Chapter 107: Deep as the Sea
Chapter 107: Deep as the Sea
There was a fire in Xiao Changtian's eyes, but it soon died down because he knew that this was just an idealized situation and he was not the only smart person in the world.
Moreover, he naturally knew what would happen on the full moon day. If a fairy came to the world and destroyed all things, he would not be able to resist it.
Xiao Changtian thought about it and asked:
"Teacher Huang Li, how sure are you?"
Looking at Xiao Changtian who was gradually calming down, Huang Li's eyes flashed with obvious surprise, and then he replied coldly:
"Ninety-nine percent, I am the young and frivolous Huang Li. Haha, although I am no longer young and have gained a lot of weight, I still have this confidence."
After Huang Li finished speaking, Xiao Changtian couldn't help but smile.
My goodness, I was young and frivolous, but now I am no longer young. The word "frivolous" is gone, and only "crazy" is left. What a crazy guy Huang Li is, so crazy.
However, Xiao Changtian likes arrogant people, especially those like Huang Li who have the capital to be arrogant.
The more arrogant Huang Li became, the more confident Xiao Changtian felt.
"Then Mr. Huang Li, what should we do first? What should we do first?"
Xiao Changtian asked quietly.
"You haven't told me which strategy you want to choose yet. If you don't give me the corresponding strategy, how can I help you find a solution?"
Huang Li was somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, Xiao Changtian shouldn't have replied to him like this. Three strategies had not been chosen yet, so did he still need his help in choosing? If so, he was too indecisive.
"You haven't chosen yet? You've already chosen! With Teacher Huang Li here, the other two strategies don't seem to be necessary. What do you think, Teacher?"
Huang Li was somewhat excited by Xiao Changtian's deep voice. He laughed, his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, and he uttered a sentence word by word:
"Good boy, you have some courage. To be honest, I'm starting to like you."
"Then let's go and ask for help. The Xiao family will ask the one who perfunctorily treated you to ask for help, and the Dynasty will ask the captain of your guard to ask for help. Now you can start to issue a call for talents, and exempt taxes at the same time. Just release the Dynasty's three-year tax exemption policy, and you will also be exempted for three years, so that everyone can feel the emperor's grace."
Huang Li said, Xiao Changtian was a little confused and asked:
"What do you mean by tax exemption? And you're saying it in the imperial tone? By the way, when did you know that the imperial dynasty would exempt taxes for three years?"
"Hahaha, who can you hide this old trick of tax exemption from the dynasty? As for tax exemption, how many places has the dynasty exempted, and which place has exempted the people? There is no need to make it too obvious. The people also know that it was you who did it. Using insignificant taxes to win the hearts of the people, isn't it worth it?"
After Huang Li finished speaking, Xiao Changtian finally came to his senses and continued:
"I understand. This way, all the talented people in the world will know that I love the people like my own children. There will be an endless stream of people coming to me for help. Not to mention the top masters, there will definitely be no shortage of middle and low-level people. Is that what you mean, Teacher Huang Li?"
"You are a teachable boy. If you do this, you will have a solid foundation. And your losses will be made up in the future. Three years later, the county will be rich and the people will be strong. The tax revenue will be much higher than today's figures. First, feed the people, then use them. Those who cannot escape from your palm are just fattened. If the chicken is not fattened, it will never lay eggs. Don't just care about the immediate benefits."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Changtian nodded immediately. He felt that every word Huang Li said made sense and he benefited a lot from it.
"Okay, that's it for now. If you have any questions, come and ask me. Where should I go now?"
Huang Li turned his head to look at Xiao Changtian and asked.
Xiao Changtian took out a mask and a black robe from his space ring and said to Huang Li:
"Teacher, I'm sorry to bother you. My father's people are out there, so you can only pretend. You can live in the yard next to mine tonight so that I can take care of you."
Huang Li said nothing, but quietly dressed and followed Xiao Changtian out. As soon as Huang Li and Xiao Changtian walked out of the house, a dark shadow flashed across the roof, like a ghost.
"Master, who is this?" Xiao Hu stood at the door and asked with some confusion when he saw Xiao Changtian and a man in a black robe coming out.
"This is my staff member and the advisor of Zhenxie County. Well, there is nothing for you to do now. Go to the city wall and lend a hand. By the way, seal this place off and stop guarding it."
After Xiao Changtian finished speaking, Xiao Hu immediately obeyed the order, but when Xiao Hu turned around, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if he was laughing at something.
"Teacher Huang Li, this is your room. I'm right next to it. Call me if you need anything. Have a good rest."
Xiao Changtian bowed respectfully and slowly retreated.
"Finally, it's out? Interesting, very interesting, haha."
Huang Li's faint voice had just sounded when another voice suddenly came from beside him.
"Master Huang Li, do you want to rob and kill the shadow guard who is delivering the message to Xiao Changtian?"
A figure slowly emerged, it was Xiao Hu who had just retreated.
"No, there's no need. Why would we rob and kill him? Isn't this exactly what he wants to see? Then let's do as he wants. I can't imagine what the consequences of disrupting Xiao Wuming's plan will be. Haha, then I'll do as he wants."
Huang Li chuckled.
"Master Huang Li, what should we do next?"
Xiao Hu asked with his head down.
"Of course we should follow our eldest master's instructions. We should just do our best to follow his instructions. I also want to take a closer look at what this eldest master Xiao is capable of."
Huang Li said with a smile.
"Yes, then I will withdraw first, Master Huang Li."
Xiao Hu greeted Huang Li and then waved his hand. Xiao Hu immediately disappeared into the shadows.
Five days later, Sword King City.
As the largest family in Jianwang City, the Xiao family is naturally very powerful.
In the secret room of the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Wuming, the owner of the Xiao Mansion, was sitting there. Listening to the report from Shadow below, Xiao Wuming couldn't help but smile.
Shadow naturally didn't dare to say much and just stood quietly aside.
"You mean, no one stopped you on the road? And you came back smoothly all the way?"
Xiao Wuming asked calmly.
"Yes, Master. There was no interception on the road. Maybe I was not discovered."
Shadow said softly.
"Don't mix your thoughts into it. If Huang Li can't even find you, he's not Huang Li anymore. If Huang Li can't even stop you, then he's unworthy of the name of a bird in a cage. You were deliberately released by him to give me a heads-up!"
"Hahaha, interesting. This provocation from Huang Li is interesting. Very interesting."
Xiao Wuming laughed loudly, and a mist gradually rose in his eyes, like a bottomless canyon.
"Keep monitoring them. Since they want to play, I'll play with them."
Xiao Wuming waved his hand and pushed away the shadow.
A murmuring voice came from the secret room:
"I hope it can be more interesting this time, haha."
