The news of the destruction of the Dengzhou Jiang family and the Thunderbolt Sect quickly spread throughout the world.

Some aristocratic families with a history of bad deeds are now even more worried.

For several days in a row.

Ying Yuan traveled to Xiangzhou, Suizhou, and Anzhou.

The noble families of these three states have never even seen the emperor.

He almost emptied half of his family's assets.

Then gave it to him.

When leaving Anzhou and heading to Jiangzhou.

Ying Yuan looked at the thirty or forty large boxes filled with valuables and fell into deep thought.

In previous history, any emperor who traveled to the south of the Yangtze River was accused of wasting money and labor.

How come when it was my turn to go to the south of the Yangtze River, I not only didn’t spend any money, but made a lot of money instead?

My heart hurts so much.

At this time, the short-sighted Dian Wei said carelessly: "Your Majesty is really amazing. He made a lot of money just by visiting a few places."

Hearing this, Lai Junchen echoed with a smile, "This is precisely the wisdom of Your Majesty. From ancient times to the present, merchants have always been motivated by profit."

During the national crisis, the wealthy and powerful business families must have thought of a way out for themselves. In that situation, who hasn't done something wrong?

Your Majesty seized upon this very point and used the Dengzhou incident to deter the villains and make the worried merchants hesitate to act rashly.

They naturally want to show their loyalty to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's plan of killing two birds with one stone is truly amazing."

He said this deliberately, with the intention of letting Ying Yuan hear it unintentionally.

Otherwise, how can it be called flattery?

It's a pity that he was still a little too deliberate.

Compared with the Minister of Revenue Heshen, his skills in this area are still far behind.

In fact, Ying Yuan was really unhappy.

Because no matter what happens, as long as it is beneficial to their country, they can always relate it to themselves.

This is bullshit.

Ying Yuan originally planned to kill all the merchants from wealthy families who came to give gifts.

In this case, no one would dare to give money.

But on second thought, he was afraid that something like what happened to the Jiang family in Dengzhou would happen again.

After all, as Lai Junchen said, if those wealthy businessmen had nothing to hide, why would they be so attentive?

There must be a ghost!

Since there are ghosts, they cannot be killed.

Wouldn't it be better to keep them to wreak havoc on the world?

Therefore, Ying Yuan could only reluctantly accept these gold, silver and jewelry.

He looked at Mi Yue who was sitting in the imperial carriage and said, "Go and pick out some gold and silver jewelry that you like."

Hearing this, the latter shook her head and said, "I don't need those things, and it's useless to ask for them."

Hui'er, who was responsible for serving her, looked at the boxes of jewelry with shining eyes.

Seeing this, Ying Yuan smiled and said, "You like it? Go pick out a piece of jewelry. Just consider it a reward from me because I'm happy today."

After a pause, he looked at the soldiers who had come with him and said loudly, "A reward of five taels of silver for each of them."

There are a total of 50,000 people, and if each person is rewarded with 5 taels of silver, that would be 250,000 taels of silver.

Is it a lot?

Actually, a lot.

However, for Ying Yuan now, it is just a drop in the bucket.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers knelt down on one knee one after another.

In fact, the five taels of silver distributed to each person was nothing in Xianyang City, where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.

But this is the reward given by Ying Yuan after all.

Ji Gang, who was watching this scene from afar, frowned slightly and said, "There are so many places to spend money in the court nowadays. Your Majesty is so generous. I really don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."

Hearing this, Guo Jia, who was drunk, shook his head and said:

"You don't understand. For His Majesty, as long as he can keep the army firmly in his hands, no matter what chaos occurs in the world, he has nothing to fear."

In his eyes, Ying Yuan's approach was precisely to rally the troops and boost morale.

Kings, princes, generals and ministers throughout history have never valued ordinary soldiers.

But throughout history, kings, princes, generals and ministers who were able to win battles all treated ordinary soldiers as their own children.

Ying Yuan loved his soldiers like his own sons, which was why he made those soldiers fight for him till death.

But he didn't think too much about it. He just felt that he had too much money and had no place to spend it.

At this time, Mi Yue sat upright on the imperial chariot, glared fiercely at Hui Er beside her, then looked at Ying Yuan and slowly said:

"Your Majesty, this maid was brought by me from the State of Chu. She has only been in the palace for a short time and doesn't quite understand the rules. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

As soon as the voice fell, the one called Hui'er also realized that he had made a big mistake, so he quickly got off the imperial carriage, knelt on the ground, and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I was just looking around. I don't want anything. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Ying Yuan shook his head and smiled, "No problem, I said, you can choose any piece of jewelry you want. If you don't choose, I will regard you as disobeying my order."

Hui'er was in a dilemma.

Mi Yue had no choice but to say, "Why don't you thank His Majesty quickly?"

Hui'er nodded immediately, kowtowed again and knelt, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace. May your Majesty live forever."

Ying Yuan glanced at Mi Yue.

It happened that the latter was also looking at him.

Everything is implied.

Late that night.

The army set up camp on the spot.

In the imperial tent.

Mi Yue personally massaged Ying Yuan's shoulders and whispered, "Today, Your Majesty asked Hui'er to personally select a piece of valuable jewelry. I, Hui'er, would like to thank Your Majesty on his behalf."

Hearing this, the latter shook his head and said, "She has already thanked me, why are you saying it again?"

"I was originally worried that her eyes might displease Your Majesty because they were not sincere."
