readx; Yuan Keli heard that Zhu Youzhen wanted Qi Xianzong to propose marriage, and immediately shook his head and said: "Your Highness, please forgive the ministers for being blunt, I'm afraid General Qi will not agree to your proposal!" ”

"Why?" Zhu Youzhen said disappointedly. In fact www.biquge.info he had met Qi Xianzong a few times today, but he didn't dare to recognize him. can look at Qi Xianzong's attitude towards himself, it is obvious that he is not the type he likes. Now that Yuan Keli said the same, Zhu Youzhen's heart was already half cold.

Yuan Keli ignored his feelings and analyzed them one by one: "The minister has served as the governor of Denglai for many years, and he knows General Qi very well. Meifeng's child ran away from home, and the minister also knew a little about it. First of all, General Qi has an upright temperament, especially disdainful of the powerful of Afu, if His Royal Highness uses the identity of the prince to suppress him, it will only backfire.

"Secondly, General Qi is the heaviest promise. Since he has agreed to Zheng Zhilong's marriage proposal for his brother, he is afraid that he will not regret it. Moreover, the Qi family is a martial arts family, and General Qi must pay attention to the right person when looking for a son-in-law. Zheng happened to meet his requirements, and Zheng Zhibao was also brave, which was favored by General Qi. In contrast, although Your Highness is a prince, you are still a prince in martial arts..."

Yuan Keli was embarrassed to continue, but Zhu Youzhen understood that people had already seen that he didn't know martial arts at all.

Let Yuan Keli say this, he is simply useless, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be a little annoyed. He thought for a moment and then said, "Your Excellency, what you said is true. But Meifeng and I are in love, and General Qi can't help but think about it, right? A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, can you do me a favor and take me to visit General Qi with you. I will plead with the old general, and ask the adults to say a few kind words for me. ”

Yuan Keli pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "Your Highness's orders, the ministers should obey them." The minister also admired His Royal Highness's sincerity to Meifeng, and of course he would try his best to persuade General Qi. But General Qi's ambition is difficult to move, and whether he can be moved or not, the minister is not sure.

"In addition, it is too dangerous for His Highness to come to Dengzhou, once it is detected by Dongchang and Jinyi Guard, it will be a capital crime. Therefore, His Royal Highness should not go out of the governor's yamen again, and there is anything to be done by the servants. General Qi was there, and the ministers invited him here to meet. Although the old general is not very good at talking, he is an upright person, and even if he refuses to agree to propose, he will never leak the news. ”

Zhu Youzhen heard that Yuan Keli made sense, so he had to nod his head in agreement. He introduced Li Zhenyan to Yuan Keli again, but concealed her identity as the owner, only saying that she was a North Korean businessman and had business cooperation with him. In order not to give Yuan Keli the impression that he was "greedy for money", Zhu Youzhen also told him about the process of the Huanghai merchant gang buying rice from overseas to stabilize the grain price in Xi'an.

This time, Yuan Keli didn't doubt it anymore, and praised after listening to it: "Your Highness really has a good vision!" The people take food as the sky, and the army is based on food. Nowadays, natural disasters are still frequent in all provinces of the country, and grain production is constantly decreasing; The minister is responsible for supporting grain and grass in Liaodong, and he often feels overstretched. His Royal Highness was able to find another way to buy rice from overseas, and he could still make a profit, which was so impressive! ”

Li Zhenyan immediately went out of the house to do business, and Zhu Youzhen stayed in the governor's yamen. At the time of the palm lamp, Qi Meifeng, Chen Yuanyuan, Red Lady and others also rushed over and stayed here with Zhu Youzhen. As for the brigade, they still live in the inn.

And Li Zhenyan is overjoyed because of the change in Yuan Keli's attitude, and she is also very quick to do things. In addition to these small chores, she also got in touch with the Yellow Sea Merchant Gang who stayed behind in the city.

The guys, all North Koreans, were in charge of the process of connecting sea and land transportation, as well as the management of the warehouse.

Originally, with the assistance of Qi Meifeng, the Huanghai Merchant Gang successfully rented a large warehouse for the transit of goods. However, due to the signs of a secret communication with Houjin by Ayayangjun Li Liang, relations between China and North Korea were tense for a while, and Yuan Keli ordered all the industries run by North Koreans to be sealed, and this warehouse was also among them.

Now that the sea ban has been reopened, the warehouse has naturally been unsealed. Li Zhenyan went to inspect, and in addition to checking the remaining goods, she also focused on asking about the whereabouts of several sea vessels. Because in terms of time alone, these ships should have completed the purchase of rice and returned to Dengzhou. Now that it has not arrived, something must have changed.

The men were unable to answer, because they had been under house arrest for a long time, and there was no news at sea. The only thing that is certain is that during this period of time, the Yellow Sea was calm and calm, and it was certainly not the convoy that encountered the sea and sank.

After listening to Li Zhenyan's report, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be surprised: "Since there is no shipwreck, where will the ship run back?" Could it be that the Japanese invaders intercepted it? ”

Lee Jung-yeon is also at a loss. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart, these five sea ships were of great significance to the Yellow Sea Merchant Gang. Without them, Zhu Youzhen's maritime trade routes would have been cut off. After a long time, Jingyang is in danger of food shortage; And once there is a shortage of food, his various reforms will naturally not be able to continue.

After Yuan Keli learned of this situation, he hurriedly promised to discharge the naval division warship to assist in the search. If there is really no news of a few sea vessels, a few civilian ships will be temporarily recruited for the use of the Yellow Sea merchant gang. Zhu Youzhen was very grateful, thinking that if he hadn't met Yuan Keli, a nobleman, the Huanghai Merchant Gang would really have collapsed.

Of course, this matter can only be carried out slowly, and the top priority at the moment is to arrange a meeting with Qi Xianzong. Qi Meifeng and Yuan Keli have known each other for a long time, and after meeting each other at this time, they have been crying silently.

Yuan Keli couldn't bear to look at it and said: "Meifeng, you don't have to be too anxious, and stay in the governor's yamen." Tomorrow, the old man will invite the old general Qi to come over for a banquet, but you don't show up at that time, only His Royal Highness will meet the old general. It makes sense, but if it really doesn't make sense, alas, the two of you have no choice but to say goodbye and fly away. ”

Zhu Youzhen couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, secretly thinking that this Yuan Keli was not as rigid as other high-ranking officials, and he actually asked himself to elope with Qi Meifeng, which was really a bit deviant.

However, he still said with a straight face: "Thank you for arranging it." However, I have promised Meifeng that I must marry Mingmei and let her marry into the palace in style. So I will never take Meifeng away like this, I must convince the old general. ”

At dusk the next day, Yuan Keli really found an excuse and invited Qi Xianzong to the mansion for a banquet. Qi Meifeng hid early, and Zhu Youzhen also dressed up carefully, secretly thinking that the ugly daughter-in-law would have to see her in-laws sooner or later, whether I, the prospective son-in-law, could impress Qi Xianzong and hold the beauty, success or failure would be in one fell swoop!

After three rounds of drinking, Yuan Keli smiled at Qi Xianzong and said, "General Qi, this official will introduce you to a person." ”

Zhu Youzhen turned out from behind the screen and gave a deep salute to Qi Xianzong.

Qi Xianzong was surprised: "Isn't this Gongzi You?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a heart: "The old general is above, and Zhu Youzhen, the king of Qin, is polite!" ”
