Yang Zhi sighed and sat down, "Where are five hundred and six people dead? In fact, those steam engines were stolen by them. What can they do if they get rid of them? It can be made? When our Ming Dynasty just developed the thunder fire and crossbow machine, the people of Qi took away a lot of them at the first time, but in the end, could they make it? It was not until a few years later that they made a breakthrough in the process of iron and steel making, and they could barely create usable machines. Compared with the thunder fire, the crossbow machine is very complicated. His Majesty the Emperor said that this thing is the embodiment of a country's comprehensive strength, industrial strength and complete industrial chain. Without that link, it is impossible to make it."

Tian Kang understood Yang Zhi's idea that the soldier's death should be more meaningful. But he could not agree with this view.

"General, this matter cannot be seen from a military perspective only. Of course, they can only sigh when they get these steam engines and cannot imitate them, but they cannot do so in politics. If the people of Tongqi do whatever they want in our territory and even get such an important weapon of the country at will, it will be a huge psychological blow to the people of Qi. On the contrary, a shot of a stimulant agent will raise their domestic cohesion to a new level. This is extremely unfavorable to the policies that our Ming Dynasty is implementing. You also know that we are trying every means to destroy the economy of Qi and make their people disenchant from it."

"You make sense." Yang Zhi nodded, "I just sighed a few words. In fact, if the Qi people really got the machine away from Wuzhou, I would probably be the one who was most shameless. I am the highest military commander in the entire Chu area. Speaking of which, the Qi people were very lucky this time. As soon as we pulled the warships away, they took advantage of the opportunity."

"This is not luck, but their intelligence system still has considerable combat power." Tian Kang frowned deeply. "After doing this, I will devote more energy to attacking the spy detectives of Qi. Chu is the beginning of my operation, and I also need to ask the general to support it. Chu is not long after he returns to the new land, and there are many people who care about his hometown or hate my Ming Dynasty. When our Ming Dynasty annexed Qi, if there are vested interests, there will naturally be those who have the interests to be harmed, and these people are important goals for the Qi people to instigate the rebellion. This Xu Fu is a typical example."

Yang Zhi smiled: "The left and right have raised the knife, so naturally we have to use this knife to the fullest. This opportunity is really good."

"I'm going to Wuzhou." Tian Kangdao.

"It's good that you're leaving. Gu Song is very disliked now." Yang Zhi smiled and said, "He told me that he would put a bulletin chapter to impeach you and me. He also told me that people's hearts are evil, and that such temptation and temptation can be forbidden. The government should do everything possible to guide people to be good, rather than triggering the evil deep in people's hearts like us. He also said that at least half of the people arrested were caused by you and me."

"He didn't tell me this. Didn't he smile when he saw me two days ago?" Tian Kang widened his eyes.

"That's because he thinks you are the culprit and I am the accomplice, so he disdained to tell you this." Yang Zhi laughed: "The more these scholars hate you in their hearts, the more they smile."

"Okay, you said it so that my vest was sweating." Tian Kang laughed: "But that's all, he can just bounce it, but I can't do anything to it."

Yang Zhi spread his hands, "You go to Wuzhou, I still have to continue to clean up the mess here. There are too many arrests. When exiled, we must use the army to escort them."

In Wuzhou, Murong Yu slept for a whole day and a night before he got up.

A very sumptuous banquet was already waiting for him. Of course, they were the only ones sitting on the table.

After Xie Cheng had a brief drink, Murong Yuan had already eaten two big bowls of rice.

"Murong, I'm going to deal with that Xu Fu, why don't you let him go? This time I've cheated him badly. This matter also involves the Queen. Don't you know how angry the Queen is now?" Xie Cheng said angrily.

Putting down the chopsticks, Murong Yuan smiled. Xie Feiyan, who was standing, immediately scooped a bowl of soup for him and stuffed it into his hand. After taking a sip of the soup, Murong Yuan picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth. At this time, he looked like a very cultured and humble gentleman. There was also a terrifying aura of slashing people with a knife on the battlefield.

"Father-in-law, I won't let you touch that Xu Fu. I guess the court will write a big article about Xu Fu and those captured Qi soldiers. When this matter is almost done, that Xu Fu is useless. How can my father-in-law deal with him?"

"What big article will be?" Xie Cheng asked in confusion.

Murong Yuan smiled and said, "To be honest, the court's actions in Jiangnan this time were intentional. In fact, in my opinion, we can use some more relaxed means to slowly achieve the goal. If we do this, it will take longer and the effect will slowly appear. Of course, it will not cause such a fierce reaction. The reason why it is so chaotic is actually as expected by the court. Otherwise, there would not be Guoan Tian Kang and General Yang personally stayed in Huzhou."

"What do you say?"

"I'm afraid that his Majesty thought that it was too long and he couldn't wait, so he used strong medicine. It seemed to be seriously injured, but as long as it is cured, it will be reborn. If the people of Qi don't come to interfere with this move, we will need more means to soothe the hearts of the people here. But now, aren't the ready-made excuses used?" Murong Yuan said.

"Corresponsible for the people of Qi?"

"It's not entirely a scapegoat!" Murong Yuan laughed: "The people of Qi did intervene, but they thought that this civil unrest was caused by our Ming Dynasty's miscalculation and loss of control, so they wanted to add fuel to the fire, but they didn't know that this was a change completely under our control. Moreover, the hundreds of prisoners they fell into our hands, as well as the bodies of the Qi army who died in battle, were all ironclad evidence. I thought that Commander Tian Kangtian would never miss this great opportunity to promote in Jiangnan that it was the people of Qi who planned all this."

"It is indeed possible." Xie Cheng said sternly: "In this way, the resentment of the locals in Jiangnan can be resolved to the greatest extent. You must know that even the Jiangnan people who support the Ming Dynasty most hardworkingly have a lot of complaints about the court's actions in Jiangnan this time."

He picked up the soup bowl and took another sip. Murong Yuan continued, "Father-in-law, do you know why I gave the armed police officers who died in battle so high when I was at Suojiang Pass? Because if this was right, these people would be set up as examples by the court and heroes in the next place. There is also the fat man who drove a boat to hit Jiang Tong. They all have a common characteristic, they are all natives in Jiangnan. They fought bravely for the Ming Dynasty to die without regrets, and for the Ming Dynasty to ignore the huge losses of their own property,

What a good publicity model! Look at it, the fat man who looks a little cowardly but has no lack of adventurous spirit in his bones. His business career will surely be smooth and he will rise all the way. The court needs such a model of Jiangnan, especially a model of living. As long as he lives for one day, his deeds will be promoted for one day. Didn’t my father-in-law want to find a businessman to join the silk business? I think this person is an excellent choice. While he is not popular yet, my father-in-law can go and burn this cold stove."

Xie Cheng blinked his eyes and looked at Murong Yuan in front of him. This moment made him a little unfamiliar with his son-in-law. His young face seemed to have a shy smile, but what he said and what he did was extremely sophisticated.

"If you don't do silk business, at least you won't do it in Wuzhou under your rule." Xie Cheng thought for a while and said.

"Why?" Murong Yuan asked.

"You have a great future." Xie Cheng pondered for a while and said, "If I do business under your rule, it will have an impact on your reputation. My Xie family is not short of these profits. You are a big tree, but it is not strong enough now. After you grow into a towering tree in the future, it will be more helpful to me Xie family. In the future, Xie family will rely on you more often, and I can't look in front of you."

Murong Yuan looked at his father-in-law in surprise. In the past, his father-in-law was in front of him, even if he was the youngest county magistrate of the Ming Dynasty, he looked at him condescendingly. This was the first time that his father-in-law placed himself in a subordinate position.

After thinking about it, he said, "My father-in-law is overthinking. In fact, you can think about this matter from another perspective. Silk spinning industry will be the most important place for the Ming Dynasty in the future. It is unwise for Xie to give up on him. I am very grateful to my father-in-law for my consideration, but my father-in-law is not undesirable to Jiangnan, and to use it for Jiangnan to manage the profits of silk in Wuzhou to help Wuzhou's economic and livelihood development, and help me with my help?"

Xie Cheng's eyes lit up, "Aren't you afraid of others gossiping?"

"What's there to be afraid of? My father-in-law will run here in the future and give all the income to the local area. If anyone tells this gossip, I will dare to spit in front of him." Murong Yuan smiled and said, "What's more, the son-in-law doesn't want to stay in Wuzhou for too long."

Xie Cheng was shocked, "What are your plans?"

"The son-in-law wants to go to Kunling County." Murong Yuan said: "In the future, the Ming Dynasty will attack Qi, and Kunling County will be the most important logistics fortress for a large army. The county magistrates there will inevitably need a county magistrate who will be willing to be civil and military. I think I can fight for it. If I can manage Wuzhou in a short time, I will only reflect my ability to govern the local area. In addition, this time when fighting with the Qi army, I also showed the courage to fight on the battlefield. Father-in-law, in the Ming Dynasty, there are not too many officials of Yunwen and military."

"Why do you have to fight for this position?" Xie Cheng was a little puzzled.

"In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to go further in the future, you must have military achievements. You need to be both civil and military, because I think your Majesty's vision is not just on this continent. Father-in-law, I know something, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Murong Yuan said: "My origin is problematic. As a barbarian, if you want to go further, I must do better than others, and be much better."
