Wu Zetian couldn't help but breathe rapidly, and his voice trembled: "Is it a million taels of tax silver?"

cough!

Chen Yuan choked suddenly and waved his hand with a smile: It was wrong, it was 100,000 taels of silver, about 240,000 taels a year.

"Huh...so that's it."

Wu Zetian breathed a sigh of relief and then laughed at himself: "Yes, it is already amazing that a poor county with a population of only 30,000 can have more than 200,000 taels of tax revenue.

How could it be a million?

"Don't worry, as long as I am here, it will be a matter of time to collect millions of taxes. Let's take a look..."

Chen Yuan made a gesture of invitation, and the group walked towards Qingyuan Square.

A ragged beggar spits on the ground halfway.

He was vomiting at Wu Zetian's feet. Before Shangguan Wan'er could scold her, the fat woman with red sleeves tied on her arms walked over with great momentum.

He shaved two big ears according to the beggar's face and roared loudly, "Li Si, how dare you spit anywhere!"

"Hurry up and pay me the fine!"

The beggar obviously knew the identities of the two, and smiled flatteringly: "Don't calm down, the villain will pay the money now."

After saying that, he took out two taels of silver from his waist of his pants and threw it into the box, then wiped the phlegm on the ground with his sleeves, got up and left.

"Ha! Lord Shen is indeed very good at making money, and he doesn't even let go of the beggar's money." Shangguan Wan'er mocked.

Chen Yuan glanced at her and said lightly: Brother Shangguan is such a bad word. Which eye do you see that it is a beggar?

It seemed that in order to confirm his words, the beggar who had left suddenly walked out of the gold shop in a swagger.

He held a pair of golden insoles in his hand.

When he saw Chen Yuan and his men, he nodded with a smile and went to the brothel.

Shangguan Wan'er's face turned red: "Isn't this the beggar before? Why is he dressed up like this?"

"No wonder, Li Si is a professional beggar from our county, who specializes in begging for foreign merchants. I heard that only two concubines were married."

"This time, he was taking advantage of his violation of Qingyuan County's health regulations and punished him heavily."

Shangguan Wan'er...

Seeing this, Wu Zetian smiled and did not disturb the conversation between the two. She walked forward on her own. She became more and more interested in Qingyuan County.

When she came to a tea shop, she found a seat by the window and sat down, asked for a pot of Longjing tea, and listened quietly to the storyteller.

"By the way, Lord Shen drank three big bowls of wine and walked towards Jingyanggang. He came up halfway and chose a huge rock to sleep."

"While sleeping, I feel like there is something meowing. When I wake up, I see that the guy is actually a beautiful tiger with a height of three meters and a weight of ten thousand pounds!"

"It was a long time to speak, and then I saw Lord Shen rolling over and riding the tiger under his crotch, scratching the tiger's armpit."

"That night, the tiger laughed repeatedly, resounding for dozens of miles. When the people went up the mountain, they were all shocked.

Ah! Sir, what are you?

Bang!

If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the next breakdown.

Amid the warm applause, Chen Yuan and his men rushed over. Seeing everyone talking about his tiger-killing deeds, their old face turned red and they couldn't help coughing.

It's too much to dare to arrange his Water Margin without authorization.

There must be heavy use taxes in the future.

Wu Zetian looked back at him and said, "Mr. Shen, how did that tiger with tens of thousands of pounds happen later?"

"Of course I'm so dying of laughter. Haven't you heard of tiger laughing all the time?" Chen Yuan said without changing his expression.

"Haha, so that's how it is." Wu Zetian covered his mouth and laughed, and the depression in his heart for several days was wiped out.

After dark, both sides bowed and said goodbye.

Wu Zetian and his group returned to the hot spring hall to rest.

After sending the prince away, Wu Zetian took off his clothes, sat naked in the hot spring, and let the little fish shuttle through his chest.

Shangguan Wan'er knelt on the side and kept scattering the petals into the pool.

a long time.

Wu Zetian crawled out of the water with a thud and wiped the water droplets on his face: You stay in the hot spring hall to rest, I will go and see Chen Yuan.

Shangguan Wan'er was shocked.

"Your Majesty, it's late at night, I'm worried about your safety."

"It's okay." Wu Zetian shook his head and said with a firm look on his face: "For my Dazhou soldiers, my personal safety is nothing."

"And through previous contact, the magistrate Chen was obviously an official with the heart of a saint."

"He won't do anything to me."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan'er still knelt down in front of Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, even if that magistrate Chen is a good official, can he really save the soldiers of the three armies?"

"After all, the disease abuse has existed for thousands of years, and many medical saints and medicine kings are helpless. How can a mere seventh-rank magistrate?"

"There are people outside the mountain. If Chen Yuan had no choice, he wouldn't say that during the day."

"The reason I changed my words later was probably because I was protecting myself."

Wu Zetian snorted angrily.

"As an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I don't want to share the worries of the emperor or the country, and I think about my own acre and three-point land all day long."

"This Chen Yuan is really lazy, and he has to add burden to him in the future."

"Your Majesty is wise, you must put on heavy burdens!" Shangguan Wan'er gritted her silver teeth and said viciously.

"Okay, you go to bed by yourself." After that, Wu Zetian changed into Confucian clothes and left the hot spring hall.

The nights in Qingyuan County are more lively than during the day. There are shops hanging high in lanterns everywhere on the crowded streets.

The neatly arranged stalls extend along both sides of the street to the distance, exuding a noisy city atmosphere.

Wu Zetian did not stop too much and walked through the crowd and headed straight for the county government.

The official on the night saw that it was a guest from the county magistrate, so he invited him to the concierge and went to the back hall to report it himself.

Not long after, Xiao Taohong walked out of it and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"Please come with me, Mr. Wu."

The two walked through the corridor and came to the back garden. They saw a figure sitting on the roof, drinking alone at the moon, for some reason, feeling a little desolate.

"Hey, what's wrong with Lord Shen?" Wu Zetian asked in surprise.

"Oh, Lord Shen is not like this on weekdays. I don't know what happened today, but I was depressed when I came back from outside."

Xiao Taohong said worriedly.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zetian was a little surprised. During the day, Chen Yuan still looked like he was not in charge of his own affairs and was hanging high.

Unexpectedly, it changed when I came back.

"Okay, you go back first, Wu goes up to meet Lord Shen." Wu Zetian looked at the person on the roof deeply and climbed up along the ladder.

Wu Zetian has lived in the deep palace for a long time. When did she climb over the ladder? When she climbed up, she was already exhausted and sweating profusely and panting.

"Mr. Shen is so happy. He drinks the moon alone by himself. I wonder if Wu is lucky enough to have a drink with you?"

Chen Yuan laughed and, caught Wu Zetian off guard, put his shoulder on him and said loudly.
