It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Chapter 45
  There were a lot of stumbling and tugging along the way, but we finally reached our destination smoothly, the southwest border.

The prefect in charge of the southwest border had already been waiting by the roadside.

The southwest border is a general term, with an area roughly equivalent to a current province, and the prefect is equivalent to the official position of a high-ranking official.

In short, no matter whether he was a high-ranking official or a prefect, he first cried when he saw Jiang Simian.

"Your Majesty, you are here~! I was so excited when I found out that you were coming~ I didn't sleep for three days and three nights~! If you don't care about this southwest border, there will be chaos~!"

"Shut your mouth," Jiang Simian said angrily.

The prefect He Maren immediately fell silent and looked at Jiang Simian with his big watery eyes.

"Let's go back to the prefect's mansion first."

When they arrived at the prefect's mansion, He Maren explained the current situation in the entire southwest border.

"Your Majesty, you don't know~! Those wealthy businessmen are so bullying. They just donate a few things and then just take a place on the list and forget about it. The most important thing is that they don't donate. Let others donate. After the leaders of various industries donate to the top of the list, the merchants below will still rely on them to survive and don't care if they donate more than they have. So despite the fact that the list is full of people, in fact, they have not received many donations.

There are also those common people who don’t understand us at all. When they saw that the names on the list were full, they came to us to ask for money and food. I told them that you got it wrong. The names on it were people’s names. , you said they didn’t know how to read and were unreasonable, so you almost gave me a beating.

The most irritating thing is those scholars who just come up with ideas and daydream about them. I tried to talk and talk, but my mouth was dry, but they said they would jointly come to Beijing to join me in the concert. I will die unjustly~! "

"Okay, this guy makes my head hurt when you cry. Did you cry like this before you became a prefect? ​​Stop, I don't want to know anymore. Stop crying!"

"Since I'm here, I will naturally find a way to help you solve the problem." Jiang Simian thought for a moment and said, "In other words, there are three problems now. One is that donations have stagnated, the other is that the people are agitated, and the third is that It’s the scholar who is dissatisfied with the official government, right?”

He Maren clapped his hands several times and said, "Your Majesty is worthy of being the True Dragon Emperor. You have summarized such a complicated situation in the southwest border in just a few sentences. I really admire you."

Jiang Simian's face was speechless. It's better not to flatter me if you flatter me.

Waving his hand, "Okay, don't say any more, let's deal with the first problem first. Isn't it just that the wealthy businessman refuses to donate?"

"If you do this, you spread the news and say that the Holy Emperor has arrived at the southwest border. Tomorrow, he will inscribe plaques according to the rankings on the list. Then, if you do this, send a few people..."

After Jiang Simian explained everything, He Maren's eyes became brighter and brighter as he listened, and now he was truly in a state of admiration.

Soon, the news spread from the prefect's mansion.

Upon hearing that the emperor was about to inscribe a plaque in person, all the wealthy businessmen from the entire southwest border area who had donated money and were listed on the list came to the scene.

Everyone was talking about it.

"Do you want to donate more?"

"Well, the Luo family is the richest man. Who dares to surpass them if they donate to the top of the list? Why don't we look at some small lists?"

"That's right, to be able to receive a single word from the Holy One is because the ancestors smoked."

Luo Youjin, the head of the Luo family known to everyone, came to the scene in person, waiting for the inscription and plaque to be given by the Holy Spirit the next day.

But at this moment, a young man dressed in a gorgeous nobleman's attire came to the scene and said to the entourage around him, "Go and donate our money."

At first, no one took it seriously, but after the banknote was registered, Luo Youjin was knocked off the top spot.

The people of the Luo family hurriedly informed the head of the family. Luo Youjin hurried to the bottom of the list and saw that his name had been changed.

"Who?! Who did it?!"

Luo Youjin was anxious. He was still waiting for the inscription and plaque from the emperor. If he really got the plaque from the emperor, Luo Youjin would dare to tear up the genealogy and start from scratch on his own page.

Seeing that the list will be closed in a few hours, if someone comes to make trouble, can Luo Youjin not be angry? "Boy, are you here to cause trouble?" Luo Youjin said unceremoniously.

"I'm here to make a donation." Unexpectedly, the young man didn't take Luo Youjin seriously at all, and replied arrogantly.

Luo Youjin calmed down and said, "I wonder which family this young master belongs to?"

"Why should I tell you?" the young man said angrily.

Luo Youjin was also angry. Who dared to talk to him like this for so many years? Even the prefect would say polite words to him when he saw him.

"In that case, Luo will say no more." Waving his hand, Luo Youjin asked the servant at home to hand over the banknote.

After counting, we quickly regained the top spot.

The young man smiled disdainfully and donated more tickets.

The two of them went back and forth, and their rankings on the list moved up and down.

"It's understandable that young people are ignorant, but Luo wants to remind you that you still have a long life in the future. Don't offend people you shouldn't offend." Luo was particularly unhappy that he had the money to donate such a large amount of money.

The young man rolled his eyes at him, "You mean you don't have much time left in the future?"

Luo Youjin was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Did he mean this?

In the crowd, disguised Jiang Simian and Yuan Qifeng whispered, "Where did you get this guy? He doesn't talk to you..."

"Nothing?" Yuan Qifeng raised his eyebrows.

“Doesn’t make mistakes easily…The performance is very good.”

"That's right, Yinlongwei products are all high-quality products."

Hidden Dragon Guard? !

Like the legendary Something Factory, Jinyiwei, and Liumen, a special institution dedicated to serving the emperor?
  "This is the sixth child in the Hidden Dragon Guard, his name is..."

Jiang Simian fiercely covered Yuan Qifeng's mouth with one hand, "Don't tell, I don't want to know."

Seeing Jiang Simian's firm face, Yuan Qifeng slapped her hand away angrily and continued reading.

After the young man and Luo Youjin competed for a while, the amount at the top of the list was already very good.

Jiang Simian originally thought that the young man would stop there, but he didn't expect that before either of them gave up, another person would appear to grab his life.

"Why didn't you call me for such a good thing as donating money to the victims, hahaha", an old voice appeared in front of everyone accompanied by a energetic old man.

Hahahahaha, Luo Youjin has no good temper, "Who are you?!"

The old man stroked his beard and said, "I never miss doing good deeds when I pass by, but I never leave my name behind when I do good deeds."

As he spoke, he took out a handful of banknotes from his arms and handed them over. After registering, he successfully joined the three-for-one battle.

Luo Youjin almost wanted to vomit blood. These two people who appeared out of nowhere must be sick. They had pink eye. They couldn't see themselves getting better, right?

Just when he was about to use his identity as a local snake to suppress the two of them, the prefect sent someone.
