When Zheng Hu returned to Dayuan Island, it was already the third day, in the afternoon.

Zheng Long, who originally thought that he was coming back with good news, suddenly wondered when he saw his sad face: "What's the matter, second child?" Could it be that it didn't work out?

Even if it doesn't work out, it doesn't have to be like this, right?

With our power, since his surname Li doesn't give us face, then let's teach him a lesson and let him know what the Zheng family is! ”

"Big brother! Other! Big brother, let's go in and say, go in and say! ”

As soon as he heard that his eldest brother was going to reform the army, Zheng Hu was suddenly frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover his eldest brother's mouth, and then pushed his eldest brother into a private room and whispered the information he got in the past.

When Zheng Long learned the true background of the Reform Army from his second brother, he was dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to say the arrogant words just now.

"Then second, what should we do now!

Originally, the imperial court was able to let our Zheng family, that is because your brother and we have so many fleets in ourselves, and we feed those officials every year, and the above does not know, which has allowed us to develop to the current situation, and even directly occupy Dayuan Island.

But now that we take the initiative to send it to the door, the upper authorities must know our existence, which one can tolerate our existence, do you think that the imperial court is already sending troops to take us! ”

Zheng Long was a little panicked.

Don't look at his majesty on the sea, to all merchant ships, everyone must listen to him.

But from the very beginning of being a pirate, he never dared to go against the court, and as soon as something involved in the court, he recognized it quickly!

Zheng Hu sometimes can't figure out the strange brain circuit of his eldest brother.

Seeing that his eldest brother was panicked again, Zheng Hu slapped himself in the face helplessly, and had to hurriedly explain: "Don't worry, big brother, I have asked, the imperial court has no intention of doing anything with us at present, the Huns just left not long ago, which one of them is busy restoring the livelihood of the people in the north and laying out the south."

There is simply no time and no manpower to trouble us right now.

It's just that now, according to which one of them goes on like this, the rich businessmen and families along the coast have been cleaned up so much, and our income this year is ......."

"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter! Your eldest brother and I have been preparing a lot over the years.

Now our people have opened up half of the land of Dayuan Island, and the land that has been reclaimed now alone is enough for more than 100,000 of us to eat.

Besides, the lack of merchant ships is not the same.

Coupled with the savings of previous years, it is still no problem for us to maintain ourselves. Zheng Long said with confidence.

Zheng Hu's brows were still deeply locked: "But big brother, we can't always do this." ”

"No...... No......"

Zheng Long shook his head, and had some calculations in his heart.

……

Bianjing, the Imperial Palace.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Tianfu County, saying that the Zheng family has contacted them and wants them to let those landlords and gentry go.

He also took out a million taels of silver and tens of thousands of stone of grain every month as a thanksgiving gift. ”

"One million taels of silver, and ten thousand stone of grain per month!"

Zhao Jun shook his head with emotion: "It's really fucking rich!" ”

Wang Huaien was silent on the side.

After a moment of silence, Wang Huaien asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, do you need to make arrangements?" ”

Zhao Jun shook his head: "No, let some spies in, now the imperial court is not capable of managing the sea, after all, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce is all merchant ships, and we haven't taken other routes, so it's better to let the Zheng family continue to be at sea first than to be occupied by others."

Wait for me to solve the domestic affairs, and then take time to deal with the Zheng family. ”

"No!"

Wang Huaien nodded, understanding what his emperor meant.

Zhao Jun asked again: "Where did Huo Qubing and them go?" ”

Wang Huaien immediately said: "At this time period, I have just entered Nanyang County, but at this moment, the weather is cold, and the road is not easy to walk, I am afraid that General Huo and they will arrive in Beijing later than the scheduled time." ”

Hearing this, the strategy turned his head to look out the window, the thick snow had already covered a pine and cypress in the Funing Palace into white, and it was clear that the palace had just been cleaned up at noon.

This shows how heavy the snow is now.

Thinking of this snow, Zhao Jun immediately asked: "How are the people in the city arranged, what about those people who have no ability to work?"

It's such a cold day, don't have an accident! ”

Wang Huaien hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the people in the city have already let Feiyun Commercial Bank sell low-priced coal in the name of the emperor."

As for those refugees who fled and had no ability to work and could only rely on alms, they had all been taken back by the almshouse, and they would never be allowed to freeze to death in this ice and snow. ”

"That's good!"

Zhao Jun nodded reassuringly, looking at the heavy snow that was still falling outside the window, his thoughts couldn't help but be a little remote, in previous years, at this time, he spent the winter in the palace.

Unexpectedly, now he has returned to the palace and sat in this position.

The things of this world always surprise me!

Sighing, Zhao Jun Huoran got up: "Wang Companion, get ready, let's go to Kunning Palace, call the Queen Mother and the Imperial Sister-in-law, today we are in Kunning Palace Shabu mutton hot pot!" ”

"No!"

Wang Huaien hurriedly went down to make arrangements, and the people who notified him and those who were preparing to fight were all hurriedly busy.

After about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Juncai finally sat on the royal bowl and swayed towards Kunning Palace.

The junction of Nanyang County and Liaobei County!

The heavy snow has dyed the surrounding world white, and the thick snow has directly sunk people's calves deep into it.

The cold wind is blowing, only drilling into the cracks on people's bodies, making people can't help but shiver!

A group of more than a dozen vehicles marched with difficulty on the official road.

Seeing that the wind in the sky was getting stronger and stronger, and there were more snowflakes entrained, the curtain of the leading carriage was suddenly lifted, and a middle-aged man poked his head out and asked the red-robed knight in front of him.

"General Huo, how far is it from the nearest town? We don't want to spend the night in the wilderness, do we?

If we really spend the night in the wilderness in this weather, I'm afraid our group will be reduced! ”

The knight in front heard the voice and turned around, and when he saw the middle-aged man who was speaking, he immediately smiled and said, "Jiang Junshou don't worry, there are still more than two miles before we can reach Qiushui Town!"

Jiang Junshou will rest for a while, and he will be there soon! ”

That's right, the two people who spoke were none other than Huo Quai, who had entered Beijing.

This trip not only included Huo Qubing and the captives who were going to be brought into Bianjing.

Even Jiang He and other high-ranking officials from Yunzhou County also came with him.

They also received orders from Zhao Jun.

It was a hectic time to leave, but fortunately they quickly found someone who could replace them, otherwise they wouldn't have had time to come to Bianjing.

Hearing Huo Qubing's answer, Jiang He relieved himself, put down the curtain and sat back in the car.

And the team finally saw the town with faint lights not far away when it was getting dark!

Everyone's faces suddenly showed joy, and they finally didn't have to sleep in the wild!
