Chapter 0003, the same prince, why is the gap so big?

Ji Chenfeng was ashamed in the end, and he poured wine for the two deployments, and opened his mouth to say, "Who are you looking for for the food in Guiyun City?" ”

Wu Bowen hurriedly responded: "Of course it's the Ministry of War, the granary under the Ministry of War is located in Luoshui City, where the waterway is developed, and the military food supply of the five major cities on the border of the empire comes from Luoshui City, but this Zhou Kai, who is in charge of the granary of Luoshui City, is not easy to deal with." I wrote to him three times, begging for food, but I was all sent back. ”

Ji Chenfeng snorted coldly: "Oh, then I'll write a letter to him in person to see if he dares to refuse?" ”

Wu Bowen arched his hand and said: "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince will definitely come out in person. ”

Wu Bowen immediately asked the shopkeeper of the wine shop to bring pen and paper, and watched Ji Chenfeng finish writing the letter before giving up.

Ji Chenfeng asked, "The letter has also been written, can you drink with peace of mind now?" ”

Liu Yi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there are still some things to report to you. ”

"Say it!"

"The walls of Guiyun City are dilapidated, the city defense is old, if we don't repair it, we will definitely not be able to resist the winter beast tide in a few months."

Ji Chenfeng waved his hand and said, "Then repair it." ”

Wu Bowen poured cold water at the right time and said: "Your Highness, it takes a lot of money to repair the city wall and ordnance, and now the Yuncheng Mansion Treasury can't make ends meet, and it is really impossible to come up with extra money, in addition, there is an extreme lack of craftsmen in the city, and it is really difficult to repair the city." ”

Ji Chenfeng glared and said, "So I'm poor? ”

Wu Bowen said leisurely: "It is indeed very poor, when His Royal Highness came to the fiefdom, he only brought three thousand taels of silver, and he asked the doctor to see a doctor and take medicine twelve times before and after, and it cost five hundred taels of silver... ”

Ji Chenfeng: "。。。。。 ”

"Is it so expensive to see a doctor here?"

Wu Bowen explained: "Guiyun City is the closest city to the Demon Spirit Mountain Range, and there is not even a decent military doctor in the city. ”

Ji Chenfeng was slightly ashamed, he died twelve times to be rescued, it all depended on those doctors, and now he actually disliked the consultation fee too expensive.

"Ahem, so it's worth the money."

After listening to Wu Bowen and Liu Yi's reports, Ji Chenfeng's chest was a little stuffy, this Seventh Prince is too down.

The fiefdom is in ruins, and there is a shortage of soldiers and food, and it is so poor that the soldiers and civilians of the fief are disheartened, and no one has hope for this Seven Princes.

Now the trend of public opinion in the city is quite unfavorable to Ji Chenfeng, and the people are stretching their necks and waiting to see when this sick Seventh Prince will have his braids.

Ji Chenfeng picked up the wine glass and swallowed the wine in one gulp, smashed his mouth, and found that this wine was actually an inferior wine mixed with water, and a strong sour taste echoed in his mouth, just like his mood at the moment, pulling out the cold, pulling out the cold.

The Han Empire has a fine tradition that when the prince becomes an adult, he will be granted a border fief, leading the soldiers and fiefdom people to guard the border gates, resist the invasion of demons and evil beasts, and protect the people of the empire to live and work in peace and prosperity.

And the merits of the princes will be used to measure whether they can become the successors of the empire in the future.

Ji Chenfeng has four royal brothers, two imperial sisters, one imperial sister, and one imperial brother.

His four imperial brothers are all adults, have obtained different fiefs, the fiefs of the imperial brothers are excellent, not only the geographical location is superior, and the city wall is tall and strong, rich in resources, the emperor also rewarded them with a lot of gold and silver, the allocation of elite soldiers, supplemented by the ministers and celebrities.

The background of these royal brothers is also quite deep, and their biological mothers are all famous families, and there are not a few people who support the DPRK and China.

With such a set of VIP teams, as long as these royal brothers are not too stupid, they can get along well.

On the other hand, Ji Chenfeng here, he wants money but no money, no food, no people, and he is facing internal and external troubles at the moment.

I have to sigh, they are also princes, why is the gap so big?

Several royal brothers are biological, am I not?

What the hell did I pick up in the stinky ditch?

Guiyun City was in a bad situation, and the wine was naturally not very enjoyable, and the repair of the city wall was temporarily stalled due to lack of money.

The top priority is to find a way to solve the food problem, otherwise those thorns in the prison camp will make a fuss, and Ji Chenfeng's life will be difficult to protect.

Coming out of the wine shop, Wu Bowen said goodbye first, his home was in the prefect's yamen.

Because there was no plan in advance, and the emperor had no intention of allocating funds to Ji Chenfeng to build a mansion, Ji Chenfeng could only set up a tent in the barracks of the forbidden army and live first.

This arrangement is also out of security considerations, after all, it is not very peaceful outside now, who knows if there will be soldiers and civilians who will look at Ji Chenfeng unpleasantly, and on a whim come to assassinate the second and seventh princes, liberate and return to Yuncheng, how unjust will Ji Chenfeng die?

On the way back, Ji Chenfeng asked casually, "Liu Yi, do you think we can get money from there?" ”

Liu Yi said abruptly: "Your Highness, this last general doesn't know, let's see if Luoshui City will allocate grain first, if this Zhou Kaiken gives His Highness a son, help us solve the food crisis first, and then we will slowly figure it out." ”

"Also, the soldiers and horses have not been able to do it, the grain and grass go first, and only when the problem of food is solved first can other things be considered."

For three days in a row, Ji Chenfeng stayed at home in the tent, and took the topographic maps and data around Guiyun City to look through them.

After reading it, Ji Chenfeng became even more desperate, there were less than 1,000 farmers under the jurisdiction of Guiyun City, and there were even fewer merchants.

In other words, Ji Chenfeng couldn't find a fat sheep to be slaughtered if he wanted to learn to peel and collect some taxes.

Three days later, there was finally a reply from Luoshui City.

Zhou Kai can be arrogant to Wu Bowen, but he doesn't dare to Ji Chenfeng, at least the superficial respect has to be given.

Zhou Kai's reply was brilliant, complimenting Ji Chenfeng throughout, praising Ji Chenfeng a little blushing, secretly touching his face, and couldn't help but doubt: Is His Highness really so good?

After coming back to his senses and taking a closer look, this letter seems to be a compliment, but it is actually ripping off, first praising Ji Chenfeng fiercely, and after praising you comfortably, the style of painting in the letter changed and began to complain.

The five major cities on the border come to urge grain every day, but there is so much grain in the grain depot, and there is no west when it is given to the east, originally I wanted to arrange some for the seventh prince, but unfortunately the day before receiving the letter, the grain in the grain depot has been pulled away by the eldest prince and the third prince, and the second prince and the fourth prince also wrote to book, and it is really difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
