At this time, Xu Miaoqing next to him crackled with an abacus.

"According to the current ability of the Datong Chamber of Commerce, King Su can probably get 20,000 taels a month, of course, if King Su can repair the official road to Datong Mansion and control the bandits on both sides of the official road, this number can be increased by thirty percent."

"Twenty thousand taels? So much? Zhu Ao said in a lost voice, and then immediately realized something, coughing twice to relieve the embarrassment.

"Well, it's no problem to play the fold, the acting king can take the initiative to help the king solve such a big problem, and the king will also explain it on the fold, but the matter of building roads and fighting bandits is still a little tricky, even if the Mongols retreat, the current strength of Ganzhou is only about one-third of the previous one, which is really ......."

Zhu Ao said with an embarrassed face.

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "Brother Wang's situation has also been thought of by this king, so in order to solve Brother Wang's situation, this king has already thought of countermeasures, as for the money for road repair, the palace will bear it, and even the palace will send troops to clear the bandits, as long as Brother Wang can agree." ”

"Do you pay or pay people?" Zhu Ao looked at Zhu Gui with a look of surprise.

To be honest, he came here today mainly to find trouble with Zhu Gui, but when things have developed so far, he has almost forgotten his original purpose.

It's not that he is not strong-willed, but the other party gives too much.

But in this situation, he really doesn't know what Zhu Gui's thankless and expensive upside down post is for?

If the relationship between the two brothers is very good, it can be understood, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that among the Zhu family brothers, except for Zhu Biao, the prince of the 'Brother Protector Crazy Demon', no one can talk to this generation of Wang Zhu Gui.

Zhu Ao was still speculating about Zhu Gui's purpose.

The other party directly took a stack of silver tickets from Xu Miaoqing's hand and pushed it in front of Zhu Ao: "Here is 100,000 taels, which is considered a deposit, as long as King Su nods, it can be regarded as a little bit of the king's heart." ”

Zhu Ao looked at the silver ticket in front of him, and his hands trembled a little.

He has been operating in Ganzhou for a year, and he has used all the methods of looting land, but he has not made so much, and Zhu Gui actually took out 100,000 taels casually?

"Acting King, what is your idea?"

Zhu Ao finally didn't hold back, and asked while putting away the silver ticket.

Zhu Gui sighed and said: "Brother Wang, you and this king are both under the orders of your father to govern the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and what this king has done is just to revitalize the Ming Dynasty." ”

Revitalizing the Ming Dynasty? Zhu Ao will not believe it if he is killed, but this 'excuse' is high-sounding, and even if it is used in the fold, there will be no sense of disobedience.

"Okay, this king believes in your intentions, as for those disaster victims, is the acting king's mansion really willing to take action?" Zhu Ao threw out the last question.

Originally, even if the Mongols did not attack Ganzhou, because of natural disasters, there were already tens of thousands of victims in Ganzhou.

And now, because of the war that has lasted for nearly a month, there are more than 100,000 victims, and if it is not handled well, once it causes a civil uprising, it will be something that can lead to fire.

That's why Zhu Ao asked, not how diligent he is and loves the people, but because he is unwilling to pay for money.

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "If Brother Wang allows, this king is willing to recruit these refugees to build roads and work for relief, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone." ”

When Zhu Ao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Work for relief, a good work for relief, the acting king really has the means, such a good thing, this king is naturally willing, this king will go back to draw up an excerpt, explain this matter to the court and his father, the acting king rest assured, in this matter, this king will spare no effort." ”

With that, he immediately left with two generals.

Zhu Gui was sent all the way outside the barracks, and happened to meet Xu Yingxu who came back from the inspection.

"Has King Su been here? Is he here to find trouble? ”

Xu Yingxu asked with a serious face.

Zhu Gui didn't speak, Xu Miaoqing chuckled and told the previous story.

Xu Yingxu looked at Zhu Gui in surprise: "Lord Wang, I didn't expect you to be able to understand this King Su, and the last general will admire it." ”

Zhu Gui smiled faintly: "It's nothing, it's just a small profit, by the way, what's the situation outside the city?" Did the Mongols move? ”

Xu Yingxu said: "A small group of Mongols left the large army and headed towards the steppe, and most of the Mongols were still stationed in the same place. ”

Zhu Gui nodded, and then called his own soldiers, repaired a letter and handed it to the other party, and ordered him to send it back to the Datong Chamber of Commerce, transfer grain from Yunzhou, and appease the Mongols first.

Then he ordered people to go to the major grain stores in Yunzhou City to buy all the grain he could buy at a high price, and then set up porridge shacks in various parts of the city to relieve the victims.

At the same time, the victims were recruited to repair the houses behind the city of Ganzhou and resettle the victims.

This series of measures soon attracted all the victims from other cities to Ganzhou.

The price of grain in Ganzhou suddenly rose dozens of times.

If this is in Datong Mansion, Zhu Gui is afraid that he will immediately lead people to arrest these profiteers who have made a fortune.

But this is Ganzhou City, even if the price is higher, he can only endure it, and he can only wait for the caravan of Datong merchants to come to alleviate the current predicament.

Zhu Gui's move soon spread all over the streets and alleys of Ganzhou City.

Those squires and wealthy families did not understand and sneered at his behavior, thinking that he was originally a prisoner of the army, and he was not in his own territory, and doing these things to win people's hearts was just thankless, that is, he was stupid and had a lot of money.

And Su Wang Zhu Ao also received the news, and some people even made suggestions to him, saying that the acting king's move was really harboring evil intentions and wanted to take his place.

But since Zhu Ao accepted the money, he just laughed it off, not to mention that he knew Zhu Gui's status in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, and it was naturally impossible for the vassal king to be easy.

And he also sent a batch of grain in a decent way, brushing up a wave of goodwill, and the turmoil of this matter also died down because of his operation.

It's just that a week later, the grain in Ganzhou City has been exhausted, and even if Zhu Gui is willing to buy it at a high price, he can't buy it.

And the caravan in Datong Province is still on the way, and it will take about a week to arrive.

As for the food provided by the imperial court for disaster relief, because the imperial history of disaster relief in various places has not yet returned, it is also a matter of no shadow.

Xu Yingxu came several times a day and asked Zhu Gui for a solution.

In the end, Zhu Guixin said: "Go and contact the Mongols, this king is willing to do a business with them first." ”

"Mongols? But the decree has not yet come down, is it a bit too risky to do so? Xu Yingxu asked in surprise.

"If there is anything that the king will do with all his might, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the previous work will not only be done in vain, but also cause civil unrest."

Zhu Gui said in a serious tone.
