Thinking that there was no time to lure the spies to the Shence Army, the Fifth Shouliang rashly sent someone to steal it because he didn't know the secrecy and importance of the new weapon.

This is a godsend.

Fifth Shouliang didn't know the importance of this new weapon, and Li Shi's secrecy about it. Even if this matter is verified, it is estimated that there will not be any serious consequences.

As long as it is not a thief and a person from the feudal town, it is not serious, plus the fifth Shouliang is a close confidant of Ju Wenzhen, and Ju Wenzhen is excusing him, this matter is likely to only give the fifth Shouliang a slight punishment in the end.

So if you report it now, there will be no result.

But this is an opportunity, the spies can follow this clue to find out the Shence Army, and then "incidentally" discover the criminal evidence done by those people in the Shence Army.

Those incriminating evidence seem to be shocking, if it is handed over to the emperor, even if Ju Wenzhen is deeply trusted by the emperor, it will only protect Ju Wenzhen, as for those guardian lieutenants or supervisors in the Shence army, they must be severely punished.

And if there were no guards lieutenants and supervisors in the Shence Army, the "Light Pole Commander" Ju Wenzhen would be nothing at all.

Therefore, it is useless to report the results to the emperor at this time.

It has to be delayed, until the incriminating evidence of the Shence Army is accidentally "discovered" by the spies when they investigate this matter without opinion.

And now, it's just waiting quietly.

Spring is gradually coming, and the weather is finally starting to warm up.

After a new rain, the water on the bluestone pavement has not dried, and the thatched eaves are still falling drop by drop. The sky is clear, and the sky is purer after the rain.

In the experimental fields in Weinan, many people have already begun to turn over the soil and fertilize the fields, preparing for the spring planting in the future.

In Lingnan Road, the rice seeds in the experimental field are almost mature and ready to be harvested.

"In several pilot counties in Lingnan Province, Champong rice is growing very well and is now ripe and ready for harvesting. I'm afraid it's already done by now. Wei Qing, take a look! Li Shi handed over the report in his hand.

Wei Renshi hurriedly stepped forward to take the report with both hands, looked down, and saw that it was written on the planting situation of Champa rice, and after planting it for more than 50 days, it was already mature and ready for harvesting, and it was conservatively estimated that one acre of land could get about eight stones, which was slightly more!

The yield of Champong rice is high, and it can reach a yield of about seven or eight stones per mu under the condition of harvesting by heaven like the Huan Kingdom, not to mention in the hands of Chinese who are good at farming and taking care of crops.

After reading it, Wei Renshi put the report back and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." It's just that the experimental fields in other places are still not ripe, and the experimental fields in the north can only be planted this spring. ”

"Hehe, I already believe what Wei Qing said now." Li Shi said with a smile: "Three crops a year, one mu and eight stones, so one acre of land can get twenty-four stones of grain in a year!" That's a ...... It's a pity that there are too few places where Datang can grow three times a year! This ring kingdom, with the strength of my Tang Dynasty, should have no problem dealing with it. It's just that once the troops move, they will go to the Kingdom of Huan, and they are afraid that the Hebei Domain will move. ”

"It's still what Weichen said earlier, the Shence Army can't be moved, and it must be used to stabilize the country. If you want to take control of the Xiahuan Kingdom and make it a granary of the Tang Dynasty, you must use other armies other than the Shence Army. Wei Renshi said: "There are now 60,000 Jinwuwei, of which 30,000 of the original right Jinwuwei have all been replaced with new weapons, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the Shence Army." Even with the power of new weapons, it may be slightly better. The 30,000 talents of the Zuojinwu Guards had just begun training, and they were still useless. But in just one or two years, these 30,000 people have also been equipped, and the training is completed, and the 60,000 Jinwu Guards feel that it is enough to deal with the Ring Kingdom. ”

Li Shi listened, was silent for a moment, and asked again: "The two people who stole the new weapons, can you find out the details?" ”

Wei Renshi said: "Those spies are already investigating. Because it is necessary to secretly investigate, it cannot be too quiet, so it is carried out quietly, and it will be slightly slower, so as not to startle the snake. For now, the spies had pried open the mouths of the two men, but what they had confessed needed to be checked in case they were deliberately lying and misleading. ”

Li Shi nodded, and said, "This matter must be done as soon as possible." A cadre in the capital's ordnance supervision must also be screened. Those guards who are guarding, also need to be investigated. If you are a member of the feudal town, you must find out where the feudal town is. ”

"Obey." Wei Ren gave a salute.

Li Shi said again: "This rice planting is another great achievement. I deserve a reward. When the rice seeds that were tried to be planted are harvested, it is the time when I am rewarded. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wei Renshi said, Li Shi didn't have anything else to do, so he let Wei Renshi leave.

After coming out of the palace, Wei Renshi went straight to the right Jinwu guard, sat in the military tent for a while, and then sent someone to call Ding Liuyong.

"General, you're looking for me." After Ding Liuyong arrived, he asked.

Wei Renshi nodded and asked, "Can the spy verify the words of those two?" ”

Ding Liuyong nodded and said, "It has been checked, those two are indeed in the Shence Army, but whether they are really the instructions of the Fifth Shouliang still needs to be investigated." Gain's spies are not easy to get close to the Fifth Shouliang, they didn't have a foundation before, and now they suddenly can't get too close to the Fifth Shouliang, and he often doesn't come out in the Shence Army, and it's not easy to listen. ”

"In that case, let's put those two back." Wei Renshi said to Ding Liuyong: "Fifth Shouliang didn't know that the new weapons were so valued by His Majesty's secrecy, if these two people were locked up for too long, it would inevitably make him careless." Put these two back, don't grow, and don't let the Fifth Shouliang realize His Majesty's attention to these new weapons. ”

"Oh?" Ding Liuyong was stunned for a moment and said, "In this way, wouldn't the fifth Shouliang not be punished by His Majesty?" ”

Wei Renshi shook his head and said, "The fifth Shouliang punishment is not punished, but it is a trivial matter. At the moment, do you want to check whether the fifth Shouliang is just interested in the new weapon, his heart is unbalanced, and he just wants to see the new weapon, so he sent someone to steal it, or is there someone behind him who instructed him to steal the new weapon for other purposes. This is important. If it's the latter, then ......"

Wei Renshi didn't continue, but Ding Liuyong already understood.

"Or the general thinks cautiously!" Ding Liuyong nodded and said, "I'll arrange it." It's just that we'd better try to put a few spies in the Shence Army, so that we can find out the intentions of the Fifth Shouliang. ”

"Not bad." Wei Renshi said: "You find good people, I'll figure it out." ”
