Chapter 865: The Dead Don't Let Go Either
"Your method is good, which not only restricts officials from 'picking their sons' to leave, but also curbs the extravagance in society. It's really good!" After listening to Li Zijun's explanation, the sixth prince nodded incessantly:
"But from what I know about you kid, there are definitely more 'flower intestines' in your stomach than that, you must have something else in mind. Don't hide it today, say it all, and make me happy!"
"If you want to be 'happy', then let's stop here today, because if I say this next thing, you will definitely scold me!"
"Hehe, stinky boy, hang your brother and my appetite, don't you believe it?"
"Don't, don't, I'll just say it!"
"This time, I'm going to hit the dead with my mind and give them an 'inheritance tax'!"
As Li Zijun expected, as soon as he said this, the face of the sixth prince immediately sank. Although the sixth prince didn't say anything, Li Zijun saw a trace of displeasure on his face!
"Leave me alone, keep talking!"
"I will set a relatively high base quota, below which it will be exempted, and the above part will be levied at a rate of 25 to 30 percent!
"Ed, don't say it, you let me be quiet first!" The sixth prince suddenly interrupted Li Zijun, and then he closed his eyes in pain.
"Your Highness, are you okay?" This change of the sixth prince startled Li Zijun, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern.
"I'm fine!" After a long time, the sixth prince let out a long breath:
"It's ridiculous that I'm in your twenties, but when it comes to this way of governing the country, I don't even have the qualifications to be your student!
"Your Highness, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" Li Zijun smirked. Gently rubbed his shoulder.
"Absolutely not! You kid don't have to pretend to be stupid with me, I know very well that today you just let me see the tip of the iceberg, and you kid has more than enough things in his stomach!"
"But if you don't want to say it, I won't ask, I'll just tell you one thing: my brother thinks that you are the most suitable person to take the helm of Dongyu in the future! No matter what you want to do in the future, as long as you can trust your brother. Brother will definitely charge forward for you, and there will never be the slightest ambiguity!" the sixth prince looked at Li Zijun and solemnly made his assurance.
"Thank you, Sixth Brother!" Li Zijun's heart was hot, and he changed his title to the sixth prince in a flash.
As a result, the relationship between the two has taken a step forward, and the scope of discussion has become more and more extensive. And at this time, the two finally had the feeling of 'hating' each other late!
It's a bit of a pity that there is not much left on this road, and there are only a few days of effort. They came to the boundary under the jurisdiction of Pingyao County.
"Ed, you stay here, I'll go to Wu'an!" At the moment when the carriage was about to stop, the sixth prince pressed Li Zijun's arm.
"But"
"Don't do it, it's not an act of courage to carry heavy burdens when I go to Wu'an! Pingyao is located between Wu'an and Yongkang, and both sides can be taken care of. I don't think the plague has much to do with the Cult of the Dark Moon, but I'm afraid they'll take advantage of it. If that's the case, Yongkang is Kent and Fred's last lifeline. I don't have to worry about the others, I can only hand over Yongkang to you!Please!" he said. The sixth prince shook Li Zijun's hand heavily.
"Your Highness, don't worry, as long as I am here, Ogden can only be a nightmare for the Fengqi Empire!" Li Zijun's expression also became serious, and he assured the sixth prince very solemnly.
"Okay! take care!" the sixth prince smiled slightly. After patting Li Zijun on the shoulder, he jumped out of the carriage and led the other team that had long been separated, and continued to set off towards Wu'an!
After this period of contact, Li Zijun actually had a trace of attachment to the sixth prince and looked at his back. Li Zijun didn't move his feet for a long time!
"Young Master, it's not too early, shouldn't we get in touch with the defenders in front first?" The others didn't dare to say anything, and the monkey came behind Li Zijun and asked in a low voice.
"You can do it!" Li Zijun didn't reply, just waved his hand lightly.
"Yes!"
"Wait, monkey, tell all of us that from now on all you drink water, you must boil it, at least cold boiling water, and eat what is cooked and rotten, and never eat it raw!
"Twenty whips, isn't it too ruthless? Young master, we still have to count on them for disaster relief!" the monkey pointed to the strong men who had been mobilized, and said a little unbearably.
"Special decree in special times!" I admit that this order is indeed a bit harsh, but in order for them all to return alive, I must recite this infamy!
"Yes!" The monkey waited for a while this time, and when he saw that Li Zijun had no more instructions, he turned around and left.
"I don't know what the situation is on Manteqiu's side, I hope he's doing well!" After the monkey left, Li Zijun's figure suddenly appeared in Manteqiu's mind, and he couldn't help muttering a few words to himself in a low voice.
Before leaving, the six princes, Li Zijun and Manteqiu had already divided labor, because Manteqiu set off earlier, he would be the first to rush to Wu'an County, which was far away, Li Zijun was the follow-up support, and the original task of the sixth prince was to be responsible for dispatching supplies and directing Pingyao officials to treat the victims.
At this moment, the sixth prince and Li Zijun exchanged tasks, and Li Zijun couldn't help but feel a little worried.
At this moment, the monkey came over with the general in charge of blockading Pingyao.
"Mo Lun, why are you?" Seeing the person coming, Li Zijun was slightly stunned, and immediately greeted him with a face full of surprise.
"Greetings to the prince!" Seeing Li Zijun again, Mo Lun was also very excited, and he immediately knelt down.
"What are you doing, get up!" Li Zijun grabbed Mo Lun's arms with one hand and lifted him up directly.
"Is Daddy Clifford's health okay lately?" As soon as the words came out, Li Zijun's eyes once again appeared in front of him when he fought side by side with Clifford and Moren in Ogden.
In order to seize the ultimate control of Ogden, Father Clifford became a complete waste, and Moron, who was already a great swordsman at that time, also lost three fingers. Recalling all this, Li Zijun's eyes couldn't help but be sour!
"I'm tired of worrying about the prince, my father's health has improved a lot, and he was still talking about you a few days ago!" Speaking of this, Mo Lun's eyes also turned red.
To be honest, I should have gone to see my dad a long time ago, but on the one hand, I was really a little busy, and on the other hand, I was also embarrassed to go to see him, we fought so badly! I'm sorry for my dad and those comrades-in-arms back then, I really don't have the face to meet them!" Li Zijun shook his head sadly as he said.
"Lord Wang, you are too worried! Although we suffered heavy losses in the first battle of Ogden, after all, we successfully captured the 'No. 1 Fortified City in the Youlan Continent' and completely reversed our passive situation against the Fengqi Empire! Compared to this, we all feel that those losses are worth it! And they are necessary!"
"You may not know that in the south today, those of us who fought in the Battle of Ogden will be treated as heroes wherever we go! All of us are proud to have fought in the Battle of Ogden and fought alongside you!"
"Really?"
"Don't dare to deceive the prince!"
"In this way, then I really want to go back and see them!" After listening to Mo Lun's words, Li Zijun's mood finally relaxed a little.
"Don't be 'Prince' or 'Prince', it sounds uncomfortable! Don't forget, you also served as my bodyguard, like a monkey, call me 'Young Master'!"
"Do you remember?" Mo Lun thought that Li Zijun had forgotten this past, but when he heard Li Zijun mention it again, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"I'm not old or eighty yet! Not to mention, you have been by my side during the battle of Ogden, your three fingers. Morun, I owe you!"
"Young Master!"
"Okay, let's not talk about this! Why are you here? Haven't you been in the Southern Legion all the time, why did you suddenly take care of local affairs?" Li Zijun thought that Mo Lun had been sent to the local army, and his face immediately sank.
"No, no, the little ones are still in the Southern Legion. The reason why he appeared here this time was entirely because of General Kemp's assignment. After the plague appeared in Wu'an and Pingyao, General Camp was worried that this was a conspiracy by the Fengqi Empire against Ogden. So, with His Majesty's consent, he sent three small troops. The first is to assist the local authorities in sealing off the disaster area and treating the victims, and the second is to ensure the absolute safety of Yongkang County, the last lifeline of Ogden!" Mo Lun saw that Li Zijun had misunderstood, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain.
"I see, General Camp really has a heart!" Hearing that Mo Lun's position had not changed, Li Zijun nodded slightly.
"Is there any movement over there in Yongkang?" Li Zijun pondered for a while, looked up at Mo Lun and asked.
"The little one just got the news from there, and everything is normal. Young Master, did you say that it was really possible for the Fengqi Empire to attack Ogden?"
"Under normal circumstances, this is unlikely!" Mo Lun can be regarded as 'his own person', Li Zijun did not use those official words and clichés to prevaricate him, but directly told him his thoughts and judgments.
"At this moment, Ogden's soldiers are well fed, don't say that there is no abnormality in Yongkang, that is, there is really something unexpected there, with Ogden's current strength and daily reserves, it will be difficult for the Fengqi Empire to take it in a short period of time!" Li Zijun saw that Mo Lun seemed to be a little worried, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile. (To be continued.) )
