In the eighth year of civil and military affairs, before the first month of the new year had passed, all kinds of bad news came from all over the empire.

There are more and more people in various places, and rebellions are becoming more and more frequent.

There were rebellions when his father was there, but at most two or three places a year.

Basically, as long as the county government sends troops, a group of rioters can be sent to the soap factory in a few days.

The old emperor reviewed the official documents on the table, and he was not as angry as he used to be.

"Order the Muzhou Mu to quickly exterminate the rebels, and the Muzhou Government will send three thousand foot soldiers to assist, and take down the thieves completely before they become stronger!"

"Use artillery, fight steadily, don't spare firepower, it is necessary to crush the morale of the bandits!"

Before, it was always easy to get angry, but now the empire is not as good as before, and all kinds of problems that have appeared like snowflakes everywhere have made the old emperor a few years older and more taciturn.

After asking people to send their instructions out, the old emperor picked up another book on the case.

This book is about to be turned over, and in the past few months, the old emperor will repeatedly look at the records in this book whenever he has nothing to do.

It is not his father's golden mouth, the old emperor doesn't look at that anymore, he only looks at Wang Lanling's various deeds now.

This book is the biography of Wang Lanling!

Relying on secret agents and various records and rumors, the old emperor restored Wang Lanling's life for several years, and went through everything Wang Lanling had done in order.

What forced him to do such a thing was the stormy status quo of the empire.

This old man has a deep affection for this inheritance handed down from his ancestors.

He would rather commit suicide and pass on the throne to the rest of the Jiang family than be the king of the dead country!

I don't know when he finally realized that the empire was really unstable, and even that it might be overthrown, this old man was driven by fear to seriously study the spirit of Wang Lanling.

Wang Lanling is very accomplished in both governing the people and controlling chaos and being an official, and the old emperor is learning how to suppress rebellions in various places based on Wang Lanling's deeds of quickly suppressing bandits.

I have to say, it works very well......

After ordering heavy firearms to suppress them, the rebellions were quickly suppressed.

At the same time, the number of casualties decreased, and the subsequent military expenditure was also reduced, and the most needed was the initial cost of firearms.

Although now there are always rebellions in various places? But the old emperor knew that it was because of the New Year.

And the early Wang Lanling water control and management of Heishui County? It also gave the old emperor a lot of inspiration.

How did Wang Lanling make the brave and ruthless citizens of Heishui County a good citizen?

The old emperor regretted that he had ordered the slaughter of the city in the first place, but only for a while? Because he had already asked the spies to suppress a few of the relevant people who had fled to the countryside.

What about Wang Lanling's maintenance of law and order? The old emperor wanted to know more about the affairs of governing the people's livelihood and wealth.

And how many documents did Wang Lanling have back then? When the old emperor couldn't sleep all night, he would also watch the copy repeatedly to understand the proposal of Wang Lanling, who was a good citizen.

When the old emperor was reading and studying? A eunuch walked over gently.

"Holy? The paperwork from Shanhai County has arrived, and everything is normal. ”

His voice was very soft, not at all sharp, and it was clearly deliberately controlled.

The old emperor put down "The Biography of Wang Lanling"? "This is the last one of last year," he said. ”

He stretched out his hand? The eunuch respectfully handed over the report, bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

After the old emperor took it, he began to flip through it, his expression was very serious.

He looked at it very slowly and seriously, more seriously than he looked at other state secret events or martial arts cheats.

For the old emperor? Now Wang Lanling's report is very meaningful.

His enemy is not only Wang Lanling? And the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and any thief waiting for him to die!

Now the old emperor has no intention of letting people kill Wang Lanling.

Not unwilling? It's Wang Lanling's safety awareness that is too strong!!

Since you can't kill it, there's no need to expose the spies who don't have much? Now the old emperor wants to know more about some of Wang Lanling's internal affairs arrangements.

Long report? The old emperor watched for nearly two hours.

From Wang Lanling's meeting to discuss the year-end bonus and last year's fiscal revenue disposition? Then Wang Lanling sent people to supervise the payment of salaries and benefits to the families of soldiers and martyrs, as well as participating in the performance of unmarried men and women to marry tea sessions, and then took their sons and daughters to the orphanage to eat and distribute prizes.

After the old emperor saw that Wang Lanling had the money to pay his salary in full this year, and there were money rewards, and he had enough rich funds, he focused on the financial report.

"Cotton Mill...... Is this profitable? ”

The old emperor showed a thoughtful look, and soon he said: "Call the prime ministers of the left and right, the heads and deputy ministers of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry!" Meeting! ”

The eunuch quickly said, "Yes! ”

Soon the eunuch walked out of the imperial study at half past two in the morning, and in the cold winter night, he sent someone to spread the word and call people.

Everyone was waiting for the old emperor to die, but although he had been much haggard recently, he was still old and strong.

Not only is he not close to women, but the old emperor also seriously rejected the health care methods provided by Taoism and began to try Wang Lanling's scientific health care methods.

He is not yet eighty years old this year, and if he lives for another ten years, he will be able to survive another generation......

Although he stayed up late, the old emperor accepted the eight-hour sleep time that Wang Lanling maintained when he was in Tongzhou Academy, and he could make up for it during the day.

Now the old emperor is developing good habits of work and rest, and today he only stayed up late because of some important things to deal with.

After a little rest and a little broth, the old emperor took a midnight nap.

An hour later, several ministers were waiting outside in a trembling state waiting to be summoned.

Being an official in Dragon City, without a good body, it's really not good.

The meeting went on until dawn, and the old emperor went to bed after having a rough plan, while the rest of the people bowed down and went to work early.

In the afternoon of the same day, the old emperor announced an event at the afternoon assembly.

"Jiang Kedi, quickly order someone to set up a royal cotton mill, gather the most elite craftsmen in various states, and make sure to make a better textile machine than that in Lanling County!"

"The Royal Cotton Mill is run by officials and businessmen, and the income tax revenue is directly charged into the royal treasury, and the official position is the second grade, and the suitable person is selected from the people who have been officials and businessmen five years ago, and I personally appoint them!"

"Cotton households near Longcheng are not allowed to sell cotton without permission, and the cotton produced in the land can be used as a tax to offset forced labor, according to one person per mu!"

"Order Shanzhou, Yunzhou, Muzhou, Shanzhou and other places to follow up quickly! Quickly build a cotton spinning factory, and no longer buy cotton cloth and cotton clothes from Lanling County! ”

His father once said: Take other people's path, so that others have no way to go.
