The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 630 Ling Jing is in Action

When Li Zhi entered the court to report, Ling Jing also launched an investigation in Nanpi County. The reason why he came to Nanpi County instead of Yanshan, the place where the Chuanlun Sect started, was because of information that a batch of military equipment was in the area. Transiting in Nanpi County, it will be transported to Yanshan soon.

There are 30 Black Ice Terrace fighters accompanying Ling Jing, all of whom are the most elite fighters of the Black Ice Terrace. They have been engaged in espionage for many years and have extraordinary insight into suspicious points. A native of Bohai County, who was born in poverty, was originally Gao Shida's subordinate and was reorganized by Dou Jiande. When Dou Jiande was defeated and retreated to Qingzhou, he was incorporated into the infantry of the Sui Army at that time. ;Because of his simple background, he is astute, so he became a member of the Black Ice Terrace.

Nanpi County is one of the most important water and land transfers in Jizhou. There are two official roads crossing here.In terms of waterway, it is the confluence of Yongji Canal and Zhangshui. Needless to say, Yongji Canal leads directly to the Yellow River, but if you go west along Zhangshui, you can write a lot about it.

Zhangshui goes west, passing through the three counties of Qinghe, Wuyang, and Weijun, and reaches Tongda County, Shangdang County, Bingzhou, and then reaches Jiexiu County, Xihe County through the new canal connecting Fenshui and Zhangshui, and then goes north to Helou, Taiyuan County Fan County, then through the canal between Jingle County and Xinkou in Loufan County, connects Hutuo River, directly leads to Jizhou Hengshan County, and reaches the sea.

These interlocking water transport channels were all cleared by foreign slaves and prisoners of war. More than 30 Turkic, Khitan, and Goguryeo people died here, and piles of bones piled up into mountains.However, the people of the Great Sui Dynasty who lived in troubled times were only afraid of the living but not the dead, so no matter how many aliens died, everyone didn't care, as long as it was convenient to travel.

Originally, Yang Tong was not so ruthless, and originally planned to disperse the aliens to various counties in the interior to supplement the population of the Sui Dynasty and increase the tax revenue of the court, but Wei Zheng's words smashed Yang Tong's kindness to nothing.

Wei Zheng said this: "Your Majesty, you said that there was not an inch of land in the Sui Dynasty that was superfluous, but you respectfully invited people from other races to enter the Sui Dynasty, and donated hundreds of hectares of good land that your ancestors worked so hard to cultivate to other peoples. How is this different from bringing thieves into the house? If you think there are many fertile fields, why don’t you share a few more acres with the poor people of the Sui Dynasty? Why don’t you feel more sorry for the people of your own clan? Also, after a large number of these foreigners joined the Sui nationality, they did not share a few acres with the poor people of the Sui Dynasty. The status of the people of this tribe is equal, but because everyone has different beliefs and customs, disputes will inevitably arise after getting along with each other for a long time. Local officials may help the people of the same tribe, while helping relatives may upset the hearts of foreigners. Indignation is born, such small conflicts, after decades of accumulation, will eventually become deep hatred, and when the time comes, people of other races want to rebel, and people of their own clan also want to rebel, what will the court do?"

The cold sweating Yang Tong realized his mistake, and asked Ji Yu Wei, "According to Wei Qing's opinion, how to deal with so many slaves?"

"Men, continue to build mountains and build roads and dig canals; as for women, pick out the beautiful ones, betroth them to the lieutenants, and reproduce them from generation to generation, so that men and women in our Great Sui Dynasty will become the most handsome and beautiful people in the world; Women and strong women should be handled by men." Wei Zheng said.

As a result, the conditions for naturalization became more stringent, and the tens of thousands of ugly and strong women who were trafficked to the Sui Dynasty were also reduced to members of the construction site because of Wei Zheng's words, contributing to the infrastructure projects of the Sui Dynasty. , various magnificent projects are also in full swing because of so much extra effort.

In order to introduce high-quality varieties and improve the quality of the people in the mainland, the caravans of the Ministry of Commerce opened the population trading window for Goguryeo and Silla. These two countries have been fighting and killing intermittently since the Han Dynasty, and there are more women than men A country with a small population, so, through the hands of the aristocratic families of the two countries, the Department of Commerce of the Great Sui Dynasty introduced the beauties of the two countries into the Great Sui Dynasty with a string of yellow Yanhuang Tongbao.

As for Baekje, it has been plagued by Japanese slaves for several generations, and the women they gave birth to are several times uglier than Turkic women. Their beauties are not enough for self-sufficiency, so how can they sell extra beauties to Tai Sui?Even if those short, ugly and thin women were willing to sell, Da Sui would not accept them.Even if it is free, so as not to waste food.

At the intersection of Zhangshui River and Yongji Canal in Nanpi County, there are not only official warehouses hoarding grain from Liaodong, but also more than a thousand private warehouses, large and small, in the city. Many private houses are also rented out as warehouses. When Ling Jing entered the city, It was found that the merchants gathered here were not affected by the relocation of the capital. This was mainly due to the convenience of water transportation. If you go north from here, you can pass through the 'Yongji Canal-Lushui-Baoqiu Water that breaks through the Yanshan Mountains' to reach the grassland and Baoqiu. Due to the limited water volume, large ships with a thousand stone or more cannot be transported. However, it is far larger than the land transportation in the north, saving time and money. Therefore, merchants in the Sui Dynasty are willing to go to the grassland through this golden waterway, and Turks, Shiwei People, Mohe people do business.

In this way, Nanpi County, a water transportation hub, became a place where goods were concentrated in the Sui Dynasty and goods were scattered on the grasslands. There were many wineries, teahouses, and inns in the county, and the commerce was very developed.

As the head of the Tai Sui business, Ling Jing liked this bustling business atmosphere very much, and felt a sense of relief watching the children grow up gradually.There are a lot of caravans here, so the team of them pretending to be sightholders is not eye-catching.

After entering the city, they lodged in the hero building managed by disabled soldiers, and they rented out an independent small courtyard.Once inside, Ling Jing closed the door, took out a map of Bohai County and spread it on the table, and discussed with Shen Cong. He first pointed to the location of the north gate of Nanpi and said: "We are now at the gate of the North City, and our The target is here..." As he said, he pointed his finger not far to the south, "Information says that there is a warehouse named Xingyou Tianxia here, and there are ten warehouses in it. Material transfer, according to the information we got, there are a thousand pairs of bright light armor and a thousand horizontal knives in this warehouse."

"The Mingguang armors of Dasui have numbers, where did these come from?" Shen Guang couldn't help asking.

"Jing Xiang!" Ling Jing added without waiting for Shen Cong to ask, "From this we can know that the Reincarnation Sect is inextricably linked to Li Yuan."

"Shangshu is going to destroy this Xingyou Tianxia warehouse?"

"Of course not!" Ling Jing shook his head, and said: "Our purpose is to find the home of the Chakri, and this batch of military supplies is extremely valuable, and will definitely be sent to the home of the Chak, General Shen's task is to follow this batch of supplies. "

"I will understand at the end."

"Judging from the intelligence time, this batch of materials has either already been transported or shipped away recently, so the first step is to confirm whether the batch of materials is still in the warehouse, and the second step is to wait for them to leave."

"Shangshu, there will be one thing unknown at the end."

"go ahead!"

"Since we already know that the magistrate of Nanpi County is a high-ranking figure of the Chakram, why not directly arrest and torture him?"

"These so-called Buddhas may not know the location of the lair of the Chakra Sect. If they attack these people rashly, they will only scare the snake. If the armor and horizontal knife have been taken away, we can only do this."

"I will understand at the end."

"You also know that after the thawing of the river channel, we will launch a big battle in the Sui Dynasty. This battle is of great importance. The whole court focuses on this battle, and does not have much energy to pay attention to internal affairs. If the Reincarnation Sect rebels in the Bohai Sea at a critical moment, It will definitely affect the combat soldiers, so we must uproot this nail before the river thaws, and we have very little time to waste. Moreover, this is a major matter that the Holy Majesty has personally grasped. I hope that General Shen will be more careful."

Shen Cong nodded silently, and suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Ling Jing didn't say what would happen if he couldn't complete the task, but stated the importance of the task and the short time. If Shen Cong didn't even understand this, he wouldn't be qualified to enter the Black Ice Platform.
