Dai Li invited Xiao Renjie and others for several days in a row, and saw that the three of them did not move in the slightest, so Dai Li began to perform the functions of his county order, not to mention that Dai Li's ability is indeed very strong, and within a few days, Xingguo County returned to its previous prosperity scene.

Xiao Renjie had nothing to do that day, so he was about to take Feng Tingting out for a walk, and as soon as he left the courtyard, he saw Xu Yan who was pretending to be exercising and Zhao Yan who happened to be passing by, Xiao Renjie said with a smile: "Morning, two adults." ”

"Haha, early, Brother Xiao Xian." Xu Yan replied with a smile.

"Two adults, why did you get up so early today? Isn't that gentle country beautiful? Xiao Renjie sneered.

Xu Yan waved his hand and said: "I'm old, it's not as good as you young people, I feel like this old waist is not good these days." ”

Zhao Yan blushed rarely, and said with a haha: "Okay, one or two women, who still cares about it, Lao Zhao I am a straight person, I won't talk about it today, I just want to ask Brother Xiao Xian what his plans are in the future, we can't eat and drink here all the time, don't forget that we still have business." ”

Xiao Renjie secretly made a silent gesture and said: "Two adults, our main business is to rebuild Xingguo County, and restore the salt works as soon as possible, as for some other miscellaneous matters, please rest assured."

Xu Yan was an old fox, and he immediately understood what Xiao Renjie meant, arched his hand to Xiao Renjie, and then pulled Zhao Yan, who didn't know why, and left.

After the two left, Feng Tingting frowned and asked, "Renjie, aren't they reliable either?" ”

Xiao Renjie said with a smile: "These two people are old officials, and they know better than anyone else about the officialdom, but the two old foxes have been pretending to be stupid and don't say anything, do you know why?" ”

Feng Tingting shook her head suspiciously.

Xiao Renjie explained: "Because they are afraid, the water in Xingguo County is indeed very deep, and there may be a big person behind it, so they all want to hide, and now I just gave them a chance, of course they will escape." ”

"Hmph, a group of cowards, isn't it just a mere Langya County Taishou? What is there to be afraid of. Feng Tingting snorted coldly.

Xiao Renjie smiled bitterly: "It would be nice if it were so simple, in recent years, Xuzhou, Langya, Jiaodong, Yuhang and other coastal areas have had many Japanese invaders, Xingguo County is not the first, nor will it be the last, so there is definitely a big problem in these eight counties." ”

"Eight counties? That is more than 30% of the Tang Dynasty, and it is all rich land, if this is a mess, it will be terrible. Feng Tingting covered her mouth and said.

Xiao Renjie thought for a while and said slowly: "So I don't quite understand what Your Majesty means this time, this is a big pustule on the empire's body, if there is no solution, squeezing it now will only endanger the safety of the empire." ”

Feng Tingting held Xiao Renjie's hand and said, "Renjie, don't think about it, Your Majesty is a holy monarch, and there will definitely be a way to solve it." ”

Xiao Renjie nodded and said, "I hope so." ”

The two came to the human market recommended by Dai Li, and found that the human market here mainly sells Goryeo and Fusang people, and there are no Tang people anymore, which is also related to His Majesty's vigorous promotion of foreign slaves.

Feng Tingting came to this kind of place for the first time, seeing that many girls were unclothed, like utensils for others to choose, Xiao Renjie hurriedly grabbed Feng Tingting and said: "Don't be impulsive, first of all, these people are not our Tang people, and besides, there are too many such things, not only in Xingguo County, but all over the country." ”

Under Xiao Renjie's persuasion, Feng Tingting finally calmed down her anger, at this moment a beggar came over, Feng Tingting is a soft-hearted girl, looking at this beggar pitiful, she was ready to take out some money from the money bag to reward, Feng Tingting just took out the money bag, Xiao Renjie saw the beggar stretch out his dirty hands, and shouted: "Be careful." ”

It's a pity that it's still late, the beggar snatched the money bag from Feng Tingting's hand and ran away, Feng Tingting immediately chased after her, Xiao Renjie also followed when she saw this, for some reason, Xiao Renjie always felt that those eyes were very familiar.

Xiao Renjie and the others chased into a small alley, and the beggar stopped running, and the beggar showed a true face and said with a wicked smile: "Wang Zhen has seen Xiao Gongzi and Miss Feng." ”

Xiao Renjie snorted coldly: "Wang Zhen, no wonder it feels so familiar, let's say, why did you go to great lengths to call me here?" ”

"Haha, it's worthy of Xiao Gongzi, what you see is thorough."

"Hmph, you Jinyi people like to engage in these crooked ways." Feng Tingting said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Zhen scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, I'm here today to convey three news to Xiao Gongzi, I don't know if Xiao Gongzi is interested." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, say it quickly."

Wang Zhen said with a smile: "The first news is that the Northeast Sailor has found the hiding place of those widows, not far from Xingguo County, it is estimated that good news will come in the next few days, the second thing is to tell Xiao Gongzi an address, Xiao Gongzi went here, and found evidence that he could move to Daili, and when the time comes, there are people from the Northeast Sailor outside, and please Xiao Gongzi can catch Dai Li and others." ”

"What about King Lu's side? I informed King Lu in advance. Xiao Renjie said dissatisfiedly, anyone who has a good plan will not be happy if it is changed in a mess.

"Xiao Gongzi, please rest assured about this, because I have assessed the strength of both sides of the enemy and us, and those disciples of Dai Li will not be the opponents of the Northeast Naval Division, so I told Your Majesty on my own initiative, Lu Di's soldiers are not needed, and the people and money will not be lost." Wang Zhenman replied nonchalantly.

Hearing this, Xiao Renjie's face was even more ugly, Xiao Renjie said coldly: "Wang Zhen, hurry up and say the third news, if it's bad news again, believe it or not, I'll kill you." ”

Wang Zhen took a few steps back and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't worry, Xiao Gongzi, it's good news, 100% good news, I'll just tell you what Your Majesty said." ”

"Say."

"Renjie, since the first emperor and the Southern Chu had a bad relationship, in order to avoid the Southern Chu fleet from invading the coastal areas, so the first emperor issued a sea ban "no piece of board can go to the sea", but over the years, there have been more and more incidents of invasion by the Japanese at sea, so I decided to open the sea, for which I have made a lot of preparations in advance, such as re-establishing two shipyards in Langya and Jiangdu, building new warships, allowing whaling, etc., now you are the last link in my plan, remember one thing, this matter is over to Langya County Guard, and it must not be widely implicated. After saying that, Wang Zhen fled, he was really afraid that Xiao Renjie would beat him and be beaten by Uncle Guo, and he didn't even have a place to reason.

After Wang Zhen left, Feng Tingting muttered dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty's will is true, it is really inexplicable that Dai Li and the others are the agents who were pushed to the front, but they didn't pursue the villains behind them." ”

Xiao Renjie said with a smile: "I understand what Your Majesty means, Your Majesty wants to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, if you kill all the forces behind it, then even if Your Majesty opens the sea ban, no one will dare to go to sea." ”
