Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

thinking.

Li Er smiled and nodded: "Okay, then follow what Qin Mu said, stay in Youzhou for a few more days."

heard.

The corners of Qin Mu's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked at Wang Junkuo with a meaningful smile: "Since that's the case, I've been bothering Wang Dudu these few days, and Wang Dudu probably won't care."

Wang Junkuo hastily saluted: "The son-in-law is seriously serious, and the general will definitely devote himself to the end."

Seeing his appearance, Qin Mu sneered secretly.

The longer you stay in Youzhou.

The greater the chance of Wang Junkuo's fox tail leaking out.

Only by catching Wang Junkuo's handle as soon as possible can this deeply hidden snake and scorpion be eradicated.

Li Er turned his head to look at Qin Mu, frowning.

He found that Qin Mu talked a lot today, and he was a little deliberately targeting Wang Junkuo.

immediately.

Li Er rescued Wang Junkuo and said: "Junkuo, Youzhou is in the midst of a waste of time, you don't need to stay here, go and deal with government affairs."

After hearing Li Er's words, Wang Junkuo heaved a sigh of relief, bowed his head and said, "It's Your Majesty, I will retire at the end."

Chapter 373: Evidence Difficult to Find (3/5)

At night, the stars hang down the plains.

Youzhou City.

Dudufu.

wing.

Qin Mu sat quietly in the room, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was taking a nap.

Suddenly a gust of wind was blowing, and the bearded man in green clothes had already entered the room.

Qin Mu slowly opened his eyes.

"My son-in-law." The bearded man cupped his hands and called out.

Qin Mu nodded slightly, and then got straight to the point: "Has Jin Yiwei found any evidence of crimes related to Wang Junkuo?"

The bearded man shook his head helplessly: "Jin Yiwei has been staring at Wang Junkuo for some time, and has not yet collected any criminal evidence."

heard.

Qin Mu frowned slightly, he didn't expect that Wang Junkuo handled it so cleanly.

Even Jin Yiwei spent so much effort to no avail.

Sure enough, there are some means.

At this time.

The bearded man said again: "Should we kill Wang Junkuo first, and then look for evidence later?"

They killed the Tianying Gang before, and those Hu merchants did the same.

It would not be difficult to kill another Wang Junkuo.

Qin Mu shook his head slightly, frowned slightly and said, "No, this time is different, Wang Junkuo just killed Li Yuan, and now his reputation in Youzhou is very high, and the common people regard him as a great hero who killed traitors."

Qin Mu secretly said: It's a pity that Wang Junkuo was not born as a director in modern times.

His self-writing and self-directing skills are really at the pinnacle.

"Then what should we do?" Qiubeard asked.

Qin Mu pondered for a moment, and said: "Wang Junkuo is a man with a deep city and is very good at hiding himself. Now that His Majesty is in Youzhou City, Wang Junkuo will definitely act more cautiously."

"So, this time, we must first dig out Wang Junkuo's old background, put the evidence of the crime before his eyes, and then bring him to justice. This can be regarded as an account to the people of Youzhou."

"If there is no real evidence, and it is said empty-handedly that Wang Junkuo encouraged Li Yuan to plot a rebellion, and then betrayed him and killed him, and finally became the hero of killing the rebels, how many people can believe it?"

talking.

Qin Mu sneered, Wang Junkuo's plan was really good.

If he didn't know the truth of the matter.

I'm afraid Wang Junkuo would never have imagined such a sinister plan.

Don't look at Li Yuan as the king of Lujiang and the governor of Youzhou.

In fact, Li Yuan was Wang Junkuo's pawn from the very beginning.

Li Yuan's bad deeds in Youzhou City all have Wang Junkuo's shadow behind them.

It's just that he doesn't even know it.

Hearing this, the bearded man nodded, and said helplessly, "What the son-in-law said is very true. If you hadn't told me about Wang Junkuo's conspiracy, I would never have thought that Wang Junkuo is such a person."

"And according to what we have investigated so far, it has nothing to do with Wang Junkuo. It can only be said that this person is too calm."

Qin Mu nodded slightly, "That's right, so we must not take it lightly. He is not the only one with deep scheming in this world. Let Jin Yiwei continue to investigate, and we must not let go of any clues."

"Yes."

The bearded guest agreed, and then left quietly.

Qin Mu stood up and looked at the cold moon outside the window with a chill in his eyes.

Today, he saw the killing intent in Wang Junkuo's eyes.

But I don't know where Wang Junkuo has the courage to hit him with ideas.

I don't know how many lives Wang Junkuo has, whether it is enough to kill him.

The next day.

Dudufu.

Qin Mu and Li Er were having breakfast in the dining room when Wang Junkuo came in a hurry.

into the hall.

Wang Junkuo saluted solemnly: "See Your Majesty."

Li Er waved his hand casually: "Get up, don't be too polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Junkuo smiled, then looked at a few people and said, "The climate in Youzhou is not as good as that in the capital, and this winter is much colder. I don't know, Your Majesty, how many adults are still used to it?"

Li Er nodded: "Very good, I like the cold energy in Youzhou."

Cheng Yaojin said carelessly: "This Dudu's Mansion can't be worse, but it's much more comfortable than us sleeping on the road."

"Then I can rest assured." Wang Junkuo smiled, and then looked at Qin Mu, "My lord, I have been fascinated by you for a long time, my lord came here in a hurry yesterday, and I haven't entertained my lord well yet, please Your pardon."

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled lightly: "Dudu Wang, you're being polite. We have to stay in Youzhou for a few more days, so we won't disappoint Dudu Wang's kindness."

As Qin Mu spoke, he deliberately emphasized that he would stay for a few more days.

Wang Junkuo nodded with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and then said: "Your Majesty, I stayed up all night last night. I have been thinking hard about how to benefit the people of Youzhou, and finally let me come up with a few measures. , I would like to ask His Majesty for advice."

Qin Mu didn't show his expression, but he was secretly laughing in his heart.

Wang Junkuo came here to gain goodwill while Li Er was in Youzhou.

I just don't know how true this is.

Li Er suddenly became interested and waved: "Okay, tell me quickly."

Changsun Wuji also cast his gaze over.

I want to know what measures this anti-rebellion hero Wang Junkuo will come up with.

Cheng Yaojin didn't care much, he still ate his breakfast with big mouthfuls.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Junkuo saluted slightly, with a smile on his face, and said, "I thought about three things last night."

"The first point is to confiscate all the family property of the traitor Li Yuan, and then count the money and turn it over to the treasury, but I want to ask Your Majesty to exempt the people of Youzhou from two years of corvee and tax, so as to recuperate and stabilize the people of Youzhou. "

Li Er nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, Li Yuan has been domineering in Youzhou for many years, and the common people have been living in dire straits, so they need to take a good rest."

Li Yuan searched for a large amount of people's fat and people's ointment.

However, reducing or exempting two years of corvee tax is nothing important.

after all.

Today's Li Er is not as short of money as Wude Nine Years.

The corners of Qin Mu's mouth raised slightly as he listened.

Wang Junkuo knows how to be a man. First, he finishes Li Er's favor, and then he brushes up the common people's favor.

They know that this is the tax reduction and exemption that Wang Junkuo asked for for them, and they will be very grateful.

His popularity will also increase.

Li Er waved his hand: "Go ahead."

Wang Junkuo nodded, and continued: "The second point is that I want to expel all the food towns that His Majesty bestowed to the humble officials, as well as the population that Li Yuan belonged to before, so as to set an example for the people of Youzhou, and it will also make people feel better. The people of Youzhou trust the imperial court even more."

"The third point is to increase agricultural production in the Youzhou area, encourage the people to reclaim wasteland, and raise money from the Youzhou treasury to purchase new farm tools for the people."

Changsun Wuji's pupils dilated slightly.

Wang Junkuo really has some talents, and the actions listed are all for the common people, which is really good.

Wang Junkuo is also Li Er's old subordinate.

It's just that he was sent to Youzhou by Li Yuan, but Li Er didn't expect that Wang Junkuo was also capable of handling government affairs.

Wait for Wang Junkuo to finish speaking.

Li Er was overjoyed immediately, "Okay, okay, after two years, if you can make the people of Youzhou live a prosperous life, I will make you the Duke of the county."

Chapter 374: On Politics (4/5)

Hearing Li Er's promise, Wang Junkuo was overjoyed and excitedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely fulfill my duties, work hard, and try my best to let the people of Youzhou live a prosperous life and build Youzhou City well."

"Youzhou's government affairs are controlled by Ai Qing, so I don't have to worry about it." Li Er nodded in relief and smiled.

With a humble face, Wang Junkuo said, "Your Majesty has praised you absurdly, and I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty's high expectations."

"Hahaha, okay." Li Er said with a smile, and then asked seriously: "When I first arrived in Youzhou, Li Yuan's rule was not good. There are many situations, and I still need Ai Qing to explain my doubts."

"Please speak, Your Majesty." Wang Junkuo bowed solemnly.

Li Er nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Youzhou is an important military town and a commercial center, but Li Yuan's rule has been ineffective. It can be said that Youzhou is in ruins at this time. Let me ask you, do you know the military and commercial affairs of Youzhou? What's the problem with agriculture?"

When Wang Junkuo heard the words, he sighed heavily at first, and then said worriedly: "To tell you the truth, Youzhou's military expenditure is short, and the military equipment is old-fashioned. There is no money to replace the equipment for the Youzhou army. There's a big gap."

"The main reason is that this Li Yuan is greedy and innocent. Not only did the common people plunder the people's fat, but he even embezzled the military expenses of the Youzhou Army."

"Youzhou's agriculture has been advancing slowly, and the people have no land to grow. In the final analysis, it is Li Yuan's lazy administration, which has caused the situation of landlords annexing land to become more and more serious. Saying it has little effect.”

"Youzhou's commercial development is also at a standstill. Li Yuan has been in collusion with Hu merchants for a long time, constantly suppressing Datang merchants, resulting in the proliferation of Hu merchants in Youzhou city. Even if the imperial court ordered the rectification of Hu merchants a while ago, Li Yuan's Covering up is futile."

Wang Junkuo reported the problems in Youzhou to Li Er comprehensively.

Several important issues were highlighted.

But Wang Junkuo was deeply thoughtful, and he put all these crimes on Li Yuan's head.

Establish your own image with integrity and selflessness.

Seems like a decent person.

Qin Mu chuckled secretly, Li Yuan was responsible for what Wang Junkuo said.

Even if Li Er had doubts about him, there was no proof.

In addition, Wang Junkuo's superficial skills are excellent.

Others can't see that he has evil intentions.

It is easier to believe that he is really thinking about the people of Youzhou.
