Why should Mo Jiao emphasize that these are confidential and can't be said?

Because Wu Zhou ruled the country by civil servants, most civil servants had the same mind as Zheng Shi. They thought that as long as there were enough troops, they could keep one side safe, and they didn't value military generals. In fact, not all of the generals have extraordinary Kung Fu like Zhou Xiangong. After all, some generals are good at military strategy rather than personal combat effectiveness.

If we let those civil servants know that personal martial arts play a very important role in the siege and city defense war, I'm afraid it will lead to their mental problems, especially when there are a large number of martial arts experts on the enemy side during the battle, it is easy to cause the civil servants who defend the city to lose confidence.

Therefore, these situations clearly exist, but the imperial court is unwilling to publish them, and the existence of six doors has become meaningful.

For some border cities or cities that are not in the border but are important traffic routes and battlegrounds for strategists, a considerable number of experts will be arranged for the six gates. Once a martial arts expert forcibly seizes the gate, the six gates experts must attack to eliminate this danger.

"And such a thing?"

Zheng Shi raised his trembling right hand and stroked his gray beard under his jaw. Although his voice could remain stable, the shaking beard had clearly revealed his mood.

"Well, I want to hear what you mean." finally Zheng Shi succumbed. In reality, although he is a scholar, he is first and foremost a court official. Even if he can ignore the black hat on his head, he can't despise his reputation and integrity. This is what a scholar attaches most importance to.

"Drainage, mark out Zhuangzi like Wangjiazhuang. I believe that after knowing the inside story, Lord Zheng should be able to count how many situations around Taiyuan house are similar to Wangjiazhuang? All those Zhuangzi can be regarded as having been bought by mysterious organizations."

Here, Li Luoyang conceals that he and Mo Jiao already know that the mysterious organization behind the so-called Wangjiazhuang is actually inseparable from the merchant Federation. This is not to say that he wants to pit Zheng Shi. In fact, the major procedure of this matter has exceeded Zheng Shi's officials. Only people at the central level are qualified to understand and find solutions.

"It's not difficult. I'll do it now."

Although Zheng Shi is very tough, he is still very resolute in the major issues of right and wrong and his essential work, and his character will also affect the people working around him. Therefore, the screening list that Li Luoyang and Mo Jiao hope has been taken out before dinner. According to the tax payment and difference adjustment in recent years, Under the rule of Taiyuan government, there were even seventeen or eight Zhuangzi similar to Wangjiazhuang.

The most obvious thing about these Zhuangzi is that from a hundred years ago to a few years ago, they were inexplicably naturalized by one or two or three "foreign households". Then these foreign households quickly made efforts to annex a large number of farmland, especially the good farmland with high grain output, and plant grain by employing long-term workers, but their tax payment did not improve, On the contrary, less and less grain is handed over, and more and more silver money is directly handed over.

In the past, we didn't care because tax officials prefer to collect money. After all, it's troublesome to corrupt food. We have to find a way to deal with it, either sell it in private or keep it by ourselves. It's all hard and thankless.

"Why didn't I find these things before?"

Seeing the final statistical results, Zheng Shi couldn't help sweating beads on his forehead. Seriously speaking, these were all his mistakes in his work. If the court must investigate, he must not escape the investigation. It's a small matter to lose his black hat. Exile is not impossible. The key is to see whether he can handle the next things.

If the Taiyuan government can be saved and more than 100000 refugees outside the city can transition safely, it is that Zheng Shi has made up for his mistakes. If he can catch several senior members of Manichaeism and even expose the conspiracy of the mysterious organization in this process, Zheng Shi must have contributed.

Zheng Shi still dares to think about the former, but for the latter, Zheng Shi doesn't have much hope for the ambition and ability shown by the current organization.

The change of mentality made Zheng Shi more and more rely on Mo Jiao and Li Luoyang. Once he changed his uncooperative attitude in the past, his eyes became enthusiastic and even made people prepare dinner.

Li Luoyang and Mo Jiao didn't refuse to eat. However, according to the actual situation of Taiyuan government, you don't have to think about delicacies, even wine and water. There are only two bowls of meat on the table. I don't know where to get the old bacon. In fact, Li Luoyang has always been disgusted with this kind of smoked product, so he didn't eat very happy, But Zheng Shi threw away his arm and ate it. When he found that there was still half a bowl of bacon left in the last bowl, and Li Luoyang and Mo Jiao said they didn't eat it, he asked the following to wrap it up for him and said he wanted to take it home.

Even Li Luoyang was a little surprised by such officials. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, this kind of move is a bit humiliating. A dignified official even looked up to the leftover bacon? But considering the current situation in Taiyuan, I'm afraid I don't know where these two bowls of bacon came from.

After dinner, the three did not rest and continued to deliberate on the plan. Wang GUI also participated. After all, the refugees outside will settle down after dark.

"More than 20 people died today. I'm worried that if this continues, if no one converges outside the city, I'm afraid it will cause an epidemic."

The corpses are placed in the open air. After decay, it will indeed cause an epidemic. Everyone present knows it, but Li Luoyang was surprised. "Do the refugees themselves not know how to deal with the corpses?"

"They will only pick up the bodies and take everything, but they won't care about the bodies. They don't have the strength."

"Hiss ~"

Sure enough, when the stomach is not full, it is useless to say anything. The law of morality and public morality is blank in front of the shriveled belly. People who are hungry and crazy, let alone pick up the clothes of the corpse. According to Wang GUI, it is estimated that the dead will be dragged to eat in a few days. If it reaches that level, the epidemic situation around Taiyuan government is basically a certainty.

"No! That kind of thing must not happen under my rule! You two, just tell me what to choose or not."

"I have told General Wang to release the news that these chuangs are hiding a large amount of food, and to clearly tell the refugees that these chuangs do not have armed guards. A Chuang can be broken as long as it goes to 300 or 500 people, and the food is enough for 3000 or 5000 people!"

Li Luoyang flashed a fierce look on his face. He knew the consequences he might bring, but now he had no choice!
