Chapter 450 Prosperous Xiangyang

"Fellow folks, we are the guards of the caravan stationed at the front. Our mistress is ill and cannot be disturbed. I would like to ask you folks what this is at night..."

On the way, Erhu, after confirming that this group of civilians had no weapons, signaled to his men to be on guard, and then took the initiative to come forward and ask.

"Mother! Someone suddenly showed up!"

Erhu tried his best to keep his expression friendly, but with his beard, he could not be considered a good person in this late night. This group of people were frightened, and it took a long time for him to regain his composure.

Although Erhu was hurt inside, seeing this reaction made him more sure that these people should not be a threat.

"Are you a caravan going to the Porridge Market?"

"Yes!"

Porridge market...

The men who went to investigate the situation had not returned yet, so Erhu couldn't understand the name clearly, but that didn't stop him from agreeing first.

"Since your mistress can't bear to be disturbed, let's take a detour."

"Folks, let's take a detour and don't disturb others' rest! People come all the way to do good deeds, so let's not be evil people."

"it is good!"

So smooth again!

Erhu had a complicated heart. He hadn't paid yet, and he had no intention of asking these people to take a detour after confirming that there was no threat.

Otherwise, when Emperor Zhu Chongba finds out, he will definitely be blamed again.

But now they are taking the initiative to take a detour...

And what does it mean to do good things?

"Folks, there is no need to detour! As long as everyone is a little quieter, I will thank you very much!"

"Oh, we're going in a general direction, not a detour!"

"The growth is so fierce now, but my heart is full of rewards!"

The ladies at the front of the civilian team immediately activated the good guy card.

"Take a general direction?"

These words made Erhu even more confused.

Looking at the sacrificial items that did exist in their hands, Erhu looked back and saw nothing special...

"Well, we took advantage of the busy work to finish and deliver some food to the young people who couldn't go home. They are right in front."

"With Sui-kun here, we can't give gifts during the day, so we'll come together at night."

Hearing this explanation, Erhu was even more confused, but he immediately came to his senses.

As the true commander of the Jinyiwei, he is familiar with almost everything that the Jinyiwei handles, even if he was removed several times in the middle.

What's more, he handled the Wu Feng case personally.

"Do not……"

Before Erhu could say his second sentence, the group of people had already bypassed the main road and headed towards their original goal via the other side of the road.

"General, do we want to report to His Majesty now?"

His subordinate Jin Yiwei came to his side and pointed in other directions.

There seemed to be sparse crowds in other directions moving in the same direction. The number of each crowd was not too large, but the total number made it different.

"After the Spring Festival, during the Qingming Festival, people are free to offer sacrifices. It is no longer needed for the time being, so the queen can rest."

Erhu glanced in several directions, then shook his head.

"Yes!"

"Continue to guard the surroundings. Although it is a bad time, we cannot take it lightly!"

"Yes!"

……

The next day.

It wasn't until the white fish belly appeared in the east that Lao Zhu and Queen Ma in the big tent woke up.

Although it is not as good as the common people who need to go out to work in the fields as early as possible, it is already much too late for the two people who always get up early.

"This sleep is really comfortable. I haven't been this lazy for a long time."

Lao Zhu lamented most that he did have a say.

Especially when he saw the people in the surrounding farmland, he even laughed out loud.

"Erhu! Let's go! Go to the market!"

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, the general has already discovered the origin of that market..."

After breakfast, the team set off.

The large force led by Wang Ban had already explored the way forward and arrived at the Huangzhuang Palace in Xiangyang Prefecture. Naturally, the Jin Yiwei under Erhu also brought the news back.

"Porridge market?"

On the carriage, listening to the information reported by Erhu who was driving the horse, Lao Zhu's big teeth in the carriage put away and fell into silence again.

In the end, Queen Ma took the lead and dispelled his concerns.

"Erhu, was this market established under the personal supervision of the Zhao Mansion's inspection planner?"

"Back to your Majesty, at that time the Zhao Mansion's Guanghu inspection only made suggestions, and then His Royal Highness the King of Zhou issued an order to stay and resettle the victims who fled from Nanhe here."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's imperial edict to send steam engines to this place is still on the way. It was decided together by His Highness and the cabinet after discussions. After the proposal, there has been no participation from the Zhao family."

Erhu naturally understood the reason for Emperor Zhu Chongba's silence, but since he hadn't asked what happened, he couldn't take the initiative to say it.

When Queen Aruma spoke, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and answered the question carefully.

"But I think the Zhao family should also share in this award."

"Chongba, what do you think?"

Lao Zhu didn't ask what happened, simply because Queen Ma was nearby.

Now that Queen Ma took the initiative to speak, he couldn't be blamed.

That's not what we asked.

"Of course there is!"

Lao Zhu met Queen Ma's gaze, smiled and nodded.

"For stabilizing the victims, the four parties, including Lao Wu, Xiangyang officials, merchants, and the Guanghu patrol, must all take credit!"

But Queen Ma's eyes never moved away. He smiled and almost froze in laughter before finally realizing a problem.

The fifth son, Zhou Wang Zhu Zhi, is a good reward, and he is his own son anyway.

Xiangyang officials and merchants who performed righteous deeds were also rewarded, and Prince Zhu Biao had already done so.

But how to calculate the reward for Guanghu inspection? He is in prison now!

One sentence is "Law of the Sun and the Moon", you must buy a horse with a lot of gold.

Even he, the emperor, would not accept extrajudicial favors, and he was so angry at himself.

In the end, it was more in line with their wishes!

"Sister, it's really not our fault!"

"If we don't want to, if you have a way, we will listen to you!"

Use it to hold down the radicals in the sky prison, to stabilize the useful owners of the Ministry of Works, and to hang on to the radicals who are still outside.

In this regard, Emperor Zhu Chongba naturally would not give up easily.

But when it is released, he is confident that he can still master it!

The comfort of camping overnight made him understand that for the Zhao Mansion, all he wanted was a circle to block the three sides of them, and this circle was not necessarily a prison.

Although I don't mind a little evaluation.

But now that the girl is in charge of the surface, why not do it.

"You, the emperor, can't do anything, so what can I do?"

Queen Ma's mouth was still filled with blame, but the corners of her mouth were raised, obviously she was very satisfied with Lao Zhu's reaction just now.

Lao Zhu naturally laughed along with him.

"Don't be polite, sister, you are our assassin."

"Let's go to the Porridge Market first. The solution is there."

Seeing Lao Zhu's fawning look, Queen Ma couldn't help laughing in the end, but she still didn't directly tell her the solution.

"Okay! If the girl says there is one, it will be there!"

"Erhu, hurry up!"

"Yes!"

Erhu finally let go of his last trace of worry and the team began to accelerate.

They arrived in the middle of spring.

……

"The best fabrics! The same price in Nanhe and Xiangyang, the whole capital is using it!"

"Duck blood vermicelli soup! Adults in the capital also love it!"

"Pancakes! Zhongdu's time-honored pancakes!"

"Hey, look, girl, those in the capital use us as their signboards, while those here use Jingcheng and Zhongdu as their signboards!"

When he met his two favorite foods again, Lao Zhu no longer scolded profiteers as before, but instead proudly showed off to his sister.

"It's all your credit, okay." Empress Ma couldn't stand Lao Zhu's unattractive appearance, so she could only quickly smile and nod.

"Hey."

When it comes to acting skills, Lao Zhu naturally has some experience after years of training.

What's more, I'm in a good mood now, mixed with real feelings.

"But girl, where is the solution you mentioned?"

He still didn't forget about business.

"there."

Queen Ma said there was a way, and of course there was a way, pointing in one direction.

The Porridge Market is centered on the original Xiangyang Wharf and extends to both sides.

Now that the tense moment has passed, its effect naturally begins to swing back.

But the first two words have not been completely abandoned.

Lao Zhu followed his gaze and saw a list of papers.

There is no official seal on the list, but there are countless handprints.

[In case of famine, go to the market and eat at any shop. When the waiter asks if you have eaten, you can answer by touching your belly with your hand, and you will get a free bowl of porridge and rice - Chen's Grain Store, Majia Rice Store, Su...]

“What a prosperous Xiangyang!”

Looking at Xiangyang on the other side of the river, Lao Zhu immediately summoned two tigers to reward the officials on the other side.
