The tributes in the scorched earth continent are divided into two categories. One is called conventional tributes, and no discount must be completed in full; the other is called additional tributes, which are exchanged for untouchable points in equivalent coins, and there is no rigid requirement for more or less.

The former can be understood as centralized taxes or management fees; the latter can be understood as dispersed donations, but the donation has a clear purpose - that is, to obtain points, thereby getting rid of untouchable status.

Now Jiang Chongyang wants to double the regular tributes of Weiyang Country this year, and this number is quite large.

"It's just a Yaoye thief run away. How can I run away without being arrested? If the Taihuang Mansion does this, if there are Yaoye thiefs coming in the future, just ignore it and let it go." Zhou Tong looked angry.

"Wrong is wrong, and no reason can be covered up. This is the resolution of the Taihuang Mansion. I just come here to bring a message. Why does Weiyang Country have other ideas? Do I want to explain the situation here after I go back?"

Jiang Chongyang's voice was sharp, which was a naked threat. In front of Wang Xin, Dong Jie and Xu Yan, the emperor of Weiyang Kingdom, threatened the supreme Emperor of Weiyang Kingdom in the territory of Weiyang Kingdom.

"boom!"

It was as if the thunder was thundering on the ground, Zhou Tong was blown up so hot that his insides were tender. He tried his best to bite his teeth and told himself that he could endure what shame could be considered and tribute would be considered. All these setbacks were just stumbling blocks on the road to success.

——Just just kick it away; or just treat it as if it doesn’t exist, and you can cross it.

Thinking that the previous federal emperor almost deposed the royal family of Weiyang Kingdom, Zhou Tong suppressed his anger. He asked blankly: "Is the tribute this year doubled?"

Jiang Chongyang smiled sinisterly and said, "Yes, what you do in the future depends on Weiyang Kingdom's performance, just don't make mistakes again."

"I understand!" Zhou Tong suddenly stood up and left with his sleeves.

The room was soon left with only three people from Xinping County. There was no bed, no food or water here. Xu Yan was going to go out to find something to eat and drink, but Dong Jie was pulled from behind: "Forget it, let's wait until tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Xu Yan nodded slightly. If he wandered in the East Palace in the middle of the night, there was indeed a risk of external troubles.

They found three chairs to put them next to the table, and then lay on the table from different directions. At this moment, they were sleepy, tired, hungry and thirsty, but it was not that easy to fall asleep.

Wang Xin lamented: "This year, the general tribute doubled overall, and it will definitely be more spread to Xinping County."

Dong Jie thought to himself: "We should think of ways, but we cannot increase the burden on the people too much. If we calculate according to time, the earth fire will invade ten months. If we donate too much tribute, we are afraid that everyone will not survive by then."

Wang Xin said bitterly: "What can I do? Change the part that was originally used as an additional tribute to a regular tribute?"

Dong Jie immediately agreed: "I have no problem. I can only earn a few points again. And that thing cannot be done by one or two generations."

Wang Xin thought about it and hesitated: "If I do it... there is no problem. But besides us, we also need to support other large tributes."

Dong Jie frowned: "It sounds good, but who should I use to take action?"

Wang Xin blurted out: "Just choose Hu Chentian. I know Hu Chentian has money, and I plan to donate a lot this time."

At the same time, a luxury house in Xinpingjun.

"Cough! Cough! Cough!"

Hu Chentian leaned against the head of the bed and coughed violently. Five minutes later, someone asked outside the door: "Boss, have you caught a cold?"

...

At seven o'clock the next morning, a palace maid from the East Palace finally appeared. She brought three bowls of white rice porridge that quenched thirst and filled her stomach, and then said gentlely: "After breakfast, the prince and the officials of the Ministry of Justice want to see you and see you separately."

Depend on!

I knew that things were not that simple! Xu Yan shrugged his shoulders and buried his head in drinking porridge.

A bowl of porridge is definitely not enough, but it can only be done. Xu Yan was soon taken to a room on the left side of the East Palace, where two officials from the Ministry of Justice were waiting.

There is only the Ministry of Justice, but no prince. Obviously, in their opinion, Xu Yan is not important, the key is Wang Xin and Dong Jie.

In the current environment, it is definitely better if it doesn’t matter.

After a while, I went around for a long time and was noon on the day, two officials from the Ministry of Justice told Xu Yan that it was nothing to do. If you want to play in Taichuan County, just have fun.

Just what I want!

Xu Yan easily stepped out of the room. He looked at where Wang Xin and Dong Jie were separated. There was no movement there yet. It is estimated that the relevant review and inquiries are still in progress.

Let’s take a look first and find an opportunity to inquire about the fraud cases of the imperial examination three years ago.

Xu Yan tidied up his clothes and left the East Palace.

Taichuan is worthy of being the second largest city in the scorched earth continent. Xu Yan wanted to find a place to have lunch, but he was so dazzled. In the end, his stomach was rumbling and protesting, and Xu Yan just walked into a specialty restaurant.

Here we mainly eat fish, and the signboard contains the words "The Imperial Chef". Xu Yan had a vague premonition. Maybe the Imperial Chef of the Palace knew some information about the fraud case of the imperial examination.

"What do you want to eat at the guest?" the waiter came forward and asked.

"Tell me," Xu Yan didn't care.

The waiter was familiar with the name of the dish. He ordered one for every time he reported Xu Yan, which made the waiter unable to help asking: "Is there anyone here for the guest?"

"I'm the only one." Xu Yan replied immediately.

"Then I ordered it just now enough." The waiter smiled.

Xu Yan walked to the second floor and found a window seat. He pretended to be careless and asked: "Why is your specialty store called the imperial chef in the palace?"

"Because the boss was the chef of the Imperial kitchen before, he opened this shop after leaving." The waiter explained while pouring tea.

"I have a friend who has also been to the imperial kitchen to help. If the boss is convenient, I want to inquire with him." Xu Yan said in a low voice.

"No problem, the boss has no other hobbies, he usually likes to make friends." The waiter nodded quickly.

Xu Yan moved the stool, making it easier to enjoy the street view downstairs. Pedestrians on the road were swarming shoulder to shoulder, and it was full of prosperity.

It is said that five hundred years ago, the scorched earth continent surrendered to the demon clan, but there was still an army that resisted tenaciously. The leader of this army later became the emperor of Weiyang Kingdom, known as the First Emperor, and Zhou Tong's ancestor.

——Emperor Zhou Tong!

Xu Yan had high hopes for him. However, judging from the situation where Xu Yan entered Beijing this time, the situation in Weiyang Country is relatively complicated, and the emperor often had to take into account the opinions of his relatives and ministers.

Since the royal family of Weiyang Kingdom is a special existence, the Federal Taihuang Mansion has been in a grudge from the very beginning. They are often wary of it and even want to abolish the royal family of Weiyang Kingdom.

For example, Jiang Chongyang, whom I saw last night, was obviously very tight and bullying.

Of course there are good and bad things like this. Xu Yan speculated that if he was really forced too hard, the Emperor of Weiyang might have sacrificed his life...

The emperor was willing to go out, which was undoubtedly a good opportunity for Xu Yan, who wanted to change the scorched earth continent.
