System, help me become the empress

Chapter 97
In the blink of an eye, it's the end of August, Yushufang.

Xu Youxi was writing the memorial, when there was a knock on the door, it was Jin Yiwei Yu Xue Jing who came.

Xu Youxi put down the memorial at hand, and asked casually, "Master Yu, how is the land of Shu?"

"Your Majesty, the King of Shu has not shown any abnormalities for the time being." Yu Xue Jinghui reported.

"How can there be no difference?" Xu Youxi frowned, "I arranged for the patriarch to inspect the land of Shu, and asked the Shenji Camp to send two teams of elite soldiers to guard the two vital gates of the land of Shu. If you change the vassal, you will probably be angry at this time Crazy, do you have to go to Shangjing to ask me for an explanation?"

Hearing Xu Youxi's mention, Yu Xuejing also felt that the King of Shu was indeed a little too calm.

However, according to his many years of experience, he generally doesn't need to speak at this time, and His Majesty can ask and answer by himself.

"Let the Shenji Battalion prepare for the battle. I will go over to review the 'three-stage' style of play in the near future. Also, I will tell Teng Xuesheng that if there is any change in the Shu area, the Shenji Battalion will send troops as the main force to suppress it at any time."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, Master Yu." Xu Youxi was curious, "I saw that you Jin Yiwei often have golden sore medicine on your body. Where are these medicines on your body prepared? Is it the same as the medicine prepared by the army when fighting?"

"Your Majesty, every time before the army goes to war, they will purchase a large number of medicines for golden sores from the people, but the specific efficacy of the medicine still depends on the quality of the medicine and the doctor's ability. Of course, if there is a familiar imperial physician in the palace, some people will also be in trouble. The Imperial Physician helped to prepare a few bottles, and the bottle of golden sore medicine on my body was prepared by the Imperial Hospital." Yu Xuejing explained.

"Is there a big difference in the effect of the golden sore medicine prepared by the imperial doctor and the golden sore medicine purchased by the people?"

Yu Xuejing paused for a moment: "The ingredients of the medicine for golden sores are similar, the main thing is to combine the quality of the medicine and the dosage that the doctor can control by himself."

"Okay, I got it. Also, have any major events happened in the court or among the people recently?"

Yu Xuejing thought for a moment: "There is one thing, but it shouldn't be too difficult to solve."

"I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter that you can take the initiative to mention."

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Hangzhou area has not been very peaceful recently, and there are always bandits making trouble."

"When did it start?"

Xu Youxi suddenly became interested.

"Around Mid-Autumn Festival." Yu Xue Jing replied.

"What kind of trouble method is it?"

Yu Xuejing recalled: "The cause of the incident seems to be that the goods of a rich merchant in Hangzhou were robbed by bandits the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he reported it to the government in anger. The local government attached great importance to it and immediately ordered everyone under it to do everything possible There is no way to investigate the case. After several visits, the government found that the goods lost by the rich businessman were basically found in the slums.”

"Stealing from the rich and helping the poor?" Xu Youxi understood.

"Yes. After the investigation by the Hangzhou government, it is basically certain that the gang of rogues will distribute most of the goods to the local poor after they rob the goods. The government thought it was just a coincidence, but they did not expect that the rogues had no intentions. Xiao, in the next few days, he committed many crimes in a row, and none of them missed."

Xu Youxi frowned tightly: "None of them missed? Were the criminals all wealthy businessmen?"

"Yes, this is also something that I find strange. After the rich merchants near Hangzhou knew the existence of the rogues, they were all cautious. Some even found a few escort agencies to transport the goods, but it didn't work. Ordinary rogues may not be able to do this." Powerful, and the frequency of their actions is too high, ordinary country rogues would do a fortune and rest a fortune, and they would not commit crimes frequently at all."

"So Master Yu suspects that these gangsters have undergone special training?"

"Yes."

"Do these rogues help the poor every time they rob?" Xu Youxi continued to ask.

"Yes."

Xu Youxi thought for a while: "How does the government deal with these treasures circulating in poor areas?"

"Of course I want it back and return it to the original owner." Master Yu took it for granted.

"There's always someone who doesn't like it, right?"

"Then we can only act in accordance with the law, and if we insist on not paying back, we will forcibly put the person in the yamen and torture him with sticks."

Xu Youxi pursed her lips, and casually checked the basic data of the prefect of Hangzhou in the system.

【Prefect of Hangzhou: Ye Chengdui】

Integrity: 46%; Efficiency: 23%; Loyalty: 58%; Policy: 38%
The magistrate's data looks pretty bad.

It's fine if you're not clean enough, but you don't have much ability.

"Your Majesty, do you need me to send someone to Hangzhou to assist the local magistrate in dealing with the bandits?" Seeing that Xu Youxi had been silent for a long time, Yu Xuejing added another sentence.

"Let Teng Xuesheng send a hundred firearms soldiers to Hangzhou to suppress." Xu Youxi said soberly.

"Your Majesty, they are just some rogues, do you need to mobilize them so much?"

Xu Youxi sneered: "If these gangsters are vicious, then I really am not afraid of them. But from now on, it seems that these gangsters have a lot of thoughts, and they dare to seek fame as well as money."

Yu Xuejing was obviously a little bit more astonished: "...Your Majesty, do you suspect that these gangsters want to become king?"

"I'm a little suspicious." Xu Youxi also had some thoughts in his mind, "These bandits seem to be robbing the rich and helping the poor, but in fact, the wealth donated by them will be taken away by the government soon. The most unlucky ones are these poor people. I thought I could get rid of my fate, but in reality I was thrown into the abyss again and again."

"I speculate that these gangsters intend to make the poor in Hangzhou feel hatred for the government, so as to use these people to be their help when they cause the turmoil in Hangzhou."

Following Xu Youxi's train of thought, Yu Xuejing analyzed: "Although Hangzhou is a place of prosperity, it is definitely not a place for military strategists to win. Even if these people become kings in Hangzhou, it will not be too difficult for the court to suppress them. Are these people so stupid that they will die? ?”

"On the tenth day of August, I decided to send troops to guard the Mingmen of Shu. These bandits appeared in Hangzhou without warning within a few days. Can I doubt that this is also one of the tactics used by the King of Shu to resist me?"

"Your Majesty thinks they are rogues sent by the King of Shu?"

When Yu Xue Jing asked this question, he didn't believe it in his heart, he felt that the relationship seemed a bit far-fetched.

"It's possible. Let's take a look at these rogues first, and let's talk about whether they will be king in a few days."

Xu Youxi thought of things from the perspective of the king of Shu. If the king of Shu had the ambition to conquer the world, he would be very angry when the new emperor sent troops to block the two vital gates of Shu. Is Xindi also looking for trouble?
It's just a good time to try to see what kind of troops the new emperor has in his hands. If he wants to send troops to rebel, he has a few chances of winning.

As for these rogues, unless they become kings, it will be difficult for Shangjing to pay attention, let alone force the emperor to send his own soldiers to solve the problem.

If the emperor does not send out his own soldiers, how can the king of Shu get a chance to test it?
Okay.

If someone wanted to see it, Xu Youxi let them see clearly that the firearms of the Shenji Camp are not easy to bully.

"The minister obeys the order."

"Anything else?"

Yu Xuejing paused: "Not anymore."

"Okay. Then when your lord goes out, help me call all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital to the meeting hall. I have something to ask them."
