231. Your Highness speaks carefully!

Panmen, located in the southwest corner of Gusu City, is the same as the other four gates, all of which are double gates on land and water.

Near the door, it was already crowded with people, and at a glance, it was full of moving heads.

In the river outside the gate, a continuous fleet of boats began to enter the city.

More than a dozen military ships were the first to enter, and then a huge building ship passed through the water gate gate, and the flags on the ship were unfurled, and the honor guards were listed, indicating that this was the ship of King Yan.

"It's here, it's here, it's really His Royal Highness King Yan!"

"Your Highness didn't leave us, now we are saved......

"The slave family has long said that His Royal Highness is a good person, and he can't trust those who chew the root of his tongue......

"Where, where? Which one is the Yan King, why didn't I see it?"

"Can't you see the big words on the guard of honor...... Oh, illiterate, that's fine."

In the Song Dynasty, even if the emperor drove a car, he would not ask the common people to avoid or kneel down to greet him, as long as he did not cross the cordon, he would watch casually.

At this time, when the people saw the Yan Throne ship, they did not show a respectful appearance, but cheered and shouted, pointing and pointing, which was completely a lively look, and a little more elaborate, at most, it was to bow down and wave their hands as a salute.

Zhao Mengqi, who didn't know that he had been issued a "good person card", heard the noise around him, so he recklessly climbed onto the roof of the boat and waved to the people.

Compared with the wide robe and big sleeves, Zhao Mengqi still prefers simple clothing, but he has to talk about etiquette in public and can't be too casual, so he likes to dress more and more.

He is now dressed the same as on the day of the sacrifice, wearing gold armor, a fiery red silk cloak, still not wearing a hood, and a ponytail fluttering in the wind, looking heroic and free and easy.

When Zhao Mengqi first appeared on the roof of the ship, the people didn't react at once, and they all felt a little puzzled.

"Hello everyone, Gusu fathers!"

Zhao Mengqi beckoned to all directions, while constantly saying hello loudly.

"It's Your Highness, it's Your Highness......

Someone came to his senses and shouted excitedly.

"Ah, this is His Royal Highness King Yan? It's really handsome and majestic!"

This is obviously nonsense, from such a distance, I can't see Zhao Mengqi's face clearly.

"Your Highness is so easygoing, and greet us first...... Hail to Your Highness!"

Several young students were a little surprised and hurriedly returned to worship each other.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Look at it, look at it, the concubine is twenty-eight years old, and she is as beautiful as a flower!"

A group of warblers and swallows, waving colorful embroidered handkerchiefs, show their style, and want to attract the attention of the king of Yan.

"King Yan is actually wearing armor, it turns out that the rumors are true, King Yan is indeed a good martial artist...... Alas, though the kingdom be great, the warlike will perish."

The old Confucian shook his head and sighed, dissatisfied with King Yan's heavy martial move.

"Daddy, the child is so hungry, is that glittering gold, can you exchange it for a lot of meat buns?"

The little boy sat on his father's shoulder, drooling as he watched the golden light on the boat.

"Humph! It's all this time, and you dare to be so swaggering, and I'll see how you eat it later!"

In the city building, the pot-bellied gentleman was disdainful, and he wished that King Yan would immediately fall into the water and drown.

The Temple of Literature is not far from Panmen, turn two bends in the waterway of the city, and continue to drive for three or four miles.

Wu Qian, with hundreds of officials, waited here early, and when he saw Zhao Mengqi getting off the boat, he greeted him and saluted.

Xie Tang was also in the waiting crowd, and at this time he found that behind King Yan's boat, there was a large string of boats with no end in sight, and the draft was very deep, obviously full of heavy objects, and he felt a bad premonition in his heart.

This Yan King, shouldn't he really bring grain again?

In a daze, he didn't even notice that King Yan had walked in front of him.

"You're Xie Tang? According to folk etiquette, shouldn't Lone call you cousin?"

What does this mean?

Pull the relationship closer, so that I can show him some affection during the negotiation?

Xie Tang was stunned for a moment, but looking at King Yan's expression, it seemed a little playful, but it didn't look like it.

"The minister is Xie Tang, His Royal Highness laughed, there is a difference between the monarch and the minister, how dare the minister be called a brother."

Zhao Mengqi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and glanced at Xie Tang deeply, "Don't dare? I think you're quite bold, hehe, I hope you can make the right choice today......

Xie Tang's expression froze, and he pushed his backhand, "The minister is stupid, I don't know what His Highness means by this? However, since His Highness invited the ministers to meet, he must have let the ministers understand."

Zhao Mengqiyun said lightly, "Hehe, that's nature, and today will definitely make it clear to you."

"At present, the food shortage is serious, the people are waiting to be fed, and His Highness is also anxious to see this scene, and the gentry in the city also urgently need to be open and honest with His Highness to discuss the solution, please come in and discuss in detail." Xie Tang waved his hand slightly to the lobby of the Temple of Literature.

"There's no hurry." Zhao Mengqi waved his hand, his face was still indifferent, "Lone didn't come empty-handed, some time ago, Lone was fishing in Taihu Lake and accidentally got some objects, I want everyone to appreciate it."

Xie Tang didn't know why, and subconsciously turned his head and touched Lu Wencai and the others behind him, but obviously the large group of gentry behind him didn't understand what King Yan wanted to do.

Objects in Taihu Lake?

It's nothing more than some stones, although Taihu stone has always been loved and respected by literati and scholars, but what's the use at this time?

King Yan can't be whimsical, he wants to exchange these stones for food, right?

Zhao Mengqi didn't care about them, and casually ordered his subordinates to start unloading.

As the sergeants continued to carry the baskets off the boat, moved them to the center of the square in front of the Temple of Literature, and dumped the contents out, the crowd continued to cry out, and it became louder and louder.

"Well, it seems to be all gold and silver......

"They all look old, could it be that they were fished out of the lake?"

"It's only been a short while, and a small mountain has been piled up, and it seems that there are quite a few more behind, how much is this?" new

"What does King Yan mean? Are you going to just throw money at it and buy our food?"

"Shhhh According to the current price of grain, the grain in our hands is not tens of thousands of yuan, who would want to sell it!?"

The heroes whispered, but Zhao Mengqi didn't hear it, sitting on a Taishi chair, crossing Erlang's legs, and sipping tea slowly.

Xie Tang was still a little nervous at the beginning, afraid that what was unloaded was grain, and when he saw that it was gold and silver, although he was also surprised, he was sure in his heart.

Even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, if King Yan does not promise to never cross the border today, then he will not let himself and others release a grain of grain.

With the efforts of thousands of sergeants, it took more than half an hour to unload all the belongings.

On the huge Confucian Temple Square, a real mountain of gold and silver rose from the ground and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Zhao Mengqi stood up, strolled to the front of the gold and silver mountain, picked up a gold collar casually, and tossed it to play.

"I guess, everyone is curious, how much money is here."

Zhao Mengqi looked around as he walked, "According to rough statistics, there are more than 400,000 taels of gold, more than 700,000 taels of silver, and the gems and jade are difficult to count......

"Perhaps, compared to the wealth of all the gentry in Pingjiang, this is nothing, but this is only a part of the captivity that was captured by the Jin people back then."

He threw the gold collar back to the "mountain" casually, and picked up some jewelry, bracelets, crown combs, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, rings, pendants, and all kinds of them, all of which were deformed to varying degrees, but at first glance they were used by the people.

"You heard it right, this money is the harvest after the Jin Wushu invaded Jiangnan more than 120 years ago, and some of it would have fallen into the pockets of the alien race if it hadn't been for Chen Sigong leading the army to stop it."

"I believe that you should not forget that when the aliens invaded, Gusu City, Changshu City, Wujiang City and other cities were razed to the ground, and batches of gentry and common people were turned into dry bones."

"You are all very rich, but if you lose your protection, it is tantamount to a child walking in the city with a lot of money, and when the iron hooves of the alien race come, you can only be slaughtered, and all your money and wealth will only become the spoils of the alien race, and you, or your descendants, can only become the soul of the alien race!"

"You should all hear how cruel the Mongols are, and take a city, and slaughter it, and take it as a pleasure as a place when they pass by."

"Their first chieftain, Temujin, said that the greatest joy in life is to defeat the enemy, to chase the enemy, to take all that he has, to see his dearest wash his face with tears, to ride his horse, and to take his beautiful wife and daughter."

"If it weren't for the thousands of soldiers guarding the Great Song Dynasty, you people would still be able to spend all day drinking, singing and dancing!?"

"The food in the mouths of the soldiers, the armor on their bodies, and the knives in their hands must not be supported by taxes, but you, the gentry and wealthy families, are extremely wealthy, but you still do everything possible to evade taxes and pass them on to the poor people who have eaten the last meal but not the next meal."

"I don't know what you all think, are they all pigs? Desperately amassing wealth, are you worried that when the Mongols come, you will be unhappy if you grab too little!?"

"Actually, you all know these truths, but greed has blinded your hearts and blinded you."

"When you say this today, you don't expect a few people to come to your senses, but I solemnly tell you that if your family and country are broken, your home will not be able to be saved!"

"Lone is reasoning with you now, but if you are still obsessed, then Lone will not give you a chance to wait for the alien race to rob it, the Mongolian knife is hard, and Lone's knife is not soft, it's really urgent, rather than letting the alien race grab it, then it is better to take it first!"

"Do you think that Lone can't do it, and that Lone has no money and food, so he orders not to move the soldiers!? Hehe, if you are really ruthless, you will even be afraid of yourself! Lone may only need one sentence to make the people of Quangu Suzhou City become my soldiers now."

"Do you want to know what that is?"

At this time, Wu Qian hurriedly ran out, "Your Highness, be cautious!"

"Hehe, Wu Gong is not in a hurry, Lone is just joking with them."

Zhao Mengqi clapped his hands, a gentle smile appeared on his face, harmless to humans and animals, and there was no gangsterism in the slightest.

It's just that the officials present were all shocked, and many of the gentry were as pale as dead people, and the silk satin on their bodies was soaked in cold sweat and became extremely heavy.
