Chapter 172: Plan Ahead
"According to the statistics of the Ministry of Staff..."Guan Zhongchong nodded at Lu Bing, and continued, "As of April, our side has discovered a total of 40 spies from all sides, that is to say, in the last month alone, at least 20 spies have either smuggled or mixed into the slaves and entered our Huaxia territory...... Of these, thirty-six have been arrested, and eight are under observation..."
When Guan Zhong said this, he looked at Li Kang, and after seeing that he didn't show any expression, he explained: "The reason why these eight people are kept is because we can properly reveal some unimportant or fake information and let them transmit it back, so as to find out the people behind the scenes hidden in the shadows." And then according to the attitude of the people behind the scenes, make targeted deployments... In addition, the news that we are willing to let others know can also play a role in confusing the public to a certain extent!"
"Hmm..." Li Kang nodded, it would not be a day or two for the countries of Hedong to want to get a glimpse of the true face of Huaxia - the forest natives have not yet realized that they know themselves and their opponents - since the sudden emergence of Suwu Town, there have been spies from various countries who have infiltrated Huaxia through various ways.
Just like the report that Li Kang received from Suwu Town and Wenlong Fort not long ago, a group of people with bad intentions tried to go down the river on a fishing boat to the hinterland of China, but they were decisively destroyed by Wenlong Fort.
According to the rescued captives, they were several powerful people from the Longwei Kingdom and the Lin Kingdom who acted together, the main purpose was to find out the secrets of Huaxia Haiyan, and there were two congenital masters on the ship at that time, and they could only be sure that one of them was hit by the cannon head-on, and there was no corpse, and the other did not know whether to die or flee back, or sneak into Huaxia - Xu Wanyou and Feng Wenhan's Qin compromise did not explain.
In the face of so many spies from all walks of life, even if the Generalissimo Shogunate is at full power, it will not be able to avoid slipping through the net!
So Guan Zhong said that he had found forty-four, and there might be many more that were not found!
However, Li Kang did not express his opinion at this time, but signaled Guan Zhong to continue.
"According to the statistics of the Department of Civil Affairs and the Department of Ceremonies, in April, a total of 15 marriages were registered in China, and 154 concubines were registered, of which those who married foreign clans as wives were together. ”
“... A total of six elderly people died, all aged 52..."
According to the statistics of the Police Department, there were 67 police dispatches in April, most of which were trivial matters, but two of them were more serious, one was a slave restless and occurred in Shuqi Town, and the other was a robbery case in Fuxi Town. Both cases have now been solved. ”
At this point, the report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Guan Zhong's own post has ended.
Li Kang said with a smile: "After Guan Qing goes down, he must work more on the fertility rate, this is not only about the growth of the population in the future - Li Kang always has a feeling that the system cannot summon civilians and troops without restrictions, there must be an invisible red line waiting for him - it is also related to our assimilation of foreign races, the responsibility is heavy, let them take more responsibility, take more concubines, be happy themselves, and benefit the whole society, where to find this kind of good thing?"
Li Kang Bei'er Shuang, who said this, finally has the confidence to point fingers at the issue of reproduction!
"What the king said is very true, the ministers bow down and ask the king to be the first of all the people!" Guan Zhong said seriously.
"The ministers are subdued, please be the king, and all the people will be the first!"
As soon as everyone heard that the chief minister had blatantly stuffed a woman into the king, how could they make him as beautiful as before?
Li Kang was stunned, and then readily agreed, they are all loyal ministers!
"Your Majesty, taking a concubine is not in a hurry, there is a more important matter!" At this time, Guan Zhong continued.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Li Kang said curiously, but he had some vague speculation in his heart.
"Your Majesty risked death to speak, only please choose a Han girl and set up the main palace as soon as possible!"
Li Kang sighed secretly, knowing that this would be the case, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and he wouldn't feel that his private affairs had been interfered with like some of his predecessors, so he was "furious".
Originally, this matter could not be rushed, but Palm Laneige was pregnant, so it was impossible not to rush.
If Palm Laneige gave birth to a son, it is Li Kang's eldest son, and his status is very embarrassing, but Palm Laneige is of a different race, and this eldest son has almost no possibility of inheriting Li Kang's foundation, but this is almost, not absolutely, for example, Li Kang does not have a son-in-law, or the son-in-law was born too late, and after Li Kang has something unbearable, the son-in-law has not grown up, and the eldest son is in the prime of life, so there is no need to guess, nine out of nine will cause bloodshed, fratricidal or secondary, national turmoil is the most fatal.
So in order for all this not to happen, it is necessary to let Li Kangsheng have a strong pure-blooded eldest son to come out, in this way, hello, hello, everyone, for the possible eldest son in the belly of Palm Lanzhi, it is also a good thing to recognize the reality early.
Coincidentally, none of the eleven women in Li Kang's current harem are authentic Chinese Han Chinese, and it is obvious that none of them can live in the main palace.
The draft came into being!
In the time that Li Kang was thinking, the ministers once again worked together to persuade Li Kang to establish the main palace as soon as possible.
"That's it!" Li Kang sighed lightly, anyway, he has never believed in love, it doesn't matter who the real wife is, as long as he looks worthy of the people and the party, he can accept it.
"As the saying goes, take a concubine and marry a wife. Well, the main palace is the mother of all people, don't be careless!" Li Kang said solemnly, "Guan Qing, Xu Qing (Xu Guangqi), plus Yu Wenqing, you two go back and inform him, with Guan Qing as the wind collector, Xu Qing and Yu Wenqing as the deputy envoy for the wind collection, and choose the unmarried Han family daughter who is virtuous and virtuous, frugal and gentle in the whole territory, and be a good match for me!"
The reason why these three people were chosen, Li Kang considered from their respective eras, different eras, aesthetic must be different, in order to prevent the aesthetic peculiarity of the wind collectors, Li Kang painstakingly selected the three eras spanning most of the Chinese history.
Guan Zhong was a native of the pre-Qin Spring and Autumn Period, when the folk customs were simple and open, some of the girls even wore short turf skirts, exposed their arms and thighs, and field battles and elopements were all matters of minutes, which was not unusual at all - such as Confucius and his old man - more passionate than Li Kang's era;
Yu Wenkai is a figure in the Sui and Tang dynasties, who likes round and jade, rich x fat, and the folk customs are surging and surging, and the openness is slightly more conservative than that of the Spring and Autumn Period;
Xu Guangqi was born at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was the period of the great revival of etiquette, men have unique tastes, ancient and modern, like poor breasts and small feet, weak posture willow to support the wind, Qianqian lotus step, one step three shakes, I can't wait to take two steps to gasp, the aesthetics are incompatible with Li Kangge.
But Li Kang still added Xu Guangqi to it, absorbing the strengths of other families, not to mention that Xu Guangqi is still a Christian, maybe people have any unique opinions?
"No! I will be ordered!" Guan Zhong and Xu Guangqi hurriedly stood up and responded.
"Well, remember, don't stir up the crowd, just observe secretly. Li Kang ordered again, don't say much, he is not at ease, if these three goods are carried out with great fanfare, and it really becomes a draft, it will be bad, not to mention the waste of time and energy, and the most important thing is the waste of labor, how much less tax will be charged?
"No!"[.]
