Chapter 2201 Great Harvest
Life-saving money. When Pei Ziyu and the others heard Li Shen's words, they were stunned.
They can understand that they need to make arrangements for things above and below them, and it is also normal to smooth over relationships.
But listen to what you are saying?
He actually said that he would use money to sell Your Majesty and make Your Majesty do things.
You really have connections all over the world. There is no higher way than this.
Although they secretly complained in their hearts, they dared not show it on the surface.
They both bowed and saluted:
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness Prince Ji. We are grateful."
"If you want to thank someone, thank the prince. If it weren't for the prince's care, you two wouldn't be alive today."
Li Shen waved his hand, lay back in the rocking chair, fanning himself with a folding fan, and looked relaxed and contented.
"Yes, we will certainly be grateful to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. By the way, Your Royal Highness Prince Ji, this is the letter that Your Highness left at the Governor's Mansion."
At this point, Pei Ziyu took out the prince's letter from his sleeve pocket and presented it with both hands.
Li Shen turned his head to glance at the letter, then looked at Wang Xuance with a smile in his eyes.
What I mean is, you see, I told you not to worry, and now it’s back, right?
Wang Xuance immediately stepped forward and took it.
"Pei Ziyu, I have one more question to ask you, and I hope you will answer truthfully." Li Shen was lying there and suddenly thought of the rebels.
"Don't worry, Your Highness Prince Ji. I will tell you everything I know." Pei Ziyu saluted.
"Okay, I'm asking you, do you know who is providing weapons to the rebels?"
Li Shen looked at Pei Ziyu and replied seriously.
"Providing weapons to the rebels? I have heard of this before. Your Highness, do you mean that someone sold weapons and equipment to the rebels?"
When Pei Ziyu heard Li Shen's question, he was obviously stunned, as if he heard it for the first time.
Li Shen looked at General Li again. Pei Ziyu was a civil servant, so it was understandable that he didn't know.
"What about you?"
“Your Highness, I have never heard of this either, but since Your Highness has mentioned it, it must be true.
I will investigate it myself after I return." General Li saluted and replied.
“Well, when you go back, take a good look at the military and the consumption of weapons allocated to you by the Ministry of War in recent years.
You seldom train on weekdays, so I don't need to tell you how much it consumes, you already know it.
You must find out for me who is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason. No matter who it is, they must be severely punished.
After you find out, you must report it to me, and I will personally review it."
Li Shen's face was calm. He didn't hate rebels, he only hated traitors.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will investigate thoroughly and give you an explanation.
However, Xizhou Prefecture is only an important town in Anxi. There are other places. Could it be that other towns were sold to the rebels?"
General Li first accepted the order and then expressed his doubts.
Li Shen waved his hand:
“I will naturally have people investigate other places. Just investigate your territory. If you can figure it out, it will be a great achievement.
But if I find out that it was you, the Xizhou Prefecture, who were behind this, and you, as the Xizhou Prefecture Sima, are to blame, I will punish you as an accomplice."
"Yes."
After hearing this, General Li immediately obeyed the order and was frightened by Li Shen's crime of complicity. What is the difference between complicity in treason and treason? Both are capital crimes.
"Okay, you guys go back, I won't reveal this to anyone, you don't have to worry.
After you go back, you must manage Xizhou Prefecture well and don’t let me down.
Since you have caught the prince's eye, I don't need to explain what this means. I hope you can seize the opportunity.
The prince is in need of people right now. How far you two can go depends on your abilities.
This king really hopes that you can have a place in Chang'an City, and I hope you will take good care of yourselves.
Go back and accept your punishment."
After Li Shen finished speaking, he ignored the two of them and began to close his eyes and rest.
"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji, for the tip."
The two men immediately bowed again and quietly withdrew. They still had to receive forty lashes of lash.
After the two left, Li Shen opened his eyes:
"Xuan Ce, do you have any treasures?"
He knew that each person had hundreds of thousands of strings of coins, and it was impossible that all of them were copper coins. How many carriages would be needed to carry them?
There must be valuable items being used as collateral.
Often, this is when Li Shen makes a big profit, and the treasure appraisal will definitely be underestimated, it is impossible to overestimate it.
Otherwise Li Shen would not agree.
Therefore, the actual prices of these goods will be much higher.
"Your Highness, these are all gold, agate, gemstones, jade, and a lot of porcelain and silk.
There are some jewelry and so on in the Western Regions, but nothing outstanding.”
Wang Xuance replied that he was also a man who had seen the world. What kind of treasures had he not seen following King Ji?
So naturally my vision is high, and in fact, these are all rare treasures.
Li Shen was a little disappointed when he heard that there were no treasures, but he was soon relieved. There were no such treasures.
Your protagonist's halo is already very strong, and it is impossible to trigger the luck value and pick up treasures every time.
"Forget about it, how much money did we get this time?"
“Your Majesty, the previous amount was over 1.3 million guan, and with the addition of 200,000 guan this time, it will be over 1.5 million guan.
There is also the two thousand strings of cash each of them gave me, a total of one hundred and twenty thousand strings of cash.
A total of more than 1.6 million strings of cash, this time we have made a great harvest."
Wang Xuance even sighed that the harvest this time was so great, and it would be great if he could do it twice a year.
“It’s not just big, it’s fruitful.
Don't worry, I am not a stingy person. I will give you 20,000 strings of cash as a reward for your success in this mission."
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji, for your gift."
Who would complain about having too much money? Wang Xuance, who received the reward, was no exception and bowed to express his gratitude.
He became an official just to stand out and bring honor to his family, but the ultimate goal was wealth and glory.
Wang Xuance had no complaints about the fact that Prince Ji only gave him 20,000 strings of cash.
The 120,000 strings of cash were originally a plan that Prince Ji had thought of, and they were not real bribes to him.
Accepting bribes privately is punishable by death.
"Okay, now that we have finished our work, you should get ready to follow me. I will leave this to Pei Ziyu and the others.
After this incident, they dare not neglect it. " Li Shen nodded.
"Yes, I will go to take over tomorrow."
He had been in charge for so many days, and many things needed to be handed over to Pei Ziyu and others.
"To be on the safe side, I have to take the 10,000 soldiers in the city with me.
It's time to let them go out and exercise, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
Just take them to the border."
Li Shen thought about it and decided to take the 10,000 palace soldiers with him. They were transferred from other places by his father to protect him.
They have been staying in the military camp all along, and were not used even when going out to suppress the rebels.
Because Li Shen didn't know when he would need it.
