Ringed softly.

Ren Yi unlocked the key box in his hand and raised it high with both hands again.

"Your Highness, in order for the empire to last forever, for the country to be unimpeded, and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, I boldly implore you to inherit and use the imperial seal as soon as possible."

When Qian Liang and others heard this, they stood upright and shouted loudly: "I have the courage to ask your highness to inherit and use the jade seal passed down to the country."

Ren Ning looked at them deeply and nodded slowly after a long while.

"In view of your lords' patriotism and the fact that national affairs are indeed complex and urgent, I have followed the precedent and activated the national jade seal."

After saying that, he stood up, put on his clothes, and carefully took the key box from Ren Yi.

The box is not big.

When he opened it, he found two copper keys side by side inside.

The key is simple and old, covered with the mottled appearance of time.

Its style is not eye-catching, it can even be said to be a bit vulgar, and it is impossible to tell that it is used to keep the jade seal passed down from the country.

The only eye-catching thing is that there are two small characters engraved in seal script on the handles of the two keys.

Take a closer look.

It turns out to be "Yun Chui" and "Chuan Guo".

Ren Ning first showed the inside of the box to several ministers, and after everyone was sure it was correct, he looked at the tall pile of folds behind them.

"The situation of the country is very heavy, so it is no time to delay. The Grand Master and several other ministers are here. I wonder where the jade seal passed down to the country is now?"

Seeing that Ren Ning was on the right track, Qian Liang and others were even more happy, and they all let out a sigh of relief.

"Your Highness," Fan Wen stood up again.

He cleared his throat.

"According to the imperial etiquette, after the death of the late emperor, the imperial seal will be temporarily kept by the Zongren Mansion Zong Ling, but in fact the old Zong Ling just put the imperial seal into the treasure box in front of all the noble ministers. Then just give the key to the Grand Master."

"Actually, the treasure box containing the imperial seal has been stored in the palace, in the late emperor's treasure house. It is guarded by three hundred forbidden troops at all times. No one except His Highness is allowed to approach it at this time."

It turned out to be the case.

Ren Ning was stunned.

He thought he was going to the clan mansion.

Although there are guards there, they are not very tight. It is indeed not suitable for keeping the jade seal passed down from the country. It is usually only used to imprison or restrain the sons and grandsons of dragons who violate laws and regulations.

In addition, not long ago, Princess Yiguang was still there to let the old Zongling enforce the family law, kill and banish many princes and grandsons who violated disciplines and regulations. Now it can be said that there are few people there.

The most important thing is that after Chen Xiumei, the former crown prince, was deposed, her whole family was imprisoned there, and her trial has not yet been finalized.

Therefore, no matter whether they are relatives of the emperor or the country, they are very taboo about the family mansion.

"Your Highness." Someone stood up, his eyes flickering, "Speaking of the Zongren Mansion, I can't help but think of a sinner."

"Chen Xiumei was a member of the royal family in vain. She did not cultivate literary virtues or military strategies, nor practiced sage words and deeds. She was lustful internally and corrupt and perverted the law externally. Fortunately, the late emperor was wise and abolished his position as crown prince. This was an act of obeying God's will to quell the people's anger. The court and the people Everyone applauded.”

"Although Chen Xiumei was demoted, the late Emperor was generous and merciful. I thought he would wake up and change his ways."

"However, he has no memory of the kindness of the late emperor. Although the family lives in the clan mansion, they shout and shout every day. Not only do they look crazy and lose the royal demeanor, but they also speak rebelliously and frequently speak nonsense. It is an unforgivable crime to directly target all the royal relatives, including His Highness and Concubine.”

Having said this, the man bowed his body to the ground.

"Your Highness, I believe that there is no possibility of saving such people who have committed such heinous crimes and are ungrateful. They should be severely punished according to the law and wrongdoing, so as to set the record straight and show respect and emulation."

Ren Ning looked at this man deeply.

Under the golden finger, the opponent's head showed an ordinary yellow color, and the value was quite high, 64.

Yellow means that there is neither evil nor kindness towards him.

A high value indicates that the body is relatively healthy. "Who is this?" Ren Ning asked.

He is familiar with and understands several people in the living room, including Grand Master Ren Yi, Minister of Hubu Qian Liang, Minister of Rites Fan Wen, Minister of War Guanyi and Minister of Personnel.

I have never seen the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Justice.

Baichuan perked up.

How to deal with Chen Xiumei was none of his business, but he stood up and talked so much just to give Ren Ning a good impression.

"Back to Your Highness, the Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Bai Chuan."

"Bai Chuan." Ren Ning said the name expressionlessly.

"Speaking of the Ministry of Industry," he suddenly looked at Qian Liang, "Shang Shu Qian, years ago I gave you some suggestions on how to build a new canal for the empire. I wonder what happened next?"

When Bai Chuan heard this, his face suddenly turned pale.

Qian Liang glanced at him with pity.

When did you flatter me wrongly now?

But he did not dare to hesitate.

"Going back to Your Highness, after receiving Your Highness's order, I immediately expressed my anger with Qin Ming, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry."

"In just over a month, Mr. Qin has already led the team and has been surveying the geology in Misty County. I believe that with Mr. Qin's ability and sense of responsibility, it will not take long before clear survey results are sent back."

"Very good." Ren Ning clasped the Eight Immortals table in front of him in a depressed manner, "Everyone, the empire has been at war in recent years, and the people in some counties have been displaced, without food or clothing."

"Now that the wars in the empire have generally subsided, and the surrounding borders are peaceful, if the people continue to sell their children and women to make a living as they did in the past, it will be a shame for everyone, including me and all of you. Do you hear me clearly?"

Everyone in the living room was shocked and said, "I understand."

Ren Ning nodded and sounded more relaxed.

"Back to the Ministry of Industry, I met Mr. Qin a few years ago. Mr. Qin also made some special instruments for me several times. I am very satisfied with the quality and cost. I believe you have heard about it. Have you passed?"

Qian Liang and others looked at each other in confusion. Regardless of whether they had heard of it or not, they all had no choice but to reply, "Go back to your highness, I have heard something."

"Very good. Although there are many people in the empire, there is a lack of talents like Mr. Qin who are dedicated to work. He can definitely be called the top craftsman of the empire and a rare doer."

"Therefore, everyone must fully support Mr. Qin's work; everyone must respond and cooperate with him as soon as possible. If there are any difficulties, please raise them to me in time and let me solve them."

Everyone in the conference room was shocked.

This evaluation, this request...

For Qin Ming, it is simply a death-free gold medal and a universal pass.

Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but raise their voices, "I will remember it."

Well.

Ren Ning was very satisfied.

"In the coming days, the empire will vigorously develop people's livelihood and crack down on all kinds of illegal laws and regulations so that the people in all counties can live and work in peace and contentment."

"As for the various ministries of the imperial court, they must continue to vigorously explore talents from all aspects, including not only scholars and farmers, but also industrial and commercial people who were looked down upon before. No matter which aspect, regardless of the person's identity, age or background, as long as they have the ability, they will give them good treatment and support. Understood. ?"

Regarding the word "business and industry", Ren Ning knocked on the table again and emphasized his tone.

"Yes!"

Guanyi, the Minister of War, secretly wiped his sweat.

He understood Ren Ning's meaning best.

According to the tradition of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, businessmen are the most despised.

But if there were not a large number of caravans in the empire, the empire might have been lost during last year's Dinghai Pier War.

Without the help of a large number of caravans, the current war in Huayang County and the huge amount of wood needed for the future East China Sea Barrier ship building would probably be a big problem.
