Chapter 12 Mortgage of work, not only food but also land!

Zhang Junlin gestured with the sickle in his right hand with his left hand, and then gestured at the captives who were busy leading the cart and driving the horses, and said with a very sincere expression: "The mortgage is the more than 50,000 captives of the palace and Western Chu, as well as all the people in Jinling. ”

Even Dong You couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard these words.

His Royal Highness might as well snatch it directly.

"Zhang Junlin! You're really going to rob it! ”

Jin Er blurted out.

Cha!

Zhang Junlin waved the long sickle in his hand and sank the tip of the knife into Jin Er's neck.

A wisp of blood slid down an artery in the neck.

Jin Er felt the hot blood flowing down, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to gasp.

I am afraid that if the tip of the knife is deeper, I will die.

Lost the majesty and domineering when he kept shouting just now.

"Taishi, some people call the prince by his name and are disrespectful to the royal family, what should I do?"

Zhang Junlin's subordinates showed mercy.

After all, this is not a battlefield, and the other party is just a slave who obeys orders and is not an enemy, and he has not yet reached the point of ignoring human life.

"A capital offense is a car split."

"Do you hear me clearly? If you dare to choke with this palace again, this palace will shut you up forever. ”

The moment Zhang Junlin withdrew the sickle, Jin Er sweated like rain.

When he came back to his soul, he hurriedly bowed at Zhang Junlin's feet and shouted "forgive your sins".

The remaining slaves also suddenly realized the identity gap between them and Zhang Junlin.

The Zhang Junlin in front of him is no longer the incompetent prince who can even step on their feet as slaves of powerful families.

It's the master who defeated Xiang Hong.

The prince of South Vietnam!

Someone who can kill and take them!

"Knock on His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Without waiting for Zhang Junlin's scythe to swing in front of them, all of them weakened their knees and fell to their knees.

Zhang Junlin faced the group of watchdogs who bullied the weak and feared the hard, sneered silently, and did not let them get up.

If you want to kneel, you can kneel.

"According to the number on the IOU, count the grain carts and pull them to the barracks."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"

Jin Er has a hard time to speak, and he complains of suffering, so he can only wipe his tears and pretend to be pitiful.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is asking for the lives of the slaves."

"Your life is worthless here in this palace, it is useless to come, and the mortgage that this palace says is not human life, but artificial."

As soon as this remark came out.

Including Dong You, everyone in South Vietnam was amazed.

However, the Western Chu captives, who were selling coolies and pulling carts to carry grain, thought of the grass they had cut for a day, and they seemed to have realized something, and their faces turned bitter.

No way?

Could it be that Zhang Junlin wanted them to go and mow the farmland for the South Vietnamese magnates?

In addition to fighting and grabbing grain, the prince of Nanyue wants to grow up in the fields, right?

"Your Highness, what do you mean by artificial mortgage?"

Although Dong You didn't understand, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Now that he and the prince are grasshoppers on a rope, he naturally doesn't want the prince to offend eighty percent of Jinling's powerful families in one go.

"It's true that this palace has borrowed grain, but this palace can't borrow it in vain, and this palace is not the kind of scoundrel."

Zhang Junlin's attitude is very religious.

However, no one present echoed the scene, so he could only continue to talk to himself.

"For example, the Chen family, the Xia family, the Jin family, and the creditors who have a large amount of cultivated land have tens of thousands of acres of cultivated land, but these families abandon the fields and flee, and when they are irrigated in April, if they do not weed and water, not only will the harvest of this season be wasted, but the next season may also be wasted."

Speaking of this, the slaves of each family showed regret on their faces, but they were helpless.

"It's better for this palace to borrow your old grain, for you to cultivate the farmland, when the situation in Jinling calms down, each family returns, you can get the same amount of new grain, this account does not need to be counted by the palace and you, you should also be clear, this palace really wants to borrow grain, not to grab grain."

The amount of grain borrowed from the silk silk was obtained by Zhang Junlin's tax-exempt acres of harvest.

Borrowing grain is not much less than harvesting.

"This ...... This...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have made it clear from the beginning, so that the slaves would not be scared and frightened. ”

Jin Er's eyes rolled.

I realized it was a good deal.

exchanged the old grain for the new grain, and gave Zhang Junlin a favor in vain, and won a good reputation in front of His Majesty.

The host will definitely agree!

"So, are you going to cooperate with Hongu or continue to make trouble?"

Zhang Junlin turned the long sickle in his hand.

He didn't need to explain anything to a slave.

Because what the prince of the prison country said is equivalent to a holy decree!

In the cold moonlight, the blade of the long sickle shimmered with a cold edge.

You look at me, slaves, and I look at you, and finally accept your fate.

Anyway, if you don't cooperate, you will be robbed, and maybe you will be beheaded.

It's better to take the IOU and explain the situation to the owner, there is still a glimmer of life.

"Slaves cooperate!"

After receiving a satisfactory reply, a sneering smile rose at the corner of Zhang Junlin's mouth.

Dong You was close, and when he saw His Royal Highness the Prince's smile, he always felt that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was holding something bad in his stomach.

But this business of borrowing grain to repay grain cannot be denied openly and fairly......

"Taishi, remember to write a letter of resignation to Your Majesty, telling him that the remaining cultivated land of the rich farmers who have pulled all the grain away will also be taken over by the palace for the time being, and how to distribute the grain output will be decided when Your Majesty returns."

Zhang Junlin finally revealed his true intentions.

Not only food, but also land.

While emptying the white wolf to the powerful family, he also has to take the opportunity to obtain some arable land.

Among the rich and rich peasants who went north, many of them moved with their families, and they could not afford to return to them.

In other words, the cultivated land of these rich families and rich peasants would be merged with the cultivated land of the nearby powerful families.

And now it is about to become the cultivated land of the royal family, and His Majesty is naturally happy to see it!

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old minister will go after counting the amount of borrowed grain."

"Hmm...... You are busy with yours, you can leave when you run out of food, remember to say hello to your master on behalf of the palace. ”

Zhang Junlin didn't tell Dong You.

He didn't even think about letting the Dog Emperor return to Jinling.

Therefore, he will have the final say on who and how to plant the cultivated land that he has taken over.

"In this era when there were still slaves, it was too unrealistic to distribute seeds directly to the peasants, and it was not conducive to the results of my farming."

Some things have to be done slowly.

First of all, they were rented out along with the fields of the powerful families.

There are five or six hundred thousand acres of fertile land near Jinling, and when everyone finishes cutting the grass and watering the ground, he may be able to break through to the seventh order.

When the time comes, if you negotiate with Xichu to return the prisoners, you can be more confident.

"The power of supervising the country is really easy to use, at this time, the good news should have reached the ears of the Dog Emperor, and he will definitely send someone to find out the truth."

Zhang Chengqian was seriously suspicious and sick, and he would definitely send someone close to him to investigate.

Most likely, it was the prince who wanted to compete with him for the crown prince.

Fortunately.

He didn't have a good relationship with those princes.

"I don't know which unlucky guy will come and be used as a pawn by me, hehehe."

Dong You, who was counting the numbers, heard the treacherous laughter of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his back.

muttered secretly: "I don't know who will be calculated by His Highness again." ”

This year's prince is not easy to bring.

He wants to master the shameless scoundrel technique as soon as possible.

Try to keep up with His Highness's train of thought.

……

"Drive!"

"Drive!"

At dawn, the luxurious carriage began to gallop again on the crowded official road.

When you encounter someone, you hit someone, you encounter a horse, and you startle a horse.

This made Su Chanyi and Bai Zhi, who had finally caught up two miles behind, only stop and continue to treat the injured passers-by.

and pursued for two more hours.

It wasn't until noon that they entered a county town, the second prince and the eighth prince stopped the carriage, and they finally caught up.

"Bai Zhi, remember, we are just doctors passing by by accident, and the medical skills are ancestral, don't expose yourself as people from Baicao Valley."

"Miss, you've said it several times, I remember it."

Bai Zhi anxiously probed at the inn where the two princes and their entourage had entered.

The smell of the food inside wafted out, and if they didn't go in again, wouldn't they waste the lunch if the other party finished eating?

"It's been hard for you to take me along the way, and I'm in for a treat this time."

Su Chanyi saw Bai Zhi's greedy saliva flowing outward, and her cold eyes were full of smiles.

"Okay! Thank you, Miss! ”

Bai Zhi was not polite.

I found an empty table nearby and sat down, and ordered all eight signature dishes of the inn in one go.

Seeing that there were only two of them, the second child repeatedly asked if he would leave the vegetables to pack.

After confirming that it was correct, he glanced at the two of them strangely with cloudy eyes, and hurriedly staggered to the back kitchen.

Su Chanyi glanced up at the two princes sitting by the window on the second floor, and looked at the dozens of guards who surrounded the second floor like iron buckets, frowning slightly.

If you don't report the name of Baicao Valley and go directly to the two princes, you will definitely be suspected of your intentions.

If I don't go to the mountain, I can only let the mountain come to me.

"The two girls waited, the back kitchen was cooking the meals of the distinguished guests, and the shopkeeper specially instructed the little one to bring some pastries to cushion the stomachs of the two of them."

The second child in the running hall took out a plate of plum blossom cake and osmanthus cake.

Although the appearance is not good, and the presentation is also very chaotic, but the weight is sincere.

Bai Zhi stretched out her hand and was about to grab the pastry, but saw that the five fingers of the young lady's right hand suddenly clasped on the wrist of the pastry plate in the running hall.

"Girl, you, what are you...... Do what? ”

The second child was startled and tried hard to break free.

However, when Su Chanyi lifted the veil and saw the face that was not very real but could still feel the beauty, two blushes appeared on his immature face.

The fairy-like beauty took the initiative to take his hand?

Could it be that the mythical story is true, the fairy from the sky fell in love with him, a hard-working ordinary person, and wanted to marry him and have children to help him live a good life together?

"Childe, you're sick."

Su Chanyi spoke softly, but she was categorical.

"And he's not lightly ill."

What should you do if you encounter a fairy who takes the initiative to grab your wrist, but deliberately scolds you for being sick?
