Chapter 1133

It's a pity that strength needs a large number of people, and even more needs a large number of young people, and a few years before Great Xia, the loss of young people reached more than 200,000.

Now by annexing those city-states and tribes, he has gained a large number of people and young people, but it will take a long time to assimilate them and make them recognize them as the subjects of the Xia Kingdom.

Time, everything needs time, although Li Chengqian is still very young, he has a very high vision, and his ambition is naturally very high, he is not willing to just stay in the shabby place of Xingqing Mansion to be a small country lord.

He longed for the rich land of the Central Plains, and longed for him to be able to expand the territory like his ancestors, and go to the Central Plains to suggest the dynasty of the Wei Ming clan.

Li Chengqian's fingers tapped lightly on the case. "Wei Mingqing, now that the trade routes in the Western Regions are smooth, it has allowed the Song Ting to take advantage of the boss."

Hearing Li Chengqian's words for no reason, Wei Ming Ah Wu immediately understood what kind of idea his immediate boss was trying to fight.

Stroking his thick gray beard, Wei Ming Ah Wu smashed his mouth. "Your Majesty, do you want ......?"

"I won't be so stupid, cutting off the business route is also a great loss for my Great Xia, and it is very unwise. However, nowadays, the trade exchanges in the Western Regions are becoming more and more prosperous, and the merchants are like ant colonies transiting, and the tax rate in my Great Xia in the past is not high......"

"So, I intend to raise the tax rate by another two percent, what do you think?"

Seeing that Wei Ming Ah Wu frowned tightly, with a solemn expression, Li Chengqian couldn't help laughing. "If Qing thinks it's too heavy, then it's not too much to only raise it by one percent, right?"

"Your Majesty is reasonable, now that the trade route is smooth, my Great Xia has also benefited a lot, if the tax is raised too much, it is not beautiful, if it is only one percent, it should not have much impact, and it can also enrich my Great Xia's treasury faster." Ah Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two years, after the Western Xia opened up the trade routes in the Western Regions, instead of receiving less taxes, he received a few percent more than in the past.

In addition, now, countless treasures of the Song Dynasty have been exported from North Shaanxi Road, and the Xixia traders near the water are naturally making a lot of money.

Charging an extra 10% of the tax is believed to not cause too much loss to those vendors.

"My Great Xia is now very respectful to the Song Court, after nearly two years of peace, I think that the anger of the Song Emperor should also be reduced, Wei Mingqing, I want to send envoys to the Song Court to pay tribute, I hope that the Song Court can restore my Great Xia as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the old minister will go to someone to deal with it, the Song people have always liked to show the world with benevolence and righteousness, think about it, as long as this matter can be opened up, it should not be difficult." Wei Ming Ah Wu nodded and said respectfully.

"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to Wei Mingqing." Seeing that Wei Ming Ah Wu was still so brave to do things, Li Chengqian nodded with satisfaction, which allowed Wei Ming Ah Wu to leave.

In the lounge of the Yihong Mansion Security Brigade, more than 20 hideous men shirtless and healthy squatted together, muttering something quietly.

The leader was not tall, but his body looked extremely strong, covered in sweat, and his bulging muscles were lumpy, changing shape with his movements.

Twenty or so shirtless men are squatting here, their expressions ghostly, and they don't look like they're doing anything good. If you let the rotten girl see such a scene, she must think that this is a reunion.

And if the official messenger sees it, he must think that this is a gang of thugs and robbers discussing how to rob the house.

But in fact, they are all strong and straight men who have been influenced and influenced by the positive energy of Wang Yang and Wang Wushan, the champions of the Great Song Dynasty, and have been infected, and their ideological and moral qualities are also very strong.

"Brothers, those four bastards actually dare to humiliate Wang Gongzi like this, as the so-called practice is bearable, life is unbearable, we brothers have all received the great favor of Wang Gongzi. Wang Gongzi is a gentleman of high moral character, he can't do it, but we can ......"

"It makes sense, those bastards actually dare to offend Wang Gongzi, they are our enemies, didn't those scholars say it? Let the Lord dishonor his ministers and die ......"

"The Lord humiliates his ministers to death? Could it be that the master humiliated the courtier, and the courtier died in shame? Next to him, a muscular man who was holding an iron rod in his hand and continued to move up and down with one hand said with a confused expression.

“…… Get out of your mother, this sentence is the words of the sages, and the sages mean that if their boss is insulted by others, then, as a younger brother, you must try to get revenge for the boss, even if it is at the cost of your own life. ”

"Oh, hehe, you still have the level of Brother Wang, little brother shut up, I will do whatever you tell me to do, in short, I will also take revenge on those bastards for Wang Gongzi."

"Why don't we sneak into the homes of those officials in the middle of the night and slaughter them?" One of them, a straight man of steel covered in flesh, groped his stubble and proposed.

"This can't be done, don't forget, Childe has always warned us not to do things that are traitors and criminals, and killing people is also a crime, if you really want to do this, wouldn't it be against Childe's teaching to us people?" Brother Wang, who was the leader, rolled his eyes and objected.

"What's more, let's just order people like this, those people are also officials, how can it be that there are few people in the family who take care of the home, and if we really kill someone, when the time comes, if it is implicated in the son, then we will really die and not redeem."

"What then? Wouldn't it be great if we found a place to ambush them, and when we met them, we robbed them to a dark place, and then beat them up so hard that we only let out our anger and didn't hurt anyone's lives? ”

"What a fart, ambush, wait for someone, when will this be so special, you don't have to forget. As the so-called gentleman is not too late to take revenge for ten years, the villain's revenge is slow overnight, let's take revenge on those bastards, then the sooner the better, it's best to do it tonight. ”

"Let those four dog officials understand how miserable and desolate it will be if they offend Wang Gongzi......"

"That's right, we are all people who have received the favor and advice of the prince, although we can't do the things of adultery, but we have to disgust those four dog officials."

"What do we do, if we do it tonight, I'm afraid we won't be able to use many means......" A straight man of steel frowned, trying to meditate on the strategy.

At this time, I suddenly heard a bang, and I saw one of the straight men of steel standing up.

"Brother Xu, have you thought of a way?" Brother Wang, who was the leader, couldn't help but ask with some surprise, this guy has always been slow to turn his brain, but he didn't expect him to be the first to stand up today.

"No, what's that, little brother, my stomach hurts, I have to go to the thatched house, you brothers think slowly, the little brother will definitely find a way to go to the thatched house......" The Xu brother laughed dryly twice, and then walked towards the door with his stomach between his legs.

it! The face of a straight man of steel was all black.
