Signing in to Datang: Rebellion at the beginning

Chapter 161 Investigating Corruption
So Li Ke stepped down the steps for her and said:
"It's possible, but it's troublesome."

"It doesn't matter, I just want to enter the palace as a palace maid and serve His Majesty the great Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom," the woman said.

Both of them are playing here, but Li Ke has already seen through the woman.

So Li Ke said:
"It's not impossible to be a court lady next to the emperor, but you have to stand the test.

How about this, these few days, you will be my maid first, if you serve people well, I recommend you to go to the palace. "

When the woman heard this, it was really great, she didn't need to spend any more time, and immediately followed the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom.

At the same time, I was still thinking, the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom is really a fool. I am a spy, and it is so easy to get close to him, I don't know...

As everyone knows, the clown is himself...

Both of them had a plan, and Li Ke immediately asked the woman:

"What's your name?"

The woman immediately replied:
"My name is Lan Xin'er, I'm from..."

Having said that, she paused for a moment, almost revealing that she was from the Daughter Country.

So he hastened to say:

"I'm from a frontier town in Dragon Kingdom!"

Li Ke pretended to believe it, nodded and said:

"All right!"

So I didn't say any more, but turned around in the capital.

In fact, this trip out of the palace is not complete, because I want to see what people in this daughter country want to do.

On the other hand, he also intends to investigate some of the recent exports of coal and salt and sugar and steel.

After all, these things matter.

And during this time, they continued to cooperate with countless countries around them.Li Ke is very worried that there will be corruption in these things.

After all, no matter how powerful a country is, no matter how strict a court's system is, the existence of corrupt officials is absolutely indispensable.

Even in the modern society where network technology is so advanced, it still cannot stop the greedy heart of corrupt officials.

What's more, in this ancient society!

Although the various financial reports Li Ke received were all very normal, and there was nothing wrong with them.

But Li Ke didn't believe it, there was really no problem here.

After all, whether it is salt and sugar or steel or coal, they all represent huge amounts of money.

It is difficult for the officials in charge of these to resist the temptation.

Even if there is only a little corruption, the amount must be huge.

The reason for avoiding corruption is because no matter whether it is salt, steel or coal sugar, these things are all made by the people of Long Kingdom with hard work.

Therefore, the profits generated here must not be embezzled by others.

After Lan Xin'er followed Li Ke around the capital, she couldn't help but ask Li Ke:
"Where are you going? Why are you wandering around aimlessly?"

Li Ke heard the words and said:
"I am following the order of His Majesty the Emperor to investigate some matters."

Lan Xin'er immediately became interested and said:

"What are you looking for?"

Li Ke said: "Check it out. Regarding the recent business with various countries, after all, these are huge amounts, and they must be strictly supervised."

Lan Xin'er nodded slightly, at the same time contemptuously in her heart, thinking:
This kind of thing requires you, an emperor, to come out and investigate in person?Dragon Kingdom, it seems, is nothing more than that.

But she didn't know that this was Li Ke's intention.

For some things, it is difficult for him, the emperor, to know the truth without investigating it himself.

Throughout history, no matter how powerful the emperors were, no matter what methods these emperors used to set up any departments to supervise the officials.

It is impossible to properly supervise every official.

Li Ke couldn't do it either.

But he's done well enough.

However, even in this case, he still doubts the existence of corrupt officials.

So no matter who he sends or what department he forms, it will be very difficult to find out these deeply hidden corrupt officials.

After all, the Tao is one foot tall, and the devil is one foot tall.

Some things, if Li Ke does not do it himself, it is really difficult to solve the problem.

Li Ke thought so in his heart!

Lan Xin'er also had her own thoughts in her heart.

She thought to herself: If Li Ke actually went to investigate these things in person, he would definitely come into contact with steel, fine salt, crystal sugar, coal and so on.

So in her view, this happened to be an opportunity, and also an opportunity to get close to these things.

In this way, you will be able to peek into the top technology of Dragon Kingdom!
Thinking of this, she seemed to regard Li Ke as a fool who was being used.

Li Ke didn't care what she thought.

After walking around the capital, he first decided to check the problem of salt first.

Salt is already a very common price in the Dragon Kingdom.

While it is indispensable in the lives of ordinary people, it does not seem so precious.

However, the salt exported to various countries is slightly more expensive than the price of ordinary people.

Even so, selling to other countries is still cheap enough for the people of these countries.

The profits here are huge. From ancient times to the present, the profits generated by even poor-quality coarse salt are unimaginable.
