few treasures of King Wen to calculate the fate of this monarch. How exactly!

Wei Yuan seemed to have expected the urgency in his words, and nodded slightly: "Since that's the case, then I won't keep the head of the country anymore. The frame has already been prepared, and it's not far away. I'll be there now. Send the country head out of the city! But today's journey, I'm afraid it may be a little inconvenient, so I ask the country head to make some preparations."

After speaking, he made a 'please' gesture. Kong Rui followed his gaze, then frowned.

This is a convoy of fourteen cloud-turning carts, all pulled by tall and healthy horses.

The most luxurious one is astonishingly sixteen wind-riding steeds, among which the leading four horses are actually of the fourth rank. The body is inlaid with gold and jade, which is extremely luxurious. The rest of the carriages were slightly inferior, but there were more than eight horses, which seemed to be prepared for the servants he brought.

Just as Kong Rui was about to step out, he stopped again, his eyes full of suspicion.

"This is the government's regulations!"

Sixteen horses, four-level wind-riding horses. In the Great Shang Dynasty, only super-grade Dukes could use it. It seems that the cloud-turning car in front of me is already beyond the limit.

Wei Yuan was taken aback, at first he was puzzled. It took a moment for him to react. For a moment, I couldn't laugh or cry: "The head of the country doesn't need to care, I don't have the same rules as the big merchants in Tianshan!"

After speaking, he pointed to the distance again. Kong Rui heard the words and looked over, and then his eyes were both stunned and astonished.

I saw the streets beside the port, those running cloud-turning carts, and the beasts pulling the carts, there really were different numbers.

There were twelve horses, eighteen horses, and more than twenty. Tier 4 wind riding steeds are even more common.

"I am encouraging the folks to raise this kind of riding beast. The dragon horned and winged horse used by the Blood Cloud Cavalry is the best. Unfortunately, the total number is only 30,000. The second is the wind winged dragon beast, the silver scale wind treading beast and the purple horse. Winged lizards and these are again wind-riding horses. They can be used to pull carts and plow the land, and if they are strong enough, the court will allocate money to purchase them every year."

While explaining, Wei Yuan led Kong Rui on the cloud-turning cart. The family luggage brought by the latter is not a lot. In just half a quarter of an hour, the convoy started to leave.

Looking at the scenery in front of him, passing by the window one by one, Kong Rui's brows became more and more wrinkled, and he couldn't open them.

Everything in front of me is completely different from Da Shang, and the customs are also different from Da Miao.

Looking around the pier, Kong Rui's pupils shrank suddenly, and then he breathed out softly and said, "Mr. Weifu, we work in Tianshan, can a hard worker on the pier be so rich?"

Just now, he saw it with his own eyes. A few helpers seemed to be ready to practice, when they left, they took off their dusty coats, but they were wearing brocade clothes inside. A few people were talking and laughing, their attitudes were open-minded and at ease, and they didn't have the misery of a coolie.

Wei Yuan heard this, but he didn't know why, and he felt a little bit bitter: "It was never like this before, but now people in my east are not willing to work. Naturally, these people have a better life. They can only work for five hours a day. , not only the wages are enough, but also food and drink. Life and death, old age and sickness, have to be supported, how can this day be bad?"

What Kong Rui heard was not knowing why, these words seemed to be full of complaints and sufferings.

Fortunately, Wei Yuan didn't let him be confused: "About a year and a half ago, Jun let go of private hunting. He even built several strongholds under the sea of ​​clouds. Thousands of people, one can float in the air. You can go in and out of the sea of ​​clouds at will, hunt crystal beasts, and most of the time you will return with full rewards. As long as you have a little talent in martial arts, you can get huge sums of money in a year or two. In this way, if all the people go to practice martial arts, who will be willing? To do hard work?"

Then he snorted coldly and said, "Originally, I wanted to rule the Tianshan Mountains to the east, and there were countless manpower in the cities in the east. But those councilors were coerced by the people, and the people who killed the people in the cities that were not directly under the Central Government were not allowed to work in Hongcheng. Now the East Lin, I'm afraid there are not two hundred cities under the direct control of Yuqianjun? But they are all blocked by these guys. If this continues, how can I, the Hongcheng ship merchant, have anything to say? In the area, the rest of the ports are also staring at each other!"

Kong Rui shook his head, but he still understood a little bit. At this time, he was even more confused.

However, when other people establish a country, they can't wait to bring all the vassals under their own control. How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? What is on the plate cannot be eaten

Great Shang Taizu, but it took a full thirty years to wipe out the feudal towns in the territory.

However, this Qiantian Mountain is strange. It seems that those vassal cities are begging to be under the jurisdiction of Qiantian Mountain. But the king didn't care much about it. Let the subordinates mess around.

It is also possible to vaguely hear Wei Yuan's contempt and sense of superiority towards the eastern part of Yunlu.

It's about like a person from a big business, looking eastward.

It's just that Hongcheng seems to have enough capital. And Dashang——

His thoughts were stopped in time, and Kong Rui didn't want to think about it. This dry Tianshan can be compared with their big merchants——

Simply incredible!

The carriage continued to move forward and entered the lane. It is all made of a piece of Qingfeng stone that is more than ten feet wide, so that the speed of the cloud-turning car is extremely fast, and it is out of the dock in a short time.

But after entering the urban area, it gradually slowed down. Sometimes after a long time, it will move.

Kong Rui raised his eyebrows. Although there is a lot of traffic here, he only saw it when he saw it. Chi Daoxiu is extremely wide, it can accommodate ten cloud-turning cars in parallel, how can it be so congested?

Can't see clearly from the car window, Kong Rui paced out of the car, and then looked around.

Only then did I know why, I saw dense figures sitting in the street in front of me.

Occupy most of the lanes, leaving only a small area to pass through.

At this time, I finally understood why the magistrate said that all the people in the yamen had been dispatched. When I went out of the city today, I had some inconvenient words, what did they mean?

Beside the crowd, countless yamen servants and some officials stood helplessly under the scorching sun, guarding the crowd. There are also some soldiers who maintain nearby.

It's just that they don't use weapons, but sticks.

"What is this doing?"

Kong Rui was really curious.

"These are people who drive around in the city, and they don't want to work, so they sit here quietly!"

Wei Yuan gritted his teeth, seeming to be filled with resentment: "Do they dislike the wages, or are they too little? That's all, but these days, they never stop. If they don't work, they can go elsewhere, but they want hold the way."

Kong Rui was stunned for a moment: "Are these people fighting against the government?"

Why didn't such unruly people kill them early and disperse them? To be continued. .
