"Greetings to the King of Qin and his co-lord!"

Yue Qing was the first to react, and then he handed it over.

A group of Yue ministers also followed: "I pay homage to His Highness the King of Qin. The King of Qin has unified the world and achieved common dominance!"

Shen Wansan muttered: "King of Qin? You kid, don't you think this is unlucky? Your eldest brother was also the King of Qin and was killed by your father!"

Everyone looked embarrassed when he said this.

Qin Yun said: "This Qin is not that Qin, let alone the Qin of one family and one country. Our great Qin wants to focus on the whole world!"

Shen Wansan didn't say anything, but finally he handed over his hand.

Qin Yun turned around and sat up, but accidentally touched the wound on his buttocks. The pain was heartbreaking, but in order to maintain his dignity, he could only endure it.

"Okay, next thing!"

"During this trip, I discovered that hot air balloons cannot be used as flying weapons. Except for the ten originally planned to be used for reconnaissance, the production of other armed balloons has been suspended."

"Let Tiangongyuan develop the floating airship as soon as possible."

Everyone was confused when they heard it, but they also knew that it was definitely better than a hot air balloon.

"If you have an airship, you need hydrogen. At present, we cannot obtain hydrogen, so we must generate electricity to electrolyze hydrogen."

Shen Wansan understood what he said and was shocked. This guy was indeed the reincarnation of Thunder God. He could even send out electricity. He was awesome. He was really awesome!

Seeing everyone looking at him with admiration, Qin Yun knew that these people must have misunderstood.

"You have to believe in science!"

"I believe you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Yun was speechless for a moment, forget it, how could these elm-headed people make sense.

"Send a steamship to pick up Lu Ban and Zhutie Ridge, and also pick up everyone from the Qiongzhou Palace. From now on, I will be in the Yue Kingdom. When I defeat the Wu Kingdom, I will return to Qiongzhou."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt Qin Yun's determination. This was a good way to boost morale.

But Shen Yue frowned and said, "Then who will take care of Qiongzhou's affairs?"

Qin Yun: "Leave it to Wang Muzhi! In terms of military affairs, Lantian is responsible for you."

Lan Tian said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, I also want to go into battle to kill the enemy."

Qin Yun: "Qiongzhou is our rear area and is very critical. I wouldn't trust it if it were left to others. Besides, there are many of your old friends in Qiongzhou, including the people from Tiejia Village."

"What, you don't want to go?"

"I am willing!"

"That's good! We will set out early tomorrow morning and bring back 10,000 soldiers. Qiongzhou will recruit 50,000 new soldiers and horses under your command."

"promise!"

"Chen Jin."

"The general is here!"

"Zhulong Camp, the next direction is to prevent the stragglers in Tingyulou and ensure the stability of the Yue Kingdom."

"promise!"

Qin Yun looked at Li Qingru again: "I will not interfere in the internal affairs of Yue, but I hope that Yue can learn from Qiongzhou, eliminate a number of official cancers, and kill a number of profiteers. This time you will lead a team to Qiongzhou to study for a month. Bar."

"Master Shen will temporarily take over the functions of Master Li."

Li Qingru paused and looked at the King of Yue.

"The King of Qin has the final say!"

"Wei Chen takes orders."

But the other ministers of the Yue Kingdom were wary of Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. However, the officialdom of the Yue Kingdom had been purged successively and had become much docile, so there was no need for Qin Yun to scare the monkeys.

Qin Yun knew that a strong country was not only strong in its military, but also strong in its internal affairs, diplomacy and economy.

The reason why Yue State was able to resist after losing most of its territory was because of its developed handicrafts, fishery and animal husbandry. In addition, Qin Yun purchased a large amount of coal. Not only did Yue State's economy not collapse, but it also stabilized and improved.

But the big businessmen and landowners in the country have already made secret arrangements to make a fortune in the war, and Qin Yun has no time to chatter and fight with them.

Either honestly integrate into the new internal affairs and economic system according to his ideas, or go down to see the King of Hell!

The next day, Lan Tian led his team to set off, and Chen Jin also led Zhulong Camp to take the list and rush to the Yue minister.

Three days later, a well-known wealthy businessman and landowner from the Yue Kingdom was "invited" to the wartime palace in Beiyin Mountain.

Qin Yun and Yue Qing sat in the first place.

All the wealthy businessmen trembled: "You have paid homage to my king, and my king will live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"

Qin Yun didn't speak, and neither did Yue Qing.

Qin Yun stood up and threw down a sign with the price of rice engraved on it.

"One fight and eight taels!"

"Whose brand is this?"

"It's...it belongs to the grassroots." A bystander climbed up.

"Tell me how much a bucket of rice cost before."

"A dou... a dou of eighty coins!"

The country of Yue has a lot of money, one thousand taels of silver is agreed upon, and it is stable all year round.

Qin Yun sneered: "Eighty grand, you have doubled it a hundred times. Tell me, where is your conscience?"

"Chen Jin, read his crimes!"

"Mi Baqi, the head of the Mi family in Daoshui City, has been in the rice business all year round. Taking advantage of the war, he and the local county government hoarded grain to drive up the price of grain, buying and selling by force. His crimes are heinous!"

"If you don't have money to buy rice, you can mortgage your children and land and make millions of taels in a month..."

Qin Yun waved his hand to interrupt: "No need to read it, cut it off, let the Mi family change the head of the family, and we will talk about when the food price returns to normal!"

"promise!"

"My lord, have mercy on me, have mercy on me!"

"King of Yue, you are the king of Yue. How can you let this outsider do whatever he wants? Bitch, you are destroying the inheritance of our ancestors..."

"Pfft~"

"My lord, chop it off."

"Good chop, next one!"

"Your Majesty, the Yan family knows their mistake. The Yan family should not take the opportunity to drive up the price of salt. The Yan family is willing to give up their illegal gains. No, the Yan family is willing to give up half of their family property. Please be merciful, Your Majesty!"

Qin Yun smiled: "What do you think I am? A bandit? I don't care about your little money?"

"Cut it down!"

"No, Your Majesty, spare my life!"

"Pfft~"

"Okay, next one."

Everyone was lying on the ground, crying for their fathers and mothers: "Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!"

Qin Yun snorted coldly: "Is that all you can say? When you drive up prices, occupy acres of land, and oppress the people, do they ask for mercy from you?"

"Your Majesty, I have realized my mistake, I really have realized my mistake!"

Qin Yun smiled and said: "Really? What's wrong!"

Everyone paused: "This..."

They have been here for generations. If they are not ruthless, how can they keep their home and start a business?

Qin Yun changed the topic: "You are right, I am wrong. I should not be an enemy of this world!"

"But you cannot represent the world!"

"Have you heard about what happened in Qiongzhou?"

Everyone's hearts sank. Ninety-eight out of ten wealthy households in Qiongzhou were killed by the man in front of them.

"Your Majesty, we... we are willing to give up all our property, just to save the lives of our family!"

Qin Yun had a sullen face: "Look, am I a bandit? I am not!"

Everyone's hearts were in their throats, just when they thought they were certain to die.

Qin Yun smiled and said: "However, if I don't accept your kindness, it will appear that I don't give you face and am ignorant!"

"Well, I'm not that harsh. I won't take any of your money, but you have to make up for the taxes you owe over the years. It's not much, only 30% of the annual profits. Is that reasonable?"

Everyone calculated with their elite heads that this is not much, but it is a huge sum of money. After all, everyone has money saved and has business and management.

The key is how many years are these?

"Your Majesty, we are willing to pay the back taxes, but for how many years?"

"Not much, fifty years!"

Everyone's face turned green. Thirty percent a year, fifty years, this is not enough. How can they have so much money?

"Your Majesty, can you use other items as collateral?"

Qin Yun smiled and said: "Of course!"

Someone gritted his teeth and said, "My Pei family is willing to mortgage all their land and pay an additional three million taels in cash."

"Okay, the head of the Pei family is a patriotic man. I will not take this money, but put it all into the national treasury to increase the military pay for the soldiers."

"But the Pei family has lost its land, but does it still have other livelihoods?"

The head of the Pei family was startled, this was the rhythm of killing them all!

But he didn't dare to hide it: "Back to the prince, the Pei family still builds ships, blacksmiths, and fishes!"

Just when the head of the Pei family thought he couldn't keep these properties.

Qin Yun smiled and said: "Very good, I will invest five million taels to develop shipbuilding, blacksmithing and fishery for the Pei family!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone couldn't believe their ears. Instead of robbing, they gave money? What kind of logic is this?

The Pei family was also confused: "Your Majesty, ordinary people don't dare!"

"Hey, I've given you face, why don't you give me face? You have to take the money! Of course, the Pei family must carry out industrial transformation and upgrading in accordance with my requirements."

"How about I own 50% of the shares?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The head of the Pei family kowtowed in thanks with a sullen look on his face.

Qin Yun looked around and saw that everyone was not stupid and immediately followed suit.

Of course, there are also those who want to hide their family property, and Qin Yun also lets them see what the ruthless sword is.

After killing a few dishonest guys, the rest became more honest.

As for why he didn't kill them all, it wasn't because Qin Yun was soft-hearted, but because it was unnecessary!

These families control the economic and people's lifeblood of the Yue Kingdom. What's more, they still have many children in the army. Killing people will not completely solve the problem.

However, the land conflict must be resolved first, and Qin Yun's solution is to take it as state-owned and lease it to ordinary people at very low prices.

It also strictly limits the number of acres of land held by ordinary people. In this way, it can be regarded as a land reform in disguise, and it can also concentrate advantageous land for industrial-scale planting and remove obstacles to industrial development.

A few days later, news of Yue's new policy spread like wildfire, even reaching the ears of Wu in the north.

Wu Wang Wu Zihui was talking eloquently in the court hall.

"This Qin Yun, under the banner of serving the Yue Kingdom, is occupying the land of the Yue Kingdom. I have been on good terms with the Yue Kingdom for many years, how can I be indifferent to him!"

"Send an order to assemble an army of 300,000 men, march south, and destroy the Vietnamese in one fell swoop!"

"Wu Wang Shengming!"
