Faced with Song Weikai's remarks, Zhu Chen could be said to be very dismissive...
Su Yi has once again reiterated to him that as long as he can help Fengwu Army peacefully win Jiangnan, then Fengwu Army will fulfill its promise and Zhu Chen will become the new Chief Envoy of Jiangnan.
In addition, Su Yi has stated that a small but confidential meeting will be held in Ye Mansion in the next few days. At that time, Marshal Ye, Cui Shao, Gu Sansi and other Fengwu Army officials will all Attend this meeting.
He, Zhu Chen, will also be invited to attend this meeting, where he will be introduced to Marshal Ye and introduce the situation in Jiangnan to these Fengwu Army senior officials!
So with the Fengwu Army's promise, Zhu Chen didn't care about Lu Jianchao's rewards at all. He only had one idea in his mind now, and that was to do his best to help the Fengwu Army seize Jiangnan, and then become the Chief Envoy of Jiangnan!
For Zhu Chen, who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, becoming the chief envoy of the south of the Yangtze River is his biggest wish in life. If he achieves this, his life will be complete!
Therefore, Song Weikai's persuasion not only did not make Zhu Chen change his mind, but made Zhu Chen feel funny!
Although Zhu Chen didn't listen to Song Weikai's words at all, Zhu Chen was an old bureaucrat who had been in the officialdom for decades, so he didn't directly refute Song Weikai.
Under Song Weikai's gaze, Zhu Chen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, and then said calmly:
"Mr. Song, let me tell you clearly, the situation in our Jiangnan is different from your Sichuan and Shu..."
As soon as he said this, before Zhu Chen could continue, Song Weikai's heart sank and he had a bad premonition, and it was at this moment that Zhu Chen spoke slowly:
'Mr. Song, you still have natural dangers in Sichuan and Shu, but the Fengwu Army has now captured Huainan, and the natural dangers of Nanjiang are no longer a deterrent to them! '
"As the saying goes, those who understand current affairs are heroes. With the current momentum of the Fengwu Army, we in Jiangnan cannot resist it!"
"We, Governor Lu, have always loved the people in Jiangnan and could not bear the suffering of the people in the war, so we want to resolve this matter peacefully with the Fengwu Army!"
"This is the right way! If you harm the people for your own selfish interests and then suffer the disaster of war, then it will be abandoned by both humans and gods, and it is shameful for the world!"
"Mr. Song, I suggest you give your elder brother a good advice. Thank you for the general trend of the world. It will take a long time to unite and unite. Marshal Ye is a rare hero in the world, and he is admired by all people. It is his destiny to be in the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future. Home!"
"If there are still people in this world who want to separate one side and establish themselves as kings, that would be rebellious!"
What Zhu Chen said made Song Weikai's heart feel cold, making him immediately realize that Zhu Chen might have completely turned to the Fengwu Army!
Taking a deep look at Zhu Chen, who was applying indifferently, Song Weikai asked in a deep voice:
"Master Zhu, what do you mean by this is that Governor Lu and the Fengwu Army have reached an agreement? Or maybe you have reached an agreement with the Fengwu Army... ········”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Chen's expression suddenly changed slightly, and then he said in a deep voice:
"Song Weikai, I am the representative personally appointed by Governor Lu to negotiate peacefully with the Fengwu Army. I fully represent Governor Lu!"
Hearing this, Song Weikai snorted with disdain. Knowing that there was no point in talking to Zhu Chen, he immediately walked away!
Seeing Song Weikai leaving, Zhu Chen was also very angry and felt that Song Weikai was too rude!
Song Weikai had neither an official position nor a title, so he called him Mr. Song just for the sake of his brother. How dare he be so arrogant and rude? He was really a barbarian from the countryside who knew no etiquette at all!
The more Zhu Chen thought about it, the angrier he became. He also made up his mind that when he went to see Ye Mingsheng in a few days, he would learn from Marshal Ye about Song Weikai. He couldn't deal with this bastard in Yi Jing, but some people could. Him, let him understand etiquette and why the flowers are so red!
Song Weikai, who left Jufuyuan Inn at this time, naturally didn't know what Zhu Chen was thinking. He was now full of anger and disappointment!
In order to deal with the rising Fengwu Army, he originally hoped that Jiangnan could stand with them. Everyone faced the Fengwu Army with the same breath.
In this way, when facing the Fengwu Army, everyone will have a greater say, and the Fengwu Army will be able to use more defensive weapons... ·····
For this reason, Song Weikai also has great hopes for Zhu Chen. Although he does not know what conditions the Fengwu Army offered Zhu Chen, judging from Zhu Chen's current performance, it is obvious that Zhu Chen has betrayed Lu Jianchao and was The Fengwu Army was bribed!
What Song Weikai is most worried about now is that there is not only one Zhu Chen in Jiangnan who holds such an idea, but if most of the gentry and bureaucrats in Jiangnan hold such an idea!
So how can the isolated Sichuan and Shu resist the strong pressure exerted by the Fengwu Army?
When he thought that the scene he was most worried about might become an unchangeable reality, Song Weikai felt extremely heavy!
Although he was in a bad mood and felt that these Jiangnan people were weak and useless, Song Weikai still did not forget his mission of traveling thousands of miles to come to Yijing!
Half an hour later, he came to the Foreign Affairs Bureau Yamen again, wanting to meet Su Yi and get some ideas about Marshal Ye from him.
The last few times I met Su Yi, this guy always found various excuses to shirk, but would not give himself a positive answer!
And the last time I looked for him two days ago, I didn't even see his face. He was blocked by his subordinate Su Yi from going to the Fengwu Army Central Academy for a meeting!
This time Song Weikai made up his mind that no matter what, he would meet with Su Yi to see what kind of attitude Marshal Ye had towards Sichuan and Sichuan... ·············
With this idea in mind, Song Weikai walked into the yamen of the Foreign Affairs Bureau with his head held high. Just as he was brewing emotions in his heart and preparing for a verbal battle with Su Yilai, the guards of the Foreign Affairs Bureau noticed him and immediately took him to the office. He was stopped.
Song Weikai, who was already furious when he saw this, said angrily:
"I am an envoy from Sichuan. I have something important to discuss with Director Su. Why don't you get out of here?"
Facing Song Weikai's anger, the guard said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:
"This is an important place for the government, not a vegetable market, and it is not accessible to just anyone else. You must issue documents that can prove your identity and indicate your intention to come!"
Song Weikai was undoubtedly even more furious, and immediately wanted to force his way into the Foreign Affairs Bureau yamen and make a big fuss to force Su Yi out!
But when he took a step forward, the spear with cold light in the guard's hand was directly in front of him!
Feeling the coldness of the spear in front of him, Song Weikai's impulsive head calmed down a bit. At this time, the followers around him also pulled him back.
Under the pull of the entourage, Song Weikai got on the carriage returning to the inn. The entourage who was driving the carriage kept comforting Song Weikai, saying that a good man will not suffer the loss in front of him. Sir, you have a noble status and cannot afford to compete with those guards... ···············
Song Weikai said nothing amidst the comforting sounds of his entourage. At this time, the anger in his heart had receded, and he had realized that today's things were not as simple as they seemed!
How could the guards dare to point spears at themselves without Su Yi's instructions? Moreover, when he and the guards were in such trouble, no Foreign Affairs Bureau official came to take a look. This was already very illustrative of the situation. It was obvious that Su Yi was now I don’t want to see myself, I don’t want to face my own problems!
Thinking of this, Song Weikai couldn't help clenching his hands into fists. After thinking carefully for a while, he ordered to his entourage:
"In a moment, go to the grain store in Yijing and ask what the price of grain is now. Then go to the drugstore to ask what the current prices are for the current golden sore medicine and other ingredients. Can you buy it in large quantities?"
After hearing Song Weikai's inquiry, the attendant couldn't help but asked with concern:
"Sir, why are you buying medicine? Did those Qiu Ba from the Fengwu Army hurt you?"
Song Weikai said impatiently:
"Just go if you are told. How can there be so much nonsense?"
"I understand. After I send you back to the inn, I will go to the grain store and pharmacy immediately!"
An hour later, Song Weikai was in the inn room, waiting for the entourage who came back to report.
"My lord, I visited several grain stores as you ordered and found that the price of grain in Yijing has not changed much. The price of grain is basically six or seven yuan per stone. You can buy it in any quantity. Around Yijing If you buy more in the area, you can also have it delivered to your door..."
Hearing this, Song Weikai raised his head slightly, the tension in his heart eased, and then continued to ask:
"How's the situation with the golden sore medicine in Yijing Pharmacy?"
Follow the unthinking sermon:
"As for the golden sore medicine sold in pharmacies, it has basically increased by 50%. Some medicinal materials have even doubled, and each person is limited to one purchase."
As soon as these words came out, Song Weikai's expression suddenly froze, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a clink, and he looked a little distracted!
After receiving such treatment in the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Song Weikai understood that Su Yi was deliberately supporting him, and this also made him think of the worst possibility!
So Song Weikai couldn't help but want to verify his idea, but unfortunately he basically had no foundation in Yijing, so he couldn't get confidential information about the movements of the Fengwu Army!
However, Song Weikai knew that Yijing was the core place of Fengwu Army's rule and an important distribution center for bulk commodities in the northern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so Song Weikai had an idea and wanted to judge Fengwu Army's thoughts through the prices of food and medicine!
If the Fengwu Army wants to use force, it will inevitably make pre-war preparations and gather strategic materials such as food and medicine. And hoarding a large amount of materials will inevitably cause a shortage of materials in the market. As a result, the price of things will naturally rise. high!
Although there does not seem to be any fluctuation in food prices now, the huge increase in the drug Jinshangyao and the accompanying purchase restriction policy are very illustrative... ···············

····································
In a small village in the countryside of Hanyang, a very simple-looking farmer was looking up at the setting sun in front of him.
Behind him is a country couple doing some farm work. The man is repairing his rake, while the woman is feeding a group of chickens.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with this scene, but if you look closely, you will find that the rural woman who is feeding the chickens is secretly peeking at the farmer in front of her from time to time, while her husband is giving his wife a wink to tell her not to peek. Got it!
After watching for about a cup of tea, the farmer looked up at the sky and turned around and walked to the toilet nearby, as if he was about to go out.
Seeing this, the peasant woman finally got a chance, came to her husband and asked in a low voice:
"Who is Zhuzhu? Aren't you an orphan? Where did such a big brother appear again?"
Hearing his wife's words, Liu Zhuzhu looked helpless and whispered:
"You woman, stop asking random questions and hurry up and prepare the rice! I'll kill a chicken later and you stew the chicken!"
The daughter-in-law said somewhat unhappily:
"In the past few days since he's been here, you've been eating either fish or chicken every day. How can we let him eat like this?"
"I think he is not your eldest brother, he is your father. You should serve him more filially than you serve your own father..." ··”
Hearing his wife's complaints, Liu Zhuzhu felt very helpless. It would be great if the other party was really his biological father. He didn't have to worry about this now!
In fact, his name is not Liu Zhuzhu, but his surname is Wang. He is from Anqing. The reason why he came here under the pseudonym Liu Zhuzhu is entirely because he joined Qianhu Guard a few years ago and was assigned here!
The initial arrangement given to him by Shangfeng was to lurk and serve as a relay station for transmitting messages. In order to better hide his identity, Liu Tiezhu also married a wife in the village. However, what Liu Tiezhu did not expect was that besides the first paragraph Time, after he passed the message several times, he could no longer contact his superior!
Liu Tiezhu was surprised by this, but also very lucky at the same time. After all, he was a Qianhuwei agent lurking in enemy-occupied areas!
It's self-evident to lick blood from the edge of a knife. Once his identity is exposed, the consequences are self-evident, and not being able to contact the peak means that there is no mission, and without the mission, the risk of his exposure will naturally be greatly reduced... ···················
