Chapter 829: The Angry Retort from the Five Thousand Gold
Some of the legal policies of the Liaodong Economic Special Zone need to be perfected.
Therefore, Liu Zheng has truly been overwhelmed these past few days.
When Qiao Yuan died, those civil and military officials serving in the Liaodong Prefecture all ran away, which left Liu Zheng feeling rather hurt.
It is equivalent to saying that the current Liaodong, in his hands, is a complete mess.
It doesn't matter that Qiao Yuan is dead, but those officials, to a certain extent, were still very useful.
In Liaodong, after so many years, the population, fiscal revenue, land, and various other data should have been managed by dedicated personnel; if Liu Zheng had come to take over as Jiedushi, it would have been much easier.
However,
By the time Xie Chan arrived at that palace complex, these files had all been burned to ashes by someone.
This is a very cumbersome task.
Therefore, these days, Liu Zheng is simultaneously organizing people to promote the implementation of the Patent Law and recruiting a large number of talents; this time, most of those who followed him to Liaodong are merchants, and there are indeed not many who can serve as officials.
Therefore.
Remember the website rg.
These need to be re-tallied.
Soon, the unit of Liaodong Prefecture was also barely propped up.
But it will still take some time for them to become familiar with the situation in Liaodong.
Fortunately.
Throughout Longyan, there were still some talents in other areas who followed him to "brave the journey to the east."
Liu Zheng observed for a few days and felt that although this person did not have such an understanding of the situation in Liaodong, he came from Qingzhou after all, so he was not particularly unfamiliar with the climate and environment here, and this person was also a good hand at handling agriculture.
Liu Zheng smiled and nodded; compared to others calling him "Lord," he actually prefers others to call him "Young Master."
"Young Master, the people from the Agricultural Department have already gone down to collect data. But the land of Liaodong is not small after all; although it is barren and desolate, it is not difficult to count, but it is estimated that it will take at least two months."
The Counselor of the Agricultural Department of Liaodong Prefecture came from Qingzhou, which was recommended to Liu Zheng by the Prince of Wei. His name is Mao Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Mao Cheng looked moved: "What the Young Master says is very true."
After arranging the affairs of the Agricultural Department, Liu Zheng planned to go to the Industrial Department to take a look.
Seeing that he is getting older, how many more times can he hear the title of "Young Master"?
He smiled and said: "The matter of counting farmland is of utmost importance; it relates to the sowing after the beginning of spring and must not be neglected. In addition, with the New Year approaching, when these Executives go down to count, they must also consider their emotions and take care of their salary and benefits."
Liu Zheng gave a wry smile.
Xie Tianyao, could he finally not hold back anymore?
Just at this moment.
The Prince of Yong rushed in in a flurry.
Sure enough.
Just as Liu Zheng guessed, Xie Tianyao ordered the Liaodong team to investigate the whereabouts of Crown Prince Xie Fang, to see the person if alive, or the corpse if dead.
The Emperor's oral decree.
Everyone knelt and bowed.
Although it was not explicitly stated in the oral decree, it was very obvious that Xie Tianyao was forcing the blame for Xie Fang's disappearance onto Assistant Minister Liu.
"An eventful autumn."
The wording was severe, and the punishment was heavy.
It made many people shudder.
Liu Zheng shook his head: "He knows that Xie Fang definitely cannot be found in a short time, but he still issued this order; this is a warning to us."
The Prince of Yong's expression changed.
Liu Zheng climbed up from the ground and wryly put away the oral decree.
After those around them retreated, the Prince of Yong leaned in and whispered: "The Emperor is doing this..."
"Then we..."
The Prince of Yong was a bit anxious.
Saying "we" is indeed a bit far-fetched. Anyone can see that Xie Tianyao is targeting Assistant Minister Liu this time. But he now, after all, also represents the emerging force of the New Aristocracy.
If Assistant Minister Liu were to be punished for this, how could he, the Prince of Yong, fare any better?
A notice was posted.
Since Xie Tianyao is in such a hurry, Liu Zheng does not intend to save face for this imperial court.
Liu Zheng smiled faintly: "Just issue the notice, let everything follow fate."
Very quickly.
Mobilizing the entire civilian force to try to restore the dignity of the royal family.
Anyone who provides effective clues about Xie Fang will be rewarded with one thousand gold!
Searching for the Crown Prince.
The whole of Liaodong, searching for the Crown Prince.
The reward here is not just a nominal reward, but a reward of five thousand gold!
All of a sudden, the entire land of Liaodong was boiling.
As long as one can find Xie Fang and bring him back, the reward is five thousand gold!
Attention.
Very quickly.
Many knights-errant and people from the pugilistic world in Liaodong began to sharpen their blades.
Five thousand gold?
How many people would this make green with envy?
When Xie Tianyao learned of this news, he was on the verge of going mad.
"Five thousand gold."
Find the Crown Prince!
However.
The others present were as silent as cicadas in winter.
A Crown Prince, five thousand gold.
"Five thousand gold, what is this Vice Minister Liu trying to say!"
"Hmm?"
The others also looked at each other, gasping in cold air.
This was likely the most unyielding retort they had ever seen from Vice Minister Liu.
Is this the price Vice Minister Liu has set for his own son?
Xie Tianyao was absolutely furious.
"Emperor!"
"This son has the heart of a wolf and the ambition of a beast; it is clearly revealed."
Does he truly not want his life anymore?
"Emperor, this Vice Minister Liu is truly..."
This announcement from Liu Zheng was indeed a bit of a jab at the imperial court. Because in his heart, he did indeed harbor some resentment. He had worked painstakingly to come to Liaodong, experiencing life-and-death situations and countless hardships, all to cultivate a granary for the Longyan Dynasty that could sustain the entire nation.
Although his strides were a bit large, to this day, he had never done anything to wrong Xie Tianyao or the imperial family.
Xie Tianyao tilted his head and actually fainted from rage.
None.
If he wanted to contend for the Zhongyuan, I fear no one could stop him.
If he truly wanted to usurp the throne, why would he bother to extend Xie Tianyao's life by a year?
Given the state of the Longyan Dynasty back then, if Xie Tianyao had passed away and the world had fallen into chaos, who could have stood against his Liangzhou Army?
Yes.
But after all, he came from a previous life and possessed a compassionate heart. He did not want the common people of the entire nation to fall into the flames of war because of his own ambition.
But he did not.
Does Liu Zheng have no ambition, no selfishness?
He would rather use the least amount of Bitter Remonstrance to obtain supreme power.
Rather than war.
If it were possible.
Just saying, if it were possible.
Everyone in Liaodong felt the anger of Liu Zheng this time.
Even Prince Yong dared not say anything at this moment.
At the very least, it should not be a civil war.
Vice Minister Liu was furious.
But you cannot find him, yet you want Vice Minister Liu to return to the capital to accept punishment?
Consequently.
Because he also felt that Liu Zheng was extremely aggrieved.
Xie Fang was kidnapped; what did that have to do with him?
I am in Liaodong.
Working myself to the bone every day, and I still have to look at the faces of you people in the imperial court?
Under these circumstances, for the first time, Liu Zheng used five thousand gold to angrily retort against the imperial court.
When a general is away at the front, he need not accept all orders from his sovereign.
Five thousand gold.
Just like that.
This is the price of your Xie Family Crown Prince in my heart.
What do you want to do about it?
