Li Dandao directly interrupted the exchange between these social gods: "I took the money because the treasury was in deficit and I needed to fill the hole. The worms who caused the deficit have now been investigated and dealt with."
"As for why your accounts are being checked, you should know that 40% of the tax on incense collected under the jurisdiction of Jingyang County is 40%. How much have you paid in the past few years? This can be checked."
"No, Lord County, it's a year of great disaster! These years have been years of great disaster. The people don't have enough to eat, don't wear warm clothes, and are homeless. Where can there be extra incense for sacrifice? The Lord of the County is making a crime out of nothing!"
Li Dandao smiled and said: "The area around the capital has been settled for a long time. You farm your own land in the countryside and live in Zhuangzi. I heard that some have as few as two hundred private soldiers, and as many as five or six hundred. Although they have no armor, they have swords and weapons. There will be no shortage of bows and arrows.¡±
"If you support private soldiers like this, you still don't have money for incense and sacrifices? What do the poor people outside have to do with you manor owners?"
These social gods were speechless: "County Lord, if you think so, there is nothing we can do."
Li Dandao looked at the local specialties they brought and suddenly asked: "Who did you listen to? I won't meet people without bringing gifts?"
"Didn't you listen to who said that? Isn't it disrespectful to come to see Shangguan without bringing some companions? When we first met Tian County before, we also brought gifts."
"Take these things back and use them to test your superior? Can a superior be able to withstand such a test?"
The gods of society looked at each other: "Is the county king dissatisfied with these?"
Li Dandao shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's none of your business, it's my own fault. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will lead troops to suppress the bandits. How many troops can you send in this town?"
"Ah? County Lord, are you really going to suppress the bandits? This is no joke, it is a bottomless pit. If you want money, we will join in. Don't do this life-threatening thing!"
"Yes, yes! War is not a fight, let alone playing house. These bandits are very fierce!"
As soon as Li Dandao said about suppressing bandits, they started chirping and came up one by one to persuade Li Dandao.
"The general meaning is, don't be too happy about your achievements. You are still young, so just do some messy things. It's not worth it to risk your life. Just forget it and don't take them with you."
As soon as Li Dandao knocked on the token, the entire City God's Mansion was shaken.
Those social gods fell silent for a moment.
"Are you asking for your opinion on whether you want to go?"
"I'm asking how many people you can send out. If you can't send out people, then I'll pay you, or just detain you. The effect will be the same. When the time comes, you can play as a forward and explore the terrain."
"Li! I have tolerated you for a long time. We are the gods of society. We are in charge of the land and people's livelihood, not war!"
"Do you think of us as your dogs? Don't say that you are just a city god. Even if you are upright, we are not yours to use whenever you want!"
¡°It¡¯s okay to just play with you, but for this life-threatening matter, you still ask us to accompany you to destroy yourself. Isn¡¯t it a bit too much?¡±
"We are all high-ranking Yinsi Zhengshen, and we have returned to the Great God of Thick Earth. We jointly submitted a letter to see if you can still be the city god? With chicken feathers as arrows, you ask, which one of you will obey you? ?¡±
Li Dandao looked at the gods: "Everyone has a great reaction."
It was deserted for a while, so silent that only the crackling of candles in the Chenghuang Mansion could be heard.
Li Dandao continued: "The gold and silver generals who guarded the gate of Jingyang City accepted bribes and let evil spirits into the city privately, killing countless people. This is Jingyang County, let alone your countryside?"
"Is the evil god who sacrifices blood food unable to supervise? Or is he unwilling to do anything?"
"Don't your consciences feel pain for the children who were abducted and the corpses crawling on the mountain roads?"
"As ghosts and gods, you should also be locally elected sages who have won the hearts of the people. Is it because the incense is poisonous that you have become like this?""You have the nerve to call yourself the righteous god of the earth? Have you done what a righteous god should do?"
"I think my words have deeply touched your souls, so I won't waste any more words."
"You can leave now."
"It's just that I advise you to think clearly. Should you choose to join forces with the gangsters and fight me to the end, or choose to accompany me to exterminate the gangsters and start something new?"
After Li Dandao finished speaking, he turned around and left. The group of social gods looked at each other in disbelief and then left one by one.
They just have their own concerns, and they are obviously thinking about this matter.
Li Dandao said to Ran Qing: "You go first, take the people, pretend to be gangsters, intercept them on the road, and teach them a lesson! Don't kill them, just give them a beating. After the beating, go directly to Yongle Town. Pretend to be a ghost and attack the town."
His grandma¡¯s! How dare you scold me for being petty! The more I think about it, the angrier I get. I would definitely be sorry for myself if I didn¡¯t give him a beating.
Li Dandao thought about it again and called the shadow demon Ji Jingxu: "You should stay hidden and follow them. If there are any reactionary thoughts, please tell me in time."
After issuing these two instructions, I felt much better.
I started to check the people¡¯s livelihood account books of these social gods, and found that although there were more accounts than before, they were still essentially fake accounts, and the loopholes in them were extremely obvious.
Suddenly he was not in the mood to continue reading: "Take it and burn it! Tang Qiu'er, go and investigate, whether you do it openly or secretly, make a real book for me. Cui Gang, you go with me, Jingyang County If you don¡¯t understand the people¡¯s livelihood conditions, how can you issue government orders?¡±
Cui Gang and Tang Qiuer nodded immediately.
Li Dandao took out the one million ghost coins printed last time and said: "Take it and train me a group of Dong Sanlang's rampant soldiers, as well as those Yin soldiers who lacked weapons last time, and replenish their weapons." superior."
"Two thousand soldiers and horses must be gathered together, and the dog ghosts must be subdued and trained. Waiting for the Yuan Dharma Assembly on the Lantern Festival, I will train them together."
"Now I will write a message to the capital city god to suppress bandits and ask the city gods in the neighboring counties to cooperate with each other."
"Then let's see if the county princes in the Yang world can also jointly launch a campaign to suppress the bandits. We, the Yin and Yang parties, will act together and we won't be afraid that things will not work out." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
