Seeing that Zhao Chongyuan's expression seemed a little downcast, the black-hearted tour guide curled his lips.
Unexpectedly, this is a patriotic businessman.
In fact, he has seen too much of this scene.
Before Zhao Ding arrived in Youzhou, it was so miserable that he couldn't even eat the bark of the trees.
There were so many things going back home in exchange for a few steamed buns for a wife. There were people starving to death everywhere on the road. No one even buried their bodies, so they had to feed wild dogs.
Even the exchange of children for food is common.
That's called hell on earth.
It's just that life has been relatively easy in the past few years.
The black-hearted tour guide casually threw the pendant that Zhao Chongyuan had thrown to him before to Zhao Chongyuan: "For the sake of your patriotism, I don't want this jade pendant. For the one tael of silver, I, Zhang San, will help you." Padded."
"Need not."
Zhao Chongyuan waved his hand and refused.
There is no reason to take back what the emperor has given away.
"Hey, this businessman is interesting."
Zhang San grinned and didn't care. He continued to ask his subordinates to help add firewood to the bottom of the pot.
While looking at these refugees with green eyes.
These are all money.
When they arrive in Youzhou, these people will become workers in the factories under their Royal Highness, Prince Yan.
When the time comes, factories will be built one after another.
With all the weird gadgets that His Highness Prince Yan has made, there is not enough gold everywhere.
At the same time, Zhao Chongyuan walked to the carriage with his hands behind his back.
Looking at Wang Lishi, Zhao Chongyuan looked gloomy: "Who is the prince of Yanzhou?"
"ah?"
Hearing Zhao Chongyuan's words, Wang Lishi frowned slightly, his eyes a little stunned.
"explain."
Zhao Chongyuan asked with a gloomy expression as before.
Seeing Zhao Chongyuan's serious attitude, Wang Lishi felt that he couldn't deal with it, so he said bravely: "It's His Royal Highness King Qi."
"That boy Zhao Zhe?"
Zhao Chongyuan looked at Wang Lishi in surprise, his voice rising in pitch.
"Yes Yes."
Wang Lishi smiled sarcastically.
King Qi is the eighth son of Zhao Chongyuan, who is also the half-brother of Zhao Ding. Originally, King Qi’s fiefdom was not here, but in another place. Later, King Qi’s mother concubine Zhang Guifei personally came to Zhao Chongyuan to intercede, plus the Zhang family There was also considerable power in the court, so Qi King Zhao Zhe was granted the title of Yanzhou.
Although Yanzhou is not particularly wealthy, it is also one of the important granaries of Daqian.
It is easiest to grow crops on black soil.
And with the natural barrier of Youzhou, as long as Youzhou is not broken, Yanzhou basically has no worries about war.
But now...
"Pick two fast horses to accompany me to Youzhou, and ask a few more people to accompany me to protect you."
Zhao Chongyuan ordered with a gloomy look.
"ah?"
Wang Lishi was startled and looked at Zhao Chongyuan hesitantly, his eyes darting around as he didn't know where to look.
"Why are you hesitating?"
Zhao Chongyuan cursed angrily: "I gave Youzhou to a boy like Zhao Zhe to govern, but look at what happened to him after I governed him?"
Wang Lishi smiled coquettishly and said quietly: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that it's not that His Highness King Qi is not good at governing, but that His Highness King Yan is too good?"
"Why is Zhao Ding so good? Is he so good that he is so good that he tricked me?"
Zhao Chongyuan was a little unconvinced, slapped his thigh again, and cursed angrily: "What's wrong with Zhao Ding's excellence? No matter how good he is, he is my seed, and it was my encouragement that made him good. I think King Qi's failure now is because I'm not good at my encouragement!"
Zhao Chongyuan stiffened his neck and glared at Wang Lishi.
"hey-hey."
Wang Lishi smiled sarcastically.
He didn't know how to answer Zhao Chongyuan's words.
It seems that I, you, are not as good as King Yan.
But Wang Lishi would not dare to say this even to death.
After looking at Zhao Chongyuan and then at the six full trucks of goods outside, Wang Lishi looked at Zhao Chongyuan and asked: "Your Majesty, if we transfer to Yanzhou Qi Prince's Mansion, what should we do with these things brought out from Youzhou? "
"Let the guard named Erwazi bring a few palace guards to escort him. Remember to hang the flag of the official ship."
Zhao Chongyuan ordered impatiently.
While the two were talking.
The guards had already brought in several fast horses.
Zhao Chongyuan got on his horse.
He waved his riding crop casually.
A driving sound!
The black horse underneath him headed towards Yanzhou City.
As the emperor of Ma Ma, although Zhao Chongyuan has been on the throne for many years, his martial arts on Ma Ma have not weakened at all.
"master."
Watching Zhao Chongyuan ride away.
Wang Lishi quickly led his men to catch up.
Zhang San was stunned when he saw this posture.
What the hell is this detour?
But when I saw that even though Zhao Chongyuan left, there were still many people left behind, I felt relieved.
The big fat sheep that I got can't fly anymore.
…
Half a day later, in the palace of Prince Qi of Yanzhou.
A young man was lying lazily in the hall.
Surrounded by a group of singing and dancing singers, the slim and beautiful singers danced to the music of the musicians.
Next to the young man stood an old man dressed as a Confucian scholar, who was whispering something in the young man's ear.
While enjoying the tender service of the maid beside him, the young man glared at the old man with an unconvinced look: "Your Majesty, I have been the grandson of the palace for eighteen years, and now it is difficult to get a fief. What's wrong with me enjoying it?
What's wrong? "
The old man dressed as a Confucian scholar had a bitter look on his face and quickly persuaded: "Your Highness, it's not that I won't let you enjoy it, but the people outside are really impatient to wait. Why don't you see me first?"
"What are you seeing? I'm enjoying myself without looking at you, Your Majesty."
While the two were talking, the music and dancing in the hall also stopped.
When Zhao Zhe saw this posture, he immediately became anxious. He patted the table and sat up from the chair: "Play the music, keep dancing!"
"What are you doing standing there in a daze? It's just two of us. We'll talk about it later, Your Majesty, when I'm done enjoying it."
Zhao Zhe didn't care.
Right now.
Snap!
The closed door of the hall was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
A middle-aged man with a somewhat similar face to Zhao Zhe walked in holding a whip.
"Hey, you continue to play music and dance, right? Come on, I will let you dance well."
Snap!
He whipped Zhao Zhe with a whip.
Following this middle-aged man came in an old man with a white face and no beard.
At this moment, the old man with a white face and no beard was covering his face and looking at Zhao Zhe with an unbearable expression.
These two people were none other than Zhao Chongyuan and Wang Lishi who had rushed all the way from the border area of Youzhou and Yanzhou to Yanzhou City.
Zhao Chongyuan was already very angry.
Good guy.
Zhao Zhe actually made him wait outside for half an hour.
Especially the housekeeper in the palace told him that Zhao Zhe was enjoying music and dancing, and asked them to continue waiting. As for when to wait, it depends on Zhao Zhe's mood.
Good guy.
Zhao Chongyuan became Hong Wen at that moment.
He rushed in with a whip in hand.
He didn't even care if anyone else was present, and just whipped Zhao Zhe.
Zhao Zhe and Zhao Ding are different.
Zhao Zhe's mother, Concubine Zhang, was Zhao Chongyuan's most beloved concubine besides the queen.
Zhao Zhe has been with him since childhood.
It can be said that he brought it out by himself.
Is this the result?
That's it?
"You are brave!"
Zhao Zhe hurriedly avoided Zhao Chongyuan's whip and hid behind a pillar in the hall of another palace, looking at Zhao Chongyuan with a stern look.
"Hey, I'm bold, look who I am!"
Upon hearing what Zhao Zhe said, Zhao Chongyuan became even more angry. He let out a hey and looked at Zhao Zhe.
"Who are you? You are the King of Heaven...oh, my father."
Zhao Zhe subconsciously wanted to curse, but when he saw Zhao Chongyuan's face clearly.
Zhao Zhe was confused.
