Chapter 1065: Leak out and punish your nine tribes. Thousands of miles away, Fang Jie didn¡¯t know what Nalan Dingdong did in Eastern Xinjiang, and how unexpected he was. He just chose the right person and went to the right place, and then gave him enough freedom and rights. This kind of laissez-faire use is actually a double-edged sword. Choosing the right person will get twice the result with half the effort. If you choose the wrong person, the consequences will probably be more serious. During these days, Fang Jie has been busy reorganizing his troops. Even if Fang Jie is impatient, there is nothing he can do about the chaos in Eastern Xinjiang. If he does not eliminate the threat from the Meng Yuan people, Fang Jie will not have the energy or spare capacity to send troops to Eastern Xinjiang now. Fang Jie basically left all political affairs to Wu Yiyi and Dugu Wenxiu to discuss and deal with. Unless there were major matters that were difficult to decide, there was no need to report anything else. In fact, this is still a laissez-faire use, and I'm afraid others would not dare to do this. When you first enter Chang'an City, if you are someone else's expert, you must keep an eye on everything and do everything yourself. "Except for food, everything is lacking in Chang'an City now." Dugu Wenxiu sighed: "There are two granaries in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Chang'an City. Although Gao Kaitai has forced him to dare not open the city gate for several years, the consumption of food has a huge impact on these four granaries. It's just a drop in the bucket. Even if we don't mobilize food and grass from other places, the food stored in Chang'an City is enough to support the army." "At the Ministry of War, there is basically no armor and equipment." Dugu Wenxiu said: "I asked about the transfer. At the height of the Sui Dynasty, the Ministry of Revenue had enough armor and equipment to equip an army of 500,000 people, but now they can't even get out 500 sets of leather armor, but they still have some feather arrows. There is not even one intact piece of Changshu. Emperor Tianyou took away a large number of equipment and armor during the first western expedition. During the second western expedition, most of them were civilian warriors. When they were armed, they almost emptied the inventory of the Ministry of War. " "Later, when Yang Jian led his troops on an expedition, he took some more away. Later, Chang'an City was trapped, and the empty Ministry of War warehouse could not be replenished." "It's not just that." Chen Xiaoru interjected from the side: " As far as I know, many officials stole and sold a lot of inventory items because they could not get their salaries when the city was trapped. However, most people did not dare to buy these items issued by the Sui Dynasty military. Even if someone bought them, they would not dare to buy them. Wearing it out blatantly. Therefore, those officials who stole the inventory must have a lot of inventory at home. If the lord orders it, I will take people to check it now, and they will eventually be able to find out some." Dugu Wenxiu's expression changed, but he didn't. say. He glanced at Chen Xiaoru, and there was something very unusual in his eyes. "Go and investigate." Fang Jie said: "But we must treat them differently. If it is really difficult for the family to survive, don't hold them accountable. If you just want to make a fortune, just deal with it according to the law. Dugu, please let someone go. If he let it slip, he would order a thorough inspection of the treasury. Anyone who had touched something would be sent back quietly. "Dugu Wenxiu quickly lowered his head and said, "I understand." "We have two camps of the Black Flag Army. The weapons and armor made by the workshop are still sufficient, but it is a long way to transport them, especially the workshop on Yunnan Road. It will take at least four or five months to transport them here. I can't wait for this expedition. We need to recruit civilian warriors, so we have to send people back to Zhuqueshan Camp to bring in all the inventory from the workshop. " "We are already recruiting civilian warriors. There are not many people signing up to join the army in Chang'an City these days" Wu Yiyi glanced at Fang Jie's face: "Everyone knows that this time we are going to have a decisive battle with the Meng Yuan people. People in the city are secretly spreading the news that the Meng Yuan people are like green-faced and fanged beasts. God Bless the Emperor back then Two expeditions and two defeats were not all due to the inability to defeat the Meng Yuan people There are many such discussions. Besides, the people in Chang'an City have always had a very strange character, that is" Wu Yiyi sorted it out. The wording seems hard to describe: "The people in Chang'an City regard themselves as superior to others. They all feel that they are the most noble people in the Sui Dynasty and live at the feet of the emperor. Naturally, they are closer to the emperor than people in other places. . So they all have a special kind of pride, but it would be difficult for these people who thought they were the most loyal to the Sui Dynasty to join the army to fight against the enemy. Back then, Emperor Tianyou recruited more than 100,000 troops in Gyeonggi Province. People join the army. There are less than a thousand people joining the army in Chang'an City" Fang Jie shook his head: "The people in Chang'an City have formed a habit. You are not as noble as me because I am a senior citizen of the country, but we have to fight. High-ranking civilians cannot go up, so low-level people will naturally have to die. Even if such people are recruited as soldiers, there are not many people in Gyeonggi Province, and the number of people recruited is limited" Fang Jie thought for a while and said: "The recruiters should wait a little in advance and urge the Zhuque Mountain Camp to send all the weapons and armor, and then go toWhen you raise an army, you can raise an army without delay. Recruit troops along Jiangbei Road, especially along the Yangtze River. The fishermen on the Yangtze River bank have good water quality, so they can be used for this. " "Here" Wu Daodao and others bowed their heads in response. "My lord, do you think too highly of Song Zihui? " Dugu Wenxiu was silent for a while and then said in a very slow voice: "Let him lead an army when he comes here. Although he has led soldiers, the thousands of brave people and tens of thousands of soldiers are incomparable. In the end, he is just A civil servant. " "You are also a civil servant. Fang Jie smiled and said: "If I give you 20,000 people to conquer the West, can you go?" " Dugu Wenxiu was stunned for a moment: "I can go, but I am really not sure of meritorious service. " "Stop talking about Song Zihui. " Fang Jie waved his hand: "Look back and draw up a list of vacancies for officials in various ministries and yamen of the imperial court. I will give you a standard. Thirty-seven Thirty percent will be selected from the local area. If you want to select the best, 70 percent will be from the black. The flag army has been selected. I will take a look at the list after you submit it. " "Here" Dugu Wenxiu quickly lowered his head. Fang Jie glanced at Wu Yiyi: "The Marquis will also select a group of people to come up from Huotongtianxiaxing. Nowadays, the shortage of people in the imperial court is severe. Some yamen are completely empty. empty. Especially in the Ministry of Accounts, there are many accounts to check. If the people in Huotong Tianxiaxing can be called upon, they can call in some, and then they can fill up official positions in various ministries and yamen. " "Here" Wu Yiyi also responded. When he stood up, he glanced at Dugu Wenxiu intentionally or unintentionally. The two people's eyes crossed, and Dugu quickly avoided it. Chen Xiaoru seemed to have something to say, but he didn't want to He stopped talking. It wasn't until Fang Jie returned to the Fengyu Tower in Changchun Garden that Chen Xiaoru caught up from behind: "My lord, I have to say something, but I'm just afraid that my lord will think that I am deliberately making things difficult for him, so I have endured it until now. " "If you fart, let it go." " Fang Jie cursed as he walked, and then when he went upstairs, he took two fruits from the plate on the coffee table in the living room, threw them back, and threw one to Chen Xiaoru. Chen Xiaoru reached out and took it, and his heart felt warm. After so many years, , the lord still treated him like this, he was naturally a little moved. Fang Jie gnawed a pear and went up to the third floor, then sat still in the recliner: "Talking to those courtiers for a while is more tiring than marching three hundred miles. some. Those individuals are very cunning, and they all appear to be loyal and modest on the surface. If anyone believes their superficial words, they will swallow them whole sooner or later. " Chen Xiaoru smiled: "Nothing can be hidden from my lord's eyes" "What's the matter? Fang Jie said: "If you don't say anything, get out." " Chen Xiaoru said quickly: "I just found out some things about Lord Dugu recently, but most of them are just rumors and have no practical value, so I have been undecided whether to report to you or not. He said that since there is no conclusive evidence, it is really inappropriate to report this based on rumors. It also seems that I am targeting Lord Dugu. If I don't say it, I'm afraid it will be true and it will be detrimental to the Lord. " "You are not guilty. " Fang Jie waved his hand. Chen Xiaoru bowed his head and said: "Thank you, Lord I heard that Lord Dugu is in charge of court affairs, especially since there are so many vacant official positions in various ministries and government offices, and many people are keeping an eye on them. Since a few days ago, Mr. Dugu has often seen guests at his home at night, and most of the people he meets come from aristocratic families in Chang'an City. " He raised his head and glanced at Fang Jie's face. He saw that Fang Jie was not unhappy at all, so he continued: "There is a list of people who come in and out of Lord Dugu's mansion. " He took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeves and held it in both hands and handed it to Fang Jie: "I also found out that soon after entering Chang'an City, Master Dugu sent someone back to Zhuque Mountain Camp to pick up her mother. They came here, but instead of living together, they were placed in the inn. It seemed a little inappropriate that he lived in the big house while his mother lived in the inn. " Fang Jie sat up from the recliner and patted his forehead: "I forgot that Dugu is now living in the old scholar Qin Anli's house. Because all the ministries have to do things, and the court room outside Taiji Hall is too small, Qin Anli's house is closest to Tai Chi Palace, so he lives there. I reported this, but I forgot Mu San! " Fang Jie called out, and the young eunuch Mu San trotted over from a short distance away. "Go and tell Dugu Wenxiu that the house will be given to him. Hurry and pick up the old lady from the inn. " "Hey, this is a great favor. " Mu San smiled and said, "Is it possible for me to ask Master Dugu for a reward? " "Can. ¡± Fang Jie said with a smile: "He dares to give it to you. What do you dare not take?" Mu San shook his head repeatedly: "Let's forget it I don't have the courage." Chen Xiaoru's face was a little ugly, although he It's not that he made up these things to frame Dugu Wenxiu, but he does dislike Dugu Wenxiu. Firstly, Dugu Wenxiu is too powerful now. He has said bad things about the Knight Riding School in front of Fang Jie more than once, and even tried to persuade Fang Jie to reduce the number of soldiers. The functions of the Riding School. Secondly, it was because he really felt that someone like Dugu, who was reused by Fang Jie, should not have selfish motives. "Chen Xiaoru, do you know why Dugu let his mother live in the inn?" Fang Jie asked. Chen Xiaoru shook his head: "I don't know" Fang explained: "Qin Anli's house does not belong to him. He lives there temporarily and performs his duties as an official of the imperial court. If he takes my mother in to live there, he will teach others how to live there. "Bang. That's a government office, not his private residence. Have you ever thought about it, is Dugu expecting someone to be guilty of being unfilial?" Chen Xiaoru's expression suddenly changed. Yes Dugu Wenxiu should be very happy to have people participate in his unfilial piety. The matter of placing my mother in the inn can be said to be unfilial to Dugu Wenxiu. On the other hand, doesn't it mean that Dugu Wenxiu can distinguish between public and private matters? "Go ahead." Fang Jie waved his hand: "Although you are very thoughtful, when it comes to thoroughness in doing things, Dugu is still a little better than you. With so many people coming in and out of his residence, isn't he afraid of others knowing? Everyone else is. You see that there may be something fishy, ??so you think there must be something fishy, ??and then you go check it out and you find nothing fishy How do you end it?" Fang Jie's tone suddenly turned cold: "I don't want to see it within three years. I didn't let you take charge of the Xiaoqiu School because you were stupid, nor did I grant you such great rights because you were stupid, so don't make me think you are stupid again. " Chen Xiaoru didn't know why Fang Jie changed his face, but he knew that Fang Jie was really angry this time. "Remember this, if today's conversation spreads out, I will kill all nine of your clans." Fang Jie said coldly, and then kicked Chen Xiaoru in the butt: "Get out and do things."
