Chapter 11

Lin Beifan opened the Empire Sandbox and saw that it was indeed so.

He hated speculation and profiteering the most, especially those who took advantage of the nations chaos to hike up the prices of daily necessities, making a fortune from the war, causing the people to suffer and the country to be unstable. It was simply outrageous!

Lin Beifan brought up the matter in the court and asked, My loyal subjects, do you have any good strategies?

This The officials looked at each other, not daring to speak rashly.

At this moment, a senior official mustered the courage to ask, Your Majesty, what are your thoughts?

Lin Beifan said furiously, During times of national turmoil, there are those who speculate and hoard, creating scarcity and disrupting the market for the common people. They are vermin to the state and must be eradicated. Otherwise, it is not enough to appease the rage of the common people!

The officials were all shocked and dismayed, Your Majesty, you must not do this!

These merchants come from influential noble families in the surrounding dynasties, with formidable backgrounds. We must not offend them lightly! If we take action, the consequences are unimaginable!

Yes, Your Majesty, our country is poor in resources and materials, and we rely on them for many goods! If we offend them, our trade will be blockaded, and the impact will be enormous!

These noble families still have members holding official positions within the dynasty, with connections spread throughout the realm. They truly must not be offended!

Moreover, once this starts, no one will come to do business with us anymore!

Lin Beifan exclaimed furiously, Are we to let them ride roughshod over us?

Your Majesty, perhaps consider this! an elderly minister suggested.

Why not send someone to give them a warning first to make them lower their prices? If that doesnt work, then we can think of other methods!

Lin Beifan declared loudly, Good! I will give them a chance! Send someone immediately, and I will wait for the news right here!

The other partys complexion struggled, and then he removed his official hat, saying, Your servant chooses to resign and retire to my hometown!

Lin Beifan clapped his hands and exclaimed, Good! I grant your request! Pack up your things and get out at once. I do not wish to see you again. Our Xia Kingdom has no need for a cowardly person like you!

Yes, Your Majesty! The other party bowed again and then left with a faltering gait.

Another high-ranking court official had been dismissed, and the entire court, both civil and military, was silent as if chilled, daring not to speak further.

The man has gone, but the work still needs to be done!

Lin Beifan said with a smile, Who among you brave souls is willing to share my worries? Whoever handles this matter well, I will appoint him as the new Minister of Revenue!

Just then, a handsome Imperial Guard suddenly stepped forward.

He bowed to Lin Beifan with his hands clasped together and said respectfully, This humble servant wishes to alleviate Your Majestys concerns. Please grant this humble servant an opportunity!

Lin Beifan was taken aback.

An Imperial Guard, who was skilled in the martial arts, actually dared to step forward and take on this troublesome task?

This person piqued Lin Beifans interest.

Lin Beifan asked with a smile, I greatly admire your courage. What is your name, and what is your background?

The man replied loudly, Your Majesty, this humble servant is named Heshen. I have been in the palace for over three years and possess the strength of a first-rate master. Currently, I serve as an Imperial Guard before Your Majesty!
