Zhao Yu followed the sound and saw a few people walking out of the crowd, the first one was a middle-aged scribe in his fifties, dusty, with a scarf wrapped around his head, a coat of clothes, a pair of straw sandals on his feet, and mud spots on his trousers. He was followed by several strong men leading horses and carrying long knives on their backs, apparently his retinue.

"Xiaguan Guangnan East Road system envoy Zhang Zhensun to see His Royal Highness!" The scribe took a few steps to the front of the stairs and bowed.

"Oh, you're a Zhang Zhie?" Yesterday he also said that it would take him a few days to arrive, but he didn't expect to appear in front of him in a blink of an eye, Zhao Yu asked uncertainly.

"This is the seal of the lower official, please check it with Your Highness!" Zhang Zhensun saw that His Royal Highness was suspicious, and it was not strange to think that everyone did not know each other, so he untied a package from the waist of an attendant, took out a box and held it and said.

"Sir, right?" Ni Liang went down and took it and handed it to Zhao Yu, where did he know him, and he handed it to Ying Jie for a strict inspection.

"Your Highness, exactly!" Ying Jieyan nodded after looking at it carefully.

"Lord Zhang didn't report when he arrived, this king didn't have time to prepare a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, it's really a sin!" This side was confirmed, and Zhao Yu immediately greeted him and said with a smile.

"Your Highness is polite, the officials came without telling you, and I hope that Your Highness will atone for your sins!" Zhang Zhensun hurriedly returned the courtesy.

"Your Highness, this is not the place to speak, let's invite Master Zhang into the mansion to talk!" Ying Jieyan followed down and spoke.

"Lord Zhang, please!" Zhao Yu introduced several bigwigs of the Shuai Mansion to him, and everyone said after greeting each other.

"Your Highness, there are still many people here, let's deal with official business first!" Zhang Zhensun pointed to the squires who were at a loss under the stairs and said with a smile.

"This king is really confused, but Master Zhang is the parent official here, so please deal with it!" Zhao Yu smiled and patted his head.

"Eh, the lower official has just arrived, and I don't understand the inside story, so I'm still bothering Your Highness!" These people are all rushing down to His Royal Highness, they are polite, how dare Zhang Zhensun cross the line. Hurriedly excused himself.

"Even so, the king will do it for you." Zhao Yu was no longer polite, so many people crowded at the entrance of the yamen was not a problem, so he invited more than a dozen squires led by the elderly, along with the heads of various guilds, into the mansion......

Zhao Hao already had a plan just now, and there was a purpose for not accepting everyone's things, so he opened his mouth after everyone sat down. He first announced to everyone the damage caused by the typhoon to the city of Guangzhou, and talked about the arrangements for disaster relief in Fuzhong, but the evacuation of the army was imminent, and he hoped to donate some money and food to help the victims.

But this time, the government was not involved. Instead, they elect a fair and upright person to preside, arrange for the use of donations, bury the dead, comfort the wounded, repair destroyed houses and bridges, and rebuild collapsed dams and salt pans in order to tide over the difficulties. Afterwards, the government funded the name and surname of the donor and the amount of money engraved on the tablet and stood in front of the gate of the government as a reward.

Zhao Hao's arrangement is tantamount to using the money paid to him for the victims. They don't need to pay for it, and those donors can make a name for themselves and make a good impression on the prince. How unwilling everyone is to do such a good thing, they have expressed their willingness to serve. At that moment, in the presence of His Highness and other officials, five people were selected to handle the disaster relief matters. Of course, Zhao Hao praised them again before sending them outside the mansion, which was enough to give everyone face.

After sending these people away, Zhao Yu went back to the hall to talk to Zhang Zhensun, and then he figured out what was going on. It turned out that after Zhang Zhensun received the order, he would join Wang Daofu and Ling Tong to start collecting taxes in the name of the Establishment Division. Recruit soldiers, collect scattered stragglers, and prepare to attack Guangzhou. But at this moment, there are still Yuan troops left behind in the prefectures and counties of Guangdong. In a hurry, they couldn't muster enough strength. While preparations were underway, news came that the Shuaifu army had recovered Guangzhou.

After Zhang Zhensun discussed with Wang Daofu and Ling Tong, he believed that the people would be panicked if the enemy army lost in Guangzhou, and the enemy brigade retreated north one after another, which was a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation to recover the lost territory. So they led more than 3,000 men to attack the prefecture and march to Guangzhou, and successively recovered more than a dozen prefectures and counties. In this way, it has been fought to Huizhou, and at this moment there are 30,000 or 40,000 horses, and the envoy sent by the Shuai Fu to contact him also found this and conveyed Zhao Hao's intentions, asking them to come to Guangzhou as soon as possible.

At this time, the Cantonese army had a large family business, and the imperial court was stranded near the coast of Guangdong, so they also needed their help, and it was increasingly difficult to raise food and wages in the places they had recovered, so it was imperative to march into Guangzhou. In the past, there were no trains or automobiles on the march, and the brigade marched only 30 miles a day under normal circumstances, but it caught up with a hurricane to sweep the coast, and the roads were muddy and difficult to walk, and the speed was even slower. But the Shuai Mansion was in a hurry, Zhang Zhensun took a few entourages to go first in the rain, and they arrived outside the city last night day and night, because the city gate had long been closed, and they could only enter the city early in the morning, just in time for this scene.

After talking for a while, Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Zhensun and wilted, and understood that they were tired like dogs after driving for several days, and no matter how ignorant they were, they knew that they should let the family rest and rest before talking about business. So he ordered people to prepare hot water and hot meals, and arranged a place to stay, so that they could discuss the handover again tomorrow.

"Your Highness, what you did today is really unexpected by the old man, which is admirable!" There were no outsiders in the hall, Ying Jieyan said with a smile.

"This is all good teaching from the gentleman, is there anything wrong with it?" Zhao Yu smiled and said, I secretly scolded you people for treating Lao Tzu as a string of money, but who am I for!

"Your Highness is like this, the old man thinks it is appropriate, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just ......" Ying Jieyan looked at His Highness and stopped talking.

"Sir is trying to say that I can't afford to make a profit, and I don't take the money I have, so there must be some arrangement, right?" Zhao Yu looked at the smile on the corner of the old man's mouth and understood what he thought, this was to probe his own bottom. And from his 'cheap' appearance, I know that he was definitely not a worry-free master when he was a child.

"Haha, Your Highness is really smart. Our evacuation is imminent, and His Highness has already ordered disaster relief, which is already benevolent and righteous, and it is logical to accept the tributes from the merchants. And His Royal Highness only took one article, the old man is really puzzled? Ying Jieyan was broken by His Royal Highness, and he didn't feel embarrassed, so he smiled and asked.

"If I say that this king has mercy and does not see the people suffering, then my husband will not believe it!" Zhao Yu understood what the old man meant to say that he had pretended to be forced, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "But Mr. must know the meaning of the people's back, Guangzhou City will still be a key area for the enemy and us to fight for in the future, if you want the people to still be able to heart our Great Song Dynasty under the threat of the Mongols' sharp blades, it is difficult to achieve it with only a few words of loyalty, only let them really feel the emperor's grace." But it's still a little painful to throw so much money away! ”…… (To be continued.) )
