Qin Yun frowned: "Farting is definitely different. I charge it legally and will not do anything randomly! Taxes are drawn based on the value of cargo ships, which has nothing to do with the pain of merchants."
"The Grand Canal stretches over twenty states and crosses several channels. Once such a long river transportation is operated, it will be a huge benefit for the court!"
"And, if I can ensure the safety of merchants' goods, do you think they would not want to?"
"Those robbers who wandered around the Grand Canal often extorted sky-high prices before letting go, and I just asked them to pay for money to support the navy and protect themselves! Is there anything wrong?"
"When the time comes, Wei Aiqing, go and see who the merchants and the people are willing to hand over the money."
The advanced thoughts made the ancients such as Wei Zheng confused.
The court makes money, maintains its operation, and can protect the people and fight robbers. This is a good thing, but they think that collecting taxes on the river and collecting ships is a bit of a robbery.
Gu Chuntang stood up.
As the head of all officials, his words are of great importance.
"Your Majesty, I think it's OK!" His eyes shone: "As long as the system is established and the people are relieved, it is a mutually beneficial thing."
"And when the Grand Canal is peaceful, trade will be promoted faster in various places. Over time, the Great Xia will surely prosper!"
Qin Yun smiled. This guy was smart, not like others, pedantic.
Zhao Heng, Minister of War, said: "Since that is the case, it is the top priority to rectify the navy. The lazy navy must 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, do you have confidence?"
Zhou Yi was just a small official of the Yunzhou Navy. He was demoted to the grassroots because of a river pirate secretly. However, he was very capable, familiar with river transportation and war with water.
He looked at Qin Yun and felt a little grateful.
What kind of virtue can you be able to let Your Majesty take a fancy to you?
"Your Majesty, you have confidence in your duties, do a good job in river transportation, crack down on robbers, and eliminate the unhealthy trends and evil spirits in the Grand Canal!!" Zhou Yi knelt down 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 must have believed her unconditionally.
"Su Zizai, this time I am pardoning you, I will help Zhou Yi well. If you dare to disobey him, you will not have the chance to make meritorious service next time. Go and feed the fish!"
Su Zizai was so scared that his legs became weak and he kowtowed repeatedly: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely obey the order!"
Seeing this, Wei Zheng and others had to remain silent.
Even the prime minister Gu Chuntang, who has always been fair and unflattering, agreed, and they began to hold a little expectation. It would be impossible to have the best of both worlds.
Qin Yun looked at Zhao Heng and other ministers: "Your Ministry of War will recruit soldiers with all your might. I will see initial results next month."
"Money is not a problem!"
With money, Zhao Heng and other ministers were also full of confidence and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we obey our orders."
After the courtship.
Qin Yun called his confidant minister to the Imperial Study Room again and arranged other matters.
Especially the location selection and appointment issues of Shenji Camp.
This army was used by Qin Yun as his trump card. Retreat can protect the imperial capital, and advance can be guided by the army. No one dares not to obey!
Once he was busy, he was busy until night.
From the beginning of being a cowardly emperor, to now, his heart has become stronger and he wants to be the most horrible emperor.
He will eliminate any attempt to overthrow himself, any attempt to harm Daxia, or any acts of favoritism and fraud!
Finally, turn Daxia into the greatest empire of the Han people!
"Your Majesty, Liu Cui from Heroes Pavilion, Wan Bin has returned from sending a message for the first time in Zhongnan Mountain." Mr. Feng approached and handed the envelope with a more serious expression.
Qin Yun's eyes lit up!
Liu Cui and the others were the people from the martial arts world he recruited in the Heroes Pavilion. They went to Zhongnan Mountain as their spies.
Now, Chaotian Temple is becoming more and more suspicious, and the news sent there is important!
Qin Yun tore open the envelope.
The rice paper reads: "Your Majesty, Zhongnan Mountain is prosperous, countless believers, and many people come from outside the territory and inside the pass."
"A few investigations have been made to find out the route and the identity of the monk."
"But no other news was found."
After reading it, he couldn't help but feel disappointed and found nothing.
But Qin Yun didn't believe that Chaotian Temple was really a Buddhist holy land. This was his intuition, and even suspected that Chaotian Temple had another set behind it.
"I sent the message back and asked them to stay and keep an eye on those who entered and left Chaotian Temple. Perhaps, I will go to Chaotian Temple in person after a few days." Qin Yun said lightly.
Mr. Feng bent down: "Yes."
"I dare to ask, Your Majesty, do you need the Jinyiwei to check it out? After all, Liu Cui and his two 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 reminds those who have been to Nierjiao not to go to Zhangyu Wharf. I guess that Wang Min's poisonous woman has no way to cause trouble in Xiliang for the time being, so she colludes with the forces in the pass to cause trouble for me."
"These names are all damn!"
Mr. Feng bent down: "It's Your Majesty, I'll go and send a message now."
As soon as he left, Qi Yong, the Minister of Justice, rushed outside the door of the Imperial Study room to ask for a meeting.
Qin Yun was about to go to the harem to smell Xiao Shufei's body fragrance, but he didn't expect that he would come during this period of time.
I guess something happened.
Bang!
Qi Yong knelt down with a thud, his face looking ugly: "Your Majesty, something happened, people from Nierhui are taking revenge!!"
Qin Yun's face changed and he stood up: "What's going on?"
Qi Yong wiped his sweat and said, "It was night today, in just one stick of incense, many murders occurred in the West Lake of the imperial capital."
"It's a flower picking drum that Nier knows how to use."
"As soon as the drum sounded, the murderer began to pick people's heads, and after picking them, they threw them into the lake, extremely cruel!"
"A total of more than 20 people died, most of whom were celebrities from the imperial capital, and there were many noble children..."
Qin Yun's face turned angry, and he punched the table, gritting his teeth and said, "Bastard, it's Cao Hui!"
"He took his brother at noon and he came to take revenge!"
"Hmph, he is nothing, and he dares to wrestle with me. If he wants to be tough, I will accompany him to the end!"
"Transfer to my hand to remove all the Taibaos who were from Hurun, escorted to the gate of the imperial capital, and executed overnight. The body was placed on the top of the city for people to curse!"
Qi Yong nodded violently, fearing that he would be punished, and said, "It's Your Majesty, I'll do it now."
"etc!"
Qin Yun's eyes were sharp: "Where is the Jinyiwei!"
Wuming flashed out of the hall, except for Mr. Feng and Murong, he was the little leader of the Jinyiwei.
He knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I am in a humble position!"
"You lead a team of Jinyiwei, a thousand imperial guards, secretly leave the palace and search for suspicious people. It is better to kill them by mistake than to let one go!"
"This Cao Hui will definitely appear again!"
Wuming was extremely cold and said, "As for humble duties, obey the order!"
After Qi Yong and Wuming retreated.
He called Tao Yang again and left the palace overnight to issue an order, asking Gu Chuntang to personally deal with the aftermath of the West Lake case.
This matter can be big or small, and the situation must be suppressed, otherwise people will be mourned and there will be a lot of public opinion pressure.
Those who died in West Lake by "Picking Flower Drum" are all well-known families. Most people cannot suppress the storm, so they can only send the prime minister to deal with it.
late at night.
He was still waiting for news in the imperial study.
Several Taibaos were executed, but Cao Hui still did not show up, and the Jinyiwei did not come back for a long time.
At this time, Eunuch Xi bent over and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, so let's go and rest first."
"Qianfu Palace, Concubine Dou sent someone to come earlier and asked you to come."
