After listening to the words of the two, His Royal Highness the King of Chu concluded: "So let's talk about a word - either join me or be eliminated?" ”

"It can be understood that way." Shen Rong and Gu Yuanchen nodded.

"Then the king will know what to do." Zhu Zhen was cheerful in front of him, got up and said to them: "Hurry up and go home and explain, and we will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The two of them were busy.

"Senior brother is a little troublesome here, I have to wait for the will to come down before I can take office, but it's a pity that I will be absent from this Zhenjiang conference." Zhu Zhen patted Han Yike's shoulder.

"I ......" Han Yike wanted to say, I haven't agreed yet.

But before the words came out, the sixth child hurriedly said: "Don't worry, it won't wait too long, and it's just a matter of the New Year." ”

"No, I ......" Kuaikou Yushi was blocked uncomfortably today.

"Oh, senior brother still has to take care of the food?" The sixth smiled and said, "What about our hundred and ten, how embarrassing it is." ”

"I can't handle it." Han Yike finally held back a complete sentence.

"Hahaha, I'm kidding you." Zhu Zhen laughed and said, "I know that my senior brother is as incorruptible as water, and he will not eat you." ”

"Gone." He waved his hand at him and staggered away.

"You ......" Han Yike didn't say anything about refusal until the end. I...... Alas......"

~~

After the brothers went to the ancestral tomb to worship again, they went straight to Zhenjiang.

Zhenjiang, located on the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, is the only way for the Grand Canal to reach the sea. It is connected to Huainan on the top, the sea on the left, and Shenjing on the front, which is the first key point of the downstream. The Six Dynasties called it 'Beifu', and the Song people saw it as 'the gateway to western Zhejiang'.

After Boss Zhu settled in Jinling, Zhenjiang became the first county of Jifu, and the five prefectures of Yingtian, Taiping, Ningguo, and Guangde undertook the main logistics and military support in the process of unifying the world.

Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Boss Zhu has repeatedly commended these five prefectures as the 'land of rejuvenating kings', and also gave special preferential treatment in taxes and labor. Therefore, the people of Wufu Prefecture have a lighter burden and a richer life, and their support for Boss Zhu is also the highest.

This is in huge contrast with the five prefectures of Su, Song, Chang, Jia, and Hu, which originally supported Zhang Shicheng, and the hardships after entering the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the contradictions between the two places are becoming more and more serious. The people of the five prefectures in western Zhejiang scolded the five prefectures of Jinling for having no character and acting for the tiger, and they were not real Jiangnan people. The people of the five prefectures of Jinling scolded the five prefectures of western Zhejiang for being rebellious ministers and thieves without a king and a father.

From entering Layue, those authentic Jiangnan households in the five prefectures of western Zhejiang went north to Zhenjiang one after another, and came to this unlucky place where they hated each other.

Approaching the end of the year, the inns and hotels of all sizes in Zhenjiang Fucheng were closed at this time in previous years, but this year they were all full. This naturally aroused the alarm of the government.

So Cao Dabin, the prefect of Zhenjiang, ordered Zhou Shizhong, the magistrate of Dantu County, who attached Guo, to quickly figure out what was going on. Zhenjiang is the throat of Gyeonggi, and stability is the first priority, so you must not disturb Shenjing!

Zhou Zhixian did not dare to slack off when he received the order, and planned to send a few Jiangnan barbarians to interrogate him, but his friends persuaded him that those Jiangnan people who came to Zhenjiang were hugging and making generous moves. They didn't have enough to cover the local sisters, and they also spent a lot of money to invite famous prostitutes from Jinling and Yangzhou to spend time together.

The devil knows what the consequences will be if you offend them, so let's be polite to them.

Zhou Zhixian is very good, so he asked his friends to find out which of these Jiangnan barbarians have the most identity. He was going to invite them to the yamen for tea.

Who knows that it doesn't matter if the friends don't ask, they are shocked when they ask.

Su, Song, Chang, Jia, Hu, plus Hangzhou, Ningbo have all come with heads and faces.

What is the Suzhou Lu family, the Shanghai Tang family, the Songjiang Zheng family, the Qingyuan Ni family, the Fushan Cao family, the Hangzhou Xie family...... And all of them are heads of households.

"I'm a good girl, these immortals sit in the temple on weekdays, waiting for others to come to the door to burn incense. What kind of Buddha is this, bringing them together? Zhou Zhixian was stunned, and he didn't dare to hold it up now. Hurry up and have someone deliver the greeting post and prepare to visit them one by one.

He knows very well that whether it is the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, or the current Ming Dynasty, these wealthy gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are all figures with their hands and eyes, and they can even influence the formulation of national policies, overturn the decrees of the imperial court, and decide the fate of officials...... Although the current saint not only did not give them face, but also did his best to suppress them, the contest between the two sides is far from the moment when the winner is completely decided.

Anyway, Zhou Zhi County, a small county magistrate, would not dare to offend these immortals.

He first visited Lu Zhonghe, a famous family in Suzhou, the Lu family is the first family in Jiangdong, and his children have entered the prime minister in the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, and they are very prosperous.

Of course, in this dynasty, the Lu family was also seriously suppressed by Boss Zhu, although the prestige is high, but it is actually difficult to deputy, otherwise the dignified head of the Lu family will not see him as a small magistrate.

After chatting between the two sides, Zhou Zhixian learned that it was His Royal Highness the King of Chu who sent Laba posts and invited them to drink Laba porridge.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, how old is he?" Zhou Zhixian was incredulous when he heard this, and immediately realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly remedied: "What does Xia Guan mean is that His Royal Highness the King of Chu invites you to drink porridge for no reason?" ”

"Huh." Lu Zhonghe smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, the old man is also strange. said that he wanted to talk about the reopening of the city, but our Lu family has always been an heirloom, and Suzhou is not close to the sea, what can we talk about? ”

"Then why did His Royal Highness the King of Chu choose Zhenjiang?" Zhou Zhixian asked again.

"Maybe it's not convenient for so many people to enter Beijing. Who knows. Lu Zhonghe shook his head.

He and Zhou Zhixian have never known each other in their lives, how can they talk deeply? So it's all about talking about it.

Seeing that there was nothing useful to ask again, and the other party had no interest in making friends with him, Zhou Zhixian, who had a hot face and a cold ass, said goodbye.

Then go to the next one and continue posting......

~~

Zhenjiang prefect yamen.

"In this way, the lower officials visited a circle, and everyone was in the same mouth, saying that His Royal Highness the King of Chu had placed Laba stickers and invited them to eat Laba porridge." The hard-working attached Guo Zhouzhi County, returning to the prefect's great humanity:

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu called them here, it should be to talk about the reopening of the market. Because I didn't know who to talk to, I simply called them all. ”

"Hmm." Governor Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then as long as we receive His Highness well and boil Laba porridge for them, it should be fine." ”

Saying that, he smiled at Zhou Zhixian, and the latter's heart skipped half a beat, and he knew if there was anything good.

"The Yangzhou Mansion has sent a note to the Mansion, and on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the five Highnesses will arrive in Zhenjiang."

Saying that, he smiled and said, "I have to work hard Brother Zhou Xian to do a good job of reception." ”

"Huh? Five Highnesses? Isn't it just the King of Chu? "Zhou Zhixian wants to cry without tears, it is really not cultivated in his previous life, and Zhixian is attached to Guo!
