Chapter 1242 The Image Is in My Mind
Facing his mother, Minglang instantly became obedient: "What are your orders, Mother?"
Not wanting to waste each other's time, Liang Chongyue got straight to the point: "I have killed all the officials in Qiyang. If you don't have anything else to do, prepare a list of those to be sent out to other places before tonight. After I review it, you can have it read aloud at the morning court tomorrow."
The amount of information was too much for Minglang to handle. He first went over his mother's words in his mind, and when he met her cold and hard expression, he squeezed out a docile smile and nodded in agreement.
Minglang: "Don't worry, Mother, I will definitely complete the mission."
As soon as Minglang finished speaking, the panel vanished into nothingness before her very eyes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Minglang then felt the presence of his hands and feet, and pulled the kitten into his arms, holding it tightly: "Kitten, did you hear that? The Queen Mother just said that all the officials in Qiyang were beaten to death, right?"
The kitten is already contacting the stinky dog. This information is so overwhelming that its owner has never experienced anything like it before, and is a little overwhelmed.
The kitten took a moment to respond to Minglang: "It wasn't a fight to the death, Master, you were being too tactful."
The Queen Mother clearly said she would kill him outright.
The kitten had barely uttered a word when Minglang reached out and pinched its mouth shut. Minglang then leaned down and carefully instructed the kitten:
"When repeating what the Queen Mother said, remember not to make her sound too terrifying."
The kitten meowed and looked up: "Do I need it even when Mother isn't watching?"
Minglang: "Yes, that way it doesn't sound so scary."
When her grandmother had described the Empress Dowager's massacre in the capital, Minglang only had a vague idea.
Although she didn't see the deaths of those officials in Qiyang today, the moment her mother spoke, she already had a picture in her mind.
The kitten pouted, not understanding what its owner was pretending to be. When the owner did it himself, it wasn't much different from the documentary about the Queen Mother that the stinky dog had shown it.
The speed and agility of his movements were incredible, completely unlike his current style.
Just then, the kitten received a response from the system.
Minglang was still wondering what had happened to anger his mother, who had cultivated a good temper over the years, to the point of unleashing a massacre.
This clearly shows that these people had a righteous way of courting death.
The next second, the black and gold panel reappeared, showing a replay of the events that had occurred in Qiyang over the past few days.
The kitten even offered a thoughtful explanation from the side:
"The stinky dog said that the Queen Mother has been annoyed by this matter for several days, so this is an abridged and sped-up version."
"
Minglang watched the whole thing while holding the kitten and concluded, "But caning is too lenient on them."
These people deserve to be tortured in every way possible, so that they can also experience the suffering of the people of Qiyang.
After watching the video, Minglang felt energized and shouted to Nanxing outside:
"Summon the six ministers to see me now."
Upon receiving the news, Nanxing, who was outside the gate, did not dare to delay for a moment. With a wave of his hand, he sent six eunuchs to hurry out of the East Palace.
After explaining things to Minglang, Liang Chongyue left the panel in front of her open, pulled up a topographical map of Qiyang and its surrounding area, and began to study the reconstruction of Qiyang.
The system was right there beside the host, and Liang Chongyue was busy until Fei He returned.
Li Yu'an brought in the freshly brewed milk tea with him, and while serving the tea to His Majesty, he listened to His Majesty's instructions.
Liang Chongyue's pen never stopped, and without even looking up, she instructed Fei He:
"Yu'an and I discovered the treasure vault that Zhang Duan has built over the years at the governor's office. I will have Yu'an go with you later and have people dig it up. We will take stock of all the treasures, and the antiques and paintings will be transported back to the capital by people. All the gold will be converted into loose silver. If the inventory in Qiyang is not enough, we will exchange it in other places in Jiangnan."
As soon as Fei He entered, he saw that His Majesty looked very angry. It must be because Zhang Duan had embezzled and hidden a lot of money over the years, otherwise His Majesty would not be so angry.
"Yes, I'll go in a bit."
Liang Chongyue had just finished outlining the agricultural plans for the area surrounding Qiyang when he finally had a chance to look up at him: "And those guys we killed, each of them had something hidden in their homes. Take people and dig three feet into the ground to find it for me. Everything must be accounted for."
Liang Chongyue didn't have that much time to search one by one, and the map the system gave her didn't show what those beasts had hidden in their treasure vaults.
If all the gold hidden in Zhang Duan's underground vault were converted into loose silver and distributed to the people, it would be enough for the people of Qiyang to live comfortably for decades.
As for the road ahead, we'll take it one step at a time. That's how it's been for decades. Qiyang is a few decades behind other places, but putting aside the past, now is the best time.
Seeing that His Majesty had no further instructions, Li Yu'an and Fei He took their leave.
"Yes, we'll go right away."
Liang Chongyue sat in the study for an entire day, writing more and more on the paper beside him. After Yunling came in to bring tea a few times, the Emperor forbade her from entering again.
A ball of paper was crumpled up at Liang Chongyue's feet, and more and more papers were thrown down.
The ink in the ink tray was used up again and again.
At first, he called Yunling in to grind the ink, but later Liang Chongyue ground it herself.
In rare moments of quiet reflection, as soon as she finishes grinding the ink, new ideas will spring to mind.
If we continue with the previous steps, it will take Qiyang decades to catch up with the progress of other places in Jiangnan.
But the Jiangnan region will certainly be much better developed in a few decades than it is now.
It was her negligence that led to Qiyang's current state. Other regions in Jiangnan have no obligation to stop and wait, nor will she allow Jiangnan to stop. Now, the only option is to overtake on a curve.
After grinding the ink three times, Liang Chongyue leaned back in his chair, watching the leaden gray light gradually brighten outside the window, and suddenly realized that the whole night had passed just like that.
Liang Chongyue tidied up the papers she had written on, sorted them into categories, and then got up and opened the door. She immediately saw Yunling, who was sleeping soundly outside.
Liang Chongyue squatted down and gently patted Yunling's shoulder.
Yunling snapped out of her daze and, after vaguely recognizing His Majesty's face, immediately came to her senses: "Is Your Majesty hungry? The kitchen has been keeping the dishes warm. This servant will go and bring them to Your Majesty."
Yunling then tried to get up, but after squatting outside for so long, her legs went numb and she couldn't get up. Liang Chongyue had to reach out and help her up.
"No rush, wait until you've calmed down, then we can go down to eat together."
Liang Chongyue leaned against the railing of the corridor, looking at the sky that had turned pale gray. The moon slowly faded, and the fiery red sun rose from the east.
A new day is about to begin.
But the wind still carried the coolness of the evening, clearing the mind and not giving anyone a chance to dwell on yesterday.
