Seeing off Shi Nai, Tie Zhu walked in again.

"Dashuai, Guqi is here again, do you want to see him?"

Jia Cong smiled: "I'm here, naturally I want to see him, I want to see, what does he have to say?"

For Amin, he rebelled and sent people to attack and ambush him.

Jia Cong didn't pay much attention to it.

If it were yourself, maybe you would do the same.

"Yes, the subordinates will let him in."

Tie Zhu agreed, turned and walked out of the hall.

A moment later, he walked in with Guqi again.

As soon as Gu Qi came in, he knelt down directly for Jia Cong.

"The villain sees the prince."

Jia Cong looked at him with a smile: "Brother Guqi, we are old friends, this king has always believed in you very much, I didn't expect you to take advantage of this king's trust to send us false information, almost made us suffer a big loss, you do this, it's too uninteresting."

When Gu Qi heard this, he felt extremely embarrassed.

He has been with Jia Cong and others for six or seven years.

The people on Jia Cong's side are indeed very good to him, just like his own people.

But no matter what, he is a barbarian, a man of Amin, and he must follow Amin's orders.

He was very entangled at that time, and he didn't want to hurt Jia Cong and them, but he was helpless to disobey his fate.

"The prince forgives the sin, and the little one is also acting according to orders, and there are many helpless ones, please forgive the prince."

Jia Cong waved his hand: "Okay, everyone is their own master, they all have their own helplessness, this king doesn't blame you, if you become a prisoner in the future, you can report the name of this king, this king can keep you safe, and it will not be in vain for us to get acquainted."

"Thank you, Lord Wang. The prince has a big heart, which makes the little ones admire it very much."

Gu Qi stood up and was somewhat moved by Jia Cong's attitude.

Even so, his mission here still has to be accomplished.

"Lord Wang, last time, our Great Khan didn't know about it, the Great Khan agreed to the conditions of the prince, and had already decided to order the withdrawal of troops, but after the Great Khan led the troops away, some of the generals behind were not convinced, took the initiative and made a sneak attack, which was not the original intention of our Great Khan.

Later, when the Great Khan found out, he was also furious and severely punished those generals. This time, I sent a small one to see the prince, because I wanted to clarify the misunderstanding with the prince, hoping not to affect the friendship between the two parties. This is our Great Khan, a gift to the prince, and please accept it with a smile."

Gu Qi said as he unwrapped the package on his back and presented it with both hands.

Tie Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to take it and sent it to Jia Cong.

Jia Cong took the package and did not open it immediately, but looked at Gu Qi.

"You Great Khan are smart people, and this king is not a fool, since your Great Khan said that he didn't know, then treat it as ignorance, and this king doesn't plan to care, just expose this matter like this, I hope that in the future, there will be no more similar things."

When Gu Qi heard this, he was embarrassed again.

Seeing that Jia Cong didn't plan to care, Gu Qi was happy again.

I didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly, this prince is really an open-minded person.

"Don't worry, the Great Khan doesn't want to have a bad relationship with the Great Khan, there will be no more similar things, and the little ones will also convey the words of the Lord to our Great Khan."

Jia Cong nodded: "Go back and tell you the Great Khan, Liaodong will be the king's territory in the future, if he wants to expand his power, he can consider expanding to the east, the territory of Goryeo is not small, and there is a Wa Kingdom in the east of Goryeo, which is a good choice."

Gu Qi bowed and saluted: "Thank you for mentioning it, the little one will definitely convey the words of the prince to us Great Khan."

After chatting a few more words, he asked Guqi some things about the barbarians, and then asked Tiezhu to send him away.

Jia Cong carried the package and returned to the inner house.

Qingwen, Nianci, Hongluan, Chunxiaqiudong and others all sat in the back hall and talked.

I saw Jia Cong holding one

When the package came back, he stepped forward to pick it up.

"Dashuai, didn't you go to see the Marquis of the Shi family? Why did he also give you a gift, and he wanted to arrange for their heirs to come to Liaodong?"

Jia Cong smiled: "The second uncle of the Shi family is indeed here to leave, and I want his nephews to come over, I promised to let them come over and try it, if it is okay, it will stay, and if it doesn't work, it will rush back, this is also to see the face of the old lady and Xiangyun."

However, this package was not sent by the second uncle of the Shi family. It was Amin who asked Guqi to send it over, saying that the last sneak attack, Amin didn't know about it, it was an unauthorized act of his subordinates, and this time he asked Guqi to come over, that's what he said."

Qingwen said with a look of disdain, "Amin, this is treating us all as fools, Dashuai, you won't believe his nonsense, right?"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes: "You girl, don't you also take Ben Shuai for a fool?"

When several people heard this, they all covered their mouths and chuckled.

Hongluan said with a smile: "Our first goal has been achieved, we will not fight with the barbarians again for the time being, Amin has suffered a big loss this time, he is already a little afraid of us, and he is not willing to conflict with us again, this is a step for both sides."

Jia Cong nodded: "Hongluan is right, we still need to keep the barbarians and deal with the court, the right should be to raise the self-respect, since Ah *** has bowed his head, why should we hold on to it?"

We also have some friendship with Amin, although we are in different positions now, and it is impossible to really trust each other, but it is still okay to use each other."

Chunlan said: "So, there is no war this year, so we can relax a little?"

"Well, not only is there no war this year, but next year, I am not ready to fight, Liaodong needs to develop and recover well after this war, and then train the army well.

There are more than 200,000 troops in the city to defend it, and it is very safe, and Amin does not have the courage to take the initiative to go to war, and when the officials from all over the country are selected, there will really be nothing to do.

Han Nianci said: "We have already discussed these things, so the marshal doesn't have to worry about it, we have basically been in Liaodong and know what to prepare."

"Hey, there are ginseng, deer antlers, and dongzhu in here, although there are not many, but they are all of the highest quality."

Qingwen opened the package and spread it out on the table.

I saw that there were two ginseng inside, which looked like a hundred-year-old ginseng, and six pairs of deer antler velvets, all of which were high-grade medicinal materials.

Then there are more than 200 East Pearls, all of which are dripping round, the size of a finger's belly, and the color is crystal clear, which is valuable at a glance.

I've seen a lot of these things, so I don't think it's so unusual.

His family trades with barbarians all year round, and there is no shortage of these things.

Now in his own home, he is the largest ginseng wholesaler in China, a fur wholesaler, and Dongzhu, deer antler velvet, and tiger bone are also the most important products.

Others simply can't compare to their own homes.

He almost monopolized it, and at least eighty percent of the output on the grassland went to his own hands.

The object of his trade with the barbarians is Amin, which is equivalent to trading with the entire barbarians, which is not only large in quantity, but also better in quality than others.

Jia Cong glanced at it and said, "Ginseng and deer antlers, Nianci put them away, these Dongzhu, a few of you can divide them, whether it is a bracelet or a necklace, it is as you like."

"Thank you, Shuai, then you're welcome."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, although several people had Dongzhu's jewelry.

But as a girl, who thinks that they have too much jewelry, these beads are shiny one by one, and they make people like it when they look at it.

After dividing the beads, they chattered and chatted.

Jia Cong's expectation of sleeping together was not realized.

Only Qingwen and Dongmei stayed with him, and Chunlan and the three of them lived outside.

Han Nianci and Hongluan will go to their respective rooms to rest.

The three of them lay in each other's arms, sleepless all night······

······

In the blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Jia Cong finally selected more than thirty people who could do things.

Prepare to send them to the towns below to take care of the management.

It's just that at this time, the first batch of cotton clothes and a batch of grain and grass transported by the imperial court happened to be delivered.

He was accompanied by more than a dozen other officials in addition to the escort officials of the Ministry of War.

Jia Cong summoned them into the hall and met with them.

"I'll see the prince."

Looking at the people below, Jia Cong was somewhat puzzled.

"You don't need to be polite, you can't use so many people to escort supplies, right? I wonder why you're here?"

Song Shunwen arched his hand and said: "Lord, Your Majesty is worried that there is no one available under the prince, so he assigned the lower officials and others to come over to help the prince and manage the government affairs of Liaodong.

After listening to this person, Jia Cong understood.

These officials were all sent by the imperial court to Liaodong as officials.

It can also be said that the emperor sent them to spy on him.

I don't have the right people on my hands, and I don't have anything to leave them in.

Although he also elected more than 30 people, these people are all newcomers, and they are definitely inferior to these existing officials.

As long as they do things seriously, don't block themselves, and don't make trouble for themselves.

Those selected by themselves can also take the opportunity to be placed by their side as deputies to help themselves supervise them.

Thinking so in his heart, his face remained silent.

"In the hands of this king, there is indeed no one available, I am worried about this matter, you are really timely, thank you Your Majesty for your busy schedule, you can still think of the affairs of the ministers, you have come to Liaodong to do things, this king welcomes you."

If you don't come, this king has found a few literate people, and is going to arrange for them to take care of things first, and since they have found them, it is not good to drive them away again, so let them be your deputies."

The officials looked at each other, looked at each other, and then nodded in agreement.

Jia Cong was able to agree so happily, and they were already very happy.

"The lower officials obey the order, and the prince is in charge of everything."

Jia Cong nodded: "There is one more thing, this king needs to explain in advance, no matter who you are, as long as you do things under this king, then you must obey the instructions of this king, I hope you can do things seriously, serve as an official for one term, and benefit one party."

If you dare to collude with the local tyrants, and wantonly oppress the people, and take bribes, or abuse power for personal gain, or cholera places, this king will recognize you, but the king's sword will not recognize you."

Some people can't help but feel a pang in their hearts, but they don't dare to refute it.

"Xiaguan, follow the teachings of the prince, and you must be down-to-earth and do things for the people."

Jia Cong is still very satisfied with the attitude of these people.

As for what they will do in the future, we will have to wait and see later.

He would not be naïve to think that if he scares a few words, these officials will be obedient.

"The first thing you did when you took office was to reassure people and stabilize the place. The second thing is to census the local population and count the number of fields. After this great war, there should have been a lot of ownerless land, which was taken into public ownership and distributed among newborn babies.

In addition, the call continues to encourage the common people to actively reclaim farmland, and the newly cultivated fields will be exempt from tax within five years, no matter how much they are cultivated, they will be owned by individuals, and after five years, only 30% of the rent will be collected.

This policy is suitable for everyone, even people in the customs can come to open up the wasteland and settle down. We are short of people in Liaodong, and if any of you can move more people, this king will also be a great achievement for you."

Jia Cong also has no choice, now the population of Liaodong is too small, so he can only find a way to attract some people.

Only when the population grows can we develop faster.

Jia Cong arranged the people he selected and let them take office.

Let them work for a year and see, and those who have some ability will stay

。

Those who don't have any achievements at all, just come to mess around, then let them go back and forth, and their own subordinates don't raise waste.

Jia Cong asked the generals of each battalion to come and distribute all the cotton clothes for the winter according to the number of people.

He also asked people to go to the Ministry of Industry and invited a few masters to help him design and plan the construction of the palace.

After a period of exploration, a chassis was selected in the north of the city to prepare for the construction of the palace.

The palace has strict customization, and the specifications of the palace are generally more than 600 meters from north to south, and 4 or 500 meters from east to west.

The palace building is of high grade and large scale, and is generally composed of three roads: middle, east and west. On the central axis, there are palace gates, main halls, apses, back buildings, etc.

These can be handed over to professional people, and Jia Cong naturally doesn't need to worry about it.

It is said that these are all supposed to be built by the imperial court.

When the time comes, report to the court and see what is said over there.

A few days later, the caravan of the Jia family came to Liaoyang City.

brought a large number of daily necessities to Jia Cong, as well as some winter clothes.

At the same time, he also brought a letter from home, which Lin Daiyu wrote to Jia Cong.

mainly greeted Jia Cong's safety, said some things at home, and asked some things about Jia Cong's side, asking him to take care of his body and not to get into danger easily.

Between the lines, there is a strong attachment and longing.

There are also words of concern and longing from Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun and others.

Jia Cong looked at it, and also missed these little wives in his heart.

I and Shi Xiangyun have only been married for a few months, and it's strange that I don't want to miss that.

It was less than two years since he married Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai, and within a few months of getting married, he led the troops to Shaanxi, which was a year.

Just a few days after he came back, there was a matter of King Zhongyi seizing the throne.

After a few months of commotion, it subsided, and then there was something behind, and there was not much time to really get along.

Jia Cong thought a little and took them over.
