Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

Jiang Huan nodded upon hearing this, and said to Chen Jiang:

"No need for further inspection, you may leave now!"

Jiang Huan had absolutely no interest in what Chen Jiang was saying!

When it comes to intelligence, no one can compare to the Zhenwu Division, not even the inner guard secretly established by Emperor Xia!

As for funding, there is no shortage of it.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiang clasped his hands in a salute, then turned and left dejectedly.

After Chen Jiang left, Jiang Huan sat upright in the main seat, staring expressionlessly at his many subordinates dressed in brocade robes.

A new broom sweeps clean, and this first fire is one that he intends to make a grand and spectacular display of.

Jiang Huan's gaze was sharp as he scanned everyone present. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly and deliberately:

"His Highness said he needs 20 million taels within seven days, but my standard is 30 million taels!"

"The files in front of you represent dozens of corrupt officials, both high and low, in the capital."

"From dukes and ministers to officials of the sixth rank, no matter who they are, tigers must be struck down, and flies must be swatted!"

"From nightfall, all members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were mobilized, with the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise each leading a team to confiscate the property of their respective officials!"

"Before the morning court session tomorrow, I hope you can all bring good news to me and His Highness."

"Yes! Your subordinates will certainly live up to your expectations, Your Highness and your lord!" The four Azure Dragon Envoys clasped their hands in response.

On the very first day of the establishment of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Jiang Huan naturally hoped to achieve good results!

It also tells the world that the corrupt and incompetent Embroidered Uniform Guard is gone forever!

. . . . . .

Inside the Eastern Palace, when she had some free time, Xia Taige thought of the potatoes she had obtained from signing in.

Perhaps in modern times it is just an ordinary potato, but in ancient times when grain yields were generally very low, potatoes were a good medicine to save people from famine.

The sooner it is planted and cultivated, the sooner it can benefit the people of Daxia.

Immediately, Xia Taige ordered someone to summon Zhao Gao from the Zhenwu Division, as it was undoubtedly most appropriate to entrust this matter to Zhao Gao.

It took only a short while after someone was sent to summon him, Zhao Gao arrived at the gate of the East Palace, looking travel-worn and in a hurry.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, before he could even bow and pay his respects to Xia Taige, he was interrupted by Xia Taige, who was sitting above him, who waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for such formalities.

"I have summoned you here in haste because there is a matter of utmost importance that I need to entrust to you in your full authority," Xia Taige said solemnly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao bowed respectfully and replied, "I will obey Your Highness's orders!"

Xia Taige nodded and pointed to the object on the ground, saying earnestly:

"This matter concerns the livelihood of the people of the Great Xia for centuries; it is of paramount importance."

"Immediately send people to find agricultural experts and set aside a fertile field outside the city to plant this plant."

"During the planting period, all information must be kept confidential, and planting personnel must keep a close watch on the process!"

"In addition, deploy 1,000 Mo Dao soldiers to garrison here, and no one is allowed to approach."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gao's expression turned solemn, and he instantly recognized the importance of this item. He immediately clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and solemnly accepted.

"Yes, Your subordinate will remember this!"

Potatoes are a matter of great importance, and Xia Taige can't guarantee that the system will allow him to sign in again later. It's always better to be cautious.

Moreover, the Mo Dao Army, within the Zhenwu Division, has no other tasks besides daily training, so it doesn't matter where they are stationed. Being outside the city would also provide better cover for Tudou.

As Zhao Gao was leaving, Xia Taige added with some concern:

"Furthermore, the planting personnel should be under closed management, but their emotions should be taken into account. They can be promised that the imperial court will grant them official titles and ranks after the planting is successful."

Often, things go wrong because of these seemingly insignificant people, and Xia Taige cannot afford to be careless.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will remember this. Please rest assured."

Seeing Xia Taige's repeated reminders, Zhao Gao immediately put this item first in his mind and dared not be careless.

. . . . . .

It was just after nightfall, outside the residence of the Duke of Lu.

Qinglong, along with his commanders of thousands and hundreds, and numerous Imperial Guards, surrounded the entire Lu State Duke's mansion, leaving no blind spots!

Outside the gate, Qinglong stood under the plaque of the Duke of Lu's mansion, looked up at this renowned Duke's residence in the Great Xia Dynasty, and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Break down the door!" Qinglong ordered.

Immediately, the commander beside him stepped forward, gathered his true energy, and kicked out. With a loud 'bang,' the entire gate shattered into pieces.

The loud crash of the door breaking down instantly woke everyone in the Duke of Lu's mansion.

Qinglong stood outside the door, looking at the broken gate, and waved his hand indifferently. His men understood and immediately filed in, confronting the guards of the Duke of Lu's mansion who had rushed over.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously in the Duke of Lu's mansion?" The Duke's steward, who had just arrived, shouted at the Imperial Guards.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard all fell silent, but their actions were surprisingly synchronized.

With a "whoosh," hundreds of people simultaneously drew their embroidered spring knives from their waists, their movements clean, efficient, and perfectly synchronized.

In an instant, the crisp and loud sound of the sword being drawn echoed throughout the entire mansion, like a thunderclap, causing the guards protecting the mansion to turn pale and involuntarily shrink back.

Amidst the chaos, a faint voice suddenly drifted from behind the Imperial Guards:

"The Duke of Lu's mansion? Heh, I'm afraid after tonight, there will be no more Duke of Lu."

These sudden words shattered the tranquility of the courtyard, causing everyone present to tense up.

Upon hearing the sudden noise, the steward of the Duke's mansion instinctively turned his head in the direction from which the sound came.

The Jinyiwei guards, who had been shrouded in a murderous aura, respectfully stepped aside, automatically making way for them.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and imposing figure slowly walked out from the crowd.

Upon seeing this scene, the butler instantly realized that the powerful man in front of him must be the person in charge of this group of uninvited guests.

He then loudly questioned the Azure Dragon:

"Does Your Excellency know whose residence this is? How dare you so recklessly bring people in without permission?"

Faced with the butler's questioning, Qinglong merely frowned slightly, a hint of impatience on his face.

"Let Duke Lu speak!" Qinglong had no patience for the lowly stewards.

As soon as Qinglong finished speaking, a steady footstep was heard.

Immediately following was an aged voice.

"You must be the Imperial Guard that His Highness the Crown Prince established today!"

"I never expected that on its very first day of operation, they would target me to establish their authority."

Upon hearing this, the steward rushed to the old man's side as if he had seen a savior.
