Bright Era

Chapter 834: Lingering

Anguo, Yueguo, Yuguo, grief everywhere!

Of course, those who cried and cried were the relatives of the officials and officials. As for the civil and military officials, they didn’t have time to cry, but prepared a heavy gift—heavier than the tribute they prepared for the emperor during the New Year’s Festival. Like a green-headed fly that smelled of blood, it approached Lin Qi's temporary resident gate and waited tremblingly for Lin Qi's reception.

The people in the three major provinces didn't know what happened to their parents. These things had nothing to do with the people. But for these officials, they were cut off by Lin Qi, which has a bearing on the prosperity of their children and grandchildren!

At this moment, they hated Dinghaiwang Yingyi! It's wrong that he was going to give Lin Qi a good start, how could they not meet Lin Qi and Princess Qingli? But regretting the medicine, there is no need to take them. Faced with the tremendous pressure of Lin Qi and Princess Qingli, they can only pray for Lin Qi's forgiveness.

Lin Qi's temporary residence was a house in Xianqian Mountain, the largest merchant in Angkor province. This garden covers an area of ​​nearly one thousand acres. It was originally a place for the elderly in Xianqianshan for his mother. It is a brand-new house just completed. Hearing that Lin Qi came here, and Lin Qi had not yet decided where the future palace is located, and there was no place to stay, he immediately offered this house.

The huge house yard is densely forested, and all the trees are thousands of years old. It was the salty buried hill that spent a lot of money to let the servants carefully select from the deep mountains and old forests. It took countless manpower and material resources to transport them to Anmin City.

Under a huge old banyan tree, Lin Qi sat on a log bench, listening to the reports of several accountants with his legs folded.

These accountants belonged to Princess Qingli, and Princess Qingli sent them to check the treasury of the three provinces and thoroughly check the balance of the accounts over the years. The results of the investigation were astonishing. All the warehouses in the three major provinces, whether they were provincial or local states and counties, were clean and clean. In the warehouses in the largest county, only three thousand taels of silver were left!

Not only was the money storeroom clean and there was no money left, but in the military armouries of the three major provinces, there were only broken weapons and less than ten thousand bows and arrows. In the granary, there were more than 100 large and small granaries. There are enough food stocks for hundreds of millions of Lebanese people in the three major provinces to use for more than one year, but now all the food stocks add up to only 200,000 tons!

What made Lin Qi collapse the most was that the warehouse had no money, weapons, and food. The three major provinces actually owed two years of salaries to civil and military officials, as well as pensions for widows and widows, and disabled soldiers. Hundreds of millions of taels of gold for the construction of dams by Hegong, Hugong, and Offshore Engineering.

The Blood Qin Empire established the country by military force, but gave preferential treatment to scholars of scholars. Each province, state, county, prefecture, county, etc. has corresponding provincial, state, county, prefectural, county, etc., three There are millions of scholars studying in the province, and according to the rules of the Blood Qin Empire, these scholars need to be fully supported by the local government.

For food, clothing, shelter, transportation, and even a set of clothes and rouge for the wives and concubines of these scholars, the provinces with excellent financial situation even pay a certain salary for these scholars to hire maids!

The three major provinces have already owed these scholars of Wen Sheng for three months without paying for their sacrifices, and the money has also fallen on Lin Qi.

What made Lin Qi speechless was that after he was named the prince of An Guo, Yue Guo, and Yu Guo, the big and small government offices of these three provinces began to repair the official government at the same time, and they all spent money on the wide area. They dare to build according to the specifications of the state government. In just half a month, these yamen have not been repaired yet, but the arrears of wages and materials are already an astronomical figure.

"That is to say!"

After hearing the reports of these accountants, Lin Qi said coldly: "This king took over the fiefs of these three provinces. Not only did he not receive a penny, but at least he had to pay more than 1.2 billion taels of gold to wipe their butts. ?"

Several accountants looked at Lin Qi cautiously, and they smiled bitterly: "Master, that's it!"

A bold accountant took a step forward and whispered back: "Perhaps it's more than that, because we only checked the accounts for the last two years, and there are some accounts that have been in arrears over the years. Then they will have to be counted. Come on!"

Lin Qi gently stroked the roots of the old banyan tree that covered more than ten acres of land around him, like a small forest. He nodded gently and said, "Okay, okay, it's really great. According to your experience, can you be poor like this with three provinces of second character?"

Lin Qi’s question is very simple, but several accountants looked at each other for a while, and it took a long time for the bold person to smile bitterly: "Where can the prince speak? The Blood Qin Empire really has a place to cry, but that It’s only in the provinces of the seventh, eight, and ninth ranks. Above the sixth-rank province, there is a surplus every year; the fifth-rank province, the annual surplus is enough to support a dozen inferior provinces. Where is the poverty above the province?"

Another accountant said in a low voice: "Although the three provinces of Anguo, Yueguo, and Yuguo are ranked second, in fact, their wealth is no different from that of the first-class province, but they are suppressed by some people. They are not allowed to be promoted to the first grade. According to common sense, the warehouses of these three provinces should have at least a balance of hundreds of millions of taels of gold..."

Lin Qi spread his hands: "The balance of hundreds of millions taels of gold should be my king's money! But now the warehouse is empty and the money is gone, but the books are all accounted for! In other words, someone took it. For the money that originally belonged to the king, there was still a mess left for the king to pay for himself!"

Several accountants lowered their heads, and at the beginning, the daring accountant smiled bitterly: "Wang Ye Shengming, if the books of the government offices in these three provinces are fraudulent collectively, these fraudsters are not a minority, and They are proficient in means of money and food and want to investigate thoroughly..."

Lin Qi waved his hand lazily: "Take a thorough investigation? Where is the king free to talk with them? Those people waiting outside the door were all caught in a prison and tortured, and squeezed out the last copper plate of their house. Hu Xinzhu Hu Xinzhu, didn't I let you arrest someone?"

On the big banyan tree, Hu Xinzhu jumped down with a headed green onion. He lazily leaned against the air root of a big banyan tree, lazily sighing: "Really starting to do it? This is the size of hundreds of thousands of three provinces. Official, are you really cruel?"

Lin Qi glanced at him sideways: "The money you get back will count as your 10% share!"

Hu Xinzhu's body suddenly stiffened, and he happily jumped up like a slug, rolled up his sleeves and rushed out: "Knock the bones, **** the marrow, cramp and peel the skin. Come over, you four bastards! Brothers, light up everything. Renma, catch all these **** on the list for me!"

On the street outside the manor, many civil and military officials were anxiously waiting for Lin Qi’s reception. Suddenly, they saw countless half-length armors and wide-brimmed iron helmets spurting out from both ends of the street. The secret spy and spy who made the pleated skirt. These wolf-like spies didn't reason with people at all, and they took a short rod made of wrought copper and struck them at the officials.

One official after another was beaten to the ground and fell to the ground crying and crying, and some were beaten to the ground on the spot.

Before these people got up, countless guards in silver armor swarmed in, dragging the fallen officials away like a dead dog. Suddenly there was chaos on the street, and tens of thousands of officials screamed and rushed around, trying to escape here, but at least one hundred thousand guards surrounded the city. No matter how they ran, they could not escape the pursuit.

In half an hour, the officials gathered in front of Lin Qi's door were caught in a single net, and they were thrown into the prison for good or bad. Hu Xinzhu's old subordinates, and those who are proficient in punishment, sent out one after another. They severely tortured these officials, and suddenly the miserable cries of these officials echoed over the entire Anmin City.

Princess Qingli’s private soldiers in Qingli country came to the three provinces continuously. With these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, plus the large-scale secret spy agents controlled by Hu Xinzhu to monitor the Quartet, Lin Qi is not afraid of these three provinces at all. What derailment can the officials do?

If they dare to react aggressively, Lin Qi can't ask for it! Use violence to eradicate them all, just like Yingzheng's methods, so that his three provinces will become clean and will truly become his fief.

Having dealt with these matters that weren't a big deal in Lin Qi's eyes, Lin Qi put his arms around the Paradise, and slowly came to Princess Qingli's residence.

This is an aboriginal house located on the mountainside, overlooking a small lake. When entering this garden, Princess Qingli saw this place at a glance and chose it as her residence. Now Sha Xinyue and Princess Qingli are getting together, and the two women are talking and laughing, standing on the terrace overlooking the small lake below.

As soon as Lin Qi and Elysium walked to the terrace, Sha Xinyue gave Lin Qi a white look, Yang Tian yawned and turned and left.

Lin Qi looked at Sha Xinyue unclearly, while Princess Qingli pursed her lips and came to Lin Qi, tidying up the slightly messy collar for him: "The husband has offended Xinyue so badly, she and Husband met in the Western Continent, but I have never heard of the favor of the goddess of youth."

Lin Qi rolled her eyes, just because of this, Sha Xinyue showed her face?

The problem is that when Lin Qi himself was hired, he knew that he still had such a thing.

Just about to talk to Princess Qingli, Princess Qingli's body suddenly stiffened, and her eyes that were as soft as water became extremely rigid. From the depths of her eyes, a touch of extreme fear that could not be concealed suddenly surged.

Lin Qi's face suddenly changed. He had seen Galina using a spell to control Princess Qingli. At that time Princess Qingli was also stiff and unable to move! But Galina has been captured alive by Lin Po, who is this again?

Hugging Princess Qingli, who was showing fear on her face, Lin Qi slowly shouted in that gloomy voice: "Where is the expert?"

A slick voice rang: "An expert is not counted, but, is it a relative of the prince?" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point (qidian.com) to vote, Monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
