"Your Highness, are you back?"

Outside the door of the conference hall, a voice of surprise was heard.

"Coming? Have a seat. ”

Zhu Zi saw the person coming, smiled, and pointed to the side.

"Yes."

Wang Zhi reacted and sat next to him.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, who were gobbling up watermelon, I didn't know what to say for a while.

They are all some fresh faces, but they should all be brought by Zhu Zi, and he is not in a hurry to ask who it is, he heard Sang Zhao say that it is to let everyone come over, there must be something important, to announce, this time after leaving Qiongzhou for so long, there should be a lot of gains.

Last time they left Qiongzhou for a long time, they successfully won Dongfan, as for Zhu Zi leaving Qiongzhou alone this time, what he got will be known later.

Soon, a man walked in, and everyone came in, saluting respectfully, and then all took their seats.

"Everyone is here."

"If they haven't come yet, let them not use it."

After a long while, Zhu Zi looked at the people who were almost full, and spoke.

"As you can see, I'm back, of course, this time, not alone."

"The big guy next to him is the blacksmith I invited from the imperial capital, and they are all among the best in the imperial capital, this is in charge, Huang Tiesheng, if there is anything in the future, you can just find him directly."

"Huang Tiesheng, this is Wang Zhi, the prefect of Qiongzhou, if you need anything in the future, you can find him, and in the future, the demand for iron ore will be directly connected to Wang Zhi."

Zhu Zi briefly introduced the people in the blacksmith shop.

After that, he was definitely not in charge of the blacksmith shop, he didn't have so much energy to take care of so many things.

As for how Wang Zhi arranges it, it's not up to him, anyway, everyone has called over, and the big guys have all known each other, so it will be easy to do after that.

"Hello."

Huang Tiesheng and Wang Zhi also got to know each other briefly and sat down.

"This is the first thing, as long as we digest all the iron ore, we will be able to have a large amount of iron, and it will be much easier to do anything at that time, and Qiongzhou will be able to mass-produce weapons."

"What happened during the time I left Qiongzhou?"

Seeing this, Zhu Zi continued to ask.

For four months, nothing could have happened.

"Your Highness, during the time you left, Qiongzhou has developed steadily according to your instructions, and has not encountered any great difficulties, the problem is still the previous problems, although there are pirates and pirates continue to attack, but after the construction of the guard tower and the arrow tower, it is no longer difficult, and a small number of troops can be solved."

"Now there is good news and bad news, which one does Your Highness want to hear first?"

Wang Zhi reported as usual, but as he spoke, he suddenly stopped.

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Wang Zhi in surprise.

"You're still playing this with me, so let's talk the good news first."

Zhu Zi smiled.

He liked this atmosphere very much, and the tense atmosphere was also eased.

"The good news is that now every family in Qiongzhou has a few fields, and there are dozens of fields, the people will never be hungry again, and there will never be a food crisis in Qiongzhou, not only that, the states near Qiongzhou, after hearing that Qiongzhou is developing well, have come to live in Qiongzhou, and the population of Qiongzhou has increased rapidly, which has been three times as much as before."

"The enthusiasm of the people is very high, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the inventory in Qiongzhou has also increased."

Wang Zhi said with a smile on his face, before Zhu Zi came, he was the prefect of Qiongzhou, and he knew very well how big the changes in Qiongzhou were, and he couldn't be happier to see that Qiongzhou was getting better and better.

And all of this is because of Zhu Zi's existence, Qiongzhou has become so good, but if Zhu Zi doesn't come, as before, the situation will only get worse and worse.

Before, the people of Qiongzhou were eager to leave and leave Qiongzhou quickly, but now, how many people are fighting to come to Qiongzhou, without exception, as long as there is no problem, he agrees to let them settle in Qiongzhou.

The more people in Qiongzhou, the more help they will provide for their future construction, anyway, they are not bad for food in Qiongzhou now, unlike before, they are afraid that there will be more people who can't afford to give food, but now there is food, and they are not afraid of how many people come.

"Yes, everyone has worked hard and paid so much for the development of Qiongzhou."

"What about the bad news?"

Zhu Zi nodded with satisfaction, this news is indeed good news, now is the time to employ people, the more people, the greater the help to them in Qiongzhou.

With a human foundation, you can do a lot of things.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces became a little worse, including Wang Zhi and Sang Zhao's faces, which became not very good.

"Tell me what's going on."

Seeing this, Zhu Zi knew that there must be nothing good, otherwise everyone would not have a gloomy face.

But what else can make the big guys like this?

"Your Highness, Dongfan is lost!"

Wang Zhi's face turned pale, and it was not easy to say this.

After saying this, everyone lowered their heads in unison, including Sang Zhao, who also lowered their heads.

Dongfan was lost, and they couldn't get rid of it, when Zhu Zi left, he also deliberately explained to them, optimistic about Qiongzhou and Dongfan, but when Zhu Zi came back, they lost Dongfan.

"What do you say? Toban lost? ”

"Dongfan left so many people, how could he lose it!"

Zhu Zi stood up directly excitedly, with a look of surprise on his face.

Dongfan, how could they lose it, they left seven or eight thousand people in Dongfan, more than the defenders of Qiongzhou, how could they be lost.

Could it be that Chen Zuyi is backwater? He really couldn't imagine that in addition to Chen Zuyi's anti-water, there was any other force that could rob Dongfan.

"We don't know that just a month ago, the people we sent to Dongban escaped back, and there were people who escaped from Dongban on the ship."

"He said that suddenly a group of people from Dongfan came to the island, these people killed people without blinking, and killed people when they saw them, and when we found them, they had already killed our barracks, and he was patrolling outside, so he survived, and when he returned to the barracks, everyone died, and he knew from the mouth of a soldier who was dying."

"When those people found out about our people, they caught up directly, and it was better to run fast enough, otherwise they would have died."

Wang Zhi said with a pale face, looking extremely terrifying.

To be honest, when he first heard the news, he couldn't believe that the enemy would be so powerful that all the people who left them in Dongfan would be killed.
