Because the country is governed by strict laws, punishments must be imposed on people with caution and not to be abused.

This kind of thinking of the rulers actually made the political struggle between Shu and Han far gentler than that between Wei and Wu, with very little bloodshed.

This was a rare thought in ancient times.

Ruling the country by law while being able to exercise self-restraint and refrain from abusing punishments is an improvement for opponents of the same era.

Feng Duhu pondered for a while, then looked at Jiang Wan and asked humbly:

"In Mr. Jiang's opinion, what should we do about this general amnesty?"

Jiang Wan had figured out Feng Duhu's attitude at this time, and finally stopped hiding his views:

"Wan's wisdom is far inferior to that of the Prime Minister, so he dare not lightly change the Prime Minister's legacy. Therefore, according to Wan's opinion, it is better not to grant amnesty."

"However, Wan believes that those who have violated the law should be carefully screened and reviewed to prevent anyone from misusing the criminal law."

Feng Duhu nodded: "That makes sense."

Seeing that Feng Duhu was so easy to talk to, Jiang Wan was overjoyed and quickly said while the iron was hot:

"Yang Min, the governor of the country, was convicted in Hanzhong and imprisoned. Before he was sentenced, his Majesty moved the capital to Chang'an. Now the officials of Hanzhong sent people to ask how to deal with this person."

"This person has quite a reputation and is considered diligent in his work. However, he has a somewhat upright temperament. He has offended many people in the past, so now some people want to commit serious crimes."

"Wan is deeply concerned that this action is a violation of the country's laws. According to Wan's opinion, people should be sent to Hanzhong as soon as possible to punish Yang Min according to the law."

"This not only shows that the court cannot grant amnesty, but also prevents some people from thinking that after the prime minister passes away, the court will change the national and French policies that the prime minister set during his lifetime."

As the great housekeeper of the Han Dynasty, especially when he stayed in Jincheng in the past few years, Jiang Wan knew very well:

Certain people or forces in the Han Dynasty have never stopped trying to get the court to loosen the noose around their necks.

Deliberately increasing the criminal law in the name of strict law is another attempt:

Deliberately destroying court decrees and turning the law into a piece of paper will only make the law unobservable in the end.

Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, nothing more than that.

Even if it seems like a small move or policy, you have to be careful and consider the consequences.

Feng Duhu didn't think as much as Jiang Wan. When he heard "Supervisor Yang Min", he looked at Jiang Wan in surprise:

"If I remember correctly, after the prime minister left, Duke Jiang went to Hanzhong to receive the chancellery. Did Yang Min slander Duke Jiang?"

Before the prime minister died of illness, he entrusted foreign affairs to Feng Duhu and entrusted domestic affairs to Jiang Wan.

Feng Duhu made great achievements in battle, but some people like Yang Yi were still dissatisfied and even became angry and turned into thieves.

Jiang Wan had always stayed at the rear in place of the Prime Minister, preparing food and clothing for the army ahead.

After the prime minister passed away, he was actually able to take over the prime minister's place in handling national government affairs and became the de facto top official in the civil service.

Naturally, some people will be dissatisfied.

Yang Min, the supervisor of the peasants, once publicly said that Jiang Wan was "a hesitant in his work, and his integrity is not as good as that of his predecessors."

It means that you are confused and not as good as your predecessor.

It's roughly equivalent to pointing your nose at someone and swearing.

If it were someone cruel and ruthless, something might happen.

Fortunately, Jiang Wan is a humble gentleman.

At this time, I heard Feng Duhu talking about this matter, but saw him smiling calmly:

"Wan has heard Yang Min's words for a long time, but Wan believes that what this person said is sincerely true."

"Otherwise, wouldn't Wan dare to compare himself to the prime minister? It would be normal if he couldn't compare."

When Feng Duhu heard this and looked at Jiang Wan's calm and composed appearance, he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

What a blessing it is to work with such gentlemen.

With this in mind, Feng Duhu couldn't help but say a fair word for Jiang Wan:

"Having said that, this person goes too far to say that Mr. Jiang is confused."

Jiang Wan still smiled nonchalantly and said:

"Otherwise, since Wan is not as good as the Prime Minister, his handling of political affairs will naturally be far less clever than when the Prime Minister was there. If he handles political affairs not wisely, wouldn't it be considered stupid?"

After saying this, the two looked at each other and laughed.

The two big shots in the DPRK and China have reached a consensus. Unless the emperor objects, otherwise, the outcome of the DPRK discussion is basically determined.

Will the emperor object?

Jiang Shangshu Ling glanced at Feng Zhongduhu, he was very sure: no.

Feng Duhu didn't know what Jiang Wan was thinking, or for him, he believed in Jiang Wan's ability to govern and that Jiang Wan could handle the amnesty matter.

The two reached an agreement on amnesty, but Feng Duhu unexpectedly mentioned another matter:

"Speaking of which, I remember that your young master has been staying in Hanzhong all these years, right?"

When Feng Duhu first established the Modao Team, there were some twists and turns.

For example, Hanzhong Metallurgical Industry Co., Ltd., which is responsible for the production of Modao, once had a quality accident.

During this period, Jiang Wan’s son Jiang Bin was involved.

Feng Duhu, who was the chief historian of Yuexun at that time, was furious and wrote a letter to hold him accountable.

As a result, Jiang Bin took off his robe, went to the furnace to forge it himself, and completed the Mo Dao.

Coupled with the friendship between Jiang Wan and Feng Duhu, this matter was revealed.

However, being dragged down by this matter, ahem, it is also possible that King Feng Gui has become more and more powerful in recent years, and no one is willing to take the risk of offending someone Feng for Jiang Bin.

So Jiang Bin has been staying at Hanzhongye since then.

Of course, staying in Hanzhongye is not a bad thing.

Over the years, the Han Dynasty conquered the south, the north, the east and the west.

Hanzhongye has always been responsible for forging weapons and armor for the army, and has become the de facto largest arsenal.

At the same time, it has become a department with real power that cannot be ignored.

However, as the emperor moved the capital to Chang'an, a veritable arsenal was naturally established in Chang'an City, and Hanzhong Metallurgical's status would definitely continue to decline.

If Jiang Bin continues to stay at Hanzhongye, he may be marginalized.

It's just that although Jiang Wan is a minister, his status and reputation are far inferior to those of the prime minister. Who knows how many pairs of eyes are staring at him in private, and he is an honest gentleman.

The most important thing is that the predecessor, the Prime Minister, sets an example - Zhuge Qiao has been feeding mosquitoes in Nanzhong for many years.

Favoritism?

nonexistent.

Given his current situation, it is naturally impossible to promote his son.

Not only cannot they be promoted, but they must also be careful to avoid suspicion.

Unexpectedly, he wanted to avoid suspicion, but Feng Duhu took the initiative to bring it up.

Jiang Wan, who had always been calm, didn't know what Feng Duhu meant. He hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "That's right."

At that time, Feng Duhu did not investigate his son's mistakes in depth. Jiang Wan knew that the other party was doing it for his own sake.

Otherwise, if the husband of the Sui family and the Liu family, who are not regarded as relatives of the emperor, would have been tortured to the point of death?

Not to mention the battle at Jieting, the Mo Dao team showed great brilliance and turned around the situation of the Northern Expedition to Longyou that almost failed. It became more and more obvious that his son's fault in the Mo Dao incident was huge.

Afterwards, it was rare for Dalang to be able to stay in Hanzhongye safe and sound.

Otherwise, if the quality of Mo Dao is not up to standard and a lot of damage occurs in the street pavilion, resulting in a failure in this battle, it is hard to say what Dalang will end up with in the end.

Feng Duhu saw Jiang Wan's expression and knew what he was thinking, so he asked tentatively:

"My son has been diligent in his work over the years and has accumulated a lot of merit. Mr. Jiang has never thought of training him?"

Jiang Wan heard this and immediately shook his head:

"A dog has little talent and little virtue. I just hope that he can have enough food and clothing."

Feng Duhu seemed to have expected Jiang Wan to be like this, and smiled slightly:

"I'm afraid Mr. Jiang will not get what he wants! I think your son is loyal and diligent, and has the demeanor of a gentleman, just like Mr. Jiang."

"As the saying goes, gold buried in sand cannot hide its glory. Now is the critical moment for the rise of the Han Dynasty, and the court is hungry for talents."

"If Mr. Jiang is not willing to promote talents and avoid relatives, then I will have to go beyond his servants and promote talents for the country."

Jiang Wan was shocked: "Zhongdu Protector, what do you mean?"

Feng Duhu put away his joking expression, knocked on the table, and said seriously, "The east side of the river is considered an important county in the Central Plains."

"Jiang Boyue, the general who conquered the east, is very keen on military affairs and must focus on guarding against the army of Wei thieves to the east."

"Although Shi Bao, the general of Dian Nong and his lieutenant, has the ability to manage the country, he lacks detailed skills."
