After lunch, Zhao Bingyan and Muse led Samiya to Fengming Palace, while Xu Heming and Charles followed Li Yunqing to the Qinzheng Hall and the East Warm Pavilion. Li Yunqing sat behind the dragon case and quietly listened to the return of the two, since Charles has entered the palace, then this year's government affairs return will naturally be advanced, and the major affairs of the family and country are naturally the most important. Li Yunqing paid special attention to the government affairs of Bingao Seventy-two Prefectures, after all, it was the newly acquired territory of the Great Qian, and it could be said that it would be in a stage within a hundred years, or even hundreds of years, and there was no room for slackness.

I only heard Charles respectfully report: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the total tax revenue of the seventy-two states of Bingao this year is 59,373,000 taels. According to His Majesty's will, 620,000 taels were used for the construction of Bingao Seventy-two Prefectures. The remaining silver ministers have been brought in this time and handed over to the imperial treasury. In addition, this year, the population of the 72 states has increased by 150,000, which is more than the combined population increase in the previous ten years. This is all the result of the emperor's benevolent government, and the old minister is really grateful to the emperor. ”

The seventy-two states of Bingao are naturally considered the territory of the Great Qian, but the Bingao clan has its own pride and beliefs. Since 500 years ago, the total number of newborns in the Bingao clan every year has only been 20,000 at most, which is not as good as the number of newborns a year today. The reason for this is that the internal stability of Bingao is not very stable, and there are also young men and women who do not want children, and the number of deaths in Bingao is much higher than the number of new births for various reasons, which once troubled Charles.

If this goes on for a long time, although there is no harm in the short term, in the near future, when the people of Bing Ao are all dying, and there are not a few young and middle-aged people, then the end of the entire empire will come. Fortunately, a Li Yunqing was killed halfway, and it only took a few years to solve the dilemma of Bing Ao Kingdom for five hundred years, and this method is really clever.

After Charles's report, he listened to Yang Bin respectfully: "Your Majesty the Emperor, now the border of Bingao Country is very peaceful, and there are no foreign races infesting again, the emperor can rest assured." Moreover, the combat power of our Zhenyuan Army has now reached a new level, even if any large-scale alien race dares to provoke, it is confident that it will be completely wiped out before the other party launches an attack! ”

After listening to the report of the two, Li Yunqing pondered for a moment, and seeing that the emperor was silent, whether it was Charles or Xu Heming, his heart couldn't help but raise his throat. No one knows what the emperor is thinking at the moment, whether the emperor is satisfied with them? They have a great deal of frustration in their hearts. Li Yunqing nodded with a smile, and said loudly: "The two Aiqing are doing a good job, it's really hard." Bingao 72 Prefectures have a vast area, and the number of prefectures and counties is not as large as that of the Central Plains, but the area of prefectures and counties is larger than that of the Central Plains. And there are still opposition forces that are making trouble every now and then. In such a situation, the two Aiqing can take care of the seventy-two states of Bingao, I am really very pleased. As he spoke, his gaze fell on Charles again, and he smiled: "Half of this year's Silver Empire Treasury is left, and the other half is used for the construction of seventy-two states. Li Yunqing's words made the seventy-two states of Bingao obtain more than 25,000 taels of silver, you must know that these silver are equivalent to the treasury income of the Bingao Empire for three years before, and the use is very extensive.

Charles's heart was terrified, and he was at a loss for what to do. With the silver in his hands, the prince of a place can do too many things, such as cultivating his own army to fight against the imperial court. I only heard Charles say in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules, the minister is familiar with the laws of Daqian, and Emperor Taizu clearly stipulates that the vassal king cannot have so much silver!" ”

Li Yunqing nodded when he heard this, and said softly: "Emperor Taizu did stipulate in the Emperor's Holy Hadith that vassal kings should not have more than 10,000 taels of silver, otherwise it would be regarded as rebellion. But this silver is not your own private collection, but the silver taels that I allocated to Daqianzhou County for construction, how can it be regarded as against the will of Taizu? King Zhenyuan, you and I both hope that the seventy-two states of Bingao can prosper, and many things cannot be tacitly adhered to, and we must dare to break through the confinement, so that the empire can become stronger. Since I put you in the position of King Zhenyuan, I have full trust in you. You don't have any worries, you just need to remember one thing, within five years, that is, before you leave office, I hope that the seventy-two states of Bingao will be as rich as the Central Plains. Speaking of this, Li Yunqing's eyes flashed with a cold light, and then said: "During this period, if someone dares to play right and wrong in front of me and provoke the relationship between you and me, then he will only end up in a dead end, and I hope that King Zhenyuan will not let me down." ”

This old man, who was nearly seventy years old, his eyes were a little moist at the moment, he had never thought that Li Yunqing would trust him so much. He never denied his talent, and as the chief Grand Duke of the Ice Proud Country, he was very confident in his talent. If the Ice Proud Kingdom still exists, if he fully gains the trust of the Ice Proud Emperor, there may not be any turmoil in his heart, because that is how it should be. As the former Grand Duke of the Ice Proud Country, he deserves the full trust of the Emperor of the Ice Proud Country. But when this trust was obtained from Li Yunqing, an emperor of the Central Plains, the old man couldn't help but be very moved.

When he had the idea of obeying the muse and merging Bing Aoguo into Daqian, he had actually given up his career path. In his opinion, Li Yunqing will definitely appoint his ministers extensively in the original land of Bingao, so that Bingao's officialdom will never exist. He didn't complain at all, because it seemed to him to be human. Because for an emperor, the loyalty of his ministers is the most important thing, and the future of the empire has to be carefully considered. At that time, Charles's idea was that as long as the people of Bing Ao Country could live a really good life, it didn't matter if he was an official. But Li Yunqing did not do this, he first made Charles the prince, and then gave him the highest power under the emperor in the seventy-two states of Bingao.

Now that Li Yunqing said such heartfelt words to him, Charles knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Yunqing three times, and then said respectfully: "The minister is trusted by the emperor, and this life is set to be my great country, and I will die for the people of my Central Plains and Bingao clans!" will definitely not disappoint the trust of His Majesty the Emperor, and within five years, the minister will definitely revive the seventy-two states of Bingao! ”

Li Yunqing nodded and said to Xu Heming: "This time, Yang Bin should patrol the Xuanwu Gate in Tai'an City, you can go, and the three of us will have a drink together tomorrow night." Yang Bin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he respectfully retreated after saying a crime.

Although Yang Bin is now the Marquis of Wuzhong, the first vanguard general in the world. His dignity in the army is only second to Li Yunzhong, the emperor, which can be described as extremely noble, but he is still used to staying by Li Yunqing's side, patrolling around Tai'an City every seven days.
