The night before Zhu Jun left, he specially visited Li Yanxi and the others.
Because Li Yanxi had to manage the literary newspaper and couldn't leave, she stayed in Zhongdu.
As the head of Fenjin Hall, Li Shanren couldn't leave, so he stayed.
The others all followed Zhu Jun to join the feudal clan.
Knowing that Zhu Jun was leaving, Tang Ding also rushed back from his hometown overnight, "Hey, it's a good thing for you to leave this place of right and wrong!"
Tang Ding picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Zhu Jun, and said somewhat depressedly: "After I went to the vassal territory, I managed the vassal territory in a down-to-earth manner. Although Weihaiwei is small, it has a lot of troops, but there are a few people. It's not enough." Two hundred thousand people.”
For comparison, the vassals of other lords have a population of more than 400,000.
The population of Zhu Di's Yuandadu was around 600,000 to 700,000, probably second only to Yingtian and Zhongdu.
A feudal territory with a large population naturally has high taxes.
The higher the tax, the more people can be supported.
"Don't worry, after we go to Weihaiwei, I will marry Xiuling." Zhu Jun said.
Tang Ding nodded. He felt relieved about Zhu Jun's character. He was not capable of being bullied and could take good care of his two daughters.
"You're going to Weihaiwei. That force..."
"Brother, give me back the military power!" Zhu Jun said.
Tang Ding was relieved.
"Xin Guogong took over Liaodong, so my people are no longer needed." Zhu Jun explained.
Tang Ding thought for a while and said: "My youngest is just doing nothing at home. That person from the Central Military Governor's Mansion is not interesting. If you like him, you might as well take him with you."
Zhu Jun looked at him in surprise and hooked Tang Ding's shoulder, "Old Tang, you have to think about it!"
"Isn't it normal for my father-in-law to help his son-in-law?" Tang Ding said: "Moreover, there are still two people in Liaodong, Tujian Timur and Buyan Timur, who have not been eliminated, and there will be a war in the future.
Although Weihaiwei is far away, it is very important. It can fight against the Japanese island countries in the east and attack Chang'an in the west.
When the war starts tomorrow, do you think you can stay out of it?
Moreover, your navy has already emerged, and there will be no escaping water battles in the future. "
Although Weihaiwei was poor, it was an extremely important strategic point, so Tang Ding didn't say much. In his opinion, Zhu Jun's choice of this position was still very good.
If you choose a prosperous place, you will easily become the target of public criticism.
If you choose a poor place, you won't be able to support so many soldiers.
It's too far to go to Liaodong. If a war breaks out, we won't even be able to drink soup.
Weihaiwei is neither near nor far, neither rich nor the poorest.
It is also far from the capital, but it is very important to connect the north and the south.
And if you live by the sea, there are few people who don’t do sea trade.
Zhu Jun also has the Shen family to rely on, so he will not worry about money.
Therefore, this is an extremely wise choice.
Zhu Jun chuckled, "Why don't you call your eldest brother-in-law and second brother-in-law over?"
Tang Ding couldn't help but shook his head, "That won't work, just let the third child go. If everyone goes, it will be no good for you!"
Going to a person can not only let Zhu Jun understand his own feelings, but also not give him a verbal thumb. It is justified both emotionally and rationally.
If you call all your sons over, what will that be?
Isn’t it a bet?
In less than two days, the whole world will know that Tang Ding is siding with King Wu. What do you want the emperor and the prince to think?
Isn't that just looking for trouble?
Seeing Tang Ding's timid appearance, Zhu Jun couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Forget it, if you don't come, don't come!"
After finishing the drink and sending the soup cauldron away, the night was already deep.
Just as he was about to go back to his room to rest, he saw Mrs. Deng coming over with sobering soup, "Second sister-in-law, why don't you go to bed so late?"
Deng was anxious, where could he sleep?
"Sixth brother, I will accompany you to Weihaiwei tomorrow!"
"No, what will it be like if you and your second brother stay in Zhongdu and follow me to Weihaiwei?" After Zhu Jun found out the details of Deng's family, he was not willing to get entangled with her.
Although the relationship between Deng and Guanyin Nu has eased a lot now, he doesn't have much favorable impressions of Deng or the Deng family.
Before, it was just to tease her and get a feel for her details.
"No, if you leave me in Fengyang, he, he will kill me." Deng walked up to Zhu Jun and said with red eyes: "You also know what he is thinking. When he learns that you want to surrender to the feudal lord, , if you don’t take him away, you threaten me and say that if you can’t convince you, you will torture me..."
As she said that, she put down the hangover soup and rolled up her sleeves, "Look, the marks on these hands were made by him!"
The candlelight in the room was very bright, and the bruises on Deng's hands were clearly visible at a glance.
Zhu Jun frowned. It would not be appropriate for Zhu Sha to continue to be under his command.
Judging from Lao Zhu's intentions, if the treasury hadn't been empty, he would have asked Zhu Sha to go and become a vassal state.
The reason why Zhu Sha is under his control is to sharpen his temper and to delay time.
Now that Lao Zhu's anger has dissipated, it is only a matter of time before Zhu Sha comes back.
Just let him come back?
This guy is also restless. If you say he has no other ideas, you won't believe it.
"Sixth brother, I beg you!" Deng was so excited that she hugged Zhu Jun.
Zhu Jun was startled and hurriedly pushed her, but Deng held her tightly and did not push her away for a while.
He said helplessly: "Second sister-in-law, if we are seen by outsiders like this, we will get misunderstood!"
Deng's eyes were red and she said: "This is Prince Wu's Mansion. We are all our own people. What is there to be afraid of? Besides, I have made peace with him, so what are you afraid of?"
Do you dislike me? "
Zhu Jun was numb. He forcefully opened Deng's hand and said, "Don't be anxious. Let me think about it. The more anxious you are, the easier it is to cause trouble."
"Okay, then what do you think? I won't bother you!" Deng said hurriedly.
Zhu Jun sighed and sat down immediately. Deng gritted his teeth and squatted in front of Zhu Jun.
"what you do?"
Deng didn't say anything, she just hugged his feet and gently beat her legs, "You miss me, please leave me alone!"
"Second sister-in-law, this is not good..."
"Don't call me second sister-in-law. I'm not your second sister-in-law. I have nothing to do with Zhu Sha for a long time. If you call me second sister-in-law, I feel disgusted!" Deng corrected her: "From now on, just call me Yulian!"
Zhu Jun coughed dryly, "No, I, how about I call you second sister?"
"Okay, as long as you don't call me second sister-in-law, you can call me anything!" Deng was frightened today. Zhu Sha was furious and threatened to destroy the Deng family and kill himself. Not only that, he also said that he would kill Shang. C...
Zhu Jun didn't have much thoughts to begin with, and after drinking, Deng squatted in front of him again and started messing around, which made his mind confused.
"Second sister, tell me, do you want him to go with me, or do you not want him to go with me?"
"Of course I don't want to, but if he doesn't go with you, it means that he is very likely to become a vassal. If he becomes a vassal in the future, I will go with him. If I leave you, my life will be worse than death.
Therefore, I still hope that you will bring him with you, so that I can follow you and serve you legitimately! "
