The strongest Marquis in history

He was so unlucky.

thump!

Zhu Shanchang lifted up his robe and knelt down, pleading guilty: "Your Majesty, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, I am responsible for governing Qi. However, during the governance period, such a huge omission occurred. This matter is due to negligence of duty. Please punish me."

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

Lan Yu then knelt down and said: "As the second assistant of the cabinet, I have not assisted Zhu Shoufu well, please punish me by Your Majesty."

The rest of the cabinet members knelt down one after another.

Even the officials of the six ministries knelt down together.

Longying is the head of the Supervision Department, and his Supervision Department is dedicated to supervising all officials in the world.It was his dereliction of duty that happened in Puyang County and Dongjun County.So Long Ying also knelt down.

The main officials of the civil service system knelt on the ground one after another, all pleading guilty.

Wang Qi looked at this scene with sharp eyes, and said: "Now, I know I have pleaded guilty. What were you doing before the incident happened? Especially the Supervision Department, it is even more dereliction of duty."

"The Supervision Department monitors the world, and its duty is to keep an eye on the illegal things in various places and the actions of officials. But here in Dongjun, a huge thing happened, and the Dongjun Supervision Department didn't know it."

"Supervisor, I am so disappointed."

Wang Qi looked at Longying and scolded him unceremoniously.

"My lord is guilty!"

The dragon eagle knocked its head on the ground.

He solemnly said: "Your Majesty, the supervisory department has neglected their duties and has not found any problems in Dongjun. I request you to go to Dongjun in person to investigate the mine. At the same time, investigate Yang Xiong's dereliction of duty and many violations of law and discipline."

Wang Qi said: "Longying, rectify your supervisory department. You don't have to participate in this matter."

"Sir, obey the order."

The expression on Long Ying's face was very helpless.

If he didn't participate, the emperor deprived him of the right to investigate the case in Puyang County, Dongjun County.This incident immediately affected the Supervision Department.

In Long Ying's heart, he was even more disappointed with the person in charge of the East County Supervision Department.

It is already determined to rectify.

Wang Qi said in a deep voice: "Chen Qinglong!"

"Chen is here!"

Chen Qinglong stepped forward.

He is the director of the Intelligence Bureau and has been in charge of intelligence investigations before.The violation of laws and regulations by local officials is the responsibility of the Supervision Department, and the intelligence bureau does not intervene.

After all, there can be no confusion.

Wang Qi ordered: "You lead the team yourself, and bring the elite of your intelligence bureau. Go to the East County of Yanzhou to investigate the matter in Puyang County. Yang Xiong and the rest of the case involved should be thoroughly investigated. I need an authoritative result."

"The minister obeys the order."

Chen Qinglong replied immediately.

Wang Qi looked around at all the officials in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The current territory of Qi State, whether it is east or west, or north and south, is thousands of miles away. The enemy of Qi State does not lie outside."

"Even if the Haixi Empire dominates the west, its strength is invincible. But in a real confrontation, the Haixi Empire is not our opponent of Qi. Therefore, the enemy of Qi lies within, and lies within itself."

"If you are complacent and self-respecting because Qi has laid down such a huge territory, you will ignore the life and death of the people, even the fish and meat of the people. In the end, you will suffer the consequences."

"The reason why we destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty was because under the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the common people had no means of living. You can't kill the evil dragon, and you will be called an evil dragon yourself. Don't be complacent just because you have a little achievement or a little political achievement."

In the hall, there was silence.

All the officials looked cold and serious, and they looked at the emperor Wang Qi with a little fear.

The emperor is back.

In the past, the emperor had been going on expeditions abroad, and these officials felt relieved that there was no one on their heads.

Now, there is pressure.

Obviously, the emperor had to deal with many problems within Qi.

Wang Qi said again: "I can tell you clearly that next, I will investigate the ministries of the imperial court, and even investigate the states of the world. Anyone who is corrupt and perverts the law will definitely not escape. If you surrender yourself, I can give you a lighter punishment as appropriate. Once you are found out, the crime will be aggravated."

Whoa! !

In the hall, there was an uproar.

All the people had serious expressions on their faces.

The emperor is serious.

Wang Qi flicked his sleeves and said, "Zhu Shanchang, make arrangements for Zhang Yannian. Everyone step back and reflect on themselves."

"Sir, please retire!"

Zhu Shanchang stood up, he took Zhang Yannian, and all the people retreated.It's just that at this time, Zhu Shanchang and the others lost their ease and comfort on their faces, and they were all a little dignified.

When everyone left, Wang Qi got up and went to the harem.

When Wang Qi returned to the harem, Zhao Yuyan, Tuoba Changge, and Mi Zhen were all there.As for Satuo's country, the daughters of Akaduo of Bamu City and Shou Tuo Na of Chiguo City who were accepted also went to the harem.

It's just that Akado's daughter and Shoutu Tuona's daughter have already been arranged in the palace.

Did not get together.

Wang Qi looked at Zhao Yuyan, Mi Zhen and Tuoba Changge with a smile on his face.

He is back again.

It took a long time to go out this time, but for Qi, it was worthwhile to take down Satu and White Elephant, and open up the connection between the Western Regions, Satu and White Elephant.

When Wang Qi returned to the harem, he saw the three daughters, and they were all in love with each other, sleeping together under the quilt.For Wang Qi, he was full of physical strength, and under his strength, all three women were defeated.

After a while, the atmosphere became harmonious.

Chapter 1125 Operation Thunder

Dongjun, located in the north of Yanzhou, borders Weijun of Jizhou.

The seat of Dongjun is in Puyang County.Today's Dongjun is quite prosperous, and the business is very prosperous.The reason is simple. After the train runs through Qi State, there will be a huge demand for coal mines.

Especially the train, a product of mechanization, handles a large number of coal mines every day.In addition to the rest of the industries, they are now beginning to be mechanized and require a large number of coal mines.

So coal mining has become a pillar industry.

Puyang County is rich in coal mines, rich in mineral deposits, and even open-pit coal mines, which is the reason for the prosperity of Puyang County.

The economy of Puyang County is very prosperous.

Just like this, Dongjun also became prosperous because of the coal mines in Puyang County.

Yang Xiong, the prefect of Dongjun, in the whole Yanzhou, also because of the prosperous business of Dongjun, he can pay a large amount of taxes, so Yang Xiong also has a lot of political achievements in Yanzhou.After all, a large number of businesses have been produced, and a large amount of taxes have been paid to the state.

Taxes also represent political achievements.However, the prosperity of Dongjun is superficial.Because the economic development has not benefited the local people, these ordinary people are not very easy to live except for food and clothing.

That is to say, they live on sweet potatoes, corn, and other grains. Anyway, they will not die of hunger.

Only the most basic protection.

There are many others, but none.

Inside Puyang County, Beicheng Taishou Mansion, in the hall.

Singing and dancing continued, and even more decadent sounds were played, echoing in the hall.

Yang Xiong was dressed in a thin Shu brocade robe, and sat casually on the main seat, with two charming women waiting beside him.The weather in April and May, the daytime is quite warm, women don't wear much clothes, and the thinness makes their figure more prominent, and even the hidden parts of their bodies are faintly visible, which makes people feel a little excited.

The singer in the hall dances lightly.

On both sides of the hall, there are a group of businessmen, all of whom are big businessmen from Dongjun.These people are all people who depend on Yang Xiong for their lives.

Yang Xiong was extremely heroic, picked up the wine bottle, and exchanged cups with a group of people, very cordial.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the atmosphere is in full swing.

Yang Xiong waved his hand, all the singers in the hall retreated.Everyone also tacitly put down the wine bottles in their hands, knowing that something was coming.

Yang Xiong sat up straight and stopped molesting the diva sitting beside him.He looked around at everyone, with a serious expression on his face, and said slowly: "Everyone, it is already the end of April and May is about to enter. This year, a few months have passed. This month's tax should be collected again, and it is still expected You can support me a lot.”

Among the businessmen below, the leader is Wang Changxi. He is a big businessman with a shareholding in the coal mine. He is also the leader of the gang in Puyang County. He is a partner with Yang Xiong and also a person who specializes in coal mines.

Wang Changxi had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Prefect Yang, according to the old rules, all taxes will be paid truthfully, and there will be no deductions. Please rest assured, Lord Prefect."

"Yes, yes, please rest assured, my lord."

"When I do things under the rule of the prefect, I will abide by the rules and laws, and there will be no overstepping."

"Please don't worry, my lord."

Businessmen expressed their opinions one after another.

Everyone's attitude is the same, and they are all supportive.

After all, paying taxes must be done.

Otherwise, Yang Xiong will not be able to pass this test.

Yang Xiong nodded when he heard the words of the crowd, with a smile on his face, he stroked the beard under his chin, and said slowly: "Everyone, if you pay taxes normally, I won't say anything, what should I do?" Do whatever you want."

"It's just that the situation in Yanzhou has changed at the moment. Lord Ling Jiuxiao, the governor of Yanzhou, is preparing to retire due to illness. According to the news that spread, Lord Ling will assess the officials of the following counties and select suitable people to recommend to the court. Please consider the imperial court."

"After all, the imperial court still has to consider the recommendation of the governor of Yanzhou. And to govern Yanzhou, it is most appropriate to choose from the grassroots officials below Yanzhou."

"I have quite a lot of political achievements in Yanzhou, and I still have some hope. But to take over this position, I must have outstanding political achievements. And what does the official's political achievements come from? It comes from taxes."

"This time, I beg you all to help me."

Yang Xiong flicked his sleeves, shook his sleeve robe and said: "As long as I finish the job, I will definitely not treat you badly afterwards. This is my promise, please help me."

Whoa! !

In the hall, discussions started immediately, and everyone talked a lot.

Everyone knew Yang Xiong's intentions.

He also understood Yang Xiong's thoughts.

This is to allow them to give more taxes, so as to have a beautiful political performance.Of course, according to Yang Xiong's greedy nature, Yang Xiong would secretly withhold part of the taxes they handed over as his own.

Wang Changxi said in a deep voice: "If Prefect Yang can go further, we will go all out to support. This month, the tax on my Lingshan mines is doubled, which means that this month's production is doubled. Everything is done. It's to support adults."

"I also pay double the tax."

"Me, too."

"Here, I also pay double the tax and go all out to support the adults."

Businessmen expressed their opinions one after another.

Everyone supports Yang Xiong.

Faced with such a situation, Yang Xiong also showed a smile of approval on his face, very satisfied with everyone's answers.

He stroked the beard under his chin, and said with a smile: "Everyone has a sincere heart, and I would like to thank you. As long as I can go further, I will live up to you in the future. It is the same sentence, everyone earns money together. Good luck, let’s enjoy together.”

Wang Changxi gave a thumbs up and praised: "Master Yang, you are so righteous. You are my good parents in Dongjun. No, you are my good parents in Yanzhou."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately praised them.

Everyone is admirable.

Everyone's faces were filled with joy and anticipation for the future.Once Yang Xiong becomes Yanzhou Mu, they will definitely get a lot of benefits, and it will be easier to do business and make money.

Businessmen do business with ordinary methods and earn too little money, so they hope to go through the back door and have Yang Xiong take care of them, which will make it easier.

"Report!"

At this moment, a servant hurried in.

Seeing this, Yang Xiong frowned immediately, and scolded: "Why panic, what's the proper way to look flustered?"

The attendant said: "My lord, a group of people came from outside the city of Puyang County. When we were at the gate of the city, our people questioned the other party's identity. The other party said that the Intelligence Bureau was handling the case, so they broke in directly, and there was no way to stop them."

Yang Xiong snorted, and scolded: "The Intelligence Bureau's work is to thoroughly investigate state secrets, and it has nothing to do with us. They want to investigate, so why do you take care of it? As long as it's not the actions of the Supervision Department, you don't need to take care of everything."

The attendant said: "Your Excellency is wise."

"Report!"
