Zhao Changqing traveled to the end of the Huaihe River before arriving at Yunshan, and this Yunshan was within the territory of Changzhou Prefecture.

Later historians recorded based on the memories of nearby residents that a fire suddenly fell on Yunshan Mountain and burned for seven days. All vegetation, bamboo, rocks, and wild animals on the mountain were turned into scorched earth.

Changzhou City is not far from Yangzhou City on Huainan Road.

Yangzhou City was Li Ziyuan's hometown, so Xiao Yuming wanted to pay homage to the old husband who had devoted his life to improving the poor family, and planned to resign to Zhao Changqing in a few days.

After Zhao Changqing found out, he did not immediately agree to the matter. Instead, he waited for the affairs in the south to be settled and then gave Xiao Yuming a few days off to go to Yangzhou.

Since you have come to Jiangnan Road, you must see the world-famous Suzhou City.

Isn’t there a saying that says there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below?

Zhao Changqing doesn't know whether the Suzhou City here will be more stunning than the Suzhou City in the previous life.

I heard that one of the top aristocratic families in the Wei Kingdom, the Wang family, is located in Suzhou.

Zhao Changqing has no grudge against the Wang family, but he also wants to blackmail the Wang family severely.

After the army entered the city, Zhao Changqing came to Taihu Lake immediately.

The entire West Lake was instantly surrounded by soldiers.

There are flower boats and brothels in and beside Taihu Lake, which is a major feature of Suzhou.

The brothels here are all allowed by the government.

Suzhou's culture is very prosperous.

After hearing that the emperor had come to Taihu Lake, the scholars in Suzhou City wanted to pay homage to this wise emperor, but they were blocked by the soldiers surrounded by Taihu Lake.

However, some people received the news early and waited patiently in brothels for the emperor's arrival.

Now when I look at it from a distance and see its tall and straight figure, I feel very lucky.

It's really strange in the brothel today. A group of dignitaries and scholars came here, but they didn't come to look for flowers. Not only that, in addition to the prostitutes, there were also a group of ladies from all walks of life in the brothel, all wanting to see the holy face.

What if you are lucky enough to be spotted by the emperor?

But it’s just a meteoric rise!

However, a few talented women dismissed this. They did not want to come but were forced to come by their families.

However, when they heard more and more people around them talking about His Majesty's achievements and the only poem he had ever written, they became more and more curious about His Majesty the Emperor.

I was even impressed by some of the things he did.

His Majesty, the emperor standing beside Taihu Lake and looking at the scenery, has actually done so many things for the country of Wei and the people of the world. He is truly worthy of being a wise king.

I am fortunate in this life to grow up under the rule of a wise king.

Zhao Changqing didn't know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him in the entire Taihu Lake. When he came here, he just wanted to see the scenery everywhere, so he didn't let his soldiers clear the place.

But...the scenery of Taihu Lake seems to be not much different from the previous life!

It's just a little bigger and wider than the one in the previous life.

The Suzhou prefect wanted to see Zhao Changqing, but Zhao Yun drove him out.

Your Majesty did not say whom to summon, and no one can come even close to Your Majesty.

Zhao Changqing called Zhao Yun and said: "Zilong, let the soldiers rest on the spot. It is said that the night view of Taihu Lake is good. The prostitutes in the city will show off their skills at night, which can feast the eyes of the soldiers."

Zhao Yun made a 'promise'.

Then Zhao Changqing said: "Call the head of the Wang family here. I have something to ask him."

Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said, "I will personally send someone to call you now."

Zhao Changqing nodded.

After about half a stick of incense had passed, Wang Ye, the head of the Wang family, came alone.

After being led by someone, he came to Zhao Changqing's back and knelt down.

Zhao Yun said softly behind Zhao Changqing: "Your Majesty, the head of the Wang family is here."

After Zhao Changqing heard this, he just nodded and did not respond.

He is currently sitting on the futon next to the steps concentrating on fishing.

Wang Ye knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Wang Ye, the common man, comes to see Your Majesty."

In this way, Zhao Changqing still said nothing and was still concentrating on fishing.

After holding on for about half a stick of incense, Zhao Changqing saw the fishing line move and immediately pulled up the bamboo pole, only to find that the bait had been eaten by the fish, but the fish was gone.

It’s really shameful that we waited for so long but didn’t catch any fish.

He threw the fishing rod aside angrily, stretched, and said to the head of the Wang family behind him: "Look, I found the fattest bait for all the fish in the lake, why didn't they take the bait?

After taking the bait, you still want to run away, you think it's irritating or not."

Really, Zhao Changqing really didn't mean anything else when he said these words.

However, if you say such words at this point in time, can you prevent others from thinking wildly?

Wang Ye was shocked when he heard the sound. After a while, he was sweating profusely. He swallowed his saliva and said with trembling fear: "Your Majesty, maybe the fish in this lake are blind to Mount Tai."

Woolen cloth?"

This sentence is barely flattering.

Zhao Changqing felt good after hearing this, smiled and said to him: "What is your name?"

Wang Ye wiped the big beads of sweat on his face and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the ordinary people call Wang Ye."

"Wang Ye?" Zhao Changqing recited the name again and said with a smile: "Why, being the head of a noble family can't satisfy you? Do you want to be a prince?"

No matter how you listen to these words, they are full of murderous intent.

But Zhao Changqing was really joking.

The sweat on Wang Ye's body was almost soaked through his clothes. He kept kowtowing and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Your Majesty, forgive me! The name Cao Min was given by my late father and has nothing to do with Cao Min!"

The common people don't even dare to have any intention of becoming king! When the common people return, they will change their names immediately!"

Zhao Changqing said calmly: "There is no need to change the name. Tell me, besides providing scholars for the court, what else does your Wang family do?"

Activity?

This word doesn’t sound very friendly!

Wang Ye said cautiously: "Your Majesty, our Wang family currently does a lot of silk business. More than 30% of the silk and satin in the entire Wei Kingdom are made by my Wang family. In addition, there are academies, restaurants, etc. in various places.

Some small business.

However, if Your Majesty investigates my royal family's business, it has nothing to do with Cao Min! Although Cao Min is the head of the family on the surface, in fact, in the family, several elders have long emptied his rights.

The name of the Cao Min clan leader does not live up to the reality!"

This aroused Zhao Changqing's interest, and he said: "So, you can't make the decision at all about the Wang family's affairs?"

Wang Ye nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty! Caomin... Caomin has really suffered a lot of ridicule in the family..."

As he spoke, tears were forced out of his eyes.

This acting skill is really nothing to say.

Zhao Changqing turned his back to him, but did not see his tears, "Do you know how much money I found after destroying the Jiang family?"

Wang Ye asked: "I hope your majesty can give me some advice."

Zhao Changqing said: "I found a total of 60 million taels of silver. Sixty million taels. It is said that this is only part of the Jiang family's wealth."

Wang Ye was surprised: "So many?"

Sixty million taels is just a part of it, can it not be more?

Zhao Changqing stood up, looked at Wang Ye, and said, "How much silver does your Wang family have now?"

Wang Ye thought for a while and decided to tell the truth, because he felt that nothing could be hidden from the wise king in front of him, "Your Majesty, according to what the common people know, my Wang family only has about 100 million taels in cash."

Damn it, 100 million taels of cash?

Is there only...?

But still cash?!

Damn, you are so rich!

Zhao Changqing pretended to be furious and said: "What a Wang family! The money they have accumulated exceeds the national treasury! How much people's wealth and wealth have you plundered?
Chapter completed!
