Chapter 61: Loulan Jewel III

All Lan Qi'er's thoughts were clearly expressed, and they were also implemented on paper, which was approved by the emperor, and the early dynasty ended with the end of the ministers' recital.

The ministers' recital is over, but the eunuch above the court did not announce his retirement from the dynasty today, and the emperor has no intention of leaving the throne, Lan Qi'er knew what would happen in a while, so she sat motionless in her place.

The ministers didn't know what the situation was or what would happen, so they looked at each other for a while, and from time to time they also looked at the emperor on the dragon chair.

The emperor said at this time: "Everyone, I don't see too much of the country's political affairs in the early dynasty today, is the country really so good now?" Is the people's life really stable and peaceful?

I really want to see the real situation in the city, so let's go with me!

The eunuch said at this time: Get up, the ministers said in unison: The ministers obeyed the order, and the group went out of the court like this, there was no time to change their regular clothes, all dressed to travel, this time it was lively, the people of the whole country could open their eyes on the street, it can be said that it was the first time to see such a whole country dignitary, where the emperor officials went, the people cheered, and the shops on both sides of the street had stopped selling, all paying attention to this grand occasion.

The emperor travels purposefully, paying attention to everything on the street, not looking at it, the gem shops on the street abound, accounting for as much as one-third of all the shops, the tax of the gem shop seems to become a strong support point for the country's tax revenue, but he knows that the money flow of the store is very considerable, is far higher than the tax, so the emperor intends to take a look at every hand jewelry processing shop, stop for a while.

The ministers also stopped from time to time, walked around, and felt something for a while, why are there so many gem shops, there are several within a few tens of meters, and they are all busy, all of them are processing gemstone jewelry, and they seem to be buying and selling well!

Gem shops abound in the city, and the emperor outside the city also wants to observe and see where the gems come from, so he got on the horses prepared by the Praetorian Guards and went straight to the two banks of the Peacock River, where the gems were excavated, and the team soon arrived at the Peacock River, where the beautiful banks of the Peacock River had been dug by the diggers.

The emperor saw such a scene and knew deeply that if it was not managed by laws and regulations, with the passage of time, the excavation of gems and vegetation would not only slowly disappear, but also the drinking water source of the domestic people.

The problem is serious and irreparable.

The diggers were still digging, and as the gems were dug up, vegetation fell, and pits appeared, new pits, and new pits were growing, and they were expanding.

The emperor had already seen the situation of the ore production area, the busyness of the shops in the city, and looked back at all the ministers and said: Aiqing, I don't know what you all saw today, is it the busyness of the shops in the city? Didn't you see the destruction of water and soil, the destruction of vegetation? I don't know what you think!

Let's go back to the palace, the group turned their horses' heads, ran to the city, and entered the court again, the emperor sat firmly, Lan Qi'er also sat down, and the ministers stood neatly in their positions again, and they all bowed their heads for a while, not silent, because they all knew that the emperor was out of the palace this time, not on a whim, it was intentional, and it was prepared, so naturally he was waiting for the answer, the emperor's words!

The emperor said at this time: I took the ministers out of the palace today, I saw that the country is prosperous, the economy is developing, and the people are working for a better life, all of which are good and positive, but I also see the bad side, that is, the country's only water source is being destroyed, the vegetation is declining, the vegetation water source is gone, is the gem still important?

Okay, I'm tired, let's retire, tomorrow I want to hear the views and opinions of each of your ministers.

The ministers all knelt on the ground for a while, shouting to send the emperor.

Everyone left the court, and the ministers were all beneficiaries of the gem shop, so the ministers began to connect again according to their factions, discussing how to deal with the emperor and deal with the emperor in the court tomorrow.

In order to avoid trouble, Lan Qi'er went back to the palace directly, waiting for tomorrow morning.
