The Promotion of Yuanchun in the Red Chamber

Among the generals most trusted by the Supreme Emperor, the commander of the Forbidden Army ranked first, and the Wen family father and son ranked second.

When the Supreme Emperor came to the throne, it was not what everyone expected: After all, the Supreme Emperor was not easy to fool, and those officials who filled their private pockets with vegetarian meals and took bribes wantonly were destined to not have a good end.

Tragedy is imminent, and corrupt officials will definitely struggle in the face of the Holy Spirit.

In other words, as long as you are an official, you must have a backer. The more treacherous officials you are, the more active you will be~ to form a party~ to form a group... Unfortunately, at that time, there were many who supported these ~corrupt~ officials with very important words Clan princes.

You don't need to think about it to know that the clan who was proud of himself and loved to take the lead when the emperor's father was in power for a while, most of his abilities were not used in governing the country and the people, but he was a good player who wanted to spoil his feet and drag him down.Not only that, these people are even more embarrassing and ruthless.

So the Taishanghuang spent nearly ten years, repeatedly beating and appeasing, and finally dealt with the wealthy and big-hearted uncles and brothers in the clan one by one, and quickly got rid of the cousin who was in trouble The life of the nobles is not as good as before... In short, it doesn't matter whether it was the palace change at the end of last year, or Zhao Zhizhen, the seventh son of the Supreme Emperor who resolutely passed on the throne. can not also.With their current family background, the emperor and his son would not take anything seriously.

But the clan is weak, and while they can't dictate to the emperor, don't expect them to help.

King Pingnan's rebellion has not been able to defend so far, and the princes whose fiefdoms are in the southwest are helpless. No matter whether it is people or money, there is no way to provide any assistance to the emperor's army. They even doubt whether the collected information is credible ——Wang Pingnan was able to rebel~ rebellion, probably thanks to the surrounding princes for their care for many years.

Therefore, compared with his own relatives who have their own thoughts, the Supreme Emperor naturally trusts the Wen family whom he single-handedly promoted, and who has always been in harmony with each other.In short, against King Pingnan, the Supreme Emperor has always relied on the Wen family.

However, Zhao Zhizhen's view of Wen's family is different from his father's...: the soldiers under King Pingnan's command are just like that, if they are dedicated to defending and attacking, they will definitely suffer a lot of damage, but after two years, the situation of the battle has hardly changed. The Wen family "contributed a lot".

Jia Zhu went to Jinling to be the magistrate, and just after handing over to his predecessor, he met his colleagues and subordinates at the top, and after chatting with several big local businessmen, he found out some real details, so he wrote a secret letter and sent someone back to the capital quickly.

After reading this secret letter, he called in his confidants who were in charge of spying on various places to talk for half an hour, after which Zhao Zhizhen meditated for most of the afternoon.It wasn't until the sun was about to set that the hands of the chiming clock in the corner pointed to "seven", and the manager cautiously stepped forward to ask, and he frowned, and tucked the secret bag into his sleeve, "Go to Jingren Palace."

The chief executive who walked out quickly gave the little apprentice who was waiting outside a wink... The little eunuch immediately "tipped off the news": Your Majesty has to go straight to Jingren Palace to find the noble concubine, no matter whether you are happy or sad or angry Said said, almost everyone knows this habit.

Little did he know that after Yuan Chun finished his visit to the garden, he went back to his study to read the newly received secret letter, and then his face turned dark, and he remained silent until now.

The little eunuch who was running errands whispered a few words to Ao Mei in Jingren Palace, and he knew that the imperial concubine was also in a bad mood.The two have nothing to do, they can only remind each other that they must be careful in serving today.

But Ao Mei just stood outside the study and was about to report, Yuan Chun heard the movement and asked, "Has the Holy Majesty gone out?"

Ao Mei hurriedly said: "Yes."

Yuan Chun stretched his waist, and put the letter paper on the case, "I have a lot to talk to the Holy One today."

Baoqin behind him had a solemn expression on his face, and he just silently rubbed Yuan Chun's shoulders: Seeing the imperial concubine's face, she knew it must be a bad thing!

Yuan Chun sighed softly again, "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times... I haven't seen it yet, and just hearing our own family's return, I'm shocked. If that's the case, why am I so indifferent? Well, I just Send more capable people there." As he spoke, his eyes fell on Baoqin and Aomei.

Baoqin and Aomei knew that the imperial concubine's opening must be related to the two of them, they both bowed and said, "It's all up to the imperial concubine's arrangement."

This year, Baoqin and Aomei should leave the palace and go home to get married: not only the two girls are already in their early twenties, but also the two young men who are engaged to them have been waiting for several years.

With Baoqin Aomei's knowledge and ability, coupled with her status as a concubine's confidant female official, she will be able to be the master of her in-law's family after marriage.

What's more, Yuan Chun can "decide with one word" about the future and official career of the two young men.But Yuan Chun wanted to hear the thoughts of the two good girls, so he asked, "After you get married, which one would like to stay in the south for a few years?"

Baoqin was born in the Rongfu family, and her parents are also from Jinling; Aomei's family has grown up in the capital for several generations, but her fiancé-in-law is a native of Yangzhou.

Baoqin and Aomei looked at each other, their faces were reddish but they said firmly in unison again, "It's all up to the imperial concubine to arrange."

Both of them spoke the truth: as long as you put your heart into running errands for the imperial concubine, you don't have to worry about your future.

Yuan Chun nodded: To arrange errands for their husband-in-law, they had to say hello to the Holy One.Now she is not worried at all that the Holy Majesty will not give her face.

Just as I was about to strike while the iron was hot, I heard a soft report from the maid outside the door: The Holy Majesty is here.

I can only talk back later, Yuan Chun hurriedly got up to greet him.

Wearing an ordinary palace attire, with only a few jade hairpins on her head, she just walked outside the study when she saw Zhao Zhizhen stepping into the palace gate.

Even though Zhao Zhizhen was in a bad mood, facing the refreshing and pleasant Yuan Chun, he smiled, "Have you been waiting?" Today he came a little later than usual.

Yuan Chun took Zhao Zhizhen's arm and entered the door, looked at his chin carefully for a while, and said, "You look so full... I won't be in a hurry to invite people to arrange dinner."

This is what Yuan Chun dared to say, Zhao Zhizhen smiled when he heard this, "You have sharp eyes."

Yuan Chun forced a smile, "Because I am too." She felt that she and the Holy One were worried about the same thing, so she didn't bother to waste words, but directly stuffed the secret letter on the case into Zhao Zhizhen's hands, "You have to read it first. "

It is said that Yuan Chun's companion Li Da and his wife have two sons. The eldest son has just won the Juren, and the youngest son is a bit smarter than his brother in Yuan Chun's opinion, especially talented in inquiring and integrating information.

Therefore, before his elder brother Jia Zhu went south to take up his post, Yuan Chun sent the young man to the south to learn how to do business with the chief steward, while taking a look at the "real situation" in the south.

Sure enough, this young man lived up to Yuan Chun's hopes. The first secret letter in two months left Yuan Chun speechless for half an afternoon.Because what the letter said was exactly Zhao Zhizhen's heart disease: water transport.

The grain from the south of the Yangtze River was transported to the north, and the ore and fur from the northwest were transported to the south, all by water transport.When Daqi was first founded, land, sea and water transportation were very prosperous, but after decades, because adhering to the principle of "good steel should be used on the blade", the imperial court did not save money on the north-south land and water transportation, so it had to "treat one more than the other "The land is "thin" on the sea.

Because there has been no investment in port and dock repairs, not only the Daqi Navy is like a stepmother's child, but even the shipping can no longer regain the glory that swept the surrounding area when the country was founded.

Because the Taishang Emperor kept a close eye on the water transport back then, and although there were many people involved in it, he did not delay the business—it was also because the water transport, as the main channel connecting the north and the south, was extremely important and the benefits were amazing, and the relationships between the families who relied on the water transport for food were very different. It is intricate, and there are a bunch of "mother-in-laws" staring at it. Intrigue is inevitable, but nothing major has ever happened.

However, this was all about ten or so years before the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne. Now it is still convenient and smooth to transport soldiers, grain and rice through the canal, but the cost can not be compared with previous years, especially terrible... about half of the officials in charge of water transport, and There are several gangs along the route...these people seem to have favored the Wen family now!

As a result, Zhao Zhizhen had expected it, but he was silent for a moment before reluctantly praising him, "Your subordinate is a careful person."

Yuan Chun, a young subordinate, just took the lead in going to the south and came to the same conclusion as Jia Zhu!This person's eyesight is extraordinary...

Yuan Chun spoke at this time, planning Zhao Zhizhen's thoughts, "I'm afraid that in the south, the Wen family is powerful and... it's no secret that it has other thoughts. It's so blatant to meddle in the water transportation, and many people succumb to it. Willing to listen to them, it can be seen that it has really become a climate."

Zhao Zhizhen couldn't help sighing softly when Yuan Chun said the obvious thing, "You really understand my thoughts. The Wen family is seeing another King of Pingnan."

In fact, after Zhao Zhizhen ascended the throne, officials often complained cryptically in their memorials that the Wen family had disobedience.In connection with Jia Zhu's secret report today, Zhao Zhizhen sneered even more, "Can Guangdong and Guangxi follow in the footsteps of the Southwest?!"

Yuan Chun thought for a while, and took Zhao Zhizhen's arm to persuade him, "The two provinces in the Southwest have been in business for three generations. How can Guangdong and Guangxi compare with the Southwest?"

Southwest was entrusted to Pingnan King at the beginning of Daqi's founding. "Guangdong and Guangxi are prosperous and prosperous, and there are many scholars. It doesn't matter if it's an official or a businessman, which one is easy to fool and intimidate? The more understanding people are, the more they think... Wen's subduing these understanding people in one fell swoop is probably just a daydream. .”

Not to mention the Wen family, even the Supreme Emperor cannot guarantee that most of the officials in Guangdong and Guangxi are really loyal!

Zhao Zhizhen has always been a thorough person. He closed the door and talked to Yuan Chun. He didn't have too many scruples at all. , they will also fight with their lives."

This is the reason, but to put it so bluntly is purely because of the temper of the holy warrior.

In all fairness, at this time, the equipment and combat power of the generals in the south were not as good as that of the elite army stationed at the pass in the north, so they replaced the imperial guards guarding the capital and the camp in the suburbs of Beijing.

Yuan Chun put his mind to one side, and also thought about "open mouthed", "I think the Wen family also knows that they will not be able to win the 'Ming Zheng'... I'm afraid they use the word 'delay'."

The Wen family has been operating in Guangdong and Guangxi for many years, and it has already taken root. Zhao Zhizhen also knows well that there is little chance of disarming the Wen family's military power without bloodshed.And so far, the Supreme Emperor still trusts the Wen family, maybe he is still complaining in his heart that his own son is persecuting these veteran ministers too much.

Zhao Zhizhen nodded and said, "Go on."

Yuan Chun was taken aback, and said to himself: You can point me in the right direction!Is it possible that I alone can come up with a whole set of ways to deal with the Wen family?On second thought, did she think too highly of herself again?If the Holy Majesty believes in her again, if she casually mentions important national affairs, the Holy Majesty will accept everything according to the rules?

Immediately Yuan Chun also laughed and said: "It's all you have heard, I'm a woman and Taoist, it's inevitable that I'm short-sighted..."

Zhao Zhizhen suddenly raised his head and stared at Yuan Chun, "How many people in the world can I trust?"

Yuan Chun was dumbfounded, and naturally thought a little farther: It seems that Concubine Min, the most beloved of the previous life, will enter the palace in the general election next year?It's just that the Holy Majesty has already handed over all the general and minor elections to her, and made it clear that he doesn't need anyone to serve him at all.Anyway, she didn't take Concubine Min seriously. Now that she thinks about it, Concubine Min's natal family and Wen's family seem to be related by marriage?In the previous life... Didn't this family tell the Wen family's secrets?

Therefore, there is no corner in the world that cannot be penetrated, and the failure is only because the method is not selected correctly.

Yuan Chun was silent, Zhao Zhizhen stretched out his arms and hugged her tightly, after a while Yuan Chun still didn't say a word... Zhao Zhizhen's chest felt a little tight suddenly, and he added, "Don't think about it, I'm not the former Emperor Zhuang."

The empress of the former Emperor Zhuang was very virtuous and helped the young Emperor Zhuang to oust all the ~power~ ministers one by one. However, after the empress succeeded, she became seriously ill and stayed in bed for several years. Emperor Zhuang took the opportunity to cut off the empress. The natal family also personally eliminated many of the queen's subordinates, and finally listened to the words of the beloved concubine and directly abolished the queen who was no longer able to get out of bed.

In order to restore his reputation, Emperor Zhuang who "killed the donkey" did not hesitate to use military force, but naturally he did not end well: his throne was eventually taken by his younger brother.After dying alone in the confinement palace, his younger brother and important ministers gave him the posthumous word "Zhuang": Wu Bu Sui said Zhuang.

In fact, Emperor Zhuang's life corresponds to the saying "a warlike man will die", but everyone is more willing to attribute his tragedy to "ungratefulness".

His Majesty's tone and voice were a bit strange, Yuan Chun came back to his senses and said, "I'm just thinking wildly, but I'm not worried that you will treat me badly."

She's acting like a baby now...it's easy to do, not as uncertain as before, and she has to be slow to answer.

The Holy One is very firm and persistent, regardless of whether it is in the previous life or in this life, what he values ​​and loves, as long as you don't betray him, he will naturally remain the same; People, then no matter how much you try to beg for forgiveness or flatter or redeem, it will be useless.

Having said that, if it wasn't for his temper, he wouldn't be able to sit on the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhao Zhizhen nodded, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and admitted honestly, "I've been restless these days."

Yuan Chun understood him very well: he suddenly found out that the surname of Zhao in Southwest China, Canada and Guangxi is no longer there, and he can be full of anger without letting it out. His Majesty is really kind.

As soon as she had this thought, she heard Zhao Zhizhen say, "I really want to fight directly regardless of raising troops!"

Yuan Chun quickly patted Zhao Zhizhen's arm, "You are a famous teacher anyway."

Zhao Zhizhen shook his head, "Help me think about this 'name' quickly." Sheng Shang Gan Gang was assertive - even though he said that, in fact, any king who is not so violent will call the cabinet to discuss several times before making an order.Helplessly, the gang of veterans in the cabinet, some are belligerent, some are hostile, some are amicable, and some even speak for the Wen family...

Because before he puts how to deal with the Wen family to the Supreme Emperor and the cabinet, he must obtain evidence that the Wen family will not tolerate it!The Wen family had produced queens, so Zhao Zhizhen sincerely hoped that Yuan Chun and her natal family could step on the Wen family and gain a firm foothold in the court.

Yuan Chun also saw Zhao Zhizhen's true intentions. Her family really wanted to restore the former glory, so they must make some great contributions.Moreover, Wen's family collapsed, and her mother's family can make a good living from these vacant seats.

She pondered for a while, and finally whispered, "I have an idea, just listen to it. If you think it's inappropriate, you can scold me softly."

This sentence made Zhao Zhizhen laugh, and Yuan Chun continued, "I heard that there are a lot of merchant ships in Guangdong Port...It is the gathering of merchants that we can intervene."

Since the decline of the Daqi~Hai~jun and the slump in shipping, more than a dozen ports and docks around the coast are now even a bit dilapidated, but the only exception is Yuezhou Port, which is within the "site" of the Wen family. It was the news sent back by Brother Rong's cheap uncle who left Beijing and went south, and Brother Rong is now serving in the Imperial Army, so talking to aunt is no cheaper than before!

What Yuanchun meant was to let Brother Rong's eldest brother-in-law preside over the repair of the big port and docks outside Jinling City. To die is to not allow members of the former royal family to take the imperial examination to be officials for a few years... But now that Daqi has been established for almost 100 years, this rule has long since ceased to work.

It's just that Yuan Chun's suggestion that Zhao Zhizhen directly reuse such an identity is a bit sensitive, and the most important one is a person from a businessman background.This person started from scratch, from being down and out to being separated from his baby sister, and then becoming one of the best big businessmen in Donglin in his [-]s. His talent and vision can be called the best choice. The veteran is by no means a rookie.

It depends on whether Zhao Zhizhen has enough courage... In fact, he really has.

A small group of elite soldiers carried a handbook in their pockets and took the tokens and galloped out of the capital before sunrise the next day. Mr. Ji also took advantage of the opportunity to prepare a few smart men among them.Assistance, protection, and supervision are all intended meanings: because the Holy Majesty has transferred a lot of people from the inner treasury to the past.

At the end of autumn, Baoqin and Aomei also went out of the palace to get married. The two young couples didn't live in the capital for a month, and they were both sent to the south by Yuanchun: they served in the ~shou~bei~army in Jinling and Hangzhou respectively.

These two "bridegroom officials" are sensible people: this is the benefit of marrying a big maid next to a noble concubine.Just because of his background as a soldier of the Holy Majesty, the Holy Majesty may not necessarily be able to see him and get a fat job early.After all, there are tens of thousands of soldiers before and after the Holy Majesty, how can we take care of all of them?

Naturally, the two also lived up to Yuan Chun's "Love House and Wu", the first secret letter after taking office... they both dare to say: the filial piety received in the first month alone has caught up with the entire family property of the two families.You must know that these two families are able to send their sons to a prince to serve as soldiers, and they have some connections and family backgrounds, and the various merchants who offer filial piety are also inquiring about the "true intention" of the Holy Majesty's repair of the harbor.

These merchants include water transport, salt merchants, and several maritime merchants... Yuan Chun held the thin letter paper and shook it lazily at Zhao Zhizhen, "We have so many ports in the southeast, and the money for the repair and reconstruction is finally available!"

Zhao Zhizhen squinted his eyes, "I don't care too much."

In fact, he has never had a good impression of merchants: it's all about the gang of traitorous merchants at the pass who put in salt and iron to leave the customs.

In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the customs, these people naturally had to bribe and arrange the generals guarding the customs. After that, they became more and more violent, until they bought information from the guards or military advisers... Zhao Zhizhen first arrived at the gate, and the first time he returned. When meeting the enemy, he was almost trapped outside the pass.

At the time when autumn was exhausting, Yuan Chun rested his pillow on Zhao Zhizhen's belly, listening to the past, "So that's how it is." She turned over as she spoke, "How did you deal with it afterwards?"

Zhao Zhizhen said with a smile: "Then I have no choice but to let those unclean people die in battle."

Although those people deserved to die, but from what they heard, one could guess that they were involved, Yuan Chun replied, "No wonder you have made great military achievements, but your reputation is limited." Yuan Chun still dared to say this.

Zhao Zhizhen was still able to say with a smile: "It was young and vigorous back then."

Now he is much more patient, but he can still make up his mind immediately and not hesitate to fight the Wen family.

Yuan Chun stretched out his thumb, "What a hero!"

Zhao Zhizhen accepted the compliment with peace of mind, and asked, "What books have you been reading recently?"

"Writing about heroes and heroes."

In other words, Yuan Chun personally participated in Zhao Zhizhen's overall strategy to pacify the south, not only making suggestions, but also recommending many capable people.But let’s not mention the official war in the south for the time being, just talk about the various intelligences about the water transportation, relying on the steward she sent, Baoqin Aomei and his wife who worked in the south, plus the help of her brother Jia Zhu, and Brother Rong’s help. What her brother-in-law had seen...was not enough for her to get a glimpse of the general situation of "Water Transport".

Yuan Chun knew very well that Zhao Zhizhen had a lot of trust in him, so he obeyed without saying anything...but it was not that far off.The more this happened, the more cautious Yuanchun became. She knew that she had a heavy responsibility. Apart from carefully pondering the secret letters sent by her confidants, she did not miss reading as a reference in her spare time: whenever it came to water transportation or travel notes, she would read them herself. one time.

Don't underestimate these storybook travel notes, even if they are fabricated, there must be a basis for fabrication.Even if it is hearsay, Yuanchun also pondered the value: because before she talked to Zhao Zhizhen about rectifying the water transport and destroying the Wen family, her understanding of the water transport was "there is a grand canal"...

However, most of the scriptures that can involve water transport are stories about heroes who fight for justice.

This cause and effect Zhao Zhizhen could guess in almost a moment, so he laughed again, "You are more thoughtful." Yuan Chun always thinks of him in everything.

It stands to reason that Yuan Chun shouldn't read these "idle books".And she not only saw it, but also saw the doorway, and now she told Zhao Zhizhen blatantly.

Not only did Zhao Zhizhen have no intention of blaming, but he felt relieved, and he even directly expressed his appreciation-so, the royal family is the most well-behaved place in the world, and it is also the most unruly place.

The corners of Yuan Chun's eyes and brows were filled with pride, "A canal that connects the capital with Suzhou and Hangzhou, to say the least, involves the livelihoods of tens of thousands of people. If those officials and businessmen are cut off from a little bit of money, they will inevitably incite those... common people... ...It's not easy for others to see the joke, is it?"

Since Brother Rong was "close in sight", Yuan Chun also knew many "strange stories" about Zhao Zhizhen when he was guarding the north.According to Zhao Zhizhen's previous temper methods, he might hope that those corrupt~official~traitor~businessmen will lead people to make a fuss, so that he can become famous as a teacher and decisively send troops - no courtier can dissuade the Holy One from suppressing the rebellion!

In the end, it must be these people... Losing both human and wealth, Zhao Zhizhen can still use the opportunity of ~ copying ~ family to go to the government to convict him, so as to fill up his own internal treasury.

After all, he aspires to be a hero, not only to quell internal turmoil, govern the country and secure the people, but also to expand the territory in his lifetime.Only in this way can it be regarded as famous in history and admired by all people.

Just relying on killing people to gain prestige, if you get out of the habit of killing people... killing too much will definitely attract criticism, but she also knows that the Holy One has always been... unhappy.No matter how "lovely" the Supreme Emperor and the Holy Father and his son are, they can't erase the old grudges.

Yuan Chun suddenly sat up, holding Zhao Zhizhen's face with both hands, and said, "I think you...are too straight."

Zhao Zhizhen was helpless, even aggrieved, "Why don't I know that life is hard and easy to break? I can't bear it." He stretched out his hand and squeezed Yuan Chun's little face, "Turn your hand to cloud and hand to rain, I'm just See details." Sighed again, "Anyway, it's not a critical moment, why don't I easily mobilize troops?"

Yuan Chun thought for a while, "Those merchants must be useful. Can you just wait?"

Except for the secret agents who were actually in charge, and Zhao Zhizhen's confidantes, only Yuan Chun guessed that Mr. Ji's subordinates went south not only to collect information and establish a new branch, but also...to secretly clean up those disobedient and A businessman who likes to stand out or give ideas.

Although these people are rarely innocent——since the decline of the Qi and Han army, most of the maritime merchants in the south now rely on ~smuggling~ and concurrently serving as pirates to earn amazing wealth.

It was also this group of people who noticed early on that the Holy Majesty's attitude towards the South had changed, and they became uneasy. At the same time, they planned to bring the Wen family and the rebellious King Pingnan together to teach the Holy Majesty a lesson.

But in life, who can live without someone who doesn't like it?If you have been an official for a long time, you can't do without ~politics~enemies. When your business grows, where can you lack ~enemy~enemies?

Yuan Chun's meaning is clear and clear: You should show off your words first, and lure them with profit, let these ~politics~enemies~enemies fight first.When they get serious about it, and you get almost the same benefits, it would be great to come forward to uphold justice.If you still don't listen to advice, it would be great if you take action to clear up the chaos.

After all, there is an undercurrent surging in the south, so the Wen family will naturally suffer!

It was the same this time, Zhao Zhizhen listened to Yuan Chun's words again.

The next day, Yuan Chun went to the Empress Dowager at the Palace of Compassionate Ning early as usual—compared with other concubines, the Empress and other concubines, her Jingren Palace was the closest to the Palace of Compassion.

Before the others arrived, the queen mother smiled at her, "I heard that you did a good job. The combination of hardness and softness is the right way."

Yuan Chun hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager is too famous."

The queen mother smiled and waved her hands, "I know it well."

The imperial concubine made great contributions on the night of the palace change, keeping the palace safe, and did not gain any benefits for herself and her natal family afterwards, and she has been sincere to Lao Qi for so many years... Forget it, if you treat my son well, I should naturally live well Thank you.

So he planned to put some girls from his own family next to the Holy Majesty during the general election next year, so as to give the Holy Majesty a pillow breeze, and get some benefits for himself. Even if the people who heard some news in advance, they all hit a wall with the Queen Mother.

This is of course later.

Just when Yuanchun pulled Zhao Zhizhen and asked him to hold on for a while... Brother Rong's elder brother resorted to a trick to get rid of his shell, and with one or two confidantes, and the bodyguards sent by the Holy Spirit, he ran to the Jinling met with Jia Zhu: this is a big matter, so he had to come.

However, Jia Rong, the brother-in-law, has many contacts in the north, but in the south, there is not a single colleague who is willing to tell him the truth: a few years ago, King Pingnan and the Wen family really often "exchanged needs"!When King Pingnan's caravan arrived in Guangdong and Guangxi, they changed their outfits and signs, and then they were able to sell goods at Guangdong Port.It can be seen that King Pingnan has persisted for so many years and has not seen any decline. It is obvious that his caravan can not only go to sea, but also return safely.Needless to say, the Wen family acquiesced in this matter, without the help of the naval commander in the south...how could it be justified? !

Jia Zhu frowned, hesitated for a while while holding the teacup, and then said, "Is this news reliable?"

Jia Rong's uncle said softly, "Eighty percent."

Jia Zhu immediately made a decision, "You go back and wait for me for a few days." If the governor of the South ~ Sea ~ Army also fell to the Wen family, how can this Xingang be built? !
