"Do you think it's really impossible to do this this week?" Li Jia looked at the letter, smiled, and asked casually.

"We sent people to Changsha Mansion, and now we have hooked up with some people. Although the king of Chu is not exhausted, he is still close. I heard that the old injury has recurred, so he moved the capital to Langzhou!"

Wu Qing looked at the seal with a smile on his face: "The King of Chu concealed his illness extremely well, but this letter exposed it beyond doubt. He really needs our help from the Tang Dynasty!"

"You can tell!" Li Jia nodded, then looked at the young eunuch and asked, "Did the princess say anything else to you?"

"The princess said that she is already considered a member of the Li family. The Zhou family is related to the Li family by marriage. If she had the intention, she should have known how to deal with it. She also said that your majesty has already had an idea in mind!"

"Hahaha, my queen is really smart!" Li Jia shook the envelope and ordered: "Send someone to Langzhou to find out the king's situation. Don't guess. I need accurate information!"

"Nuo——" Wu Qing bowed his hands and agreed.

Hunan, Wupingjun, is really a good place!

In the past, Emperor Liu's uncle used the four counties in Jingnan as his base and then conquered Shu. The Wuping Army was based on these four counties and had a vast territory.

It's a pity that the previous conflicts between Ma and Chu were too fierce, and all the hard work of Ma Yin, the founder of Southern Chu, was ruined. Coupled with the previous usurpation of Southern Tang, the entire land of Hunan and the fourteen states,

Sixty-six counties have a population of only six to seven million, which is even more pitiful than Lingnan.

And Nanping Kingdom is only a land of three states, but it is almost the same.

"However, no matter what, Hunan will still be captured. When the time comes, we can look at Shu to the west, Southern Tang to the east, and Nanping to the north. No matter what, we can unify the south!"

Hunan's location is very important. If you want to go north, you must capture Hunan. This is already the case when going south. The Jiangxi Basin is too powerful and is surrounded by mountains. Only Hunan is suitable. This is why the Japanese devils launched the Battle of Changsha.

Then, during the early morning court, the officials were dressed in various colors of court clothes, hanging gold or silver fish bags, a large piece of black fish.

The old god Li Jia sat comfortably and enjoyed the kneeling of the ministers. This feeling, even though it has been experienced many times, is still immersive and unforgettable.

"If there is no problem, please withdraw from the court!" Tian Zhong said sharply.

"I have this to say!" At this time, a censor in his thirties came out and said loudly:

"I want to impeach Zhangqiu, the Minister of Household Affairs, for neglecting his duties!"

"Tell me in detail!" Li Jia waved his hand and said.

"These days are the days when summer taxes are paid, but Mr. Zhang neglects his duties and plays around every day without any sense of authority or responsibility!"

"Is this possible?" Hearing this, Li Jia smiled inwardly and even started to make insinuations. He was really clever.

"I am guilty. Although I am having fun, I attach great importance to the affairs of the court, especially the summer tax. This is the foundation of the country, so naturally I dare not delay it."

"Although I am having fun, it has little impact on the summer tax!"

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were in an uproar.

"Why is this? The responsibility for the summer tax naturally lies with the Ministry of Household Affairs..." Someone cooperated.

"Your Majesty, the country's taxation is the foundation of the imperial court. It is separated from the imperial court and is not among the officials. It is actually operated by a group of transfer envoys. As a result, the local area is suffering miserably and there are many complaints. If this continues, the country will not be able to survive. There is no hope.

Your Majesty’s Holy Judgment!”

"I hope your Majesty will judge you!" Many officials bowed down, but those prime ministers and ministers were very thoughtful and could not do things easily. They just stood upright and watched with cold eyes, as if they were not involved.

"Humph!" Li Jia snorted coldly and looked at the officials who were kneeling down, almost half of them, with overwhelming momentum.

But Li Jia was unmoved and said in a deep voice: "Do you think it's possible to force the mother to conceive?"

"I don't dare!" all the officials said in unison.

"Those transfer envoys were personally appointed by me to collect taxes and transfer them to the court. Naturally, those local officials, Bailihou, couldn't bear it. Their means of making money had been taken away, and they were naturally unwilling to accept it!"

"But so what? This is my decision and cannot be changed! Even if all of you kneel down!"

Li Jia's words were so resounding that they made all the officials feel cold. Everyone who knelt down felt regretful in their guts.

Only then did everyone recall the bloody storm when the emperor first entered Panyu. Hundreds of officials were dismissed for corruption and the court was half empty.

With their heads lowered, most of the officials were trembling, while those who were still standing seemed to be watching the excitement, overjoyed.

The official position is like a carrot and a pit. Without these people, it will be easier to climb up, and you can even get one step closer.

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. The transport envoys carry orders from the emperor and all the people. The court can be more relaxed in these days. Thanks to this group of transport envoys, your majesty's foresight can shine thousands of miles away!"

As Prime Minister, Cui Quan could no longer remain indifferent. He could only stand up and scold these kneeling officials: "You are so short-sighted, how can you understand His Majesty's profound intentions!"

These words seemed to be scolding, but in fact he was defending. Li Jia glanced sideways at him, making him shudder.

"It will not be a problem for the transfer envoys to leave the imperial court in the long run. In this case, let's set up the transfer envoys' Yamen. There will be one chief envoy, from the third rank, two deputy envoys, and the fourth rank, responsible for supervising the transfer envoys."

"Since it is a third-grade yamen of the imperial court, the two taxes alone are not enough. The salt and iron taxes, as well as some monopoly taxes, should also be collected by it!"

"As for the location, it should be next to the household department!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. They originally wanted to cancel the transfer envoy, but instead they allowed it to grow. Furthermore, the third-level yamen still controlled Lingnan taxation, and the Ministry of Household Affairs really only had the right to spend expenditures.

"Sun Zhao!"

"I'm here!" Sun Zhao seemed to feel the jealous eyes of the officials for a moment, and stepped forward.

"The transfer envoy Si Yamen is related to the foundation of the imperial court and cannot be left unattended. From today on, your dispatch will be supplemented by a chief envoy!"

"I thank God for his kindness!" Sun Zhao felt like his whole body was trembling. He was so happy to have wealth and power.

And he also felt Xianggong Cui's eyes that looked as if they were real.

"Is there anyone else who started playing?"

"I have this memorial!" Another person came out and shouted: "I would like to abolish lead coins and remake copper coins!"

"When the Liu family was in power, they used lead as money. The money would break into pieces within a few months. They also decided on ten lead and one copper. The people were disgusted with it. Even twenty lead was not worth one copper. The people suffered greatly!"

"I ask you to abolish lead coins and remake divine bronze treasures to benefit the people!"
