Chapter 339: Annan Comes as a Messenger
Qi is reforming, and the land that has just been acquired north of the Huai River and Dasanguan has not yet had time for reform. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe generation of Chang'an and Yan'an has just stabilized, and now Qidi and Huaihe, such a big land north of Dasanguan have all suddenly belonged to Zhao Shuo. This seemed to be a good thing, but now that this refugee has made Zhao Shuo, he feels that this matter does not seem to be as good as imagined.
Relying on taxes and selling small cannonballs, Zhao Shuo accumulated a lot of wealth. However, compared to Qian Zhaoshuo, he first asked Zhang Chujiu to establish an intelligence system, and then asked Feng Gonggong to establish a monitoring system of auxiliary intelligence systems. Later, the construction of the port of Dengzhou and the construction of ships cost another batch.
Zhao Shuo originally left a group of emergency ones, but after Dengzhou received that group of refugees, a large number of refugees began to flock to Dengzhou. In order not to waste labor and to speed up the development of overseas trade, Zhao Shuo finally decided to let Zhao Cheng take a group of people to Laizhou to build a port.
In this way, all the property in Zhao Shuo's hands has been spent. The rest are barely able to maintain daily expenses, and these people, Zhao Shuo will not use them no matter what.
"How much grain can hundreds of thousands buy? Where to buy? Will they sell? Zhao Shuo sat on the chair and frowned slightly.
Now there are tens of thousands of refugees in the Qidi and Huaihe-Dasanguan generation, or rather, it should be in the hundreds of thousands. With so many refugees, if they are not handled well, it is very likely to provoke a civil uprising.
Shaking his head, Zhao Shuo still hadn't come up with a feasible solution. He slowly stood up and muttered to himself. "Let's take one step at a time, it's really not good, I can only kill my treasures."
The treasures that Zhao Shuo said were the war horses in his hands. Through from the Western Xia, the ancient department of Meng. With the exchange purchase of the Keree Department, Zhao Shuo already has more than five hundred war horses in his hands at the moment. If these horses are killed and the refugees are not starved to death, it can still be called for a while.
When Zhao Shuo has a headache and is helpless, Fluttershy quietly runs in. "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, I heard from Chu Jiu that the envoy of Annan is here."
"Annan emissary?" Zhao Shuo's brows furrowed even tighter. "Are they coming? I don't know that. ā
"Chu Jiu said that these people are already on the way, they came secretly through the Huai River, and they should be able to get to Luoyang in two or three days." Fluttershy says.
"The messenger of Annan came to me? What will happen? Zhao Shuo frowned and said.
"I heard from Chu Jiu that the envoy of Annan went to Lin'an, but I don't know why, he left there again. They went around several times, and finally quietly went north and smuggled across the Huai River to find the prince. Fluttershy says.
"That's the case, then there must be a request for us." Zhao Shuo smiled, his eyes rolled, and he had already marked the idea of Annan's envoy.
"Then Annan, the slave maid heard that it is very far away from us, and the Great Song Dynasty in the south is going south! Even if they ask us......" Fluttershy pours Zhao Shuo a cup of tea. "We can't help them."
Zhao Shuo tapped Xiao Nan. "It's not the time to tell you." Speaking of this, Zhao Shuo took a sip of tea before continuing. "Haven't you been with Ying'er, Yunshang, and Yanwu all these days? Why do you have time to run here today? ā
In the past, Fluttershy was Zhao Shuo's personal maid, but after the last incident when Zhao Shuo hugged Wu Yashi, Zhao Shuo felt that this little girl was better with Yan Wu, Zhe Yueying, and Fang Yunsheng.
Then, Zhao Shuo will bring up this matter intentionally or unintentionally, and finally convince Fluttershy a few days ago, and then Fluttershy will change to Zhe Yueying, Yan Wu, and Fang Yunshang to live in the backyard.
During this time, Zhao Shuo has been busy, and Fluttershy has a good time with Zhe Yueying, Fang Yunsheng, and Yan Wu in the backyard.
There is this paragraph, so Zhao Shuo still has a lot of questions about Fluttershy's sudden arrival today.
"Actually, the slave still likes to follow the prince...... " Fluttershy pursed her lips, but halfway through her sentence, she didn't say anything more.
"I'm not happy to be with Ying'er and Yunsheng." Zhao Shuo got up, patted the personal maid who had been taking care of himself, and asked with a smile.
"It's not!" Fluttershy looks up at Zhao Shuo. "Lord Wang, actually, the slave and maid are here this time for a mission."
"Mission?" Zhao Shuosong's brows furrowed again.
"Actually, that's right." Fluttershy tugs at the corner of her coat and bites her lip.
"What's wrong? Say whatever you want! Zhao Shuo had a bad feeling rising from the bottom of his heart.
"That, Sister Ying'er, Sister Yunshang and Sister Yanwu discussed it with the four of them, and they felt that there should be a girl who served tea and poured water around the prince......
Before Fluttershy could finish her sentence, Zhao Shuo reached out to her. "No, no, it's enough to have Tong Shan, he can take care of me."
Tong Shan is the family member in charge of Zhao Shuo's diet after Fluttershy's departure. But many times, Tong Shan has to wait outside the door, and Zhao Shuo is self-reliant most of the time.
"Lord Wang, he is a man, not as gentle as a girl, nor considerate as a girl, so we still think that there should be a woman by the side of the prince." Fluttershy speaks.
"Then you'll be back." Zhao Shuo didn't want to be entangled in this matter at this time, he wanted to solve this matter quickly, and then make time to do other things.
"Lord Wang, this time it's not the slave who comes back, it's us who come back." Fluttershy whispers.
"You guys?" Zhao Shuo's bad feeling became a reality. "Impossible." Zhao Shuo waved his hand. "It's enough for me to come back as soon as you come back, all four of you come, and I don't have to do anything."
"Lord Wang, it's not four who come back, they come back one by one. We came over one day to take care of the prince by ourselves......"
Fluttershy doesn't finish her sentence before Zhao Shuo speaks. "Fluttershy, go now, Zhang Chujiu will find me, I have something urgent to find him."
Seeing Zhao Shuo divert the topic, Fluttershy is not flustered and seems to be prepared. "Since this is the case, then the slave maid should be regarded as the prince has agreed."
With that, Fluttershy runs towards the door. "Don't be untrustworthy."
Zhao Shuo opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Fluttershy had already run out of the room.
It didn't take long for Zhang Chujiu to walk in.
As soon as he saw Zhang Chujiu, Zhao Shuo asked with a face. "Zhang Chujiu, tell me, what's going on?"
Zhang Chujiu was directly stunned by Zhao Shuo's question, he could be there, and he didn't know how to answer.
"The matter of Annan's envoys." Zhao Shuo pointed at Zhang Chujiu. "Why don't you report me and tell Fluttershy about them, you know, how big of a deal it is? Also, have you read the secrecy regulations I specified for you, and you don't know these things, can't you just talk about them more coldly? ā
Under Zhao Shuo's questioning, Zhang Chujiu said extremely aggrieved and pitiful. "In the end, when I reported to the future, I was caught by Miss Fang and Miss Zhe, and if I didn't tell them, they wouldn't let me go. I thought about it, and it wasn't a big deal, and in the end, I ......"
Hearing Zhang Chujiu say this, thinking about the means of folding Yueying and Fang Yunsheng, Zhao Shuo really couldn't talk about Zhang Chujiu. He sighed and said helplessly. "Okay, tell me about the messenger of Annan and the news."
