Chapter 80
Jinling, Huainan Palace.

Huainan King Zhao Chongduan sat in his study drinking tea.He is over fifty this year, and because of his health preservation skills, he doesn't have a single gray hair on his head, and he looks only in his early forties.

The ancients were very fond of tea soup, and often added mint, salt, red dates and a lot of spices to the tea.The tea soup is cloudy and greasy, as thick as high oil.This way of eating completely conceals the aroma of the tea itself, which Zhao Chong does not like.

The trend of frying tea leaves and boiling them in pure water was pioneered more than 20 years ago by two brothers, the emperor Zhao Jie and the king of Huainan, Zhao Chong.Especially after Zhao Jie became the emperor, the trend of drinking fried tea became popular in China.

What Zhao Chong is holding is his favorite Dongting tea, which is also known as frightening fragrance among the people.The color is green and the fragrance is fragrant.The fragrance lingers on the lips and teeth after drinking, and the mind feels relaxed and happy.

The head of the palace, Shi, stood in front of the desk, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and the prince must not be disturbed while drinking tea.But he has a few important matters that he has to report.

Zhao Chong took a sip of the tea, closed his eyes and thought about it, and then said to Chang Shi: "What's the matter, I'm in a panic."

"Your Highness, the prince was delayed in Suzhou for several days, and the governor of Suzhou came to report that the waterway has been cleared, and the prince still refuses to come back."

Zhao Chong opened his eyes, gently blew on the tea leaves and said, "Hao'er is playful, so let him go. Tell the prefect of Suzhou that Hao'er lost a hair, and I will kill his whole family."

"Yes." Chang Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued: "Yangzhou came to report that floods were raging in the territory, and countless people were killed and injured. There are also bandits and bandits looting towns and villages. It may cause serious harm in the long run."

Zhao Chong didn't even raise his head: "It's okay. Bandit mange. As for disaster relief, do you still need me to teach him?"

"A good news comes from Jiujiang, the Lushan bandits have surrendered."

"Okay. Liu Zhiyuan should be credited this time. The man named Ye he recommended is really good at it. Let Yangzhou learn from it."

"There is news from the capital that the Jin soldiers seem to be moving south. The Ministry of Households will collect 30 shi of military rations and 20 guan of military pay from Huainan."

"Oh?" Zhao Chong raised his eyebrows, "No. Let the Minister of the Household Department ask for it from me. Is there anything else?"

The temperature of this cup of tea is not enough, Zhao Chong is a little impatient.

Chang Shi thought about it, and there was another small matter, which he reported together: "Your Highness, the canal is flooded, and it is difficult to transport the strange stone collected from the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Jinling by the end of the month."

"What?!" Zhao Chong shook his hands, and the tea soup spilled onto the tea table, "Where are you now?"

"Yes, it should be in Lin'an." Chang Shi was stunned for a moment and almost couldn't answer.

"Confused, why didn't you report such a major event earlier?!" Zhao Chong was furious, "That strange stone is auspicious, if it is not transported to the capital in October and misses His Majesty's birthday, you will never be redeemed. Send an order Going down, I won’t be able to reach Jinling at the end of the month, and a group of people from the escort officer will come to see you! Hurry up and go!”

"Yes!" Chang Shi had never seen the prince so angry, and immediately stepped back with small steps.

.................. ..
So at the same time, Zhao Hao, the son of Prince Huainan, was full of energy. The shacks of the victims outside the west gate had been connected into one piece, and the porridge factory had also been expanded.Zhao Hao also bought some vegetables with the stolen money and made hot soup for the victims.The nine yamen servants also kidnapped several doctors from the city to treat the victims.

In less than half a day, Master Liu's reputation resounded throughout the western suburbs of Suzhou City after the city tour.

In addition, Zhao Hao coerced the officials in the city to organize the strong labor force among the victims to register and record them.

He became interested, and sat down to register the victims in person.

"Name?"

"Zhu Liu."

"Nation?"

"Shiqiao Town, Wei County, Changzhou County."

"Oh, he came from the north to escape."

After Zhao Hao registered, he looked up and saw that the thin man in front of him was still holding a monkey.

"Hey, I said you are already like this, why are you playing a fool?"

Zhu Liu's head was full of black lines: "My lord, this is my son."

"Oh, really! Why is this child so thin?" Zhao Hao put down the brush, stood up and stretched out his hand, "It's poor, I'll take him and get him something delicious."

Gou Sheng'er was afraid of life, so he hugged Zhu Liu tightly and didn't let go.Zhu Liu bowed his head while nodding and said, "My lord, my son is dirty, I'm afraid he will stain your clothes."

Zhu Liu had nothing but his son, so how could he be taken away by someone else?Not even the Great Master Qingtian whom the victims call him.

"Tch, I'm curious about it." Zhao Hao curled his lips and turned around and said, "Who is that, get some cooking cakes for this kid. Oh, by the way, there seems to be some goat milk, give him a bowl too. I'll give him an advance of three days. wages."

Zhu Liuqian thankfully withdrew.

Zhao Hao planned to use these people to dredge rivers, repair houses, and organize farmland.I believe that the post-disaster reconstruction work in Suzhou City will soon be on the right track.Then the victims will be dispersed and resettled.

Now is the weather of the autumn tiger, and if it drags on, it will easily cause epidemics.Speaking of which, there is a shortage of medicinal materials and food.

Zhao Hao couldn't help looking to the south: "When will that local tyrant Lu Yuan come?"

In Zhenhai City, there was thunderous applause in Peng Lai Pavilion.

The first meeting on the Broken Bridge in the musical "Legend of the White Snake" was a great success.

Under the stage, Lu Shuang sat beside Lu Yuan, smiled and said to Lu Yuan: "Nephew is so clever, he even recruited Miss Ruhua, plus that mysterious girl Zixia. You can be regarded as my nephew." The common love rival of men in the whole city."

Lu Yuan smiled and nodded in response.This Ruhua is indeed talented, and after only one night of rehearsals, she can play the role of The White Snake so vividly.In addition, Mama Wang's cross-dressing effect is also surprisingly good.Playing Fa Hai is particularly hated.

"System: Host, in fact, you should be the dream lover of all men in the city, right hahaha."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Although this Legend of the White Snake is neither pornographic nor violent.However, there are three beauties such as Ruhua, Chenyu and Guanyue gathered together, and the words, tunes and plots are all excellent.Not only men love to watch it, but women and the elderly watch it even more mesmerizingly.

Ordinary people in this era really lack spiritual entertainment.

Therefore, as a repertoire suitable for all ages, The Legend of the White Snake is most suitable to be performed in Penglai Pavilion.After a performance, the enthusiasm of local tyrants to donate is very high.

Lu Yuan was about to go up to encourage some actors, when suddenly a guy came to report: "Boss, you have an urgent letter from [-] miles away, and it's already downstairs."

"???" Lu Yuan was in a daze, and he was in a hurry, how could it be delivered downstairs like SF Express?

Could it be for Zixia again? Send it here? !
Lu Yuan didn't dare to neglect, and hurried downstairs.I saw a knight standing in front of a horse with a bright red banner on its back.

The knight was accompanied by a postman from the local post.

When the postman saw Lu Yuan, he immediately said, "This is Yuanwai Lu."

The knight confirmed again and again, and then took out a sealed sheepskin case from his arms and handed it to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan hurried home, hid in the study and opened the leather case. Inside was a long wooden box with the words "Lu Yuan, Donghai County, Daxia, Sue" written on the outside.

sue? !Only those who are officials will have this thing!

Lu Yuan opened the wooden box, and there was a kit.Opening the kit, there is a volume of silk books inside.

After unfolding, I saw the words on it: "I order Lu Yuan, the ambassador of Wu County, Suzhou County..."

Lu Yuan: "???"
