Although this voice is a little vicissitudes and a little disappointed, but still has infinite perseverance and determination, Zuo Maodi is very familiar with this voice, he said with surprise and joy: "See Brother Bai, aren't you guarding the system in Suzhou?" How can such a small thing work your might? Just write a letter!"

The old man who said the road was none other than the former Huaiyang governor Lu Zhenfei, when Empress Zhang and King Fu made three chapters on the canal, the witnesses were in addition to Liu Yongxi, the sincere prince, as well as Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, and Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huaiyang.

It's just that Lu Zhenfei, who resolutely supported King Fu's accession to the throne at that time, never thought that after King Fu ascended the throne, he, the real hero of the decision, would become an object that could not be tolerated in all aspects, and he was the first to be liquidated and removed from the post of governor of Huaiyang.

Next, like Zuo Maodi, he was bereaved by his mother, and he was worried that he could not recover, and his hometown was Beizhili, Quzhou, and now he was still under the control of thieves and Qing soldiers, so he could not run for funeral, so he had to temporarily live in Suzhou.

Zuo Maodi never thought that Liu Yongxi would actually invite Lu Zhenfei, the former governor of Huaiyang, out, although he knew that many courtiers still regarded Lu Zhenfei as a thorn in the flesh and always wanted to fix Lu Zhenfei to the point where he couldn't turn over, but he always admired Lu Zhenfei who turned the tide, and looked at Liu Yongxi's eyes with a lot of relief.

And Lu Zhenfei's voice still has a bit of vicissitudes: "At the beginning, Our Lady and Her Royal Highness King Fu were in the third chapter of the canal, and at that time, Yi'an Niangniang specially stated that I Daming and the thief Kou Jianyu have a common hatred, and rashly seeking peace can only make the thief Kou Jianyu look down on my Daming, so it is not allowed to talk about the New Year's currency without a war, the river is the evidence, and I Lu Zhenfei is also the proof!"

Lu Zhenfei's words were righteous, not only Chen Hongfan and Ma Shaoyu felt speechless, but even Zuo Maodi lowered his head, and Lu Zhenfei continued: "It's only a few months later, and someone actually left behind the three chapters of the covenant between Niangniang and His Royal Highness King Fu, what face does I, Lu Zhenfei, have to meet the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zuo Maodi completely agreed with Lu Zhenfei's suggestion in his heart, but as the number one person in the Northern Mission, he had to stand on the position of the imperial court and speak: "The ship is not loaded with New Year's coins for the Qing Kingdom, but for the reward of the Duke of Jiguo, and I still have the edict of the imperial court canonizing Wu Sangui as the Duke of Jiguo!"

Now the imperial court has high hopes for Wu Sangui, hoping that he can become the third force between the Ming and Qing dynasties, and even hopes to bring Wu Sangui over, and even Liu Kongzhao, the sincere uncle, is trying to win over Wu Sangui, so the batch of gold, silver, silk and rice beans carried by the fleet are all a reward for Wu Sangui to unite with the Qing army to defeat the thieves.

But although everyone has many unrealistic illusions about Wu Sangui, they also know that this batch of gold, silver, silk and grain will become the first batch of annual coins paid by the Hongguang small court to the Qing State as long as they arrive in the north, so Liu Yongxi couldn't help laughing: "Zuo Shibo, the little nephew is also here to protect Cao today, and there is no malicious intent!"

Li Xiangjun felt that Liu Yongxi said very interestingly: "Uncle Cheng Cheng has made it very clear that he and General Xing are here today to share the worries of the imperial court and protect the country, and there is absolutely no malice!"

Zuo Maodi already knew Liu Yongxi's general plan and could only be silent, and the first governor to advocate peace, Tongzhi Chen Hong, couldn't wait to bargain with Liu Yongxi: "Sincerity, General Xing, since you are protecting the country, this batch of grain for the Duke of Ji can be temporarily handed over to you for escort, but the reward for Wu Sangui, the Duke of Ji, is very important, please raise your hand with sincerity, everyone is doing things for the court, don't get an inch to anger the court!"

Liu Yongxi didn't speak, but just gave Li Xiangjun a look, and Li Xiangjun immediately understood: "What is the total amount of money and grain rewards in this batch?" ”

Chen Hongfan was very clever: "There are a total of 100,000 stone grains, which were originally prepared to be transported by sea to Wu Sangui, but there was no sea ship in a hurry, so it could be temporarily handed over to Chengyi Bo and Xing Garrison for safekeeping, as for the reward for killing thieves for Ji Guogong, it was mainly an edict and some extravagant things that could not be used in the army!"

It's just that Zuo Maodi took the initiative to take over the topic: "Uncle Sincerity, in addition to the 100,000 stone grains that our fleet is ready to receive from Wu Sangui, the Duke of Jiguo, there are also 100,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, and 10,000 horses of silk!"

Although Liu Yongxi has been practicing for a long time, her breathing became shortness at this moment, and Li Xiangjun was even more excited and wanted to jump, she felt that her trip to the canal was definitely not in vain!

The harvest is too big, what 100,000 stone edict grain, 100,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold are not as expensive as this 10,000 pieces of silk and gold in her eyes, and it is the first time she has encountered a scene where silk can be measured by 10,000 horses, and this must be the top royal tribute silk.

This little sincerity can always give people special surprises!

As for Xing Shengping, he was stunned now, and he didn't know how to speak at all, although he knew that Zuo Maodi's Northern Mission must have a lot of oil and water, but he didn't expect that the oil and water were so rich that they would be rich in gold and silver.

What is the concept of 100,000 stone grains, 100,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, and 10,000 pieces of silk? Although Xing Shengping boasted that he had seen the world, so much gold, silver and silk together made him lose his concept of numbers.

He had to be glad that he had invited Liu Yongxi back, if it weren't for Liu Yongxi's guidance, maybe the five battalions under his command would soon be separated from Germany and fall apart, but with this batch of gold, silver, silk and grain, then the five battalions of Linhuai Town and Xing Shengping would be invincible in Jianghuai!

Now he's smiling from ear to ear!

And the governor of the same knowledge Chen Hongfan's face is more ugly than anyone else, he didn't expect Zuo Maodi to directly play out all the hole cards, this is 100,000 silver, 1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 pieces of silk, he originally hoped to use this gold and silver silk in the Qing Kingdom in exchange for the prince of Wandai!

And Lu Zhenfei on the river laughed again: "This is not an old coin, what can it be?" ”

Although Emperor Hongguang and the ministers of the court and the central government adopted an attitude of covering their ears and stealing bells on this matter, and insisted that this batch of gold, silver, silk and grain was a reward for Wu Sangui's thief, everyone knew the actual nature of this batch of New Year's coins.

And the most absurd problem is that before the two sides began to negotiate, the Hongguang court paid a large amount of gold, silver and silk tribute to the Qing state, which can only show how short-sighted the Hongguang small court was.

However, Zuo Maodi resolutely refused to admit that this batch of gold, silver, silk and grain was the New Year's coin: "This is by no means the New Year's coin, this is the salary of the righteous teacher, just like the sincerity of Bo today is for the court to share worries and protect the country!"

Lu Zhenfei, Xing Shengping, Li Xiangjun and Liu Yongxi all admired Zuo Maodi's witty reaction, and Chen Hongfan became anxious when he heard this: "Zuo Shilang, this batch of gold, silver and satin imperial court can name the grain and salary given to Wu Sangui, the Duke of Jiguo, and it must not be misappropriated without authorization!"
