Water Margin people

"Your Majesty, that was all during the Song Dynasty!"

The leader of the merchants surnamed Wang quickly shirks his responsibility. They mainly do business on Hedong Road. That place has been quite chaotic in recent years. The forces of the Song Dynasty, Tian Hu, Liao Kingdom, Jin Kingdom, and Xixia Kingdom were mixed. It was only in the past two years that Qi Kingdom regained control. Hedong Road.

"Do you mean to write off the affairs of the previous dynasty? Even if you are traitors, you are still selling the Song Dynasty, right?"

Sun Lei squinted his eyes and looked at the Shanxi merchants in front of him. These people must have thought of these words for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this new official is continuing the old official affairs. Everything we do is actually helpful to Your Majesty in unifying the world, isn't it?"

The Shanxi merchants smiled flatteringly.

"That seems to make sense, but if you sell the Song Dynasty, will that mean you will also sell our country, Qi?"

Sun Lei looked at this group of Shanxi merchants with a sneer. These people were really smart to the core, and they could talk about treason so high-soundingly.

"Your Majesty, of course we don't dare!"

Shanxi merchants quickly explained.

"Don't you dare? I think you are planning to continue this rhetoric. Since Qi State has inherited the unification, it is natural that we have to settle the affairs of the previous dynasty. Otherwise, I will let all those corrupt officials go? The blood of Tokyo Caishikou It seems like you haven’t done it yet?”

Sun Lei said coldly, what he wants to replace the Song Dynasty is to liquidate everything. Corrupt officials will be liquidated, and naturally these traitors will also be liquidated.

"Your Majesty, I'll wait..."

The Shanxi merchants were so frightened that they lay on the ground and trembled. The Qi State was not merciless in killing people. They knew that those corrupt officials of the Song Dynasty were beheaded at the food market in Tokyo.

The reason why Shanxi merchants could become big was inseparable from the corrupt officials in the Song Dynasty. If merchants wanted to do things, they could not do without bribing officials.

"Pei Xuan, these people are left to you!"

Sun Lei took a photo of the accounts in front of him, then stood up and left.

Pei Xuan walked forward expressionlessly and flipped through the accounts casually.

"Someone, lock them all up!"

Pei Xuan shouted outside the hall, and the soldiers filed in and arrested a group of Shanxi merchants.

"Spare my life..."

Before the Shanxi merchants could speak, the soldiers directly covered their mouths.

Two days later, the Xijin Mansion army set off and headed towards Liangshan City.

"Your Majesty, the results of the interrogation are out!"

Pei Xuan handed a memorial to Sun Lei.

"so much?"

Sun Lei looked through it and found that Shanxi merchants had done a lot of things that betrayed the country and benefited the enemy in recent years.

"Follow the law. Kill those who deserve to be killed, and confiscate those who deserve. As for trade, just support a group. If there are not many retired soldiers, give priority to them."

Sun Lei looked at Pei Xuan and Zhu Wu and said, he was worried that there would be no place to put the injured and retired soldiers, so there is no place here.

"Your Majesty, Shanxi merchants are like this, and other merchants are probably there too!"

Pei Xuan said.

“Guilty shall be punished!”

Sun Lei only replied with four words. No matter who committed the crime, they must be dealt with according to the law, and these merchants were no exception.

Sun Lei walked very slowly along the way, and wherever the army went, the people spontaneously lined the streets to welcome him.

Liangshan City was decorated with lights and colors as if it were New Year’s Day.

"It needs to be better arranged, with more red silk ribbons! Your Majesty's return from the expedition must be grand and grand!"

Zhu Fu shouted to the soldiers.

The main street in Liangshan City has been cleared, and the businesses on both sides have closed their doors.

"Your Majesty is already ten miles away!"

A soldier came to report.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry up!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Fu urged the soldiers again.

"It's too late, don't do this, let people sprinkle water on it and sweep the streets again!"

Zhu Gui came over and said that red silk ribbons and the like were not important, the key point was that the streets were clean, even though they had been swept many times.

"Yes, hurry up, Qingshui Jingdao."

Only then did Zhu Fu realize that it was too late to add anything more.

As the gongs and drums sounded, Sun Lei slowly appeared outside Liangshan City with his army.

"Haha, Liangshan City has expanded a lot! Mr. Wen has managed it well."

Sun Lei smiled as he looked at the houses under construction outside the city, many of which had already begun to take shape.

"The population of Liangshan City is increasing rapidly, and the city is likely to expand further this year."

Wen Huanzhang said with a smile.

“The streets should be wider, and this planning needs to have a long-term perspective!”

Sun Lei nodded and said, no matter how big the city is, it doesn't matter. How big of a city has he not seen in future generations?

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tao Zongwang quickly accepted the order. He was responsible for the construction of Liangshan City.

"This battle is too big!"

After walking in, Sun Lei was speechless for a while. Outside the city, there were not only gong and drum troupes, but also dragon and lion dancers, and even a song and dance troupe.

"Your Majesty's triumphant victory will naturally be more grand!"

Wen Huanzhang said with a smile.

Although Sun Lei felt that such a welcome was too shameful, the soldiers enjoyed it very much, especially the singing and dancing teams, which selected beautiful women.

Qi State does not restrict women. Girls can go to school like boys, and adult women can also work in many workshops.

Therefore, women on the whole appear to be very energetic, and the women in these song and dance teams are all smiles without any hint of shyness.

"Mr. Wen, there are hundreds of thousands of passionate men behind me. Aren't you afraid of something happening this whole time?"

Sun Lei was a little speechless. At first he thought there was only one song and dance team, but later he discovered that there were song and dance teams on both sides of the road.

"Your Majesty, what could happen to this? The laws in the army are strict, who dares to mess around with the soldiers? Your Majesty, this is not actually what I want! It was arranged by the Queen!"

Wen Huanzhang whispered.

"Chan'er? Does she still care about this?"

Sun Lei was a little surprised. Hua Chan had a simple and quiet personality and couldn't do this no matter how hard she thought.

"It's those female officials, and the Queen has nothing to do..."

Wen Huanzhang explained in a low voice.

It turned out that as soon as the news of the army's victory and triumph came back, many people started to have their minds set on the victorious soldiers.

Naturally, no one dared to have any bad intentions. They were interested in the status of the soldiers. In this triumph, there will definitely be many people promoted, and the rewards will be extremely generous.

The army is full of bachelors with official positions and money, and these people have a bright future. If they marry their daughters, wouldn't it be a good thing to fly up a branch and become a phoenix? When the State of Qi was first established, this was the fastest time for promotion and class jump.

"So... this is a blind date meeting?"

Sun Lei could hardly control his smiling expression. He never expected to encounter such a situation when he came back. Moreover, he had nothing to say and did not dare to say it.

The two greatest blessings in life are the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and the time of being named on the gold medal list.

The soldiers returned in triumph. This was considered the time when the soldiers were named on the gold medal list. At this time, the soldiers wanted to pursue happiness in life and find their other half, and the emperor had no right to stop them.

Looking at the soldiers with slobbering smiles, Sun Lei shook his head secretly. He could only bless them silently.

"Legislate and protect the soldiers, these guys are a bit simple-minded!"

Sun Lei looked at Pei Xuan and said, he couldn't let his brothers who had been through life and death be used and wronged. (End of chapter)
