I want to ruin the country

Spending money is much easier than asking for money. The most important thing is to ensure that the goods are genuine and the price is reasonable.

This procurement was conducted through an open bidding method assigned to Qian Kang by Yining.

First register, then check the quality of the goods, pay a deposit of varying amounts after passing the inspection, and finally participate in the public bidding!

The process went relatively smoothly. Everyone understood that the money was stained with the emperor's blood, so no one dared to have any big expectations.

After accepting this mission, their superiors all earnestly advised them,

"The Emperor attaches great importance to this mission and specially selected Mr. Qian, who has been on the bench for many years, as the Imperial Envoy because he has an upright heart and is not greedy or opportunistic!

If any of you are planning on doing this, I advise you to forget it. It is better to live the rest of your life peacefully than to have money but no life to spend it all!"

The key is that Qian Kang keeps a close eye on every key link from beginning to end.

He worked tirelessly day and night, and would not consider anything done until he had firsthand knowledge of the real situation.

However, some of the vendors also had evil intentions.

For example, Diao Lixing, a tea merchant in Qiantang, Zhejiang, was caught by Qian Kang for selling inferior tea as high-quality tea.

That's goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Qian Kangzheng is carrying the imperial sword in his hand and going around the world looking for unlucky people to establish his authority!

Diao Lixing gave him this opportunity, but Qian Kang killed him without hesitation, without even giving him a chance to defend himself!

Qian Kang has been at the bottom of society for so many years, so he must know everything that goes on below. Since Diao Lixing, who is on the emperor's errand, dares to do this, one can imagine what kind of person he is!

He ordered,

"check".

Start investigating Diao Lixing from the moment he could speak, and see what bad things he has done?

Diao Lixing really couldn't help but be investigated. All the immoral things he had done since he was a child and how many people he had cheated in business were found out.

Copy the house!

At Qian Kang's command, Diao Lixing's house was raided, and more than two million silver coins and land were seized.

Qian Kang did not execute all of Diao Lixing's family members. He arrested the guilty ones and did not implicate the innocent ones.

Diao Lixing was beheaded, and his head was hung on the city gate by Qian Kang for public display. His body was left there until it rotted, and Qian Kang did not allow his family to collect the body.

Someone advised him,

"Master Qian, since the person has been killed, let the family take the body back and bury it. Does the debt go away after the person dies? Besides, we still have to consider the family's feelings!"

Qian Kang shook his head.

"You are wrong. This is an assignment personally appointed by the Emperor. It is a major undertaking for the Emperor to revitalize the country. It concerns the national economy and the people's livelihood. Who dares to slack off?

Moreover, this imperial envoy has repeatedly warned you not to reach out and not to deceive the emperor!

But he insisted on testing the speed of the emperor's sword. Who could he blame?

If this trend isn't stopped and everyone starts doing this, even if we work ourselves to death, we still won't be able to complete our tasks! I, Qian Kang, will never be redeemed!

Speaking of family members' feelings, I, Qian Kang, have a different opinion. Did Diao Lixing spend all the money he earned on himself?

Of course not, his family must have benefited from it!

Not to mention that his wife and children can now live a life of luxury and be surrounded by pearls and jade, even his descendants can enjoy his blessings!

Since you are able to benefit from this, you must be prepared to bear all the bad consequences!

I didn't let them collect the body, so I could let those who harbored such thoughts see with their own eyes what happens when you deceive the imperial court!"

The imperial envoy's right to execute first and report later was not given for nothing. This shocked everyone. It was really a killing!

Compared to being beheaded, silver doesn't seem that important. Besides, the price Qian Kang offers is very fair. As long as you are honest and trustworthy, you can still make a lot of money!

Except those who were beheaded by Qian Kang himself,

It must be said that Guan Shuming, Zhang Jingfei, Zhao Shan and the other six people also made great contributions.

It was Guan Shuming who discovered Diao Lixing's case. After completing the task, Qian Kang reported their performance to Yining.

Yining did not treat them unfairly. In addition to promotions, each of them was rewarded with two thousand taels of silver. Guan Shuming had the greatest contribution and was rewarded with three thousand taels.

In addition to being grateful to the emperor, these people were also grateful to Qian Kang. It was Qian Kang who gave them the opportunity to succeed.

They were rewarded by the emperor, but the Qiantang prefect and Qiantang county magistrate were reported by Qian Kang.

The reason is because of Diao Lixing.

You are all aware of his bad reputation in the local area, yet you still recommended him during the primary election. Who would believe you if you said there was no benefit?

The emperor's reply was also very quick, and he hurried to the capital to let Wang Jindou have a good talk with them.

Yining issued another decree, appointing Guan Shuming as the acting prefect of Qiantang after the purchase was completed.

Guan Shuming was almost crying. It turned out that all his hard work was just for himself. All the tiredness and grievances he had suffered disappeared into thin air.

In addition to Diao Lixing being killed, it was inevitable that some merchants would cheat on weights and inflate prices. Fortunately, Qian Kang discovered them in time and dealt with them without mercy.

Not only was it dealt with, the goods were also confiscated.

This scared everyone silly. The imperial envoy was decisive and ruthless, so he must be serious. It would be better not to try any tricks. No one wants to do something that will only end up with more than what they gain, not to mention that it might even cost them their lives!

Half a month later, all the bidding work was completed. The next step was for the winning bidder to organize the supply of goods and ship them to the Fujian port.

Transportation is a problem now. There is no mechanization at all and everything has to be carried on shoulders or by people.

Fortunately, Jiangnan is densely populated with waterways, so shipping is possible. Water transportation is much faster than land transportation.

Moreover, officials from several provinces knew that this was the emperor's mission, and with the governor-general and Qian Kang watching closely, no one would dare to joke with their own heads, so they tried their best to organize manpower and material resources to ensure transportation.

Isn't there no mechanization? Our country has a large population. Not to mention paying wages, even if we don't pay them, if the government asks you to work, you won't go. Do you dare?

In this way, with the efforts of four provinces, more than three million taels of silver worth of porcelain, more than five million taels of silver worth of silk, and more than five million taels of silver worth of tea arrived at Nantai Port in Fujian in more than a month.

To be honest, if Qian Kang hadn't had the strong support of local officials such as Ji Zhichang and Zhao Dezhe, he would not have been able to complete the task in such a short time even if he had three heads and six arms.

Of course, Ji Zhichang and Zhao Dezhe also understood that if they failed in this mission, they would definitely suffer the consequences. They still had the ability to seek benefits and avoid harm!

Qiao Sansheng and Lu Yaxuan also arrived one after another!

Although he was planning to open a bank, Qiao Sansheng also prepared goods worth one or two million silver coins, and he would make as much money as he could!

Lu Yaxuan had a lot of goods. He and the emperor had a total capital of 10 million silver coins, and he purchased goods worth more than 9 million.

The four provinces of Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian received 25 million taels of silver in a short period of time, which greatly stimulated the development of the local economy.

Not only did it help the people get through the spring panic, but it also brought prosperity to the country.
