"Master, there is no punishment or reward for mission failure!"
"You can redeem the mission time in the system mall. Each one-year extension of the mission time will cost 100,000 reputation points!"
Hearing the system prompt, Ning Fan also had a look of surprise on his face. The mission time limit can be extended?
However, is it really worth it for a one-year time limit and 100,000 reputation points directly?
Ning Fan clicked on the page of the system mall. Now, after taking root in Huainan for half a year, he still has more than 300,000 reputation points left. He can redeem three troop summoning cards to extend the one-year time limit. Is it really worth it?
value!
Not to mention the Nine Dragons Sutra of Creation and a thousand points of merit points in the system rewards, the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms alone are worth it, not to mention, there are four major...
"System, spend 100,000 reputation points to extend the [Seize the Inheritance] mission time limit!"
"Congratulations, master, the extension is successful!"
Ning Fan saw that the reputation value of 300,000 yuan had been reduced by one-third, and he couldn't help but feel a little pain. He clicked on the R&D room. This was one of the functions after the system upgrade, but Ning Fan had never used it.
"System, does it meet the development conditions of Tang Dao?"
"It has been detected that the host has a refined iron purification process. The development conditions have been met. The required reputation value is 50,000. It takes seven days. Do you want to proceed with the development?"
"Develop!"
After Ning Fan confirmed the development, his reputation value was reduced by 50,000 again, but rays of light appeared in the scientific research room, converging towards the center, and a countdown appeared.
"It's so cool to cheat!"
Ning Fan couldn't help but sigh. It is no exaggeration to say that Tang Dao can be called the pinnacle craftsmanship of the cold weapon era. It may be a bit exaggerated to cut iron like clay, but if it is successfully developed, the combat effectiveness of the army can be increased by at least half!
After shutting down the system, Ning Fan made a thorough decision on the strategy to expand the army. After all, the mission rewards were so generous. He had already met the condition of three million grain reserves, and the people's livelihood in Huainan had also improved significantly in the past six months.
Under the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce, trade in the three counties of Huainan was extremely frequent, and the trade routes were smooth. Moreover, with the suppression of the soldiers from various places, most of the bandits returned to the food supply, and even those who did not return the food supply started to work as bodyguards. As long as the passing caravan gives enough money, it will be escorted to a safe journey!
However, if the bandits dare to cross the line, rob the mountain troops, or even kill people and set fires, the local governments will not tolerate them and will destroy them no matter how high the price is.
Nowadays, the three counties of Huainan are governed by Su Shi, Du Fu and Xin Qiji. With the talents of these three people and the general guidance of Ning Fan, the local officialdom is also flourishing and magnificent.
It can be said that even if Ning Fan is no longer present in Huainan, within three to five years, it will surely be richest in the world and its people will be rich... Huainan will be strong!

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Yu looked calm after receiving the secret letter from Jiangbei, but Wei Ying on the side could clearly feel that there was a frightening chill in the entire palace.
"Wei Ying, look at the information sent by Jin Yiwei!"
"I don't dare!"
Wei Ying lowered her head and looked at the secret book handed over by Emperor Yu. She quickly lowered her head with fear on her face. The old eunuch had been in the palace for many years and never dared to go beyond it.
Emperor Yu took the opportunity to take it back and said calmly: "Let Zheng Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Ji Sui, the Minister of the Ministry of War, come to see me."
"According to the order!"
Not long after, the two ministers hurried in and saw Emperor Yu sitting at the head with an angry look on his face. They couldn't help showing a look of panic.
"My lord, Ji Sui is here to see His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, Zheng Xuan, see you!"
"Zheng Aiqing, who is in charge of the official evaluation in Jiangbei in the past two years?"
"Your Majesty, naturally our staff department is responsible for this matter, and Cheng Zhong, the left servant, is in charge."
"Um!"
"Just take a look!"
Emperor Yu directly threw the zhezi in Jin Yiwei's hand towards the ground. Zheng Xuan's expression suddenly changed slightly, and he picked up the zhezi with a look of fear, his face suddenly dripping with cold sweat!
"Your Majesty, I have committed a crime of neglect and deserve death!"
"snort!"
Emperor Yu snorted angrily and angrily said: "The officials from the two counties submit excellent assessment documents every year, but they are still living in a fish and meat village, colluding with aristocratic families!"
"Eating from my imperial court's salary, acting as a slave to other people's family!"
"Such unfaithful and unjust people deserve death!"
The more Emperor Yu talked about it, the angrier he became, and in the end he actually started to protest directly. Zheng Xuan's face was livid and he had a look of annoyance on his face.
"You are guilty of negligence and will be fined for one year. If it happens again, I will take off your official hat!"
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"
"The left minister of the Ministry of Personnel engaged in favoritism and malpractice, opposed the imperial court, protected corrupt officials, and failed in assessment. From now on, he will be removed from his official position. The Ministry of Punishment will join forces with Dali Temple to investigate and punish him severely in accordance with the law!"
"According to my decree, Zhuge Liang is promoted to the governor of Qilin County. He will go to the capital from now on and serve as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The governor of Qilin County will be temporarily replaced by Wei Zheng!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
When Zheng Xuan heard this, his expression suddenly changed. No wonder His Majesty punished him so lightly. It turned out that he was planning to move his staff.
But this Zhuge Liang is from King Yong!
"This matter is of great importance. Do you want to discuss it with the two prime ministers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Emperor Yu glance at him with a cold expression. Zheng Xuan suddenly broke out in sweat and quickly raised his hands: "My lord, I obey the order!"
"Ji Sui!"
"I'm here!"
"You personally go to Jiangbei, unite with the Jinyi Guards, find corrupt officials, gather soldiers from the two counties, and be sure to capture all the traitors for me!"
"According to the order!"
Ji Sui bowed his hands respectfully, with a hint of suspicion on his face. It was just for a group of corrupt officials. The Jin Yiwei was enough to suppress them, but why did he let himself, the head of the Ministry of War, go there in person?
Could it be that what Your Majesty wants to move is not the government, but... the aristocratic family?
…
Zuo Xiangfu.
After Lin Qiushi came back from the Yamen, he rushed into the study, his face still looking shocked.
"master!"
"Did you find out?"
"Um!"
The old servant stepped forward, his voice was very low, and he said in a deep voice: "It has been confirmed that the person in Prince Sheng's Mansion is none other than His Highness Prince Sheng who died in the Western Region. In the past six months, all the servants of Prince Sheng's Mansion have been transferred from the palace. Yes, Ouchi also takes charge of the guards."
"The imperial court is extremely tight on the news about Prince Sheng's Mansion!"
"His Royal Highness King Sheng is not dead!"
When Lin Qiushi heard this, the hand holding the tea cup began to tremble, and he looked straight at the old housekeeper: "This matter must not be leaked at all!"
"promise!"
"Get down!"
After the old housekeeper left, Lin Qiushi had a tangled look on his face. He held the tea in his hands, but did not bring it to his mouth for a long time. After a long time, he sighed with regret: "It's a pity... fate plays tricks on people, and there is no turning back."
"Prepare your horses and head to the teahouse."
Half an hour later, in a private room of a remote teahouse, Lin Qiushi waited quietly for a long time until a young man arrived.
