The great court meeting that lasted for several hours finally came to a successful end in Li Er's reward, and almost every year's big court meeting was like this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a long report conference, Li Er took out the treasury and accumulated a year's worth of cloth and distributed it to the ministers, which was called a reward for the ministers, but Zhao Chen seriously doubted that this was not Li Er dealing with old goods.

Of course, this year's Great Court Meeting, the only difference from previous years is that there are many more envoys from Fanbang, for these envoys, Li Er also treats them all equally, each with a piece of cloth, and the envoys who were moved almost praised Li Er as the Emperor of Heaven.

The absolute big scene, the absolute touching of the heavens and the earth, provoked the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty, along with the envoys of various states, praised Li Er one by one, as if the cloth that Li Er had just rewarded was a peerless and unique product.

It's just that a few families are happy and a few are worried, just when everyone is holding the cloth of reward and smiling, among them, there are a few people's faces, and the smile looks much more ugly than the death of the family just now.

And these people are definitely not others, it is the Japanese woman Gardenia who has been planning for a long time these days and is ready to suddenly attack Zhao Chen at the court meeting, as well as Yuan Gai Suwen and a few people.

During these days, whether it was Gardenia or Yuangai Suwen, they had been preparing for this court meeting for a long time, but unfortunately, even if they were fully prepared, they turned out to be a mess.

When Zhao Chen came out of the hall with the cloth and silk rewarded by Li Er, sandwiched between the veterans, and said with a smile, he saw Yuangai Suwen and Gardenia, mixed with a group of envoys, and walked out of the palace with a gloomy expression.

seemed to hear the laughter of the veterans behind him, and Gardenia, who had already stepped out of the palace gate with one foot, suddenly turned around and glanced behind him casually.

When I saw Zhao Chen among the veterans, especially, when I saw Zhao Chen, who had just entered the palace, he was still on crutches and had not recovered from a serious injury, but at this time, he was standing tall and mixed among the veterans.

Gardenia's expression was slightly stunned for a moment, and then, looking at Zhao Chen from afar, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

On the other hand, the envoy behind Gardenia, at this time, was hanging his head, looking like a mourner, it is estimated that according to the way this Japanese woman behaves, even if this guy goes back, the end will not be much better.

In the imperial city, Mu Qiu drove the carriage, and when he saw Zhao Chen coming out of the palace gate, he immediately jumped off the carriage, flew to Zhao Chen's side, and took the cloth from Zhao Chen's hand.

"Master Hou, just now, Shopkeeper Hu has returned from Jiangnan!" Muqiu has always been silent, took the cloth from Zhao Chen's hand, followed behind Zhao Chen like a shadow, and waited until Zhao Chen came to the carriage and there was no one around, then he said to Zhao Chen.

"Hu Lu is back!" Zhao Chen, who was about to get into the car, suddenly stopped when he heard the words of Muqiu behind him, looked back at Muqiu behind him, and asked, "When will you come back?" ”

Last time, because Li Chengqian wanted to develop Jiangnan, he couldn't find a reliable person around him, so he had to temporarily call Hu Lu back from Mobei and send him to Jiangnan to help Li Chengqian handle Jiangnan affairs with full authority.

A few days ago, Zhao Chen received a letter from Hu Lu, saying that he was going to go back to Chang'an during the Spring Festival, but as a result, Zhao Chen waited for these days and never waited.

Last night, he was still muttering to himself, Hu Lu, this guy, did there have an accident over there, so that he could not come back in time for Chinese New Year's Eve, but he didn't expect that this guy had already arrived in Chang'an.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Chen quickly got into the car, while listening to Muqiu's words, while urging Muqiu, and quickly headed towards Xinghuafang.

It's just that what he didn't know was that he was in a hurry to go back, but he ignored Wei Zheng's voice behind him, looking at Zhao Chen's carriage far away, Wei Zheng shouted for a long time, and finally, he had to look at the carriage that was gone, and let out a helpless sigh.

"Master Hou hasn't seen you for a long time, it's always been good!" When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Zhao Chen had just gotten off the carriage, and in the hall, Hu Lu, who had already heard the movement, walked out with a smile on his face.

This guy seems to be in Jiangnan, and he is living a very comfortable life, compared to when he just came back from Mobei, he is black and thin, and he is obviously much whiter and fatter.

In addition, this guy is dressed in a copper coin man's suit, and he looks like a nouveau riche, and Zhao Chen, who is watching, is standing there, and he is staggering!

"That's good!" Hearing Hu Lu's inquiry, Zhao Chen looked at Hu Lu with a smile and quipped: "However, looking at your appearance, you must be over there, and you can live comfortably!" ”

"Hou Ye made fun of it!" After getting along with Zhao Chen for a long time, when Hu Lu and Zhao Chen were alone, they didn't feel much cramped, so after hearing Zhao Chen's words, he immediately put on a bitter look and said: "Master Hou is not unclear about that place, the water is staggered, and in July and August, the mosquitoes can eat people!" ”

"Damn, just tell someone else what you say!" Zhao Chen couldn't get used to Hu Lu's bitter appearance, especially this guy still looked like an upstart, so after hearing this, he immediately reported with disdain, and said to Hu Lu: "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of Benhou!" ”

While the two were talking, Zhao Chen took Hu Lu directly to his study, waited until the people brought refreshments, and after they all retreated, he put away the smile on his face, looked at Hu Lu seriously, and asked, "Tell Ben Hou about the things over there!" ”

Li Chengqian wanted to develop Jiangnan, and Zhao Chen was not involved in this matter from beginning to end, and of course, he never asked Li Chengqian about it, and from beginning to end, it was Li Chengqian who took Hu Lu to do it.

"What do you say, Master Hou!" Seeing that Zhao Chen became serious, Hu Lu also sat opposite Zhao Chen, looked at Zhao Chen seriously, frowned slightly and said: "Hu has been there these days, he has traveled a lot of places, to be honest, he has some plans to live there!" ”

"Good place?" Hearing Hu Lu's somewhat exaggerated exclamation, the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth only raised slightly, but he still didn't laugh, but looked at Hu Lu and sighed.

"Definitely!" Hu Lu, who was sitting opposite Zhao Chen, couldn't help but raise his head slightly when he heard Zhao Chen's words, and chuckled at Zhao Chen: "The real rich land, this has not yet been developed, and when it is developed, Hu estimates that it may become the granary of the world!" ”

"Huh!" Hearing Hu Lu's words, Zhao Chen took a slight breath and chuckled at Hu Lu, then looked at Hu Lu and asked, "Then how much land has been developed now?" ”

"Less than 10 out of 10!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Hu Lu suddenly looked at Zhao Chen, smiled a little helplessly, and said: "Nowadays, there is too little capital that can flow into Jiangnan, and there is the problem of filling the population, which is a more important problem than capital!" ”

Jiangnan is vast and sparsely populated, this matter, Zhao Chen already knew about it, according to the history that Zhao Chen knew, Jiangnan really became rich, or after the war in Guanzhong, the people poured into Jiangnan, which drove Jiangnan.

Therefore, as Hu Lu said, the problem of really developing Jiangnan is not a problem of capital, but a problem of sparse population, however, this problem is helpless even for Zhao Chen.

Unless, let Li Er order that some people can be relocated and settled in Jiangnan, otherwise, the problem of Jiangnan's population can only accumulate slowly!

"To be able to develop a single piece of it, that's pretty powerful!" After listening to Hu Lu's words, Zhao Chen was slightly silent, and then looked at Hu Lu again and said: "It's only this one, if you wait until the bumper harvest, you can also make the grain price in Guanzhong reach the lowest point!" ”

"What's more, Hou Ye!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Hu Lu, who was still a little emotional just now, immediately looked at Zhao Chen with bright eyes and said: "Master Hou doesn't know, Hu Mou heard His Royal Highness say some time ago that the developed land is not ready to plant cotton or anything like that for the time being, but all of it is planted with rice!" ”

“… Hungry and crazy? Hearing Hu Lu's words, Zhao Chen made up the scene of rice ripening in his mind, and then looked at Hu Lu with a stammering expression, and muttered to himself: "If all the rice is planted, and it is high-yield rice, it is estimated that when the harvest comes, the grain of Datang will be flooded!" ”

“… Does Master Hou think it's inappropriate? "Born in this era, accustomed to natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is actually difficult to form a concept of such a thing as a food flood, so when I heard Zhao Chen's surprised words, even Hu Lu couldn't help but show an incomprehensible expression and asked cautiously.

“… That's good! When Hu Lu spoke, Zhao Chen frowned slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and when Hu Lu's voice fell, Zhao Chen suddenly seemed to have figured out something, changed his previous surprise, and smiled at Hu Lu.

"That's right!" However, just as Zhao Chen's words fell, and Hu Lu didn't have time to speak, Zhao Chen, who was listening to it, suddenly looked at Hu Lu and said: "From now on, you instruct the people below who are in charge of the trade of the Japanese Kingdom to completely stop the trade with the Japanese Kingdom!" ”

“… Why? "The commerce and trade over there in the country are very profitable, so when he heard Zhao Chen's words, Hu Ludang raised his head in surprise, looked at Zhao Chen incomprehensibly and asked.

"No why!" Hearing Hu Lu's words, Zhao Chendang shrugged his shoulders at Hu Lu's indifference and said: "Benhou is unhappy with the Japanese people, so it's time to make the Japanese people unhappy!" ”

It's incomprehensible, it's very incomprehensible, especially the people in this world who can't get along with money, it's the most incomprehensible to Hu Lu, but it's a pity that since Zhao Chen said it, even if it's incomprehensible, then you have to tell it honestly.

"Daddy, Erniang said it's time to worship the ancestors!" Just as Zhao Chen and Hu Lu were talking in the study, Xiao Zhao Xi's milky voice suddenly came from outside the door.

The little guy is now able to speak fluently, but when he speaks, he still has a milky voice, and some words are still not clear.

It's just that it's the people in the Manhou Mansion, whether it's Zhao Chen or Qin Yuyan, they just like to listen to this little guy's milky voice.

"Let's go!" Hearing the little guy's voice, Zhao Chen suddenly stood up from the chair, stretched his waist for a long time, said to Hu Lu, and then took the lead and walked out of the door. (To be continued.) )
