Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 163 Military Material Embargo Act
After Lu Bing finished his report, Qian Yuan immediately summoned Guo Jia, Uncle Zhong and Song Ci.

He is preparing to launch a major purge in Yiyi Mansion.

Bing Cao is responsible for dispatching the army and preventing riots, Li Cao is responsible for the adjustment of officials, and Criminal Cao is responsible for the review of criminals.

After reading the information compiled by the black guard handed over by Qian Yuan, Guo Jia didn't say anything to Uncle Zhong, but Song Ci frowned, "Your Highness, I dare to ask, where did this information come from?"

"You don't have to worry about it, it must be accurate anyway."

Song Ci's frown deepened. Although he was not clear about the existence of the black-clad guards, he had vaguely heard of them. As a prisoner, he followed the Daqian Law as his guide, and he instinctively disliked such a spy organization.

Now that the tentacles of this organization have extended into the officialdom, Song Ci's resentment is even more aroused.

But Song Ci is not a rookie in the officialdom after all. After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Highness, I have looked at it. Some families on the list have not committed any crimes. Why are they also included?"

Song Ci asked the question knowingly.

This investigation by the black guards took half a year. In addition to investigating the officials who committed the crime, there was also a very important point, which was to find those who kept in contact with the fifth prince.

For such an existence, Qian Yuan will not be soft-hearted.

Qian Yuan glanced at Song Ci quietly, and said: "In the fiefdom, besides the law, there is also discipline. What is discipline? Loyalty to the palace is the greatest discipline. Do you understand me?"

Song Ci was startled, thoughtful.

"In addition to maintaining the law and acting in accordance with the law, Xingcao also has the responsibility of supervising and examining those who violate the discipline." Qian Yuan added that in the imperial court, this responsibility was assumed by Yushitai.

Therefore, this is definitely not Qianyuan's first creation, or it is unreasonable.

"The officer understands!"

Song Ci's momentum was suppressed, and it was difficult to mention the matter of the black guard.

Don't mention it, don't mention it, it doesn't mean that Song Ci is relieved, on the contrary, in his heart, he will only be more vigilant against the black guard.In the future, I'm afraid we will have to fight again.

…………

It's late October and the chill is getting strong.

What was more ruthless than the cold wave was the sudden outbreak of the Great Cleansing. Bing Cao, Li Cao, Xing Cao and the magistrate's yamen joined forces to set off a big storm in Yiyi Mansion.

In the following month, a total of one county magistrate, two county magistrates, more than a dozen cadres, and 175 subordinate officials were dismissed and investigated.

Some even went to jail.

The storm was not limited to the officialdom. A total of thirteen large and small families had their homes confiscated, and their members were either demoted to civilians, punished with hard labor, or directly beheaded.

The severity of the crime depends on how deeply they are involved with the Fifth Prince.

In order to prevent possible riots, Bing Cao ordered the Third Brigade of the Second Division of the Southwest Corps and the Yiyi City Guard Brigade to impose a month-long military martial law on the Yiyi Mansion.

The sound of the wind is roaring.

After the great purge, under the unified arrangement of the officials and Cao, the students admitted in the autumn examination entered the yamen at all levels of Yiyi Mansion to fill the vacancies left by the officials who investigated and dealt with them.

Almost seamlessly.

The most surprising thing was that Zhao Cheng, who had just been awarded the post of county magistrate, took advantage of this opportunity to be promoted again and was appointed magistrate of Thorn County.

Such good luck is really enviable.

Because of Zhao Cheng's promotion, the Zhao family swept away the previous decline and regained its prosperity. Zhao Wanming was completely convinced now. He was grateful to the Zhennan Palace, and his loyalty even surpassed that of the Feng family.

Qianyuan's wrist can be seen.

As everyone knows, Zhao Cheng's promotion is mainly due to Qian Yuan's love for the kill value, and the third-stage summoning now costs 2 kill points, which is not worthwhile.

There are only 3 places left in Class B, Qian Yuan is really reluctant.

The information collected by the black guards was very detailed, and Sancao's actions were carefully planned before the action. Before the other families in the Yiyi Mansion could react, the matter had already been settled.

The subordinate officials were handed over to the county government at all levels for interrogation, while the county magistrate, county magistrate, and cadres were escorted to Qingqiu City, where Xing Cao personally tried them.

This demonstrates the rule of law.

It shows that this cleansing is by no means aimless, in order to maintain Qianyuan's image.

As a vassal king, although Qianyuan can be unscrupulous, but to manage the fiefdom well, it is best not to get a bad reputation of "revenge for personal gain".

Even the confiscated families have evidence to present.

In this way, the royal family used the new policy to win over the people from poor families, and used iron and blood methods to frighten the local aristocratic families. With a two-pronged approach, the authority of the royal family was finally established in the Yiyi Mansion.

So far, the Yiyi Mansion is truly Qianyuan's territory.

…………

In the cleansing of Qianyuan, although the fifth prince became honest because of the incident of "establishing a prince", he still couldn't bear the bad breath and took revenge immediately.

For the fifth prince Gan Ke, this was a last resort.

The previous Feng Quji case had already damaged the prestige of the Fifth Prince Qianke in the southern border. If he didn't care about it this time and didn't express it at all, it would chill the hearts of the people below.

…………

On November [-]th, Zhennan Wangfu.

In the study, Guo Jiahui reported: "Your Highness, the southern border and even the western border have completely blocked the trade of military supplies to the fiefdom. Spiritual rice, medicinal materials, refined iron, leather and other supplies are no longer available."

It is really thought-provoking that the third prince Qiantai chose to join forces with the fifth prince this time in an attempt to curb the rise of Qianyuan.

It can be seen that after the crown prince incident, the structure of Shendu has undergone new changes.

It has to be said that the third prince Gantai is very resilient and courageous. He did not die because his group was severely damaged in the "Prince Establishment" incident, but went against the trend.

When it's time to make a move, he makes a move without hesitation or relentlessness.

Such a person is still very scary.

"What's the reason they gave?" Qian Yuan is not a soft persimmon now, if he doesn't have a valid reason, he can completely impeach him.

You don't have to swallow your breath like you did before.

"The reasons are all the same. It is said that the number of troops in the spring war was severely reduced, and there was an urgent need to replenish military supplies. Priority was given to meeting the procurement needs of the First and Fourth Legions. The counties even promulgated a temporary "Military Material Embargo Act". During the period, the two The Grand Army Corps made frequent moves, and wiped out all the military supplies on the market."

Guo Jia also had a headache, this time the other party used a conspiracy, and there was no reason to impeach him.

Qian Yuan sneered: "Fifth brother learned to be smart this time." If Qian Yuan knew that this move was Jia Xu's idea for the fifth prince, he wondered if he would vomit blood depressedly.

After sending Jia Xu away, the two sides entered a long period of silence and did not exchange information.This chess piece can only be activated at the most critical moment, Qian Yuan does not want to take any risk.

"Can I purchase from the Quicksand Country?" Qian Yuan asked.

Seeing that winter is coming to an end, spring is coming, and the pace of war is approaching day by day, Qian Yuan certainly understands the importance of purchasing war supplies.

The fifth prince's move is poisonous enough.

Guo Jia shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work. Military materials are not included in the list of goods for border trade, and they are clearly prohibited items to be traded."

"What about smuggling?" Qian Yuan asked.

"If you take the risk, you may be able to do it. It's just that the lower officials are worried that once the matter is exposed, it will destroy the current hard-won trade situation, and the gains will outweigh the losses."

"you're right."

Qian Yuan just went to the doctor in a hurry, rubbed his head, and said, "I'm going to contact Princess Qingcheng to see if I can purchase it through the Kunwu Chamber of Commerce."

"Naturally, it couldn't be better." Guo Jia was overjoyed.

…………

Qian Yuan was still too optimistic.

Since the third and fifth princes want to limit Qianyuan, how could they not consider the factors of the Kunwu Chamber of Commerce.

Immediately after the bill was promulgated, the branches of the Kunwu Chamber of Commerce in the south and west were ordered by the local yamen to be closely monitored.

If the Kunwu Chamber of Commerce does not want to give up the two-border market, it cannot act recklessly.

Although the backstage of the Kunwu Chamber of Commerce is Princess Qingcheng, the local yamen has the support of the third prince and the fifth prince. If they really want to do it, they will never be soft-hearted.

This time, Princess Qingcheng was helpless.

The Kunwu Chamber of Commerce failed to get through this way, and Qian Yuan was at a loss. At this moment, Guo Jia thought of another idea, which made Qian Yuan feel a little bit difficult.
