Chapter 308: Big Fish
Zhou Jun immediately replied: After two years of operation by us, the hearts of the people in our territory have been stabilized, and a large number of displaced people from the surrounding areas have been absorbed, and the land has been allocated. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And according to the instructions of the young master, we have been vigorously developing maritime transportation in the past two years, just sea ships, now we have more than 100, these are some large ships of more than 1,000 stones, and we have more than 100 small boats, and we have more boats of hundreds of stones, going to and from the north and south seas, but now the sea ships give us a lot of input every month!
Many merchants in the south have also learned the news that they have gone to our jurisdiction to do business by sea, and now the situation has been greatly improved, and there are already a lot of taxes in some places, and it is basically enough to raise soldiers!
In addition, after we took control of Dengzhou and Laizhou, we occupied the gold mines there, and now we have begun to send people to mine gold in those two places full-time, and we have been earning hundreds of taels of gold every month since this year, so since last year, our life has not been very tense!
In addition, Qin Hu and Zhou Laobo opened a large number of smelting farms in Laiwu County, which can produce a lot of refined iron every month, and we are basically self-sufficient in weapons!
In general, the situation in our territory is good now, and there is nothing to worry about!
Zhou Jun roughly introduced the situation of the Flying Tiger Army's territory to Gao Huaiyuan, and when he said these things, Zhou Jun's face was filled with a rather proud look, which could also be said to be quite proud.
Gao Huaiyuan nodded, what Zhou Jun said was basically the same as what he knew, it seems that in the past two years, they have really worked hard.
It's not that I'm bragging to the young master, don't look at us now that we only have sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses, once the time comes, we can expand the army at any time, and it shouldn't be a problem to gather more than 100,000 people casually, and the people who are leading the troops now are basically people from our Zhuangzi in important positions, they can be loyal to the young master, if the young master wants to rebel now, we are not ambiguous, and we will definitely lead the troops to follow the young master! Zhou Junxing replied angrily.
Gao Huaiyuan just took a sip of tea into his mouth, and after hearing Zhou Jun's words, when he choked on the trachea, he immediately squirted the tea out.
The Holy God treats me well now, and I am now an important minister in the court, how can I rebel? The reason why I have done so many things is just to make plans for the future recovery of the Central Plains in the north! How can you not know my heart! All right! Don't say anything like that again! Otherwise, just your words will probably kill me! Hehe! Gao Huaiyuan coughed and pointed at Zhou Jun and scolded with a smile, but he still jumped a few times in his heart, rebellion? Be emperor yourself? It seems that he hadn't thought about this before! But immediately pressed this thought again, Zhao Yun was good to him, how embarrassed to rob him of his job! What's more, the Song Dynasty has been in power for more than 200 years, and the people have already formed a deep-rooted sense of loyalty to the monarch.
Zhou Jun was embarrassed and hurriedly helped Gao Huaiyuan, who was choking, to brush his back and explained: Zhou Jun immediately replied: After these people entered the Crouching Tiger Hall, I arranged for them to eat and stay as the young master did back then, and taught them various skills to instill a sense of loyalty, so these people will be the young master's people in the future! He is definitely loyal to the young master!
However, because of our identity, it is inconvenient to disclose the identity of the young master, so after we took in these teenagers, we did not tell them the name of the young master, but only told them that it was a great good person who gave them food, not us, since they entered the Crouching Tiger Hall, we instilled this idea in them every day, no matter when, as long as we told them that you were the one who gave them food, they would be loyal to you, young master!
Although I just said that if the young master rebels one day, we will follow the young master, but in fact, thinking about it, what those officials did in the past of the imperial court is really not reassuring, wasn't Grandpa Yue also loyal to the imperial court back then? In the end? No
Zhou Jun immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing again, and quickly got up and knelt on the ground, and confessed to Gao Huaiyuan again and again.
Gao Huaiyuan sighed, asked Zhou Jun to sit down and talk, and told him again, don't say such a rebellious thing again, Zhou Jun quickly nodded and agreed, and didn't dare to talk casually anymore.
But Zhou Jun's unintentional words made Gao Huaiyuan's heart jump a few times, and he couldn't help but worry about his future, in fact, Zhou Jun was right, the scorpion does not sting, although Zhao Yun and the two of them have had a deep friendship since they were young, and Zhao Yun ascended the throne and took power, Gao Huaiyuan can work, but God knows if after a long time, will Zhao Yun listen to slander and become suspicious of him? If Zhao Yun was afraid that he would have too much power and would end up putting him to death, what should he do?
Thinking of this, Gao Huaiyuan forcibly suppressed this thought, and deceived himself to comfort himself, Zhao Yun should not be so ruthless and unjust! After all, they get along quite well now, so let's think about this later!
When Gao Huaiyuan heard this, even when he stood up, Jia Qi earlier suspected that King Yi might go north to escape the pursuit after the defeat of King Yi, so he ordered Zhou Jun, Liu Chengyi, and Fu Daquan to pay attention to the investigation of this matter within the jurisdiction, but after such a long time, there has been no news of King Yi, he thought that this matter would be settled, but he didn't think that at this time, King Yi was actually caught and captured, and he really hid in Jingdong, it seems that Jia Qi's speculation was still correct.
This is a big deal! The identity of King Yi was the real prince of the year, if he hadn't offended Shi Miyuan, he would be the emperor now, this news came too suddenly, after Gao Huaiyuan learned about it, he turned around the house a few times, but he couldn't make up his mind how to deal with this Zhao Hong.
If he dedicates Zhao Hong to Zhao Yun, needless to say, it is definitely a great achievement, Zhao Yun can rest assured, and there is no need to worry about Zhao Hong jumping out to ask him for the throne, with Zhao Yun's temper, Zhao Hong will definitely be killed immediately at this time, and the future troubles will be completely eliminated!
But Gao Huaiyuan did not immediately make the decision to hand over Zhao Hong to Zhao Yun, perhaps it was Zhou Jun's unintentional words just now that touched Gao Huaiyuan, Gao Huaiyuan immediately thought that he couldn't hand over Zhao Hong like this first, this Zhao Hong is a treasure in anyone's eyes, and it is the same in his eyes, this is a trump card, and it is obviously an unwise decision to hand him over immediately for cash.
Gao Huaiyuan was reluctant to hand over Zhao Hong in his heart, one is because he actually felt a little guilty about Zhao Yun's accession to the throne, although Zhao Yun's accession to the throne was presided over by Shi Miyuan, but Gao Huaiyuan contributed a lot, and he knew that he was going to be the emperor in the name of a good person, but they jumped out and inserted a lever, and they drove Zhao Hong off the stage, and also drove him out of the capital, and found a small place in Huzhou to watch him.
Although Zhao Hong later raised troops to make a rebellion, but people are working hard for their own vested interests, in essence, he led the troops to kill and catch other people's soldiers in the past, and caught Zhao Hong, a prince chased like a lost dog, and fled in panic, and now he was forced to not even dare to stay in the Song Dynasty, and fled to Jingdong incognito, but in the end he was caught, if he was sent to Lin'an like this, don't think about it, Zhao Hong only has a dead end, it is too inhumane to do so.
Subconsciously, Gao Huaiyuan also realized that Zhao Hong had another important value, that is, he was a magic weapon to contain Zhao Yun, what Zhou Jun said inadvertently just now reminded him, no matter how good a brother is, maybe there will be times when he turns against him, although Zhao Yun is good to him now, but God knows what will happen in the future, as Gao Huaiyuan, who has lived in the intricate Lin'an City for several years and has the knowledge of two lives, knows the truth that a companion is like a tiger, Zhao Hong? Isn't that just a good trump card?
In addition, the news is tightly sealed, no one is allowed to leak the news, and for those who can't be trusted, you know what to do when necessary!
At the same time, tell Zhao Hong that the world has been decided, let him die and regain the throne, now give him a chance, so that he can spend this life safely, let him do it himself! Back then, I helped the current official family ascend the throne, and it was indeed a little unfair to him, and it can be regarded as a little compensation for him! After Gao Huaiyuan went back and forth in the room a few times, he finally made up his mind and immediately said to Zhou Jun, in fact, Gao Huaiyuan didn't say it explicitly, but the words were also clear, telling Zhou Jun that this matter is very important, and when necessary, he should extinguish his mouth, after all, he knows the relationship of this matter, and he should be vicious when he should be vicious! Non-toxic and not husband!
Zhou Jun looked at Gao Huaiyuan for a moment, but immediately understood what Gao Huaiyuan meant, and quickly nodded in agreement, he knew that his master was in a very high state of mind, and it must be useful to keep this Zhao Hong, as a die-hard fan of Gao Huaiyuan, he should do this well for Gao Huaiyuan.
Gao Huaiyuan nodded, and after letting go of this matter, he chatted with Zhou Jun again, and after understanding the matter of the Flying Tiger Army in detail, he said to Zhou Jun again:
Zhou Jun replied with a smile: Although Gao Huaiyuan was a little worried, he thought that the people who came out of Crouching Tiger Village knew the word unity very well, and there was rarely a struggle for power and profit, so he didn't talk about it anymore, and let Zhou Jun think about it more.
The two talked about late at night, and Gao Huaiyuan sent Zhou Jun out of the Shuai Mansion, asking Zhou Jun to continue to maintain their apparent distance, so as not to let people see that their relationship was extraordinary, and Zhou Jun also agreed after writing it down.
