I opened the way of earth practice

Chapter 224 Imperial City Division

"According to this list, let Tai Hospital buy as much as you want from all over the mainland." Hao Ren ordered, his excitement still not calming down.

"Your Majesty, although this old slave does not know medical skills, these two herbs are very expensive and the price is not low. I am afraid that the Tai Hospital does not have much money to buy them."

Wei Xiang said it very euphemistically, telling the emperor that he has no money.

Hao Ren was taken aback for a moment, he was not stupid, frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice, "How much money do I have?"

"Your Majesty, for the victory of the national war, the late emperor not only exhausted the national treasury, but also consumed a lot of internal funds. Currently, there are only less than 50 guan left. This is also due to the surplus from previous years." Wei Xiang said.

Due to land mergers, the annual treasury income of the Great Chu Kingdom is getting lower and lower. Last year, it was less than 400 million guan. According to the usual practice, one-twentieth of it belongs to the royal family, which is less than 20 guan.

This part of the money is not just for the emperor's family, but includes the entire royal family.

You must know that the annual expenditure of the entire royal family of the Great Chu Kingdom can reach more than 50 guan.

If tax revenue falls further, we will be unable to make ends meet. This is a very dangerous signal.

"Leave the daily expenses of the palace for three months, and use all the other money to purchase." Hao Ren gritted his teeth and decided.

"Your Majesty, absolutely not. There are still seven months until the next offering. What should we do for the remaining four months." Wei Xiang said while kneeling on the ground to dissuade him.

"This is my order, do you want to resist it?" Hao Ren said coldly, staring at Wei Xiang who was kneeling on the ground.

"Old slave, I dare not, I will do it now." Wei Xiang felt such great pressure from the emperor for the first time.

Sure enough, companions are like companions to tigers. Your Majesty is no longer the prince of the past, but a real dragon.

"Big Companion, you have to trust me, everything I do is for Da Chu, and I know what's in mind, so you don't have to worry." Hao Renenwei said together.

Wei Xiang's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "This old slave knows what to do."

"Well, let's go."

While spending money to purchase medicinal materials, Tai Hospital began to prepare ginseng soup according to Professor Hao Ren's method. There is no industrial conditions here, so it cannot be made into lozenges.

Of course, the ministers knew about such a big movement, but they were all at a loss. They even asked Hao Ren in court, but unfortunately they were all prevaricated.

Folks, the price of relevant medicinal materials has skyrocketed for a while, and there is no way to do it. Rare things are more expensive, and I don’t have so much time to take my time. Fortunately, by the time the news spreads, he has had enough of the medicinal materials in the early stage , stopped the acquisition.

This caused some merchants who wanted to stockpile a lot to suffer a big loss. A large amount of medicinal materials fell into their own hands, and when they wanted to sell, they found that no one took the order.

As a result, except for a few of the more widely used ones, which were indeed scarce, the price dropped only a little, and the rest plummeted.

What they didn't know was that when the price plummeted to a certain level, the merchants couldn't stand it, and when they sold it, Hao Ren accepted it at a low price.

Of course, Hao Ren was not idle during this period. He still went to the court as usual to stabilize the emotions of all parties and temporarily stabilize the court.

Next, there is no doubt that these people became the first people in this world to start practicing.

"Your Majesty, it's really amazing. I have been practicing martial arts for a long time, but the increase in strength has been negligible. Unexpectedly, in just such a short period of time, my strength has skyrocketed. This is really a fairy art." Meng Da, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army Excited.

"Where is this going? As long as you persist in practicing, the Yulin Army will be the number one army in the world in the future, sweeping the world." Hao Ren said confidently and domineeringly.

Then, staring at Meng Da with eyes as deep as the sea, he asked, "Are you willing to help me fulfill my great wish of unifying the world?"

Meng Da suddenly felt his blood boil, rushing straight to his brain, and there was only one voice in his heart: "Assist Your Majesty to rule the world and become a generation of famous generals."

"I would like to be your majesty's pawn, for your majesty to drive, to rule the world for your majesty, and to rule the world."

The generals of the Imperial Forest Army were infected, and they shouted in unison: "I am willing to make a big move for Your Majesty and rule the world."

The sound spread far away, many eunuchs and maids in the palace could not help but pause for a while, their faces changed a bit.

"These bastards dare to be so loud in the palace. They don't want to live anymore. Don't you know this is the palace? No noise is allowed."

"You're looking for death. Didn't you hear what they said? Your Majesty is right there. This is your allegiance to His Majesty. Be careful with your mouth. Don't be caught by someone one day. You won't know how you died." An elderly eunuch reminded.

"Yes, godfather, I see."

"Hey, eventful autumn."

There were also some people who secretly passed on some information. It was impossible for the palace to say that there were no spies from foreign ministers. As long as the air was not leaking everywhere like a sieve, it would be Amitabha.

However, after the Yulin Army trained for a period of time, he planned to change this situation.

In addition to the Imperial Forest Army, Hao Ren also arranged for a hundred loyal young eunuchs, including Wei Xiang, to practice with him. The purpose is self-evident.

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the Royal Forest Army has taken shape. More than 200 people have broken through to the second level of the physical realm, and the rest have all reached the first level of Seven Stars or above. Although the number of people is only [-], but looking at the world, this Absolutely the strongest army.

"Your Majesty, three months have come." Wei Xiang carefully reminded.

What he said in his heart was, Your Majesty, there is no money, and the palace has no money to buy rice for cooking.

During this period of time, he was also cultivating. He knew what His Majesty spent the money for, so he naturally had no objection. As a person who experienced it personally, no one knew better than them how powerful they are now.

"Three months? How time flies. I asked you Dongchang to investigate. How is the investigation going?" Hao Ren asked.

Yes, during these three months, Hao Ren formed two special organizations, one was the East Factory with eunuchs as the main body, and the other was the Imperial City Division formed by mobilizing some elites from the Royal Forest Army and the imperial guards.

"Hey. Your Majesty, the investigation has been clear. These people are too bastards. They are blatant, deceptive, corrupt and dereliction of duty."

"Especially those of their clansmen who oppress the common people, rob the common people's daughters, do all sorts of crimes, they are all loyal and righteous in the court, and they are worse than animals in private." Wei Xiang said indignantly.

Mmp, usually, these sanctimonious guys scold them a lot, and they say as much as they want. Who knows that after this investigation, Wei Xiang's three views have been completely refreshed. There are so many shameless people in the world.

After hearing these reports, Hao Ren was also very angry. They are really a bunch of cancers. He has not touched them all this time, just to make them relax their vigilance, thinking that the emperor is young and easy to bully.

"It's time to close the net." Hao Ren whispered.

When Wei Xiang heard this, he became excited. In fact, when the emperor established Dongchang and asked them to investigate these things, he already had guesses in his heart.

"By the way, have you investigated the situation in the palace?" Hao Ren asked concerned.

Wei Xiang frowned slightly, and replied: "Your Majesty, a total of 476 people were found to have colluded with foreign ministers or committed corruption and dereliction of duty in the palace."

There were so many, Hao Ren was shocked. You must know that there are only more than 4000 people in the Great Chu Palace, which is already more than one-tenth.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Those with less than 20 guans will be warned for petty theft, those with less than [-] guans will be fined with [-] battles, and they will be expelled from the palace, and those with more than [-] guans will be executed."

"Yes, the old slave will do it now." Wei Xiang trembled and swallowed.

"Big companion, have you been with me for more than ten years?" Hao Ren said suddenly.

Wei Xiang was taken aback, why did His Majesty ask this question? Could it be that he knew about my affairs and really wanted to hit me, no matter what, he quickly played his emotional card and said: "Your Majesty, this old slave has served His Majesty since he was three years old. By the way, this old servant is loyal to His Majesty."

"I believe it." Hao Ren nodded. Wei Xiang has no problem with loyalty.

They were all prosperous. Without Hao Ren as the emperor, Wei Xiang would not have known how he would have died.

"However, dear companion, you must remember that the world belongs to me, and nothing can be hidden from me. Only what I reward is yours, you understand." Hao Ren said.

"Your Majesty, this old slave is guilty, and this old slave is ashamed of trusting His Majesty." Wei Xiang said as he knelt down and begged for mercy. His Majesty really knew everything.

"That happened in the past, I don't plan to pursue it, but it will happen again." Before Hao Ren finished speaking, Wei Xiang rushed to the point:
"If you commit the crime again, the old slave will apologise with death."

"Hehe, let's get up together." Hao Ren stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Go and get my affairs done first, and you will be credited with atonement."

"Thank you Your Majesty for your grace, this old slave will go right away." Wei Xiang heaved a sigh of relief and left quickly.

Hao Ren looked at the leaving back, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. He didn't know what the other party was guilty of, but he thought that these eunuchs had some problems with their hands and feet.

"The Chief of the Xuanhuang City Division has come to see me." Hao Ren said to the outside.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

An hour later, a handsome young man wearing a four-clawed python robe and an official hat walked quickly behind an eunuch, walking at a pace of several meters, and soon arrived at the Qianqing Palace. in front of the gate.

"Master, please wait a little while, servant girl to report to His Majesty first." The father-in-law who led the way turned around and said something, then respectfully shouted outside the door:
"Your Majesty, the Chief Secretary is here."

Yes, this is the head of the newly established Imperial City Division, Chu Huaifeng, who is Hao Ren's cousin in his current status, and belongs to the royal family, Wang Jue.

Only with such an identity can he hold the extremely important position of the head of the Imperial City Department, which can gain Hao Ren's trust and deter all officials and Xiaoxiao.
