"Didn't you say that he is a good knife?" Sun Quan said indifferently: "You come and get the handle!"

"Your Majesty, Yang Xiu is not only a good knife, but also a double-edged knife. If I hold the handle, it may hurt me!" Zhuge Jin said modestly.

"Zhuge Ziyu, stop pretending!"

Sun Quan gave him a squinting look: "I guess he, Yang Xiu, has come under your command, and you will wake up from your sleep. In this world, those who can recognize others are not smart people, but those who can recognize themselves are considered first-class smart. You know your own shortcomings, you have strategies, but you lack the ability to act, and if you add Yang Xiu, you will be even more powerful!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhuge Jin sneered for a while, and said a little compliment: "Your Majesty is wise, with a clear eye!"

"roll!"

Sun Quan gave him an angry look.

"Your Majesty, there is another cryptic request from the imperial court, especially the Ministry of Punishment. They want to know whether His Majesty is willing to continue the investigation, or whether this assassination case should be limited to Zhang Lu. I hope His Majesty will give you an answer so that they can do a good job." Prepare!"

When Zhuge Jin said this, his face was serious.

If this matter ends here, it will be done directly with Zhang Lu, and then the case will be closed. At least in the eyes of the public, this matter will be closed.

If the investigation continues, the court must be prepared to uproot the old ministers of Cao Wei.

Different choices, different results.

At this time, the imperial court was also forced to be in a position of inconsistency, unable to come up with an idea that had the best of both worlds.

It can only let Sun Quan's idea.

"It's too early to say this now!"

Sun Quan's pair of tiger eyes flickered coldly: "Wait a minute, I must know the attitude of some people!"

"promise!"

Zhuge Jin nodded.

********************

Five days later, Chang'an City began to regain its calm and activity, and the tense atmosphere gradually disappeared. Under the propaganda of the Governor's Mansion, the people began to leave their homes again.

At this time, Guo Jia hurried back from Yingchuan.

Naturally, the first time he returned to Chang'an was to meet Sun Quan.

At this time, Sun Quan was roasting sweet potatoes.

This is a new variety of food sweet potato grown in Yongzhou, the latest drama project promoted by the Department of Agriculture in the past two years, and it is a magic weapon to solve the hunger problem of the people.

"Haven't eaten it for many years, it smells really good!"

Sun Quan didn't have the image of a monarch at all. He squatted in a palace garden and picked out the roasted sweet potatoes in front of the fire.

"Your Majesty, please see Guo Jia!"

"Let him in!"

Sun Quan didn't even look back, he just focused on competing with the roasted sweet potatoes.

After Guo Jia walked in, he saluted and didn't disturb Sun Quan's mood unwisely, but just stood quietly by the side, waiting peacefully.

"Feng Xiao, come and try it too!" Sun Quan raised his head, glanced at him, and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Guo Jia smelled the fragrance, glanced at it, and said quickly, "Sweet potato?"

"That's right, the sweet potatoes planted in Yongzhou this year, whether the Department of Agriculture can solve the food and clothing problem of tens of millions of people in the Great Wu Dynasty, this thing is very important!" Sun Quan opened half of it and handed it to Guo Jia: "It tastes good, and can Fill the stomach!"

"The taste is really good, the texture is very good, glutinous, and very sweet!"

Guo Jiadao: "This should be a new type of agriculture imported and planted from overseas!"

The navy of the Great Wu court fought south and north, developed many overseas territories, and brought back many brand new crops.

"Ok!"

Sun Quan nodded: "This thing is the same as sorghum, it is easier to grow!"

"After the large-scale promotion of sorghum, the food in the north has been alleviated, but there are still many gaps. I remember that the Department of Agriculture specially promoted the planting of sweet potatoes and corn planting, but the results are not very good!" Guo Jia is in an important position, so he can understand clearly Know the size of the court.

"It's not the problem of the Department of Agriculture, it's the problem of the center of our court, it's the problem of Zhen. These years we have been too involved in war and economic development, and we have been a little negligent in agriculture. Although we have never had food and grass problems in wars, Da Wu Now there are close to 6000 million people, and there is still a long way to go if they want to enter the stage of full food and clothing!"

Sun Quan said self-criticism while gnawing sweet sweet potatoes.

The Han Dynasty of the former dynasty had about 5000 million people in the period of peace and prosperity. However, with the collapse of the former dynasty and the successive years of wars between the princes, there were tragic deaths and injuries in all parts of the Central Plains, and the population dropped sharply.

That is to say, in the past few years, the Central Plains have only begun to take a breath, and then recuperate. The population is still much smaller than that of the Han Dynasty.

However, the Great Wu court opened up territories and subdued various ethnic groups, and the population naturally increased dramatically.

The census in the first year of Tianquan covered the entire territory of the Great Wu Dynasty, not counting black households, enough to have more than 5000 million people, and this is because the first year of the Great Wu's unification of the world, some figures are not true enough, all conservative statistics .

Now that Tianquan has been in power for three years, the Wu Dynasty plus those black households and the unstated population are at least about 6000 million.

The court of Great Wu struggled to maintain the vitality of tens of millions of people. Now the court can only ensure that no one starves to death, but it is absolutely impossible to make all the people enter the stage of food and clothing.

Being hungry and being hungry are two different things.

"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the imperial court will have to focus on the Roman Empire, and will not be able to allocate power to develop agriculture!" Guo Jia said in a low voice.

"Attacking Rome is a matter for the Military Aircraft Department, what should the cabinet do, and what else has to be done!"

Sun Quan said lightly.

After eating a round of roasted sweet potatoes in the palace garden, the two clapped their hands and returned to the Jiaofang Palace.

They had a tacit understanding, the journey was very quiet, Guo Jia didn't say anything, and Sun Quan didn't ask.

Guo Jia didn't think about what to say, but Sun Quan was waiting for Guo Jia's initiative to report.

In the pepper room hall.

Sun Quan was sitting on the bamboo mat, sipping tea leisurely.

Guo Jia stood by the side and thought for a long time before he said quietly: "Your Majesty, I have already investigated your assassination in Chang'an City. The mastermind is Cao Zhang. The Cao family is at fault for this matter, but the crime cannot be punished." The whole family, please be merciful, Your Majesty!"

"When did I say to kill the whole family?"
