It's been a long time.

Yang Qi raised the butcher's knife again and slashed 1,687 people in one go.

The whole country was shocked.

1,687 fresh lives remind everyone in the Yan Kingdom.

Yang Qi is still the same Yang Qi, he kills people and never relents.

However, it is worth mentioning that this time Yang Qi raised his butcher knife and slaughtered on a large scale, which did not cause much turmoil in Yan Kingdom.

There are two reasons for this.

One is that these people deserve to die.

The second is that Yang Qi has worked hard to evaluate officials over the years and appointed non-Confucian students as officials, which has achieved results.

Therefore, no one is crying out for the death of these people.

These people are like dust, blown away by the wind, and silenced away.

Only ten days later.

When the blood at the entrance of the vegetable market in Yanjing City was washed away, people had forgotten the existence of these people.

The sun still rises in the east.

The people of the city still work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

The imperial examinations also continued.

In the eyes of civil officials, this time the imperial examination went wrong, and Guo Shilang was blamed for being too greedy, and Yang Qi should kill him.

They wrote to Yang Qi and asked for the reopening of the imperial examination.

Yang Qi waved his hand generously and approved.

So, before Guo Shilang's bones decomposed, the civil officials got together again and happily prepared for the second imperial examination.

They are like diligent rabbits, working diligently.

As everyone knows, Yang Qi, a ferocious wolf, has already set his sights on them, ready to swallow them in one bite when the time is ripe.

Just when the civil servants were busy gathering students.

Yang Qi was also busy checking the harvest.

In this fraud case, hundreds of officials and nearly 1,000 officials were confiscated, and it was a very considerable fortune to gather together.

Among these riches, there are not only the gains of corruption by officials, but also the income from their business at sea.

Now he is included in his own pocket by Yang Qiqi in one breath.

"How much money was confiscated?"

Yang Qi crossed his legs, sat on the kang without any image, and asked Kou Zhun.

Kou Zhun held a scroll of accounts in his hand, and said with a bitter face: "If you go back to Your Majesty, a total of nearly 34.53 million silver coins worth of goods have been confiscated. ”

The corners of Yang Qi's mouth turned up, and the joy on his face was difficult to hide.

"Not bad......

When he saw Kou Zhun's bitter gourd face, he asked suspiciously: "With so much money in the warehouse, you should be happy, why do you have a bitter gourd face." My royal sister is bullying you again. ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhun widened his eyes and retorted: "The minister and the princess have a deep relationship with each other, Qin Se and Ming, Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense." ”

After a pause, Kou Zhun said again: "The reason why the minister is unhappy is because the treasury is already full, and he can't put these goods down." ”

Yang Qi was stunned for a moment and was happy, "In other dynasties, the treasury has always been empty, but the Yan Kingdom, which I am sitting on, can be full of gold and silver." It's all my work. ”

Kou Zhun rolled his eyes, but he didn't refute Yang Qi's words.

Yang Qi said to himself: "Money and property are piled up in the treasury, and they are dead things after all. It should be spent as soon as possible and turned into national power. Otherwise, as the tide goes deeper and deeper, the money will be worthless. ”

Yang Qi thought for a moment and asked Kou Zhundao: "The medical hall and the academy, how far have they been paved now?" ”

Kou Zhun closed the account book in his hand and said in a deep voice: "The medical halls and schools in China have now been spread to the villages. Further down the bunk, there are some gains that outweigh the losses. ”

Yang Qi nodded, agreeing with Kou Zhun's statement.

The medical hall and school hall are paved in every village, and there is really no need to go down.

In these two aspects, the Yan Kingdom has reached the scale of later generations.

Although there is still a gap of 10 million times with the quality of the medical halls and schools in later generations, Yan Guo can pave these two items to this point, which is already unprecedented, which is very remarkable.

In addition to grasping the quality, Yang Qi has no need to continue to expand.

"Then invest money in armaments and other research. Muskets and artillery have been optimized three times. The whole army is not yet fully equipped, and this time the money will be used on this to help the whole army change its uniform.

Part of the remaining money was allocated to Yanmen Pass.

I heard that in order to improve the craftsmanship of muskets and artillery, Tang Gong's son, Tom Chen, had developed a new device that required a lot of money to experiment.

I've also heard that some people have developed new farming tools and new tools, which require a lot of money to experiment.

I will satisfy them once and for all, hoping that they will be able to create something that is truly beneficial to the country and the people.

The remaining part will be allocated to the four university halls.

Yenching University Hall is cultivating seeds that have been shipped back from overseas, and it needs money.

Jinling University Hall is researching new sea vessels, and it needs more money.

Seoul University Hall is researching the way to blow up the mountain, and it also needs money.

In addition, I took another part of my inner treasury and allocated it to Yenching Medical College, I heard that there was new progress in the new medical techniques they had recently researched, and they needed to be encouraged. ”

Saving money turns out to be tough, but spending it is fast.

Yang Qi said a few words casually, and the massive amount of deposits stored in the treasury for five years was quietly spent.

However, Yang Qi didn't feel any heartache.

It is indispensable to spend money for the development of Yan Kingdom.

After Kou Zhun recorded what Yang Qi said in detail, he went down and summoned other officials and began to focus on this matter.

Yang Qi waited in the palace for the next imperial examination, waiting for the next wave of harvest.

However, he didn't wait for the next imperial examination to begin, but he had an unexpected gain.

On a rainy afternoon.

Lu Meng, who was promoted to Jeju Prefecture to serve as a feudal official, was holding an oil-paper umbrella and slowly entered the palace.

He didn't look like a lilac-like girl to be intoxicating, but embarrassed like a chicken in soup.

When he entered the imperial study, the rain on his clothes pulled a long trail on the ground.

"Poof~"

With a strange sneeze, Lu Meng appeared in front of Yang Qi in a swaying manner.

Yang Qi glanced at him and patted the fire kang under his buttocks, "Come and sit, go to the cold." ”

After Lu Meng bowed and bowed, he sat down along the edge of the kang.

Yang Qi asked curiously, "What is it worth your journey from Jeju Mansion to meet me in the rain?" ”

Lu Mengzheng saluted again, and said in a deep voice: "The matter is very important, and the minister may not pay attention to it, so I will come back in person and report it to Your Majesty." ”

"Tell me!"

"Kong Lianjie caught it."

"Huh?!"

Yang Qi subconsciously scratched his ears and said, "You say it again." ”

Lu Mengzheng's voice became a little heavier, and said, "Kong Lianjie has already caught it." ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Great, the French Open is restored, and I have to settle a general account with him. ”

Seeing that Yang Qi was happy and ready to go to Kong Lianjie to settle accounts.

Lu Mengzheng hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassedly: "But the person is not in the hands of the minister." ”

Yang Qi was stunned, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Mengzheng said with a bitter face: "The news was sent by the Kong clan in Qufu. ”

When Yang Qi heard this, he was not interested, he pouted and said, "Did they put forward any conditions when they passed on the news to me through you?" ”

Lu Mengzheng smiled bitterly and nodded.

Yang Qi said with his old god: "Then you go back and tell them that I don't want this person." As long as they can withstand the pressure of the world. ”

Yang Qi sealed all the exit arteries of Yan Kingdom, such as today's merchants are crazy.

They dug three feet into the ground to find Kong Lianjie.

Let them know that Kong Lianjie is hiding in Kong's family, and it is estimated that they will step Kong's family into the ground.

The descendants of the saints or something, they don't care.

In their eyes, profit comes first.

When Lu Mengzheng heard Yang Qi's words, the smile on his face became even more bitter, he was not a fool, how could he not understand the deep meaning of this.

"Your Majesty, Kong's request is not excessive, it is better for you to listen to it first and then make a decision."

Yang Qihu looked at Lu Mengzheng suspiciously, and said with an unkind expression: "What benefits has the Kong family given you, it is worth your efforts to speak for them so hard." ”

Lu Mengzheng said: "The minister didn't take a little benefit from the Kong family, if you have to say the benefit, that is, when the minister was governing Jeju, the new head of the Kong family came forward many times to help the minister govern, and also helped the minister solve many contradictions. ”

"So good? How can you be sure that you are not Xiang Zhuang Dancing Sword? ”

"If they only ask their ministers to bring them a word, then they don't have to do that."

Yang Qi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Let's talk about it, what is the request of the Kong family." ”

"Kong begged His Majesty to spare them. The new head of the Kong family said that he was willing to dismiss the Kong family members and let them join the imperial court. The Kong family does not seek canonization from the imperial court, and the children of the Kong family will be like ordinary people, cultivating and studying in the heirloom and entering the hall to study. ”

Lu Meng was talking slowly.

Yang Qi was stunned and said in amazement: "This is begging me for mercy?" ”

Lu Mengzheng nodded.

Yang Qihu doubted: "Now that the imperial examination is winning, maybe the Kong clan has hope to return to the respected position, why are they retreating bravely at this time." It's not in their interest. ”

Lu Mengzheng hesitated for a moment, hesitated again and again, but still told the truth, "I heard that the Kong clan has opened up a foundation on the sea and occupied seven or eight islands. ”

Yang Qi suddenly realized and said with a smile: "It turned out that he set his sights on overseas, no wonder he succumbed to me so easily." They are afraid that the foundation they have established overseas will be attacked by me. So bow down to me in advance. ”

"That's it, I don't want to take care of overseas affairs for the time being. Since they chose to avoid my edge, they didn't mix with that group of idiots to make trouble, which can be regarded as fun.

For the sake of the saints, I let them go. ”

"Go back and tell them that I have granted their plea. They don't embarrass me, and I don't want to embarrass them. It's just that Kong Lianjie must be sent to me.

I haven't seen Jet Kong for a day, and what I promised them won't take effect for a day. ”

Lu Meng hurriedly got up and said, "The minister understands, the minister will go back and tell them the news." ”

Yang Qi glanced at him, and said indifferently: "You are my courtier, and you are not the courtier of the Kong family, there is no reason to brave the heavy rain to work for them." ”

Lu Mengzheng sighed and said, "The minister is also trying to settle down Jeju Mansion as soon as possible. ”

"I know you're loyal, I'm just joking with you. However, you are not too young, and you are running around in the rain, and once you are infected with the wind and cold, the government affairs of Jeju will be delayed.

Although there are many people who can use it in my hands, there are not many who are old and serious.

and rest in the capital for two days.

I sent the imperial guards to Qufu to deliver the news for you. ”

Yang Qi pulled Lu Mengzheng and continued to sit down.

Lu Mengzheng was inexplicably grateful.

The imperial guards are strong, and they have new robes to protect them, plus double leather armor, and they are not afraid of the wind and cold at all.

Yang Qiyi gave an order.

Immediately, a team of imperial guards rode out of Yanjing City and went straight to Qufu, the capital of Jeju.

Ten days later.

The sky is clear.

A prisoner car quietly entered Yanjing City under the escort of heavy soldiers.

They went all the way to the prison of the Supervision Department.

Yang Qi was already waiting for them in the prison of the Supervision Division.

The prisoners in the prison cart were escorted to the prison.

Yang Qi got up slowly, looked at the figure with his cloak scattered, and said faintly: "Kong Lianjie!" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

"Puff~"

When Kong Lianjie saw Yang Qi, he knelt on the ground, hugged Yang Qi's legs, wailing and begging for mercy, without the image of a saint's descendant.

"The grass people know that they are wrong, and beg Your Majesty to bypass me."

“……”

Yang Qi looked at Kong Lianjie coldly, his heart was like iron.

"It's not a good time, isn't it?"

Yang Qi smiled cruelly and spoke slowly.

Kong Lianjie trembled all over, almost not crying.

This period of time is not only bad, it is like running around in hell.

On the same day, after he sold the official document signed by Shen Lun to Guo Shilang and others, he left Yanjing City and ran all the way to the beach.

He knew that if he stayed in the Great Yan Kingdom, he would be caught by Yang Qi sooner or later, so he was ready to take a large sum of gold and silver and go to sea to be an uncle.

However.

What he didn't expect was that before he could exchange the golden ticket in his hand for gold and silver and a big ship, Yang Qiyi issued an order and sealed the entire coast.

He panicked and scurried like a headless fly.

Everywhere you go, you will be hit mercilessly.

Everywhere he went, he was chased and shouted and killed like a rat crossing the street.

Every time his identity was discovered, he was chased by thousands of people.

Even if he disguises himself as a beggar, some people will find out who he is.

The physical devastation, the mental torment, tormented him all the time.

He scattered all the gold and silver he got from Guo Shilang and others before he got Qufu back.

However.

When he returned to Qufu, he found that someone had taken his place as the head of the family.

And what should have been the safest place in his heart has become a cage.

In the end, he was sent to Yang Qi.

Yang Qi took a leather whip from Peng Pai's hand and shook it in front of Jet Kong, "Did you see it?" I used this leather whip, whip after whip, to beat Shen Hao to death.

You shouldn't, you shouldn't, you shouldn't calculate the life of your teacher, and you shouldn't borrow Shen Hao's hand to kill your father.

Have you ever thought about how desperate my mentor would be at the moment of death, looking at the son who killed his father?

Although I have long lost the friendship between teacher and student with him, he is the mentor of me, the founding emperor of Dayan, Yang Yanhe.

I still don't dare to snub him for half a point, who gave you the dog guts to let you treat him like this? ”
