Anguo, Yueguo, Yuguo, mourning all over the wilderness!

Of course, it was the relatives of those officials and eunuchs who cried and shouted, and as for those civil and military officials, they didn't have time to cry, but prepared a heavy gift - a heavier gift than the tribute they prepared for the emperor during the New Year's Festival, like a green-headed fly smelling blood, they came to the door of Lin Qi's temporary station, trembling and waiting for Lin Qi's reception.

The people of the three major provinces didn't know what had happened to their parents, and these things had nothing to do with the people. But for these officials, Lin Qi has been stripped of their official positions, which is related to the glory and wealth of their children and grandchildren!

At this moment, they hated Dinghai King Yingyi very much! If it wasn't for him to give Lin Qi a dismissal, how could they not greet Lin Qi and Princess Qingli? But there was no regret medicine to eat, and in the face of the huge coercion of Lin Qi and Princess Qingli, they could only pray for Lin Qi's forgiveness.

Lin Qi's temporary residence is a house in Xianqian Mountain, the largest merchant in Angola Province. This garden covers an area of nearly 1,000 acres, which was originally a retirement place prepared by Xianqian Mountain for his old mother, and a brand new house that has just been completed. Hearing that Lin Qi was coming, and Lin Qi had not yet decided the location of the future palace, and at the same time there was no place to stay, he immediately dedicated this mansion.

The huge mansion is full of trees, all the trees are thousands of years old, and it took a lot of money for Xianqian Mountain to let the husband carefully select from the deep mountain old forest, and it took countless manpower and material resources to transport it to Anmin City.

Under a huge old banyan tree, Lin Qi sat on a log bench, cross-legged and listened to the reports of several bookkeepers.

These bookkeepers were the people of Princess Qingli, who sent them to inspect the provincial treasury of the three provinces and thoroughly check the balance of the account books over the years. The results of the survey are astonishing, all the warehouses of the three major provinces, whether they are provincial treasury or local prefectures and counties, are clean and clean, and the largest number of warehouses are in the treasury of one county town. Only three thousand taels of silver remained!

Not only was the silver treasury clean and there was no money left, but the armories of the local garrisons in the three major provinces added up to less than 10,000 broken weapons and bows and arrows, and there were more than 100 large and small granaries in the granaries. There should be enough grain for hundreds of millions of people in the three major provinces to use for more than a year, but now all the grain stocks add up to only 200,000 quintals!

What made Lin Qi collapse the most was that the treasury had no money, no armament, and no food, and the three major provinces actually owed two years of money to hundreds of civil and military officials, and there were even pensions for the lonely and widowed elderly in the local area, pensions for disabled soldiers, and hundreds of millions of taels of gold for river workers, lake workers, and sea workers to build dams.

The Blood Qin Empire established itself with martial arts, but gave preferential treatment to scholars and scholars, and each province, state, county, prefecture, county, etc. There are corresponding provincial schools, state schools, county schools, government schools, county schools, etc., and there are millions of scholars and scholars who study in the three provinces, and these scholars and scholars also need to be fully supported by the local government according to the rules of the Blood Qin Empire.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even give the wives and concubines of these scholars a set of clothes and rouge gouache every month, and the provinces with excellent financial conditions even have to pay a certain salary for these scholars to hire maids and maids!

And the three major provinces have already defaulted on the payment of three months of offerings to these scholars, and this money has also fallen on Lin Qi's head.

What made Lin Qi even more speechless was. After he was named the prince of Anguo, Yueguo, and Yuguo, the large and small official offices of these three provinces began to repair the official offices at the same time, and they all spent money on leniency. A small county office, they dare to build it according to the specifications of the state capital. In just half a month's effort, these yamen have not yet been repaired, but the arrears of wages and materials are already an astronomical amount.

"That is!"

After listening to the reports of these bookkeepers, Lin Qi said coldly: "This king took over the fiefdoms of these three provinces, not only did not have a penny in the account, but at least paid more than 1.2 billion taels of gold to wipe their butts?"

Several bookkeepers looked at Lin Qi cautiously, and they smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, that's exactly the case!"

A bold bookkeeper stepped forward. replied in a low voice: "Maybe it's more than that, because we have only checked the account books of the last two years, and there are still some accounts that have accumulated over the years, and they will inevitably be counted on the prince's head when the time comes!"

Lin Qi gently stroked the roots of the old banyan tree beside him, which covered a radius of more than a dozen acres and was like a small forest. He nodded lightly and said, "Yes, yes." It's really good. According to your experience, can the three second-grade provinces be poor like this?"

Lin Qi's question was very simple, but several bookkeepers looked at each other for a while, and after a long time, the bold man smiled bitterly and said: "Where did the prince speak? The Blood Qin Empire really has a place where you are so poor that you cry, but it is only some seventh, eighth, and ninth grade provinces that only have such a thing, and above the sixth-grade provinces, there is a surplus every year;

Another bookkeeper said in a low voice: "Although the three provinces of Anguo, Yueguo, and Yuguo are ranked as second-class, in fact, their wealth is no different from that of first-class provinces, but they are just pressed by some people and do not allow them to be promoted to first-class. According to common sense, there must be at least a balance of hundreds of millions of taels of gold in the treasury of these three provinces......"

Lin Qi spread out his hands: "The balance of hundreds of millions of taels of gold should be the king's money! But now the treasury is empty, and the money is gone, but the account books are all matched one by one! That is to say, someone took the money that originally belonged to the king, and left a mess for the king to pay for himself!"

Several bookkeepers lowered their heads, and the bold bookkeeper at the beginning smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang Shengming, if the account books of the various governments of these three provinces are collectively faked, there are not a few people who make frauds, and they are proficient in money and food methods, and they want to ......investigate them thoroughly."

Lin Qi waved his hand lazily: "Investigate thoroughly, where does this king have time to talk to them? Those people waiting outside the door are all arrested and tortured in prison, and the last copper plate in their house is squeezed out for me." Hu Xinzhu, Hu Xinzhu, didn't I let you arrest someone?"

On the big banyan tree, Hu Xinzhu jumped down with an upside-down onion, he leaned lazily on the air root of a big banyan tree, and sighed lazily: "Really start to do it? This is hundreds of thousands of officials of all sizes in three provinces, are you really ruthless?"

Lin Qi glanced at him: "The money recovered is counted as your share!"

Hu Xinzhu's body stiffened suddenly, and he jumped up happily as soft as a slug, rolled up his sleeves and rushed out: "Knock the bones and suck the marrow, cramp and peel the skin, you four little bastards come over to me! Brothers, pick up all the horses and arrest all the bastards on the list for me!"

On the street outside the manor, many civil and military officials were anxiously waiting for Lin Qi's reception, and suddenly saw countless spies and secret agents wearing half-body armor, wide-brimmed iron helmets, and iron pleated battle skirts on their waists pouring out of both ends of the street. These wolf-like spies didn't reason with people at all, and they beat these officials with short rods made of wrought copper and slashed their heads and faces.

One after another officials were beaten to the ground, crying and screaming, and some were knocked unconscious on the spot.

Before these people could get up, countless guards in silver armor swarmed in, pulling these fallen officials away like dead dogs. Suddenly there was chaos on the streets, and tens of thousands of officials screamed and rushed left and right, trying to escape from here, but at least 100,000 guards surrounded the city, and no matter how they ran, they could not escape the pursuit.

That is, in half an hour, these officials gathered in front of Lin Qi's door were captured and thrown into the prison regardless of whether they were good or bad. Hu Xinzhu's old subordinates, those fierce gods and evil spirits who were proficient in punishment went out one after another, and tortured these officials one after another, and suddenly the miserable screams of these officials echoed in the sky over the entire Anmin City.

Princess Qingli's private soldiers in Qingli Country kept coming to the three provinces, with these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, plus Hu Xinzhu's large-scale secret spies monitoring the Quartet, Lin Qi was not afraid of what the officials of these three provinces could do.

If they dared to react too aggressively, Lin Qi would not be able to ask for it! Eliminate them all by violence, just like Yingzheng's methods, so that his three provinces would become clean and clean, and only then would they truly become his fiefdoms.

After dealing with these affairs, which were not a big deal in Lin Qi's opinion, Lin Qi put his arms around Paradise and slowly came to Princess Qingli's residence.

It is a house located halfway up the mountain, overlooking a small lake. When she entered this garden, Princess Qingli took a fancy to this place at a glance and chose this place as her residence. Now Sha Xinyue and Princess Qingli are together, and the two girls are laughing and laughing, standing on the terrace overlooking the small lake below.

As soon as Lin Qi and Paradise walked to the terrace, Sha Xinyue glanced at Lin Qi, yawned and turned around to leave.

Lin Qi looked at Sha Xinyue inexplicably, and Princess Qingli pursed her lips and smiled and came to Lin Qi, tidying up her slightly messy collar for him: "The husband offended Xinyue so badly, she and the husband have known each other in the Western Continent, and I have never heard of the favor of the goddess of youth." ”

Lin Qi rolled his eyes, just for this matter, Sha Xinyue gave herself a look?

The problem is that Lin Qi himself only knew that there was such a thing in his own family when he was hired.

Just as she was about to say something to Princess Qingli, Princess Qingli's body suddenly stiffened, and her eyes, which were originally as soft as water, became extremely stiff, and from the depths of her eyes, a trace of extreme fear that could not be concealed suddenly surged up.

Lin Qi's face changed suddenly, he had seen the scene where Galina used a spell to control Princess Qingli, and Princess Qingli at that time was also stiff and unable to move! But Galina had been captured alive by Lin Posheng, who is this?

Hugging Princess Qingli with a look of fear on her face, Lin Qi shouted slowly in that cold voice: "Who is here?"

An oily voice sounded: "It's not a master, it's just that it's a relative of the prince, right?" If you like this work, () vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
