"I owe 40 million taels of taxes in three years."

Mo Zizai was silent for a moment, then slowly breathed, "What a courage, how dare they!"

"Your Majesty has no choice."

After knowing that the empress must be the hostess of the royal palace, Jia Fu also began to defend the empress in his words. "The powerful families in the Jiangnan region colluded with local officials, and most of the people in the Ministry of Revenue were from Jiangnan, so the entire Jiangnan region can be said to be a solid piece, and even His Majesty could not intervene."

"In the first year, Your Majesty sent the censor to supervise the Jiangnan area, but as soon as the censor went, some chaos broke out, which almost caused civil unrest in the Jiangnan area."

"In addition, at that time, the war in the East was intensifying. In desperation, His Majesty had no choice but to turn a blind eye to the tax arrears in Jiangnan."

"Those people in Jiangnan eat the food of those aristocratic families and plant the land of those aristocratic families. It is natural that those aristocratic families want to stir up the civil unrest." Mo Zizai didn't know what he was thinking, and his tone was a little cold: "But they probably forgot that the land in the world belongs to the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou belongs to my Mo family!"

After saying this, Mo Zizai's tone returned to calm, "But it doesn't matter. I'll remind them when I have time. I hope they won't regret it then."

Although Mo Zizai's tone was very calm, Jia Fu couldn't help but feel the trembling heart after hearing this. He, who knew Mo Zizai very well, could naturally understand Mo Zizai's murderous intent hidden in peace from this sentence.

He has never seen Mo Zizai grow up since childhood, and he has never seen Mo Zizai have such a strong desire to kill. This made him silently pray for the aristocratic families in Jiangnan in his heart, praying that they would be harder so that their prince could kill him more.

Otherwise, if this murderous intention is always in my heart, it will be bad for the prince.

There was nothing to say along the way, and several carriages filled with military weapons slowly drove into a manor near Zizai Palace.

Because the establishment of the East Factory was too hasty, the base was not selected for a while, so Jia Fu rented the manor for a price of 100 or 200 yuan and used it as a temporary office of the East Factory.

As for why a person who can buy such a big house here rented out the manor for only one hundred taels of silver, Jia Fu felt that it was probably because he put the knife on his neck, which made him a little moved.

After all, there are few people who can refuse with power and the other hand. In addition, the manor was originally idle by the merchant, so he happily rented the manor out.

After learning that Mo Zizai had arrived in person, among the three leaders of the East Factory, Liu Hong and Sun Ji, rushed over to pay their respects.

"I have met the prince and the general manager Jia."

"Okay, don't give me any gifts." Mo Zizai waved his hand and said, "Liu Hong, I will bring back a thousand sets of Yuzhishi's equipment from the Military Weapons Bureau. You can change it to all your subordinates."

"From today, your Dongchang will have all the powers of Yuzhiji. I hope you don't let me down."

"I wish to die for the prince!"

Liu Hong's tone was a little excited. He was a person who was unwilling to be mediocre. He originally thought that he would die of old age in the Ming Palace in his life. Unexpectedly, Mo Zizai suddenly appeared and gave him another chance. This time he would definitely seize this opportunity!

If there are some groups in the world who know the rules the most, they are undoubtedly eunuchs in the palace. People who don’t know the rules will die long ago when they live in the palace.

Under such rules, they did everything in an orderly manner, with more than 500 people, and almost no time, all of them were armed.

The beast swallowing knife, Qianjun crossbow, and soft armor in the lining are the three-piece sets that Yuzhisi is standard. At this time, it looks quite like that when worn by the people in the East Factory.

In addition to these three standard equipment, Yuzhiji should also have a green scale suit and a token, but these things need to be customized and will take two days to make them, so they were not sent together this time.

After the people from the East Factory finished wearing the equipment, Mo Zizai stood at the front of the team, looking at the five hundred well-equipped Dong Factory guards, and said with a solemn expression: "Since you have put on this set of clothes, I hope you can understand one thing. From now on, you will be the knife in my hand. I hope you will not let me down."

"I wish to die for the prince!"

More than 500 people knelt on one knee without any hesitation and swore allegiance to one knee.

They were originally royal slaves, and they had no slight resistance to their loyalty to Mo Zizai. What's more, Mo Zizai had the orders of His Majesty today, so there was no problem.

Mo Zizai was not very good at giving speeches. He glanced at the five hundred people who were kneeling down and did not say anything more. Instead, he nodded and said to Jia Fu next to him: "Jia Fu, the Yuefeng of the East Factory will be temporarily paid by the royal family. If they have any needs, they will try to meet them as much as possible."

After saying that, Mo Zizai turned his head and said to Liu Hong, "Liu Hong, you are the admiral of the East Factory. If you have any needs, you can tell Jia Fu directly that if Jia Fu has something that cannot be done, come and find me again."

"Thank you, Prince!"

Liu Hong bowed respectfully. With Mo Zizai's words, his East Factory would no longer be troubled by material things.

Mo Zizai did not stay in the East Factory for a long time. After making the matter clear, he went quietly with Jia Fu and the others to the suburbs of the city, where not only did Jia Fu buy the fields, but also the Yuzhiwei summoned by Zhou Qi.

By the time Mo Zizai and Jia Fu arrived, Zhou Qi had been waiting for a long time.

"How is it, are you all ready?"

Mo Zizai looked at the terrain that was basically unhindered except for the yard in front of him, and nodded slightly in his heart. This endless terrain is the most suitable for being a base.

No matter who you are, once you get close, you will be discovered immediately, eliminating the possibility of leaks to the greatest extent.

Hearing Mo Zizai's question, Zhou Qi nodded and said, "It has been arranged, two thousand Yuzhiwei, and the statues of the gods are ready now."

"good."

Mo Zizai nodded, and did not drag it down. He directly used the accelerator to add all the people nearby, including Jia Fu, to the low-level acceleration list.

This was something he discussed with Zhou Qi, using the statue as a cover to speed up the cultivation speed of these imperial guards.

Of course, Zhou Qi would not directly reveal that the cultivation level was accelerated because of the statue of the gods. He would only make people protect the statue of the gods at all costs. As for what the traitor who may exist in Yuzhi Weizhong would think, then don’t care about him.

After all, sometimes the answers found by yourself will make people believe that they are not.

...

After arranging the affairs of both Yuzhishi and Dongchang, Mo Zizai had nothing particularly important. While understanding the situation in the court with the empress every day, he silently waited for the marriage date to be set.

Mo Zizai spent seven days like this before the Imperial Heaven Supervision calculated the auspicious day and completely set the wedding date.

According to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, every major festival or when something major happens in the country, a grand dynasty meeting will be held.

The emperor's marriage is naturally a major event in the country, so the dynasty will be tomorrow.

PS: Changchao also refers to the morning court. Ministers get it at five o'clock every morning, just like at work, but there should be fewer officials. Only important officials are qualified to attend the morning court.

The Great Dynasty has not been held several times a year, and every time it is held, officials above the sixth rank in the capital will attend.
