Dongxincheng! Pang Tai Wei''s mansion.
"How''s the news?" Pang Tai Wei looks at his subordinates.
"The gods are calm. Although the emperor received the news, he did not say anything." An official said respectfully.
"The Emperor didn''t say anything, that''s good. It seems that I did the right thing." Pang Tai Wei was satisfied for a moment.
"Taiwei, the money has been returned, the people have been stable, and everything has been restored before. However, Wang Xiong has been exempted from tax for a year, and our financial balance is somewhat...!" Another official looked ugly.
"How long will our balance cover all expenses?" Pang Tai Wei frowned.
"One year''s hard work!" The official said with a wry smile.
"A year? That''s enough Pang Tai Wei said in a deep voice.
"No, Tai Wei, it''s been a year of hard work! It is to pay salaries to a group of our officials for one year. There is no surplus. The Taiwei had to buy out some other officials'' money. There is no money left for Taiwei to do other things, that is to say, we can only defend this year, and we can''t attack any more! " The official said with a wry smile.
"Can only keep it? Hum, even if I keep it, the power I hold is not comparable to that of Wang Xiong? If we don''t open up, we won''t open up. Wang Xiong? Let''s keep playing with him. Hum, isn''t wang Xiong rich in money? Then name him and help him spend money. When he runs out of money, I''ll see what he will do Pang Tai Wei''s eyes were frozen.
"Name it?"
"Yes, there were many projects postponed in the past in major cities? As far as dongxincheng is concerned, there are three rivers to harness, five areas to separate water and sewage, and eight droughts to be solved! I couldn''t do it before. Now, it''s all to Wang Xiong. What do I think he should do? Is there a lot of ten million spirit stones? He will soon run out of money if he can''t get out. What do I think he will do when he runs out of money? " Pang Tai Wei sneered.
"Once Wang Xiong''s money is used up, will it not be taxed again? At that time, the people will not be willing to change day and night, good governance is not clear, and bad governance will come. Wang Xiong will be scolded to death. Tai Wei, you''re so high, so high A group of officials immediately flattered.
"Yes, yes, yes, so many projects. I''ll see how Wang Xiong gets it. Isn''t he rich? Isn''t he going to take over the eastern fiefdom? This is the suffering of the common people, will he not care? If he doesn''t care, what do the people think of him? "
"Yes, yes, yes. Tell all the people about Wang Xiong''s ten million spirit stones, and force him to spend money. The people must be staring at Wang Kai. I''ll see if he will spend it or not! "
"Yes, yes, ha ha ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha!" Captain Pang laughed.
----------
not long after that, all the people in the eastern fiefdom understood why the king of the Orient was exempt from tax. Ten million spirit stones, what a terrible number.
Many officials jointly expressed the Oriental king and asked him to push the projects of the people. All the people know about the joint name.
Countless people watched eagerly.
Pang Taiwei and his party are waiting for Wang Xiong to make a fool of himself.
Soon, news came from the Oriental palace.
"What? Yes? Did Wang Xiong take it? He knows how much it will cost? " Pang Tai Wei''s face changed and he was surprised.
"There are a total of 1000 large-scale projects. Wang Xiong''s Lingshi, on the one hand, has to pay officials and garrison salaries; on the other hand, he has to take over these projects. Even if he has 10 million spirit stones, he can only last eight months at most!" An official looked ugly.
"Is Wang Xiong really crazy? He didn''t screen and took all of them?" Pang Tai Wei confirmed again.
"Yes, the Oriental palace has already started to post notices, all the next projects! In addition, the government should be informed to cooperate with them as much as possible! " Said the official.
"Tai Wei, shall we cooperate?" An official looked ugly.
"Cooperate! If you don''t cooperate, Wang Xiong just withdraws his capital, and dirty water will be poured on us. Hum, cooperate, then cooperate. I''ll see what he will do after eight months! " Pang Tai Wei''s face was ferocious.
---------
Oriental palace, in the main hall.
Wang Xiong was drinking tea, and in front of him stood a group of anxious servants.
"Lord, what you promised is too reckless
"Yes, just now we have calculated, so many projects have been accepted, and 10 million spirit stones are not enough!"
"Lord, this is the plot of Captain Pang!"
"Lord, we can''t take it!"
…………………………

……
The faces of the subordinates were anxious.
Even Wang Tiance is restless, because Wang Tiance also sees the sinister intention of Pang Tai Wei. This is to kidnap Wang Xiong with righteousness and force him to spend money.
Eight months later, there are still four months. What should I do if there is no money available in those four months?
All the people are like ants on a hot pot, only Wang Xiong is alone. He sits there, quietly drinking tea, and listening to a group of his subordinates.
Wang Zhongquan stood aside, and did not interrupt from the beginning to the end. He only looked at Wang Kai with doubts occasionally.There was a lot of noise in the hall for a period of time. Seeing that Wang Kai didn''t speak, they all quieted down and looked at Wang Kai together.
"Finished?" Wang Xiong said lightly.
"Lord!" All of them were anxious to drink together.
"Don''t worry. Can''t I see the plot of Captain Pang? Oh Wang Xiong sneered.
"And the Lord will take it?" Wang Tiance said eagerly.
All the officials had the same expression.
"Why not? Pang Tai Wei is making a show for the king! Don''t you see, just these days, how many people are deeply moved, and don''t you see the rolling air transport flowing from all directions to the east town? " Wang Xiong said with a smile.
As soon as Wang Xiong said that, the crowd was slightly stunned.
"Yes, these days, the sky, the sea, the golden light, more and more air gathered! However, after eight months, we will have no money. If we go to collect taxes, the people will riot, and our fortune may be ruined. " Wang Tiance was worried.
Everyone is equally anxious.
"The people''s will is not to be deceived!" Wang Xiong shook his head.
"Ah?" The crowd was puzzled.
"We are good to the people. Don''t the people know that? This time, Pang Tai Wei has publicized all these projects to the people. The common people are grateful for the king''s reckless action for the people, and naturally they are gradually united with the palace. Don''t worry, don''t worry Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"But eight months later...!" People worried.
"Don''t worry, go and see what the people say, and then come back to discuss business." Wang Xiong said with a smile.
All the officials nodded in a daze.
------------
the eastern fiefs, thirty-six cities, and the entrances of the major cities were surrounded by the common people.
"Dongxincheng, the dead River governance, ah, finally managed, the Lord really agreed!"
"That''s great. The discharge of water and sewage there has always been a big problem. Once it rains, it will be flooded, and the Lord has agreed to deal with it!"
"It''s better to be king!"
"Yes, I heard that the king paid all the money by himself and by himself."
"It''s not just our cities. It''s said that all the cities in the fief are like this. The Lord has taken all the big projects down! How much will it cost? "
"Don''t use tax, use your own money, the Lord is really a good man!"
"Yes, we suffered in the past. That Captain Pang took so much tax money from us, but he didn''t see him helping us manage. He also used these projects to cheat the Lord''s money. What a jerk!"
"Yes, the king''s ten million spirit stones are all earned by God''s life."
"The Lord spent his own money to help us. Captain Pang never works for us when he takes our taxes! "
"If you don''t have enough money, I''d like to donate money to help you!"
"Yes, we must drive captain Pang out of the eastern fiefdom. What a good man the Lord is!"
"The two princes are good people. Only when the Lord is in power can we have a good life. Captain Pang, get out of here!"

The comments of the people in the big cities quickly spread to the Oriental palace. Once again, the officials gathered in the hall of Wang Xiong.
"Lord, the people''s feelings and wind direction have changed. At first, our people were sandwiched among them to guide them, but later they didn''t use them at all." Wang Tiance said in surprise.
"Yes, people all over the country are looking forward to the king''s recovery of the cities! I heard that there are still people who want to donate voluntarily! " Wang Zhongyang said with a smile.
"Donation is not needed. Once the people donate money, Pang Tai Wei will have an excuse to attack again!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"I seem to see the old days of the Lord, and the people loved him!" Wang Tiance sighed.
"Yes, yes, Captain Pang is stealing chicken and not eating rice this time. Ha ha!" The officials laughed.
Wang Xiong smiles. Because at this moment, I had expected it. Because, now, Wang Xiong is right. Everything is learned from the famous, occupies the moral!
No matter what kind of war, when it comes to morality, it will go all the way. The people''s will and the people''s expectations will be satisfied. Everything will come naturally.
Captain Pang? In other people''s eyes, it''s just like a mountain. In Wang Xiong''s eyes, it''s just like this.
"But, Lord, if you don''t accept donations, what will you do after eight months?" Wang Tiance worried.
"Don''t worry about it. I''ll take care of it." Wang Xiong said lightly.
"But, this time, Captain Pang played a conspiracy to force us to spend money so quickly that we would not continue to shoot cold arrows. He wants to move again...! " Wang Tiance looks ugly.
Wang Xiong''s eyes narrowed slightly and said, "yes, it''s time to find something for him to do!"
"Do you have any idea?" Wang Tiance''s eyes brightened.
"To collect the eastern fiefdoms, I have four steps. The first step is to tax-free for one year. It''s time for the second step! " Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes."The second step?" The crowd was slightly stunned.
Four steps? When did the Lord think of the four steps? The first step, tax-free for a year, will stir up the eastern fiefdoms, the Lord still has three steps to follow? Is this, is it true?
"The second step is to join the ranks of the nobility." Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"To join the ranks? Who will be added to the rank? " Wang Tiance was slightly stunned.
"In the eastern fiefdoms, all the important officials should join the ranks of the Knights and become officials!" Wang Xiong said with a smile.
"Why?" The officials were puzzled.
