    :.

    As expected by Zhao Zongyang, when the second prince heard these words, he was stunned and his eyes turned green.

    It has been a long time since his cultivation level has increased. Even on the way to Yanbei, the second prince kept trying, but the result was as if it had completely stagnated, motionless as a mountain.

    Originally, when he came to Yanbei this time, he wanted to help his father with things, take the opportunity to raise his own status, and grab some power. On the other hand, the second prince also had his own plans. He felt that there was someone in the world today who could think of a way to make him more powerful.  Perhaps Zhao Zongyang is the only one who has improved his cultivation level.

    "This boy must have some special skills. He has obtained all kinds of top-quality elixirs. Maybe he can get both wealth and wealth by relying on the Princess of Zhou. God, it's so unfair.

    ***, speaking of it, in what way am I not better than him?  Why is he so happy all day long?  It¡¯s probably because Princess Da Zhou has a problem with her aesthetic sense, or because she hasn¡¯t seen a truly outstanding man.

    If you see Gu, you might change your mind

    The second prince felt fiercely in his heart, and then said to Zhao Zongyang with a grimace: "Hey, I can't help but pick up the pot. The second brother is very miserable now, and his cultivation level has not improved for a long time."

    "No, with the talent of the second brother, even if I dare not say that it is unprecedented, it can at least be said to be a once-in-a-million-year event." Zhao Zongyang was laughing to death in his heart, but on the surface he looked extremely confused:  "Besides, my second brother's cultivation increased a while ago. How would that be earth-shattering?"

    "Who says it's not the case? My progress back then was nothing short of amazing." The second prince suddenly felt better about himself. However, when he thought of the current situation, he couldn't help but frown again and shook his head: "Hey, now I'm stuck in a bottleneck.  "

    The bottleneck of this fart, that's the end of it for you. Zhao Zongyang tried his best to hold back the laughter in his heart, and said seriously: "Hey, the growth of every super genius will be accompanied by thorns and ups and downs, and the greater the achievements in the future will be."  Brother, I have reached such a critical moment now, which means that I will soar to the sky soon."

    These words made the second prince feel so happy that he felt like he was floating.

    "Zong Yang, we two brothers, let's not say any polite words. As the old saying goes, as long as the second brother is still here and I have a bite to eat, I will never let you go hungry." The second prince paused, licking his face and said:  "By the way, do you have any magical elixirs there?"

    After wandering around for a long time, I finally got to the point. Mr. Marquis doesn¡¯t believe you can really be so calm.

    "Elixirs? I originally had some, but you also know, second brother, that my expenses are high, and money is very tight now." Zhao Zongyang's words made the second prince dizzy: Damn, I asked you if you have any elixirs.  Doesn't it matter whether you are tight on money or not?

    This guy is just greedy, he just knows how to ask for a price

    However, this made him firmly believe that Zhao Zongyang had something in hand, so he said with a big mouth that if Zhao Zongyang didn't get any benefit at all and gave it away for free every time, he would suspect that there was something wrong with it.

    "Second brother, it's not easy for you to be in charge. Yanbei is a mess again. It costs a lot of money in every aspect." The second prince endured the pain and said, "Brother is in trouble. Naturally, I, the elder brother, can't let it go. But you also know  , The second brother has no money now. All the belongings put together are not worth much. But if you like it, you can take as much as you want."

    Damn it, are you sending someone begging for food?  Times have changed now. The days when you were so rich are gone forever. All your possessions now combined are not enough for the Marquis to fill his teeth.

    "Why are you so embarrassed to ask for Second Brother's money? Everyone's life is tight. It's not easy. Brother, I can't do this." Zhao Zongyang changed the subject and said: "But I have an idea. Second Brother, you also know that now Yanbei County  The war is in turmoil, which is the place to use force. The finances are very tight. My second brother is here as an imperial envoy to inspect this time. Why don't you write a memorial to your majesty and tell him about the situation here. I believe that your majesty will be able to understand the public opinion and tell our  Taxes are reduced¡±

    Hearing this, the second prince was stunned and cursed in his heart: Damn it, you still said "I can't do this", you are really ruthless, you actually focused on taxation.

    For so many years, the three major families have enriched their own pockets and engaged in various illegal activities, but there is one bottom line that has never been broken through. That is, in terms of tax payment, it is not only a source of income for a dynasty, but importantly, it represents  The emperor's control over the region

    "I also know that this matter is quite difficult, but there is really no way, it is too difficult." Zhao Zongyang said in a blank voice: "Everything depends on my second brother. If this matter can be successfully solved, I will definitely try my best.  Help my second brother get the elixir. I heard recently that there is a magical elixir that can instantly upgrade people to three levels."

    ? ???When he heard any talk about upgrading, the second prince's mind became a little fanatical: For Gu, the most important thing is cultivation. Only when the cultivation level goes up, can he inherit the throne. The current country is not mine, I  Why are you worrying so much?  It's a favor, give it away if you can, who cares? If I can't inherit the throne in the future, and I can't make it easier for the prince to live in Yanbei County and become a kingdom, I'll be relieved to see it.

    If I succeed to the throne, will Zhao Zongyang still appreciate me as his second brother?  Therefore, the most important thing is the key to getting higher and higher, which is cultivation.

    "Okay, I'll try my best to help my brother." The second prince thought of this and agreed: "But I can't guarantee whether my father can grant permission."

    "That's it, that's it." Zhao Zongyang kept smiling, but he made up his mind: Regardless of whether Zhao Tianyun will pass the tax exemption application, Yanbei County's taxes will no longer be handed over to the court.

    The exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes imposed over the years have been so numerous that they have forced many people to lose their families. Where did these taxes go?  Either eating and drinking, or giving gifts to friendly countries. Instead of squandering like this, it is better to reduce the burden on the common people, only collect some basic taxes, and let the Marquis personally control it, and use the good steel on the blade.

    If the imperial court wants to pursue the case, it can take the second prince out to support him. Then he will create some public opinion and put a high hat on the second prince, saying that he, an imperial envoy, understands the public sentiment and makes decisions when the opportunity arises to give Yanbei tax exemption.

    "We two brothers, regardless of each other, just want to cooperate sincerely and share what we have with each other." The second prince was still complacent at this moment, thinking that by just writing a memorial, he could cheat the pills and occupy Zhao Zongyang's big house.  Ziyi had no idea that he had been plotted by Zhao Zongyang to the point where he was no longer a scumbag.

    "Okay, now that the official business is over, the next step is the personal relationship between our brothers." The second prince laughed and said, "As a landlord, you have to take your second brother to have some fun in Yanbei City. Which restaurant is the best?"

    The "restaurant" he refers to naturally does not refer to a place for simply eating, but for drinking wine. During this period of time, he has been worrying about cultivation and has not bothered to enjoy life. Now that he has confidence in his heart, his thoughts are active again.  opened

    "Brothers rarely go to such occasions, and I don't know much about it." Zhao Zongyang's answer made the second prince so shocked that he almost couldn't sit still: Damn it, you have the nerve to say that you rarely go to such places?  In the twelve years you have been in Kaiyuan City, was there any day when you did not live and drink?  When I got here, I started to pretend to be cool.

    "Actually, the second brother rarely goes to such messy places, but that kind of place is a mixed bag of good and bad, and there is a lot of information. In order to understand the public sentiment, I have to make some sacrifices." The second prince had a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude, and he was impassioned.

    Zhao Zongyang was speechless and sighed: "In this case, even if it is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I will accompany my second brother for a walk."

    Yanbei City is now a place where people meet. The more this kind of place is, the more developed certain industries are. Especially the brothel industry, which is about to become a pillar industry. Not only because of the chaos of war, which makes people feel depressed, but also because of the current situation.  The idea of ??getting drunk is because there are so many dignitaries coming and going here, and it is a distribution center for information.

    The most famous brothel in Yanbei City is naturally the Zuixiang Building. Not to mention the price, ordinary people just filled the door with gold. If you don't have a high enough status, you can't even think of entering.

    ??The most powerful people in Yanbei City are received here. It is said that the nobles of the Zhou Dynasty also like to come here to have fun once they enter Yanbei City.

    ?????????????????????????????????? It¡¯s really like a bond of ¡°friendship¡± between the two peoples

    Zhao Zongyang kept a low profile this time. After all, it was better not to make any noise when going to a place like this; but the second prince was different. He had had enough of a "low-key" life a while ago, and now he finally became an imperial envoy and had a lot of pomp.  I just wish I could beat gongs and drums along the way to show his presence.

    Coming out of the Hou Mansion and all the way to Zuixiang Tower, Zhao Zongyang deliberately kept a low profile and cooperated with the second prince's fanfare. The result was that Zhao Zongyang seemed like the second prince's follower.

    ??Zuixianglou has to look at the status of strangers. Zhao Xun took out the badge of Shunhou Mansion, which immediately made Zuixianglou boil: Shunhou is here.

    This news immediately spread throughout Zuixianglou

    In the most luxurious private room upstairs, there were two young men with extraordinary bearing. They faintly heard the news of Shunhou's arrival from downstairs, and looked at each other with cold smiles.

    "The toad who covets our Princess Touye is here?"

    "Hmph, I must give him a good look."

    The two of them pushed open the window, looked down, and saw Zhao Zongyang and his entourage at a glance. What impressed them most was naturally the high-profile and active second prince. On the contrary, Zhao Zongyang, who acted in a low-key manner, was treated as an ordinary follower and passed over.

      "This guy actually dares to steal the girl of our dreams?" The two gritted their teeth and looked at the second prince from a distance, clenching their fists tightly: "If I don't let him live a life worse than death, I swear I will not be a human being." To be continued  )
