The sky gradually darkened. Squads of Sixteen Guards and Winged Knights galloped through Luoyang Palace on horseback.
The main exits of Luoyang Palace were guarded by people, allowing entry but not exit.
Ziwei City was under martial law. Rows of guns were set up on the city walls, and a string of explosives were set off.
Hot air balloons rose into the air, and torches and kerosene lamps were hung on the city walls.
The officials attending the banquet, including Zhang Shuo, were left behind.
Everyone was' protected 'by two Winged Knights, and their swords were drawn.
Li Longji sat on the dragon throne and slowly sipped his tea. When he saw Li Yi and the others, his expression changed slightly.
"Finished strolling? How is Luoyang's prosperity compared to Chang 'an? "Li Longji asked his eldest daughter with a smile.
"I didn't go too far. I'm afraid that something will happen. I'll go again tomorrow." Princess Yongmu told the truth.
After answering her father, she ordered, "Spread out and serve me, Tang Nengchen."
Her female special operations team searched for people according to their official robes. There were not enough people for those with low ranks.
The officials suddenly realized that His Majesty acted quickly.
Some people were sweating nonstop. They looked around anxiously, but didn't dare to move.
"Your Majesty, this subject …" Zhang Shuo said to Li Longji with a bitter face.
"Daoji, don't be anxious. Henan is not like the capital. There are fewer people patrolling, and the power is intertwined. You don't have many people you can trust."
Li Longji comforted Zhang Shuo, saying that he didn't blame him.
You're the Henan Magistrate, and the soldiers you use are from Henan. You can't control the thoughts of the officers and soldiers.
Luoyang's tax revenue was too lucrative. There would always be people who would think of ways to take risks.
"Xiao Yi, is it safe?" Bi Goo stood not far from Li Yi and asked in a low voice.
They didn't know that His Majesty and Xiao Yi even hid it from them.
"There's no turning back. We can't be lax. The idea was mine, including not telling others. Chaos is born, so words are the order … "
Li Yi shouldered the responsibility of the matter. He did not want to be estranged between the monarch and his subjects.
Bi Goo waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to tell me that if a ruler doesn't keep his secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if a minister doesn't keep his secrets, he will lose his chastity. I'm afraid of making a mistake. "
"Impossible! You dare to rebel? I will personally take action and wipe them all out. "
Li Yi was not worried at all. His fist was big, otherwise, how could the people of the capital government be so obedient?
"A bunch of people will die?" Yao Chong's expression was calm. If he wanted to hide it, then so be it.
Right now, it was not dangerous, the Black Tortoise Gate was the difficult one. That's right, north of Zi Wei City was also the Black Tortoise Gate, could it be that someone would come from there?
As he thought about it, he even began to look forward to seeing if anyone would attempt the Black Tortoise Gate.
With Xiao Yi around, she wanted to see how he harvested the wheat.
"Not dead. His Majesty has just arrived. Let's capture him first before pardoning him. I need people to practice.
The officials were exiled to the south of Henan Province, and they all went there together to be county magistrate, registrar, and deputy county magistrate.
Take out the things that they have embezzled and let them lead the local people to become rich.
If they don't make any political achievements … I need people to work on roads and roads. "
Li Yi told everyone about what happened after that. Some of the officials were used as practice, while others were released.
According to the law, if they did not collude with outsiders to commit treason, they were all low-ranking officials.
"The confiscated wealth … belongs to the Ministry of Revenue?" Bi Goo forgot that he was not trusted and focused on the income.
"Of course! His Majesty has no use for it. "
Li Yi had never intended to take it. After the normal inspection, he handed the money to the Ministry of Revenue and kept the items in the right treasury.
He wanted to sell the items in an auction and exchange them for money. The starting price was low.
If others did not buy it, he would keep it in Zhuangzi as collateral for the currency issue.
If an item was worth 100 liang, the starting price would be 10 liang. After he took it, he would be able to print 80 liang worth of coupons.
"What's the plan for tonight?" Song Jing looked at the sky. The big stars were peeking out.
"Go back to sleep. We have a busy schedule tomorrow. Capture the officials. The administration of Henan Province cannot be stopped. I will participate in it tomorrow."
"I still remember when Xiao Yi replaced the provincial governor in the Huazhou Prefecture." Lu Huaishen sighed.
During the flood in Huazhou, Xiao Yi impeached everyone in the prefecture and he personally went to work.
He organized disaster relief, post-disaster reconstruction, audited accounts, and found new ways to make money for the local people.
It was at that time that they witnessed his ability. Who dared to say that he did not know anything about administration?
There were so many accounts and documents, and he tidied them all up. At the same time, he increased the income of the people of Huazhou by several times.
After the disaster, the lives of the people became better.
"When the time comes, we'll see which aspect is the most difficult to deal with and leave it to Xiao Yi!"
Yao Chong agreed. In any case, Li Yi had nothing to do these days. He could work quickly and efficiently.
"Deal!" Li Yi agreed.
He had a disciple. The little girl took her junior brother to the Imperial Medical Department and asked for help tomorrow.
The two of them were good at accounting and had photographic memories. Where could they find such good labor?
Although they said they were going to sleep, they did not rest. They were excited and waiting for the results.
Outside, the nightlife in Luoyang Palace stopped. The people went home and closed their doors and windows. They were also waiting.
The people of the Sixteenth Guard stood in the square. The kerosene lamps swayed slightly in the wind.
A few children ran in from outside the Shang Shan Square next to Luo River. They were carrying bamboo shrimp cages.
They saw people with weapons huddled together and slowly moved into the square.
"Shang Shan Square?" A person of the Sixteenth Guard tried to make his voice as soft as possible.
"Yes, yes, yes …" The older child, who looked like he was eight or nine years old, shrank his neck. His eyes were filled with fear as he answered with a trembling voice.
The other children could only nod. They were too scared to make a sound.
"Do you have shrimp?" The Sixteenth Guard squatted down.
"Yes ~ Ah ~ Last night, last night, in the morning …" The child tried hard to make himself speak.
The group of children put in shrimp cages last night. In the morning, before going to school, they collected them and put in new shrimp cages.
They sold the shrimp they received, went to school, and came back after school to take a look. If they had any, they would take them home. If not, they would forget about it.
In the end, many of them changed the shrimp cages.
The shrimp they collected should be sold to the restaurant in the square. How were they going to sell them now? The restaurant was closed.
"How much can these shrimp be sold for?" The Sixteenth Guard looked at the shrimp cages and asked.
"Eight, eight coins." The child didn't know what was going on and just answered.
"Here's ten coins. Buy the cages together. Go home."
The Sixteenth Guard dug into his pocket and found ten coins worth of coupons. He also took out six pieces of wrapped fruit candy.
"Take the money. One candy per person." The Non-commissioned Officer handed them over and waved his hand. The people next to him came over to take the shrimp cages.
"You're really paying?" The child's eyes widened even more.
"The Sixteenth Guard is His Majesty's army. If you don't take a needle or a piece of thread from the people, you'll be beaten if you don't pay." The Non-commissioned Officer stuffed the money and candy into the child's hands.
"Not the Winged Knights, right?" The child tilted his head and said.
"The Sixteenth Guard is no worse than the Winged Knights." The Non-commissioned Officer felt wronged.
"Oh, I know, I know. Let's go. "The child was once again sure that he could leave.
"Go quickly. If you don't go, you'll be spanked." The Non-commissioned Officer raised his hand to scare him.
"Run!" The children ran toward the house in a clatter.
"The candy fell. Don't drop it." The Non-commissioned Officer yelled from behind.
The child turned back to pick up the candy. After picking it up, he continued to run, laughing as he ran.
"Who's on patrol? Take it back to Li Dongzhu. Twenty coins for something, reimburse!"
The Non-commissioned Officer looked at the shrimp cages. He was going to make a profit.
"Where's the candy?" the person next to him asked.
"Take the candy yourself. It's for the children. How about the shrimp for thirty coins?" The Non-commissioned Officer raised the price at the last minute.
