After Wang Muzhi left, Qin Yun sat on a chair and looked at the long white clouds outside the window.
Everyone in the world thinks that when you become a prince, the emperor enjoys glory and wealth. But when you get to this point, you realize that rights and obligations are equal.
At the very least, when Qin Yun saw those children carving out flesh and eating each other to survive, his heart felt as if he had been stabbed hard by a knife.
He is the king of Qiongzhou. He thinks that he has made great reforms and made Qiongzhou mansion clean and tidy. But he seemed to have ignored many issues.
He came to Qiongzhou and killed a group of corrupt officials, but he did not change the fact that the lower class people were suffering.
Killing can only solve a problem temporarily, but not forever.
Qin Yun rubbed his head when Liu Guanguan walked in with a bowl of tea.
"My lord, I've encountered something troublesome!"
Qin Yun shook his head: "What are you doing recently?"
Liu Guanguan smiled and said: "Of course I will help the prince take care of the previous salt factory and sugar factory."
Qin Yun muttered: "Guanguan, do you know how many homeless children there are in Qiongzhou?"
Liu Guanguan paused: "Your Majesty, I want to talk about those orphans who have no one to rely on."
Qin Yun nodded: "I have an idea, and I hope to get your support."
"The prince is joking. Whatever the prince tells me to do, I will do whatever I want."
Qin Yundao: "Can some of the proceeds from the sugar and salt factories be used as social welfare projects to give these children a home?"
Liu Guanguan's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, this is of course a good thing to benefit the people. How could Guan Guan not support it? Guan Guan has lost his father since he was a child, so he knows their suffering even more."
"It's just, Your Majesty, now Qiongzhou is in dire need of development. The sugar factory and salt factory are the only places that can provide financial resources. How much profit will Your Majesty make?"
Qin Yun: "We will initially allocate 200,000 taels each year, and then increase it year by year. I will leave this matter to you. I have already thought of a name, and it will be called Love Social Welfare Institute."
"By the way, aren't these wealthy businessmen from Qiongzhou going to give me gifts? From now on, all comers will be thrown into the orphanage without rejecting them!"
Liu Guanguan chuckled: "Your Majesty, they give gifts in the hope of gaining His favor. It's not good to just receive gifts without doing anything!"
Qin Yun snorted coldly: "I've given them face by not hanging them on the street lamp. I'm very poor now, don't force me!"
"What is a street light?"
Qin Yun restrained his murderous aura and said with a smile: "Something that can glow at night. Maybe we can make it when the industry upgrades in the future."
Liu Guanguan chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you have been quite angry recently. I want you to rub your head."
Qin Yun grabbed Liu Guanguan's catkins and said, "You handle the most affairs in the palace, so you have to work hard!"
Liu Guanguan had a sly look in his eyes: "Then the prince should come more often to accompany the slave family. I heard that sister Zi Yan is pregnant, but is it true?"
Qin Yun looked embarrassed: "Of course it's a lie. It's just to frustrate the court."
Liu Guanguan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Majesty is really..."
Qin Yun hugged him: "Why, do you want to give birth to a fat boy for me?"
Liu Guanguan's pretty face turned red: "Your Majesty, during the day..."
Qin Yun: "What are you afraid of? Take advantage of the fact that there is no one around now."
As he spoke, Qin Yun picked up Liu Guanguan and prepared to relax his body and mind, but at this moment, Yang Yong knocked on the door.
"Your Majesty, I have sent the people to the academy according to your instructions. Beauty Zhou will take care of them personally."
Qin Yun paused, but he didn't expect that Zhou Mei Niang would actually do something practical this week.
He said "Oh": "I got it, back off!"
"No, my lord, even though I am humbled by my position, I also want to see the sea."
Qin Yun said impatiently: "Go, go!"
Qin Yun is not worried at all that Wang Menghu can't catch anyone. If the grand master really can't catch him, he might as well commit suicide and feed the fish.
Qin Yun closed the door with his foot, and Liu Guanguan sounded a bell.
"Your Majesty..."
…
At sea, Wang Menghu, Liu Yulin, Bai Zhanpeng, and Bai Feiyang disguised themselves as fishing boats and rowed slowly toward the sea where pirates appeared.
Wang Menghu took a telescope and looked at it: "These thieves are actually fishing, and they don't take me seriously at all."
Liu Yulin smiled and said: "Maybe they didn't notice us. After all, not everyone has such a rare thing as a telescope."
Wang Menghu said: "That's right. The Shenlong Ship is still being refitted this time. Let's get a ship back by the way. I heard that the government has run out of money recently."
Liu Yulin was stunned: "You don't want to rob someone, do you?"
Wang Menghu said: "He is only allowed to pirate and rob people, but we are not allowed to rob pirates? If I remember correctly, there is a fixed trade route to Luzon a hundred miles south, and Fuso ships often pass there."
Bai Zhanpeng said: "Robbing him, I had a fight with the Japanese back then, and my father was also injured by the Fusang people."
Bai Feiyang: "I said, Third Uncle, don't squeeze me. If you squeeze me again, I will fall into the sea."
"You brat, who asked you to follow me?" Bai Zhanpeng snorted coldly.
Bai Feiyang said: "Hey, third uncle, we are all battalion commanders. There are no uncles or nephews in the military camp. If you squeeze me again, I will go back and let my wife beat you!"
Bai Zhanpeng paused, Zhao Xiaoxiao was his junior sister in name, this generational hierarchy was quite confusing.
Wang Menghu said: "Stop arguing, quickly pretend to be a fishing boat and move over."
"Okay, let's paddle together!"
Not long after, the people on the pirate ship discovered the fishing boat.
"Master Zhou has a boat!"
On the boat, Qianyu was waiting for the night to fall. This time he came to see Qin Yun with a letter from the boss.
I just didn't expect to encounter fishing boats at this time. Logically speaking, this is not a fishing ground.
But he didn't think much about it. It was far enough away from Qiongzhou Island and he didn't believe that anyone with such good eyes would see them.
"Ignore them and pretend that the merchant ship is anchored here to take shelter from the wind."
"Yes, the boss!"
Soon, Wang Menghu and others approached.
Wang Menghu waved the oar: "Hey, fellow, our boat ran aground and leaked. Can you pull us aboard?"
When Zhou Qianyu heard this, he went up to the deck to take a look.
There were five or six people in the group, one was an old fisherman, and they seemed to be part of a family.
"Head of the family, do you care?"
A first mate said: "The business that is brought to you will not be done in vain unless it is done."
Zhou Qianyu knew the moral character of these men, and they all became pirates. Who still has a conscience?
Zhou Qianyu muttered: "Just take the property, don't hurt your life!"
"Yes~"
Everyone said weakly, as if they didn't have the strength to kill people. They had already scolded the scholar in their hearts.
However, the boss valued him, and the scholar did have some abilities. Every time he took them out to sea, they always came back with great results, and everyone had nothing to say.
Not long after, a pirate enthusiastically lowered the basket.
"Come up, everyone, and bring all your belongings!"
Wang Menghu and everyone looked at each other, but smiled and said nothing.
Not long after, several people boarded the boat one after another.
At this time, the first mate rushed out with a knife: "Everyone, you are out of luck today. Our master is kind-hearted and spares your life and hands over the valuables."
Wang Menghu shook his clothes, revealing his strong muscles.
The old fisherman who was dying suddenly turned into a strong old man. This change shocked the bandits.
Bai Feiyang and others also showed their weapons one after another. Liu Yulin used a sword. Although he was weak, he was a solid Confucian general.
"Who are you?"
The first mate swallows.
Wang Menghu grinned: "Catch your people!"
"superior!"
The first mate directed his men to step forward, but he shrank back. However, the next moment he only felt a black shadow in front of him, and then his vision went black and he fainted. When they woke up again, the 70 or 80 people on the ship were already there. Tied to the deck.
Zhou Qianyu is so angry, they are a bunch of trash, and they are a bunch of trash with no eyesight.
Is this guy called a fisherman?
Wang Menghu said: "From now on, you are being captured!"
"White is flying, Yang Fan is setting sail!"
Bai Feiyang stepped forward to pull the sail, and suddenly a cannonball flew from a distance.
And it was accompanied by a loudspeaker shouting.
"People on the ship, listen, you have been surrounded, surrender!"
Bai Feiyang was unlucky and got a black face from the aftermath of the shell.
He climbed onto the mast, looked through a telescope, and found Yang Yong standing on the deck holding a loudspeaker and shouting.
"grass!"
"It's the boy named Yang."
Wang Menghu said with a dark face: "If you blow up my ship, I will twist him into a mess!"
On the other side, Yang Yong drove a half-modified ship in Zhutieling, but he didn't reply when he saw the other party.
"Master Caster, you can test the new cannon, the one with sugar in the projectiles."
Zhutie Ling was very excited: "Okay!"
"Boom~~"
Wang Menghu and others' faces turned darker.
"Quick, go down and stop that kid personally!"
"Shout!"
"No, use the semaphore and don't let him fire."
At this time, Bai Feiyang reacted and took out the signal gun in his arms.
"Bang~"
Yang Yong was having fun when the deputy on the side said: "Commander, that's not right, he seems to be one of ours!"
Yang Yong was shocked: "Damn..."
"Run!"
…
In Prince Liang's Mansion, Qin Yun laughed as he looked at Bai Feiyang who was blown into a chicken coop.
Yang Yong on the side was tied and kneeling on the ground, with a look of aggrievement on his face.
Bai Zhanpeng, Liu Yulin, and Bai Feiyang shouted: "Your Majesty, this guy must be killed!"
Qin Yun said: "Okay, okay, this time it is a wake-up call for you. Guns have no eyes, so be more careful in the future."
"Yang Yong, do you realize your mistake?"
"I know my mistake in my humble position!"
"Let's do this. I'll fine you half a year's salary and compensate you a few bucks."
Bai Feiyang gritted his teeth: "No, my lord, don't you need a eunuch in charge? Castrate him!"
Yang Yong subconsciously covered his face, and Qin Yun said: "Okay, my brother, don't come and admit your mistake to Bai Feiyang."
Yang Yong knew it was unreasonable and said: "Brother Bai, I was wrong!"
Bai Feiyang snorted, and finally Wang Menghu stood up.
"Forget it, spare this kid, the first shot will miss!"
"By the way, there is someone who has been clamoring to see the prince."
"who?"
"He said he is the sixth master of the One-Eyed Alliance."
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes: "It's interesting, let him come in."
