Three miles outside the south gate of Los Angeles, Luoshui Wharf.

The long fleet, with no edge visible at a glance, is nearly 100 meters wide, and one-third of the water area of the Luoshui River is occupied by 500 canopy boats. The ship's sentry faces were rusty and stained with morning frost.

The pier was lined up, and the twelve berths were all requisitioned, whether it was the official fleet or private boats, all of them went to the left and continued to berth at the pier farther away.

On each berth, the double-pack four-wheeled carts, one after another, were discharged several miles away, dressed in sackcloth, playing the coolies of the red fight, lined up, one after another, stepped forward, carried two hundred catties of grain bags, turned around and walked to the pack cart twenty steps away, put it into the pack cart, turned around and lined up to carry the grain bags.

A little farther away, a group of people stood on a high place, looking at the fleet of boats on the river, the cars on the dock, the cold wind caressing their faces, but no one covered them.

The young man standing in the middle of the crowd, his face was like a jade plate, his figure was tall, his green shirt fluttered in the wind, his sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he looked around.

Beside him, there were more than a dozen people, old and young, whispering softly from time to time. The closest to the jade-faced youth is the secret master Jin Cheng, who has recently become famous in Los Angeles.

Jin Cheng's shaft furnace smelting, iron mold casting, and three-phase alloy were all booming as soon as they came out. Fast, efficient, high-quality, low-cost weapons, so that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu personally came forward and asked Jin Cheng to teach the secret art of metallurgy.

Jin Cheng politely refused on the grounds that the secret technique was still in the experiment, not perfect, had many shortcomings, and had certain dangers. In fact, everyone knows that Jin Cheng is the widow of the crown prince, and the overseas secret master brought by His Royal Highness Chu Ren, before His Royal Highness Chu Ren's identity is undecided, Jin Cheng is naturally reluctant to announce the secret technique.

Doing this, although it violates the law of the secret master, makes people helpless, after all, the matter of the big position is not far away, and whether or not you can get on the throne is only in the rest of the month. If Chu Ren can't ascend to the throne, I think that Jin Cheng Secret Master should also come up with such secret techniques that can benefit Great Chu.

Who knows, this kind of thing can only be said when the time comes, even if he doesn't want to, who can force him?

If Chu Ren is defeated, it is unknown whether he can get out of Los Angeles, but Jin Cheng is a secret master, and I am afraid that no one will dare to think crookedly about him.

Jin Cheng smelted to build momentum, Chu Ren with hundreds of thousands of stone grain spread the Quartet, in the most difficult moment of the Great Chu, the food he brought, to solve the urgent need of the Great Chu, hundreds of thousands of displaced people, although not full, but at least stutter food, will not cause a large area of death, or to live and desperate chaos.

Another group of carriages came here, and a hundred meters away, stopped, and with the support of two strong warriors, an old man got out of the car.

The old man first looked at the continuous fleet of boats on the river, and there was a glimmer of greed in his eyes, all of which were good food.

Turning his head, he looked at Chu Ren standing in the cold wind, refused the support of the two warriors, opened his legs, and walked towards Chu Ren unhurriedly.

Ten steps away, the old man stopped, and looked at Chu Ren.

"King Wu is well. Chu Ren smiled slightly, but didn't care. Although King Wu is an elder, he can not be wasted. According to the courtesy, excellence should be greeted first, but he didn't.

"Your Highness is well. Excellence said with a light cough.

Looking at this face that was extremely similar to the three princes, a hint of discoloration flashed in Zhuo Zhuo's eyes, it would be nice if he were the third prince, but it's a pity.

"King Wu, this great river and mountain has entered the cold winter, the wind is fast and the sun is cold, but spring is not far away. Chu Ren said softly.

The corners of King Wu's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh. It is said that His Royal Highness Chu Ren has a strategic mind, can accommodate the four seas, has a long-term vision, and can see the millennium. It's an exaggeration, after all, I am a young man, and after reading a few books, I like to play a sharp game.

Maybe in the eyes of young people, this is very remarkable, but in the eyes of an old man like him, it's like a joke, if there is something, talk about things, and make those useless farts, are you a martial king who reads less?

"Your Highness, let the old man come to the dock to blow the wind, it doesn't mean that you want me to listen to this. Martial King Zhuo said politely.

King Wu was also very embarrassed, he defeated the King of Chu and calculated King An, but with the strength of King Wu's Mansion, it was impossible to overthrow the Chu family, all he needed was a successor close to King Wu's Mansion.

The problem is that none of the three princes can support the wall, and the previously selected prince is also a helpless move, all three are frustrations, and they can't choose a big one at all.

Chu Ren's appearance originally made King Wu even more embarrassed, but after more than a month of observation, he found that King An's vision was still quite good. Moreover, this His Royal Highness Chu Ren is not a puppet of King An, not to mention that King An is no longer there at this time.

In the past month or so, Chu Ren has not jumped up and down, lobbying the Quartet, and even rarely sees the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, let alone the generals in the army.

Chu Ren only did two things, ships of grain, kept being transported into Los Angeles, set up work sites outside the city, and gave relief to work, not to give soup porridge in vain, but to let the victims move, repair the river, transport food, there was really no work, even the work of cleaning the streets was sent out, these days, it was the cleanest time in Los Angeles for hundreds of years, and there was not even a single dead leaf on the road.

No matter what kind of work it is, as long as you do it, you will have a stutter, and no matter how big or small, only the elderly over forty years old can eat for free.

In addition to transporting grain for disaster relief, Chu Ren ignored the affairs of Da Chu, and Jin Cheng set up a work site, recruited strong men among the refugees, built furnaces to smelt iron, poured iron molds, and could become hundreds of arrows at a time, dozens of soldiers, and added a variety of stones, smelted three-phase alloys, and smelted alloys to create the best weapons, but the price was only seventy percent of the market.

Jin Cheng is famous for his secret skills, and Chu Ren is known for his benevolence and righteousness, if it weren't for the plane made by Lei Shi, the limelight would be even stronger, I am afraid that the names of Jin Cheng and Chu Ren would have spread all over Chu long ago.

seems to be inactive, but Chu Ren has actually done it to the extreme. He was originally the orphan of the prince, and his identity was embarrassing, if he took the initiative to contact the courtiers and military generals, he was afraid that he would not even be able to enter the gate.

Chu Ren's style of acting has been supported by many ministers in the court, especially compared with the three princes, it is not a little stronger.

Although Chu Ren is the orphan of the crown prince, after all, he is also the grandson of the Chu family.

Back then, the prince was indeed a loser, and he did a lot of stupid things, but look at the three princes now, they have done more stupid things. The difference is that the prince had the power in his hands and did stupid things, which made Da Chu suffer.

In any case, a hundred years have passed since the prince's affairs, and there are basically no people who have experienced the events of the year, except for King An Chu Xingyun, it can be said that they are not the people in charge.

The internal fighting of the Chu family has nothing to do with the foreign ministers, and now seeing Chu Ren's actions, many people feel that it is better to let Chu Ren ascend the throne than to let one of the three princes ascend the throne and cause trouble to Chu.

King An has passed away, King Wu's Mansion is silent, and Chu Mingxin is a staunch supporter. As for the three princes, it really makes people laugh and cry, they were still fighting in the house, but when Chu Ren appeared, the three of them became turtles with shrunken heads, and they didn't even dare to show their faces.

"Of course not, over the past hundred years, the contribution made by King Wu's Mansion to Da Chu is obvious to all, Chu Ren, as a junior, admires himself, but it is inconvenient to enter the mansion to ask for a meeting, so he has to invite the prince to see the mountains and rivers of Da Chu on the dock. Chu Ren said with a smile.

If Renault is here, he will definitely have to complain, Da Chu also has literary and artistic youths.

"Yes, it is not easy for Da Chu to get to where he is today. "Zhuo Zhuo is very helpless, he can only accompany Wen Qing for a while, this is not what he wants to hear.

"The prince is far-sighted, what kind of changes should Da Chu make now?" Chu Ren asked.

Ask the policy, or take the school?

"In the past few years, Dachu has continued to suffer natural disasters and harsh subordinates, so it should focus on stability, benefit the people first, solve food and clothing, rectify officials, and then try to do other things. "When asked about political affairs, he opened his mouth to come, he is not an excellent martial artist, but he is an excellent politician, otherwise he would not be able to fight with the king of Chu for decades without falling.

In fact, in terms of governing the country alone, King Wu really doesn't look down on Chu Zheng, King Chu is good at planning, but it is just a conspiracy, good at seizing power, winning people's hearts, and in political affairs, he has not made any achievements, coupled with natural disasters for many years, he is simply overwhelmed, and he guides the great Chu exiles to rise up.

Chu Ren shook his head slightly: "Yes, it's not right." ”

Zhuo Zhuoyi frowned, he asked himself about the political affairs of Great Chu, unsurpassed, not to mention the dead King of Chu, even several auxiliary ministers of the Political Affairs Hall, not as good as his vision, Chu Ren is only in his early twenties, and he lives overseas, how much can he know about Great Chu?

"Based on the theory of Da Chu alone, what the prince said is true, and he is right to the point. Looking at the larger world, Chu Ren wants to say that the prince is sitting in the well and watching the sky. Chu Ren said confidently.

"What do you mean by that?" Excellence frowned, is this something in the words?

"Da Chu's problem is actually not serious, to put it disrespectfully, Chu Zheng is incompetent. Dachu has a vast area, and there are secret masters to help each other with secret techniques, which will never make the people hungry, although there are natural disasters, man-made disasters are the key. If you can't manage officials, natural disasters will be as heavy as a year after year, how can you save them?"

Zhuo Zhuo didn't answer, he knew Da Chu's problem, Chu Ren was right, the king of Chu's control over the following was very weak, in order to defeat himself, Chu Zheng put most of his energy on the army, controlled most of the army of Da Chu, and restrained himself, but the control over the state capital below became weaker and weaker.

As long as they pay a small amount of taxes every year, they can be powerful in the state capital, squeeze the people, and live a life of drunkenness, especially in the southern states, which has gone very far.

The farther away from Los Angeles, the weaker the control of the Great Chu court, coupled with the nine sides of Great Chu, a large number of troops are needed to defend it, and the security of the inland is under the control of the state military and government soldiers.

Excellence was also suppressed by Chu Zheng ruthlessly, and he didn't have the time to care about these, in fact, a few years ago, he felt that several states in the southeast had reached the point of listening to propaganda and not listening to tunes, and the number of taxes every year was also decreasing. Several metropolitan governors kept shouting that natural disasters were coming and demanded tax reductions.
