Chapter VI Article 2 Decree
East Heart City! Captain Pang's house.
"How's the news?" Captain Pang looked at his subordinates.
"The gods are very calm, although the human emperor received the news, he didn't say anything!" An official said respectfully.
"The Emperor didn't say anything, that's good, it seems that I did the right thing!" Captain Pang showed a look of satisfaction for a moment.
"Taiwei, the money has been returned, the people have settled down, and everything has been restored, but Wang Xiong is exempt from tax for one year, and our financial balance is a little ......!" Another official said with an ugly face.
"How long will we have enough money to cover all our expenses?" Captain Pang frowned.
"Barely a year!" The official smiled wryly.
"A year? That's enough! Captain Pang said in a deep voice.
"No, Captain, it's barely a year! It is to distribute money to a group of our officials, that is, for one year, there is no surplus, and the money that the Taiwei used to have to buy off some other officials is gone. The money for the captain to do other things is gone, that is to say, this year, we can only defend, not attack! The official smiled wryly.
"Can only keep? Hmph, even if you keep it, the power held by this official is not comparable to Wang Xiong? If you don't open up, you won't open up. Wang Xiong? Let's continue to play with him, hmph, doesn't Wang Xiong have a lot of money? Then set a name for him, help him spend money, and when he runs out of money, I'll see what he does! Captain Pang said with a pangin in his eyes.
"Make a name?"
"Yes, the major cities, haven't there been many projects that have been postponed before? As far as Dongxin City is concerned, there are three rivers to be treated, five areas to be separated from water and pollution, and eight droughts to be solved! I couldn't do it before, but now, it's all pushed to Wang Xiong, what do I think he should do? Is 10 million spirit stones a lot? If you can't get in or out, it will be spent soon, and when his money is spent, what do I think he will do? Captain Pang sneered.
"Once Wang Xiong's money is spent, won't he have to collect taxes again? At that time, the people will not be willing, the order will be changed overnight, the good government will not be cleared, and the bad government will come. Wang Xiong is going to be scolded to death. Tai Lieutenant, your trick is high, high! The officials suddenly said.
"Yes, yes, yes, there are so many projects, I see how Wang Xiong will take it, doesn't he have a lot of money? Isn't he going to take over the Eastern fiefdoms? This is the suffering of the people, he won't leave it alone, right? If he doesn't care, how will the people think of him? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I want to tell all the people about Wang Xiong's 10 million spirit stones, and at the same time, force Wang Xiong to spend money. The people must be staring at Wang Xiong, I don't think he spends it! ”
"That's right, that's right, hahaha!"
"Hahahaha!" Captain Pang laughed.
----------
It didn't take long for all the people of the Eastern Fiefdom to understand why the King of the East was exempt from taxes. Ten million spirit stones, what a terrifying amount.
Many officials have jointly petitioned the king of the East and asked the king of the east to implement projects for the people. The joint name has made all the people know about it.
Hundreds of people watched with amazement.
Pang Taiwei and his entourage waited for Wang Xiong to come out of the ocean.
It didn't take long for news to come from the Eastern Palace.
"What? Picked up? Wang Xiong took it? He knows how much it will cost? Captain Pang's face changed and he said in surprise.
"There are a total of 1,000 large-scale projects, Wang Xiong's spirit stones, on the one hand, he has to distribute the money of officials and defenders, and on the other hand, he has to pick up these projects, he, even if he has 10 million spirit stones, he can only last for eight months at most!" An official said with an ugly face.
"Wang Xiong is really crazy, right, he didn't screen it, he took it all?" Captain Pang reconfirmed.
"Yes, the Oriental Mansion has already started to post notices, and all the next projects! In addition, we will notify the government offices and ask for their cooperation! The official said.
"Captain, do we want to cooperate?" An official said with an ugly face.
"Cooperate! If you don't cooperate, Wang Xiong just withdrew his investment, and then the dirty water will be poured on us, hum, cooperate, then cooperate, I look at him, eight months later, what to do! Captain Pang said with a hideous expression.
---------
The Oriental Palace, in the main hall.
Wang Xiong drank tea, and a group of anxious retainers stood in front of him.
"Lord Wang, what you promised is too reckless!"
"Yes, we calculated just now, so many projects have been accepted, and 10 million spirit stones are not enough!"
"Lord Wang, this is Captain Pang's conspiracy!"
"Lord Wang, we can't take it!"
…………………………

……
The subordinates looked anxious.
Even Wang Tiance was anxious, because Wang Tiance also saw the sinister intentions of Captain Pang, which was to kidnap Wang Xiong with righteousness and force Wang Xiong to spend money.
Eight months later, there are still four months, what if there is no money available for those four months?
Everyone was like ants on a hot pot, only Wang Xiong was alone, sitting there, calmly drinking tea, listening to the gossip of his subordinates.
Wang Zhongquan stood aside, never interjecting from beginning to end, only occasionally looking at Wang Xiong suspiciously.
The hall was noisy for a while, and seeing that Wang Xiong didn't speak, they also quieted down one by one and looked at Wang Xiong together.
"Finished?" Wang Xiong said lightly.
"Lord Wang!" Everyone was anxious and almost shouted in unison.
"Don't worry, can't this king see the conspiracy of Captain Pang? Scold! Wang Xiong sneered.
"Then the prince still picks it up?" Wang Tiance said eagerly.
All the officials had the same expression.
"Why don't you pick it up? Captain Pang is building momentum for this king! Don't you see, just in the past few days, how many people are grateful, haven't you seen the rolling luck flowing from all directions to Zhendong City? Wang Xiong said with a smile.
As soon as Wang Xiong said, everyone was slightly stunned.
"Yes, these days, the sky and the air are moving to the sea, and the golden light is shining, and more and more luck is gathering! But after eight months, we will have no money, and then we will collect taxes, and the people will riot, and then our luck will be destroyed! Wang Tiance said anxiously.
Everyone was equally anxious.
"The will of the people cannot be deceived!" Wang Xiong shook his head.
"Huh?" Everyone looked puzzled.
"We are good to the people, but are they not clear to the people? Pang Taiwei has created momentum for this king this time, and has almost publicized everything about these projects to the people. The people are grateful to the king for his desperate action for the people this time, and naturally they are slowly becoming one with the palace. Don't worry, don't worry! Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"But, in eight months, ......!" The crowd was worried.
"Don't worry, go and see what the people have to say, and then come back to discuss things!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
The officials nodded blankly.
------------
The eastern fiefdoms, thirty-six cities, and the mouths of major cities, all of them were surrounded by the people.
"Dongxin City, the Dead River is governed, ah, it is finally governed, the prince really agreed!"
"Great, our water and sewage discharge there has always been a big problem, as soon as it rains, it will be flooded, and the prince actually agreed to deal with it!"
"It's better to be a prince!"
"Yes, I heard that all this money is paid by the prince himself, and he pays for it himself!"
"It's not just our city, I heard that all the cities in the fiefdom are like this, and the prince has taken over all the big projects! How much does it cost! ”
"No taxes, use your own money, the prince is really a good person!"
"Yes, we suffered before, and Captain Pang took so many of our taxes, and I didn't see him help us govern, and he used these projects to cheat the prince of his money, what a bastard!"
"Yes, the prince has 10 million spirit stones, but they are all earned by the gods with their lives."
"The prince spends his own money to help us. Captain Pang takes our taxes and never does anything for us! ”
"In case the prince doesn't have enough money, I am willing to donate money to help the prince, old man!"
"Yes, you must drive Taiwei Pang out of the Eastern Fiefdom, what a good person the prince is!"
"The two princes are both good people, only when the prince is in power, will he have a good life, then Captain Pang, get out!"

The discussion of the people in the major cities quickly spread to the Eastern Palace. Once again, the ministers gathered in the palace of Wang Xiong.
"Lord Wang, the direction of the people's hearts has changed, although at the beginning, there were our people in it to guide, but then there was no need at all!" Wang Tiance said with surprise on his face.
"Yes, the people everywhere are looking forward to the prince recovering the cities! I've heard that there are still people who want to donate spontaneously! Wang Zhongquan said with a smile.
"Donations don't need to be made, once the people are allowed to donate, Captain Pang will have another excuse to attack!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"I seem to see the past again, in the era of the old prince, the people loved the prince!" Wang Tiance sighed.
"Yes, yes, Captain Pang is stealing chickens and rice again this time, haha!" The officials laughed.
Wang Xiong smiled slightly. Because this moment has long been expected. Because, Wang Xiong is now justifiable. All teachers are famous and occupy morality!
No matter what kind of war, when morality is occupied, it will be invincible, the people's will will be wanted, and everything will fall into place.
Captain Pang? In the eyes of others, it is like a mountain, and in the eyes of Wang Xiong, it is nothing more than that.
"But, Lord Wang, if you don't accept donations, what will you do in eight months?" Wang Tiance said worriedly.
"Don't worry, this king has his own plans!" Wang Xiong said lightly.
"However, Captain Pang has played a conspiracy this time to force us to spend money so quickly, so it is inevitable that he will not continue to release cold arrows. He's going to have another move......! Wang Tiance's face was ugly.
Wang Xiong's eyes narrowed slightly: "Yes, he should indeed find something for him to do!" ”
"Does the prince have any ideas?" Wang Tiance's eyes lit up.
"To receive the Eastern fiefdom, this king has four steps, the first step is tax exemption for one year. It's time for the second step! Wang Xiong's eyes narrowed.
"Step two?" Everyone was slightly stunned.
Four steps? When did the prince think of the four steps? The first step, tax exemption for one year, turned the Oriental fiefdom upside down, and the prince still has three steps to follow? Is this, is this true?
"The second step, enter the knighthood!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Rank and add to the ranks? Who is it for? Wang Tiance was slightly stunned.
"In the Eastern Fiefdom, all important officials must be added to the knighthood!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Why?" The officials looked puzzled.
