Chapter 58: Punishing without teaching is cruelty (seeking monthly tickets and follow-up reading)

The palace hall.

Xiao Dashan said, "Your Majesty, why don't you buy a few orphans?"

Qin Changge shook his head. "No, these orphans have unknown origins. Who knows if they are spies?"

Xiao Dashan said: "Then choose a local honest family with clear connections."

"No, no," Qin Changge shook his head. "If their family members are held hostage and asked to poison me, then I'm doomed."

Xiao Dashan said speechlessly: "Then what do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Qin Changge thought for a moment and looked at Xiao Dashan, "Dashan, I think washing clothes, cooking, sweeping the floor, and cleaning the nightshade are not that difficult. Why don't you try?"

Xiao Dashan: "..."

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Dashan said, "Your Highness, if you're like this, then I'll have to resign. After all, I'm a fifth-rank official appointed by the imperial court! When I go to the prefectures and counties, everyone will call me Master!"

"Then let's hire someone." Qin Changge said, "I'll take care of it myself!"

……

……

royal palace.

Ministry of Internal Affairs.

At this time, Emperor Yongchang Qin Chang'an came here in person.

The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department was startled, thinking that Qin Changan was coming to check the accounts.

"Your Majesty," Xiao Han, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, bowed respectfully.

"Ah."

Qin Chang'an was accompanied by King Wu Qin Changxiao and King An Qin Changliu.

"Have the tributes from the vassal kings been delivered?" Qin Changan asked.

"Your Majesty, they've all been delivered," Xiao Han, the head steward of the Imperial Household Department, quickly replied. "They're over here. Please follow me."

"Lead the way." Qin Changan said.

Xiao Han, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, brought Qin Changan, Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu to the place where the tribute was stored.

At this time, a large number of boxes were marked with their origins.

A gift from King Liang.

A gift from the King of Shu.

A gift from the King of Jin.

A gift from Prince Ning.

A gift from the King of Zhou.

"Open them," Qin Changan ordered.

Xiao Han, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, quickly opened all the boxes, and for a moment, the whole room was bright.

These boxes are filled with all kinds of treasures that are priceless. They just need to be counted and sent to the royal treasury.

"The things sent by the second, fifth and eighth brothers are obviously of a higher quality." Qin Changxiao understood at a glance.

Qin Changge and Qin Changhe, two poor guys, only gave gifts that were just enough to pass the test.

Qin Changan glanced at the tributes and said calmly, "Second brother, fifth brother, and eighth brother, on the first day of their appointment, they already took control of the military power of the vassal king. They are truly conscientious."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of King Wu Qin Changxiao and King An Qin Changliu both darkened.

Obviously, Qin Changqing and his men were so eager to seize military power that they were definitely preparing for a rebellion.

Emperor Yongchang Qin Chang'an had previously spoken to them in a gentle manner, asking them not to rebel and to be content with being vassal kings, but they simply didn't listen.

"Then..." Qin Changxiao looked at Qin Changan. Does that mean Qin Changan is also going to take action?
Qin Chang'an looked at the tribute and said calmly, "The tributes from the Kings of Jin, Ning, and Zhou were adulterated. They will be fined one year's salary and ordered to prepare new tributes immediately. If they do it again, they will be severely punished!"

"……Yes."

Xiao Han, the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, was shocked. Of course, these treasures were real.

However, Emperor Yongchang Qin Chang'an was the true emperor. Since he said it was fake, then these tributes naturally became fake.

Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu were a little surprised when they heard this.

"That's nothing. This amount of money is a bit of a pressure for the sixth and ninth brothers, but it shouldn't bother the second brother and the others, right?" Qin Changxiao was puzzled.

Qin Changan said calmly, "To punish without teaching is cruelty. I hope this will make my second brother and the others realize their mistake."

Upon hearing this, Qin Changxiao and Qin Changliu suddenly realized that it was to give Qin Changqing and the others another chance.

……

...Prince Liang’s Mansion, at the main gate.

Qin Changan and Xiao Dashan set up a table and put up a flag with the words "Recruiting servants and maids" written on it.

At this time, a large group of people came to line up.

Xiao Dashan asked curiously, "Your Highness, shouldn't you normally go find a tooth?"

Qin Changge said expressionlessly: "The innkeeper should be killed even if he is innocent!"

Xiao Dashan was speechless. When did Qin Changge become so murderous?

"Your Highness, that was in the past. The people of our Great Qin were simple and honest, without such bad habits." Xiao Dashan reminded.

Emperor Shengwu Qin Tianlai was quite powerful. His civil and military skills were among the best among the countless dynasties in history.

Of course, the main reason is that Qin Tianlai is invincible, the officials are honest, and the people live comfortably.

"Then why is there still a demon sect?" Qin Changge asked.

Xiao Dashan was speechless. "Maybe they came from the Han or Chu side?"

"Let's not talk about this." Qin Changge rolled his eyes at Xiao Dashan, and then looked at the old man in front of him who came to apply for the job.

"Eliminate!" Qin Changge waved his hand to drive him away.

The old man was a little surprised, "Your Highness, I have thirty years of experience as a housekeeper."

"I'm sorry I'm so ugly." Qin Changge said expressionlessly.

The old man opened his mouth and had no choice but to leave.

Xiao Dashan also nodded, "Although, I also agree with this reason."

The next moment, a beautiful woman came in front of Qin Changge and cast a coquettish glance at him.

"Your Highness, I can serve tea, play the piano, play chess, write calligraphy, paint, warm the bed, and make the quilt. I know how to do anything."

"Eliminate!" Qin Changge stretched out his hand to drive the man away without saying a word.

The beautiful woman was a little surprised, "I am... also ugly?"

Xiao Dashan also looked at Qin Changge in confusion.

Qin Changge said expressionlessly, "She's so beautiful, why would she need to be a servant? It's obvious she has bad intentions, so get rid of her!"

The beautiful woman bit her lip and left with a look of grievance on her face.

Xiao Dashan nodded, and then was speechless. "Your Highness, if she's too ugly, you don't want her. If she's too beautiful, you don't want her either. This is too much to ask."

At this time, a strong man appeared in front of Qin Changge.

"Your Highness, I can do anything from emptying the nightshade to sweeping the floor," the man said.

Qin Changge waved his hand and said, "Eliminate!"

The man was a little surprised.

Xiao Dashan looked at Qin Changge in confusion.

Qin Changge said, "He looks too good and a big threat. Eliminate him!"

Xiao Dashan was speechless and said, "Your Majesty, you are invincible below the third rank. Are you afraid of a mortal?"

"Eliminated!" Qin Changge ignored Xiao Dashan.

"disuse!"

"disuse!"

Xiao Dashan said speechlessly: "Your Majesty, why don't you let me do this job? No one else can do it if you do it."

Qin Changge thought about it and realized the same thing, then took out a specially made talisman that looked like a grape.

"This is a talisman I specially developed. After taking it, it will be fixed near the heart. As long as I activate the talisman, it will explode!"

Qin Changge nodded and said, "Let the new servant take this, and his safety will be guaranteed."

Xiao Dashan was a little surprised when he heard this, "Your Highness, I'm just here to work, not to risk my life."

Qin Changge smiled and said, "Then don't tell them, just say it's grapes!"

Xiao Dashan nodded.

The next moment, the two raised their heads and saw that the long queue of applicants was now empty.

"Have all the people today been eliminated? Let's continue tomorrow." Qin Changge said.

Xiao Dashan frowned, "Your Majesty, our reputation has been ruined. I'm afraid no one will apply for the job in the future."
