Chapter 618

After Shen'an left, Wang Zhong called hetaigao at the first time, "companion, I'm not at ease with Shen'an."

"The emperor is not at ease with Lord Shen?"

"Lord Shen and his uncle Lu Zhongbo are close, but Lu Zhongbo and Li Ming don't deal with each other. I'm afraid Lord Shen will follow in public and disobey in private."

Wang Zhong said here and ordered, "well, go to the execution ground quickly and save Li Mingcai. This is my imperial sword."

"The old slave will go at once."

He Taigao knew that this matter was of great importance and dared not neglect it. He hurriedly got up.

"Mate, we must save Li Mingcai! Bring more people over!"

Wang Chong is worried that Lu Dang outside is not obedient. At that time, not only Li Ming did not save him, but he Taigao will die there.

As soon as he Taigao left, Wang rubbed his forehead again. Now the harem has been solved. The top priority is to deal with Lu Dang.

Next, I will try to earn money.

Depending on taxes, people below swallowed too much. According to previous ancient historical records, from a dynasty to the late period, officials often embezzled more money than the whole country combined.

Therefore, Wang Zhong doesn't expect tax at all.

But arresting so many officials at once is definitely not enough. At that time, the world will be in chaos, and he will die faster.

So he decided to find another way to make money.

When you become the emperor, you can't open restaurants and Ji hospitals in the past. First, you earn too little, and second, you don't have the energy to do it yourself.

After thinking for a while, Wang Zhong decided to open a clothing factory first.

In ancient times, people had no entertainment activities, and family expenses were nothing more than clothes and food.

The amount of food is dead, and he can only rely on the people to grow food. He can't make a lot of money on this in a short time.

But clothes are OK.

Now the weather is getting colder and winter is coming. At that time, it will be cold and the people need cotton padded jackets for winter.

The current cloth on the market is not cheap, for one thing, the raw materials are scarce, and for another, the ancient efficiency is low, so we don't know how to improve efficiency.

What Wang Zhong wants to do now is factory management.

He has thought about all the people. The upper and lower parts of the harem add up to more than 3000 people. Isn't this free labor?

Not only don't pay, but also all year round. Just give something to eat. It's simply easier to use than slaves.

Among so many people, in addition to the concubines married by the original owner, there are many concubines of the previous emperors, dignitaries, and even commoners with little reputation. On weekdays, these women have nothing to do except gongdou. Then go to work in the clothing factory.

What we need now are raw materials and clothing factory workshops.

It happened that at this time, Zhao Luan came with the food.

"Empress, you came at the right time. I have something important to discuss with you."

Zhao Luan, who has been in ancient times for so long, is the closest person to whom he knows.

"What will the emperor say?"

Wang Zhong said his plan for a while, and then said, "now I need money urgently. Establishing a clothing trade can solve my urgent need."

"That's good."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Luan directly agreed: "the emperor is right. There are so many people in the harem. Anyway, so many people have nothing to do. It's better to let them do something."

"The queen still knows me, so it's settled. I'll solve the problem of raw materials these days."

To make clothes, you need cloth and cotton.

In the Dragon Dynasty (the first world of eunuchs), Wang Chong also opened a clothing factory after calming the world, which can be said to be handy.

"Emperor, I have a way to deal with raw materials. I grow a lot of cotton in my hometown and know a lot of cotton farmers. I can buy it for the emperor. In terms of cloth, I also have candidates, and the price is definitely fair."

"Well, then trouble the queen."

Although it is said that the ancient emperors' families did not make their concubines and queens appear in public, Wang Chong did not have this psychological barrier. After all, people who have been redundant sons in law are afraid of being hairy?

However, before Zhao Luan left the palace, Wang Zhong still let her dress up in Qiaozhuang, and sent several eunuch masters to follow.

When Zhao Luan left the Palace this time, he claimed to be a businesswoman from a rich family. No one knew at all. People in the harem thought Zhao Luan had been living there.

……………………

On the other side, Shen An, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, frowned tightly after leaving the palace.

The emperor unexpectedly let him go to the execution ground to save Li Mingcai!

Li Mingcai has great prestige in the court, even among the people.

In the past, Li Mingcai used to visit LV Zhongbo from time to time. Even he was abused by Li Mingcai.

The members of the Lu party had long regarded Li Mingcai as a serious problem and wanted to kill him immediately.

Therefore, Shen An has a headache and doesn't know what to do next.

After all, the emperor said, if things are bad, take him as a question.

But soon, Shen An suddenly laughed.

"I'm really stupid. It's still far from the execution ground. At that time, I'll slow down and drag him for a while and a half. When the emperor pleads guilty, I'll say I didn't arrive in time. At that time, wouldn't it be good for LV Xiangye to help me with a few good words?"

But to be on the safe side, Shen An called the housemaid, "go to LV Xiangye's house and tell the emperor about saving Li Mingcai, you know?"

"I know, my Lord, I'll do it right away."

"Go."

Watching the servant leave, Shen An rode leisurely towards the execution ground.

…………………………

"Jia Jia............"

He Taigao, in order to quickly complete Wang Chong's order, he Taigao is speeding up, taking six eunuchs who are masters of the interior to the execution ground.

"Get out of the palace!"

Finally, he Taigao brought people to the gate of the capital execution ground.

At the moment, there is no shortage of people surrounded here.

Today is the day when Li Ming, the Minister of the Ministry of household, was beheaded.

Li Mingcai is not an ordinary person. People prefer Li Mingcai as an official to Lu Zhongbo, who is corrupt and perverted in the law.

"Alas, Lord Li was still harmed by the treacherous minister LV Zhongbo. In the future, LV Zhongbo will cover the sky with one hand in the court."

"Lord Li is really pathetic. There will be no officials who ask for orders for the people in the future."

"Get out of here. It's not enough to lose your life if you delay the emperor's affairs!"

The sharp voice came, and the people panicked and hurriedly dodged.

He Taigao didn't think the people were slow to avoid, so he snorted coldly, jumped up from the horse, dodged and stepped on the heads of several people to the center of the execution ground.

"Bold, who dares to trespass on the execution ground?" The supervisor Xing on the high platform shouted loudly.

He Taigao said coldly, "the emperor has ordered that Lord Li's case be in doubt. Stop the execution. Lord Li will be handed over to our family, taken to the palace, and await the punishment."

What, it's the person sent by the emperor!

Hearing this, a group of officials on the high platform changed greatly.

Not afraid of he Taigao, but the execution of Li Mingcai, which was personally explained by Prime Minister LV Zhongbo.

Now the court is up and down, and LV Zhongbo covers the sky with one hand. Who dares to offend him?

Just as most people were about to hand over Li Mingcai, a middle-aged man in the first seat suddenly stood up and said, "execute!"

The man's face was cold, and he Taigao didn't pay attention at all.

"How dare you disobey the emperor's order?" He Taigao pointed to the man and asked.

"The emperor also ordered me to catch the guilty Minister Li Mingcai. This father-in-law, it's not good to fake the imperial edict!"

He Taigao knew that he was an official of the Ministry of punishment and was very close to Lu Zhongbo.

"The emperor really has a clever plan, and knows that our family will be made difficult."

He Taigao snorted coldly and pulled out the Shang's sword: "gentlemen, the Shang's sword is here. If you see the sword, if you see the emperor, you can't kneel down!"

The people on the high platform obviously didn't expect he Taigao to take out this thing. For a moment, his face changed wildly. It seems that the emperor is determined to save Li Mingcai.

"Emperor, long live, long live..."

Ordinary people in the periphery knelt down one after another.

At this time, the people on the high platform had no choice but to kneel down.

"Somebody, untie Lord Li and escort him back to the palace!"

"Yes!"

…………………………

Wang Chong is wandering around the palace with several palace maids at the moment.

He is choosing a good place to be used as a clothing factory.

The area of this place must be large first, and then it must be transparent from left to right, so as to transport goods and materials.

In addition, it is best to have a large open space for toilets.

After all, there are so many people in the clothing factory. You can't run to the West Palace in order to go to the toilet.

As he walked, Wang Chong recalled the terrain in the harem.

Unconsciously, he went farther and farther away.

And at this time, suddenly, a fragrant wind hit, Wang Zhong fixed his eyes on it, and immediately frowned.

Suddenly in front of him was concubine Shen, who had been thrown into a cold palace by him.

At the moment, Shen Fei's eyes were red and she cried, "emperor, I know I'm wrong, just let me go, don't put me in the cold palace, it's too desolate here, sobbing..."

It turned out that although concubine Shen was put in the cold and was not allowed to go in and out, she was thinking about how to leave here all the time.

So she sent a servant girl out to inquire. The servant girl was lucky. After a few steps out, she saw Wang Chong coming here.

After learning that Wang Chong came over, concubine Shen dressed up for the first time, dressed beautifully, and specially smeared some fragrant rouge on her neck, and came here.

Wang Chong was angry at concubine Chen now, frowned and said, "get out of here, I don't want to see you."

"Emperor..."

Concubine Shen knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "I'll die here. Sobbing, my concubine is timid, and I beg the emperor to forgive me."

"Emperor, please let the master go. The temperature in the cold palace is wet and cold. The master has always been weak and is easy to get sick..."

The servant girl beside Princess Shen was also loyal and helped Princess Shen persuade her.

Wang Chongzheng wanted to scold again. At this time, he noticed that he had unconsciously walked to the cold palace.

Compared with the numerous buildings in other parts of the harem, this cold palace is simple.

The key is that the cold palace is very close to the back door of the palace, and there are roads to walk in all directions.

There is also a large space outside the house, which can be used as workers' dining room and public toilet.

It's good to open a clothing factory here!

After making up his mind, Wang Zhong looked at Chen Fei and snorted, "I ask you, are you wrong?"
