C7119 The Old Enemy Had Reappeared!
After Fang Hui obtained the blessing of Lu Yu's mana, he became a master of the fourth level of the Heavenly State, and he faintly emitted a powerful aura that made people shiver.
When they found out that these people were all masters of the Heavenly State, all the ministers present could not help but let out a cry of surprise.
To them, the masters of the first level of the Heavenly State were already quite extraordinary. They did not expect that Fang Hui was actually a master of the fourth level of the Heaven Realm, the Great Dao, and the realm of the Fu Lu.
"These are all His Majesty's ministers?"
A hint of fear flashed across many people's hearts.
If these people attacked, they would probably turn the world upside down.
However, these supreme masters who controlled great power obediently followed Lu Yu's subordinates without any complaints.
"They are all the governors and generals of the outside world. They are here to familiarize themselves with the rules of the dynasty. These things will be done by the people of the Bureau of Personnel." Lu Yu waved his hand.
At that moment, a Minister of the Bureau of Personnel stepped forward and received the imperial edict.
"In the future, more and more worlds will be merged into Great Qin, and countless talents will appear. The Bureau of Personnel will be in a lot of trouble, so I will have to trouble you, Senior Brother." Lu Yu looked at Fu Zhixue.
Fu Zhixue was the Minister of Personnel, and he was also the Grand Secretary of the Academy of Confucius.
"Yes, Sir." Fu Zhixue accepted the order.
Everyone realized that Lu Yu's words were definitely not without reason.
The territory of Great Qin was getting wider and wider, and even many experts from the outside world had submitted to Lu Yu. In the future, more and more talents would appear.
Although the territory was vast, there was only one central government.
If they wanted to continue to stand tall in the central government, they would have to have sufficient strength. If they did not have enough strength, they would be eliminated very quickly.
Lu Yu's casual words made everyone feel a strong sense of crisis.
Cui Yi no longer had the same imposing manner as before. She knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, I am doing this for the sake of the people of Great Qin."
"Does that mean that I have wronged you?"
Lu Yu smiled faintly and said, "Actually, I have also thought about it. I know how much Xianyang City has become. It is actually in a state of deficit, and you have to use taxing methods to maintain the operation of the Qin army."
When Lu Yu left, Great Qin's national treasury was already quite full.
After taking over the two dynasties, including Zhou and Tang, and after Lu Yu found a few more spirit meridians, Great Qin's national treasury was quite full. It would not be in a state of deficit for a short period of time.
Moreover, Lu Yu had expanded his territory outside, and Great Qin's national fate had risen by several levels. There would not be a situation where the national treasury was empty.
Cui Yi's expression changed slightly, and she forced herself to remain calm. "You are not in Xianyang. The Bureau of Revenue has spent a lot of resources over the years. No matter how full the national treasury is, it will be very difficult to support it."
"Mm... The people from the Skynet, go and investigate. Check where the money from the Bureau of Household is spent." Lu Yu said indifferently.
Hearing this, Cui Yi was immediately so scared that her entire body trembled.
He was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance, and he was in charge of the tax and money matters of Great Qin. He held a high position and a great power.
As for using some money to help him do some business, he would be able to make up for the deficit when the New Year came.
This kind of thing could be said to be flawless. It was just using the money in the national treasury to get some benefits for himself.
However, Cui Yi never thought that the Chu Army would suddenly appear and lock up Xianyang.
The few large chambers of commerce under his command were unable to send the goods to him. Those were all spirit stones, the foundation of the national treasury.
Cui Yi was immediately terrified. On one hand, he quickly gathered his family and used his family's wealth to fill in the gap. On the other hand, he also used a scheme to make it seem like the national treasury had been exhausted. Then, he collected taxes and made up for his deficit.
Of course, this was still a huge deficit.
The Qin Army had stationed fifteen legions in Xianyang Planet, and they had a total of more than eight million soldiers.
With so many people, the amount of money and food that he had to spend was already astronomical. He could barely support it, but once the war started, he would not be able to replenish his supplies. At that time, he would be in trouble.
The best way now was to reach a compromise with Chu Jun as soon as possible and let him remove the blockade. This way, his Chamber of Commerce could smoothly send the goods in and replenish the deficit.
Cui Yi had gone overboard with this matter, but Minister of Finance Pei Tianguang was still in seclusion. The entire Ministry of Finance was under his control, so there was no difference for a while.
However, once the Heavenly Network investigated, the nature of the matter would be different.
Of course, Cui Yi knew what kind of people the Heavenly Network was. It was during the war that the Heavenly Network did not pay attention to him. If the Heavenly Network really investigated seriously, his little tricks would not be of any use.
"Your Majesty, I... I know I was wrong."
Cui Yi was so scared that his face turned pale and he sat on the ground.
"Your crimes are only limited to this. Let's wait for the Heavenly Network to investigate thoroughly." Lu Yu said indifferently, "If there really is someone who dares to use Great Qin's treasury as an excuse, I will make him regret coming to this world."
Cui Yi was so scared that her entire body went limp. She fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
He, an Earth Realm expert, was actually scared to tears by Lu Yu's words.
The others watched coldly from the sidelines. None of them opened their mouths to plead for mercy. Cui Yi's current behavior was obviously something she had done behind his back. Otherwise, she would not be so terrified.
Lu Yu did not say anything. He waved his hand and a few Imperial Guards rushed in, dragging Cui Yi away.
The other ministers did not even dare to breathe loudly, afraid that they would provoke Lu Yu and end up in a life-threatening situation.
"Li Si, what is going on with the Great Chu Dynasty?" Lu Yu asked.
After settling the problems in the court, Lu Yu made a prompt decision and asked Li Si directly.
Li Si cupped his hands and said, "I don't know His Majesty, but do you still remember the Linglong Heavenly Emperor?"
0
"Chen Linglong?" Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashing past them.
"That's right."
Li Si said, "That Chen Linglong retreated to a different world and secretly ran it. Who would have thought that she would appear again and change the dynasty. She changed her name to Great Chu and attempted to seize the world."
"Is it Shen Linglong? She can do such a thing."
Thinking about Shen Linglong's betrayal in his previous life, Lu Yu understood that the woman he was facing was definitely not an ordinary person.
She was more tolerant than anyone else. In terms of danger, this woman was the most terrifying.
Back then, Lu Yu wanted to find Shen Linglong, but even after he became the master of the Heaven Realm, he was still unable to find her. It could be seen how meticulous this woman was.
Now, Shen Linglong probably really thought that he had died in outer space, so she revealed her trump card.
"I was wondering why a Great Chu Dynasty suddenly appeared. It seems like those experts are all cultivators from the Eternal Night Realm."
A smile appeared on Lu Yu's face. "Since she jumped out herself, don't blame me."
