When Li Zhi entered the court, Ling Jing also launched an investigation in Nanpi County, and the reason why he came to Nanpi County instead of Yanshan, where the Zhuan Lun Sect started, was because intelligence suggested that a batch of military equipment was in transit in Nanpi County and would soon be transported to Yanshan.

With Ling Jing, there are a total of thirty Black Ice Terrace warriors, all of whom are the most elite soldiers of the Black Ice Terrace, they have been engaged in espionage for many years, and have great insight into suspicious points, the leader of the Lang General is named Shen Cong, he is a native of Bohai County, born in poverty, was originally Gao Shida's subordinate, and was later reorganized by Dou Jiande, and when Dou Jiande was defeated and retreated to Qingzhou, he was incorporated into the infantry of the Sui Army at that time. Because of his simple background and shrewdness, he became a member of the Black Ice Terrace.

Nanpi County is one of the most important land and water transit in Jizhou, and there are two official roads on the land. In terms of waterways, it is the confluence of Yongji Canal and Zhangshui, not to mention the Yongji Canal that goes directly to the Yellow River, and if you go west along Zhangshui, you can write a big book.

Zhangshui to the west, passing through the three counties of Qinghe, Wuyang and Wei County, reaching Tonglu County, Shangdang County, Bingzhou, and then connecting Fenshui and Zhangshui by the new canal, arriving at Jiexiu County, Xihe County, going north to Taiyuan County and Loufu County, and then passing through the canal between Jingle County and Xinkou of Loufu County, connecting Hutuoshui, directly to Hengshan County, Jizhou, and reaching the sea.

This interlocking water transport channel was dredged by foreign slaves and prisoners of war, and more than 300,000 Turks, Khitans, and Goguryeo people died here, and the bones were piled up into a mountain. However, the people of the Great Sui who were born in the troubled times are only afraid of the living and not afraid of the dead ghosts, so no matter how many aliens die, everyone doesn't care, as long as it is convenient to travel.

Originally, Yang Tong was not so ruthless, and originally planned to split the aliens to various counties in the interior to supplement the population of the Great Sui and increase the tax revenue of the imperial court, but Wei Zheng smashed Yang Tong's kindness with a word.

Wei Zheng said this: "Holy Lord, you said that no inch of land in the Great Sui is superfluous, but you respectfully invite people of different races to enter the Sui and give hundreds of acres of fertile land that have been cultivated by ancestors for generations to be cultivated by foreign races, what is the difference between this and attracting thieves into the household?" If you think there is a lot of fertile land, why don't you give a few acres to the poor people of Dasui? Why don't you feel more sorry for your people? In addition, after a large number of these aliens joined the Sui nationality, they were equal to the status of the people of their own nationality, but because of their different beliefs and customs, it was inevitable that disputes would occur after getting along for a long time. The help of local officials may chill the hearts of the people; Helping relatives makes people of different races indignant, such a small contradiction, after decades of accumulation, eventually becomes a deep hatred, when the time comes, the foreign people also want to rebel, their own people also want to rebel, what should the court do? ”

Yang Tong, who was dripping in a cold sweat, realized his mistake and asked Yu Wei Zheng with a clear awakening: "Then according to Wei Qing's opinion, how to solve so many slaves?" ”

"Men, continue to open mountains and build roads and dig canals; As for the women, pick out the beautiful ones and give them to the officers and soldiers in the army, and multiply them from generation to generation, so that the men and women of my Great Sui Dynasty will become the most handsome and beautiful people in the world; The ugly women, the sturdy women, were called by men. Wei Zheng said.

As a result, the conditions for naturalization became more stringent, and hundreds of thousands of ugly women and sturdy women who were trafficked to Sui were also reduced to members of the construction site because of Wei Zheng's words, contributing to the infrastructure projects of the Great Sui, and various grand projects were also in full swing because of so much extra skills.

In order to introduce fine varieties and improve the quality of the people on the mainland, the merchant caravan specially opened the population trading window to Goguryeo and Silla, these two countries have been fighting and killing intermittently since the Han Dynasty, and it is also a country with more women and fewer men.

As for Baekje, it has been plagued by Japanese slaves for several generations, and the women born are several times uglier than Turkic women, and their beauties are not enough to be self-sufficient, how can there be more beauties to sell to the Great Sui? Those short, ugly and thin women, even if they are willing to sell, Da Sui will not accept them. Even if you give it away for free, so as not to waste food.

At the intersection of Zhangshui and Yongji Canal in Nanpi County, there are not only official warehouses for hoarding grain from Liaodong, but also more than 1,000 private warehouses of all sizes have been established in the city, and many private houses have also been rented out as warehouses. Breaking through the Baoqiu water of the Yanshan Mountains, reaching the grassland, Baoqiu water because of the water limitation, can not travel more than a thousand stones, but it is also far larger than the land transportation volume in the north, time-saving, and money-saving, so the merchants of the Great Sui are willing to go to the grassland through this golden waterway, and the Turks, the Murwei people, and the Tatar people do business.

In this way, Nanpi County, which is the hub of water transportation, has become a concentration of goods in the Great Sui Dynasty and a scattered place for grassland goods, and there are many wineries, teahouses and inns in the county, and the business is very developed.

As the head of Dasui business, Ling Jing likes this lively business atmosphere very much, and has a sense of relief to watch the children grow up. There were a lot of caravans here, so their group of merchants dressed as sightkeeping merchants didn't attract attention.

After entering the city, they stayed in the hero building managed by the disabled soldiers, and they chartered an independent courtyard. When he got inside, Ling Jing closed the door, took out a map of Bohai County and spread it on the table, and discussed it with Shen Cong, he first pointed to the location of the north gate of Nanpi and said: "We are now at the gate of the north city, and our goal is to ...... here" said, his finger pointed not far to the south, "The intelligence said that there is a warehouse called Xingyou Tianxia, there are ten warehouses in it, this is the material transfer of the Wheel Sect, according to the information we have obtained, there are a thousand pairs of Mingguang armor and a thousand horizontal knives in this warehouse." ”

"How many great Sui's Mingguang armors are numbered, where did these come from?" Shen Guang couldn't help but ask.

"Jing Xiang!" Ling Jing didn't wait for Shen Cong to ask, so he added, "From this, we can know that the Reincarnation Sect is inextricably linked with Li Yuan. ”

"Shangshu is going to destroy this traveling world?"

"Naturally not!" Ling Jing shook his head and said, "Our purpose is to find the Wheel Sect's lair, and this batch of military materials is extremely valuable, it will definitely be sent to the Wheel Sect's lair, General Shen's task is to follow this batch of materials." ”

"The Admiral understands."

"Judging from the time of intelligence, this batch of materials has either been transported or recently transported, so the first step is to confirm that this batch of materials is still in the warehouse, and the second step is to wait for them to leave."

"Shangshu, there will be something unclear in the end."

"Just ask!"

"Since we already know that the Nanpi County Order is a high-ranking figure of the Wheel Sect, why don't we just arrest and torture them?"

"These so-called Buddhas may not know where the lair of the Wheel Sect is located, and rashly attacking these people will only startle the snake; If the armor and horizontal knives have already been transported, we can only do this. ”

"The Admiral understands."

"You also know that after the river thaws, my Great Sui will launch a big war, this battle is very important, the whole court is based on this war, and there is not too much energy to pay attention to internal affairs, if the Rotation Sect rebels in the Bohai Sea at a critical moment, it will definitely affect the combat soldiers, so we must uproot this nail before the river thaws. This is a major matter that the Holy Lord personally grasps, and I hope that General Shen will be cautious and cautious. ”

Shen Cong nodded silently, and suddenly felt a heaviness on his shoulders.
