Chapter 66: The Looting of Ordnance
Listening to Su Chen's words that were neither humble nor arrogant, a hint of appreciation flashed in King Zhao's eyes.
"Since the little brother is not in a hurry to enjoy the Spring Festival, please take a seat."
King Zhao spoke again and again, and sat down on the chair.
And Su Chen was not hypocritical, and sat directly opposite King Zhao.
King Zhao picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Chen.
"What does the little brother think of the world today?"
Su Chen took the tea, put it to his lips and took a sip, and said after a long groan.
"The war between soldiers and horses is not stopped, and the people are not able to make a living, so it should be a troubled time."
King Zhao seemed to agree with this sentence, nodded and continued to ask.
"What does the little brother think of my governance in Gangnam Province?"
Listening to King Zhao's profound words, Su Chen did not hide it much, but replied directly.
"Jiangnan Province is quite good, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and almost no one will worry about their livelihood, just like a paradise in this troubled world."
King Zhao laughed after hearing this, and seemed to be very satisfied with Su Chen's answer.
"You say, if the whole world is like me, Jiangnan Province, can the people no longer suffer from this displacement?"
King Zhao is a human spirit as a whole.
First, he used his personal career interests to test Su Chen.
But seeing that he was not very good, he began to use the people of the whole world to try to kidnap Su Chen morally.
But Su Chen still shook his head at this.
"Not necessarily."
King Zhao frowned slightly.
"Why did the little brother say that?"
"I have always believed that the people will suffer when they prosper, and the people will suffer when they die, no matter whether the entire Chu Yuan is unified or not, and whether the whole world can be unified or not, it is the people who suffer."
Su Chen's words made King Zhao speechless for a while, frowning and thinking about what Su Chen said.
After a while, King Zhao took a deep look at Su Chen.
Then he spoke slowly.
"In that case, then tell me what kind of business you want to do in my Gangnam Province."
Su Chen thought for a moment and then spoke.
"First of all, I was allowed to set up a factory in Gangnam Province and sell perfume to the outside world, and in addition, I wanted to open a restaurant in Gangnam Province."
King Zhao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and then said with a smile in his tone.
"Go on, if it's just ordinary business, maybe you don't need to be so troublesome."
Su Chen grinned, and then spoke.
"The prince is really smart, in fact, the purpose is actually to ask the prince for an official token, so that you can save those heavy freight."
"Hahaha......"
King Zhao instantly laughed, and then scolded Su Chen with a smile.
"You kid, not only are you making a lot of money in my Jiangnan Province, but you also want to ask for an official order to smuggle goods to other counties, aren't you too greedy?"
"The prince's words are wrong, and if I do this, it will also drive the economy of our Jiangnan Province."
King Zhao looked at Su Chen with a smile and did not speak.
He kept playing with the white jade wrench on his thumb, as if he was thinking about something.
Su Chen didn't open his mouth to urge, but silently waited for King Zhao's answer.
After a while, King Zhao spoke slowly.
"The official order can be given to you."
Su Chen was not happy, but looked at King Zhao and waited for the latter to continue speaking, because Su Chen knew in his heart that there must be conditions attached to this.
However, the imperial court stipulated that only one official order was allowed to be issued every year, and the purpose of this official decree was originally for the convenience of officials from all over the country.
If you want to get this official order, I have to get you an official position, but as the saying goes, if you have a position in your position, should you do something beneficial for this Jiangnan Province with this official order? ”
Su Chen's complexion changed after hearing this, good guy, this King Zhao really has a saying, and he put him on the moral high ground when he talked and laughed.
Su Chen kept thinking in his mind, as long as there is no morality, he will not be kidnapped by morality, but this King Zhao does not see rabbits and eagles.
He must get some benefits, he shouldn't be able to value this money, so what should he do?
In fact, this official order Su Chen is not necessary, but if he has it, he can save a lot of freight when his goods go to Tiannan and Haibei.
Su Chen really didn't want to give all the money he had worked so hard to give to those big corrupt officials to raise concubines.
Just as Su Chen was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Zao Wou-Ki frowned, and then strode over.
"Bastard, didn't I tell you ......"
Before Zao Wou-Ki's scolding could be spoken, the person who knocked on the door whispered a few words in Zao Wou-ki's ear.
Zao Wou-ki's face immediately changed after hearing what the comer said.
"What!"
Zhao Wuji hurriedly came to King Zhao's side, and he didn't care that Su Chen was still on the side at the moment.
Directly knelt on one knee and said, clenching his fists.
"Lord Wang, King Xuchang led the army to attack the Nanjun armory, hijacked the ordnance and took it away......"
"What!"
Hearing this, King Zhao, who was still smiling a second ago, immediately got up angrily.
His eyes were also filled with cold killing intent.
"Hao Ruwang is looking for death!"
Su Chen looked at this scene, and then sighed slowly.
Then he opened his mouth and said to King Zhao.
"Lord Wang, how much is this ordnance worth?"
Hearing this, King Zhao turned his head to look at Su Chen, and then spoke.
"This can't be measured by value, to be honest, even if you lose 100,000 taels of gold, the king won't frown, but this weapon is ......"
King Zhao's words were not finished, and Su Chen also knew what King Zhao wanted to say.
To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than a matter of face, and the Hao Ruwang in King Zhao's mouth is the King of Xuchang.
is also a rebel and thief, and he has no good intentions to rob the ordnance.
Thinking of this, Su Chen seemed to have made some decision, and said to King Zhao.
"Lord Wang, I am willing to help Lord Wang Ye get those ordnance back."
Hearing this, King Zhao's frowning brows eased a little, and he was not surprised that Su Chen would be able to do martial arts.
for he already knew that he had slain the man of the inn outside the city.
Then King Zhao spoke.
"Okay, you will go with Zao Wou-ki, if you help this king retrieve the weapon, I will give you the official order."
"Yes!"
Su Chen and Zao Wou-Ki said yes together, and then Su Chen followed Zao Wou-Ki and walked out.
When he walked out of the house, he found that Zhao Wenyu was pacing back and forth not far away, and next to him was the Ling'er girl.
At this moment, Miss Ling'er had already taken off her veil, revealing her beautiful face.
As soon as he saw Su Chen and Zao Wou-Ki coming out of the house, Zhao Wenyu immediately stepped forward and asked what had happened.
Su Chen didn't say much, but explained to Zhao Wenyu.
"I'll go and help the prince do some things first, and when I come back, I'll go to the palace to find you."
"You ......"
Without waiting for Zhao Wenyu to finish speaking, Su Chen followed Zhao Wuji and left Jiangyun Pavilion in a hurry.
