Chapter 17 Planning and Expansion
Ruyang Palace.
When Lin Ziming and Zhao Min came to the palace, the palace was no longer as peaceful as a few days ago, but was accepted by the officers and soldiers.
"I've seen the county lord. ”
Although Zhao Min's current status is not as good as before, he is still the lord of Shuzhong, and it is far from being something that these little people can easily offend.
"I should have no problem going in and holding what I used to have. Zhao Min looked at the leading captain and said.
When the leading lieutenant saw that Zhao Min wanted to enter the palace at this time, he naturally didn't dare to stop him, and replied respectfully: "As long as it is not the official's property, the county lord will take it at will." ”
When Zhao Min and Lin Ziming entered the palace, people came and went around the area, and some officers and soldiers were carrying many rare treasures.
"I came to the palace just to retrieve a portrait that I brought from the grassland. Zhao Min spoke to Lin Ziming, and then walked towards the bedroom of the King of Ruyang.
When the two of them came to the bedroom, they saw that it was already in a mess, and everything was staggering, as if it had been robbed.
Suddenly, Zhao Min's eyes fell on a picture scroll on the ground, and he stepped forward to pick it up, blowing away the dust on it, Lin Ziming took a look at it, and saw that the scene painted on the picture scroll was a vast grassland, a man on horseback returned from hunting, and the woman went out to greet him, smiling like a flower.
"Sir, let's go. Zhao Min said lightly, got up and came to Lin Ziming's side.
When Lin Ziming and Zhao Min left the palace, they saw a person galloping on a horse, followed by a large group of people and horses.
"Phew!"
The man on horseback was Meng Chang, and when he saw Zhao Min at the gate of the palace at this moment, he showed a look of joy, and the next moment his face suddenly sank and said, "It's you again." ”
If it weren't for Lin Ziming's appearance, he would already be a beauty, why did he fall so embarrassed, and his murderous intent rose in an instant, but he disappeared because of his feelings.
"Shizi, this should be the second time we have met. Lin Ziming looked at Meng Chang, although he didn't know what kind of rejection Meng Chang had now, but he wouldn't do something extralegal anyway.
Zhao Min didn't have the slightest feeling for Meng Chang, and even more disgust, when Meng Chang passed by, she and Lin Ziming left calmly and quickly disappeared into the palace.
After a while, Meng Hanran also rushed to the Ruyang Palace, he heard that Meng Chang had come out of the palace to the Ruyang Palace, Meng Chang faced Meng Hanran with a gloomy face.
Meng Hanran took a list from the leading captain who was in charge of raiding the Ruyang Palace.
"Shizi, this is the list of items checked by the Ruyang Palace, please take a look. ”
"So little?" Meng Chang's gaze fell on Meng Hanran, causing him to tremble: "Recently, Shuzhong has been constantly attacked by Tubo, the army has been frequently mobilized, and the material consumption is huge, and taking back everything in the Ruyang Royal Mansion can relieve the existing pressure. ”
"What is the reaction of the imperial court?" Meng Hanran asked.
Meng Chang said: "The imperial court has sent the great general Cheng Yanjin to put on armor again, and entered the territory of Tubo from the other side, preparing to join forces with the army of Shuzhong to attack Tubo. ”
"In this way, we can relieve the pressure. Meng Hanran was slightly positive, but even if there were two people and horses fighting together, the terrain of Tubo was complicated, and everything was difficult to predict.
"It shouldn't be a problem to repel an invading enemy. Meng Chang smiled: "I've been in the palace recently, and I may not be able to personally inquire about everything that happens in the outside world, but there are big things happening around?"
"Back to the world, the two elders of Xuan Ming have died in Huangquan, and their death is extremely miserable. ”
Meng Chang was moved, but after thinking about it, he was suddenly relieved, but he didn't say anything: "Choose a treasure place and treat them well." ”
"Yes. ”
Heavenly Blood Village, inside the main hall.
Zhao Min was sitting in a precarious position, and there were more than 20 people in the two rows below, and Lin Ziming's position was second only to Zhao Min.
"We are here to discuss a major event. Zhao Min watched everyone issue an order: "I promised you before, the scale of Tianxue Village in the future will never stop at a small manor, what we want is to get out of Shuzhong and influence the entire rivers and lakes." ”
When they heard these words, their spirits were lifted and they were unusually happy, and it was not too much to rejoice for them.
"Just now, my husband and I went to the Chengdu Mansion and got back the title deeds of the land around Tianxuezhuang. Zhao Min once again announced a good news, which was tantamount to a bombshell for everyone who were overjoyed.
After a while, the guards outside the door came in to report: "Qi Zhuang master, there is a person outside the village who claims to be Linghualou Mohua who wants to see him." ”
Lin Ziming was overjoyed when he heard this, and went out to greet him in person, but when he came to the outside of the village, he saw Mohua coming alone: "Why bother you to come in person." ”
"How can I take such an important matter lightly, in case there is a mistake I can't afford it. "Mo Hua is worthy of being a Qinglou**, and his clever mouth is fantastic, which is convincing.
"Inside please. Lin Ziming looked at Mo Hua and said.
Mo Hua smiled, shook his head and said: "You don't need to go in, I came mainly to hand over the silver ticket to you, and I have to go back, after all, there are still some things in Linghualou that I have to deal with." ”
"Then I won't stay. Lin Ziming smiled faintly: "I will definitely visit another day." ”
After speaking, Mo Hua put the eight thousand five hundred taels of silver tickets in Lin Ziming's hand, and then turned around and left.
When Lin Ziming returned to the village, everyone had already dispersed, and he came to Zhao Min's bedroom.
"Zhao Min, I have something to hand over to you. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Min opened the door and ushered Lin Ziming in, serving tea and pouring two cups.
"What's the matter, sir?"
Lin Ziming handed the eight thousand five hundred taels of silver tickets handed over to him by Mo Hua in front of Zhao Min, Zhao Min was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Where did you get so many silver tickets?"
She counted it carefully, and there were more than 8,000 taels, such a huge amount of money, even if the king of Ruyang was only 5,000 yuan of silver a year.
However, with so much silver, it can be quickly invested in the wasteland that is about to be built.
Lin Ziming replied: "Linghualou Mohua personally sent it over just now. ”
"Sir is really powerful and omnipotent. Zhao Min seemed to be smiling, and he didn't know whether he was praising Lin Ziming or slandering and teasing.
Zhao Min didn't ask directly, but since Lin Ziming was able to hand over the Heavenly Blood Village to Zhao Min, he was relieved: "I once made a deal with the Shifting Flower Palace, so I have a lot of close connections with the Shifting Flower Palace. ”
"I see. Zhao Min nodded.
"By the way, Dai Qisi will come to Tianxue Village in a few days, you went to the Chengdu Mansion before, and you didn't notice this. ”
"Then I will command to go down and have the room ready. ”
"Hmm. Lin Ziming just revealed the news to Zhao Min, this kind of thing is more able to be handled by women.
"Sir, you mentioned to me that the people of Alcatraz will be arriving in the near future. ”
Zhao Min suddenly remembered this matter, if the people of Alcatraz Island said that there would be some delay during this period, it would only be a few days.
