reborn as emperor

Chapter 23 23. Princess Guan Jing

The Nine Clans were also slaughtered.

The rest, of course, is to seize all property.Piles of gold and silver treasures were carried out from the prime minister's mansion and piled up into a hill.But at this time Yang Mucheng was unhappy, quite unhappy.It should be noted that the annual tax revenue of the Dagan Kingdom is about 3 taels of silver, and the property confiscated by the Prime Minister's Office is equal to the tax revenue of the entire kingdom for ten years!

"In the previous life on Earth, the largest corrupt official He Shen owned property equivalent to the income of the entire Qing Dynasty for 15 years. At that time, I thought it was just historical exaggeration. Only now do I know how horrible corrupt officials are!" Yang Mucheng gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "Absolutely none of these corrupt officials will be left behind!"

Of course, what makes Yang Mucheng even more angry is that some people are not greedy enough.

Ye Wuheng was counting the supplies seized by everyone, while Ma Ping was secretly checking to see if there was anything stolen.

Pardoning their capital crimes also freed them and gave them rights.Allowing these people to leave [-]% of their wealth is already a heavy reward.If this is the case, there are still people who dare to hide it privately, then Yang Mucheng cannot be blamed for being merciless.

"How many people have dirty hands and feet?" Yang Mucheng asked lightly.

"Nineteen in total. There are three in the imperial guards, and sixteen inmates in the Tianzihao prison." Ma Ping said in a deep voice.

Actually nineteen people!

Yang Mucheng's face darkened, "Call everyone together!"

The prime minister's mansion has become a temporary office.

Although the blood had been washed several times, there was still a strong smell of blood that lingered.The Imperial Guard joined by prisoners has expanded to about 200 people. After several days of training by Ma Ping and Ye Wuheng, they are no longer as undisciplined as before.

Seeing Yang Mucheng approaching slowly, the imperial guards suddenly looked solemn, and looked at the current emperor one after another.

Originally following Yang Mucheng, these people were still reluctant.After all, Prime Minister Huo's power is too great, if you don't take down the opponent at once, you have to wait for the opponent's overwhelming revenge.But who would have thought that it was this young emperor who would kill powerful officials and the nine clans of Prime Minister Huo in one day.Now they all understand that as long as they follow the emperor, they will have endless wealth and rights!
"I said a word back then! It's not useless for you to follow me. I will give you freedom, I will give you rights, and I will give you endless money... And what you do is, no matter what, You must follow my orders, otherwise there is only a dead end!"

Glancing at everyone, Yang Mucheng said indifferently: "I told you when the seizure was made. You must hand over [-]% of the spoils you get, and you can keep the remaining [-]%. But some people are not greedy enough to swallow elephants. You violated my order. If that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel!"

boom! boom! boom!
As soon as the words fell, the imperial guards who had intercepted the items without permission all looked horrified, and they all knelt down on the ground and shouted:

"My lord, spare me!"

"My lord, please spare me! We have never seen so many treasures before, and I am not greedy for a while, please spare me!"

"The Holy Majesty gave us a chance to serve our crimes and make meritorious deeds!"

opportunity?

Yang Mucheng shook his head, what is the emperor, what is the emperor?What you want is to keep your word and say it well.You want to kill them today, because you let them go because you are soft-hearted, and these people will commit crimes again in the future.And other people will also have a fluke mentality, so wouldn't it be a mess?
"Kill!" Yang Mucheng said flatly.

Ye Wuheng waved his hand, and all nineteen heads fell to the ground.

At this time, the rest of the imperial guards felt a chill in their hearts, secretly thinking that it was dangerous.When they searched Prime Minister Huo's belongings earlier, they were almost tempted, but fortunately they thought of Yang Mucheng's method in time, and forcibly suppressed the greed in their hearts.

So what if there is more money?
If you have money, you have to have life to spend!
Yang Mucheng directly absorbed the qi, blood and essence of these nineteen inner strength warriors, and shook his head secretly. "If you want to complete your inner strength and want to go one step further, to reach the master of inner strength, you need a huge amount of energy, blood and essence... How many people will I have to kill to make my cultivation level reach the master of inner strength?"

Seeing the fearful eyes of the imperial guards, Yang Mucheng nodded in satisfaction. "This killing of chickens and monkeys has finally worked. You can only make sure that the people around you are not corrupt, so that people in the whole country will not be corrupt. In this way, the country will be rich and the people strong in a short time. But still Not enough, the next step is to vigorously develop the army, otherwise, in this troubled world, if a large army comes, you will have no soldiers to use, and you can only be the king of subjugation."

Just when Yang Mucheng was about to have the body dragged out and burned, Ye Wuheng hurried over and whispered something.

Oh?
Yang Mucheng, who originally planned to return to the palace, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that at this juncture, the envoys from Silla came, nodded slightly, and said, "Let them come to see me!"

Arriving at the main hall of the prime minister's mansion, before Yang Mucheng warmed up the bench, an old man and a young man walked slowly outside the hall.

The old and the young were none other than Zhang Waishi and the eldest princess Guan Jing who were watching the excitement outside the prime minister's mansion.At this time, Zhang Waishi looked at Yang Mucheng with a complicated face. It should be noted that he didn't pay attention to the emperor at all from the beginning, so he brought Guan Jing directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion.But who knows, I saw such a scene.

"It turned out to be Zhang Waishi from Silla Kingdom. Why did you come to see me?" Yang Mucheng looked at him condescendingly.

"I have seen Your Majesty!" Zhang Waishi respectfully made a prostrational salute, and then said: "We are here this time for the purpose of forming an alliance between the two countries. Koryo is growing stronger and full of ambitions. It is leading the army Hundreds of thousands of people are ready to attack our country of Silla. Therefore, I would like to implore Your Majesty to send troops, and we will join forces to defeat Korea."

Leading an army of 60, although this number does not sound like a lot, it is actually quite a large number for small countries such as the Daegan Kingdom, Koryo, and Silla.This era is not like the earth in Yang Mucheng's previous life, where famines, floods, and insect plagues often occur... Except for some warriors, ordinary people can live to be considered long-lived if they can live to [-] years old.

And they are all going to war, who will farm and who will open up wasteland? One out of 100 people joins the army, which is already a considerable burden on the country's food and finances.

For example, the Silla Kingdom can only have an army of [-] at most.The Dagan Kingdom is even worse, only able to produce about [-] troops.Of course, those eighth-tier and seventh-tier big countries are naturally not within this range.

"Oh? Send troops to fight? This is easy to say, but what's the benefit?" Yang Mucheng asked lightly.

"Our Xinluo is willing to marry the eldest princess to you? From then on, Dagan and Xinluo are one family!" Zhang Waishi said quickly, and winked at Guan Jing beside him.As the eldest princess, Guan Jing naturally knew the truth, so she hurriedly stepped forward and said politely, "Guan Jing has seen Your Majesty!"

Guan Jing is the number one beauty in Silla.Familiarity with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is even more mastery of the law of governing the country.However, she is a woman of the generation, not qualified to inherit the throne, so she can only be a victim in the officialdom.

If she was asked to marry someone else, Guan Jing might not be willing.But she had seen Yang Mucheng's methods before, he was not as unlearned and incompetent as those dandies in Silla, and he was also a master of inner strength, so she had secretly fallen in love with him long ago.

Guan Jing is also very confident about her appearance, she believes that Yang Mucheng will definitely agree.

But Yang Mucheng traveled from the earth, what kind of beauty has he never seen?He glanced at Guan Jing lightly, and said with a sneer, "Just kidding, a woman just wants me to send an army and let my people shed their blood. Do you think it's possible?"
