Chapter 763 Long Live the Emperor! (33)
Yu Muhuai proposed a number of measures related to people's livelihood and development.

We will vigorously support both domestic and international trade activities. Domestically, we will encourage products from the southeastern coastal areas to be sold inland, and internationally, we will encourage merchants to trade with foreign countries.

To this end, Yu Muhuai opened all coastal ports, attracting many foreign merchants, caravans and merchant ships, making the southeastern coastal area extremely busy.

The coastal economy drives the national economy, and the development of some areas drives the development of the whole country.

The Kingdom of Cong is vast and rich in resources, with many products waiting to be developed.

Yu Muhuai pointed out some previously overlooked places and ordered people to go and develop and mine them.

This includes mineral resources in many impoverished inland areas, which have boosted the economies of those regions.

The goods were then sold both domestically and internationally.

Boosting domestic demand can cause wealth from the prosperous southeast to flow to the inland areas, alleviating the financial burden on impoverished inland regions and creating a more balanced national finances.

Strengthening exports can not only make the country money, but also prevent it from closing itself off from the world.

In his previous life, Wan Zhixin also had this idea, and he had been actively learning new knowledge from abroad.

However, he was overwhelmed by too many domestic problems and had no energy to manage many external affairs.

In addition, his own thinking was somewhat limited, and he was hesitant to act, so he could only put aside all kinds of money-making ideas.

By increasing production and developing trade, the country will gradually become wealthy.

When the country and its people have money, the military will be well-equipped.

If military pay, food, weapons, and other necessities are guaranteed, the country will be stable and will not fear foreign invasion.

During the development of the Cong Kingdom, the once-powerful peasant uprising army in Northeast China gradually disappeared.

Yu Muhuai only tried to suppress a few groups of leaders at the very beginning. Later, he didn't need to put in much effort anymore. As people's lives stabilized, those rebel armies became insignificant.

Dong Yunxiang, the most famous and influential leader of the peasant uprising in the past, died several years ago.

His son, Dong Dingkun, has changed his name to Xiao Dingkun.

Yu Muhuai was very generous, bestowing an official position upon Xiao Dingkun and entrusting him with the responsibility of leading an army.

As it turns out, this man, who fought to the last moment for the Cong Kingdom in his previous life, is still a trustworthy general in this life.

Xiao Dingkun led his troops and cooperated with Qin Hansheng's Qin army to quell the internal strife in Northeast China within a few years.

However, Yu Muhuai was not the kind of benevolent person who would wait for others to turn back to the right path. She spared none of the remaining leaders of the rebel army, and had Xiao Qin and the other two find an opportunity to kill them all.

Not everyone can be as loyal as Xiao Dingkun.

Most people, once they become leaders of a rebellion, can never truly be persuaded to surrender.

During this time, Yu Muhuai took the opportunity to find a pretext to deal with the Prince of Pingnan.

Because of his past military exploits, the Prince of Pingnan was not a member of the royal family, but was enfeoffed as a prince of a different surname.

An important fiefdom in the southwest region belonged to the Prince of Pingnan.

In his previous life, King Pingnan surrendered to the Jian Kingdom long ago and then joined forces with the enemy to attack the Cong Kingdom.

The situation in the Northeast and Northwest was already dire, and now the rebellious King Pingnan had emerged in the Southwest, making things even worse for the Cong Kingdom.

After Wan Zhixin's suicide, the Prince of Pingnan pressed on, using his advantages to capture many members of the former Cong Kingdom's royal family.

This includes not only those in the palace, but also all the relatives who have branched out from the founding of the Cong Kingdom.

Even those he had no connection with in ordinary times, and those with extremely distant blood ties, were not spared by the Prince of Pingnan.

He also found out some people who were stranded, fleeing, or living in hiding, and then brutally murdered them.

Even the servants who fled with the royal family members could not escape their fate.

The Prince of Pingnan knew he was a traitor, so he decided to eliminate his former master to prevent future troubles.

This is an extremely cruel and ruthless person.

Wan Zhixin deeply resented him, but was powerless to do anything about it. Yu Muhuai, of course, wouldn't let him off the hook either.

She wasn't planning to kill the baby in the cradle, but rather to prevent him from even becoming an egg.

It wouldn't be difficult to find fault with the Prince of Pingnan; even if there wasn't, they could simply frame him.

Three years after the peace agreement was reached, the Prince of Pingnan was arrested and imprisoned on charges of plotting a rebellion.

Under the harsh torture in prison, the Prince of Pingnan, who was not exactly a tough guy, had no choice but to confess to his crimes.

Treason is the most serious crime punishable by death.

Yu Muhuai ordered the execution of nine generations of his family.

Since the founding of the Cong Kingdom, the number of people whose entire families were exterminated was very small.

However, Yu Muhuai believed that the Prince of Pingnan deserved this honor.

In his previous life, he offered almost no resistance and betrayed his country early on, indicating that he harbored malicious intentions and had planned to do so for a long time.

Yu Muhuai felt that it was not a mistake to act now.

The Prince of Pingnan and his nine clans were escorted to the capital and executed.

Before his execution, Yu Muhuai went to see him.

Not long ago, Prince Pingnan was tortured so badly in prison that he was barely recognizable. Although he has not been tortured these past few days, the long journey has been quite arduous.

At this time, the Prince of Pingnan was emaciated and in a sorry state.

Upon seeing Yu Muhuai, the Prince of Pingnan's only remaining eye immediately flashed with hatred.

To have achieved his current status, the Prince of Pingnan is undoubtedly a shrewd and astute individual.

The evidence used to frame him was not entirely convincing, and the decision-making power actually rested with the emperor.

If the emperor is willing to spare him, he can live.

If you want him dead, he'll have to go to hell.

So the emperor actually wanted to exterminate his entire family.

"Your Majesty." The Prince of Pingnan's voice was extremely hoarse, and it was difficult to recognize his former tone.

Li De'en placed a chair outside the prison bars, and Yu Muhuai sat down leisurely, looking at the Prince of Pingnan with a relaxed air.

She raised her chin, as if to say, "Speak your mind."

"Your Majesty, why do you treat your subject like this?"

Yu Muhuai rested one hand on the back of the chair, propped his chin up, and looked at the Prince of Pingnan.

Li De'en was very sensible; he had already asked all irrelevant people around to leave, giving Yu Muhuai a space to speak freely.

She said calmly, "Does my dear minister know what it means to be prepared for a rainy day?"

The Prince of Pingnan's pupils contracted sharply, and he rushed forward, gripping the cold iron railing tightly.

The chains fastening his ankles screeched as he moved violently.

"Your Majesty, I do not know!!"

Yu Muhuai smiled faintly, his smile extremely cold and indifferent.

“Prince Pingnan, I often have a dream. In the dream, the Kingdom of Cong is gradually declining, while the army of the Kingdom of Jian and the peasant army are becoming more and more unstoppable.”

"And you, King Pingnan, should have sent troops to support our army, but instead you changed course halfway and colluded with the Jian Kingdom, annihilating the entire Cong Kingdom army that was sent to fight."
