Chapter 124 Advancement

"Since the court can't come up with the money, we can find a way to get it from other places. Although the emperor has no money, the ministers in the court do."

Jiang Jiao briefly explained to them the model of later charity dinners and auction houses.

Xu Keming: "This is to incite court officials to donate money. As long as it is done properly, it should work."

Jiang Jiao: "That's right. Besides, how to make them willingly pay money requires Master Xiao Xu to worry a lot. It would be best if the amount of donations could be made public.

If these ministers want to save face, they won’t be too stingy.”

Xu Mingke bowed to Jiang Jiao and said, "I appreciate your teaching. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Jiang Jiao waved her hand: "Don't worry, this is just one of the reasons. There is another one."

Minghe was also very curious. The auction that Jiang Jiao had just mentioned was already very unique. Could it be that there were any other brilliant ideas?

Jiang Jiao coughed and said, “Since we are repairing the river, does that mean we have one more waterway?

Now that there is an additional road, river transportation will also be a major player. Caravans travel back and forth to transport goods via the river, so shouldn't they also contribute?

Merchants are profit-driven, so we can use the right to use the dock to make a bid. Whoever raises more donations for the river will have priority use rights and the opportunity to become a royal merchant.

Once this news is released, there is no doubt that no one will take the bait. And let’s add another thing: anyone who raises money can have their name engraved on the stone tablet, which will be passed down through the ages.”

Ming He clapped his hands and said, "Great! This is a really great idea. My beloved, how many surprises do you have that I don't know about?"

Jiang Jiao, who was originally immersed in her dream of talking endlessly about the country, was frankly touched by this remark.

Minghe and Xu Keming must have something else to discuss, so Jiang Jiao found an excuse to leave.

Minghe bid her farewell with a reluctant look.

After Jiang Jiao left, Xu Keming also sincerely admired: "Empress Liang is very wise."

Ming He was proud of it. If he had a tail, it would definitely be raised. The king and his ministers discussed government affairs until late.

With Jiang Jiao's method, Xu Keming seemed to be assisted by God and things went smoothly.

Ming He's feelings for Jiang Jiao have also grown stronger. Jiang Jiao can clearly feel that Ming He has been getting closer and closer to her recently.

It's time to execute the next step of the plan.

Recently, Ming He prepared to go on a tour under Jiang Jiao's suggestion to see how the people of Dasheng live and to promote the new policy.

Most people in ancient times were illiterate, so whether the government orders from above could be smoothly conveyed to the grassroots and whether they would be misinterpreted was the key to the successful implementation of the orders.

Therefore, whenever the emperor went on a tour, soldiers would read out the government decrees wherever he went. This was conducive to the implementation of new decrees and also allowed the emperor to understand the lives of the people of Dasheng.

So Minghe prepared for this tour for a long time.

The affairs of the court will be temporarily handled by the Prime Minister.

This time, there was no large-scale guard of honor, only 3,000 elite armored soldiers, divided into three teams, setting off from three directions.

And Minghe was in one of the teams.

Looking at the scenery outside, Jiang Jiao was filled with emotion. The country was so beautiful that it attracted countless heroes to compete for it.

Ever since Ming He was about to go on tour, the news had spread among the people, and a group of people in the dark were ready to make a move.

When they arrived at a town, officials came from afar to greet Minghe's team. Well-trained armored soldiers protected them as they entered the city.

Read the decree.

Inspect local conditions.

next day

Ming He was walking with local officials on the way to a small village called Wanwuzhai. When they reached a long and narrow valley, Ming He felt his eyelids twitching.

But since the itinerary had already been set, he could not back down. He only told his men to be more careful.

The canyon was about a kilometer long. It was quiet all around. Minghe and his group advanced slowly, but just as they advanced one section, the rope tying a boulder to a person ambushing on the mountain wall broke.

With a bang, it fell.

The leader in front shouted: "There is an ambush! There is an ambush! Protect His Majesty."

At once, the ambushed bows and arrows were fired one after another. Arrows rained down like rain. Ming He led Jiang Jiao to fight and retreat.

Unexpectedly, there were enemy soldiers behind them. They surrounded them, but fortunately there were not many of them. Originally, these remnants of the former dynasty were ready to assassinate Minghe when they heard that he was on patrol.

They didn't expect the dog emperor to be so cautious, so they had to split their troops into three groups. It was also a coincidence that the rebel leader was ambushing here today.

He happened to run into Minghe's team here, and originally planned to use the terrain to consume a wave of Minghe's soldiers and guards. But he encountered a low-quality rope and was exposed in advance.

Have to fight a tough battle.

The situation suddenly became very tense. There were sounds of fighting everywhere. In this chaotic battlefield, a group of elite warriors rushed towards Ming He.

For a while, everyone around Ming He was entangled, and Ming He also protected Jiang Jiao and fought. He was not at a disadvantage at all.

Suddenly, an arrow shot from behind Ming He. Ming He was protecting Jiang Jiao and was entangled by two men in black. He couldn't get away. Jiang Jiao shouted, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

She threw herself behind Ming He and blocked the arrow for him. The arrow went straight into his heart. Jiang Jiao fell to the ground.

Ming He quickly dealt with the two assassins and turned around to see this scene that made him stare at the sky. A large area in front of Jiang Jiao was already dyed red.

Minghe quickly caught her.

Jiang Jiao only had time to say the last sentence: "Your Majesty... I hope you're okay..." After that, a large mouthful of blood gushed out. Her eyes were tightly closed and her hands dropped.

Ming He felt as if his heart was torn apart. There was nothing in his mind. In the distance, a bell emitting golden light broke through the wall and flew towards Ming He.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder. The lightning seemed to have eyes and struck the rebels.

Ming He fainted at this moment, a golden light fell, and his body floated into the air. Lin Lang in the air resonated with him and began to awaken.

Soon, under the attack of thunder and lightning, the soldiers cleaned up the mess and captured all the remnants of the previous dynasty.

The few people who were looking for the whereabouts of the artifact were also attracted by the noise and rushed over. After Minghe awakened, he became Ruoying the Divine Lord.

Look at the woman on the ground and pick her up.

The other soldiers did not dare to say anything or ask any more questions after seeing this. Only General Ning stepped forward to ask. "Your Majesty?..."

After Ming He regained his divinity, his temperament became even more indifferent. He only said, "You will handle the follow-up," and then he went back with Jiang Jiao in his arms.

Later, everyone in the world knew that Concubine Liang had passed away.

In the manor.

"Jiaojiao, what's wrong?" Minghe asked the man in front of him.

"Eating grapes inside." Ling Chen glanced at him. He didn't expect Ming He to be Ruoying.

Ming He didn't care about his coldness and went to find Jiang Jiao.

In fact, Jiang Jiao had predicted for Ming He a long time ago that there would be a bloody disaster during his tour, but with God's will on his side, he would be able to turn danger into safety.

Because of this divination result, Jiang Jiao suffered a great backlash.

However, he also took this opportunity to use the puppet transfer technique to successfully awaken Ming He, which was a good result.
