It is also a coincidence that Wei Ji's brother-in-law was a Langguan in Zhongshu Province and accidentally learned that Ge Shuhan planned to recruit a large number of Shandong fugitives gathered between Weinan and Liyang.

At the beginning, Wei Ji didn't understand the meaning of Ge Shuhan's move, there were many people on the front line of Tongguan, and the soldiers were also continuously allocated by the imperial court, and with the arrival of a large number of elite soldiers in Longyou, the number of troops was no longer the first problem.

It was Wei Ji's brother-in-law who had some intelligence and actually gained insight into Ge Shuhan's intentions.

"Brother Shu Xianggong plans to let these Shandong fugitives go to Tongguan to fill their lives!"

"Fill in your life?"

Under the bitter cold, Wei Ji couldn't help but shiver. He was also well aware of the fugitives who had gathered between Weinan and Liyang, and they were originally going to flee to Chang'an, but the imperial court was afraid that hundreds of thousands of displaced people would arrive in Chang'an at every turn, which would bring an irreversible threat to the security of Gyeonggi.

So, after the political affairs hall discussed, Xingwen sent troops to stop all the fugitives on the front line of Liyang and Xinfeng. The second brother Shu Han was unwilling to bear the food of hundreds of thousands of people, so in order to avoid suspicion, he also sent troops to drive him away, and it was not until Weinan that he drew a line to prevent it.

Now the situation in Tongguan is suddenly tense, and Ge Shuhan doesn't want his soldiers to have too much attrition, so he started the idea of these hundreds of thousands of fugitives. Anyway, these people are also homeless fugitives, staying in Guanzhong can only consume food in vain, and it is also a hidden destabilizing factor, taking this opportunity to let the fugitives fill their lives, you can kill two birds with one stone.

Although this was only Wei Ji's speculation, as soon as the idea came to him, he had no doubt about the possibility.

Wei Ji's brother-in-law sneered again:

"Yang Xianggong is also having a headache for the resettlement of these fugitives, and now Ge Shuhan has taken the initiative to propose this method, which is to send charcoal in the snow, and I can't ask for it!"

At the mention of Yang Guozhong, Wei Ji's eyes suddenly lit up, and an idea was formed in his mind.

At noon the next day, after Wei Ji packed up his belongings, he went to Yang Guozhong's mansion to visit the deputy prime minister who was gradually grasping the center.

When Yang Guozhong heard the slave's report, the new Jingzhao Yin Weiji asked to see him, but he instinctively refused. But when the words came to my lips, I remembered something again, so I changed my mind again.

Before Wei Ji came, he had rehearsed the prepared rhetoric dozens of times, and even Yang Guozhong's various possible responses had been predicted in advance. Therefore, after meeting Yang Guozhong, he effortlessly aroused Yang Guozhong's strong interest.

The fugitives in Shandong did give him a bit of a headache, and now Wei Ji proposed a way to prevent Ge Shuhan from succeeding and to properly resettle these fugitives. Yang Guozhong felt that he could listen to it, and at least discuss how likely it was to be feasible.

Originally, he just had an attitude of listening to it, but with Wei Ji's in-depth explanation, Yang Guozhong was already excited. Because, in Wei Ji's words, there was a person's name that made his heart beat faster.

"Qin Jin, you mean to let Qin Jin be responsible for the food of the fugitives in Shandong?"

Yang Guozhong looked at Wei Ji in disbelief, wanting to reprimand him for talking nonsense, but he couldn't help but be curious, wanting to hear what good ideas this new Jing Zhaoyin had.

Wei Ji, Yang Guozhong has neither a good impression nor a bad feeling towards him, he was originally a person who rarely intersected, but now because he intervened in Jing Zhaoyin's position, he has been faintly hated by the most powerful person in the world after the Son of Heaven.

Deep doubts occupied Yang Guozhong's head, of course he knew that Wei Ji's Jing Zhao Yin was operated by Qin Jin with money, but how could Wei Ji sell Qin Jin, the investor, on his back foot?

Therefore, if we want to completely dispel the suspicion of Wei Ji, we must solve this doubt, otherwise everything will be impossible. However, Yang Guozhong did not intend to interrupt Wei Ji's eloquent talk, but listened attentively.

"Wei Ji served as Jing Zhaoyin, and he also served as the envoy of the canal, and the minister only ordered his subordinates to be responsible for the errand of dredging the canal, and a large number of people fled to Fengyi County. The government hall can write a document and ask the local treasury to advance the grain. Moreover, the magistrate had no chance of refusing. ”

After hearing this, Yang Guozhong high-fived and said, "Very wonderful!" But then he asked with a smile: "The copper seal on your waist was bought by Qin Jin for hundreds of thousands of dollars, is it unreasonable to dismantle his platform now?"

Wei Ji smiled slightly, he had long expected Yang Guozhong to ask this question.

"What kind of person does the minister think his subordinates are?"

Yang Guozhong was surprised: "What kind of person?"

At this point, there is no need to say it explicitly, what kind of person can it be, eating inside and crawling outside, and the person who will take revenge.

Thinking of this, Yang Guozhong burst into laughter in his heart, he really wanted to see what kind of expression this person would have on his face when he threw hundreds of thousands of fugitives to Feng Yijun. It's a pity that he can't see it.

The changes in Yang Guozhong's expression all fell on Wei Ji's eyes, and he knew that the time was ripe to further express his position.

"The subordinates know that offending some people is just a loss of reputation, and offending Yang Xianggong is that they can't sleep and eat, and they can't sit still!"

If Wei Ji had expressed his stance like this when they had just met, Yang Guozhong would have flatly refused to believe it. And at this time, these words came out of Wei Ji's mouth, and he already felt that it was a natural thing.

Yang Guozhong felt more and more relieved, and secretly proud in his heart, Qin Jin, Qin Jin, I can't imagine it, you spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy a Jing Zhaoyin for Wei Ji, but unexpectedly mistook the wolf for a dog.

"Okay, if you can promote this, Yang will let you be proud and smooth sailing in Jingzhaoyin's tenure!"

Wei Ji stood up and bowed humbly.

"It's all up to Yang Xianggong to cultivate!"

Back in the mansion, Wei Ji kept splashing ink, and in just a quarter of an hour, he wrote a secret letter, and then urgently ordered the domestic slaves to be sent to the secret joint location set up by the Shenwu Army in Chang'an City.

When Qin Jin received this letter, it was already the afternoon of the next day. He really didn't expect that Wei Ji would move so fast, and he actually contributed to the dredging of Zheng Baiqu in less than ten days after he took office as Jing Zhaoyin.

It happened that Du Fu came to discuss with Qin Jin about the revision of the decree, but when he saw Qin Jin laughing alone with the letter in his hand, he was very curious and asked, "What is it that makes you laugh?"

"Brother Zimei came just in time, look at it, Wei Ji's efficiency is extremely fast, and the river canal envoy is about to take office!"

Previously, Qin Jin had talked to Du Fu about dredging the Zhengbai Canal, at that time Du Fu still felt that this idea was tantamount to a fantasy, and now that the war is imminent, how could the Son of Heaven and the prime minister agree to this kind of project that consumes people's labor?

But after reading the secret letter handed over by Qin Jin, Du Fu's face was only incredible and incredulous.

"Wei Ji, Wei Ji, this is a strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf!"

Qin Jin nodded.

"Wei Jiqi has some intelligence, far beyond Qin's expectations!"

Du Fu explained his exorcism and only said.

"Didn't the envoy think that this was driving the tiger and the wolf for Yang Guozhong?"

After hearing this, Qin Jin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said, "So what? The result is what I want, what else can I worry about?"

"There are more than 100,000 fugitives in Shandong? Once they learn that there is a great and good man, the fugitives who are hiding everywhere will inevitably come out one after another, go to Feng Yi, go to Tongzhou, and ask the envoy for food and drink.

Qin Jin didn't think about it and replied: "Anyway, why don't you care? These people Yang Guozhong treat them as a disgrace, lest they lose it, but Qin Mou treats them as priceless treasures!"

It is true that the people's will is precious, and the people are important, and they have been saying these truths for more than a hundred years since the beginning of Taizong, but Du Fu still understands that it is extremely difficult to support so many fugitives with the treasury of Feng Yijun.

"Dredging the Zhengbai Canal with 100,000 people is enough, if the fugitives appear in multiples, won't you think about the consequences?"

There is only one consequence, that is, Feng Yijun ran out of food, and the fugitives were dissatisfied and became chaotic. At that time, let alone pacify Huangfu Ke in the Shenwu Army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to settle all the lice on his body.

"Brother Zimei is extremely worried!"

Du Fu was anxious and angry. Qin Envoy Jun has been indispensable until now, as if what he just said is far away for them, but in fact, it is already imminent.

"Envoy, since the envoy agrees with the judgment of his subordinates, why don't he make a decision?"

Qin Jin only responded with a smile: "Qin Mou has decided to go early, Brother Zimei can rest assured, Feng Yi can't mess up!"

Du Fu still wanted to persuade him, but suddenly a guard reported that a messenger from Tongguan had arrived.

Qin Jin was overjoyed and couldn't bother to talk to Du Fu, so he urgently ordered the guards to bring the Tongguan messenger to the main hall.

The messenger sent by Qibihe was an old man from Xin'an, and Qin Jin also knew this person, who was one of the more than 300 people when he cleaned up the unity soldiers. To this day, he is still able to pronounce everyone's name clearly and accurately.

"How is Zhao Shiyi you?Come on, what kind of letter did Qi He let you carry......

Seeing this, Du Fu knew that this kind of occasion was no longer suitable for the topic he had just discussed, and he felt that it seemed inappropriate for him to continue to stay in the main hall, so he bowed down and retired. Qin Jin smiled at him and said, "Brother Zimei, don't worry, the fugitive matter has long been expected by me, and it won't get out of control!"

With this solemn explanation, Du Fu finally felt at ease. At least he knew Qin Jin, although this person often acted unexpectedly, he would never let go of empty words.

Qin Jin ordered the servants to bring the tea soup, as well as the melons and fruits of the right age, so that the messenger named Zhao Shiyi could relieve the heat.

Zhao Shiyi was not polite, and after eating a few fruits, he took a long breath.

"It's better to make you comfortable here, Captain Qibi and we are suffering in Tongguan, not to mention eating seasonal melons and fruits, even if you are full!"

Qin Jin knew that what Zhao Shiyi said was true, Ge Shuhan had at least 200,000 soldiers in Tongguan, and there might be more than 200,000 people's miscellaneous laborers, so it was not unusual for food to be stretched thin.
