Dreaming back to Jiangnan Peach Blossom, the Yin-Yang Spider that had been carefully cultivated since the moment it entered the game, spent a large amount of money and energy, and when it was about to mature, it was enjoyed by Dongfang Qingyu.
If Dongfang Qingyu did not take out the Dhyana of Happiness, he would only be able to obtain 50% of the benefits at most. The greatness of the Dhyana of Happiness was magnified, doubling the pleasure and doubling the energy. In addition, the Dream Back to Jiangnan Peach Blossom was the master of the Yin Yang Spider, so it was the most suitable carrier of this energy.
Under the stimulation of the Dhyana, the two of them gained between 180% and 190%. This kind of result was something that not only Dongfang Qingyu did not expect, but even he himself did not expect.
After absorbing the last bit of life essence, Dongfang Qingyu stopped. The closed eyes of the Dream of Back to the Jiangnan Peach Blossom twisted its body in dissatisfaction, urging Dongfang Qingyu to move quickly, but there was no response. It couldn't help but open its eyes, and when it saw Dongfang Qingyu smirking at her, it couldn't help but feel ashamed. It wished that it could find a hole to hide in. The sense of shame made her push Dongfang Qingyu's chest hard, and in the next second, Dongfang Qingyu started to move. The sense of shame from the Dream of Back to the Jiangnan Peach Blossom was quickly dispersed, and she felt as if she was floating in the clouds...
Three hours later, Dongfang Qingyu returned to the mind of Black Tortoise City. He was still thinking about his dream of Jiangnan's peach blossoms. He was a little annoyed. When he was enjoying it, it was very comfortable, but later on, he found that it was full of trouble.
I had made up my mind not to mess with women, and I hadn't even thought about what to do with them, and now I was screwing with another one.
He didn't know how to deal with her. After that, he left without saying a word. He didn't ask her to stay, nor did he say anything about revenge. Her expression was very complicated.
"Why can't I hold it in?" Dongfang Qingyu sighed and used the words' men are animals that think with their lower bodies' to numb himself.
The servant girl came to report that she wanted to see him.
"It's been hard on you these past few days." Dongfang Qingyu looked at the energetic words and nodded. The holidays were the busiest time for the security side.
Other units could rest, or at the very least, they could take turns working. Only the public security side was on duty 24 hours a day.
"It's not hard. Being busy makes me feel the meaning of life," said Dui Love Square loudly.
"Why are you in such a hurry to come over? What happened? Don't tell me you want a red packet from me?" Dongfang Qingyu joked.
"The Imperial Court just issued an order to increase the taxes by 10%."
"How much?" Dongfang Qingyu thought he had misheard.
"10%!" The word cube said.
"Who gave the order?" The smile on Dongfang Qingyu's face disappeared.
"The inner pavilion has also added the seal of the Ministry of Finance," The word cube said.
"Is the Imperial Court crazy?" Dongfang Qingyu could not understand. The Imperial Court's taxes were already very high, 21.75%. Adding 10%, that would be 31.75%. Aren't they afraid that the people below would rebel?
"It was very sudden. There was no sign before." Duai Square said.
"Is it only like this in Green Dragon City?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I'm afraid not. I saw the imperial eunuch go to White Tiger City and Vermillion Bird City," Squares said.
"Where's Black Tortoise City?" Just as Dongfang Qingyu finished asking, Wang Feiyan rushed over. Looking at her expression, Dongfang Qingyu had a bad premonition.
"The Imperial Court has ordered for Black Tortoise City to deploy 200,000 migrant workers to Mang Mountain to build a palace." Wang Feiyan said.
"200,000?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at Wang Feiyan.
"Yes, and it's very urgent. We have to leave within three days, and within ten days, we have to arrive at Mang Mountain. Anyone who violates this rule will be punished for deceiving the sovereign." Wang Feiyan said.
"Where is Mang Mountain? What kind of palace is there?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"About 3,500 kilometers to the northwest. As for what it looks like, we are still investigating. There are no detailed places at the moment, and there are no palaces there." Wang Feiyan said.
"Has the Emperor gone crazy? How can there be so many people taking away two hundred thousand migrant workers at once? What about wages? What about food? Who will pay?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"We!" Wang Feiyan said.
"There's a problem!" Dongfang Qingyu said.
"I've already sent people to the Forbidden City to investigate the situation." Wang Feiyan said.
"You don't know what kind of palace to build? You don't know how long it will take?" Dongfang Qingyu asked.
"I don't know." Wang Feiyan shook her head. The eunuch who passed down the decree didn't know much either.
"Two hundred thousand people's food and clothing, as well as their wages, is not a small number." Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Regardless of salary, just eating alone costs about 3.5 million RMB a day. One month is more than 100 million." Wang Feiyan said.
"Just our city? What about the other cities? " Just as Dongfang Qingyu finished asking, he received a call from Han Shasha. She had also received a decree from the Forbidden City, sending out 250,000 migrant workers to Mang Mountain to build a palace.
"250,000, 200,000 more than us." Dongfang Qingyu frowned deeply.
"The same goes for 'Ten Thousand Lanterns' and 'Dream City'. 250,000 migrant workers," Wang Feiyan said.
"So that means we took advantage of him. The old emperor still took care of us?" Dongfang Qingyu said. Wang Feiyan did not reply. Two hundred thousand migrant workers was not a small amount.
"Don't worry, I'll go to Azure Dragon City first." Dongfang Qingyu said to Wang Feiyan and Square. He went straight to the Forbidden City to find out from the emperor that a 10 percent increase in taxation would upset the merchants, and a conscription of 950,000 migrant workers would have unpredictable consequences for the current situation with the Crimson Fire Green-Golden Niwan Ant.
He didn't enter the Forbidden City and was stopped by Eunuch Wang. Eunuch Wang seemed to know he was coming back and waited at the door.
"Eunuch Wang, what's going on? All of a sudden, there's a conscription of migrant workers and a tax increase? Is something big happening?" Dongfang Qingyu was very anxious.
