Chu Junyuan also told Hu Rongrong about some of the policies and deployments that the court was about to implement, and asked Hu Rongrong to ask his family to be prepared.
On the second day, Chu Junyuan handed over the captured "Gang Guo" spies to the Ministry of Justice, asking them to torture them severely. Although Wei State had already made various plans, it did not attach much importance to the intelligence of these spies.
However, if they could get some intelligence unknown to the Wei Kingdom, it would be a good gain. At the same time, Chu Junyuan intensified the investigation of whether there were spies in Five Star City, in case someone caused chaos in places like Zhonghua City when His Majesty personally led the army, which would also cause considerable panic.
Another point is that in the next few months, Wei State will continuously implement a series of measures to prepare for war. If these spies continue to lurk in Wei State, it is very likely that these intelligence reports will be sent to other countries on the Shengwu Continent, arousing the vigilance of other countries.
The next day, the Royal Daily reported that Gan Guo's spies were causing trouble in Wei State. The court ordered the spies to evacuate immediately, threatening Wei State's resolute measures if they failed. The court also promised a reward of 50,000 taels of silver to anyone who could provide verified intelligence on the spies.
The people of Wei State's eyes lit up when they saw the reward. You know, 50,000 taels of silver is a huge fortune for ordinary people. If they can find a spy, their family life will be improved.
When every citizen of Wei State participated in the action of reporting spies, it became more difficult for spies from other countries to lurk among the people of Wei State. It also made those who wanted to become spies discouraged. After all, no one wanted to be arrested as soon as they entered Wei State.
After reading the Royal Daily, the aristocratic families of Wei State stepped up their inspections of their own territories and industries, fearing that spies from the Gan State had infiltrated their families. They knew that these spies would not only pose a threat to the security of Wei State, but might also do something detrimental to their own families.
Besides, if the court discovered that there was a spy in his family, once discovered, his family members might also be suspected by the court, which would bring even greater shame to his family.
You must know that although these aristocratic families usually like to fight for power and profit, they are still very united when facing foreign enemies. After all, if the State of Wei was conquered by other countries, the fate of these aristocratic families would definitely not be good.
In addition, the imperial court offered a reward of 50,000 taels of silver for a spy, which made the younger generation of the aristocratic families very excited. You know, how much fine wine can you buy with 50,000 taels of silver, and how long can you listen to music in brothels?
After those aristocratic families stepped up their investigation efforts, they did discover traces of some spies from other countries, and they arrested them in a timely manner and handed them over to the court.
After receiving the spies handed over by these aristocratic families, the imperial court also rewarded these families and stated that as long as the aristocratic families could continue to increase their investigation efforts and discover more spies, the court would continue to reward them.
Even those sects in the Wei Kingdom who are unwilling to obey the orders of the court actually love this country. When the Huns invaded, they stood up and fought against the Huns and the warriors of the Gan Kingdom.
It's just that these sects don't fully agree with the Chu family's rule, but when faced with foreign enemies, they will still choose to stand on the side of the country. You have to know that the Chu family was just a sect in the beginning. It was the Chu family's ancestor who used shameless tactics to disband the sect on the spot and form a resistance army. After overthrowing the rule of the previous dynasty, the Chu family established the Wei Kingdom. Originally, they were all from the same sect, but the Chu family used tricks to ascend to the throne and become their rulers. Of course, they were very dissatisfied, so even after nearly a thousand years, these sects still refused to obey the orders of the Wei court.
However, the conflict between them and the Wei court did not affect their concern for the safety of the country. Since the big spies from other countries wanted to undermine the stability of Wei, they would naturally not sit idly by.
And when they learned that these spies from other countries wanted the court to cancel the pension policy for the families of martyrs, they became extremely angry.
You don't think that only ordinary people are martyrs, do you? Although these sects are unwilling to obey the orders of the Wei court, their contribution to Wei's defense against warriors from other countries cannot be ignored. Among these sects are also many families of martyrs.
Because of the Wei court's pension policy, the lives of these martyrs' families can be guaranteed, and this policy has greatly reduced the burden on the sect forces. These people who originally had little ability to survive can live a relatively stable life because of the court's pension.
However, in the past, these people needed to be supported by the sect. Many times, if the sect did not have enough money, many sects had no choice but to let these family members who made sacrifices for the Wei State fend for themselves.
However, the court's pension policy changed this situation. As long as the warriors sacrificed their lives for the Wei Kingdom, their families would receive the proper care and protection, and the sects would not have to pay a penny.
If the children of these families grew up and had a talent for cultivation, they could be accepted into the sect to continue their training and become the next generation of powerful warriors. In fact, this was also the reason why many low-level warriors applied for the Weiwu School and the Weiguo National Defense University when the Wei Kingdom opened.
Their cultivation talents were already low, and if they continued to stay in the sect, they would only be at the bottom of the society, unable to hold their heads up. However, if they could pass the entrance exam to the Weiwu Academy or the National Defense University, things would be different. In the future, they would have the opportunity to become generals, enter the upper echelons of the Wei State, become important officials in the court, and become a person of high status.
In addition, the imperial court's pension policy provided a safety net, allowing them to fight on the front lines without any worries. Even if they achieved success and were killed, the imperial court would still take care of their families. Therefore, even if the sects harbored grudges against the Wei court, they were still willing to work together to resist foreign enemies in the interests of the country. These spies actually wanted the court to cancel this policy, and these sects would definitely not allow such a conspiracy to succeed.
The warriors of Wei State also began to pay attention to whether there were spies around them, because many disciples of the sects came to Wei State from other countries to learn martial arts, and among these disciples there would inevitably be some people with ulterior motives.
