On this day, after Lin Ruzhi finished processing the official documents, he dragged back to the mansion with heavy steps. The people from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War were arranged to live in the best inn in the southwest. He did not live in the original Li Shanzhao's mansion, and he chose an additional house.

Compared to the original magistrate's residence, his house was much quieter, which was also a clear line from the past. Lin Ruzhi entered the study and stretched out his arms. When the door rang, he thought it was his wife coming in to deliver tea. When he looked up, his face changed slightly: "You!"

The door of the study room was closed immediately, and the visitor looked at him with a calm expression. Lin Ruzhi felt that blood was rushing toward his head. At this time, how dare they come and how dare they come!

"You are so crazy!" Lin Ruzhi's face looked extremely ugly: "How dare you come to find me?"

The visitor just sat down quietly and said calmly: "The current situation of the prefect Lin is just to give the prefect more choices. Now it seems that we are too worried and the prefect has successfully passed this level."

"Your Majesty is just wise, and not to mention that the map is clearly defined there, and there is no controversy about this." Lin Ruzhi said stubbornly: "What's more, what's the interaction between me and you? I've seen it twice, and the second time I have to surrender due to the situation."

"With so many people testifying at the scene, why are I afraid? Don't you think I will take care of myself!" Lin Ruzhi put on an airs as an official: "If you don't leave quickly, I will definitely capture you."

"Oh, catch me?" Long Qi couldn't help but smile: "Sir, how did I enter your mansion, and how did I avoid your mansion soldiers. Forgive me for being arrogant. The people in your mansion are not enough for me to fight."

"You..." Lin Ruzhi said speechlessly: "What do you want?"

"I have something to know. I am not able to keep myself alone. My master asked me to tell you that the missing people in the southwest did not go to other places to make a living, but instead defected to my Da Kun and became the Da Kun's people."

Lin Ruzhi's brain thumped and his butt couldn't help but leave the chair. It was a customary thing for the people in the southwest to go out to make a living, but if they defect to Da Kun, this nature would be serious. As the common people's parents, he must be responsible!

"You are really, really, really, really my nemesis!" Lin Ruzhi cursed with anger: "I have seen people stealing money, you actually steal people's people!"

"But Master knows how happy they are in Da Kun?" Long Qi said disapprovingly: "In the past, there were no books to read, no clothes to wear, and no food to eat in the southwest, but they had their own business, their own houses, and even more books to read."

"Now they have a choice, they will not return to Dongyue to be the people of Dongyue. However, Lord Lin knows how many people in the southwest have obtained the fish talisman of Da Kun? Do you want to know the number?"

Long Qi rarely smiled. Lin Ruzhi's scalp tightened and subconsciously wanted to say he didn't know, he didn't want to know!

He checked the population in the southwest and knew very well how much it had been lost. How many of it deviated from Dongyue in the middle? The numbers were unimaginable.

"Mr. Lin, this matter will be revealed sooner or later, because the population loss in the southwest continues. People who have been to Da Kun have comparisons, so naturally they will not just stay in Da Kun to enjoy the blessings. The so-called sharing of blessings will lead their fellow villagers and relatives away from the southwest."

"To be honest, the transfer of the population in the southwest has never stopped. You can imagine that in the near future, there will be an embarrassing situation where there is no one in the southwest. At that time, the adults will dare to say that they can defend the southwest and their position?"

Lin Ruzhi only felt that he had suffered some crimes. Why did he come here at the beginning? He had a lot of ambitions but could not do it.

There are pits everywhere in the southwest and loopholes everywhere. He wants to make up for it, how can he make up for it?

"You are so angry. Do you really think you can absorb all the people in the southwest?" Lin Ruzhi said unbearable to admit defeat and asked back: "Although the population in the southwest is not large, the number is also large. Can you really empty my southwest?"

"If you don't have a year, then two years, three years, and if you don't have a year, then five years. I once told my Majesty that Yugong moved mountains. The mountains can be moved, let alone poor people who want to find a way out. Will they not be moved if a broad road is placed in front of you?"

Long Qi's words were heard, and Lin Ruzhi tightened his fingers and dared to do whatever he wanted on the land of Dongyue. He also heard from the Minister of Works that Da Kun sent envoys over and was also granted the title of special envoy.

He couldn't find out what he had from the two officials. He got too much information and could not judge His Majesty's true thoughts about Da Kun.

But Da Kun reached out his hand to the southwest. What should I do?

"The salt used in the southwest is also produced by Dakun, can you tell me?" Long Qi sighed: "But the sea area in the southwest is exposed, and it will definitely build its own salt pond next. After the salt production in the southwest can help a lot."

The Minister of Works has long mentioned this point. It can not only make salt, but also promote the fishery. It is a great thing for the southwest, but it is even more difficult to start from scratch.

The people in the southwest are not good at fishing, and they have to go from scratch. Lin Ruzhi's pressure can be imagined. Qin Feng knew this and would not be afraid to raise this point in front of him. "But how long will it take for Lord Lin to lead the southwest to get rid of poverty?"

Lin Ruzhi was as stupid as a wooden chicken. Long Qi didn't agree with this and put a letter in front of Lin Ruzhi: "Mr. Lin's ancestors used to engage in fishery production in the southeast, but it happened a long time ago, right?"

"You have checked me and naturally know everything. It's completely reasonable to know these things." Lin Ruzhi said: "But that was a matter of three generations ago. Later, I chose to take the imperial examination and become an official. I know nothing about fishery..."

Lin Ruzhi only realized that he had fallen into the trap of the other party. He did not understand fishery. No one in the southwest understands fishery. So what if he has marine resources? How can he be in the southwest? The population is rapidly lost, the transportation is inconvenient, and there is no experience in marine development.

Those with experience in the Southeast naturally have no place for them if they come here?

The unexpected discovery of the sea area has no bonus to it. The "old disease" in the southwest and the population loss that is happening now will become a deadly rope. If you don't have his life, it will only make his future bleak.

Lin Ruzhi's face suddenly changed, and his attitude towards Long Qi was not as tough and confrontational as before. He sat down in disappointment.

The so-called ambitions are dying before they are fulfilled. After struggling for so long, the achievements they have made are limited, but there are many crises he encountered. As he thought about it, he suddenly sneered: "You think I am about to lose my protection in the southwest and have no way out."

"That's the truth." Long Qi said: "Mr. Lin, please be more open-minded."
