Chapter 108 The road to colonization begins!
The setting sun shines obliquely, and golden light fills the top of Xianyang City.

Ye Chi and Li Si stood side by side, looking with deep eyes at the clan mansions that were being confiscated in front of them.

After a massive investigation, the assets of those clans that were usually high and mighty have been exposed, and there is no longer any secret left!

"Prime Minister Li, please take a look at these accounts!" Ye Chi said in a deep voice, holding a thick stack of account books in his hand.

Li Si took the account book and flipped through the pages, the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense! !
As an important official in the Qin court, he thought he knew everything about the wealth in the world, but now he discovered that the wealth of these clans was far beyond his imagination!

"I never thought these clans would be so wealthy!" Li Si's voice trembled. "Their food is piled up like a mountain. The Gan clan alone can support the Baiyue army of 500,000 for a year! This, this is simply..."

"They are the parasites of the country!" Ye Chi said coldly, "They sucked the blood of our Qin, enriched themselves, and left the country alone!"

"This behavior is truly unforgivable!!!"

Li Si took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement: "You are right, these clans are indeed a major concern for the country! We must take action and wipe them out!"

The two looked at each other and saw firm determination in each other's eyes.

As night falls, the city of Xianyang is brightly lit.

Ye Chi and Li Si discussed for a long time in the secret room and finally decided on an action plan.

A cleansing storm against clan forces is about to quietly begin within the Qin Empire.

"This action must be carried out with swift and resolute action, and there must be no leniency!" Ye Chi's voice was firm.

Li Si nodded, his expression solemn: "The clan's calamity is like a ulcer attached to the bone, and we must take drastic measures! Today, we will start from this imperial capital and investigate one by one. We must restore order to the world!! "

Following the orders of the two men, clerks from all over the country quickly took action. They opened the government vaults and granaries built by the clan in various places one by one and began to conduct a careful inspection.

Such actions quickly spread to every corner of Daqin.

Soon, a list of confiscated items was delivered to Li Si and Ye Chi.

When they saw those astonishing figures, even though they had expected it, they couldn't help but be moved!

"The grain is piled up like a mountain, and the gold and jewels are countless!" Ye Chi's tone was filled with anger, "These clans are really greedy!"

Li Si's face turned even more gloomy. In his hand, he tightly held a special list, which recorded a group of beauties that Zhao had collected in Handan.

These women originally had innocent births, but were forced to become tools for the clan’s enjoyment!
"How could the Zhao family be so cruel!" Li Si slammed the table angrily, "Not only are they extremely greedy, they also treat human life as worthless! These beauties, originally girls from decent families, were captured by them to serve dignitaries. It's simply outrageous!"

Upon hearing about the miserable plight of those beauties, Ye Chi frowned and ordered in a deep voice, "Release these beauties immediately, without any mistakes."

However, the clerks below were embarrassed and reported: "Sir, many women have lost their families and are left without support. Even if they are released, they have nowhere to go."

Li Si felt disappointed when he heard this.

He was well aware of the suffering these women had endured. Although they had now regained their freedom, their homes had been destroyed and their loved ones were gone. What would their future be like?

After thinking for a moment, Li Si decided to report to the Qin court and ask the First Emperor to make the decision.

Soon, the Emperor's decree came: "Order all localities and villages in Handan to organize manpower to properly place these homeless women, find good families for them, and allow them to settle down."

At the same time, the First Emperor also ordered that a large amount of wealth and grain of the clan be transported back to Xianyang. These wealth that originally belonged to the clan would now become the assets of the empire and be used for the construction and development of the country.

Li Si stood alone on the top of the high platform, his clothes fluttering in the wind, his gaze piercing through the busy crowd and reaching the sky.

In the distance, there are countless working figures, they are working hard for the future of Daqin.

This situation made Li Si feel an indescribable emotion in his heart!

Ye Chi stood beside Li Si, his face filled with a brilliant smile: "Prime Minister Li, these treasures are not just gold, silver, jewelry, grain and cloth, they are also the cornerstone of your majesty's colonization of the world and the guarantee of our great Qin's prosperity!"

At this point, a gleam of light flashed in Ye Chi's eyes. He seemed to have seen the magnificent scene of the Qin's iron cavalry marching all over the world with boundless territory!

"Prime Minister Li, look at this world, it will eventually belong to our Great Qin!" Ye Chi pointed to the distance and said with great pride.

Upon hearing this, Li Si also revealed a deep smile: "Yes, now that Your Majesty has these riches as a backing, our Great Qin will surely create an unprecedented prosperous era!"

……

at the same time.

In the land of Baiyue, war was raging.

Ye Chi's vicious plan was written by ghosts and gods, as sharp as a sword, and pointed directly at the heart of the Yue tribe!

Under this strategy, the Yue tribe was like a lone boat overturned by huge waves, retreating step by step and becoming completely defeated!
Their resistance seemed so pale and powerless in the face of Ye Chi's wisdom and the might of the Qin army!

The navy led by Wang Ben was like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.

The warships sailed through the waves, the morale of the soldiers was high, and every charge made the Yue people terrified!

The good news was transmitted back to the base camp in the rear like snowflakes. Every victory made the atmosphere in the base camp more enthusiastic. The soldiers cheered and applauded the bravery of Wang Ben's troops!
However, in this celebratory atmosphere, Tu Sui's mood became increasingly heavy!

He stood alone in the military tent, his eyes deep and worried.

He should have achieved great success in this expedition against the Baiyue people, but due to his carelessness for a moment, his 500,000-strong army was divided and was outflanked and attacked by the Yue people, resulting in heavy casualties!
"General, another victory report!" A soldier rushed into the military tent excitedly, holding high the battle report in his hand.

Tu Sui frowned slightly, took the battle report and glanced at it, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Another victory report from General Wang Ben?"

"Yes, General Wang has led the navy to victory after victory and has already approached the core area of ​​the Yue people!" The soldier's tone was full of admiration and excitement.

Tu Sui sighed softly and placed the battle report on the table: "Pass the order down, tell the soldiers to be on high alert and not let down their guard at all."

"promise!"

The soldier left as soon as he was told, but Tu Sui fell into deep thought.

He knew that although this campaign against Baiyue had achieved brilliant results, his mistakes had caused heavy casualties to the Qin soldiers.

He didn't know how to explain to the First Emperor after returning, and he was even more afraid of being retaliated by Ye Chi after returning.

Ye Chi is a man of deep scheming and vicious means. If he takes this opportunity to add insult to injury, I am afraid I will not be able to escape the disaster! !
