Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"Performance Evaluation Method..."

Almost all officials in the court knew the weight of the three words "Kaochengfa".

Qin Ming wanted to implement it under Emperor Qian's control back then.

However, as soon as the idea was proposed, it was rejected by all officials from top to bottom.

Because of helping Qin Ming, Chen Shimao also caused a lot of people to hate him.

And now, the performance evaluation system that officials are most worried about has finally arrived.

"We are not familiar with the Kaocheng system yet. Your Majesty, could you please let us do some work first, and then use it to evaluate officials later?"

At this time, some officials in the crowd discussed and quickly made a request to Qin Ming.

Anyway, as long as they can be reinstated, they have many ways to stay in this position.

Unfortunately, they were facing Qin Ming who had returned from the south.

"Do you think I am discussing this with you?"

"These are just two options. Those who stay will enter the palace and follow Prime Minister Chen, and work according to the standards of the Kaocheng Law."

"If you don't want to enter the palace or leave, I won't be polite to you if you continue to stay here."

After he finished speaking, Qin Ming waved towards the distance.

Liu Yueli came over with a dozen secret guards.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely tense.

"Your Majesty, you'd better kill us and send us to accompany the late emperor!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly uneasy, several officials started to make a scene again.

"Yes, but not here."

Qin Ming stared at them and spoke meaningfully, then entered the palace with a few officials who were willing to accept the performance evaluation system.

"What...what's going on?"

The officials of the previous dynasty who were acting arrogantly at the scene were all a little surprised.

Liu Yueli stood beside them and chuckled:

"You don't even know the disaster is coming. Have your heads been clogged with wine and meat?"

Everyone didn't understand what Liu Yueli meant, but when they saw the murderous secret guards, their hearts began to beat fast.

They spent the whole afternoon in silence.

Time soon came to evening.

Some old men looked at the sky and decided that today's mourning was over, so they prepared to go back home to rest and come back tomorrow.

But when they stood up, Liu Yueli waved her hand, and a group of secret guards quickly left, their figures disappearing in the capital.

"nerve……"

The officials of the previous dynasty did not understand their actions and left on their own.

But when some of them passed through the alley, they found Liu Yueli waiting for them there.

"Everyone, it's inconvenient to take action outside, so you can die here."

"you dare!"

This action frightened them and they quickly retreated and threatened.

"We are officials appointed by the previous dynasty. How dare you treat us like this? If this gets out, aren't you afraid of tarnishing His Majesty's reputation?"

"Old man, only if you die in front of the Imperial City will you have some influence on His Majesty. If you die somewhere else, there will be no problem."

As she spoke, Liu Yueli took out several official documents from the Ministry of Justice.

"The evidence of your crimes over the years has already been thoroughly investigated. After we kill you, all that remains is to confiscate your property."

"Your Majesty has done nothing wrong, both morally and logically."

"What……!?"

Now, everyone finally understood why Qin Ming said goodbye to them in such a meaningful way today.

The performance evaluation method he mentioned is the last chance for these people.

But they think the performance evaluation system is too controlling.

I didn't expect that I would end up in a dead end.

"Goodbye, my Lords."

Liu Yueli took out a few plum blossom darts that were a bit outdated from the times and spoke lightly.

Just as several people were about to call for help, their throats were pierced by darts.

Several secret guards walked out of the darkness.

Liu Yueli said lightly:

"Get rid of them, and the other secret guards will seal off the residences of the high-ranking officials!"

"Yes!"

Everything was carried out quickly and efficiently in the dark.

Late at night, after Qin Ming finished dealing with the trivial matters in the palace, he prepared to return to the harem to rest.

As soon as I stepped into the harem, I suddenly heard someone talking.

Turning his head, Qin Ming saw two familiar figures.

It’s Guan Yue and Wan Shu.

"When did you arrive?"

Previously, Qin Ming placed Guan Yue in Lingnan in the rear because of the war.

During the war, Guan Yue managed all the production teams in the factory very well in the rear, and when needed, he directly invested all the manpower and material resources of each factory into the production of supplies for the front line.

This is how supplies were provided to Jianfeng Pass and other checkpoints.

"Of course I'm looking for you to give me a name."

Wan Shu covered her mouth and chuckled.

Qin Ming's heart moved. It had indeed been too long since Guan Yue followed him from Lingnan back to the capital.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Ming stepped forward and said seriously:

"Tomorrow, stand up."

"Don't be so anxious, you still have a lot of important things to do."

When Guan Yue heard this, her whole body trembled and her face turned a little red with embarrassment.

"This is also an important matter."

Qin Ming hugged Guan Yue into his arms and said seriously.

"Ouch."

Wan Shu pouted and covered her eyes, but still curiously opened her eyes a little with her fingers.

“There are several factories in the capital. They are well located, but the construction is terrible.”

Qin Ming sat in front of Wan Shu and Guan Yue and mentioned the court's previous debts.

He took tens of millions of taels of silver but accomplished nothing.

But the money spent by the people must be repaid.

This concerns the credibility of the court and whether this method can still be used to raise funds in the future.

"Your Majesty, you don't want to take over this mess completely, do you?"

Wan Shu's face darkened.

What happened in the previous dynasty is done for now, but if Qin Ming really has to bear tens of millions of debts, that would be a huge mountain to bear.

"Of course, we can't carry all of this on our shoulders, but we also need to minimize the impact of this incident."

"I'm going to issue currency and then use some physical goods in exchange to pay off those debts."

"Barter...you want to use the silk bicycle and other things to pay off your debt?"

Guan Yue immediately understood Qin Ming's idea.

Lingnan has a strong industrial base.

The products produced have long been saturated and there is no place to sell them.

If the products they produce are used to pay off debts, while consuming production capacity, the living standards of the people in the Northern Dynasty can also be gradually improved.

"And we're going to build the prototype of industries around the capital."

Qin Ming set his sights on Wan Shu and Guan Yue.

Wan Shu sighed.

"My wise and mighty Majesty, every time you ask, my sisters and I run around like crazy. Can you please help our Lingnan Chamber of Commerce this time?"

"Of course you can, but you just need to take it easy and make the basic price."

"Of course. With such a large project, you can make a lot of money if you do it. They won't cheat you."

Wan Shu and Guan Yue looked at each other and immediately agreed.

There are huge benefits in doing engineering.

Qin Ming gave it to Wan Shu in return for her help during the war.

As for Guan Yue, she has experience in managing many factories.

Once these factories are established, she can develop them bit by bit.

The three of them talked until late at night and drank some drinks.

When Qin Ming woke up the next morning, he lifted the quilt and found Guan Yue and Wan Shu lying on the bed with their clothes on.

"What did you do last night...?"

Qin Ming shook his sore head, not caring about the two beauties, and immediately got up to change his clothes.

After washing his face, he went outside the palace, where Liu Yueli was already waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, the confiscation of property is complete, and the amount of silver seized seems quite substantial."
