In Xianwu, people evolve infinitely starting from the prince

Tap, tap, tap!

Just when Yang An was moved by the power of the Jinwu Guard's Golden Dragon Spirit Armor.

A heavy footstep suddenly came to his ears.

It was a Jinwu Guard captain who was responsible for guarding the entrance of the Guanfengtai. He strode over and reported respectfully: "Your Highness, the person responsible for destroying the Jinhai Gang's headquarters in the city has returned, saying that there is something important to report!"

"Let him come up!"

Yang An heard the report from the Jinwu Guard captain and said expressionlessly.

In fact, compared to what the Jinwu Guard captain who led the team to destroy the Jinhai Gang's headquarters in Tiannan City wanted to report, Yang An wanted to know more about their gains from this trip.

The Jinhai Gang has been rooted in Tiannan City for hundreds of years. It is very large and its strength cannot be underestimated. It has always monopolized Haizhou's water transport, salt and iron, smuggling and other businesses.

Its accumulation over a hundred years is by no means a small number.

Don't look at Yang An's reasons, which are high-sounding, as if he is preparing for the future rule of Haizhou.

In fact, he was eyeing the century-old accumulation of the Jinhai Gang.

Such a Jinhai Gang.

If he could not plunder 1,800 hundred hundred precious medicines and 18 million taels of gold and silver treasures.

Then it can only be said that the leaders of the Jinhai Gang in all generations are useless and don't even know how to make money.

Defeat the Jinhai Gang, complete the eleventh extraordinary evolution, and obtain the combat power of the first-grade heavenly master of martial arts.

Then, severely squeeze the local families and martial arts sects of Haizhou, continue to evolve three or five times, and break through the realm of the first-grade heavenly master of martial arts.

Wait until these families and martial arts sects in Haizhou are almost squeezed.

Then directly push the South Sea Pirate Alliance, wipe out the White Beard Pirates, and then plunder the resources of the South Sea Pirates.

Finally, directly show the realm strength of the first-grade grandmaster of martial arts, pat your butt, return to Tianjing City to inherit the position of the Daqian Prince, and enjoy the resources treatment that belongs to the Daqian Prince.

King of Haizhou?

King of the Sea?

Sorry.

He really doesn't care!

So he doesn't care whether his behavior will completely offend the local noble families, martial arts sects, etc. in Haizhou.

All he wants is resources.

Huge resources that can support his continuous evolution.

What kind of beauty, fame and power, all come after this.

Of course, this does not mean that Yang An has become a demon for his own evolution.

But he knows very well that he can enjoy life better after he becomes strong to a certain extent, instead of living hard for three meals a day.

If he is still in the Blue Star World.

Others ask Yang An whether he should get married first or start a business first?

He will tell everyone to make money first.

Because only with money can you enjoy life and solve 90% of the troubles in the world.

In this world of immortals and martial arts, money is no longer the first priority, and one's own strength is the foundation. As long as one's own strength is strong enough, 99% of the troubles in the world can be completely solved.

The last 0.01% of troubles require you to become stronger.

So don't look at Yang An's various operations. In fact, his fundamental purpose is only one.

That is to plunder as many resources as possible, strengthen oneself as much as possible, and make oneself stronger.

Therefore, he was not interested in the report of the Jinwuwei captain who led the team to wipe out the Jinhai Gang in Tiannan City.

He just wanted to know what they gained from this trip.

Did they bring back all the money and resources of the Jinhai Gang?

Of course, this idea must not be said openly, after all, he is the thirteenth prince of Daqian and he has to save face.

The century-old wealth accumulation of the Jinhai Gang is not enough for him to throw his face on the ground and step on it.

If it is replaced by the nine sects and six ways, the wealth accumulation of the twelve families in the world is about the same.

Yang An thought a little greedily.

Tap tap tap!

A heavy footsteps sounded in Yang An's ears, interrupting his fantasy directly.

A Jinwu Guard Captain, who was similar in height and build to the previous Jinwu Guard Captain, came in front of him and bowed, saying, "I, Qi Ruohai, pay my respects to Your Highness."

"Captain Qi, please stand up!"

Yang An said with a smile, his attitude was kind, and people felt like they were in the spring breeze.

Treat people who can bring resources and benefits to yourself.

He has always been so kind.

"Captain Qi led the team to wipe out the Jinhai Gang's headquarters in the city this time, and his contribution is quite great. This king has also seen it."

Yang An still had a smile on his face, and praised Qi Ruohai in front of him.

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, and continued, "By the way, Captain Zhang just said that Captain Qi made a major discovery during the encirclement and suppression of the Jinhai Gang this time, and there is something important that needs to be reported to this king, but I don't know what it is?"

Although I really want to ask about the gains this time.

But Yang An also wants to save face.

How can I ask such a vulgar question in public, in front of so many people.

So the best way is to send someone to do a careful inventory later.

"Your Highness, during the encirclement and suppression of the Jinhai Gang's Tiannan City headquarters, the deputy leader of the Jinhai Gang, Ma Yuanfeng, surrendered directly and claimed that he had all the smuggling accounts of the Jinhai Gang and evidence of the Jinhai Gang's collusion with many officials of the Tiannan City families. I want to report it to your Highness in person."

Qi Ruohai reported in a deep voice, and did not mention that Gu Yunfeng wanted to kill Ma Yuanfeng to silence him.

First, there was no evidence.

Second, because Gu Yunfeng's identity was there, he did not want to offend him.

The third reason is that Qi Ruohai felt that there was no need for him to report the matter. With Yang An's means, he must have sent his confidants to accompany him secretly in the operation to encircle and suppress the Tiannan City headquarters of the Jinhai Gang.

Gu Yunfeng's every move could not be hidden from Yang An's eyes and ears.

Of course, there is also the most important point.

That is, as one of the 24 guards of the emperor, the Jinwu Guards only obey the emperor's edict, are not subject to the control of the princes and princes, and cannot have close contacts with the princes.

After being on duty in the palace for a long time, he naturally knows not to ask what he shouldn't ask and not to say what he can't say.

In the absence of solid evidence.

The crime of slandering a royal relative is still very serious.

So Qi Ruohai did not mention Gu Yunfeng when reporting to Yang An.

Of course, this is also because Gu Yunfeng did not go too far and did not continue to take action after Ma Yuanfeng expressed his surrender.

Otherwise, even if Qi Ruohai wanted to pretend that he didn't see it, it would not work.

"Deputy gang leader, smuggling account books? Evidence of collusion?"

Yang An was slightly stunned when he heard Qi Ruohai's report, then he smiled and said, "In that case, bring the person up to me."

This is really like someone delivering a pillow just when he was about to fall asleep.

With the evidence of the Jinhai Gang, he can definitely make a lot of money and bite off a piece of fat meat from these aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou.

This is much less influential than using the reason of "hiding population and land" to attack the local forces in Haizhou, and there is no need to worry about the impeachment of the aristocratic families and officials in the court.

Even if Yang An is more ruthless, he can completely use the matter of the Jinhai Gang to squeeze once, and then use the matter of hiding population and land to squeeze these aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou.

I can only say.

The aristocratic families and martial arts sects in this world are too bad.

If you really want to find evidence of guilt, you can easily find a lot of them.

Hiding the population, concealing the land, oppressing the people, colluding with bandits, persecuting the people, trafficking in people, killing and arson, bullying and dominating the market, etc., there is nothing that these noble families and martial arts sects dare not do unless you can think of it.

To paraphrase a famous saying on the Internet in the previous life, that is: "If you kill all the noble families, martial arts sects, and others in the world, there must be some innocent people, but if you kill nine and let one go, there will definitely be a lot of fish that slip through the net."

Because martial arts practice pays the most attention to resources, even a ninth-grade warrior cannot be supported by an ordinary family.

And where do the noble families, martial arts sects, or gangs and cults in this world get their practice resources from?

It can't be that they are from their own family members or disciples who open up wasteland and cultivate land, right?

The most important thing is, even if you open up wasteland and cultivate land, have you reported the land information to the court, and paid the head tax and land tax?

The most terrifying thing is that the problem of land annexation in this world has reached a very terrifying level.

Even if the imperial court constantly relocated the people and encouraged the lower-class people to cultivate the wasteland, it was difficult to satisfy the appetite of the local aristocratic families.

Many times, the people would be seized by the local landlords and tyrants within one or two years of cultivating the wasteland issued by the imperial court, and become hired farmers or slaves of the aristocratic families.

There was no way.

Land annexation had been thoroughly played by the aristocratic families in this world tens of thousands of years ago.

Real self-employed farmers only exist in history books, and the middle class almost does not exist.

As for making money with ideas?

That's pure nonsense.

In any business in the feudal era, the most important thing is always the personal connection.

If it were an ordinary feudal dynasty, there would at least be a class of small landlords and small merchants.

Unfortunately, this is the Daqian Dynasty with solidified classes, and the wealth is completely polarized.

Today's Daqian Dynasty is completely dominated by aristocratic families and martial arts sects, and almost any business is inseparable from them.

For example, the slightly more profitable business in Tiannan City is supported by one or more forces behind it, many of which the Governor of Haizhou is unwilling to offend.

And the small businesses with less profits are also closely related to the gangs in Tiannan City.

Without some connections, even if you want to set up a stall to sell bowls of glutinous rice, there will be scoundrels who will directly overturn your stall.

In such a social environment.

You say that there are aristocratic families, martial arts sects, etc. who are kind and not stained with the slightest sin?

How is this possible.

So Yang An has absolutely no psychological burden to attack the local aristocratic families and martial arts sects in Haizhou.

Of course, he doesn't think he is a good person.

After all, as a prince of the Daqian Dynasty, he is also a carnivore, and a top carnivore.

What he does now is nothing more than big fish eating small fish, small fish eating shrimps, and shrimps eating algae.

The strong prey on the weak, and it has been like this since ancient times!
