“…… Did the general say that he would reveal the itinerary of the eldest prince to the thieves in Qinzhou? But is it just a thief in Qinzhou? ”

After seeing Mu Qin and the others leave, Jin Song's gaze was a little strange.

Because don't look at Jin Song, who was also a general of the Handzhou Army at the beginning, he was just deployed to assist Song Shi in managing the troops, but if Jin Song really wanted to choose between Song Shi, who represented the official family, and the business skills that had established the Great Shang Kingdom, Jin Song still would not have any hesitation.

Because don't look at the fact that Shangshu has now succeeded in establishing its own country, but being able to build its own country does not mean that it can really continue the country, which can be seen from the fact that there are rebellions in North Vietnam almost every year, but no one can really divide North Vietnam.

Therefore, Jin Song is not without ambition, but before he has the ability to realize greater ambitions, at least Jin Song still knows that he must hide and develop under the protection of a greater force.

Therefore, don't look at the official eunuch family, which has just begun to develop into the military, but because of this, the official eunuch family will not allow the military forces represented by Song Shi to die lightly, so they will definitely give Song Shi the greatest support.

It's just that even if he understood that Song Shi wanted to take the opportunity to test and even borrow a knife to kill people, Jin Song didn't understand why Song Shi wanted to limit the scope of temptation to the thieves in Qinzhou.

After all, what can thieves in Qinzhou get by attacking Mu Qin?

Is it revenge on Emperor Qin Tulang who has left Qinzhou? That's ridiculous, isn't it?

As an elite of the official family, Song Shi was not surprised by Jin Song's doubts. After all, this can no longer be said to be a military plan and strategy, but a calculation in government affairs.

So he withdrew his gaze from Mu Qin's team. Song Shi looked back at Meng Sicheng of Yangchao Zhixian not far away and said: "It's very simple, it would be better if the thieves in Qinzhou could attack the eldest prince, otherwise they would definitely leak the eldest prince's itinerary to the thieves in other places to know, it just depends on who takes the bait." ”

“…… Bait? This matter should have nothing to do with Mengzhi County! ”

Although it is not clear why Song Shi was sure that the thieves in Qinzhou would attack Mu Qin and the others, or what kind of benefits Song Shi wanted to gain from them. But compared with the intentions of the official family, Jin Song also paid more attention to the development of Yangchao County.

So don't look at Mu Qin didn't pay much attention to Meng Sicheng when he was resting in Yangchao County, but thinking about Meng Sicheng's endurance and humiliation in Song Shi's military camp at the beginning, Jin Song didn't think that Meng Sicheng would really fall to Song Shi and the official family like himself.

After hesitating for a while, Song Shi quickly withdrew his gaze from Meng Sicheng before Meng Sicheng noticed it, and turned around and walked towards Yangchao County: "...... What to say! How could this matter have anything to do with Mengzhi County. I just want to see it. What is the relationship between Mengzhi County and the Emperor's Mansion? ”

What is the relationship with the Emperor's Mansion?

Hearing Song Shi's words, Jin Song, who turned around with Song Shi, didn't say anything more.

Because although it was a little late, after the official eunuch family finally found out the relationship between Meng Sicheng and Qin Qiaolian in the capital and spread it to Yangchao County, Jin Song couldn't help but be a little stunned when he learned the news. Because this does not mean that Meng Sicheng is a spy buried in Yangchao County and buried by the official eunuch family in the Emperor's Mansion. But as long as the Emperor's Mansion is willing. Jin Song believed that Meng Sicheng would definitely do something for the Emperor's Mansion willingly.

So even if you don't apologize for what you've done in the past. Neither Song Shi nor Jin Song dared to underestimate Meng Sicheng as before.

After all, with the Emperor's Mansion as the backstage, Meng Sicheng could still endure humiliation and burden in Song Shi's military camp, who was qualified to underestimate him.

I don't know that Song Shi and Jin Song have already learned their details or their relationship with Qin Qiaolian. After Song Shi and Jin Song left, Meng Sicheng was not in a hurry to leave.

Because even if Meng Sicheng didn't have a reason to befriend Mu Qin, he also didn't expect that Mu Qin and the others didn't pay attention to their own existence at all when they stayed in Yangchao County. There may be reasons why they don't know the relationship between Meng Sicheng and Qin Qiaolian and the Emperor's Mansion, but as Mu Qin, he is so slow to slack off on himself as a magistrate, which still makes Meng Sicheng a little incomprehensible.

After all, even if not too many people know about the relationship between Meng Sicheng and the Emperor's Mansion, as a protégé of the Son of Heaven who was admitted to the Tongguò Imperial Examination, Meng Sicheng and the others were personally sent to Xiqi County by the Emperor of Beiyue Shangtuyang to serve as officials.

Therefore, unless Mu Qin never thought about helping the Emperor of North Vietnam to consolidate his power, or even did not know that he wanted to help the Emperor of North Vietnam to consolidate his power, he should not ignore Meng Sicheng's efforts in Yangchao County as he is now.

But not to mention that Mu Qin has left now, it is useless for Meng Sicheng to think about these things anymore, whether Mu Qin can become a qualified emperor brother or not, it seems that it has nothing to do with Meng Sicheng.

Therefore, looking back and seeing that Song Shi and Jin Song had returned to the city, Meng Sicheng shook his head and said, "Let's go, let's take a look at the fields." ”

"Your Excellency is diligent!"

nodded, and when he heard Meng Sicheng's words, Liu Tao, the master who followed behind him, showed a slight joy.

Because unlike Meng Sicheng, a new imperial examiner who came to Renzhi County in Xiqi County from the capital of Beiyue Kingdom, Liu Tao was born and raised in Xiqi County, and has been serving as a master in Yangchao County. Therefore, whether Meng Sicheng is diligent or not will not only affect the future of Yangchao County, but also the future of Liu Tao.

Especially after the Western Qi State was incorporated into the North Yue State, there was no nuisance from the North Vietnamese army to feed the country by war, and both Liu Tao and any Western Qi people could imagine that the next step would be the great development of Xiqi County, at least the best period of great agricultural development.

So he was fed up with all kinds of troubles about lack of food and clothing, and Liu Tao also valued those who concentrated on farming more than to meet the so-called emperor's brother.

Therefore, although I don't know Meng Sicheng's background, let alone Meng Sicheng's humiliation at the hands of Song Shi, as long as Meng Sicheng can do it wholeheartedly for the people and farmers, this is enough for Liu Tao to follow Meng Sicheng wholeheartedly.

As for whether this is the reason why Meng Sicheng is so enthusiastic about government affairs when he first enters the officialdom, it naturally doesn't need Liu Tao to bother with his brains.

After all, all Liu Tao needs is an opportunity, an opportunity to revitalize Yangchao County and even Xiqi County.

As the magistrate of the county, Meng Sicheng naturally didn't need to care whether Liu Tao was happy or not, and walked all the way down the field outside the city wall and said: "Master Liu, you said that after our leveling this time, what will happen to the harvest of the field next year." ”

Although the autumn harvest has just passed, because the results of this autumn harvest are determined by the cultivation of the previous year, Liu Tao also knows that Meng Sicheng really cares about the harvest of the next year: "Don't worry, with the fields reclaimed and leveled by the adults this time, as long as there are enough manpower, Yangchao County will definitely get a bumper harvest next year." After all, affected by the war in the past, the land cultivation in Yangchao County was intermittent, and the accumulated fertility was not consumed, and the grain would naturally grow better. ”

Enough manpower?

Although I don't know if Liu Tao mentioned the so-called war in front of him on purpose, but thinking of manpower or something, Meng Sicheng also frowned slightly.

Because of the same influence of the North Vietnamese State's strategy of supporting the country by war, before the Western Qi State was incorporated into the North Yue State, 70% of the population of the Western Qi State could be gathered in the city of Western Qi, so after the Western Qi State was merged into the North Yue State, even though the state capital of the West Qi County has begun to move out of the residents of the West Qi City one after another, in a short period of time, the entire West Qi County still presents a shortage of manpower.

Therefore, I don't know where to recruit people, but this is the first problem that Yangchao County must face in the future. (To be continued......)
