Jin Yuanzhi came in trotting all the way. For him, being able to meet the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a blessing that he had earned in several lifetimes.

"Old Jin, let me introduce you to..."

Fang Yiai introduced the two men to each other. When Jin Yuanzhi heard that he was the eunuch beside the Crown Prince, he became even more respectful. One has to know that the relationship between a monarch and a eunuch is by no means an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship. He is the most trusted person.

It turned out that when Goguryeo still existed, several eunuchs in their country were very arrogant. So when he saw Eunuch Xia, this guy instinctively associated Eunuch Xia with those people. If he could get in touch with them, he might be able to live in Chang'an in the future. Compared with Chang'an, this place is nothing.

What's more, he also realized that there was nothing to gain in Goguryeo. Now he was almost at the top among the Goguryeo people. If he wanted to continue to climb up, there was absolutely no hope here. If he could reach Chang'an City, there might still be hope. During this period of time, he had to step up his performance and let Eunuch Xia see his ability and say a few good words in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Maybe he would get a new job.

"My Lord, you have called me here, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Although Jin Yuanzhi thought so in his mind, he did not show it on his body. He knew that he was still under Fang Yiai's control and he could not make this matter too obvious. He still had to listen to Fang Yiai.

"It's not a big deal. I'll give you fifteen days to gather 1,500 households and move them all to the northwest. It's best to find first-class people so they won't cause trouble for us. You also need to understand that if anything goes wrong after we get there, both you and I will be held responsible."

Listening to Fang Yiai's words, Jin Yuanzhe's face was expressionless. He had done similar things countless times before. He had often brought people there before, whether they were fighting or transporting. There were so many people who had left his hands. Could he still care about the feelings of his compatriots? If you care about these things, then your family will also be out for more than ten hours a day. Can they bear it?
But suddenly he realized that there was something wrong with these words. In the past, when people were mobilized, they were either young men or young women. But today it seemed a little different. They were actually mobilizing households as units, and the entire family was going to be mobilized. What was going on?
"Sir, we have had similar actions before, but we always recruited people with working ability. If even the elderly and children are required to go, what can they do on the battlefield? It is very likely to cause trouble to the court. Are you mistaken?"

Jin Yuanzhi said bravely that if it was really a mistake, it was still in time to correct it. If all these people were gathered together, it would not be so easy to correct it. There were not so many first-class people around the Protectorate, so they had to be transported from other places.

"There is nothing wrong. Just do as I say. This time the conscription is different from the previous ones. These people will not come back after they go. They will settle down in the northwest and help the court stabilize the border. Do you understand what I mean?"

After listening to Fang Yiai's words, Jin Yuanzhi was dumbfounded. This mission was indeed different from the previous ones. In the past, they just went out to fight and had a chance to come back. Of course, only some people would die outside, and the rest would be able to come back.

But this time it was completely different. They had made it very clear that after you go there, you will settle down there and belong to that place in the future. It has nothing to do with your hometown. You will also have to help the Tang Dynasty guard the border. Isn't this exile to the frontier? Jin Yuanzhi thought of this. This was different from the past. I'm afraid these people will resist. Although they usually obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty, it may not be the case now. They will never be able to come back for the rest of their lives. They will be away from their hometowns for the rest of their lives. Even their children will not be able to come back. These people will have rebellious emotions.

And according to the news they received, wasn't there a war going on in the northwest? Hundreds of thousands of people were fighting each other at any time, and some of the Goguryeo people were still serving on the battlefield, and they also sent back a lot of news, so if they really guarded the border, there would be resistance.

"has a problem?"

Fang Yiai said with a sidelong look, which frightened Jin Yuanzhi. Although Fang Yiai was very optimistic about him, that was when he could get things done. If he couldn't get things done, do you think Fang Yiai would still be optimistic about him? I'm afraid he would have been slapped in the face a long time ago.

"Master Fang, Manager Xia, this matter may cause some trouble. After all, we have to live in the frontier, which is not as simple as going out to fight a war. I am afraid that some unruly people will not be willing to do so."

In terms of betraying his compatriots, Jin Yuanzhi can be said to be ahead of others. Now when he speaks, he already regards himself as a Tang Dynasty person. As for these people in Goguryeo, they are completely out of his consideration. What he is worried about now is that he will not be able to complete the task of the Tang Dynasty court.

"There have been similar situations before. I think you should be able to solve it. In addition, you should do a good job of ideological work for the people below and tell them the disadvantages of staying here. After going to the Western Regions, their lives will definitely be much better than now. At least they can have enough food every day. If they perform well, they can also get a certain amount of houses and fields, and even graze."

Fang Yiai also started to deceive people, saying that this kind of life was simply impossible to achieve. After transporting you guys to the northwest, you would just be slaves in another place. Of course, you would have to be separated. If you were allowed to stick together, then that would be our problem.

Of course, it doesn't mean that everything I said is false. Some of it is true. For example, if we can pick out one or two free people out of a hundred, we have to give you people some hope. If there is no hope at all, I'm afraid there will be more people causing trouble.

After hearing Fang Yiai's words, Jin Yuanzhi didn't believe it at all. Haven't the people of the Tang Dynasty deceived us enough? The word "freedom" is just for liking. If you really believe it, you will easily hurt your waist. (End of this chapter)
