Chapter Twenty-Three: Is the Governor of Guangzhou His Own People?
"My Gaozhou Mansion is also willing to lend grain to Qiongzhou."
.......
Soon, with the prefects in front of them standing up, most of the people in the back also responded, and they all came to this point, and everyone else was the same, if any of them disagreed, it would seem to offend King Qiong.
"Good! The king was very pleased to see that you were united, and since he said that he had borrowed grain, he would definitely pay it back. ”
"All the prefects have come with sincerity, and this king can't live up to your kindness, come with me."
Zhu Zi smiled with satisfaction, stood up, and walked towards the outside of the living room.
All the prefects sitting there stood up suspiciously, not knowing what Zhu Zi wanted to do, but they all followed.
The group walked out of King Qiong's mansion and walked towards the field, during which there was no prefect, and they asked too much, so they all followed Zhu Zi quietly, after all, this is Qiongzhou, King Qiong's territory, if you want to do anything to them, you don't have to take them so far.
"A piece of green in front? What is that? ”
Jin Wushi kept walking behind Zhu Zi, and at a glance he saw a green patch in front of him.
Not only him, but everyone around him was in an uproar.
"Here, is the grain grown in Qiongzhou, what you see, is only one-fifth, and a huge part has just been planted, this king promises you, within three months, Qiongzhou will be able to return all the grain to the states with interest."
"This is the sincerity of Qiongzhou, not only food, but also the danger of Haikou in the future, if you need help, you can find this king at any time."
"Sang Zhao, in the past month, how many people have been cleaned up in Qiongzhou?"
Zhu Zi pointed to the field in front of him, and said solemnly and with the prefects behind him.
These words seem to be painting cakes, but in fact, Zhu Zi really has this strength, and it won't take long for the food to be completely gone, and at that time, it is time to consider the problem of Haikou.
In the eyes of the court, he came to Qiongzhou for two things, one is the danger of the people's food, and the other is the danger of Haikou.
"Inform His Royal Highness King Qiong, a total of five sea bandits are coming, adding up to more than 3,000 people."
Sang Zhao stepped forward and reported.
In the past month, Qiongzhou's armament has been upgraded, which is obvious to all, compared with before, I don't know how much better, more than 3,000 people, Zhao'an has more than 2,000 people, so that Qiongzhou, which has a small population, has increased a large number of labor force.
"Ho! is worthy of King Qiong, which has caught up with the number of Haikou in each state for half a year. ”
Jin Wushi exclaimed.
More than 3,000 pirates, this number, is very huge, you know, this is Qiongzhou, Qiongzhou is short of materials, few pirates, will choose to rob Qiongzhou, it is estimated that it is because of the arrival of King Qiong, it attracted such pirates.
With the military strength of Qiongzhou, it is also unexpected that it can easily resist so many fateful pirates, even if it is the Guangzhou Mansion of the upper five prefectures, there is a lot of pressure in the face of thousands of pirates.
"Qiongzhou's sincerity, everyone has seen it, so let's discuss and discuss the matter of borrowing grain."
Zhu Zi saw everyone's expressions and showed a look of success.
The deterrence and temptation have been thrown out, and then it is time to close the net.
The main purpose is still for food, and whether or not we can survive this food crisis depends on this time.
"Of course it's no problem, King Joan can just open his mouth."
Jin Wushi and the governors of various states spoke one after another.
Some prefects, who had wanted to remain neutral, have also changed their attitudes.
"Wang Zhi, come here."
"This is the prefect of Qiongzhou, I believe you all know each other, and he will tell you about the need for food."
"If you have any follow-up problems, you can just find Wang Zhi directly, if Wang Zhi can't solve it, you can find me."
Zhu Zi beckoned and motioned for Wang Zhi to come over.
He didn't count how much food was needed and how much he needed, and Wang Zhi had always been in charge of these things.
"Yes!"
"Governors' ......."
Wang Zhi nodded and walked towards the prefects.
Zhu Zi saw that they were chatting, but he didn't speak, and waited on the side.
Next, there is nothing for him to do, what he has to do has already been done, just wait for Wang Zhi to say how much food he needs, and wait for the states to send it.
"Your Royal Highness King Joan, can you have a private chat?"
Just as Zhu Zi lost his voice, a voice came from behind him.
When he went to the prestige, he saw Jin Wushi standing behind him.
"Let's go."
Zhu Zi nodded slightly, took Jin Wushi, and walked forward.
"What are you talking to me about?"
While walking, Zhu Zi asked.
He always felt that this Jin Wushi was not ordinary, but he didn't know where it was ordinary.
"King Qiong is not curious, in the living room, why does that person dare to face you so arrogantly?"
Jin Wushi still had that mysterious smile on his face.
Facing King Joan alone, there was no fear.
"The north-south transfer, I think someone wants to target me, but it's just a clown jumping off the beam, it's not worth mentioning."
"In contrast, I'm more interested in you, why are you different from others, it stands to reason that you came together should have been discussed."
Zhu Zi asked curiously.
Originally, when he knew that these prefects were coming together, he had already prepared for a vicious battle, and he wanted to fight the Confucianism and deal with more than a dozen prefects with his own strength, but the result surprised him.
Jin Wushi and the others didn't seem to be from the same camp, which puzzled him, obviously they came together, but they were not from the same camp.
"It is worthy of King Qiong, and his vision is really extraordinary."
"It is His Royal Highness King Yan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who wrote to His Majesty that I was asked to be the prefect of Guangzhou, and specially explained to me that I should take more passports to protect you, and everything is based on your instructions."
"Someone is indeed targeting you, it is the prime minister's person, it should be that you are above the court, and you offended the prime minister, so the prime minister specially sent someone to target you."
Jin Wushi is also not hiding, and directly shows his identity.
The reason why obese men are afraid of Jin Wushi is also because they know that there are people behind Jin Wushi, and they don't dare to go too far.
But in the face of Zhu Zi, it is different, with the support of the prime minister behind him, he naturally dares to act recklessly.
"Big brother, fourth brother?"
"Did they go south too?"
Zhu Zileng paused for a moment and hurriedly asked.
He knew that it was not that simple, how could someone help him for no reason, he had not met the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture before, there must be a reason behind this, and sure enough, it was the eldest brother and the fourth brother who were helping him.
"I don't know this, the whereabouts of the prince and King Yan are not qualified to know."
"If King Qiong has any needs, you can tell me, and the Guangzhou Mansion will do its best to help."
Jin Wushi shook his head and said.
