After finally ending the ceremony of entering the city, Yang Wu ordered someone to arrange a place for Feng Dao to live first, and then took Yang Jiong, Yang Longyan, Gao Mian, Chen Yanqian and others to the Huagai Hall to ask what happened in Jinling during this time.

During this time, the affairs of the court and the central government were decided by the crown prince Yang Jiong and others, although those important matters would generally be sent to Yang Wu for him to decide, but after all, he was in front of the army, and he was busy with affairs, so he paid much less attention to the affairs in the rear.

First of all, Chen Yanqian introduced the big and small affairs that happened during this time, and in general, it was quite calm, and nothing major happened.

The first thing is that the people of Qin Tianjian reported that next year may be a year of great drought, and the Jianghuai and Zhejiang regions are likely to suffer from drought.

For those Qin Tianjian people, how to predict the climate next year, no one understands, but the people of Qin Tianjian have also predicted the climate before, and they have predicted it more accurately.

Therefore, after receiving the report this time, it immediately attracted the attention of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

It's better to believe it than not, and in case there is a real drought next year, it's always good to make some preparations early.

Speaking of the great drought, there is one thing worth mentioning, that is, the Champa rice, which has been promoted in Wu for many years, has basically been popularized throughout Jianghuai and Zhejiang.

More importantly, after several years of cultivation and selection, the quality of Zhancheng rice has also been improved to a certain extent, which is more suitable for the soil climate of Jianghuai, Liangzhejiang and other places.

This new type of rice has completely confirmed its superiority compared with the previous traditional rice varieties, and has been loved by the people; In particular, its drought tolerance is a big advantage for a possible drought next year.

In addition to the possible drought, the second thing is that the local aborigines in the Wuzhou area, to which Zhejiang and Zhejiang belong, rebelled, gathered more than 30,000 troops and attacked the state capital.

Wuzhou Assassin Shi led 2,000 Xiang troops to hold the city for ten days, and waited until Li Chengding led the forbidden army to come, attacked inside and outside, broke the chaotic army, and quelled the rebellion.

This incident happened not long ago, when Yang Wu had pacified Jingxiang and was preparing to return to Jinling.

Considering that although the Wuzhou indigenous rebellion was relatively strong, it was put down in a short period of time and did not cause any major consequences, so Chen Yanqian and others did not report to Yang Wu immediately, but waited until he returned to Jinling before mentioning it.

Speaking of which, those natives are the most headache, and if they blindly kill, it may lead to a blood feud between the two sides, which will never be resolved, and only when those natives are completely exterminated can they be peaceful.

But how easy is it to completely exterminate the natives? The first is that those natives usually live in the deep mountains and old forests, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, if the army enters and suppresses, the other party drills into the mountains and forests, and when the army arrives, they will already hide without a trace.

If a small force is used, it may be ambushed, and the army may be defeated.

In addition to this reason, it is also worth noting that not all indigenous people are incompatible with Hermes-Epitek, and in fact there are still many indigenous people who want to live peacefully with Hermes-Epitek and even welcome Hermes-Epitek to develop the area.

These natives, who are more friendly to the Han people, naturally cannot be exterminated; However, these natives and those who oppose the Han people have the same customs, the same costumes, and the same language, and it is difficult for outsiders to clearly distinguish which natives are friendly to the Han people and which are against the Han people.

In short, dealing with those indigenous forces has always been a headache, and now Li Chengding has led 5,000 forbidden troops to clear the local area, but no results have been achieved so far.

As for the third thing, that is, the Hangzhou Thorn Shi reported that it hoped to build a stone pond on the Qiantang River to protect the riverside farmland from being eroded by the tide, and at the same time it could also have the function of storing water, so that the riverside farmland could be irrigated.

This report was only reported the day before yesterday, and before Chen Yanqian and the others had time to deal with it, Yang Wu had already returned, and now he naturally had to wait for Yang Wu to come up with an idea.

Yang Wu's heart moved, and he looked at the crown prince Yang Jiong with a smile and said: "In the past few months, the prince has been in charge of the country, and the court and the central government have praised it, and I think you should also have some experience." What do you think of this report on the history of Hangzhou? ”

No matter how strong the Wu State is, it will be handed over to the next generation of talents in the future.

Therefore, it is naturally an important thing to conquer the Quartet and expand the territory of Wu, but cultivating the next generation is also a major matter related to the safety of the country.

At this time, he naturally wanted to test Yang Jiong.

Yang Jiong replied unhurriedly: "Father Qiqi, the son thinks that the report of the Hangzhou Assassin is extremely timely, didn't it just now say that there may be a big drought next year?" If this stone pond can be built well, it will not only prevent the tide, but also store water for irrigation. Therefore, Erchen agreed to build the Hanhai Stone Pond. ”

"Well, that's good." Yang Wu smiled and nodded, extremely satisfied with Yang Jiong's answer.

For a seven-year-old, it's good to think of that.

Of course, Yang Wu also knew that someone might have mentioned it to him before, after all, the Hangzhou Assassin reported the matter two days ago, and the crown prince who was the supervisor of the state during this period should have discussed it with the ministers a long time ago.

Yang Wu nodded and looked at the others, "What do you think?" ”

"The ministers agree with the prince's opinion." The ministers replied one after another.

Even if you don't give the prince a face, just based on the "good" that Yang Wu just said, everyone knows how to answer.

Seeing that the ministers unanimously agreed, Yang Wu immediately issued an edict to approve the plan to build the Hanhai Stone Pond.

"I remember that in history, this plan was approved by Qian Hao, and it has been preserved for hundreds of years, which has greatly promoted the development of Hangzhou. Unexpectedly, after inheriting the territory of Liangzhejiang now, these things will also fall on the head of Wu State. ”

Of course, this is also a good thing, and it will also be a historical achievement in the future to engage in more development and construction.

After briefly talking about these three important things, Chen Yanqian said a few other things, but they were relatively not that important, and Yang Wu only briefly understood them, and did not ask too much.

Then, Yang Wu asked again, "What is the matter with Feng Dao?" He said he was involved in a major case and spent months in prison before he was finally cleared. Lone couldn't figure it out, he Feng Dao was a northerner, and he also joined the army under the command of Liu Shouguang, the king of Yan, and it stands to reason that if such a person comes to my Wu country, he must be reused according to his ability. ”

"So what kind of big case is this Feng Dao involved in?" Yang Wu asked with squinted eyes.

This matter, he wanted to ask when he met Feng Dao on the street before, but he didn't have time, and now that he was dealing with the right thing, he naturally wanted to ask.

The ministers bowed their heads, no one answered, Yang Wu's face gradually sank, turned his head to look at Zhou Yin and said: "Zhou Yin, you are responsible for the affairs of this Dali Temple and the Ducha Academy, tell me, what is going on?" ”

Zhou Yin had no choice but to stand up and say: "King, not long after you led your troops to Jiangling, the messengers of Jinling inadvertently caught two Liang State Xiaozuo during an inventory, one of them was from Yan State. ”

Later, Yin Song Qiqiu of Jinling Mansion considered that there were too many people who went south from the north during this time, although most of them were scholars who went south to participate in the imperial examination, but it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no detailed work hidden in them. Therefore, Song Qiqiu suggested that all the northerners in the city should be cleaned up. ”

"At that time, after Song Qiqiu made a suggestion, I and other cabinet ministers thought that this matter was too involved and could not be acted rashly, otherwise it might affect the hearts of those northern scholars. So in the end, it was just the people who approved the Long Sword Capital to secretly investigate. ”

"However, after a few days, the people of the Long Sword Capital really found a fine work among those scholars."

Now there is no reason for the ministers of the court to oppose it anymore. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally ordered a large-scale inventory of the northerners who had gone south for most of the past six months to sweep away the details. In the end, a total of more than a dozen people were suspected of being sent by the enemy, including Feng Dao. ”

Yang Wu nodded, this point is actually what it should mean, after all, so many northerners go south, if Liang Guo doesn't take the opportunity to plant some fine works in it, this is something that Yang Wu doesn't believe.

However, this still can't explain why Feng Dao was involved, after all, in comparison, many other scholars are unknown people in the north, and they have no merit on their bodies, and it is even more difficult for this kind of person to verify his identity.

If Liang Guo wants to install a detailed work, it must also be placed among these people, making it difficult for Wu Guo to find out.

But Feng Daoke is different, he was originally a member of the army under Liu Shouguang, the king of Yan, and his identity is public, which is much easier to verify, and it is difficult to say that this person is meticulous.

I only heard Zhou Yin continue: "The reason why Feng Dao was arrested is not that he is suspected of being a fine work of the Liang State, but that he is a fine work of the Jin State. Because he is said to have dealings with some officials of the Jin State, especially with Zhang Chengye, the military envoy of the Jin State, it is said that the two had a personal relationship. ”

Furthermore, Song Qiqiu also mentioned that this person took the initiative to befriend him as soon as he came to Wu State, and revealed his intention to be reused. Since this Feng Dao is a northerner, and there are many ways to go to the Jin Kingdom, why didn't he go to the Jin Kingdom, but he had to go all the way south to Jinling, isn't it worth doubting? ”

Yang Wu's face suddenly darkened, how similar is this to a trumped-up charge? Similarly, there is no actual evidence, and it is too much to rely on suspicion to beat a very talented and aspiring young man who has come thousands of miles into a Jin State and put him in prison for several months, right?

Of course, although he was dissatisfied, Yang Wu did not have an immediate attack, after all, if there is a suspicion, it must be investigated, and no hidden dangers can be left.

If Yang Wu didn't know that Feng Dao in history was not a meticulous person at all, he was afraid that he would also have doubts in his heart.

So he asked with a calm face, "Then how did you confirm Feng Dao's innocence later?" ”

This next Zhou Yin was a little embarrassed, and said: "King, in fact, in the end, it can't confirm Feng Dao's innocence, and of course there is no evidence to confirm that this person is a fine work." However, after a few months in prison, His Royal Highness King Hailing decided that since there was no actual evidence, he could not be kept in prison forever, so he was released. ”

"The second brother ordered him to be released?" Yang Wu lowered his head and pondered, but he felt a little pity in his heart.

Although it is only an order, there are many issues involved, the first of which is courage.

For this kind of person who is suspected of having a problem, the general idea may be that they would rather kill the wrong person than let it go; At most, if they are merciful, they will keep them locked up until their identity can finally be confirmed.

But Yang Longyan directly ordered the release, and he was stronger than others just because of this kind of courage.

And the second point is to buy people's hearts.

Imagine that after Feng Dao went through this incident, if he learned that it was Yang Longyan who finally ordered his release, what would Feng Dao think, would he have the idea of the death of a confidant?

"It's a pity, if Jiong'er ordered it, it would be great!" Yang Wu sighed in his heart.

No matter how close his brother is, no matter how wise he behaves, he can't pass on the throne to him, that's the way to get rid of chaos.

Fortunately, Yang Longyan doesn't seem to have any ambitions at the moment, if he really has any ambitions, he is afraid that he will go to woo Feng Dao immediately after releasing him; And Feng Dao didn't have to take the risk of stopping his big driver, and almost died because of it.

He continued, "What about the other dozen or so people who are suspected of being meticulous? How is it dealt with in the end? ”

"Among the others, five of them, like Feng Dao, are people whose identities are difficult to identify, and they were finally released by order of His Royal Highness King Hailing."

"The other seven people have been confirmed to be the detailed works of the Liang State or the Jin State, and their identities are undoubtedly conclusive, and they are still being detained."

"In addition, there is another person who has been identified as Zhang Yanhan, the son of Zhang Shensi, the original Caizhou assassin of Liang Guoyuan, although this person claimed to have gone south to participate in the imperial examination, but he did not take the initiative to reveal his father's identity before, and his father is still serving in Liang State, so His Royal Highness King Hailing did not order his release."

"Zhang Yanhan?" Yang Wu's heart moved, "It seems that this person has been the prime minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty?" In this way, this person must not be the meticulous work of Liang State, but the one who really went south to join Wu State. ”

"Moreover, this person has a father who is a big official in the Liang Kingdom, and after arriving in the Southern Wu Kingdom, he will naturally be careful to hide his identity, otherwise after the news is exposed, it will not only affect his own future, but also his father and other clansmen who remain in the Liang Kingdom."

"So it's perfectly normal that he doesn't take the initiative to reveal his identity."

After listening to the whole thing, Yang Wu nodded, although he was not satisfied with the details of this investigation, but he did not criticize anyone.

After all, in the end, seven fine works were indeed found among those people, which shows that the previous suspicion itself was correct.

As for the innocent people in the middle, it is inevitable that they will be imprisoned for this.

"That Zhang Yanhan, he shouldn't be Liang Guo's fine work, let's release him later." Yang Wu immediately ordered.

"Yes, the minister will order someone to do it." Zhou Yin hurriedly replied.

Then, after hesitating for a moment, he said, "King, in fact, there seems to be other hidden secrets in the middle of this whole thing. ”

Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said, "Something else? If there is anything else hidden, you can talk about it. ”
