"What? Ezhou? Lin Qingfeng is going to Ezhou? Take over Ezhou? ”

In the Three Princes' Mansion, Fan Renli's face was full of disbelief.

In contrast, Zhu Tai was a little excited.

Because Lin Bai sent him a letter, saying that he would go to Ezhou, take over everything in Ezhou, and put Ezhou New Town back on track.

If it's just like this, it doesn't matter how Zhu Tai is, what makes him excited, Lin Bai asked him to go with him, and said that he would cooperate with him and do a good job in Ezhou together, which can be regarded as compensation for his last transfer of Xiaoqi.

It is equivalent to supporting him, increasing his bargaining chips for him, and doing a good job in his political performance.

How could he not be thrilled by such a good thing.

What is the current situation in Ezhou, everyone in the court knows, if at this time, he can get Ezhou up, then it is undoubtedly a huge bargaining chip, so ......

"Uncle, what do you think? Will Lin Qingfeng's move be fraudulent? ”

Of course, excitement is excitement, and Zhu Tai can't help but be a little worried.

Fan Renli also frowned at this time and said, "It shouldn't be!" What is Lin Qingfeng's diagram? Taking over Ezhou at this time, isn't it asking for hardship? ”

Zhu Tai also nodded, and said, "This prince is also a little curious, so I wonder if Lin Qingfeng is cheating and wants to deal with this prince?" ”

Fan Renli glanced at him, his eyes were a little strange, and he said in his heart: Lin Qingfeng still needs to be so troublesome if he wants to deal with you? Moreover, the other party has that need?

It's not that he looks down on his nephew, just this prince of the Manchu Dynasty, there is no one who can fight at all.

Don't talk about princes, Your Majesty has hit a wall one after another, not to mention several princes.

Of course, he naturally didn't say this, but said: "Not necessarily, if he was still a prince before, it would have been possible to deal with His Highness, but now, it seems that it is not so necessary." ”

"Even if Lin Qingfeng wants to rebel, it is not His Highness who has to deal with it, but His Majesty."

Zhu Tai thought about it, it seemed like this.

The other party is not a prince anymore, and there is no so-called prince dispute between him and him for a long time.

"Why is that? Lin Qingfeng is so dignified, why did he take over this mess? Is it to show favor to this prince? Ready for the future? ”

Thinking of this possibility, Zhu Tai's eyes brightened.

The corners of Fan Renli's mouth twitched, and he was tired in his heart, so he almost didn't say: You don't pee on yourself.

But he said, "Perhaps! ”

"However, it is more likely to be reputation, the restart of Ezhou New Town was promoted by Lin Qingfeng, he promised in front of countless Ezhou people, but now it is a mess, probably because he is afraid that his reputation will be damaged."

Zhu Tai was a little incredulous and said, "Just because of this? ”

Fan Renli said: "Lin Qingfeng is a scholar after all, and he is comparable to Yasheng, a scholar like him usually regards his reputation as extremely important. ”

"What's more, the southwest has this strength, so it's not surprising that he wants to take over this mess."

"However, I'm a little curious, Your Majesty has blocked the southwest, and the supplies from the southwest can't enter the interior at all, and besides, he wants to take over Ezhou, can Your Majesty agree?"

"What can he do?"

His Majesty was resolute, since Dali came back, Zhu Tai wanted to lift the southwest blockade several times and get Lin Bai's support, but he was refused.

It is not enough to lift the blockade, and taking over Ezhou may be even more ......

Fan Renli thought thoughtfully, "I'm afraid this is the reason why Lin Qingfeng is looking for His Highness." ”

In fact, it is not only Fan Renli who is curious, but also Gu Linger.

At this moment, looking at the huge fleet heading in the direction of Ezhou, she asked, "Husband, can we go rashly like this?" What if the checkpoint ahead is not released? ”

This Nizi is indeed a little worried.

Because although the husband has informed His Majesty of organizing merchants and mobilizing materials this time, His Majesty has not replied, and the words of the husband have no meaning of asking for instructions, which is somewhat of a prelude to the first and then the prelude.

If the checkpoint is not released by then, it will be tantamount to working in vain.

Compared with her worries, Wu Qiaojun looked calm and said: "The husband is the king of the southwest, a dignified prince, who dares to stop him?" If you don't let it go, you have to let it go. ”

Gu Linger was stunned for a moment, as if this was the case, "However, what if His Majesty strictly forbids it?" The people below were afraid and did not dare to let it go without permission. ”

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Isn't there still you, the princess of the Wu Dynasty, when you take the lead, who dares to make a mistake?" ”

This!

Gu Linger was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled, "Is the husband ready to break through?" ”

Lin Bai pouted and said, "What else should I do?" ”

"Lao Zhu is an old stubborn and refuses to let him go, and you don't want your husband's reputation to be damaged, and besides, the husband promised those people and businessmen who invested in Ezhou that he just patted his ass and left, which is really unreasonable."

Many businessmen in Ezhou were trapped, and those who fled were some of them, and it was those who were more powerful.

But more small businessmen did not flee.

It's not that they don't want to, but they don't have enough strength, maybe out of trust in the big talent.

You must know that when Lin Bai established the Ministry of Commerce and proposed to improve the status of merchants, he attracted countless businessmen, and these businessmen spontaneously restarted Ezhou, all of which supported him.

Those businessmen who are not strong enough will put together, a few or even dozens, to undertake a project, all to help him restart Ezhou New City.

He still remembers the time when so many merchants gathered in front of his mansion, waiting to give him money.

At least half of these businessmen are trapped in Ezhou.

and the people of Ezhou, who also have great trust in him.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Bai has this trip, just for the sake of those businessmen and people who support him, no matter how stupid he is, he has to do it again.

Because the foundation of the southwest lies in the trust and support of merchants and people.

The Southwest has today, and it is also because of this.

This root cannot be lost.

Gu Linger said: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not appreciate it and obstruct it." ”

"Ling'er has communicated with those businessmen, and they all want to know what the relationship between her husband and His Majesty is all about, and they are very worried about the future of Ezhou."

There were various rumors before, so many businessmen fled Ezhou, and Ezhou also became a mess.

Now that Lin Bai said that he was going to Ezhou, it was normal for businessmen to be suspicious.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "That's why I'm looking for Zhu Tai......"

With Zhu Tai coming forward, Lao Zhu should have nothing to say, right? ”

Lao Zhu is nothing more than afraid that he will be in the limelight and threaten his status, this time he will not be in the limelight, and it will be okay to cheap Zhu Tai, a loser!

With Zhu Tai coming forward on behalf of the imperial court, the businessman does not have to worry about the future of Ezhou, and he can also make Lao Zhu feel at ease, in addition, it can be regarded as fulfilling the promise of supporting Zhu Tai, killing multiple birds with one stone.

Although it is a loss-making transaction no matter how you look at it, sometimes, a loss-making transaction has to be made.

Think of it as a dowry for Lao Zhu!

Lin Bai thought secretly.
