Regarding Fusu's answer, Meng Tian was a little helpless.
"Your Highness, this question... isn't important now, is it?"
Fusu pursed his lips and smiled, and replied calmly, "What does General Meng think is important now?"
"Your Highness..." Seeing him like this, Meng Tian smiled bitterly again, "Mr. Han Fei has been making a lot of moves these days, and I am worried that His Highness will have difficulty explaining it to His Majesty the Emperor."
"Do you want them to..."
"Everything Mr. Han Fei did was allowed by me, or simply what I asked him to do." Fusu interrupted Meng Tian and replied in a gentle but firm tone, "The purpose is also to develop the counties in the North. I think
No problem."
"But many of their recent behaviors seem to have exceeded the needs of development." Meng Tian continued to try to persuade, using words that were very cautious and conservative.
He was firmly on Fusu's side, and he didn't want to target Han Fei, just for insurance.
Fusu was silent for a while and then replied, "This is the Northland. To develop, we need not only materials and population, but also some stronger means to protect it all."
"What Mr. Han Fei did did not cross the line."
"If His Majesty the Emperor reprimands you, Fusu is willing to shoulder the responsibility."
When Fu Su said this, Meng Tian could no longer persuade him. He could only shake his head and said, "Your Majesty, why do you say this? The general will be ordered to run the army in the north. If there is any omission and your Majesty's orders are made, it will naturally be Meng Tian's fault."
Responsibility."
Fusu smiled when he heard this, but did not forcefully compete with Meng Tian for this opportunity to take the blame.
All the land in the world is the land of the king; the shores of the land are all the ministers of the king.
Who will take the blame then? It doesn't matter whether he or Meng Tian talks about it. It still depends on the emperor's wishes.
If there is a real problem, he will put all the blame on himself and do his best to obey the orders of "God".
Meng Tian sighed secretly in his heart and hurriedly left.
Fusu was not sure that Han Fei would stop, so he had to discuss it with the other party, and everyone tried their best to fool him.
Liusha's dominance in the North is achieved by relying on the government. There are a large number of local officials in the counties in the North who are Liusha people.
However, Han Fei did not have an official status, because he was already 'dead', and he was a 'dead person' certified by the emperor himself.
In order to avoid being misunderstood by Ying Zheng as a direct provocation to him, it was impossible for Han Fei to become an official unless he really changed his name.
But this does not affect Han Fei's command of a large number of county guards and magistrates.
Quicksand has recently gathered a massive reserve of materials in the Northland, including many taboo "controlled items" such as weapons and armor.
Most of them were hidden by Han Fei, but the number was too large and they couldn't be properly hidden.
Hiding things is not just about digging a hole and burying it, not to mention that the things Han Fei wants to hide cover too many types.
Food, clothing, weapons, armor, wood and stone, even gold, silver, copper, iron, tin and other hardware, and even horses and other living animals, in short, everything is included, including food, clothing, shelter and transportation.
These things require different storage conditions, and they all need to be stored properly to ensure they last forever and don't cause problems.
On this basis, Han Fei also had to ensure that he was hidden and could not be easily detected by the outside world.
In other words, Liusha has been operating in the Northland for twenty years, otherwise there would be no need to even think about hiding it.
Even so, there is still too much left that cannot be hidden.
Among them, those that are not prohibited or controlled are easy to deal with. You can just find a way to put them into the treasury of each county and put them away first.
But contraband is troublesome. Even local governments cannot store large amounts of weapons, armor, hardware and mineral materials in their own warehouses - these things are not circulated among the people, and are all controlled by the central court. They can't even tell the source clearly.
.
If Ying Zheng didn't come to inspect the Northland, although these things would be troublesome, there would always be a way to deal with them.
After all, Liusha is the uncrowned king of the North. If Han Fei was willing, he could place it all at the gate of every county government office and no one would say anything.
But now that Ying Zheng is coming, we must quickly find a way to 'rationalize' these things.
Meng Tian also knew that Han Fei had a large amount of controlled materials on hand, which was also his biggest concern.
So he planned to talk to Han Fei to see if he could let his border troops eat these things in a reasonable way and keep them temporarily.
Even if it can only be hidden for a while, that's enough.
………………
Although Fusu and Mengtian spoke as if Han Fei was far away from them at this time, in fact, Han Fei was also in Fushi City.
Shangjun is the well-deserved base camp of Liusha in the North.
The eldest son Fusu, the general Meng Tian, and Han Fei and other senior officials of Liusha were all staying at Fushi under normal circumstances.
Under normal circumstances, Han Fei should also be present when Meng Tian and Fu Su meet.
Meng Tian didn't need to think of ways to persuade Fusu to suppress Han Fei, he could just do it face to face.
But after the destruction of Xiaoshengxian Village, Han Fei became much more "introverted" in the eyes of outsiders.
He didn't leave the house or step outside the door all day long, and handled all matters in his own little house.
As the nominal and de facto executive deputy leader of Liusha, although he has many things to worry about, he arranges them for the capable men under him to handle them, and he mainly controls the general direction.
An ordinary house can accommodate less than ten people.
Meng Tian left the eldest son's house, walked down a street, turned two corners, and then got into Han Fei's house.
There is no open post in his house, only a hidden sentry, and the person on duty must know Meng Tian, and no one dares to stop him.
Upon entering the house, Meng Tian saw Han Fei - he was drinking tea alone in the yard.
After the disappearance of Little Saint Xian Manor, no one saw Han Fei drinking anymore, and they all drank tea instead of wine.
But he didn't quit drinking, he just replaced the wine with tea, and then he was 'alcoholic' all day long...or rather 'tea-addicted', and he drank even more ferociously than before.
It's hard to tell what he did, but others didn't dare to ask.
Involving Xiaoshengxian Manor was a direct thorn in Han Fei's heart. Except for Gu Xun and a few others, no one dared to mention it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anyway, drinking more water won’t do much harm to your health, just going to the toilet more often.
"Mr. Han." Meng Tian said hello first, interrupting Han Fei's 'drinking'.
Han Fei put down his teacup and looked at Meng Tian with some surprise, "General Meng? Why did Yaxing come to see me today?"
He and Meng Tian rarely communicate in private beyond Fusu.
It's not to avoid suspicion or anything, it's just simply unnecessary.
Business affairs rarely require the two of them to meet frequently, and their personal relationship is average.
Meng Tian didn't waste any time and went straight to the point, "In the spring of next year, His Majesty the Emperor will come to the North for inspection. Should we prepare early?"
"Oh, so that's what happened." Han Fei nodded suddenly, and then asked, "What do you think, Your Highness?"
Meng Tian sighed softly and replied, "Your Highness feels that there is no need to make too many preparations. He only plans to free up his mansion and renovate it to welcome the emperor."
Han Fei burst into laughter and nodded repeatedly, "Haha... it should be like this, it should be like this!"
Liusha's sphere of influence is very wide, including Shangjun, Yanmen, Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Taiyuan, and Daijun. It also has certain influence in Beidi, Hedong, Shangdang, and Handan counties, and even Shanggu Yuyang.
There is also radiation in Jiliao area.
According to Fusu's wishes, Shangjun finally allowed a young master's mansion to be prepared for the emperor. It was considered as a son fulfilling his filial piety to his father. Other counties didn't even need this preparation. They could just arrange a house at random.
Anyway, Ying Zheng can stay in the carriage if he can't get used to it.
The current situation is difficult, so don't waste people and money on things like the emperor's patrol - he went on patrol just to stabilize his rule, and Fusu could be regarded as helping his father in one step.
Meng Tian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few times when he saw Han Fei's behavior of not taking it too seriously. He quickly calmed down and asked, "Mr. Han, do you think it is necessary to take any additional measures?"
Han Fei smiled and asked, "What is General Meng referring to?"
"For example, Mr. Han's many actions in recent days."
"Have all the supplies been properly disposed of?"
"Oh!" Han Fei nodded clearly, "Those things... General Meng, don't worry too much, I already have a clue."
"Didn't the emperor only go on tour in the spring? It will take at least four or five months for him to arrive in the north. There is plenty of time."
Meng Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked very carefully, "Meng, I would like to take the liberty of telling Mr. Han how to deal with it."
"Leave it to someone else." Han Fei replied bluntly without hiding anything.
Then, before Meng Tian could ask further questions, he took the initiative and said, "As for who it will be handed over to, General Meng doesn't have to worry. I promise that quicksand will not be involved."
"Mr. Han's words are serious." Meng Tian said a kind word first, and then didn't bother too much, "Mr. Han, if there is something that Meng is busy with, just speak up."
"I won't bother you any more today and I'll say goodbye!"
"General Meng, walk slowly."
Han Fei smiled, clasped his hands and bowed, sent Meng Tian away, then sat back down and continued to drink.
At this point in time, the only person who could take over the batch of sensitive materials he had on hand was the farmer.
Although the rebellion is still in limbo, the Zhu family has not let go, and Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang are also clinging to Tian Guang's matter, but this matter has already been accomplished for Liusha.
The boss of the farm is only a young boy, how could it not step into the pit?
Even if Chen Sheng of the Zhu family disagrees with this plan in the end, Ayan alone can still push the peasant family to rebel, but the subsequent repercussions will be more serious.
But...who cares?
Neither Han Fei nor Ayan cared about how many farmers would die or be injured.
It's not that they are cold-blooded, but that the farmers are destined to be unable to survive alone in this troubled world.
The worse the situation in the empire worsens, the more conspicuous the peasant family with one hundred thousand disciples will become, and the more Ying Zheng cannot tolerate this largest gang in the world.
Take the initiative and attack the empire first, or be passive and then fight back in self-defense.
These two possibilities are the only two ways out for farmers in the future.
It is difficult to say which road is better and more suitable for farmers, but they are certainly not easy to walk, and the sacrifices of farmers' disciples are inevitable.
Han Fei and Ayan just made a choice directly for the farmer - as the farmer's hero, this is also Ayan's legal right.
Of course, dumping things to farmers doesn’t mean everything is foolproof.
Ying Zheng's northern inspection tour will only pass through the west side of Dongjun at most, and the farm headquarters is at the easternmost side of Dongjun.
There is nothing wrong with giving things to farmers to hide, but it's hard to say how much trouble this will cause.
Han Fei has enough control over Liusha. Even if Beidi is about to be shaken by him, the movement he can detect in Xianyang is very limited.
This is not the case with farmers.
Not only are the peasant disciples themselves very disorganized, which can easily lead to the leakage of information, but there are also a lot of spies inside the peasant family - even though the peasant hero has become the "own man" of the peasant family, Zhao Gao has not given up infiltrating the peasant family.
After all, this ‘own person’ is not trustworthy enough in his opinion.
After Ayan took over the farm, he has been investigating the spies and spies involved in the trap, but it is difficult to completely clear out such a large farm in a short period of time.
She can only make sure the person she uses is reliable enough.
But eating the supplies Han Fei had on hand required too many people, so exposure was inevitable.
By then, Zhao Gao will most likely be aware of the connection between her and Quicksand - not all forces can obtain such a large batch of sensitive materials.
The emperor couldn't hide it and exposed Ayan's identity. For Liusha, it was a loss of both his wife and his army, and the risk was very high.
But Han Fei still chose this method.
It's not that he has any way to make up for the shortcomings of this plan, but he has no intention of making up for it.
There is never a perfect solution in the world. No matter how smart the wise man is, he can only take one step at a time, set a tone and then check for omissions and fill in the gaps.
Although this plan has many loopholes, it is not completely foolproof. As long as he and Ayan are prepared, the chance of successfully hiding the truth is not low.
Of course, what's more important is... Han Fei is somewhat showing off.
Chen Sheng and Wu Kuang were holding back their anger towards Luo Sheng and the Empire, thinking only of rebelling against Te Niang.
Han Fei was even worse than them.
He really wanted to rebel directly with quicksand regardless, and fight the empire with real swords and guns.
However, on the one hand, the conditions are not mature, and Liusha is not yet able to compete head-on with the current empire. On the other hand, he is also concerned about the thoughts of Gu Xun and Fusu, and he cannot act so recklessly.
But if Ying Zheng takes the initiative to come to the North, it will be another situation.
As long as Ying Zheng dares to step into the North, Han Fei is 90% sure that he will be buried here.
Once Ying Zheng dies, the empire's already shaky situation will collapse instantly, and it will no longer be able to pose a threat to Quicksand.
As for the attitudes of Gu Xun and Fusu... Han Fei would certainly not take the initiative to stir up trouble, but if Ying Zheng decided to attack them, Liusha would never fail to fight back.
In this way, Han Fei had an explanation from Gu Xun.
And Fusu... To be honest, Han Fei didn't really care.
He can guarantee that Ying Zheng's throne will be passed on to Fusu, which is worthy of his 'eldest nephew'.
He couldn't care about anything else.
Difficulty in everything is normal.
All in all, Han Fei's response plan to Ying Zheng's northern inspection tour was to 'do his best and obey fate'.
He will never deliberately provoke Ying Zheng to intensify conflicts, and will try his best to cover up the abnormalities in the North. However, if Ying Zheng senses something is wrong and intends to rectify the North, he will not hesitate to take action.
In comparison, as Han Fei's partner, Ayan is more conservative - not because he is afraid of something happening, but because he is worried about his father's thoughts.
