Chapter 63

"After you left the court, the Ninth Prince ordered Chunyu Yue and Feng Quji to pay six million Qian into the treasury before dark!"

Ying Zheng was taken aback: "Just this? Will they hand it over obediently?"

He knew those officials too well; they were all cunning and sly people; letting them pay money honestly, how could that be possible.

"Not just that, the Ninth Prince handed the Lu Lu Sword to that kid Wang Li."

"He ordered Wang Li to supervise, and if they don't pay the six million Qian before dark, he can... execute their entire families!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

"Good!"

"I didn't expect that kid to use this trick to make them pay."

"I thought he wouldn't handle it well; I worried about him for nothing."

General Zhang Han Han hesitated to speak, not knowing if His Majesty would be furious after knowing more things later.

"Is there anything else?"

Ying Zheng saw General Zhang Han Han's hesitant appearance.

General Zhang Han Han smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, there are two more major matters."

"Major matters? Let's hear them."

Ying Zheng was curious; in General Zhang Han Han's mouth, major matters probably had some weight.

General Zhang Han Han explained the tax reform matter in detail.

Ying Zheng smiled: "This is a good thing; as long as Ying Zi Ye can succeed in the reform, the position of Crown Prince is not impossible to give to him."

"It's just that this matter is destined to be riddled with difficulties; those officials are not vegetarians."

Ying Zheng knew those officials best; one was more clever than the other.

If it were conventional means, that group of officials might not necessarily listen to Ying Zi Ye.

As for whether he can succeed, it depends on Ying Zi Ye's ability. ===== CHAPTER 65 =====
