Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 453: Cheated a princess

"Free gift!"

Lu Hao waved his hand, and a strong internal force lifted everyone up.

What a strong inner force!
General Lin and others were horrified.

"Prime Minister, this is General Lin, the city lord of Jingyue Port. He is helping us find a guide to lead the way."

Situ Tianyin quickly introduced her, but her eyes glanced at Ashi Shanmei, a Turkic beauty.

Lu Hao obviously also discovered this, but he did not take the initiative to introduce it, but asked: "How is the situation?"

"Prime Minister, General Lin released a dozen smugglers and asked them to draw a sea map, but, you see, they are all different..."

Situ Tianyin handed him the drawing in his hand.

no the same?How could it be different?

Lu Hao took it and took a look, and immediately discovered the problem.

These smugglers are all wild. Everyone has their own opinions and ideas, and the routes they choose cannot be the same.

As for whether these charts are useful, Lu Hao thinks they are very useful and can be used as a road map for future shipping.

"Well, these charts are useful, but I will complete these drawings, mark the reefs and shoals, and use them as a route map for shipping in the future."

Lu Hao said with a smile.

"Master Prime Minister, are you saying that these charts are correct?"

General Lin said puzzledly.

"These charts are from different smugglers, and the routes they choose are naturally different. There is nothing surprising."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

"But didn't the Prime Minister say that it should be perfected?"

General Lin was still puzzled.

"Yes, the routes of these charts should be chosen by human experience. When Xiang Xiang goes north this time, he will determine the correct routes of these charts, and then they can be used as a standard."

Lu Hao added with a smile.

"Prime Minister, from what you say, it seems that we are going to open a shipping route to Jimtso Port?"

Situ Tianyin looked at Ashi Shanmei and asked with a smile.

"Yes, in the future, when the Turkic Dynasty returns to the Great Yan Empire, it will naturally be necessary to strengthen trade between the two sides, and this route will become particularly important."

Lu Hao nodded slightly, pulled Ashi Shanmei over, and introduced with a smile: "This is the sister of Juli Khan, Princess Ashi Shanmei."

"What? Juli Khan's sister?"

Situ Tianyin was also shocked.

"There is nothing surprising. The princess understands the righteousness and knows that the truth is for the good of the Turks. Therefore, she is willing to submit to the truth and surrender to the Great Yan Empire."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

"Situ Tianyin pays homage to the princess!"

Situ Tianyin bowed slightly.

"Sister, no need to be polite!"

Asami Zenmei said with a smile.

"Princess, do you still know the language of our Great Yan Empire?"

Situ Tianyin was shocked.

"Yes, she has come to Jingyue Port to smuggle goods before, but she was not caught by General Lin."

Lu Hao added with a smile.

"What are you talking about?"

Ashi Shanmei said coquettishly.

"Master Prime Minister, it seems that you have deceived another princess?"

Situ Tianyin saw at a glance that the relationship between the two was not simple, and joked with a smile.

"Cough...cough...this...let's talk about it later. Let's talk about the shipping route map first..."

Lu Hao quickly changed the topic.

He walked towards General Lin and said loudly: "General Lin, please gather the smugglers you caught here. I have something to tell you about the truth."

"Yes, Mr. Xiang."

General Lin quickly turned around and left.

In a short time, a dozen smugglers were escorted to the city lord's mansion, lined up in a row, waiting for Lu Hao's lecture.

"This is the Prime Minister of the Empire, why don't you kneel down quickly!" General Lin said loudly.

"The villain pays homage to the prime minister!"

A dozen smugglers knelt down and kowtowed.

"You get up first."

Lu Hao waved his hand, indicating to stand up and speak.

"Prime Minister, the general has only captured so many smugglers, and they are all here."

General Lin quickly added.

"Tell me the truth, what are you smuggling?"

Lu Hao looked at the group of smugglers and asked with a smile.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the villain is smuggling clothes and fabrics."

"The villain is smuggling grains and vegetables. Please have mercy on me, Prime Minister."

"The villain smuggled daily necessities and some small things. I have been convicted of the crime. Please forgive me, Prime Minister!"

"..."

More than a dozen smugglers spoke up, confessed what they had smuggled, and quickly begged for mercy.

"The Turkic Dynasty will soon be incorporated into the empire's territory. Therefore, the smuggling crimes you committed before will no longer exist."

Lu Hao said loudly.

What?No longer exists?

A dozen smugglers were dumbfounded!
General Lin and others were also stunned!

"Master Prime Minister, are you saying that we are not guilty?"

one of the smugglers asked loudly.

"Yes, you are innocent now. According to the previous law, smuggling goods to Turks is indeed a capital crime!"

"However, now that the Turkic dynasty is about to fall and will be merged into the empire's territory, it belongs to the empire's Far East region. Therefore, the smuggling crimes you committed before will not be counted as crimes."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

"Thank you, Prime Minister! Thank you, Prime Minister..."

More than a dozen smugglers knelt on the ground, kowtowed vigorously, and burst into tears with excitement.

"Now that you are innocent, I hope you can return to your old business and continue to sell supplies from Jingyue Port to the Far Eastern Prairie to do business with the Turks..."

Lu Hao added with a smile.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, can we still sell... that business with the Turks?"

one of the smugglers asked.

"Of course you can do business, but you must apply for permission documents here at Jingyue Port before you can transport goods from here to the Turks."

"This permission document is like a customs clearance document. You only need to pay a certain monthly fee based on the amount of goods you transport."

Lu Hao explained with a smile.

“Can we really do this kind of licensing paperwork?”

another smuggler asked.

"Of course you can. What the truth says will naturally be true."

Lu Hao turned to look at General Lin and said loudly: "General Lin, if they want to apply for permission documents, you can handle it for them. You can earn a certain fee every month and pay it to the national treasury as tax."

"I will obey the Prime Minister's instructions."

General Lin responded loudly.

"You should go back immediately to prepare the goods and contact the ship. I hope you will transport the supplies to Jimtso Port as soon as possible and transfer them to Volabak..."

Lu Hao made his request.

"Prime Minister, we all have our own skills. As long as the permission documents are obtained, our goods can set sail tomorrow."

said one of the smugglers.

"Hehehe... very good! You should go back now. I hope to see you and your goods in Wolabach as soon as possible."

Lu Hao laughed happily.

He asked these smugglers to transport supplies to Volabak as soon as possible in order to better conquer the Turkic tribal leaders.

Only when these guys see real things and real benefits will they sincerely submit to the Great Yan Empire.
