From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 67 I am not good at investigating cases, I am only good at smashing pots
What should a prince do if he falls in love with a woman?
Chase?

Chasing a piece of shit!
Go to the old man, no, go to me and ask for marriage!

Eliminate all internal friction processes.

No need to worry about it.

Because the prince's marriage is not a private matter, not a family matter, but a state matter.

When you get married, the Ministry of Revenue has to pay for it.

Oh, that girl’s father is the Minister of Revenue!
Okay, pay more.

Don't think about saving.

However, Fan Ruoruo is still too young now, just a twelve-year-old little loli, and Li Chengqian is not that cruel.

Let’s talk about it in two years.

Think about his mother, Zhang Sun, who married at the age of fourteen——

No, that’s not the right channel. It’s not this Li Chengqian.

Anyway, once you’ve set your eyes on it, you can’t run away.

"So, I'm going to be Fan Xian's brother-in-law?" Li Chengqian stroked his chin and thought. "In two years, Fan Xian will also be my brother-in-law. If that's the case, it should be called an exchange marriage, right?"

Is it too feudal?
Oh, the world is a feudal society now, so it’s okay.

Thinking about all the noble ladies who had visited Mingchun, Li Chengqian chose and chose, and Fan Ruoruo was the one that best suited his aesthetic taste. Of course, it was also possible that the others were too young and had not grown up yet, as girls change a lot when they grow up.

Roujia is only ten years old, and the ones who come here are all little lolis, so it may not be obvious now.

But that's okay.

He is the crown prince, the future emperor. Now that he has a crown princess, he can also have concubines. After the old man dies, he can still start a harem.

Just when I was thinking about it, my heart suddenly felt a palpitation.

"I'm, born?" Li Chengqian's heart moved, and he realized that the time flowed very fast in the world that his second soul entered. After all, his second soul had just entered the mother's womb of this world a few days ago. He also realized that the fetus had not yet fully developed. Fortunately, his second soul crashed, so he was able to reincarnate smoothly. How could he be born in just a few days?

Could it be a premature baby or mentally retarded?

Li Chengqian was upset, calmed down, and contacted his second soul.

"I didn't realize it last time, but connecting with the second soul that's already in the same world is much more difficult than connecting with the second soul in the void. It seems like I'll have to wait until the second soul revives before things get easier."

About half an hour later, he sighed, opened his eyes, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

Across a world, communication with the dead second soul was extremely difficult, and there was a feeling of helplessness.

"However, after some rough calculations, I found that the time flow rate in that world is inconsistent with this world. It's about one to five. One day here is five days in that world. Could this time difference be because the level of that world is lower than this world? What kind of world is that?"

He had just tried his best to communicate with that world, but unfortunately, his second soul had just been born, so he could only slightly determine the approximate speed of time flow in that world, and then he was squeezed out by the inhibitory force of that world. Now, he can only wait until his second soul recovers before contacting again, and he doesn't know when that will happen.

Thinking of this, he sighed secretly. This kind of thing cannot be rushed.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has summoned you to the Linhu Palace."

Mao Qiwu's voice came from outside the house.

"Calling me at this time?"

Li Chengqian looked up and out the window. It was already dusk.

"Will the old man treat me to dinner?"

※※※Inside the palace, Linhu Hall
Emperor Qing looked at the memorial in his hand with a solemn and unhappy expression.

In addition to Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, there were also Lin Ruofu and the second prince Li Chengze in the palace.

Chen Pingping and Fan Jian both looked calm, while Lin Ruofu frowned. As for the second prince Li Chengze, there was curiosity in his eyes, and he seemed to be unclear why Emperor Qing had summoned him today.

"Where is Cheng Qian? Why hasn't he come yet?" Emperor Qing turned to the last page of the memorial in his hand, threw it aside completely, and suddenly looked up and asked.

"Your Majesty, I have summoned him. He should be here soon." Chen Pingping said. As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqian appeared in front of the hall in a wheelchair.

Emperor Qing glanced at Li Chengqian, his eyes fell on the wheelchair under his butt, and he had an urge to smash it.

"Greetings, father. I wonder what instructions you have for me." Li Chengqian bowed as he came into the hall in a wheelchair.

"Take a look." Emperor Qing picked up the memorial on the side and threw it to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian took the memorial and looked through it.

After a while, his brows furrowed tightly. After a long while, he finally said, "What does it have to do with me?"

Emperor Qing was so angry that he almost jumped up and could not help but scold, "You are the crown prince, and all the affairs of the court are related to you."

"The salt administration is a cesspool. Ever since the salt drying law came out, it should have been changed, but you didn't. Now this is a mess. How do you plan to clean it up?" Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows and said, "The Jiaofangsi case has just ended. The court needs stability right now. It's not appropriate to stir up another major case now."

"So, it's all my fault?"

"Of course not, how could your Majesty be wrong? You are busy with so many things every day. Who can take care of them one by one? The ones who are wrong are the court officials at that time. They are just sitting in their positions and doing nothing. They can't even see such a simple truth and can't find out the shortcomings for you. It's their problem." Li Chengqian said with a smile.

"Then tell me, what should we do now? Did my salt inspector die in vain?"

"Leave professional matters to professionals. If you really want to ask for my opinion, then leave it to my aunt." Li Chengqian said.

"What?" Emperor Qing and the others were all stunned and looked at Li Chengqian in surprise.

This is the salt administration, the economic lifeline of the country, which is related to Daqing's taxation and finances. How can it be handed over to the eldest princess?
"The assassination of the Salt Inspector was nothing more than an infringement of the interests of the salt officials and salt merchants. It's easy to find the culprit. Kill a bunch of salt officials and salt merchants, don't even investigate, line them up and kill every last one. There will be no injustice. The court can make a fortune from this, but it won't solve the fundamental problem. In a few years, the money that can't be collected will still be collected. Don't you agree?"

Emperor Qing frowned, this was what he was worried about. Salt administration had always been a big problem in all dynasties. In order to maintain political stability, he had no intention of doing anything about it. However, since this year's salt tax was 30% less than last year's, he sent an imperial censor to inspect the salt. To be honest, he really didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to plug the gap in the salt administration.

Who could have imagined that this Imperial Censor of Salt was assassinated after submitting only a secret memorial, and the content of the secret memorial was nothing more than that the salt officials colluded with salt merchants and worked together to embezzle the salt tax.

How come he was stabbed all of a sudden?

He was a little confused and felt that his authority was being challenged, which led to this discussion in Linhu Palace.

It just so happened that recently, the Crown Prince Li Chengqian started attending court, and seemed to be willing to demonstrate his abilities. Whether it was the Jiaofangsi case or the assassination in Mingchun Garden, they were all eye-catching, so he was summoned to the Linhu Palace to ask about government affairs.

The result was not like that. He asked Li Chengqian to look at the case of the assassination of the censor, but Li Chengqian skipped the assassination case and directly touched upon the salt administration, and also proposed such an incredible method.

Does it mean that you have a broad perspective and foresight, or do you just want to create chaos in the world?
He sneered and said, "Killing a bunch of people, do you think the court is just playing house? Without any evidence, you just kill people at will? If you kill someone and the real murderer runs away, how will you explain it?"

"As for investigating the case, there are the Dali Temple and the Supervisory Council. They are all professionals. I can't help. Dean Chen, you have spies all over the world. I think you should have a clue by now, right?"

Chen Pingping glanced at Li Chengqian and said, "The murderer has been identified, and several of the people behind it have been arrested, but the money is gone."

"That's your dereliction of duty," Li Chengqian retorted bluntly, looking up and saying, "Father, I'm not a detective, so I can't help you with this kind of thing. However, the salt administration does need to be cleaned up. The current salt administration is in such a mess, mainly because the interests involved are too great, which has allowed those people to take such risks. If they give authority to the inner treasury, they can use the inner treasury's channels to flood the market with large quantities of low-priced salt, making the salt administration unprofitable, and the problem will be solved."

"Absolutely not." Fan Jian on the side was shocked. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and in fact the Prime Minister of the country's finances. If Li Chengqian really did this, the Ministry of Revenue would be in dire straits.

"Your Majesty, look! The treacherous ministers have come forward. Even the Minister of Revenue is part of this profit chain." Li Chengqian glanced at Fan Jian and smiled. "Normally, this problem won't be solved. If you're truly determined to take action against the salt administration, you'll have to take an unconventional approach, destroy the pot, and then start over."

Fan Jian: “…”
