Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Master Song, have you made the preliminary calculation?"

Ning Fan asked Song Chengzhou.

Today, it was not just the government officials who came to the banker to raid their properties, but also many accountants.

These people took the abacus and fiddled with the beads quickly, and from time to time they would record it in their notebooks.

"There are too many things. Please understand, Your Highness, it will take at least three days to complete the inventory."

Song Chengzhou looked helpless.

Ning Fan nodded: "During these three days, the entire Phoenix Mountain must be strictly controlled, and no property is allowed to be lost!"

"All the banker's property is deposited into the national treasury. If the property on the scene is stolen, it is equivalent to stealing the national treasury."

Ning Fan read the order to everyone in public.

After spending a whole day dealing with gold, silver and jewelry, Ning Fan felt a little clearer after getting off the Phoenix Mountain.

There was a sound of horse hooves, and then a group of people came galloping over. The leading general rolled off his horse and knelt in front of Ning Fan's carriage.

"Your Highness, Luo Yong is back!"

Luo Yong is wearing armor and is very heroic.

Ning Fan quickly jumped off the carriage and helped Luo Yong up from the ground.

"Luo Yong, how are you doing with the things you were told to do? Is the situation at Tianjiang Camp okay?"

Ning Fan asked.

Tianjiang Camp is the top priority and must be tightly controlled.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission! Now all the rebels and comrades in the camp have been wiped out in one fell swoop!"

When Luo Yong spoke, there was blood in his eyes.

Luo Yong was Ning Fan's confidant. He came to the camp with Ning Fan's imperial envoy's seal, and he was actually exercising Ning Fan's rights as an imperial envoy.

"it is good!"

Ning Fan felt happy, and at the same time, he had many thoughts.

Luo Yong is a talent, and it would be a pity to stay in Tianjiang. Ning Fan finally decided to take Luo Yong back.

Although Luo Yong stayed, he could control the Tianjiang camp and even serve as the Tianjiang commander-in-chief after being recommended by Song Chengzhou.

But Ning Fan, who was born in the special forces, already has a clear understanding of the war in the cold weapon era.

In this era, cavalry was the fastest unit, but it was also very slow to move.

Even if Luo Yong successfully controls Tianjiang Camp, his role for Ning Fan is not as important as staying by his side.

"The matter in Tianjiang has come to an end. Please clean up and follow me back to Beijing in a few days."

Ning Fan patted Luo Yong on the shoulder.

The situation has changed drastically, and Tianjiang is no longer the Tianjiang it used to be.

With the collapse of Governor Zhuang Wen, countless people have been affected, and Tianjiang's original interest distribution structure will also fundamentally change.

If a banker falls, the benefits transferred will probably be divided up by other clans.

Zhuang Wen's death will not have any positive impact on the people of Tianjiang.

So Ning Fan has been thinking about one thing, how to remedy the damage caused by Zhuang Wen.

In recent years, Zhuang Wen has imposed heavy taxes on Tianjiang, causing resentment among the people of Tianjiang and the imperial court.

It is a very urgent task to let the people of Tianjiang regain their confidence in Dakang.

At night, Ning Fan sat at his desk and started drafting secrets for the new day.

These days, Ning Fan will write a memorial every day. He will meticulously write a memorial about his daily actions and insights and submit it to the court.

However, today's memorial made it difficult for Ning Fan to write.

If he told Emperor Tian'an the true situation of Tianjiang's current situation in a straight letter, he would probably make Emperor Tian'an's mood fall to the bottom.

But in the end, Ning Fan decided to respect the facts.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty's secret edict has arrived."

Ergou pushed open the door and ran in.

This was the first reply Ning Fan received from Emperor Tian'an, and he immediately opened it eagerly.

After reading the edict at a glance, Ning Fan's whole face was filled with joy.

It turned out that Emperor Tian'an's letter did not talk about the situation on the Tianjiang River at all, but only told Ning Fan that General Xiao Chong had proposed to the royal family.

It seems that what happened here in Tianjiang has been spread back to the capital.

And Xiao Chong only proposed marriage in advance when he knew that Ning Fan would definitely be crowned king.

Ning Fan, who had always been busy with things, suddenly felt like he was returning home. He wished he could take a boat and sail straight to Kyoto.

"By the way, you go to Cuihong Mansion tomorrow and give some things to Miss Qingyi."

Ning Fan called Er Gou and asked Er Gou to do something for him tomorrow.

At this moment, a face that looked both angry and happy suddenly appeared in front of Ning Fan's eyes.

If Qingyi hadn't defected in battle, Ning Fan would have known his final fate, so thinking about it now makes him feel like he's breaking out in a cold sweat.

What Ning Fan wants to give to Qing Yi is not something else, but a document.

With this document, Qingyi's identity is completely free, and she no longer has to bear the burden of being a slave.

With the wealth she has accumulated, she should have a good life in the second half of her life.

"Your Highness, why don't you go and see Miss Qingyi in person?"

Ergou was a little confused.

He remembered that Ning Fan clearly spent the middle of the night on Qing Yi's boat, but why was he so heartless now that he didn't even see her again.

"Adults do things. Children, don't ask questions. Go and call Xingchen."

Ning Fan said angrily.

Not long after, the door was pushed open and Xingchen walked in from the outside.

He knelt on the ground and said to Ning Fan: "Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

"Are you willing to leave you in Tianjiang?"

Ning Fan asked with fury.

Xingchen was stunned for a moment, but soon asked with an uncertain tone: "Your Highness left me in Tianjiang to let me open a business here?"

Ning Fan had to admire Xingchen's reasoning ability. He smiled and said, "In the past few days, I have bought ten shops and hired shopkeepers. You can just help me manage the shops here."

"Your Highness, what about my sister?"

Xingchen asked with concern.

Ning Fan expected that Xingchen would ask this, and he smiled again: "Of course your sister will go back to Kyoto with me, you can be here alone."

When Xingchen heard what Ning Fan said, he felt relieved.

He nodded and said happily: "I didn't expect that His Highness would give me such great trust! However, I will work hard and make as much money as possible."

Ning Fan shook his head and said: "Making money is only a small part of the reason why you stay here. In addition, you also need to build an intelligence channel of our own!"

"In one year, no matter what happens in Dakang, I need to know as soon as possible as quickly as possible!"

Ning Fan's expression became serious.

In this era where transportation information is seriously underdeveloped, it is too difficult to obtain information.

It is impossible for the emperor to know everything about various places very clearly, and most of the time, the information he gets is filtered out.

In this era, obtaining accurate information is the most difficult thing.

"This seems a bit difficult..."

Xingchen's face showed a troubled look for the first time.
