At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"I don't care whether this is a guest house awarded by His Majesty. We have the imperial censor's handwritten order to arrest the relatives of the traitors." Sun Chao took out the imperial censor's handwritten order.

But Wuming didn't even glance at it, and ignored the imperial edict and said, "I don't care whether he is the censor or not, and I don't care whether Mr. Ren is hiding the relatives of the rebels. I only know that if you want to go in and arrest people, you must have the imperial edict from His Majesty."

"General, you are defying Han laws!!!" Sun Chao's eyes widened. He did not expect that Wuming, relying on his status as the commander of the emperor's guards, would be so arrogant.

"Are you going to defy the Emperor?" Wuming glared fearlessly.

Sun Chao was immediately frightened. The crime of contempt for the Emperor was much more serious than contempt for Han laws.

This Wuming defied Han laws and could at most be thrown into prison, not sentenced to death. However, defying the Emperor would be punishable by death.

"I dare not." Sun Chao immediately became timid.

"Humph, you better not dare."

and also.

"When will it be the turn of the Censorate to catch traitors? Shouldn't this be the responsibility of the Yanwei Mansion?" Wuming frowned and asked.

"Although the task of catching the rebel is under the jurisdiction of the Yanwei Mansion, the rebel was previously a centurion in Anyang County. This matter should be directly handled by the Censorate." Sun Chao explained hurriedly.

"In this case, please go back and report to the Censor. If he wants to enter Ren's mansion to arrest people, please report to His Majesty." Wuming continued.

"Yes." Sun Chao nodded in agreement.

After Sun Chao led the imperial guards away in disgrace, Wuming looked at Ren Hao speechlessly and said, "My Master Ren, how come you are getting more and more daring now? You even dare to shelter and hide the relatives of the rebels."

"General Wu, this matter involves deep implications and injustice. It is not what you think." Ren Hao shook his head and told Wuming the whole cause and effect of the matter.

When Wuming heard that the matter involved the Li family, the foreign relative, and that ministers from the court were also involved, he immediately frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

If it were just the external relatives who were bullying the people in the county, then it wouldn't matter.

This kind of thing was common in previous dynasties.

But the key mistake in this matter is that retired veterans are being exploited.

In addition to caring about the war front, His Majesty the Emperor is most concerned about the resettlement of those meritorious officials.

The national treasury was empty every year, but when it came to placing meritorious officials in positions of power, the emperor was never stingy and rewarded them as he saw fit.

If you have no money and no land, you have to rack your brains to get it.

But now these bastards have even stretched out their greedy hands to the meritorious officials. If His Majesty the Emperor knew about this, he would probably kill all these people even if it meant breaking the balance of the court.

"Hey." Wuming sighed secretly, and pointed to the carriages parked outside the mansion: "Master Ren, this is the first batch of tin coins minted by Chen Yin and his brothers. There are more than 30,000 tin coins minted, and more than 10,000 copper coins destroyed."

Since Ren Hao wanted to increase the production of tin coins, Chen Yin's ability alone was obviously not enough.

So Chen Yin took out the tin refining technology and asked Wuming to find a dozen of his trusted confidants to work with him to refine tin for casting.

Since tin ore is nowhere to be found and the refining technology is not perfect, it cannot be quenched directly from copper, so it can only be made using the method of making one thousand and three hundred.

"You all have worked hard. I will treat you brothers to some wine and meat later." Ren Hao nodded and started to reward you with words.

This made Wuming curl his lips. They had enough wine and meat to eat and drink every day in the kiln, so what they lacked was a salary increase.

"Forget about the wine and meat. Master Ren, please give us some hard work compensation when the time comes."

"The brothers work in the kiln day and night, either refining wine or extracting tin to mint coins. It's really hard." Wuming described to Ren Hao.

Seeing Wuming's miserable look, Ren Hao just laughed and responded to Wuming's request with practical action.

He asked Cai Lun to take out five hundred copper coins from the cellar as a reward for his hard work.

"Mr. Ren is very generous and magnanimous. I would like to thank him on behalf of my brothers." Wuming smiled and bowed to Ren Hao.

He had no choice but to seek some benefits from Ren Hao. After all, he couldn't ask the Emperor for such things.

After all, His Majesty the Emperor is still worried about having no money every day.

"You all move these boxes into Master Ren's cellar, and then put all the copper coins on the cart." After Wuming gave his instructions to his subordinates, he followed a subordinate to lift a large box.

While the Ren Mansion was busy unloading and loading money, Li Shiji, who had returned to the mansion, went straight to find his father Li Shu.

Although Li Shu was the emperor's uncle, he never attended court and had no real power. His daily life was simple, consisting of eating, drinking and having fun, and he created many half-brothers and sisters for Li Shiji.

At this time, Li Shu was in the garden, feeding fish with his maid, and had no idea that Li Shiji was standing behind him.

Li Shiji couldn't bear to listen to the dirty words his father said to the little maid, so he coughed twice, which made Li Shu stop.

"Second Young Master." The little maid greeted Li Shiji.

"You go down first." Li Shiji waved his hand, and the concubine left consciously, leaving Li Shu alone.

As soon as Li Shu picked up the teacup, Li Shiji snatched it away and said, "Dad, can you be more reliable? Aren't those concubines at home pleasing enough for you? You still want to seduce the maids in the mansion."

"What's the point of flirting? I'm just admiring you." Li Shu snatched the teacup from Li Shiji's hand and took a sip.

"Okay, okay, okay. I hope your appreciation won't give me another brother or sister." Li Shiji was so helpless that he had a headache. There were so many brothers and sisters in the mansion that he couldn't even remember their names.

"You haven't even gotten married yet, but you're already controlling your father."

"If you really want to criticize me, why don't you marry a few first?" Li Shu began to lecture, which made Li Shiji interrupt and get straight to the point: "Let's talk about my marriage later. I have something important to ask you today."

"Big thing? What big thing?" Li Shu was suddenly stunned.

"Anyang Li family, do you know?" Li Shiji asked.

"How could I not know this? He is our clan brother." Li Shu nodded, and told Li Shiji that he should follow the seniority and he still had to call him Third Uncle.

"Dad, did you help the tyrant?" Li Shiji suddenly asked with a serious face.

Helping the tyrants to do evil?

Li Shu was immediately confused by Li Shiji's questions, and felt that Li Shiji thought too highly of him.
