"Your Highness is high-minded, and your subordinates and clansmen have received it. But there is no need to upset anyone about this matter, we will endure it! Zheng Yong was very moved when he heard it, but he didn't believe that His Highness would stand up for his 'untouchables' and offend those good people.

"Hehe, the king won't give money for this meal!" Zhao Yu wiped his mouth and said.

"Wherever Your Highness talks, it's all something you catch yourself, where do you dare to ask for Your Highness's money, and besides, don't let the world laugh at my stinginess!" Zheng Yong said with a little unhappiness.

"Okay, but you can't eat it in vain." Zhao Yu called Wang De and said, "Since then, the daily fresh fish in the palace has been supplied by his family, and it will be settled at the market price, but it can't make him earn more, and our family's money is also rich." ”

"Yes, little one!" Wang De replied, and then arched his hand at Zheng Yong and said, "General Zheng, I will trouble your family in the future." ”

"Your Highness, this ......" Zheng Yong hurriedly returned the salute and looked at His Highness again.

"You sell it and I buy it, who dares to fart and let him go to the Shuai Mansion to find this king's theory!" Zhao Yu waved his hand to prevent him from saying more, and turned his face to Yingjie and said solemnly, "Fu Shuai, you see that the price of meat is soaring now, and the money for food is too much." Officers and men work very hard every day in training and patrolling, how can they replenish their physical strength without meat? ”

"This is easy to say, as long as His Highness gives the total secretary a paper document and asks them to issue additional documents as appropriate." Ying Jie Yan stroked his beard and said, but he didn't go up.

"This king calculates that each person will increase the amount of money every month, which is 12 guan per year, and the existing officers and soldiers of the Shuaifu army will need 72 guan a year, and even if it is halved, it will be 360,000 guan." Zhao Hao was not in a hurry, and pretended to calculate, "This money still needs to be raised by Fu Shuai, as long as the consistent money is charged for each ding, it will be about the same, and the difference will be subsidized by the General Bureau?" ”

"Your Highness, the Shuai Mansion ordered a reduction in miscellaneous taxes a month ago, and this will be increased again, I'm afraid it will be discredited to the people, it's not appropriate, right?" Ying Jieyan also said in an official tone.

"Since Fu Shuai thinks it's inappropriate, then it's only a reduction in salary, and the officers and soldiers are the hardest, so the king takes the lead, and the chief officers of each department all come up with three months' salaries, and it is estimated that it is about the same." Zhao Yu thought about it and said.

"This ...... Then according to His Highness's plan, how about replacing pork and mutton with fresh fish? "Ying Jieyan was dumbfounded, His Royal Highness's trick is too ruthless, and everyone doesn't have a place to get money than the prince. Now it's not like in the past, there are some ways to get money privately, but now they all rely on Yulu to maintain the family's expenses, and they don't pay it for three months, and the people under it have to go to their own homes to ask for food!

"Haha......"

"Alas!" Looking at His Royal Highness who was smiling proudly, Ying Jieyan had a headache, "Zheng Yong, if you let your clan supply the whole army with fresh fish, can you do it?" ”

"Ah......h

"Ah what, Fu Shuai gave you such a big deal, thank you soon!" Zhao Yu kicked Zheng Yong, who was still in a daze, and said.

"Thank you Fu Shuai, the subordinate clansmen can still catch tens of thousands of catties of fish a day!" Zheng Yong hurriedly saluted.

"Don't thank the old man, let's thank your Royal Highness!" Ying Jieyan waved his hand angrily, this is obviously His Royal Highness using public money to buy people's hearts, pretending to be public and private, but people can't find fault.

"You don't have to thank me first, wait for me to explain the conditions, and see if you can do it." Zhao Yu waved his hand to stop Zheng Yongdao, who was about to give a salute.

"Your Highness, just command!" Zheng Yong knew that this was the moment to change the fate of the Tan people, and he had to do it even if he took his life.

"Okay." Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "First, the fresh fish supplied to the armies shall not be higher than the market price, but it cannot be traded at a loss, so it will be calculated according to eighty percent of the market price; Both, the fish should be fresh, not shoddy, but also sufficient; Thirdly, the armies are scattered throughout the island, and you must ensure that they are delivered on time and in quantity; Fourth, you must promise not to bribe the relevant personnel, otherwise the king can disqualify you from supplying.

"Your Highness, rest assured, we can do all these things. Nowadays, there are camps of our Tan people in various ports, and they can deliver goods nearby. I'm just worried......" Zheng Yong assured, but he hesitated but didn't say anything.

"Hmph, who dares to stop the military supplies you have done, and if you delay the matter and cut him, this king will call the shots for you!" Zhao Hao snorted coldly and said murderously.

"Thank Your Highness for the kindness of my whole clan, and the Tan clan will never forget each other!" Zheng Yong listened to the rumbling and kneeling down, and several other elders of the clan also knelt down and kowtowed.

"It's a small thing, it doesn't have to be like this!" Zhao Hao hurriedly picked them up and said, "This king has seen that the sea is ruthless, and in the near future, he will order Yousi to choose a place near the sea for you to settle ashore and open the bazaar." With income, you can also hire a tutor to let the children read and write, and win fame in the future. ”

"Your Highness is so gracious, how can I repay it?" Zheng Yong and several other elders of the clan were already in tears when they heard this, His Highness was tantamount to getting rid of their thousands of years of untouchable names, and completely changed the fate of their descendants.

"Well, there's something I want you to help with." Zhao Yu listened and thought about it.

"Your Highness commands, we will never give up!"

"Recently, the war is urgent, and the enemy may send troops across the sea to attack. Your patriarch is traveling on the sea, if you find that there are enemy ships passing by, can you preemptively warn and let our army be prepared! Zhao said that although the navy sent ships back and forth to inspect the strait, and there were lookout posts set up along the coast, there were always blind spots. The Tanka have thousands of fishing boats all over the sea, and they can always monitor the sea around Qiongzhou, and with them providing early warning, it is equivalent to setting up thousands of surveillance posts.

"Qiongzhou is also the place where my Tan clan lives, how can foreign races be allowed to invade, this is also the duty of my clan, although Your Highness can rest assured, if there is an enemy ship crossing the sea, it will be the first to warn!" Zheng Yong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, His Royal Highness's request was just such a thing, it could be described as a gesture, and he immediately responded to it.

"Okay, you can tell the clansmen that if it is successful at this time, this king will definitely have a heavy reward, and he will not be stingy!" Zhao Yu was overjoyed and said that with their help, not only to monitor the enemy's navy, but also to clear pirates and track smuggling ships in the future, it can become a great help for himself. While he was happy, he gave Zheng Yong another idea. They are asked to make dried fish, scallops and other dried goods that are easy to preserve, such as dried fish and seafood. Not only can it be sold to merchants, but it can also be supplied to the army as food when going to sea to fight. In this way, it can not only solve the livelihood of some people after landing, but also increase some income.

Ying Jieyan, who was listening to it on the side, was full of emotion, His Royal Highness not only ate a seafood feast for nothing today, but also subdued the hearts of the Tan people, so that the Shuai Mansion got tens of thousands of water elite soldiers out of thin air. And the price paid was just a promise, but it didn't cost a penny more, and the deal was very profitable. If anyone is unfortunate enough to offend him, it is really better to be killed by His Highness's calculations as soon as possible...... (To be continued.) )
