Chapter 02: Government Shutdown

Looking at Wukong's triumphant back, the more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and in the end, he came to a conclusion, that is, he was ...... , may have been deceived by Wukong again!

According to the normal situation, even if he borrowed 300 million gold from the Great Demon Kingdom, he could get a rich return after a year, Li Tang would never lend money to the Great Demon Kingdom.

After all, 300 million gold is not a small number, and Li Tang has now lost 350,000 soldiers and horses, and he urgently needs to use money to re-recruit troops and restore his strength.

In this case, it is completely stupid to use one's own money on one's neighbors and contribute to the development of neighboring countries, while delaying one's own affairs and letting one's strength continue to decline.

Besides, how stupid is Goku?

Borrowing one to repay the interest rate, everyone obviously can't accept it, but he still bites it and doesn't let go, but keeps talking about this high interest rate.

The most bizarre thing is that Li Shimin obviously proposed five points of interest, but he was stupid, insisted on proposing six points of interest to Zhu Yuyan, and took the initiative to give Li Shimin a great opportunity to make money.

If Goku really wanted to make a fortune, could he have done such a stupid thing?

Therefore, at the critical moment when the Northern War is about to begin, it is impossible for Wukong to throw 300 million gold into a ragtag country like the Great Demon Kingdom, where birds don't!

Now Li Shimin, on behalf of Li Tang, pays out of his own pocket to help the construction of the Great Demon Kingdom, even if this is a deal that is beneficial to everyone, but in the end, the person who benefits the most is still not paying a penny, but he can take over a strong Wukong of the Great Demon Kingdom in the future.

That's right, Wukong's little abacus, Li Shimin has already seen through it, so he won't believe Wukong, and he will really generously hand over all the land of a country to others for nothing.

This is simply impossible, Li Shimin has already seen through it, Wukong is actually a super traitor who can't afford to make a profit!

But even if he saw through it, what could he do?

If Li Shimin dares to repent, if he doesn't lend 300 million gold to Zhu Yuyan now, Wukong will definitely put pressure on Li Yuan to copy the entire Qin Wangfu to fill this huge loan of 300 million.

Therefore, even if Li Shimin saw through Wukong's wishful thinking, he could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he would definitely put this confusion to the end.

In this way, everyone entered the original imperial city of the Champion City with different moods.

The reason why it is said to be the original imperial city is because now this place has become the residence of the Yin Kui faction, and the only few intact palaces in the imperial city have also become the accommodation place for all the Yin Kui sect people.

And the palaces that burned down in the fire have all been completely bulldozed, and the large open space left behind has turned into a very interesting, huge open-air market!

Ninety percent of the people in the entire Champion City, that is, the martial artists of the various factions in the Beisui River and Lakes, may now be gathered here, trading all kinds of things in full swing.

Wukong saw that this market was very interesting, so he smiled and asked Zhu Yuyan, "What's going on? What is the main item they trade?"

Zhu Yuyan looked at the hot open-air market in front of her, smiled bitterly, and replied helplessly to Wukong: "What else can it be? The land allocated by the state to the disciples of the various sects is completely like waste, and it is of no use at all. The disciples always had to live, so they had to do their old jobs. Speaking of which, she gave Goku a blank look and continued to explain to everyone.

"We, the ones who have a heritage, each of us make something unique. Therefore, the various factions exchanged some things with each other that they could not use, and then sent disciples to sell them in various places. This is how our food, daily necessities, and all kinds of raw materials needed to process strange things are mainly exchanged. After speaking, Zhu Yuyan was very embarrassed and lowered her head.

It's really embarrassing to say this, almost all of the people who trade in this market are, officials and nobles of the Great Demon Kingdom!

However, these noble officials and nobles of the Great Demon Kingdom may be the most miserable group of officials and nobles in the entire Demon Realm.

Ask a random vendor in the market, he may be a county official of a big demon country, or even an official directly under the central government.

However, in the entire Great Demon Kingdom, there may not even be a thousand people, and these noble officials and nobles have to rely on setting up stalls to support their families.

Wukong chatted with Zhu Yuyan for a while, and after knowing the details of the situation, he immediately became very angry and said: "What is this a problem! A group of court officials and nobles set up stalls in this kind of open-air market, and you are not ashamed to spread the word? You don't have to quibble with me, let me tell you, even they will starve me to death! I will not allow an official to set up a stall here as a vendor who has nothing to do all day long!" After Wukong finished speaking angrily, he turned his head and ordered Pei Xingyan.

"Lead the troops to surround me the whole market! Arrest all those shameful officials who are peddlers for me! Hmph! I've seen too much today! From south to north, from east to west, you have inquired in the entire Youzhuo Prefecture, where are the officials doing so undignified——! why are you still stunned? Arrest them all for me——!" Wukong yelled at Pei Xingyan very angrily.

After listening to Wukong's words, Zhu Yuyan was really angry to the extreme, but she secretly glanced at the two beside Wukong, a mighty swordsman like a tiger, and a handsome and domineering warrior, she knew that she had to endure this breath now.

Although Zhu Yuyan didn't know Lang Chuanyun and Li Ruohai, she had a very strong intuition that either of these two people had the absolute strength to kill them in an instant, not to mention, there were 300,000 elite soldiers stationed outside the city.

Therefore, after a burst of chickens and dogs, Pei Xingyan arrested almost all the officials of the entire Great Demon Kingdom in front of Wukong.

Looking at those officials of the Great Demon Kingdom dressed as knights, Wukong snorted coldly and shouted loudly to them.

If an official does not act, then what does the state want of you? If an official does not have majesty, then what is the majesty of the state? Don't give me quibbles, saying that you are forced to do nothing. I tell you, even if you all starve me to death! I ...... , and it is not allowed to have an official of the Great Demon Kingdom, and if he does not act ——!no majesty——!" After shouting loudly here, Wukong suddenly changed his expression and continued to shout to everyone in a flat tone.

"Of course, I'm not an unreasonable person, and I'll give you two ways to go now. First, you can be a qualified official who is loyal to his duties, even if he starves to death in his own home, but also for the development of the Great Demon Kingdom, and dedicates all his efforts to the development of the Great Demon Kingdom. Second, if you don't have the ability to do this, just resign from me honestly. You of the province, embarrass the country——!" After roaring angrily, Wukong calmly waited for the choice of all the officials of the Great Demon Kingdom.

In the end, except for less than a hundred people, all the officials of the entire Great Demon Kingdom chose to resign.

So, in the face of this super serious incident of a country's government shutting down, Wukong smiled slightly, and then swayed and walked towards the palace in the distance.
