The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 146 Crisis
Du Yu chose to cooperate deeply with the mainland in order to relieve the pressure in the Hong Kong comprehensive world. After some operations, he put part of the production capacity of the single-chip microcomputer in Yangcheng.

This has promoted the progress of the Hong Kong comprehensive world to a certain extent, which is faster than the same period of real history.

Especially in terms of wages and benefits, it has greatly stimulated talents from the mainland, causing many talents who were dismissive of private companies or joint ventures to switch to the embrace of Xinghai Science and Technology Innovation.

Only with excellent talents doing development can we gradually move those advanced concepts and technological products in the real world to the Hong Kong comprehensive world and enter a virtuous circle.

It was also out of this consideration that he equalized the treatment of the Mainland and Hong Kong Island. Although Min Shiheng had persuaded him, Du Yu still chose to stick to his own ideas.

As the emperor in the Great Wei of the Water Margin world, he has long understood this truth, money is easy to find and talents are rare.

He is chic in the Hong Kong Comprehensive World and the Water Margin World, but he did not expect the crisis to come quietly in the Shendi World. The source of the crisis is not someone else but the Empress Wu Zetian who single-handedly promoted Yuan Qi to King Ying.

In the Tang Dynasty in the Shendi world, because Du Yu devoured Yuan Qi and replaced him, he canceled the action plan for the Hangou case and carried out a certain degree of development in Yangzhou.

Food crops such as high-yielding rice, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were introduced, and these crops supplemented Datang's productivity, which was strengthened to a certain extent, and the national strength was enhanced a lot.

Not only that, but he also dedicated the blueprint of the flying shear ship to the queen, and also included the method of making canned food, which enriched the tables of the people of Tang Dynasty.

The army that benefited the most from these two aspects was Datang's army. In the past, except for dry food and vinegar cloth, all they could bring on expeditions was now supplemented with canned food, salted fish, kelp, etc., which were easy to store.

Coupled with famous ministers and generals such as Di Renjie and Wang Xiaojie, several wars against Tule have achieved more brilliant results than those in the TV series.

From this point of view, Wu Zetian or the entire Tang Dynasty should be grateful to him, "Yuanqi", but the queen has sent plum blossom guards to Yangzhou for so many years.

For a qualified emperor, whether the minister is loyal to her is one issue, and whether he can be under her control is another issue.

In fact, a few years ago, a Tang envoy from the Wa Kingdom came to her to complain, saying that a group of Tang people under the banner of King Ying burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes in the Wa Kingdom.

Wu Zetian was noncommittal about this at the beginning, even though he had heard about it, he didn't take it seriously. After all, there were too many things in the Tang Dynasty. The external crisis, the internal Liangwang party and the Li Bao faction were always struggling.

She has to fight and pull to balance the power of the two parties all the time, and the prince is always not very up-to-date, all kinds of things make her physically and mentally exhausted, so how can she have the mind to care about the affairs of the Japanese country, especially the other party's complaint? Or the beloved minister Yuan Qi who has made many contributions.

But with the passage of time, she found that even though Cui Liang and Wu Wendeng were replaced, the new Yangzhou officials still looked forward to the "King Ying", and every time they reported to the court, they reported good news but not bad news.

Under such circumstances, she dispatched many internal guards of plum blossoms to Yangzhou City to observe Yuan Qi's every move, but at the beginning, she did not find anything.

However, with the continuous expansion of the Iron Hands, the size of its personnel became larger and larger, and it was no longer able to maintain its previous secrecy. Slowly, some clues were found by the inner guards.

After reporting back to Wu Zetian, she frowned and thought over and over for a long time. Yuan Qi really did not do anything against her.

It's just that the inextricable connection with the iron hand group made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Although there was no evidence that Yuan Qi had a rebellious heart, no emperor would allow ministers to have their own power.

Considering the current development status of Yangzhou and other places, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. The south of the Yangtze River has shown a different prosperity than before. The population has increased sharply in the past ten years, and Yuan Qi's reputation here is too high. ..., it's hard not to be afraid.

So after careful consideration, after Di Renjie had just cracked the Liangzhou case and wiped out the Black Clothes Club and returned to the court, he resigned from his post as the dethroning envoy of the Northwest Road, and was renamed the dethroning envoy of the Jiangnan Road and the transfer envoy of the Jianghuai capital, and was ordered to be an imperial envoy to rectify the officials. And give the right to act cheaply.

After Di Renjie received the order, he was still a little dazed, not understanding why the empress asked him to go to the south of the Yangtze River to rectify the administration of officials.

In his cognition, is there a more stable place in Datang today than Yangzhou? After Ying Wang Yuan Qi Xianrui, the production of food crops increased significantly, and after the development of fishery, the entire south of the Yangtze River was enriched.

Unable to understand, he asked, "Your Majesty, what happened to Jiangnan?"

"Huaiying, take a look at these first..." Wu Zetian said.

"This is..." Di Renjie picked up a bunch of secret documents in front of the queen and looked at them.

Looking at all the contents recorded above, he couldn't help but take a breath, thinking to himself, could Yuan Qi really be so courageous?In private, he has no idea about the notorious killer organization like the Iron Hands, and secretly formed a fleet to plunder the population of the Japanese country to amass wealth.

"Your Majesty is worried that King Ying will deliberately rebel?" Di Renjie asked.

Wu Zetian nodded, then shook his head again, and said, "Huaiying, Yuan Qi is a minister I have single-handedly promoted, and he has made great contributions to the country. I doubt that he conspired against the country, but there is no evidence that he has such intentions. The secret of the inner guard It was shown above that he was addicted to cultivation and would retreat to practice Taoism every once in a while, and there was only one princess, even the princess."

"Your Majesty, although the old minister doesn't know much about King Ying, he has always kept a low profile in his actions these years. Even though His Majesty offered him several rewards, he declined him politely. He doesn't look like a person who is obsessed with power." Di Renjie said.

"Huaiying, that's why I sent you there. The internal guard's investigation may not be groundless, secretly developing forces to plunder overseas wealth... But Yuan Qi is a meritorious person. How to investigate and how to deal with it requires an expert. Only wise people can do it properly." Wu Zetian said.

"Your Majesty." Di Renjie said.

"Huaiying, I hope that the matter of the Tie Shou Tuan has nothing to do with Yuan Qi, but if it does happen, it will be for the future stability of the Tang Dynasty..." Wu Zetian stopped in the middle of her speech, with a complicated expression on her face.

"The old minister understands." Di Renjie said.

Coming out of the palace and returning to Di Mansion, Li Yuanfang was exercising martial arts with Zhang Huan and others.

"My lord." Seeing Di Renjie return home, a group of people immediately stopped to salute.

Di Renjie exchanged some pleasantries, then returned to the study and called Li Yuanfang over.

"Yuan Fang, we are going to Jiangnan this time." Di Renjie said.

"My lord, has something important happened in the court again?" Li Yuanfang asked.

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Your Majesty has just decreed that I will be resigned from my position as the dethroning envoy of the Northwest Road and replaced by the dethroning envoy of the Jiangnan Road to rectify the administration of officials in the south of the Yangtze River."

"My lord, I haven't heard of any major crimes in the south of the Yangtze River. Some people say that the prosperity of Yangzhou is no less than that of Chang'an. This time I go to see the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River." Li Yuanfang said.

Di Renjie laughed, and said, "Compared to Jiangnan in Liangzhou, it's a different scene. It's really worth visiting and enjoying. By the way, Yuanfang, have you ever heard of the Iron Hands?"

"The Iron Hands! Of course I've heard of it, the biggest gang of assassins in the Jianghu, sir, why are we going to deal with the Iron Hands this time?" Li Yuanfang was a little surprised.

"Maybe." Di Renjie said.

"My lord, I have heard of the great reputation of the Iron Hands Group many years ago. There are rumors in the world that anyone who is targeted by them will be hunted down until the target person dies. It is the most brutal killer organization. But the last time I heard that the Iron Hands Group The actions of those people were also seven or eight years ago, could it be that they have come out of the rivers and lakes again?" Li Yuanfang asked.

"Yuan Fang, His Majesty's inner guard found out that the Tie Shou Tuan in Yangzhou has something to do with King Ying," Di Renjie said.

"Who is King Ying who presented sweet potatoes and made canned food?" Li Yuanfang was even more surprised.

Di Renjie nodded with a serious face.

"My lord, this matter is a bit unbelievable." Li Yuanfang said.

Di Renjie said: "Yes, Yuan Qi was promoted by His Majesty as King Ying and placed in Yangzhou after he made great contributions in suppressing Xu Jingye's rebellion. I originally scoffed at people like him, but how many sweet potatoes and potatoes did Xianrui feed? The common people of the Tang Dynasty, how much convenience was brought to the supply of the army by the blueprints of flying shears, canned food, salted fish and other production methods presented later, he is a meritorious person."

"My lord,..." Li Yuanfang was a little puzzled.
