We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

Huang Jin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and fled from the Ten Kings' Mansion in a flash.

This Sixth Prince is so fucking weird!

"Your Majesty is very active in combating corruption, but how can I make money easily? This time, this brat actually extorted most of my family fortune!" Huang Jin's heart was bleeding, but he couldn't help but feel relieved. "Fortunately, this Sixth Prince only cares about money. He didn't force me to take sides like the other princes..."

After Huang Jin left, Li Che grabbed the booklet and opened it impatiently.

Hahaha, talents, all of them! My cheap father has given me a big gift this time!

With this list of officials, combined with the original body's memories, it is enough to pick out a group of talented people who can be of great use.

However, how to get these people is a problem.

The reason why Emperor Qing gave the list to himself was actually a test.

Given the original body's reputation, it is highly likely that the other party would not agree to recruit him as an official.

The pressure was too great, and they would rather resign than go to that bitter and cold place with me.

What should I do? Visit him three times? Use coercion and bribery? Or should I use my heart and reason with him, with tears in my eyes?

Li Che felt that these methods were too troublesome.

Since I have decided to go to the Northeast to make a name for myself, I might as well learn from the Northeast King named Zhang.

Three visits to my thatched cottage? Coercion and bribery? Damn it, I don’t have the time for that!

I’ll just grab it!

"Qiu Bai!"

"What are your instructions, Your Highness?!" Qiu Bai bowed.

"Go to the camp and find fifty brothers who are skilled and familiar with the city. Come meet me here."

"I'll do it right away." Qiu Bai didn't ask any more questions and took the order and left.

Li Che looked at Uncle Yang again: "Uncle Yang, I'll ask you to help deal with those things outside the door, as well as the things that old dog Huang Jin gave me as a filial gift."

"It's still the same old rules. Sell all those extravagant things and exchange them for the food, seeds, medicinal herbs, and tools on the list."

"Don't worry, Your Highness." Uncle Yang bowed and retreated.

The two of them left the side hall one after another. Li Che's gaze returned to the booklet again, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Come on, let me see which lucky person will have the opportunity to follow me to the Northeast to do something big!"

. . . . . .

In less than half an hour, Li Che came out from the side hall, holding a brand new list in his hand.

There was a crowd of people standing outside the door.

The criminals washed, changed their clothes, and had a full meal. Finally, they no longer looked like death row prisoners, but had more of the temperament of soldiers.

Seeing Li Che coming out, everyone came forward to greet him, and some even knelt down and kowtowed to pay their respects.

Li Che frowned. These people had very poor discipline and needed to be trained properly when given the chance.

"Alright, alright, everyone, get up." Li Che sat down against the doorstep without any image. "How was your rest?"

"I've eaten and drunk enough and taken a bath, all thanks to Your Highness. I haven't felt so comfortable in years!" A man with a rough voice immediately responded.

Li Che looked at the person who spoke: "I remember you, the bandit leader Wang Sanchun, right?"

Wang Sanchun was shocked: "Your Highness can actually call out my name."

Li Che smiled but said nothing. He certainly couldn't remember everyone's name, but he could still remember those with great abilities.

But in the eyes of many criminals, it was completely different. The fact that a prince could remember the name of a criminal showed that His Highness really cared about this bunch of bad guys.

"Now that you've almost rested, how about you do something for me?" Li Che asked again.

Wang Sanchun knelt on one knee: "Your Highness has ordered us to serve you at the risk of our lives, without hesitation!"

"There's no point in saying this nonsense." Li Che grinned. "I've spotted a few talented people, but they despise the poverty of Ninggu Commandery and are probably unwilling to serve. I can only ask you to invite them."

Wang Sanchun was stunned. What does "please" mean?

A thin man behind him immediately understood what he meant and laughed:

"You're so stupid! You don't know how to kidnap a hostage? Do you need His Highness to teach you?"

The eyes of many criminals lit up.

Kidnapping? We might not be good at other things, but we're familiar with this!

I'm just worried that I have no way to repay your highness's kindness!

Li Che called Qiu Bai over and handed him a list: "No one on the list can be missing, and no one can be hurt. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I understand!"

Fifty skilled fighters dressed in tight clothes, with sacks and ropes on their waists, went out from the back door of the Ten Kings' House in batches.

The people chosen by Qiu Bai had all been around in the imperial capital and were very familiar with the streets and alleys. It didn't take long for them to reach the doorstep of their first target.

"Liu Ye, Director of the Ministry of Works?"

A middle-aged man with a long beard heard someone calling him and turned his head dazedly: "Who is calling me?"

Before he could finish his words, a strong arm suddenly stretched out from the darkness and covered his mouth tightly.

Wang Sanchun chuckled, pulled out a sack from his waist, and put it directly on the other person's head.

"Verify your identity and take you away!"

Liu Ye felt a darkness before his eyes, and was immediately filled with panic.

Who are they? Jinyiwei? Kidnappers?

My life is over!

Qiu Bai, who was standing by, took out the list and made a mark on Liu Ye's name with his fingernails.

"Let's go, next one."

In a remote courtyard in the imperial capital, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Wang Xi, who had just finished his shift and hadn't had time to take off his official uniform, agreed and ran to open the door: "Who is it? I'm coming, I'm coming."

The door had just opened a crack when it was pushed open by someone outside.

A group of burly men filed in and surrounded Wang Xi in the courtyard.

"You, you... who are you?" Wang Xi's face turned pale with fright.

Qiu Bai finally walked in and looked up at Wang Xi: "Official of the Astronomical Department, Wang Xi?"

"It is me, the official. Who are you? How dare you enter the residence of an imperial official without permission... Wuwuwu..."

Wang Sanchun became more and more proficient in putting the sack on. With just a light toss, he carried Wang Xi on his shoulders.

"Your Highness, how could you only arrest these nameless, petty officials?"

"Don't question His Highness's decision. He has his own arrangements." Qiu Bai said.

Wang Sanchun gave him a look of disdain: "Who do you think you are, daring to teach me a lesson!"

Qiu Bai's face froze and he was about to say something.

Suddenly a young man rushed out of the courtyard and pointed at them and shouted:

"Hey, hey, hey, who are you waiting for? Why are you kidnapping my father?"

Qiu Bai frowned impatiently: "Who are you?"

"I am Wang Chongjian, the official in charge of the Ministry of Works!"

Qiu Bai glanced down at the list, then gave Wang Chongjian a strange look: "He's on the list, kidnap him too!"

Wang Chongjian: ???

. . . . . .

In the Ten Kings' residence, Li Che stood with his hands behind his back.

Truckloads of supplies were constantly being brought in through the main gate.

Squirming sacks kept being sent in through the back door.

Li Che looked at this scene, and suddenly a sense of heroism surged in his heart.

"Hahahaha, this king has great potential to revitalize Northeast China!"
