Long live the best

"Also, if I can guarantee the safety of the merchants' goods, do you think they will be unwilling?"

"Those bandits who roam the Grand Canal always extort sky-high prices to let them go, but I just ask them to pay for the maintenance of the sailors and protect themselves! Is there something wrong?"

"When the time comes, Wei Aiqing, go and see who the merchants and common people are willing to hand over their money to."

The advanced thinking made the ancients like Wei Zheng confused.

It is a good thing for the imperial court to earn money, maintain operations, protect the people and fight against robbers, but they feel that the tax on the river is collected by all ships, which is a bit of robbery.

Gu Chuntang stood up.

As Prime Minister Zuo, the head of all officials, his words carry great weight.

"Your Majesty, I think it is possible!" His eyes lit up: "As long as a system is established and the people can rest assured, this is a matter of mutual benefit."

"Furthermore, when the Grand Canal is peaceful, the trade in various places will be promoted faster. Over time, the Great Xia will surely prosper!"

Qin Yun smiled, this guy is smart, unlike others, pedantic.

Minister of the Ministry of War Zhao Hengdao: "Since this is the case, then rectifying the navy is the top priority. Let the lazy navy regain the trust of the people and pay taxes willingly to ensure safety."

"That's right!"

Qin Yun looked at the corner of Tai Chi Hall and said, "Zhou Yi, come out, are you confident?"

Zhou Yi was only a minor official in the Yunzhou Navy, and was secretly relegated to the lower ranks because of a river pirate incident, but he was very capable and familiar with river transportation and water warfare.

He looked at Qin Yun, feeling grateful.

What virtue and ability do I have to make Your Majesty fall in love with me?

"Your Majesty, I have confidence in my humble position, improve the river transportation, fight against robbers, and clear the evil spirits of the Grand Canal!!" Zhou Yi knelt and kowtowed.

Qin Yun nodded secretly. This person was recommended to him by Murong Shunhua. Both of them were from Yunzhou. She didn't say the specific reason, but Qin Yun definitely believed her unconditionally.

"Su Zizai, the pardon for you this time is a lenient, and I will help Zhou Yi well. If you dare to obey the law, you will not have the next chance to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. Go directly to feed the fish!"

Su Zizai was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he kowtowed repeatedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will obey your orders!"

Seeing this, Wei Zheng and the others had no choice but to remain silent.

Even the always impartial and unflattering Prime Minister Gu Chuntang agreed, and they began to hold a little hope that if they could have the best of both worlds, it was not impossible.

Qin Yun looked at Zhao Heng and other ministers: "Your military department is going all out to recruit troops. I want to see the initial results next month."

"money is not a problem!"

With the money, Zhao Heng and other ministers were also full of confidence, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will obey."

After going down.

Qin Yun called his confidant ministers to the imperial study and arranged other matters.

Especially the site selection and appointment of the Shenji Battalion.

This army is what Qin Yun wants to use as his trump card. If you retreat, you can protect the imperial capital;

As soon as he was busy, he was busy until night.

From being a cowardly emperor at the beginning, until now, his heart has become more determined, and he wants to be the most dickish emperor.

Any attempt to overthrow him, any attempt to harm Daxia, any act of favoritism and fraud, he must get rid of them one by one!

Finally, turn Daxia into the greatest empire of the Han people!

"Your Majesty, Liu Cui from the Hero Pavilion, Wan Bin has sent a letter for the first time in Zhongnanshan." Feng Lao approached, handed over the envelope, and his face was more serious.

Qin Yun's eyes lit up!

Liu Cui and Liu Cui were Jianghu people he recruited in the Hero Pavilion, and they went to Zhongnan Mountain as eyeliners early on.

Now, Chaotian Temple is becoming more and more suspicious, and the news from there is very important!

Qin Yun tore open the envelope.

The rice paper reads: "Your Majesty, Zhongnan Mountain is prosperous, with countless believers, and there are many people from outside the region and inside the customs."

"After several investigations, the route and the identity of the monk have been found out."

"But no other news was found."

After reading it, he couldn't help but be disappointed that nothing was found.

But Qin Yun didn't believe that this Chaotian Temple was really a holy place for Buddhism. This was his intuition, and he even suspected that there was something else behind the Chaotian Temple.

"Send a letter back and ask the two of them to stay behind and pay close attention to the people who enter and leave Chaotian Temple. Maybe, after waiting for a few days, I will go to Chaotian Temple in person." Qin Yun said lightly.

Feng Lao bent over: "Yes."

"This old slave has the guts to ask, Your Majesty, do you need Jin Yiwei to check it out? After all, Liu Cui's abilities are limited."

Qin Yun shook his head: "No, the focus now is not on Chaotian Temple, but on Cao Hui and Gongsun Zan."

"Gongsun Zan reminded the people in Ni'erhui not to go to Zhangyu Wharf. I guess that poisonous woman Wang Min can't make trouble in Xiliang for the time being, so she colluded with the forces in the pass to cause trouble for me."

"All of these names deserve to die!"

Elder Feng bent over: "It's Your Majesty, this old slave is going to deliver the message."

As soon as he left, Qi Yong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment rushed to see him outside the door of the imperial study.

Qin Yun was about to go to the harem and smelled the fragrance of Concubine Xiao Shu, but he didn't expect him to come at this time.

Presumably, something happened.

boom!

Qi Yong fell to his knees with a thud, his face was ugly: "Your Majesty, something happened, and the people in Nierhui are taking revenge!!"

Qin Yun's complexion changed, and he stood up abruptly: "What's going on?"

Qi Yong wiped off his sweat, and said: "Today at night, in just one stick of incense, many murders occurred in the West Lake of the imperial capital."

"It's the flower-picking drum that Ni'erhui is used to."

"As soon as the drums sounded, the murderer began to pick off people's heads, and then threw them into the lake. It was extremely cruel!"

"A total of more than 20 people died, most of them were celebrities in the imperial capital, and there are many noble children..."
