The investigation was quite detailed, but Zhao Xin still felt that something was amiss with Chu Zhan. It wasn't just a question, it was just very puzzling.
Very unremarkable experience.
It's unbelievable.
If it were really an ordinary family, they wouldn't have such a dull experience. But this experience really makes people speechless.
He even had a tendency to align himself with Cao Ziyu. In his previous life, Chu Zhan had already aligned himself with Cao Ziyu. And in this life, he was afraid he couldn't prevent this fate.
Besides, the Nan family hadn't made any move yet, and Cao Ziyu hadn't said anything foolish about rebellion. As long as he could still get by, Zhao Xin would be willing to endure it for a while.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
"Don't let your guard down. I remember that we have to go and open the hunting ground in the back mountain sometime. If no one enters, it might cause trouble."
It is called a hunting ground, but in fact it is just that Zhao Xin himself is itching to go hunting, so he quickly called people to try to form a team by going to the back mountain.
But this is what the Prime Minister said.
"Your Majesty, there is a very strange team in the Great Qin, and we must not let our guard down against this team."
The main reason was that Zhuge was afraid that this group of troops would really do something weird.
There are indeed quite a few troops stationed there, and they not only sent money and food but also reserve supplies to those three places. They are more arbitrary than tenants.
Who wouldn't want a tenant who offered a high price and had no requirements? So they all gave up their space. It only cost a few cents, but the other side just gave them a bag of gold leaves.
He made such bold statements that he demanded the right to use this place for a year.
"Your Majesty, someone has sounded out these people. They are quite open-minded. However, their foundation is somewhat unstable."
Zhuge Liang said so, but it seems that this really has little to do with Zhao Xin. This is obviously greed, and how much greed does it take to satisfy it?
This is greed, and greed is endless, just like this person.
"So, Mr. Zhuge, what do you mean? Are you really planning to buy these people out?"
Zhao Xin was a little confused, and more importantly, he was a little bewildered by this man's attitude.
This is obviously greed.
"Your Majesty, you can give it a try."
snort.
"If you want to try, then try it yourself. He won't be so stupid as to follow you for the little money you give him. He'll probably think you're sending off a beggar."
In fact, Zhuge Liang didn’t really mean that.
After all, he is very knowledgeable, so it is normal that Zhao Xin didn't figure it out.
"Your Majesty, do you need an excuse now?"
To be honest.
Zhao Xin is a pretty stable person, and in other words, he doesn't do anything that he's not sure about.
How to say it.
He unilaterally thought this was a good thing.
After all, people can earn a second salary at home without having to work hard at home. This is not pie in the sky. It is lucky that no one is killed. This inexplicable good luck should also be considered luck.
"I think this situation is quite good. They won't have to work and will be able to collect a lot more tax this year. Besides, they won't have to suffer so much."
In Zhuge Liang's eyes, these people were thorns in his flesh, but in Zhao Xin's eyes, this person was a complete cash cow, and the kind that dropped golden leaves. And isn't it wonderful to be able to make money inexplicably like this?
Why drive him away?
If Zhao Xin still hasn't found any news by the time he has squeezed the money dry or wants to leave, he can ask people to create some unusual movements in the desert. After all, what he has to do from the beginning to the end is to drain the other side's money.
"Your Majesty, you are confused."
He really didn't think this matter was that bad. Even the enemy soldiers could be semi-friendly. Besides, if these three places were attacked, the army would have to defend them to the death. If someone attacked, one of them would probably send troops directly up.
There is no need for the local county magistrate to take action at all.
It also saves money on sending troops.
He is really a genius at saving money.
"Your Majesty, have you ever considered the consequences of this? If only these three places receive the money, it would be considered unearned gain. Naturally, the others would be unhappy and would subsequently create public opinion against Your Majesty."
This is quite interesting to say.
Besides, it was obvious that the people in this desert area went there because they thought there was something wrong. They were not people hired by Zhao Xin to act out a trick. This was just his fate. What could Zhao Xin do?
He is not God.
"I've said before that not everyone is blessed with this kind of luck. Besides, wherever there's luck, there's also bad luck. Can I really change God's will?"
It's a joke.
"Your Majesty, think about it again. This place was captured by foreign troops, and there are still residential houses here. Aren't you afraid that this group of people will directly pay foreign troops to attract people to live here and then register their household registration."
I didn't expect that.
Zhuge Liang is really thoughtful and can even foresee such things.
"To be more thorough, it seems that I really have no obstacles for them. Besides, I said that we should collect them for half a year first, or you can send people to explore."
Zhao Xin didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so he just pushed it aside and let Zhuge solve it.
He himself is also keen on power, and later also has the intention of controlling the world. In this case, Zhao Xin can also let him be an ambitious person from beginning to end.
"I also know that you are keen on power. In that case, I leave this matter entirely to the Prime Minister. I also hope that the Prime Minister will not let me down."
He also patted Zhuge's shoulder. Zhuge nodded, but he felt a little uneasy. This place is quite large. Besides, the western region is a completely chaotic province. He didn't know what would happen if it continued to develop.
And since the emperor has given the order, he has no choice but to obey.
"Your Majesty, I will first investigate the situation for you. After all, we are afraid of being ambushed. Letting such a captured person fall into the hands of the enemy would be a disaster."
Zhuge Liang did not dare to send troops rashly, so he had to go back and discuss it.
He prided himself on not fighting an unprepared battle, and this time he was on the offensive while the opponent was on the defensive. This place was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the capabilities of the desert region were well-tested by the generals.
Therefore, entering and investigating from the desert area is almost impossible.
He wasn't stupid enough to rush into the desert in such a sandstorm-prone weather and seek death. But Zhuge was certain of one thing: there must be something in the desert.
And it's a big object, otherwise how could so many people be waiting for it.
There were also three messages sent by carrier pigeons before. In one area, in addition to the watchtower, there were even patrols underneath, patrolling the area with one foot deep and one foot shallow, accompanied by the sand. Although no one knew what it meant.
And there are three of them, so they are probably not small characters.
