Chapter 104: Su Mengqing's "Surprise"
Everyone received Zhang Wuji and others, and then everyone got into the car and drove to the "palace" of Wuchang City.
After arriving at the gate of the palace, Huo Jia couldn't help but exclaim: "The palace of the Great Emperor of Middle-earth is indeed much more magnificent than our Persian one. ”
Zhao Min, who was sitting next to Huo Jia, chuckled and said, "This is shabby." If you want to talk about magnificence, it should be the imperial palace in the capital. It used to be the central capital of the Jin Kingdom, and after the Jin people entered the Central Plains, they would enjoy it better than the Central Plains people. ”
"It's a pity that the old palace of the Great Song Dynasty in Bianliang City, after years of war and turmoil, has been damaged a lot, although Wuji's brother has sent someone to rebuild it after he ascended the throne, but it is still a lot worse than what I painted on the 'Great Song Dynasty Bianjing Map' in my family's collection."
When the people's cars arrived in front of the palace, they were greeted by someone here.
And the person who greeted them this time was Su Mengqing, who came here in advance not long ago.
Just over a month ago, after Su Mengqing returned the Nine Yin True Scripture that Ding Minjun had searched from the extermination master Taizen room to the woman in the yellow shirt, he rushed to Jiangnan with his father Su Bancheng in advance.
However, when Zhang Wuji asked the reason, Su Mengqing just playfully said, "I'll surprise you."
But what this surprise was, Su Mengqing didn't say.
Although Zhang Wuji didn't know what Su Mengqing was doing, one thing he was sure of at the moment was that she would not harm herself.
After getting along for a while, Zhao Min suspected that Su Mengqing had taken a fancy to Zhang Wuji. also joked about this incident to Zhang Wuji.
But Zhang Wuji doesn't think so, he thinks that Su Mengqing wants to get more benefits from himself, such as becoming a "royal businessman" in the future, and the benefits he gets are more than 10 million? If it were himself, he would have "invested" in this way.
Zhang Wuji and the others got out of the car and came to Su Mengqing, who came to greet him.
Su Mengqing changed his cynicism at this time, but knelt down respectfully, and bowed three times and nine bows to Zhang Wuji. And said in his mouth: "The people's daughter Su Mengqing sees Your Majesty!" ”
Zhang Wuji didn't have anything to do with her, he said, "Sister Su, let's be even." I just don't know if Sister Su is waiting here for me to surprise me, or if she came to me specifically to 'ask for an account'? ”
Zhang Wuji still can't forget the incident of Bashu grain, and Su Mengqing is the first to pacify Bashu at the smallest cost, but now the treasury is really not very rich. If Su Mengqing came to "ask for debts", Zhang Wuji would have to find a way to "delay" it for two more years.
Su Mengqing stood up at this time and regained her former demeanor, she spread her hands with a smile and said, "Of course not." Why are you in a hurry? The later our emperor pays it off one day later, the more interest it will have. It's not a loss to me. ”
Zhang Wuji smiled: "Hehe, it's true. Okay, I'll pay off the money I owe you as soon as the Northern Expedition is over. I don't know what good news Sister Su brought us this time. ”
Su Mengqing took out a list from his arms at this time, and then handed it to Zhang Wuji.
Zhang Wuji took it and opened it, and everyone came over to watch.
This is a list of grains, this is the grain that the Su family received before, but they didn't have time to sell.
These grains have been stored in the warehouses in the south of the Yangtze River, but these warehouses are basically on Zhu Yuanzhang's territory.
These grains have been stored in the warehouses in the south of the Yangtze River, but these warehouses are basically on Zhu Yuanzhang's territory.
Su Mengqing took a lot of effort and found a lot of friends in the rivers and lakes to help, so he could hide from the world and ship it here from Zhu Yuanzhang's territory.
Su Mengqing said: "Your Majesty was worried about the matter of grain and grass before. Although there is not a lot of food here, I think it can meet the urgent needs for a while. ”
After Zhang Wuji finished reading it, he closed the list and asked; "Sister Su is really powerful, where did you get so much food?"
Su Mengqing replied: "The grain in Bashu before was enough after my father sold the treasures at hand. It's kind of luck. Bashu has a bumper harvest this year. As for the grain, it is old grain that was harvested last year. Zhang Shicheng asked us for trouble before, and we left in a hurry, so these grains were hidden in several large warehouses including Phoenix and Hangzhou. I managed to ship them all. ”
Zhao Min stepped forward at this time and said, "Sister Su's ability is not small. I remember that those places seem to be Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, and it must have taken a lot of effort for Sister Su to transport them. ”
Su Mengqing let out a sigh and replied, "That's true. If it weren't for my efforts over the years, I would have more friends on the rivers and lakes. Otherwise, it's a big problem. Along the way, there are these friends on the rivers and lakes to take care of, and it can be regarded as a thrill. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Wuji bowed to Su Mengqing and said, "Zhang Wuji has thanked Sister Su here." ”
Su Mengqing hurriedly stepped forward to stop Zhang Wuji, Su Mengqing said: "How can there be a courtier for the monarch in this world." ”
Zhang Wuji straightened up and said: "This is indeed not true, but I was born in the rivers and lakes, and it is better to treat friends on the rivers and lakes with etiquette on the rivers and lakes." What's more, with this food, our schedule for the Northern Expedition can also be brought forward. Sister Su's move is tantamount to saving the people from fire and water. You can afford to worship me. ”
Su Mengqing put her hands behind her back, smiled coquettishly and said, "Okay." In that case, I will accept this worship shamelessly. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Then the group returned to the makeshift palace.
And after entering the inner palace, there was a row in front of them to greet Zhang Wuji. The leader is the noble concubine Zhu Jiuzhen, followed by Zhaoyi Wu Qingying. And after Wu Qingying, it was Zhao Lingzhu. The other concubines stood in turn according to their ranks.
Since taking Hanzhong and Bashu, Zhao Lingzhu has also been picked up from Zhongnan Mountain. Today's Zhao Lingzhu, like everyone else, is wearing a palace dress. Although she is a wife, her actual age is not very large, and now she has a unique appearance after dressing up.
As for her daughter, according to the practice of the royal family, she is basically brought by a nursing mother. She is also a lot more leisurely.
Zhu Jiuzhen, Wu Qingying, and Zhao Lingzhu all knew each other, but they saw a group of women behind them. Yin Li said: "Brother Wuji, what a flower." Just go down to Jiangnan once, so much? ”
Zhao Min stepped forward to help Zhang Wuji and said, "This is also something that can't be helped. He is now not a man, but a monarch. As a monarch, of course, you have to think about things from a global perspective. ”
Zhou Zhiruo also said: "Hmm! Brother Wuji told me about this. At that time, he had just annexed Chen Youliang's forces, and the local officials needed to be appeased. So he let the women of the powerful families in these places enter the palace, and won them over by marriage to stabilize the Jingxiang land he had just obtained. ”
Zhao Min patted Yin Li's shoulder, and then said, "It's good to get used to it in the future." In the future, Brother Wuji is going to become the second Genghis Khan. When the time comes, there will be many beauties from various countries who will pay tribute and send princesses for marriage. If we were angry about all this little thing, we would be angry. ”
