Almighty System Great Master Qin

Chapter 270 Mr. Wu An's Persuasion
After Xiao Hong showed the token given to him by Qin Shihuang, he strode into Xianyang Palace. At this time, Qin Shihuang was resting in his bedroom.

"Your Majesty," a servant bowed and walked lightly to a position three meters away from Qin Shihuang's window.

"What's the matter?" Qin Shihuang's voice came from the curtain beside the bed.

"Qizou Your Majesty, Mr. Wu An is seeking an audience outside," the servant bowed and replied.

"Oh, Mr. Wu An is here, lead Mr. Wu An to wait in the side hall." When Qin Shihuang heard that it was Xiao Hong who had arrived, he stopped sleeping.

"Zunzhi" the servant bowed and retreated.

"Jun Wu An, Your Majesty has ordered you to wait in the side hall," the chamberlain said as he bowed and walked out of Qin Shihuang's palace.

"Okay, lead the way"

"Please, Mr. Wu'an," the servant led Xiao Hong to the side hall.

Under the service of the maid, Qin Shihuang changed into ordinary clothes and walked into the side hall.

"I see Your Majesty" Xiao Hong saw Qin Shihuang walking in, got up and bowed to salute.

"You don't need to be polite, sit down." Qin Shihuang told Xiao Hong to sit down, no need to salute.

"Thank you Your Majesty"

"Aiqing hasn't been here for a long time, what's the matter today?" Qin Shihuang naturally knew that Xiao Hong was investigating the corruption of Daqin Mining Group during this time.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, when I went to Daqin Mining Group a month ago, I found out that there was corruption in the group, so I asked Shen Kuo to lead people to intervene in the investigation, and now some things have been found out."

"Looking at Aiqing, I must have discovered a lot of things." Although Qin Shihuang knew that Xiao Hong was investigating the corruption of Daqin Mining Group, he did not intervene and did not let anyone participate in the investigation.

"Yes, Your Majesty, after a month of investigation by Shen Kuo, a total of [-] corrupt stewards were discovered, and seven of them colluded with the remnants of the six royal families and sold a small amount of iron ore and coal mines at low prices. They" Xiao Hong told Qin Shihuang the general things first.

"What!! These merchants dare to collude with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms!" In the eyes of Qin Shihuang, the entire Daqin Mining Group is just a collection of merchants, and now there is no concept of state-owned enterprises, so the staff of Daqin Mining Group are essentially They are merchants, but they have a higher status than ordinary merchants.

"Yes, Your Majesty, these seven stewards have sold five hundred catties of iron ore and one thousand catties of coal mines to the remnants of the six countries through various methods within a few months. And I am worried that the remnants of the six countries will buy such a large amount of money. Iron ore, does it mean that you have mastered the method of mass production of steelmaking? After all, only mass production of steelmaking requires such a large amount of ore." Xiao Hong said his thoughts.

"Come here" Qin Shihuang also felt that Xiao Hong's worry was very reasonable.

"Your Majesty," a chamberlain bowed and walked into the side hall.

"Let Jiang Xiu come to see me"

"Zunzhi" the servant hurriedly retreated.

These chamberlains have been serving Qin Shihuang all year round, so they naturally know Qin Shihuang's temper very well. Often calling him by his first name means that Qin Shihuang is very angry now.

In just a cup of tea, Shaofu Jiangxiu arrived.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Jiang's Mansion is waiting for the order outside the hall." The servant in charge of delivering the order bowed and walked into the side hall.

"let him in"

"Here." After the servant bowed and stepped back, he stood at the door of the side hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a decree to send to Young Master Jiang's residence for an audience."

Only then did Jiang Xiu enter the hall.

"I refer to Your Majesty." Jiang Xiu bowed and saluted.

"Excuse me, let me ask you whether the production of Baisteel is still under the management of the Shaofu?" Qin Shihuang looked at Jiang Xiu and asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the production of Baisteel has always been the responsibility of the Shaofu. For this reason, the Shaofu has expanded its manpower three times. At present, if all the steelmaking furnaces are turned on at the same time, they can mass produce [-] catties of Baisteel every day." Jiang Xiu bowed and said.

"Okay, since the production of Bailiang Steel is under the management of the Shaofu, you should go and investigate now to see if someone secretly leaked the method of Bailiang Steelmaking in the two fields. If someone leaks the method, the Yi Tribe will be affected." Qin Shihuang said in a stern tone.

"Here, the minister leads the order, and the investigation will be started immediately." Jiang Xiu hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"You back off"

"Here, I will leave." Jiang Xiu bowed and slowly exited the hall.

Although Qin Shihuang's tone was strict, it was not aimed at Jiang Xiu. After all, Jiang Xiu's ability to serve as the Shaofu was enough to show that his loyalty to Qin Shihuang was beyond doubt.

After Jiang Xiu exited the main hall, he hurried to the Shaofu's office.

"Jun Wu An has recently been investigating the corruption problem of Daqin Mining Group, and now His Majesty suspects that someone secretly leaked the mass production method of steelmaking. It seems that the world of Daqin is about to change." Jiang, who was once one of the Nine Qings Xiu, of course he is not a idiot.

By analyzing Wu Anjun's recent actions and Qin Shihuang's performance today, Jiang Xiu can confirm in an instant that someone in the Daqin Mining Group is colluding with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms to resell ore.

"Your Majesty, after being interrogated by Rong Shangshu, these merchants who colluded with the remnants of the six royal families are currently concentrated in the four counties of Dongjun, Dangjun, Qinghe and Jibei. I suggest that Your Majesty can send Xuanwuwei to arrest these merchants. "Xiao Hong suggested that Qin Shihuang send Xuanwu Guards.

"Does the Xuanwu Guard need to be dispatched just to arrest these merchants? The county guards in each county have enough soldiers under their command." Qin Shihuang thought that it was only to arrest some merchants, so there was no need to use the Xuanwu Guard.

"It is true that there are garrisons in every county, but Your Majesty, the various parts of Daqin have just stabilized, and this trip is to some counties and counties that were the homeland of the Six Kingdoms. I am worried that if soldiers from various counties are used, it is inevitable that there will be killings. The act of pretending to be meritorious will cause the people of these four counties to panic at that time, won't it fulfill the remnants of the six kingdoms?" Xiao Hong bowed and said.

"Well, Aiqing is very considerate, if that's the case, then send Xuanwu guards, Wang Yan"

"Your Majesty" Wang Yan has been standing behind Qin Shihuang on the left side.

"You heard what Mr. Wu An just said, right?"

"Yes Your Majesty"

"Okay, since this is the case, we will dispatch one hundred Xuanwu Guards to the four counties to arrest these merchants. Remember not to hurt innocent people."

"The minister obeys the order" Wang Yan bowed to accept the order.

"Aiqing, where are those stewards who colluded with the remnants of the Six Kingdoms now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, these people are currently being held in the prison of the Ministry of Justice."

"Since they dare to collude with the remnants of the Six Nations, then they will pay the price and let someone pass on the message."

"Your Majesty" a servant came in with a bow.

"Pass the decree to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, telling him that all the officials who have colluded with the remnants of the six kingdoms, all the tribes of the barbarians will warn the world, and all merchants who dare to collude with the remnants of the six kingdoms, all the tribes of the barbarians."

"Your Majesty" Xiao Hong hurriedly said.

"What else is there, love?"

"I implore Your Majesty, let go of these family members who are in charge." Xiao Hong bowed and said.

"Why let their family members go! These stewards have colluded with the remnants of the six countries, and their families are also guilty, and they should be executed together! And how can we shock the world otherwise?" Qin Shihuang did not intend to let their family members go.

"Your Majesty, the family members of these stewards don't know about it. They are not guilty of any crime, and these stewards have also contributed to the development of Daqin Mining Group. Please forgive them for the sake of this merit." Family" Xiao Hong bowed again and said.

Qin Shihuang looked at Xiao Hong, who bowed ninety degrees, and finally gave up the punishment of these three tribes who colluded with the remnants of the six countries and governed the barbarians, but their family members could not escape the death penalty. These are easier, they will all be classified as Xing Tu, and join the team to build the mausoleum.
