It has been half a month since Qin Wei came to Shuzhou City, Qin Wei is standing in the courtyard, holding a long sword and pointing obliquely, surrounded by sword qi on the blade.

Brush!

It was like a white practice across the sky, shining with a dazzling cold light.

Immediately after, his body rose from the ground, soaring into the air, and the sword shot out, bursting with cold.

The agile posture is matched with the brilliant sword, just like the sword fairy in the world.

But in the blink of an eye, he swung out more than a dozen swords, each with a condensed sword glow.

After landing on the ground, the corners of Qin Wei's mouth turned up slightly.

"His Royal Highness's miraculous skills are the best in the world!" Xiao Shunzi approached with a flattering look.

Qin Wei handed him the sword and gave him a roll of the eyes.

It's also a miracle!

With his three-legged cat kung fu, he can also be handsome.

In terms of cultivation, he is now considered an innate realm, although he has no artistic conception, he is definitely a genuine martial artist.

But in terms of combat effectiveness, without the help of Tianwei, he should be able to run very fast.

He has been practicing light skills for most of the year, and as for swordsmanship, it's okay to bully martial artists below the innate level.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, Yuwen Chengdu strode over, with a burly body and an iron armor that looked mighty.

With the improvement of cultivation, the momentum on Yuwen Chengdu's body became thicker and thicker, especially the murderous aura on his body, just standing there was enough to make people feel cold.

"Mr. Li Ru is already waiting in the hall, and Di Renjie is also here." Yuwen Chengdu handed over the report.

Qin Wei calmed down and said with a faint smile: "Then let's go over too." ”

Moments later, the three of them arrived at the main hall.

Li Ru is still wearing a Confucian shirt, looking elegant and chic, but Di Renjie is a little more powerful and a little less approachable.

In a high position, the more powerful it is.

For more than two months, Di Renjie led the two thousand households of the Zhenwu Division, from the east of Shu to the southwest of Shu, although the enemies faced were all the warriors in the rivers and lakes, but the battles experienced were countless.

In addition to Li Ru and Di Renjie, there is also an old man in the hall.

"Meet Your Highness!"

Seeing Qin Wei enter the main hall, the three of them bowed down and bowed.

Qin Wei waved his hand, sat on the main seat, and said with a smile: "Excuse me." ”

"Your Highness!"

Qin Wei looked at the old man in the hall and said with a smile: "I think this senior is the Lu senior of Baiyin Valley." ”

"The old decay is Lu Jiuchen!" Lu Jiuchen bowed again.

"Senpai, please take a seat." Qin Wei smiled kindly: "During this time, thanks to the seniors who pressed the formation for the Zhenwu Division, the Zhenwu Division was able to sweep away the remnants of the Holy Sect. ”

"This king has already asked the court for credit for Baiyin Valley, and when the time comes, I will have to ask my seniors to serve the court more."

Lu Jiuchen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If Your Highness can look up to our Baiyin Valley, then I, Baiyin Valley, am willing to saddle the front and back of the horse for Your Highness." ”

"Haha~~" Qin Wei laughed.

It's comfortable to talk to smart people.

"Di Renjie, the next matter of the Wusi Yamen in Shuzhou Town will be handed over to you, and when the time comes, I will give Baiyin Valley an official position of commander and acquaintance."

"Whoa!" Di Renjie said.

Now that the war in Shuzhou is completely over, the matter of forming the Wusi of Shuzhou Town should also be put on the agenda.

Since Baiyin Valley is willing to saddle Qin Wei's front and back, Qin Wei naturally can't treat Baiyin Valley badly, and an official position of commander and acquaintance must be indispensable.

"Well, you guys go get busy first." Qin Wei said with a smile.

"Retire!"

Di Renjie glanced at Lu Jiuchen and bowed out of the main hall.

After the two of them left, Qin Wei asked Li Ru, "How is the situation?" ”

Li Ru smiled bitterly and said, "The hole is too big to be repaired for the time being." ”

As early as half a month ago, Li Ru came to Shuzhou City, and Li Ru has been busy with silver for half a month.

The Shuzhou Rebellion lasted only a little more than two months, but the money spent was as much as millions of taels.

The grain and grass of tens of thousands of troops, the relief of refugees caused by the war, and the losses suffered by the yamen of various prefectures and counties, just in the eastern and southern Shu regions, Li Ru allocated a large amount of silver taels and grain.

Originally, these things should not be handled by Li Ru or Qin Wei, but the Shuzhou Political Secretary has been paralyzed, if Qin Wei doesn't care, then there will definitely be more turmoil in Shuzhou.

"How much is missing?" Qin Wei asked.

"Two million taels is missing!" Li Rudao.

"Why is there so much short?" Qin Wei frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, the rebels in Shuxi have destroyed several provinces, the people have suffered countless casualties, and they have missed the spring ploughing, if the government does not release grain relief, I am afraid that many people will starve to death this year." Li Rudao.

When the rebels broke out, it was the time of spring ploughing, and under the chaotic war, the people were naturally unable to farm, and now the spring ploughing season has been missed, even if they plough now, the harvest will not be very good.

Qin Wei thought for a while and said, "Does the Tianzhou Town Martial Division still have treasury silver?" ”

"No more!" Li Ru shook his head.

"Tens of millions of taels are gone?" Qin Wei was stunned.

You must know that he has raided several sects in Tianzhou and accumulated tens of millions of taels of silver.

"Your Highness, Lord Zhuge and Lord Tie are busy forming yamen in other states, and those ten million taels of silver have already been distributed." Li Rudao.

Qin Wei slapped his forehead, but he forgot about it.

"In addition, we also paid 300,000 stone of grain from the Tianzhou Political Division." Li Ru said again.

This Qin Wei knew that he had borrowed a lot of grain from Tianzhou before, and Tian Sixin had borrowed it for the sake of his face, and he had borrowed and repaid, and the borrowed money had to be repaid after all, otherwise Tian Sixin would not be able to cover such a big shortage.

"Write a report to the court, and let the household allocate food." Qin Wei said.

This matter was originally a matter of the court, and the money should be spent by the court, and now the famine is naturally repaid by the court.

Li Ru said: "The lower officials have already played, and the household department has allocated 100,000 stone military rations, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Tianzhou in two days." ”

“……”

Qin Wei was speechless for a while.

100,000 stones, not enough to be returned to the Tianzhou Political Division.

"That's all?"

"Well, that's all, the household department has issued an official document, and the affairs of Shuzhou will be handled by the three divisions of Shuzhou themselves." Li Ru said helplessly.

Qin Wei wanted to scold a little.

In addition to the Yamen of the three divisions of Shuzhou, the political secretary and the judicial department are all paralyzed, they can deal with a fart!

Normally, it should be handled by the three divisions of the yamen, but the problem is that the three divisions of the yamen can't handle it now.

As for the style of the household department, Qin Wei also knows that if he can save it, he will save it, and if he can't pay it, he won't pay it.

The financial problems of the Dali Dynasty are actually very serious, don't look at Qin Wei's establishment of the Zhenwu Division, he can get millions of taels of silver at every turn, but in fact, the household department has been short of money and food for many years.

As for the reason, it is still a problem of civil martial arts forces, these sects occupy a large number of industries, but they do not need to pay taxes to the court, and it is strange that the court can have money.

In fact, it is not easy for the household department to allocate 100,000 stones of grain for Shuzhou, after all, there is still a big problem in Yunzhou that has not been solved.

"You need to make some money!" Qin Wei said in a dull voice.

The importance of money goes without saying.

For the people, money and food are livelihood, and they cannot survive without money and food.

For the sect forces, money is a resource, and everything can be lacking, that is, there can be no shortage of money.

And for Zhen Wusi and Qin Wei, money and food are the foundation of everything.

Without money, the soldiers of the Zhenwu Division could not wait to drink the northwest wind.

"Your Highness, Shuzhou is in ruins, and it is difficult to get money now." Li Rudao.

At this time, Qin Wei is a little nostalgic for Kyoto, how good Kyoto is, there are nobles, official families, and countless wealthy compounds, and you only need to copy a few to get a lot of money.

Qin Wei leaned back in the chair and lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

Making money is easy to say, but difficult to say.

The simple way is to copy the house, although Shuzhou is chaotic now, but there are a lot of rich big households, if you copy the house, you can always find a few people who are not long-sighted.

But this way of making a windfall is not a long-term solution after all.

Zhenwusi needs money, and he will also need money to operate in Shuzhou in the future, so he must have a steady stream of financial resources.

In fact, what Qin Wei wanted to do most was to collect taxes, taxes from the civil martial arts forces.

Those sects occupy a large amount of property, and if you can collect taxes from them, you can naturally get a lot of money.

But the problem is that the Zhenwu Division does not have the right to collect taxes, and even if they do, they should be collected by the imperial court.

Moreover, now the yamen of the Zhenwu Division in various states have just been established, and even some states have not yet been established.

At this time, the rash collection of taxes is likely to arouse the resistance of the sect forces.

If you can't collect taxes, you can only make money through normal business.

Among the martial arts forces, the most profitable industry is the pill, and this industry is a little difficult for Qin Wei.

Because he doesn't have any talents under his command who can do alchemy.

The second is the sale of weapons.

Cold weapons are consumables, especially for low-grade martial artists, almost a battle will consume a weapon.

There are many divine weapons in this world, such as the Autumn Frost Sword in Qin Wei's hand, which can be regarded as a divine weapon, and it is forged from a very precious cold iron.

However, most of the weapons in the hands of warriors were mortal soldiers, and they were all forged from steel.

"Take the weapons of the army and sell them." Qin Wei said softly.

The Dusi Yamen can forge weapons by himself, Qin Wei wants to make money, and forging weapons to sell is undoubtedly the easiest way.

"Is this okay?" Li Rudao.

Qin Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "What's not to do, just let those craftsmen from the Dusi Yamen break away from the Yamen, and then form a chamber of commerce and sell it in the name of a private chamber of commerce." ”

Naturally, the Dusi Yamen can't sell weapons, but people have to be flexible!

"But what about the ore?" Li Rudao.

Qin Wei said: "There are many mines in Shuzhou, and pulling all those captives to mine can be regarded as labor reform." ”

"When I make money, I will use work for relief, and repair the damaged buildings, roads, and other things in the city, and also keep the official roads in order."

"And didn't we capture a lot of weapons this time? Those that can be used can be directly taken out and sold, and those that cannot be used are recycled. ”

"If you can't sell it in Shuzhou, you can sell it in Tianzhou, or wholesale it directly to the Luoxia Sect and the Lishan Sword Sect, they have a lot of refining industries."

Since you want to make money seriously, then be bold.

Qin Weicai didn't care about those rules and regulations, now that he was in Shuzhou, although he didn't dare to call himself the king of Shuzhou, no one in the entire Shuzhou dared to go against his will.

The problem of the court will be talked about later, and what he wants to do now is to restore the livelihood of Shuzhou first, and then use the land of Shuzhou to build his own foundation and increase his own heritage.

"You go and prepare for the weapons industry first, and then this king will think of other ways."

"Whoa!" Li Ru responded.

Qin Wei thought for a while and said: "The political secretary is in charge of it, before the court arranges the political envoy, you are the political envoy of Shuzhou." ”

When Li Ru heard this, he chuckled, "I'm afraid that in the future, there will be many officials in the court who will use this to impeach His Royal Highness and lower officials." ”

"What the hell are they doing?"

Qin Wei said disdainfully: "No matter how long their hands are, they can't reach out to Shuzhou." ”

"Your Highness is not afraid that Your Majesty will be dissatisfied?" Li Ru asked.

Qin Wei raised his eyebrows, "The sky is high, the emperor is far away!" ”

"It seems that His Highness is ready." Li Ru said with a smile.

Qin Wei shook his head slightly, and said, "Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king." ”

"Since you can't go back to Kyoto, then show your strength in Shuzhou."

"What we have to do now is to build Shuzhou into the territory of the king, and then wait for the opportunity to soar."

"Where's the timing?" Li Ru's eyes flashed.

Qin Wei said: "In this king's imperial grandfather. ”

Li Ru laughed, "It seems that His Highness has made up his mind, so the lower officials will rest assured." ”

Qin Wei said with a flat expression: "It's just an inflated ambition!" ”

Li Ru smiled but said nothing.

Ambition swells with growing strength.

Ambition without strength is wishful thinking, and ambition with strength is ambition.

From Kyoto all the way to Shuzhou, Qin Wei became more and more clear about his ambitions, and now he no longer needs to hide it.

At this time, for Qin Wei, this Shuzhou is the best place for development.

The three southwestern states have Mao Jiang in front of them to attract firepower, and he only needs to stay in Shuzhou safely.

Perhaps Lihuang didn't expect that his restrictions on Qin Wei were actually helping Qin Wei.

In the final analysis, Emperor Lihuang still looked down on Qin Wei, he just felt that Qin Wei was a little capable, but he didn't want Qin Wei to be involved in the court, but he never expected that Qin Wei had become ambitious now.
