"Looking for me, is there anything special?" Su Junbao asked, glancing at the room, Li Lu was actually there.

"Of course there is something, we are discussing the matter of suppressing bandits in Fenglan and the whole territory!" Meng Tiande said.

"Bandits?"

"That's right, it's a bandit!"

Prime Minister Mogu greeted him, this person looked elegant, the appearance of a scholar, he said: "Since the beginning of spring, we have stabilized the situation, most of the work has been settled, and we have resisted the continuous intrusion of Zichuan on the border, and the country has collected nearly half of the tax this year, and the people should also be able to recuperate, there is only one thing, that is, the bandits in the territory are becoming more and more serious, especially in the area of the Black Mill Cliff in the east, which is the most serious, not only burning and looting nearby villages, even not long ago, The grain that the DPRK and China transported to help the reconstruction after the winter disaster has been snatched up, is it really extremely arrogant? ”

Hearing this, Yan Guiyi, who was sitting above, also frowned, on the way from the fiefdom to the royal city, he had personally experienced the harm of banditry, and almost lost his life because of it, it was still in the north, and now it seems that the banditry in the east seems to be more serious.

"Oh? There is such a thing. Su Junbao also began to listen carefully.

Mogu continued: "Banditry has always been a big problem in our Northern Plains, but it's especially serious over there! As far as the minister knows, in the eastern realm, those large and small bandits of all sizes do not matter, among them there are two largest and most famous bandits, one is Li Baotian on the Black Devil Cliff, this person is rumored to be a rare master of the ancient realm, but he occupies the mountain as the king and becomes the leader of the bandits, specializing in killing people and goods, and his subordinates have gathered thousands of people and horses, and they are the kings and hegemons in that area, no one can manage them, and they have harmed countless people around the fish and meat. ”

"Thousands of centaurs!"

When Su Junbao heard it, he was taken aback, it was a big force.

"If you can pull up a few thousand people, I'm afraid you have to operate for several years, hasn't anyone cleared it during this period?" He asked.

Cracking down on bandits has always been one of the main tasks of the officers and troops.

"Someone put it forward, but at that time, Lin Wenxuan and Tong Minghai were in power, and their opinions could not reach a unity, so they have been delayed until now, allowing them to develop and grow." Mogu Road.

"Oh!"

Su Junbao nodded, knowing a little that Li Baotian could develop and grow, and I am afraid that he would not be able to get rid of some people in the court, otherwise he would not have delayed a clear matter so far.

Mogu continued: "The area controlled by Li Baotian was originally a trade route, and before there were no bandits, there were many caravans from other vassal countries that would pass through there, bringing huge benefits to our Fenglan country, but since they were occupied by Li Baotian, they burned, killed and looted, and they were outnumbered, no matter how big or small the caravan was, as long as they encountered them, they were all in danger, and gradually the other side declined, and no caravan passed by, and the people nearby fled and hid. If it is not eliminated for a day, there will be endless calamities. ”

"What the prime minister said is extremely true, if we can clear the bandits in the east and restore the smooth trade routes, I dare not say anything else, this can at least bring one percent of the tax revenue to our Fenglan country, and the pressure on us in the face of the empire's tax task will be reduced a lot!" Li Lu also added that she is now the deputy in charge of the Financial Secretary, and her loyalty is remarkable.

"Indeed, what about the other one?" Su Junbao asked again.

"The other one is interesting, they are not as numerous as Li Baotian, it is rumored that there are only more than 100 people, but all of them are masters, and they do not occupy the mountain as kings, but they come and go without a trace, no one knows where their nest is, and no one can grasp their whereabouts, the leader of the bandits is a woman named Ramana, this person is extremely bold, there is no object she dare not rob, the minister thinks that the loss of disaster relief food this time is mostly related to them," Mogu said.

"No matter who they are, this king will not allow him to do anything wrong on the territory of my Fenglan country, let alone kill our people, and immediately send troops to me to recruit and suppress them."

Yan Guiyi said, looking out the window into the distance, there were still people who dared to act recklessly in his territory, as a king, he couldn't bear it.

"Of course, but Your Majesty, it's a little too easy to handle now!" Mogu said with a sad expression.

"Oh! What's the problem? Yan Guiyi asked.

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of spring, Zichuan has stirred up trouble on the border again, and now we are hoarding heavy troops in Shanlan Pass, confronting them, there are not many people who can be dispatched, now is probably not the best time to clear them, even if Your Majesty wants to clear them, I am afraid that we will have to wait for the situation on the border to stabilize, and then the minister is willing to lead troops to exterminate them in person." Mogu said.

When Yan Guiyi heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.

"Now is not the best time, but if they continue to run rampant like this, the people will not be able to produce peacefully, and many people will starve to death and freeze to death in winter." Yan Guiyi said.

"Your Majesty said yes!" Mogu bowed his head.

"How many more people are available now?" Su Junbao asked on the side.

"The general has checked, and a maximum of 20,000 Dongfu soldiers can be dispatched, and it is no problem to deal with ordinary bandits, but if you want to clear the bandits in the whole territory, this is far from enough!" Meng Tiande replied on the side.

"Twenty thousand...... Not enough! Su Junbao weighed it in his heart and agreed.

"Big ...... Isn't there anything the national teacher can do? Yan Guiyi raised his head and asked.

"It's not for nothing! But before we can officially suppress the bandits, we have to do one thing first! Su Junbao said.

"What's the matter?"

"As we all know, the reason why bandits have always been difficult to clear out is not because of how strong their combat effectiveness is, but because their whereabouts are uncertain, and they will immediately flee as soon as there is a disturbance, which has caused a lot of trouble to the sweeping task, so before we suppress the bandits, we must first speed up the establishment of a powerful intelligence organization, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the enemy, invincible in a hundred battles, as long as we can fully grasp their whereabouts, even if there are only 20,000 horses, it is enough to sweep the whole territory, and return a stable development environment to the Fenglan country!" Su Junbao said.

The establishment of a powerful intelligence organization has always been what he advocated Yan Guiyi to do, and now is the time, a powerful intelligence organization with 2,000 secret agents can sometimes bring a huge effect, even far greater than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

"Then do it, Prime Minister Mo, this matter will be left to you, select people from the army and various places, train them, and form our intelligence organization, within a month, this king will see its results!" Yan Guiyi said.

"Command!" Mogu bowed his head.

"Since the national teacher is here, why don't you have dinner in the palace today and leave!" Turning around, Yan Guiyi said to Su Junbao again.

Su Junbao nodded, looking at the boy in front of him, he already had the demeanor of a king, but he was still just a child.
