Jinyiwei took action again and rushed to all parts of the country.
In just one month, all dozens of secret strongholds of the White Lotus Sect were destroyed.
More than 5,000 congregants were escorted to the capital one after another. Shuntian Mansion did not have so many cells, so they were taken directly to the main campus.
Here, there is no need for special personnel to be on duty at all, because the fifth military camp trains at the main campus every day, and its deterrent effect is not generally strong.
The silver previously absorbed through Longsheng Bank was originally hidden on a small island in the East China Sea and has been shipped back.
Ship after ship of white silver docked at Tianjin Port, and then transported to the capital by train.
The next step is to do an inventory of the household department, and it is found that the overall loss is about 30%. Excluding the dividends received by investors themselves, it is still roughly 20% less.
However, for all investors, it is a surprise to get back 80% of the capital.
I thought that the money that had been taken away had no hope of getting it back.
Now that they see their money, everyone is crying and grabbing for it. They are even more emotional than when they learned the truth about being deceived.
Zhang Yi was also in tears, and he, Kuang Ye and others came to Fengtian Temple to express their gratitude.
Zhu Qizhen did not blame these people too much, because the lesson learned this time was enough for them to remember for a lifetime.
Next time something like this happens again, I promise to stay away from these people.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner, and everything in the capital is back on track.
After more than a month, Zhu Qizhen came to the imperial prison again.
At this time, Song Gu Xi seemed to have changed. She was dressed simply, her hair was pulled up casually, and there was no pink or pink on her face. She was no different from an ordinary village woman.
The most important thing is that the charming look while talking and laughing has completely disappeared.
At first glance, Zhu Qizhen was even stunned for a long time. After careful identification, he was sure from the look between her eyebrows that the woman in front of him was Song Guxi.
"Long live my emperor!"
"You..."
Zhu Qizhen pointed at her, struggled for a long time, and then said: "...it has changed a lot!"
After Song Guxi heard this, she said: "I am just an ordinary woman. In the past, I didn't know the bounds of the world and played tricks in front of the emperor. In fact, she was extremely clumsy and made the emperor laugh."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "I came here today to talk to you about some serious matters."
Song Guxi bowed his head and said: "The slave family is a person who has committed a crime. How can he be virtuous and capable of talking to the emperor? If the emperor has any instructions, he only needs an edict and the slave family will do it."
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen showed a knowing smile. Dealing with smart people saves trouble.
"Since you have a good attitude towards pleading guilty and all the dirty money hidden overseas has been recovered, I decided to give you a chance."
Song Guxi looked stern and kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
"I have conditions!"
"Your Majesty said it's okay, and the slave family will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"This matter really requires you to go through fire and water..."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and Yuan Bin behind him took out the map he carried with him, opened it, and laid it flat in front of Song Guxi.
Song Guxi stared at the map for a long time, and then asked: "What does the emperor need from the slave family?"
Zhu Qizhen slowly uttered two words: "Go to sea!"
Song Guxi was a little confused and asked: "Excuse me, Your Majesty, where are you going to sea?"
"Go north!"
Zhu Qizhen knelt down and stretched out his hand to make a gesture.
"Going north...the emperor is going to let the slave family go to Korea?"
"No, keep going north!"
"If we continue to the north...will it be the Japanese and Ezo Kingdoms?"
Zhu Qizhen shook his head again and said: "We still need to go north!"
Song Guxi stared at the map closely, her expression becoming confused.
Further north is an extremely cold place where no one can survive, so no one will go there.
Zhu Qizhen pointed at the position of Tianjin Guard with his finger, and then rowed all the way north, passing by Korea, then crossing the strait between Ezo Kingdom and Sakhalin Island, and continuing north until a piece of land protruded from the road.
The peninsula that comes out.
The more Song Guxi looked at it, the more confused she became, so she asked: "Where is this?"
"It's called the country of ghosts!"
"The Country of Flowing Ghosts..."
Song Guxi thought hard. She was born in a famous family and had read a lot of books since she was a child. Later, she traveled around the world and gained a lot of knowledge, but she didn't know that there was a wandering ghost country in the far north.
Zhu Qizhen explained: "There is a saying in the Tang Dynasty that the Liugui Kingdom is blocked by the sea on three sides and connected to the land on one side. It is 15,000 miles away from Chang'an. During the Zhenguan period, its king sent three translations to pay tribute, and the Tang Emperor awarded him the title of Cavalry Commander...
”
Song Guxi listened and kept nodding her head, gradually becoming curious about the wandering ghost country in the far north.
"...Everyone wears leather clothes, and they wear cloth made of dog hair and linen. The women wear deer skins in winter and fish skins in summer. They are made of the same clothes as cattle... In short, this is an uncivilized nation.
Living a life of fishing and hunting, eating hair and drinking blood, I am going to let you take those five thousand followers to the Liugui Kingdom to open up territory for the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a crime and meritorious service."
Song Guxi listened silently and asked: "Is the emperor planning to exile the slave family and those followers to the far north?"
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said: "It's an exile in name. After all, you are all rebels. If you don't pursue them, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling everyone in the world that whoever wants to rebel against me, just come and I won't kill you!"<
/p>
Song Guxi didn't ask any more questions, but leaned down and bowed: "I thank you for your grace!"
These days, she has been waiting for the moment to go to the execution ground.
However, the emperor still did not kill him.
She could tell that although he was exiled in name, he was actually entrusted with another important task to develop the land of the Drifting Ghost Country.
"There is no need to say polite words. If you are truly grateful, just complete the task I entrusted to you."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the slave family will definitely not let down Your Majesty's hard work!"
"Then go down and prepare. The Fifth Army Camp has distributed some equipment to you. Considering that there is no ammunition supply overseas, you have been given cold weapons. However, the people over there still live a life of slash and burn farming. They only use ordinary swords.
I may not have seen them before, but it should be enough to deal with those people."
"And..."
Zhu Qizhen seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly reminded: "When the remnants of the Tatars fled to the north of the Onan River, there may be Tatars in the north of the Liugui Kingdom. Compared with the Liugui Kingdom, they pose a greater threat.
Bigger."
"If you encounter a large-scale Tatar force, take a boat to the south and go to Sakhalin Island to find Juluhou Jingyuan. He will guard Mohe there, and the main thing to guard against is the Tatars."
Song Guxi nodded and said, "I will keep this in mind!"
Zhu Qizhen looked at her and was silent for a long time before saying, "Do you have any more questions?"
Song Guxi thought for a while and said: "The Nu family just has something unclear. In the bitter cold land of the far north, what is the purpose of the emperor coming here?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "The wandering ghost country is vast and sparsely populated, and only a few natives survive. If I don't take those ownerless lands, others will take them. Do you understand?"
Song Guxi did not say much, but bowed respectfully.
"Please give the emperor three years to the slave family. The slave family guarantees that within three years, the Liugui Kingdom will be included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"
