When they heard that Fang Zhenhai's purpose for finding them was to find a way to make money, everyone present looked like it had nothing to do with them.
They are good at killing people and making money? It seems like they should go to the caravan.
Gu Cheng sat in his seat and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "My subordinates have an idea."
"Oh, let's take a look."
Fang Zhenhai suddenly smiled. What he was most satisfied with Gu Cheng was that if something happened and he asked Gu Cheng to do it, Gu Cheng would definitely be able to handle it for him.
And if there is something that no one is willing to do, Gu Cheng can still stand up and help him solve his problems.
This kind of subordinate is what he needs now. Compared with other guys who always look at Gu Cheng when something happens, Fang Zhenhai is more and more pleasing to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng stood up and said: "King of Heaven, to put it bluntly, our rebel army is not as good as when the imperial court was in charge of Nanyi County. After all, the imperial court has its own system. Even if Nanyi County is in emergency, it can still appeal to the capital.
Ask for help.
So if we want to get money quickly, we have to go to places that the court has not paid attention to before."
"Where?"
"The martial arts forces in Nanyi County!"
Gu Cheng said in a deep voice: "These martial arts forces are very rich. The court did not take care of them for various reasons before, but it does not mean that we cannot take care of them."
Fang Zhenhai immediately understood what Gu Cheng meant: "You mean, collect taxes from these martial arts forces?"
The imperial court has actually done this kind of thing before, but it was just symbolic.
For example, whichever family owns a caravan, shop, etc., will naturally have to pay taxes to the court.
But that's only on the surface. Some of the secret transactions in various cultivation materials are even marketable and priceless. How could they take the initiative to pay taxes on these things?
The imperial court's control over Nanjiu County itself is very weak, so it is even more impossible to take care of these things, and has been letting it go until now.
Fang Zhenhai thought for a while and said: "But if you say this, will my rebel army be hostile and protested by the sects of Nanyi County?"
Gu Cheng thought silently in his heart, of course he would, but what does it have to do with him? What he wants is the hostility and protest of the martial arts forces in Nanyi County.
With this thought in his mind, Gu Cheng said: "There must be hostility and protests, but which martial arts force in Nanyi County dares to directly turn against my rebel army?
The reason why the court did not touch them before was because the court was too big and had too many things to consider and worry about, so it did not dare to mess around.
But the only thing that our rebel army has to consider and worry about is Nanyi County, and the way we can get the money as quickly as possible is also in Nanyi County.
Anyway, this subordinate has only one idea, and it is entirely up to you, the King of Heaven, to decide whether to use it or not."
Master Yunhai over there frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong.
When the Rebel Army attacked Nanyi County before, they actually promised the martial arts sects that Qiu would not offend, but now this move seems to affect the reputation of the Rebel Army.
But after seeing Fang Zhenhai's expression, Master Yunhai swallowed back what he wanted to say.
Because based on his understanding of Fang Zhenhai, looking at Fang Zhenhai's face now, he knew that he was already moved.
At this time, Fang Zhenhai was almost going crazy with worry because he had no money. Gu Cheng gave him an idea. If he rejected it, he had no better idea and gave it to Fang Zhenhai.
Therefore, Master Yunhai, who was always cautious in doing things, chose to remain silent and did not speak.
Fang Zhenhai slapped the table directly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Gu Cheng, I'll leave this matter to you. Contact a big martial arts force and ask them to send someone here. The taxes must be collected, no matter what method!
"
At this time, Gao Jiande, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "King of Heaven, wait a moment."
Fang Zhenhai frowned and said, "You want to object again?"
Gao Jiande shook his head and said: "How can I object to something like this that can increase the income of our Chaotic Armed Forces?
It's just that such a big thing is left to Gu Cheng. Although I believe he can do a good job, I am worried that the Jianghu sects in Nanyi County will bully him because he is young and weak.
So we’d better send another person over to help calm the situation.”
Taoist Mengshan frowned. What Gao Jiande did was a bit excessive.
The method was proposed by Gu Cheng, but you still sent someone there. Isn't it obvious that you are picking peaches?
And this time they are going on behalf of the Chaos Army and Fang Zhenhai. What is the difference between seventh grade and sixth grade?
Fang Zhenhai had an argument with Gao Jiande in front of everyone last time, and he didn't want to argue with him again because of this matter.
Hearing this, Fang Zhenhai looked at Gu Cheng: "Gu Cheng, what do you think?"
Gu Cheng chuckled and said, "What Mr. Gao said makes sense. I don't have any problem with sending another person over."
Taoist Mengshan looked at Gu Cheng in surprise again.
He and Gu Cheng talked about a lot that night, and he could also feel that although Gu Cheng was young, he was a rich man in the city. He didn't look like a young man, but looked like an old man who had been wandering around in the world for many years.
generally.
He should have figured out what Gao Jiande meant, so why did he agree so easily?
In fact, for Gu Cheng, it doesn't matter no matter how many people come, it just saves him the trouble of being a celebrity.
Fang Zhenhai nodded with satisfaction. Gu Cheng was quite knowledgeable, so he was spared any trouble.
Turning his gaze to Gao Jiande, Fang Zhenhai said: "Who are you going to let, brother?"
Gao Jiande pointed at Fa Jian and said: "Master Fa Jian can go. He is also from the Jianghu in Nanyi County. Before joining our Luanwu Army, he was already well-known in Nanyi County, and his strength is also qualified."
Fang Zhenhai nodded and said, "Well, Fa Jian and Gu Cheng will handle this matter."
After finalizing the matter, Fang Zhenhai's invitation was immediately sent to the major forces in Nanyi County, and they made an appointment to discuss the matter in Guangling City in half a month.
After leaving the main hall, Fa Jian walked over with a smile and said: "Brother Gu, don't worry, I didn't mean to take your credit. It was Master Gao who pushed me out. I'm too embarrassed to refuse, right?"
But don’t worry, the benefits of this incident will be shared equally between you and me. I’ll blackmail those small sects hard, and I guarantee that Brother Gu won’t suffer any loss.”
As he said that, Fa Jian wanted to come over and hug Gu Cheng, but Gu Cheng dodged away.
Among the eight kings under Fang Zhenhai, except for one Lian Jiandu who was killed by him, he didn't hate anyone, even Gao Jiande who often gave him trouble.
The two sides are just hostile because of their respective positions, which is normal.
But only Fa Jian, the lewd monk, was the most despised by Gu Cheng.
Isn’t it easy to get a girl these days? A handsome guy like Gu Cheng basically doesn’t have to worry.
Those who are not naturally good at it can also learn from Wang Lin's example of throwing money at him, and a bunch of girls will still rush at him.
Moreover, the streets are full of brothels, what kind of girls do you want?
It turned out that this Fa Jian didn't like to go to brothels. As a sixth-grade master, he was not short of money, but he liked to be a flower-picking monk who insulted the innocence of other girls. Gu Cheng hated this kind of person the most.
This guy had a greasy face and was not scrupulous about meat and vegetables. Gu Cheng didn't want to have close contact with him to avoid getting contaminated by something dirty.
Gu Cheng said calmly: "Master Fa Jian, I only know that I am working for the King of Heaven and raising food and wages for the rebel army. I don't understand what you are saying and I don't want to do it. I am still busy going back to practice, so I left.
"
After saying that, Gu Cheng turned around and left without leaving any dignity for Fa Jian.
Fa Jian's fat face, which originally had a greasy smile, suddenly turned gloomy.
"Bah! Didn't you just do a few things to make the king happy? What are you talking about?
You are so cool now, but you will cry in the future!"
With a disdainful curse, Fa Jian also turned and left.
Half a month later, in the back hall of the former Guangling City Sheriff's Mansion, people from various sects gathered here. Of course, except for some factions whose heads came in person, most of the factions sent their confidants.
No matter what the outcome is, if the head of the sect comes to discuss this matter in person, there will be no room for turning around.
In the back hall, Wang Lin took a young man in his early thirties, who looked very similar to him but was much calmer than him, to introduce him to Gu Cheng.
"Brother Gu, this is my eldest brother Wang Yuan, who is also here to discuss this matter on behalf of the Wang family."
Wang Yuan cupped his hands towards Gu Cheng and said, "I've heard about Brother Gu for a long time, and seeing him today is really extraordinary."
Compared with Wang Lin, Wang Yuan is indeed more like a son of a wealthy family. He is polite and courteous when leading others, so that no one can find any fault with him.
Wang Lin blinked at Gu Cheng and said, "Brother Gu, what happened to King Fang Tian this time? Why did he suddenly take action against the Nanyi County Wulin? Please reveal the situation."
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Don't be rude. Brother Gu is a confidant of the King of Heaven. There are many people with mixed eyes. If you say some things to your face, wouldn't you be harming Brother Gu?"
Gu Cheng watched the two brothers singing and asking about the situation. He did not reveal the truth. He just shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's not that we are attacking Nanyi County Wulin, but that the Chaos Army really has no money, so we can only make plans."
To Wulin in Nanyi County.
And I am not the one who can make the decision this time. I have only been with the Heavenly King for a few days. The one who really makes the decision, I believe you have all heard of it, is the master of the casual cultivators in Nanyi County, the 'Laughing King Kong'
Dharma view.
After all, my qualifications under the command of the Heavenly King are still relatively low. Even if I become the Eight Great Vajras, I will still be the most junior one.
I would like to speak for the Wang family, but my strength does not allow it."
Gu Cheng is pretending to be innocent and a good guy here without any fear of being exposed.
Originally, he was planning to act as the red face to cause conflict between Nanyi County Wulin and Fang Zhenhai.
As a result, Fa Fa was obsessed with profit and wanted to take the initiative to become this evil person. Of course, Gu Cheng would not stop him.
Moreover, only the Eight Great Vajras were present at the time of the discussion, and none of them had any reason to spread the fact that it was he who initiated the matter.
So in this discussion, Gu Cheng is very 'innocent'.
