    "Since the king has said so, I will not be polite. If I take office as the governor of Yanmen, the king must do three things from me. The first thing is that I must personally select the governor of Yanmen!"

    "Of course there is no problem with this. I wonder which general Mr. Feng prefers?"

    Since someone is asked to be the governor of Yanmen, and Yanmen Pass is at the gateway of Dai Kingdom, it is of course necessary to send Feng Jing a capable assistant.

    "How is General Guanfu?"

    Feng Jing blinked and looked at Liu Deng. It seemed that this old guy had been prepared for it!

    "I said Master Feng, you have conquered my army! It's just that the Modao Army has not been rebuilt until now. Should I send him to you now?"

    Liu Deng was really worried about Guan Fu. On the one hand, it was because Guan Fu's family and children were all in Jinyang City. On the other hand, he had been sealed off. If they sent him to Yanmen Pass, they would  It's really hard to distinguish between the two people's responsibilities.

    To put it simply, Guan Fu's status was too high, and Liu Deng was a little worried that Feng Jing, the prefect, would not be able to suppress him.

    "The king is worried that I can't suppress him? Feng Jing naturally has Feng Jing's ability. If I didn't have this ability, I wouldn't dare to speak to the king rashly!"

    Seeing Feng Jing being so confident, Liu Deng burst into laughter. It seems that this kind of unreasonable and mysterious self-confidence among scholars is a common phenomenon in ancient times.

    "If that's the case, then I agree to this matter. The recruitment of troops for the Mo Dao Army should also be completed in Yanmen. If there are still insufficient troops, they will be recruited from nearby prefectures and counties!"

    Since Feng Jing has this confidence, there is no need for Liu Deng to object anymore. Anyway, with Modao Army's record this time, no matter where they recruit troops, there will definitely be a large number of applicants.

    "Feng Jing, thank you, Your Majesty. Then let me tell you the second thing. This second thing, this time the army is stationed in Yanmen, although the treasury is empty, the people have also suffered a lot. Please forgive Yanmen."  This year¡¯s taxes!¡±

    His Yanmen governor had already begun to benefit the people before he took office. However, this time the people of Yanmen did put in a lot of effort. Liu Deng even heard that when the Huns besieged the city, the Han army lacked  For food and grass, the people would rather go hungry themselves than send food to the military camp.

    With such people, it¡¯s okay to be exempted from this year¡¯s taxes. Anyway, Yanmen is a poor place to begin with, and the actual taxes this year are not much.

    "I'm sure about this. Consider it my gift to Mr. Feng. In addition, I will give you fifty thousand shi of food and one hundred thousand gu of copper coins, and give them to Mr. Feng as well!"

    Liu Deng has already read the report from Yanmen. The entire Yanmen treasury is empty. If Feng Jing doesn't bring some money and food, I'm afraid he will have to lose his pants.

    "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty. In that case, as long as Your Majesty agrees to the last thing, I, Feng Jing, will take office today!"

    Since Liu Deng said it so boldly, Feng Jing certainly couldn't be stingy and said it straightforwardly.

    "Hahahaha, I gave you the camel and you don't need these two ears anymore. Just say it, Mr. Feng!"

    At the beginning, Liu Deng thought that Feng Jing wanted to get a guarantee from him, so that his family could have food and clothing without worries, so that he could take office with peace of mind. However, he did not expect that from beginning to end, both of Feng Jing's conditions were met.  He was thinking about the people of Yanmen and never fought for any welfare for himself. Liu Deng really admired him.

    "On this third point, Feng Jing implores the king to strictly inspect the trade with the Huns. No iron tools are allowed to flow into the Huns, and no grain of salt or tea is allowed to enter the Huns' territory!"

    When Feng Jing said this, his eyes were fixed on Liu Deng. Liu Deng really didn't expect that Feng Jing, who seemed to be new to the country, actually knew so much about the situation in Dai.

    Although there is a blood feud between the Xiongnu and Dai, there are still many businessmen secretly smuggling iron pots, salt, tea and other things into the territory of the Xiongnu. Although the land of the Huns is vast, due to the nomadic habits of the Huns,  These were necessary daily necessities. Apart from robbing them from everywhere, the rest was secretly traded with the Han people.

    After all, both humans and animals need salt. If there is a long-term lack of salt, human physique will decline on a large scale. Even the Huns are mortal. It can be said that those secret traders directly monopolized the Huns for nearly five years.  A complete supply of table salt.

    Moreover, many of these people are actually official spies of the Dai Kingdom. For example, this time, the news of the Huns' southern invasion was reported a month ago.They learned.

    "Mr. Feng, you need to think clearly. If you really want to do this, I'm afraid the Huns will invade the south more frequently and the pressure on you will be even greater!"

    Liu Deng did not expect that Feng Jing would make this request. After cutting off the supply of these daily necessities, in order to obtain necessary living supplies, the Huns would probably have to plunder the Han Dynasty more frequently. The land of the Yan Dynasty was naturally the first to bear the brunt.  !

    "Your Majesty, I also know that doing this will indeed bring you a lot of trouble, but I believe that General Guanfu will not be afraid of too many military merits from these Huns!"

    After talking for a long time, it turned out that they were waiting for him here. Liu Deng couldn't stop laughing. If he calculated the time, it was almost November. From this winter to next year's autumn invasion of the Huns, there would be nearly a month.  In two years, with the speed at which Modao's army is forming, as long as it can recruit 5,000 to 10,000 men this winter, when the Huns come, I'm afraid they can only look at the city and sigh.

    "Hahahaha, I didn't expect that this king is not as thorough as Mr. Feng, but I can't completely agree with you on this matter. After all, we also need to understand the Huns, but I will seriously control the amount of materials flowing into the Huns, and reduce it than before.  How about 70%?¡±

    Liu Deng hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Feng Jing. This was the limit of what he could do. After all, if all those merchants were banned, Liu Deng would lose his eyes in the Xiongnu territory.

    He was playing a big game of chess, but he never told anyone about it. Ever since the invention of the sand table, Liu Deng had already started to prepare. Liu Deng spent a lot of effort on exploring the territory of the Xiongnu.

    It would be a pity if we give up halfway now.

    "The king is interested! That's right, Feng Jing Meng Lang, 70% success, 70% success, thank you very much, the king, Feng Jing will set out tonight, please deliver the things that the king promised me as soon as possible!"

    After Feng Jing finished speaking, he looked at Liu Deng seriously, and then bowed to the ground. This was considered farewell.
