Chapter 99 Genting Mountain

To the northwest of Daxia Kingdom, there is a mountain range called "Tianfengling" outside Wuyang County. Tianfengling is the first mountain range of Daxia Kingdom. In this mountain range, there is also the highest mountain in Daxia Kingdom - Yunding Mountain!

No one has measured the height of Yunding Mountain specifically because Yunding Mountain goes straight into the sky and accumulates snow all year round. Now, Li Xian is leading a thousand guards provided by the Kingdom of Daxia to Yunding Mountain, preparing to dig a cave here and build an imperial tomb under the peak.

Li Wei did not get idle, but recruited refugees and craftsmen everywhere. Even though Li Xian used the mountain to build the imperial tombs, the project was reduced a lot, but the project volume was still quite large and he still needed many people to help.

However, after entering the mountains, there was nothing Li Xian had to do. How to explore Feng Shui and determine the location of the holes, there were naturally professionals responsible for it. The person in charge was still an old acquaintance - Ge Zhengfeng! This alchemist who showed Li Xian's fate.

Li Xian took out the imperial edict and looked at it again and again. Although he had watched it more than once, every time he saw it, it made Li Xian feel excited. Why?

Because he took the position of the Eastern Governor, Li Xian wanted to send troops to attack others, which was "famous and justified". And taking the Shangshu Pushe also means that Li Xian no longer had to pay taxes!

Li Xian received the first order from Shangshu Pushe, which was tax exemption from the Brilliant Star Group!

In the past, Anyang County was tax-free, which did not mean that Brilliant Star Group was tax-free - although Li Xian seemed to have never paid any taxes!

In addition, a large number of craftsmen have begun to make gunpowder, and baskets of gunpowder have been made. Although the Great Xia Kingdom has declined, it can still collect enough saltpeter and sulfur; after all, it is still a centralized country, and it is still not comparable to Anyang Energy.

When Li Xian was preparing to dig and build the imperial tomb, the eldest prince Xia Xu, in the northwest, received a message that made him ecstatic - Li Xian went to repair the imperial tomb and actually handed Anyang over to Xia Qingqing!

Without thinking, the eldest prince immediately ordered Yuan Cai to go to Anyang.

Looking at the backs of Yuan Cai and his group as they walked away, the eldest prince smiled: "This time, let alone 200,000 sets of bearings and 300 kilograms of sea soul silk. Even if it is two million bearings and 300 kilograms of sea soul silk, I will get it for me! If possible, I still want all the secrets in Li Xian's hands!"

And what about Anyang?

Xia Qingqing was still sitting in her original position, Li Xian’s position was vacant; Anyang officials below sat down one after another.

At this moment, there were several wealthy businessmen who were tied up kneeling in the audience. These people were all here to wholesale goods from the Brilliant Star Group, but these people were very brave - Xia Qingqing had just started to take charge of Anyang, and these people were preparing to do business without funds! They actually robbed some weak business travelers.

Xia Qingqing's pink face was filled with evil spirits and issued the first order since taking charge of Anyang, "According to the laws of the Great Xia Kingdom, robbers should be punished."

"Your Highness Princess, we are wrong. We are willing to forgive our sins. We are willing to give all our wealth to Anyang. We are willing to swear to heaven and be slaves in Anyang forever..."

Xia Qingqing coldly interrupted the begging for mercy: "Drag it down and behead it for public display. The rest of the caravans, those with the squad leader and above, were beheaded it for public display; the followers were demoted to slaves and sent to Yunding Mountain to build the imperial tomb!"

In less than a moment, a guard came in to report: his head had been cut.

The hall was quiet, and everyone looked at the stranger Xia Qingqing. In the past, Xia Qingqing gave people the feeling of a beautiful magnolia with a happy smile on her face; however, Xia Qingqing is a cold ruler. The first order since the in charge of Anyang was to kill hundreds of people, and thousands of people were demoted to slaves.

Xu Ren became nervous this time. Looking at Xia Qingqing with a calm expression, he suddenly realized that this was a princess after all, not a little girl! He wouldn't... take the opportunity to take revenge?

Xia Qingqing turned his head again to look at the side where there were several embarrassed businessmen standing there. These people were robbed. Xia Qingqing glanced at these people and looked at Fang Shijing, who was also sweating coldly beside him, "Mr. Fang, has the losses of these people been counted?"

"The statistics show that a total of 173 people died and the losses exceeded 300 taels of gold."

Xia Qingqing turned to look at these embarrassed businessmen, "Is that right?"

A businessman first replied, "Yes."

Xia Qingqing looked at Fang Shijing again, "Mr. Fang, give them 500 taels of gold and send them down to rest. After the injury is healed, you can leave by yourself."

Several merchants were stunned immediately. After a long time, they finally said surprise by clicking on a merchant before: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."

After all the outsiders left, Xia Qingqing looked at Xu Ren, who seemed to have a stiff face next to her, "Sir, do you think Qingqing's methods are too ruthless?"

"This..." Xu Ren didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Xia Qingqing slowly stood up, "If sir has lived in the palace, he will understand Qingqing's methods; giving in will only make people feel weak and bullied. In the past, I was a princess; now, I must guard this family business for my husband!"

Looking at Xia Qingqing's back, Xu Ren suddenly sighed and was about to get up and leave.

Suddenly, a guard came in and reported: "Report to Madam, the negotiators from Cai State have arrived and have arrived at the Anyang border."

Xia Qingqing, who was about to leave the lobby just now, stopped immediately, walked back to her seat without any anxiety, "I'm sorry, sir."

Xu Ren immediately stood up and went to the border. It was only a dozen miles from Anyang Prefecture to the border, and he arrived soon. Cai's team was 100 people, but they were very luxurious, and they were all masters in the foundation-building stage.

Xu Ren's posture was filled with the pride of the winner: "Who is the visitor?"

A master of the Jindan stage, Tiger walked and was incredibly powerful: "Cai State Honglu Temple, Ye Mingquan."

"Please." Xu Ren led the way, but did not go directly to Anyang Mansion, but went to the prisoner's camp first. Here, the people from Cai Kingdom were surprised to find that the prisoner's camp here was not as bad as they imagined, but was very clean, without any pale face, thin skin, wailing, and screaming, and without inhuman torture.

Many prisoners here actually accepted their fate in this way; even if no one was in charge, they worked consciously and lined up to receive food.

Xu Ren looked at Ye Mingquan and Cai people who were obviously stunned, but his tone was low: "We have more than 30,000 prisoners in total, all of them are here. You can enter and ask."

Without waiting for Xu Ren to finish his words, Ye Mingquan rushed into the prisoner camp and grabbed the person and asked. The result was completely unexpected. The answer Ye Mingquan got was that many prisoners here actually wanted to "return to justice". They wanted to become an Anyang person and not return to Cai State. So, they were working hard to transform!

Some people were also very excited when they saw Ye Mingquan and said they wanted to return to China.

After walking around, Ye Ming was very serious and asked many people. The answer he got made Ye Ming feel excited. Most of the prisoners said they wanted to stay! There were even many of the prisoners' families who had already settled in Anyang.

In addition, Anyang did a good job and the prisoners were not abused.

After Ye Mingquan saw Xu Ren again, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say for a moment - the current situation is completely different from the attitudes of various countries towards prisoners.

Ye Mingquan didn't speak, but Xu Ren snorted coldly, "I heard that many prisoners in my Daxia Kingdom were worse than death?"
