Chapter 33: Wu Quang and his entourage infiltrated South Vietnam
A month after Fusu's wedding, Xunbing sent a letter from Shusun Tong reporting the situation in Hexi to the Qilin Hall of Xianyang Palace;
With the joint efforts of 200,000 Mengtian troops and 200,000 people, 3 million acres of fertile land have been reclaimed in Hexi. Moreover, 1.1 million acres of fertile land have already been planted before the end of spring ploughing. More than 10,000 households in Hexi have already moved into new houses, and the rest of the houses are also being built at an accelerated pace, so that 200,000 people can all move into new houses before the onset of winter. Shusun Tong put aside the construction of the county government of the four counties of Hexi and the capital protection mansion for the time being, and planned to make plans after the people moved into their new homes.
After reading Shusun Tong's report letter, Fusu showed a relieved expression.
"Go and give them this letter," Fusu said, handing the letter to the chamberlain.
The ministers took the letter written by Shusun Tong to Fusu from the hands of the inner servants and read it carefully. Half a pillar of incense, the ministers have already read the letter from Shusun Tong.
"Doctor Yushi, Uncle Sun Tong's salary this year has been doubled, and it will be filed and executed." Fusu watched as the ministers ordered the Imperial Doctor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I wonder how you feel after reading Shusun Tong's letter?" Fusu asked, looking at the ministers.
I saw that the next group of ministers chose to remain silent.
"Since you don't have any feelings, then let me tell you what I think!" Fusu glanced at the ministers and said.
"200,000 people came to my Daqin with their families, knowing that the trip to Hexi might be a bamboo basket to draw water, but they still resolutely rushed to the land of Hexi. Why, because they believe in my Great Qin's promise. Look at what Uncle Sun Tong did, first make a living for the people, and then plan to build a Hexi Metropolitan Protectorate. This uncle and grandson are a model for you. Having such a courtier is the glory of my Great Qin. I intend to print 20,000 copies of my uncle's letter and send it to all the counties and counties of Daqin. In addition to having one copy for each of the officials, they had to post a few more copies at the gates of the city and at the market. Let the people of all over the world see that there are such good officials in my Daqin. ”
The reason why Fusu wanted to set Shusun Tong as an example was to prepare for the reform of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system. After Shusun Tong has accumulated enough prestige in Hexi, Fusu will transfer Shusun Tong back to Xianyang. Let him promote the reform of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system. The higher the prestige of Shusun Tong among the people, the less those inherent interest groups dare not take action against Shu Sun Tong easily, because they will never dare to easily arouse the anger of the people.
Since that day, Fusu found out from Meng Yi's mouth the attitude of the ministers to the reform of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system, and decided to cultivate a group of backbones who dare to take responsibility and have prestige among the people. If none of the 100 officials in the DPRK and China dared to promote the reform of the system of three princes and nine secretaries, it would not have been possible to do so with the enthusiasm of Fusu alone. And Shusun Tong's letter gave Fusu hope, so that Fusu could have the confidence to lay out and reform the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries system in advance.
After a period of time, the work of the four counties of Hexi was steadily advancing, and the reputation of Shusun Tong became more and more famous among the people of Daqin.
……
Let's talk about Wu Guang and Zhang Liang, since they left Xianyang that day. He exchanged the five million money given by Fusu for gold, and took dozens of followers to the south along the Qin Straight Road, and after arriving in Ba County, he bought a few boatloads of grain and pretended to be a merchant selling grain. Then it went down the river and turned into the Hunan River into the South Vietnamese region.
On this day, Zhang Liang and his entourage pulled more than a dozen truckloads of grain from Hengpu Pass into the boundary of Nanhai County.
"Mr. Zifang, we have already infiltrated this South Vietnam, what should we do next?" Wu Guang asked.
"You go and ask somebody, and see where there are bandits. Wherever there are bandits, we will go. Zhang Liang said to Wu Guang.
"Are you crazy, we are pulling so much food and so much money, if we meet mountain bandits, we will not be robbed." Wu Guang said angrily.
"Let me ask you, why did you come to South Vietnam?"
"Naturally, they are preparing to start an incident in South Vietnam and turn South Vietnam upside down." Wu Guang looked at Zhang Liang and replied angrily.
"Now that we have infiltrated South Vietnam, what do you think of us pulling people to make trouble under Panyu City?" Zhang Liang asked with a smile.
"Mr. Zifang, don't talk nonsense anymore, okay, Panyu is Zhao Tuo's place of governance, and pulling people's heads there is looking for death, okay?" Wu Guang retorted angrily.
"You know that, too?"
After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Wu Guang, and Wu Guang should be able to understand the meaning of his words.
They had just infiltrated South Vietnam and were not yet familiar with the situation in South Vietnam. To pull people to rebel, it is natural to choose a place that can avoid the encirclement and suppression of Zhao Tuo's army. And isn't the place where the bandits are entrenched the best choice? The reason why there are bandits entrenched shows that that place can indeed escape Zhao Tuo's encirclement and suppression. Wouldn't it be foolish to have a ready-made guide and not to do so.
After a while, Wu Guang understood what Zhang Liang meant. I got up and went to inquire about the surrounding bandits.
As soon as Wu Guang left, Zhang Liang saw a group of soldiers patrolling Hengpu Pass walking towards his grain convoy.
