The little crybaby lost all his vest after being read by the prince.

Chapter 43 Sure enough, it’s hard not to love a man in military uniform.
Emperor Zhaoqing's thunderous methods, in just two days, followed the prisoners to track down all the remnants of the previous dynasty hidden in the court, and then issued a decree and took them all to the entrance of the vegetable market and beheaded them.

Not all relatives of the tribe were executed, but they would not have a good ending. The men were tattooed and sent to the border to build city walls, while the women and children were exiled for three thousand miles and were not allowed to leave the place of exile for life.

As soon as this order was issued, the tense atmosphere in the city immediately dissipated.

Okay, okay, I finally stopped killing people.

While the people breathed a sigh of relief, the officials in the court were busy. Unlike the Ministry of Punishment, the Capital Military and Horse Division, and the Jingzhao Mansion, which complained about working overtime, Lin Yansheng was very excited about working overtime. .

They ransacked their homes every day.

Can you not be excited?

Those farms, shops, gold and silver jewelry, famous paintings and antiques, as well as valuable furniture, silk pieces, etc., all went into the treasury and into the Ministry of Household Affairs. How could he be unhappy?

After typing a few times with the abacus, Lin Yansheng rubbed his hands excitedly, then picked up a pen and wrote a long letter eloquently.

It's for Mu Xichen.

Although the emperor would arrange for someone to inform the prince of what happened in the court, he still wanted to report the good news in person.

Well, yes, that's right.

It’s the Annunciation.

Thanks to the prince's blessing, millions of taels of snowflake silver have entered the treasury. Of course, such a happy event must be shared with His Highness.

When Mu Muchen received the letter, he was already four hundred miles away from the capital.

On the way, bandits were wiped out again and a large amount of money was captured.

Therefore, he understood Lin Yansheng's mood very well, so he wrote a letter in person.

Lin Yansheng almost bulged his eyes when he read the letter.

A small bandit's den actually hid hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!

The treasury had never had so much money before.

After Lin Yansheng walked around the study several times with the letter, he decisively changed into his official robe and entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, since the late emperor unified the country, the imperial court has reduced and reduced many taxes to allow the people to recuperate..."

Emperor Zhaoqing was speechless when he heard that the treasury was empty in a roundabout way. He had just said it before, but now that he had just confiscated so many things, he thought he was stupid when he said that the treasury was empty.

After being ruthlessly exposed by Emperor Zhaoqing, Lin Yansheng did not feel ashamed. He counted on his fingers and began to settle accounts. The southwest border was constantly fighting, so he had to keep enough food and military pay. There was a severe drought in several northern provinces, so he had to prepare sufficient food and disaster relief supplies. Silver bar, then it will be Halloween soon. Fanguo is here to celebrate, so you are not allowed to prepare gifts or anything.

Damn it, he has used up all ten fingers and is not going to stop.

Emperor Zhaoqing raised his hand to interrupt him, "What on earth is Aiqing going to say?"

Don't ask him for money.

His private life is not rich either.

Seeing that Emperor Zhaoqing was impatient, Lin Yansheng hurriedly said, "I heard that His Highness the Prince confiscated a lot of money during the suppression of bandits..."

Hearing what he said, Emperor Zhaoqing was happy, "Ai Qing is quite well informed."

Lin Yansheng chuckled.

His Highness wrote to him personally, so he was certainly well informed.

Seeing him smiling like this, Emperor Zhaoqing felt inexplicably dazzled, "Don't think about it, the prince wants to use those silvers."

Then he told Mu Xichen's plan to use chickens and ducks to prevent the locust plague, "As long as Aiqing knows about it, don't tell anyone about it until this matter is settled."

"Yes, I will never reveal anything."

Those old antiques in the court did not support hunting locusts. If they knew that the prince used this method, he didn't know what he would say. Although it would not affect His Highness, it was annoying after all. Of course, he would not give them such a chance.Mu Xichen only spent half of the money he gained from suppressing bandits, and bought 500 million chickens and 500 million ducks, several times more than he had expected.

【my God!These ducks are too noisy. 】

When the first batch of chickens and ducks arrived, Mu Xichen took people to check it out. Lin Jiaying also made a fuss about going, so he appeared in front of the local officials without caring about his image, holding the white and fat little milk cat.

Magistrate Shen was bewildered.

Lin Jiaying looked at the quacking ducks with interest, "Don't just quack, go find food quickly and let everyone see how capable you are." 】

[Little Brother Prince is really amazing. He actually collected so many chickens and ducks in such a short period of time. Now, locusts can not only prevent the disaster, but also feed these chickens and ducks fat, which can save money. There's a lot of food. 】

"Prefect Shen."

Mu Xichen looked at Shen Qingyan, "Do you understand what Gu said?"

Shen Qingyan immediately came back to his senses and said, "Your Highness understands what he meant. This is why he ordered these chickens and ducks to be driven into the fields."

Mu Xichen hummed, "The chickens and ducks used you to kill the locusts, and they will take them back later..."

He said calmly, "Take a lot of them back."

Hearing what he said, Shen Qingyan immediately expressed his stance that he would let people watch and would never let anyone take advantage of the situation and steal the chickens and ducks.

[The little brother Prince is right, don’t be wary of gentlemen and villains. Although we are here to help everyone, not everyone will be grateful. There are those who love petty gains and will do sneaky things. 】

Facts have proved that Mu Xichen's prediction was correct. Sure enough, someone became greedy after seeing so many chickens and ducks. Ouyang Xiao and Shen Qingyan's people caught more than 20 chicken and duck thieves in one day.

Shen Qingyan was so angry that he ordered the people to be beaten to death and then paraded back and forth in all the counties under his rule so that everyone could see their fate.

To serve as a warning to others.

With the precedent of these people, this kind of thing never happened again.

The chickens and ducks collected from various places were on their way one after another. Mu Xichen arranged for people to go to other prefectures to receive them, while he and Ouyang Xiao continued to suppress the bandits.

【I want to go too, I want to go too! 】

Lin Jiaying jumped up and down, "Sure enough, you can't help but love a man in military uniform. He's so handsome." 】

During the previous suppression of bandits, Mu Xichen either took Lin Jiaying away while she was sleeping, so this was the first time she saw Mu Xichen wearing silver-white armor.

[The great river goes eastward, and the waves are gone, and there are romantic figures throughout the ages.

Therefore, to the west of the rampart, the humanity is, the Three Kingdoms Zhou Lang Chibi.

The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up.

Picturesque, a moment how many hero.

Yao Xiang Gong Jin back then, Xiao Qiao married for the first time, majestic.

Feather fan and silk scarf, while talking and laughing, the oars and oars disappeared into ashes...]

Lin Jiaying was so excited when she saw that Mu Xichen was so handsome and dashing in armor, [The prince's younger brother's handsomeness can only be compared to that of Zhou Gongjin, and I am the beautiful and fragrant Xiao Qiao..., ah, bah bah. Pooh!
Zhou Yu died young at the age of 36. Why are you comparing him to the prince's younger brother? 】

Mu Xichen's eyes flickered.

Who is Zhou Gongjin?

"Your Highness, please leave the little princess to your servant."

Song Ming saw that Lin Jiaying did not hold back in front of so many forbidden troops, and actually jumped up and down on the shoulders of His Highness the Crown Prince. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. His Highness's wise image was about to be ruined by this little ancestor.
