Chapter 553

The wind, thunder, water, ice and gold, the five qi swords burst out, and the nameless urged the seven layers of power to suppress it. Although he suppressed www.biquge.info the Silent Knife, he failed to make it surrender, and the Silent Knife was still violently resisting.

Nameless insisted for a while, and suddenly put the Silent Knife back into its sheath, causing the emperor to be surprised: "Mr. Nameless, why can't you convince this treasure knife?" He doubted in his heart that Dongying's knife would not be so strong.

"This knife has been subdued, and the knife spirit would rather be broken than broken. I can forcibly erase the machine spirit, but then the knife will have no spirituality, and if it loses its spirituality, it will become an ordinary treasure knife, which is a pity. Nameless said.

"I see, Mr. Nameless would rather give up a peerless divine weapon for the beauty of adults, which is worthy of the martial arts myth of the Central Plains." Huangying admired, even if it wasn't him, he would say yes.

"Who is the owner of this knife, is it you?" The emperor was displeased.

"It used to be me, but not anymore." Huangying thought that the Central Plains was strong, and maybe he could provoke the emperor and the king of Shu to continue the civil war. So he said: "Don't hide it from Your Majesty, I originally wanted to come to worship the Emperor of the Central Plains, but the South Seas were blocked by the Star Fleet, and they insisted that I go to see the King of Shu first." When I got to the king of Shu, he forced me to hand over the Silent Knife, and I gave him the Silent Knife in desperation. ”

"The king of Shu's miraculous skills are world-rare, and he only took a cup of tea to subdue the Silent Knife. My martial arts skills are not good, and I didn't see Ji Yang doing anything at the time, if it weren't for Mr. Nameless forcing out the power of the King of Shu in the Silent Knife, I would still be in the dark. It's all to blame for not protecting the Silent Knife, letting the King of Shu get involved, and begging His Majesty to atone for his sins. ”

When the Emperor Shadow said this, he felt disgusted, but the human endurance was very strong, and he still said it. These words were half-truths and half-falsehoods, and they just hit the emperor's G-spot, which made him even more dissatisfied with Ji Yang.

"It's the King of Shu again, this guy is getting more and more presumptuous." If it weren't for the Dongying envoy in front, the emperor would probably have to scold for a few more minutes.

When Huang Ying heard the emperor's words, he was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that the emperor and the king of Shu had already had a gap. In this way, it will be easy to do, if there is a civil war between the emperor and the king of Shu, maybe the star fleet will be transferred back, and Dongying will have a chance to breathe.

"Report, the political envoy of Suzhou, Lord Wei, asks to see him." Someone from outside came to report.

"Let him in." The Emperor said.

After a while, an old man in official uniform, about fifty years old and thin, walked in.

Wei Liansong didn't look much after walking in, bowed deeply to the emperor, held a stack of folds in both hands and said: "Minister Wei Liansong has seen His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live long live." Hearing the emperor say that he was alive, he stood up straight.

"Wei Aiqing is here, I don't know why?" The Emperor asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the political envoys of the southern provinces have sent news that there are still many Japanese robbers in various places, and the suffering people are in winter and snow, and the weather is cold, not only do they have nothing to protect themselves from the cold, but there is not enough food to eat. Many people took the opportunity to make rebellion, arson and plunder, the provincial garrisons were heavily damaged by Wushuang City and Dongying people before, and they were unable to suppress the thieves and rescue the disaster, so I implored the emperor to send people to pacify the provinces. Wei Liansong knelt down and offered a stack of folds with both hands.

The emperor had just established the country, and his main focus was on military affairs, and civil affairs were handed over to Wei Liansong.

"Bring it to me." The Emperor said.

One of the guards went up and took a stack of folds and handed them to the emperor, who opened them one by one and looked at them.

At first, the emperor just frowned, and the more he looked at the fold, the tighter his brows became, and finally the emperor's eyes showed anger, his face was swollen red, and he slammed the fold on the ground: "There is a snow disaster in Jinan, there are widows in Fuzhou, and even the little Yue Kingdom has come to take advantage of the fire to rob." There are tens of millions of victims in various places, who have no food and no clothing, how can they survive this cold winter! I am ashamed of my ancestors and the people. ”

After speaking, the emperor turned his anger into sadness, revealing a trace of self-reproach.

"The sin of the minister deserves death." Wei Liansong crawled down.

"It's none of your business, it's all my fault, I can't stop the Japanese and the old thieves, and they will plague the people of the Central Plains. The Central Plains is restless, I am guilty, and I am guilty of my own edict at the moment! The Emperor said.

"Your Majesty." Everyone present, even Huangying was moved by him.

Ignoring the dissuasion of everyone, the emperor quickly wrote an edict to his own guilt, the content of which was nothing more than a review of his own lack of virtue, which provoked the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people, the rebels seized power, and the Japanese were rampant.

As soon as this edict came out, it quickly spread all over the country under the vigorous publicity below. I don't know how many people were moved by the emperor and transferred all their hatred to the Wakou and Dugu side.

At the same time, in order to raise money for the emperor, Nameless personally went to negotiate with the rich people in the south.

With the nameless influence in the Central Plains, as well as the emperor's backer, who dares not to go to the name. At the beginning, Nameless Xiaozhi moved with emotion, hoping that these huge riches would donate more money for disaster relief and raise military salaries for the sake of the people's suffering.

But which of these super-rich people is not a human spirit, how can they be moved by reason, they only value profits. However, under the nameless prestige and the authority of the emperor, they still gritted their teeth and scraped together a million taels of silver.

Nameless said that he got a million taels of silver in most of the day, and he was so angry that he almost drew his sword and killed these huge rich. This has to blame Qin Liangyu, who exposed the old bottom of these huge riches, otherwise with the nameless and the emperor's previous urine sex, he would make up one million and not know how happy it is.

Nameless was angry, and the emperor was even more angry, and immediately ordered Qin Liangyu to find a way to raid the house. But Qin Liangyu refused this task, the reason was very simple, if the army was not paid, the Shizhu army would not work. If Qin Liangyu hadn't been pressing, the Shizhu Army would have rebelled, and these young people would not be vegetarians.

The Stone Pillar Army went on strike, and the matter of collecting evidence and raiding the house could only be handed over to the National Salvation Army.

"Just this Wang family, a large weaver in Suzhou, the industry is bigger than the manufacturing bureau of the imperial court. According to the estimation of the account office, the Wang family's property has 200 million taels of silver, almost catching up with Shen Wansan. Jian Chen was holding a roster with the names and wealth valuations of more than twenty southern super-riches.

To tell the truth, when he got this roster, Jian Chen was so shocked that he almost swallowed his tongue. There are more than 20 super-rich people above, and the one with the most total assets is called Ding Xiuyue, which has reached 500 million taels of silver.

However, according to the information, Ding Xiuyue seems to have something to do with the King of Shu, so Jian Chen didn't dare to check randomly.

"Encroaching on 100,000 acres of fertile land, changing rice to mulberry, forcing good people to become prostitutes, bribing the government, colluding with Dugu old thieves, and even funding to help Dongying people build warships, these crimes are enough to raid the Wang family ten times!" The emperor got a few boxes of incriminating evidence, and with a wave of his hand, the National Salvation Army began to act.

Suzhou is the scope of Dugu's domination, and it is also the businessman of Dugu. After Wushuang City was destroyed, the Wang family knew that something was wrong, and began to secretly transfer the family property and secretly send some of the juniors away.

When the National Salvation Army entered the Wang family, they still copied out a lot of gold and silver treasures, famous paintings and antiques, with a total value of tens of millions. There were more than 500 people in the Wang family, and the exile of those who cut off their heads and exiled shook all parts of the south for a time.

"Didn't you say that there are 200 million taels of silver, why is it only 15 million taels?" The Emperor was dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, if you add up the royal family's real estate, weaving machinery, and silk goods, there will only be 200 million taels of silver. All this money can be used immediately, and in addition, the Wang family should have sent away a batch of gold, silver and jewelry. Jian Chen said.

"If you dare to do anything when you are dying, can you find out the whereabouts of that batch of gold, silver and jewelry?" The Emperor asked.

"Tracking." Jian Chen said.

"Well, Aiqing has made meritorious contributions to the restoration of the country before, and this time he raised tens of millions of silver taels for me, and I named you a hero, and rewarded you with a python robe, a Shang Fang sword, and 10,000 acres of fertile land." The Emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jian Chen knelt down on one knee.

He had never been in contact with imperial power before, and he didn't care about bureaucratic things, but after contact, Jian Chen found that this thing was not bad. Especially the three words of Hero Hou, with a special magic power, made Jian Chen's eyes swell with a faint light.

Of course, the emperor will not reward Jian Chen alone, Shaolin Wudang, Kunlun and other sects have all received due rewards. However, what these sects needed was not an official title, but royal recognition and a special form of fiefdom.

As for the greatest meritorious man, the nameless, the emperor saw that he did not like power, so he deliberately omitted it. As long as Jian Chen enters the court as an official, Nameless is his master, which is equivalent to indirectly maintaining the emperor.

"Your Majesty, there will be a report at the end." Jian Chen had previously sealed the left wing general of the National Salvation Army.

"Say." The emperor was in a good mood, with more than 10 million taels of silver, the problem of military spending was basically solved. As for the suffering people, the emperor said benevolence and morality, how could he really throw away so much money for them.

After the Wang family was raided, more than 60 workshops under his name stopped working, and more than 70,000 workers made trouble outside. Although it has been suppressed by the National Salvation Army, more than 20,000 people have no food to eat, and I am afraid it is difficult to explain. Jian Chen said.

"How so?" If the emperor was thundered, he copied a big dog and added more than 70,000 victims, how to raise military expenses in the future. Just now, he was thinking that if he copied a few more big dogs, he would not only solve the military spending problem, but also provide some more money to help the people. But after hearing Jian Chen say this, the emperor reacted, and it seemed that it was not so simple to raise money by raiding the house.

"The last general didn't expect it either." Jian Chen said ashamedly.

"General Qin, tell me what's going on." The emperor set his sights on the experienced Qin Liangyu.

"Back to the emperor, this handicraft industry is not as good as the landlord, the landlord can divide the land, and then help the people can cultivate and survive. The handicraft merchants, on the other hand, had fewer fields and were mostly workers, and those who copied them could only divide the silk. Perhaps the 200,000 acres of mulberry fields can be distributed to the people, and some grain can be given to them so that they can plant rice again. Qin Liangyu said.

"Naturally, there is no problem in dividing the fields, but now that it is winter, how can the people grow food. I can only take out a part of the silver money to help them survive the winter, and it should be better when I plough in spring next year. The emperor said helplessly.

"I'm afraid that the matter of copying the house can't be messed up, otherwise there will be tens of thousands of victims in the family, and this money is hot to hold." Jian Chen said.

"It's true that these people have been working for generations, and even if they are given land, it is difficult for them to adapt to farming for a while. What's more, if the 200,000 mu of mulberry fields are divided, and a talent is divided into two or three acres of land, the grain production cannot support a family. Qin Liangyu said.

"Except for the Suzhou and Hangzhou generations, the people in other places have been displaced, and there is no shortage of fields." Jian Chen didn't dare to look at the nameless eyes, and when he said such a thing, he was very entangled in his heart.

"The road is long, and I am afraid that the craftsmen will not move." Qin Liangyu said.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, General Qin, how did you solve these problems when you were in Shuchuan before?" The emperor felt very irritable, and finally managed to scrape together some money, but he ended up in such a big trouble.

"This is all done by the people of the King of Shu, and the general is just assisting. As far as the last general knew, the king of Shu did not have to worry about the livelihood of the craftsmen at all, because he had many industries of his own. Even if there is no industry, the king of Shu can immediately find someone to replace him and re-operate the workshop, in short, he will not let those people lose their jobs. Qin Liangyu said.

"According to what you say, I can send someone to take over the Wang family's workshop, and continue to operate and make money, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone." The emperor's expression lit up, he was too unfamiliar with industry, and Qin Liangyu had to remind him of such a simple question.

"Maybe." Qin Liangyu didn't understand it very well, but she always felt that it wasn't that simple, so she didn't affirm it.

"Okay, this matter will be handed over to the hero, you will immediately send someone to take over the workshop and continue to operate." The Emperor said.

"The last will obey." Jian Chen replied.

Nameless saw that Jian Chen was driven by the emperor, and he was already a leftist, and sighed in his heart. He didn't approve of Jian Chen's changes, but he was not qualified to accuse him, because Nameless himself was also doing things for the emperor.

He doesn't want fame and fortune, so he naturally has a clear conscience, but others don't think so.

However, he said that the imperial shadow had been delayed in Suzhou for a long time, and his heart gradually became anxious, so he asked to see the emperor again. After solving the matter of the tens of thousands of workers, the emperor was still in a good mood, so he gladly received the emperor's shadow.

"Dongying envoy Huangying, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." Huang Ying still remembered the way Wei Lian Song made a big salute that day, in order to satisfy the emperor, he had basically given up his dignity.

"No courtesy." The Emperor said.

"Your Majesty, as long as you accept the surrender of Dongying, I, Dongying, hundreds of thousands of warriors, can drive you to crusade against the Dugu rebels and clear the coastal widows. Those Japanese robbers have Central Plains people and Dongying people, they come and go without a trace in small boats, and I, Dongying, are the best at dealing with them. The Imperial Shadow said.

"Well, since Dongying is sincere, of course I am willing to accept your surrender." The Emperor said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor." Huangying was overjoyed in his heart, and he didn't mention compensation and cession. He thought to himself, where is the king of Shu as big as the emperor, since the emperor has been surrendered, how can he still take care of those. Huangying was a little uneasy, and showed a sad look: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the King of Shu sent a peerless master to slaughter the people in Dongying, killing tens of thousands of people a day, please say a word." ”

"What, the King of Shu is so mad!" The emperor exclaimed, but he was happy in his heart: Ji Yang still wants to compete with me for the hearts of the people, as long as this matter is true and spread, he will definitely be spurned by the world.

"Never dare to deceive Your Majesty, this person cultivates a body of demonic skills, and the dead are all sucked dry blood. If it weren't for the emperor sending a large number of people to stop it, I'm afraid that the people of Dongying would have been slaughtered, and I beg Your Majesty to make decisions for us. "The Imperial Shadow crawled down.

"It's inhumane, don't worry, I will definitely find out thoroughly." How could the emperor let go of this opportunity to hit the reputation of the King of Shu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huangying was also overjoyed in his heart, and the two of them could be said to have their own benefits.
