"Shi Yao, please stay close to the front." Wang Dao stood up and said, "All officials in the court are honest. Even if someone is confused for a moment, I still have a strategy."

"Oh? What's the strategy?" Lu Wan asked.

In the past, he would have never asked, because firstly he didn't care much, and secondly because he believed in Director Wang's ability. But if he cared about it, he would be confused.

The situation is very clear now.

The Nandu scholars may still have some room for surrender, but the Wudi scholars will have a hard time, unless they are willing to abandon the fields, houses and villagers passed down by their ancestors.

Since Thief Shao used the south of the Yangtze River as a bait to arouse the ambition of the wealthy people in the north, when things have come to this point, even he can't look back.

Even if Thief Shao wants to forgive the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, will the northern nobles agree? No.

Don’t those military veterans under Shao Thief want to buy property in the south of the Yangtze River? Can they agree? Definitely not.

Shao was so desperate that he could use his prestige to pardon some people, but there was no way he could pardon the entire south.

That would alienate the Shaw Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, he sold the entire Jiangdong wealthy family in order to successfully establish land in the north.

Everyone wants cultivated land, so who is going to open up wasteland when they are full? Counties such as Kuaiji, Danyang, Yixing, and Wu will definitely be robbed.

"Shi Yao is in chaos." Director Wang said, "Why don't you and I play a game?"

"Prime Minister!" Lu Wan increased his voice and said, "The overseas Chinese from Nandu are in Danyang and there are many manors in Kuaiji. How can the eggs be destroyed if the nest is overturned?"

When Director Wang heard this, he remained silent.

Just when Lu Wan was about to get impatient with waiting, he said: "General Sima Zong of the left guard and General Yu Yin of the right guard hold the keys to the gates of Tai City. I suspect that they have different ambitions and have made arrangements."

Lu Wan felt a little relieved after hearing this, and asked again: "Is the Imperial Army reliable?"

Director Wang glared at him and said, "Reliable."

In recent years, the relationship between him and Emperor Sima Rui has been somewhat subtle, a bit of a symbiotic coexistence but mutual defense.

Does the marriage in the Tian family have anything to do with the Langya Wang family? No.

Wang Daodongruo watched the fire and knew that the emperor was on guard against the Wang family in Langya controlling Jianye, so he wooed the Shan family.

The Zhuge family established Fangzhen around Jianye, which could not only protect the capital but also exert pressure on the Langya Wang family. It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.

Director Wang didn't take it seriously, but was a little emotional. No matter how close the relationship is, it can't withstand the alienation of power. This is clear proof.

But then again, in the land of Jianye, he is not afraid of anyone. The only thing worth worrying about is the unrest in people's hearts caused by the collapse of the sky. After all, the Shao thief has unified the northern land, and his momentum is really amazing.

Compared with the palace coup, Director Wang was more worried about someone on the front lines defecting to the enemy.

People’s hearts are unpredictable!

The relationship between the Nandu scholars and the Northland is very complicated. There is me among you and you among me.

The Longkang Huan family sneaked back to the north. Huan Wen actually married the princess, and Huan Yi heard that he was also promoted. This example was very bad, because it gave the gentry with the overseas surname daydreams and made their minds flexible.

Maybe no one will surrender to the enemy in the beginning, but if the battle situation becomes passive and they suffer a few more defeats, that may not be the case.

Thinking of this, he looked at Lu Wan.

Lu Wan also looked at Director Wang.

In an instant, both sides understood the other's worries.

"Please Prime Minister, please do your best to ensure the stability of Jianye." Lu Wan bowed deeply and said, "I will go and persuade the big families in Jiangdong one by one. On this occasion, we must work together to fight against the Shao thieves."
