The officials believed that they should take advantage of this assassination to send troops south to question the Jiuzhen tribe, firstly to clear up the shame of Yongjiang last year, and secondly to prepare for the possible intensification of the Chu people's coming.
It's not that King Qingyu doesn't want to do this, but last year Yuan Sima led fifty soldiers and suffered a disastrous defeat. It has proved that the Jiuzhen tribe is not that good. If they don't double their troops this time, they may not be able to win. If a hundred soldiers, or even a hundred and fifty soldiers, are transferred, the country will be empty.
Since Mr. Yu led his troops to intervene at the beginning of the year, the relationship between the two countries has been very bad, and the person next to him is the daughter of Mr. Yu. If the troops are sent out, Mr. Yu is likely to take advantage of the situation, and then a Maybe, I'm afraid that the old thing will pull him over and sleep.
The officials generally looked down upon the fighting prowess of the murlocs, believing that even if they "come out with half the country", the remaining half of the country would be enough to defeat the murlocs.
Whether it can be beaten will only be known after the beating, but what if it is not possible? It was the monarch Qingyu who was being dragged to sleep, not the doctor. Qingyu had to worry about a certain corner of his life.
Therefore, Wu Sheng's advice was not to conquer the South, but to investigate the case.
Since it is an investigation, there is no need to rectify the country's scholars and go south in a large scale, but they can make corresponding choices according to the situation. You can choose to "find no solid evidence" or "capture the culprits". Of course, you can also request large-scale support from the country. "Destroy this Chao Shi", even if it fails, it is just "the thief has not been captured", it can be said that it can advance and retreat freely.
Investigating a case is not a battle, and if it is spread out, it will not make people covet it, so as to prevent Qingyu from being taken advantage of by Yu Jun.
Qingyu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "In that case, I will ask Shen Qing to lead a thorough investigation. I wonder how many manpower is needed?"
Wu Sheng said: "I want some edicts."
"edict?"
"If you pursue the stolen goods, I please give half of it to the meritorious people."
"Yes, let me divide it up."
"I would like to share half of the obtained thieves and make them slaves to the meritorious ones."
"Yes, let me divide it up."
"If you get land, I would like to share half of it as a land seal for the meritorious people."
"Yes, I will list your name, and I will seal it."
This is equivalent to giving Wu Sheng three major powers: half the right to distribute the seized property, half the right to distribute the seized population, and half the right to recommend the distribution of the seized land.
With these three powers in hand, Wu Sheng can mobilize all forces when investigating the case. Of course, since we are investigating a case, it is impossible to allocate manpower according to the Southern Expedition. This is a ceiling above Wu Sheng's head. Otherwise, everyone will rush south. When Shangyong is empty, the murlocs will invade, and the monarch will be exposed. risks of.
Although there is a ceiling, the power given to him is large enough, and he is no different from the leader of the army.
On the same day, an order was issued for Wu Sheng to personally investigate the assassin's case. Seeing that the order was not to conquer the south but to investigate the case, all the officials who had no knowledge of the inside story felt that it was boring. They shook their heads and sighed. Yongrentang became much deserted for a while. , the customers who kept coming and going suddenly stopped.
What he wanted was this effect. Wu Sheng planned to deal with it coldly for a while to calm the doctors' anger first.
It took three days before Wu Sheng took action. This time he took the initiative to visit Gong Yin Zhuowuzi.
"I want to build a road." Wu Sheng announced.
Zhuo Wuzi was having nothing to do, and he was very interested when he heard this: "I am already very familiar with Mangdang Mountain. I wonder where the doctor plans to build the road?"
Wu Sheng said: "The king issued an edict and allowed me to investigate the case. Doctor Zhuo must also know about the case, and it may be related to the Jiuzhen Department. It is a long journey from Mangdang Mountain to Lieque Mountain. It is not me who has made such a hard trip just to investigate the case." As you wish.”
"Unknown doctor's wish?"
"It is my wish to use elixirs to save people, to use elixirs to cultivate Taoism, and to use elixirs to help the world. Wherever my path as a doctor goes, I can practice medicine conveniently!"
Zhuo Wuzi was in awe: "I will help you if you wish!"
Building roads solely by faith and vision can only be done by a foolish man, so Wu Sheng promised: "I am willing to bear the money and food for you!"
Just having money and food is still not enough. The autumn harvest is coming soon and it is difficult to recruit manpower. The only people Zhuo Wuzi can recruit are his disciples and middle school craftsmen. The total number is only more than fifty people. Should he let the supervisors and craftsmen dig the earth and carry the rocks? It's not such a practice.
Wu Sheng said: "Plan the map first, and after the road is determined, the autumn harvest is over, and construction can start then. When I was in Mangdang Mountain, people from the Cangwu Department came many times and asked me to diagnose and treat the people, but unfortunately I didn't have time. Arrive. At that time, we communicated with each village of the Cangwu tribe and asked them to send people to repair the roads, repair them all the way, and treat them all the way. I hope there will be no shortage of manpower."
Finally, considering that he could not let Zhuo Wuzi do hard work for him based on his own free will, he made a wish on the spot: "Your Majesty promised that I will have the right to distribute the people, property and land obtained from the investigation of the case, and the road construction will also help me investigate the case. I will never treat Dr. Zhuo badly."
Dr. Zhuo was displeased: "This is about practicing medicine to help the world. What about money and material?"
Wu Sheng smiled and apologized: "I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Dr. Zhuo."
Zhuo Wuzi did not delay. The next day, he organized his retainers and craftsmen and set off southward with Wu Sheng.
There was an official road and a smooth road, so the car drove south quickly and arrived at Mangdang Mountain in less than three days.
He started making preparations two days ago and asked the Master Dong Bamboo to go to Yangzhou to buy grain - there will be no shortage of food in Yangzhou after the autumn harvest. He also sent people to Mangdang Mountain and asked the mountain envoys Lu Fang and Jin Wuhuan to make preparations in advance and wait for them. When we arrived, more than a dozen bamboo houses had been erected at the southernmost tip of Mangdang Mountain, and Zhuo Wuzi and the craftsmen lived in them directly.
Wu Sheng asked Jin Wuhuan: "I sent a message back, saying that I wanted to pay a visit to the leader of the Lianshan tribe. How is it?"
Jin Wuhuan said: "Dong Da took Suo Laoliu and Zhang Xiaokeng to contact us. The main stronghold of Lianshan tribe is less than a hundred miles away. I believe there will be a reply in the next day or two. I last month with the leader of the big stronghold. I've seen it, Brother Wu has nothing to worry about. If you don't go to see him, he will come to see you. He wants to build a road south more than you do."
Wu Sheng nodded: "That's natural. He wants all the tribes to come to Mangdang Mountain. Even the mountain tribe is more lively and important."
A road connects the north and the south. Although it is simple, as long as it can be driven by traffic, the goods going back and forth can be ten times more than in the past. Ordinary people do not carry goods, but they can travel more than three times faster. Even those who are practicing can save time. It can also be half more.
It has been half a year since the road was built, and the changes it has brought to the Lianshan tribe are huge. Naturally, this village leader and tribe leader cannot ignore them.
As Jin Wuhuan said, this big-headed man from the Lianshan tribe rushed to Mangdang Mountain that night. He was a tall and strong man, dressed in tiger skin, with a ring on the tip of his nose. He really had the spirit of a barbarian.
Wu Sheng hosted a banquet for him, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then shocked the leader: "Ten months ago, I was assassinated in Shangyong."
The leader said angrily: "Who is so bold as to attack the alchemist? I will never let him go even if there are nearly ten thousand people in the mountain tribe!"
Wu Sheng then said: "This assassin reported his family name and said his surname was Dao."
The leader was immediately shocked. His surname was Dao, and his real name was Dao Nanshe!
