"Your Highness, I have studied several ways to punish people. They couldn't stand it, so I resorted to it."
"Oh?" A look of curiosity appeared on Ning Fan's face, and he said with a smile: "Tell me about it!"
"Ahem!"
Li Luo's expression suddenly became tangled. Jia Xu came to the rescue and said, "My lord, these are all shameful means, so don't mention them!"
"Well!" Ning Fan nodded lightly, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Now that the Hu family has spoken, things will be much easier to handle. Bring them back to Saibei and let Jiang Wei come for a visit!"
"Lord!"
"If the Hu family is really colluding with Mobei, should we be more cautious?"
"It doesn't matter!"
Ning Fan said nonchalantly: "Princess Changning went to the north half a year ago. I wrote a letter and asked her to lead her army there."
"Yes, the mobilization of the border troops needs to be reported to the Ministry of War, and then approved by the imperial court..."
"Didn't my father grant me the right to act expediently?"
Jia Xu was at a loss for words. The authority granted by His Majesty to act expediently was to allow you to act expediently in Huainan. He did not allow you to interfere with the border troops who were thousands of miles away from Huainan!
"Forget it, let's inform my father first!"
"So good!"
Jia Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ning Fan and continued.
"My subordinates have just received a message from the spirit pigeon in Jiangbei. Sir Jiang Wei has taken action. His Majesty sent Ji Sui, Minister of War, to go to Jiangbei in person and take over the troops of Changyan Mansion. Sir Jiang Wei has now also taken over Beihe County. Officials are integrating the army."
When Ning Fan heard this, he nodded first, and then showed a solemn look: "After all, the Lu family has been entrenched in Jiangbei for many years. With two counties to rely on, it will definitely develop its power more unscrupulously."
"Tell Jiang Wei not to take it lightly."
"In addition, when summoning the capital, be sure to be wary of the Lu family. If a dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, it may endanger the capital!"
"Um!"
Jia Xu nodded, as if he had thought of something, and then said: "My Lord, many distinguished guests have come to Huainan in the past few days, and they are all looking for information about Huainan. I don't know..."
"oh?"
Ning Fan's face first showed a look of surprise, and then he looked nervous: "I must keep an eye on them all. If my father knows about my current situation in Huainan, he will definitely call me back to the capital."
"I finally slipped out. There is no excuse for my father to call me back."
"Wen He, no matter what means you use, threats, inducements, intimidation and arrest, you must never leak the information about Huainan to my father or the court."
"Now that I have only been here for half a year, it is impossible for me to go back."
"yes!"
There was also a wry smile on Jia Xu's face. Ning Fan pondered for a moment and said softly: "Pay close attention to the movements of the Lu family. I always feel that the Lu family is more dangerous than the Hu family. Tell Jiang Wei that if necessary, It can be done cheaply.”
"It's time to kill. Now that the knife has been swung, the sword must be struck ruthlessly to eliminate the root cause and avoid future troubles forever!"
"promise!"
A gloom flashed in Jia Xu's eyes, and he walked out of the hall with his hands. Ning Fan looked at Li Luo and said, "Go, tell Shen Wansan to come see me."
"yes!"
After both of them left, Ning Fan thought for a long time, took out the paper raft, and started writing.
"My father, the emperor, since I came to Tibet, I have been deeply aware of the hardships of the people's livelihood, the suffering of the people, and the coldness of the frontier. I have been working hard and determined to change the world and benefit the people. I will live up to my father's expectations and live up to the trust of all the people." , However, I am alone in the shadow. I am weak and weak. I have to work hard to maintain it..."
After some complaints, Ning Fan wrote: "After half a year of intensive cultivation, the face of Huainan has been changed, and the warehouses in various places have been enriched. I am grateful for the kindness of my father. Although there are all kinds of difficulties, I dare not forget the hardships of the court. I am dedicated to you." Millions of grains..."
After Ning Fan wrote down the word "million", he felt it was inappropriate, so he immediately smeared it out, leaving two black balls, and changed it to "hundred thousand stone"...
A eloquent letter with more than a thousand words, while complaining, crying about poverty, expressing feelings, and explaining the longing for the father. However, it is constrained by the people. For the sake of the country, the country, and the common people, they have to stick to this frontier fortress. land.
"Master, Master Shen is here!"
"Um!"
Ning Fan quickly scanned the envelope and found that there was no flaw... After asking the question, he put it into the envelope and threw it to Lin Yong: "Speed this letter to the capital and give it to the emperor!"
"promise!"
After Lin Yong left, Fatty Shen walked in with long strides. Because his body was too plump, he staggered when he walked, swaying left and right, showing off the air of a general!
"My lord, Shen Wansan, please see His Highness!"
As he spoke, he wanted to bend down to salute, but the fat on his thighs was trembling and his belly was a round ball of flesh, so he couldn't bend down.
"Okay, don't show your shame here."
"Tell me about the situation in the north."
"yes!"
Shen Wansan grinned, revealing a face that was even uglier than crying: "Your Highness, today, hundreds of grain shops in the Lu family are collecting grains at high prices. In a short time, the price of grains has almost tripled."
"Collect food?"
A sneer appeared on Ning Fan's face, and he looked at Shen Wansan and said: "Collecting grain at high prices, haha, using the same old methods, preparing to fight an economic war?"
"How many granaries do we have in Jiangbei?"
"Back to Your Highness, it is now nearly 1.5 million stones."
"Throw it out in batches, remember not to attract the attention of the Lu family. I will give them as much as they take. I want to see if the Lu family can eat it."
"Your Highness!" Shen Wansan had a look of worry on his face and said softly: "If our grain depot is empty, wouldn't the Lu family form a monopoly, which will be even more difficult to control?"
"What are you afraid of?"
A strange smile appeared on Ning Fan's face, and he said meaningfully: "Aren't we worried about having no place to store our potatoes?"
"It's just the right time to take this opportunity to vigorously promote potatoes across the country. Besides, do you think the Lu family can really swallow up all our grain reserves?"
"After all the food is collected, if they cannot form a monopoly, they will be shooting themselves in the foot."
"yes!"
Shen Wansan's face also had a sparkle. If it had been before, he might have been afraid that the Lu family would leap over the wall. After all, the Lu family's grain store had almost monopolized the whole country.
But now, His Highness has been planning for almost half a year, and has even grown a magical item like potatoes, which is enough to shake the Lu family's monopoly!
Ning Fan couldn't help but look sad as he looked at the empty hall. Now that his father had sent people to keep an eye on him, it would be even more difficult for him to hide a hundred thousand troops!
"We have to find a way."
"No matter what, you must get the reward for this mission as soon as possible!"
"Lin Bo!"
Ning Fan shouted, and Lin Yong trotted in quickly: "Master, do you miss a woman?"
