Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

"These are nothing," Li You waved his hand and smiled: "Compared to this trivial matter... I have something to talk to you about in the night!"

Chapter 183 Your Highness is too treacherous! (third more)

It was night, and Li You and Nine Snakes were chatting by candles in her boudoir.

This place was not chosen by Li You, but he couldn't bear the kind invitation of Nine Snakes, and as the private room of the master, it was indeed the most secretive.

In fact, the Nine Snakes are also very nervous. After all, the person who has been living in the legend before, is now sitting in front of her alive, and is stronger and more handsome than imagined, it is simply perfect!

Li You didn't know how exaggerated his legends were when they spread to Youzhou.

At least in the version that Nine Snakes heard, there are all kinds of immortals bestowing medicine, immortals giving advice, golden immortals descending to the world, etc...

After thinking about it for a while, Nine Snakes finally couldn't help but ask: "His Royal Highness, if you are the governor of Youzhou... Do you want to exterminate us bandits now?"

As soon as the question was over, the hearts of the nine snakes were raised. This was related to their life and death.

But if His Royal Highness the King of Chu wanted to exterminate them, why would he want to talk to her at night?Could it be that you want to recruit her?

Just as he was thinking about it, Li You already said: "Of course not, why should I destroy you?"

"Isn't that saying that since ancient times officials and thieves have been incompatible?" Nine Snakes wondered, "I also know that in the rumors from the outside world, bandits are rampant around Youzhou, which is not conducive to your governance, right?"

Li You shook his head and said, "That said, even if you have spent a lot of effort to destroy you, then what? Bandits will never be eradicated. Even if the four emperors are temporarily eliminated, there will definitely be four more kings or four emperors in the future. Or the appearance of Qiwuhai or something."

Li You can be very sure of this, because even in the modern age with such a sound and developed legal system, the Heavenly Dynasty still has the impenetrable sky-eye to monitor and detect criminals, but crime cannot be prevented.

If there is light, there will be darkness, which is inevitable. Since it cannot be truly eliminated, what Li You has to do is to minimize the harm!

"I hope that what you do is to control violence with violence! In other words, bandits go to rob bandits!"

Nine Snakes was stunned, this did sound exciting, but it was unheard of before.

"Is this feasible? Do you want to kill all the bandits except us?"

"Of course not," Li You said. "You only need to plunder their food and property, and keep them for other purposes."

Nine snakes were silent for a while, and if the food and wealth were gone, this would be no less cruel than being chased and killed.

"But... even if we are willing to do what His Highness said, the other four emperors will not sit idly by, because our actions have completely destroyed the balance between the four emperors."

"How many people are there in total? Are there only hundreds of people here?" Li You asked in reply.

Nine Snakes froze for a moment and said, "We have more than one den, this is just one of them... There are hundreds of people in total."

Li You nodded and said, "That is to say, the rest of the four emperors are similar. Only a few hundred people are nothing to be afraid of. When the time comes, I will send my subordinate Youguo regiment to support you."

Jiu Snake's eyes lit up when he heard it.

"Could it be that His Highness will send thousands of troops to help us?"

With a cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops meet each other, and the nine snakes feel very imposing just thinking about it.

Li Youshi smiled and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you think. There are only [-] people in the Youguo regiment, and I can't send them all out, so I can only give you about [-] people."

"Ah? What's the use of a hundred people..."

Nine Snakes immediately became disappointed, which made Li You laugh in his heart.

The [-] members of the National Blessing Regiment were carefully selected from the [-] troops of the real army. What is the difference between the [-] members of the bandits? Nine snakes will naturally know when the time comes. .

"But then again, His Highness said that those bandits are still useful. What are they referring to?"

Li You smiled and said, "Of course, let them rob passing merchants."

Nine snakes: "Huh?"

She blinked, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

A prefect of Youzhou, actually openly said that those bandits would rob passing merchants? !

Facing the suspicious eyes of Nine Snakes, Li You explained: "Since the bandits can't be eliminated, then just keep them, and besides robbing bandits, you will sell the business of protecting their safety to passing merchants, as long as The fees are not exaggerated, and there are still many people who are willing to spend money on Ping An.”

"If you want to sell something, you must first have a market." Li You explained in detail, "And those thieves, big and small, can make passing merchants have this demand, then your security Of course the service can be sold.”

……

The nine snakes were dumbfounded the whole time, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.

What the hell!It turned out to be self-produced!

"In this way, it not only ensures that the passing merchants can safely arrive in Youzhou for business, but also establishes a new order in the illegal place, and these bandits are also gone... It's just a lot of things! Your Highness is worthy of being Your Highness, It's really a jerk!"

Jiu Snake's face was full of shocking admiration, but Li You's heart was extremely subtle.

"I said, chicken thief is not a good word, are you really complimenting me?"

"Eh... is it?"

Jiu Snake's complexion turned slightly red, and he corrected: "His Royal Highness is so cunning and cunning!"

Li You: "..."

Seeing this, Nine Snake's face became even redder, and they all stuttered a little anxiously.

"Then, then... Your Highness is too sophisticated!"

Li You sighed and patted Nine Snake's shoulder sympathetically.
