Fu Yao, who was sitting on the side, saw something was wrong with Qin Bei, "What's wrong? What the village chief said is indeed the truth, and the rules have been like this for many years."

"It's okay, maybe I made a mistake."

Qin Bei shook his head.

But since then, Qin Bei has no intention of feasting.

How could he remember wrong.

This is the rule set by Emperor Xia, and the purchase of medicinal materials grown by mortals will cost 10% more.

Ordinary traders are unwilling to accept it, only the imperial court accepts it.

These medicinal materials are used by the military, and all the money purchased is paid by the national treasury.

Although it is only 10% more, and the medicinal materials grown by mortals are basically low-level medicinal materials.

But there are many mortals in Daxia, and there are naturally a lot of medicinal materials.

Expenditure on this aspect of the treasury every year is astronomical.

However, Emperor Xia still implemented the price of 10% more.

Although more money is spent, the natural life of mortals is also more comfortable.

Emperor Xia, who loves money so dearly, has never complained about this.

But what about now?

In the mortal world, which is only a hundred miles away from the capital, there is such a problem.

Qin Bei knew that most of the officials were greedy, but he never thought that someone would dare to collect money so blatantly.

The treasury is properly regarded as its own treasury.

It's just that what Qin Bei doesn't understand is how these people dare to be so blatant.

Moreover, the fact that mortal medicinal materials need to be charged more than 10% of the price will be publicized by the court people every year.

But why doesn't anyone here know?

Even Fu Yao, who has lived for many years, doesn't know there is such a thing.

And it's only a hundred miles away from the capital. Since this is already the case, what about other places?

Especially in marginal cities, how are the people there?

The Shadow Guard is so powerful and the information is so well-informed, why has he never heard anyone report it?

Could it be that there is also a problem within the Shadow Guard?

At the banquet, Qin Bei was thinking about this issue.

He can accept that there are corrupt officials in the court, which is unavoidable.

But Qin Bei has a hard time accepting that Shadow Guard also has problems.

The emperor's personal soldiers, if this is also a problem, then the problem of the entire summer is not small.

Fu Yao also saw that Qin Bei had something on his mind and knew that he couldn't stay overnight.

"My lord, let's go."

Although reluctant, it will eventually go away.

In the dead of night, Fu Yao and Zhou Gui packed up

Good luggage is to go.

on the way.

"Your Highness is thinking about purchasing medicinal materials?"

Fu Yao is not stupid, just think about it and you will understand what's going on.

"Um."

Qin Bei nodded lightly.

"Actually, the lord doesn't have to think too much. With such a stable source of income, the mortals of Daxia are already very satisfied. Now I don't know how many people want to become the people of Daxia, and even move their families to come to Daxia. Yes, the descendants, only to enter the Daxia territory, this shows that Your Majesty has done a very good job."

Fu Yao comforted.

"The royal father is of course doing very well, but some people's hands and feet are afraid that they are not clean!"

Qin Bei narrowed his eyes, and the surrounding air became a little colder.

"Cough cough!"

Qin Bei finished his words when he heard Fu Yao's cough.

"Wow~"

A mouthful of strong blood The next moment was spit out from Fu Yao's mouth.

"Master!"

Zhou Gui was very frightened when he saw this.

He hurriedly took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and poured out two Medicine Pills.

"Master, take it quickly."

Fu Yao hurriedly took Medicine Pill and took it.

Seeing this scene, Qin Bei couldn't help frowning again.

"Is your injury serious, sir?"

"Whoo~"

Fu Yao, who was relieved a lot, smiled wryly and shook his head, "This injury has been under control for many years, and naturally it is getting more and more serious. Now I am afraid that my strength is not as good as that of my disciple."

Seeing Fu Yao's helplessness, Qin Bei said solemnly, "Don't worry, I will definitely find a doctor to treat Mr.

The worried Qin Bei finally brought the two back to the capital overnight.

Taking Fu Yao and the two back to the palace, Qin Bei instructed the housekeeper to take care of the two and then entered the palace late at night without stopping.

Kong Fei, who was guarding outside the palace wall, saw Qin Bei come to inquire late at night.

After learning that Qin Bei was here to look for the shadow, and after thinking that nothing had happened in the palace recently, and that no one had provoked Qin Bei's mother-in-law, he let go.

"Master Shadow! Master Shadow!"

Shadow Palace.

This is the exclusive residence of Ying, and it is also the only person who can have a palace in the palace as a courtier.

Although Ying took Qin Xuan out to practice, Qin Bei knew that Ying still had an incarnation in the palace.

At this time, Qin Bei didn't believe in the rest of the Shadow Guard, only in Shadow.

"My lord, what's the matter? Come late at night, is there something important?"

When Ying saw Qin Bei at this time, he felt that there must be nothing good.

"Master Shadow, I

There is something I want to ask, and I hope to answer it. "

Seeing Qin Bei's solemn appearance, Ying also couldn't guess what was going on.

"Then come in and sit down and talk slowly."

......

Inside the house, the two sat opposite each other.

Ying looked at Qin Bei's face while pouring tea.

"It's rare to see the prince's face so ugly. Did you encounter something unhappy? Could it be that you are in conflict with His Majesty again?"

"Whoo~"

Qin Bei drank the hot tea without speaking.

film:? ? ?

This operation confused Yingdu, so Qin Bei could only pour another glass.

"Whoo~"

Qin Bei drank again.

film:....

"It seems that this has something to do with me? Tell me."

Shadow put down the tea cup in his hand and said lightly.

"Master Ying, do you know the rules set by your father, that you need to add 10% to the price of buying medicinal herbs grown by mortals?"

Qin Bei asked to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

"There is such a thing, but it's all something that the Ministry of Household manages. I don't know much about it."

After recalling it for a while, Shadow nodded.

"Master Ying, do you know that in Zhoujia Village, which is a hundred miles away from the capital, the people who go to buy it every year not only do not give 10% of the price, but instead take 10% of the profit on the grounds of labor costs?!"

"Is there such a thing?"

Shadow frowned, also shocked that such a thing could happen.

"So you don't know?"

"Of course I don't know. If I knew of such a thing, the Shadow Guard would have reported it to His Majesty. This is not a trivial matter."

"But the Shadow Guard is so well-informed, how could he not know? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Shadow Guard?"

Qin Bei asked the question he was most worried about.

"Oh~ It turns out that the prince is worried about this, so you can rest assured. It is normal for the shadow guard to not know about this kind of thing."

When Ying heard Qin Bei say this, he relaxed.

No wonder Qin Bei's face turned ugly as soon as he came in. It turned out that he had such doubts.

"Why? Even if the shadow guard's dominance is only in the capital, Zhou Jiacun is only a hundred miles away from the capital. Could it be that the distance from the shadow guard is so much weaker? The shadow guard doesn't know what so many people know?"

Qin Bei wondered.

"hai~ wangye, you don't know enough about the shadow guards, and you don't know enough about the court."

Shadow shook his head.

"Appreciate further details."
