Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 163 Great Bravery?

Not long after, an old man in a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat trotted forward and saluted, "I've seen your majesty before."

Su Zhaodao: "Li Hucao, didn't you say repeatedly before Gu that you must ensure meals for the soldiers and civilians on the embankment? Why is it only a little more than a day, and there is no oily oil in the meals?"

Previously, according to Su's orders, the meals were mostly meat and meat, and brown sugar, jujube and ginger soup was also cooked to prevent the wind and cold.

Building embankments in the rain, once caught wind and cold, is no joke.

Although the doctor has set up a canopy not far away to diagnose and treat at any time, but it can be prevented, so we should try to prevent it as much as possible, otherwise it will delay the progress of the project, which is especially bad.

Li Hucao took a peek at Su Zhao's face, and considered his words: "I am about to report to the emperor, and I have already ordered people to buy fish, sheep, chickens and ducks in the county and city, but the supplies in Fengle County are in short supply, and the price is also high. rise."

Obviously Li Hucao's prevarication skills are not inferior to Pan Weicao's just now.

Su Zhao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Fengle County has always been rich in products, and has always been known as the commercial capital of the seven counties in our country. Zhulin County is more extensive in animal husbandry, and Qingpu County is also a land of fish and rice. How can there be a shortage of supplies?"

Li Hu Cao said: "Your Majesty does not know that [-]% of the pastures in Zhulin County belong to the Jiang family's property. The Jiang family in the county town heard that the county government bought fish and sheep to drive up prices. Compared with before, the price has dropped. The price increase has more than doubled. Not only the Jiang family, but other prices such as rain gear, mules and horses, wine, ginger, brown sugar, and even rice grains have also increased. Store less, and you will be safe for the time being."

At this moment, Zhou Guangji had revealed to several other families the hidden fact that the county government was short of manpower to renovate the embankment of the Honghe River. Almost all the Wang family in Fengle County concluded that the two counties of Qingpu and Zhulin might be in danger of flooding.

Jiang's ranch is located in Zhulin County, so naturally it bears the brunt of the disaster. Even if the property can be annexed after the disaster, the losses caused by the flood should be made up for immediately.

Seeing the massive purchases by the county government, prices were raised.

"The Jiang family..." Su Zhao's eyes were cold, and he remained silent.

He found that he was too lenient with these noble families, recorded in the record, and liquidated afterwards?

I'm afraid that before the incident, this group of people who did not accomplish enough and did more than enough to do bad things will already affect his plan to build the embankment!
"This matter will be dealt with alone." Su Zhao waved his hand and told Li Hucao to retreat, and then continued to take Peng Ji to inspect the river embankment, still thinking about the aristocratic family of Fengle County.

Speaking of it, he didn't find it difficult. In this era, the power of the monarch is greater than the sky. As long as he doesn't worry about his reputation being labeled as violent, he can even be charged with crimes, send armored soldiers, ransack his family and destroy his family, and torture his property.

As for reputation, if a great cause is achieved, it will be whitewashed and justified by literati.

"Unite the majority and strike a small group. These noble families in the county can't take it easy for the time being. Otherwise, the price will soar and chaos will arise in the rear, and the situation will become more complicated." Su Zhao's eyes were dim, thinking about the solution.

At this time, Zou Yi had already returned to the embankment in the distance, begging to see Su Zhao.

"Zou Qing, how's the situation?" Su Zhao looked at the river embankment below with neither joy nor anger, and asked.

"Back to your lord, the prefects of the eight counties, I successively visited the four families of Zhou, Li, Song, and Jiang, but they were all either euphemistically or flatly rejected. Later, I went to visit several small and medium-sized families and collected a total of [-] shi. , seven hundred boy servants, and several other families, the minister will still visit." Zou Yi felt a little ashamed, and only achieved such a small result after a busy day.

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, then asked: "Zou Qing, have you not been wronged?
Zou Yi said: "How dare I speak bitterly, it's just that the Zhou and Jiang families are very domineering, but they treat me as a door-to-door hoax!"

When mentioning these two families, Zou Yi was still indignant, even though he was put on eye drops.

Su Zhao said indifferently: "Tomorrow I will go back to the county alone and summon these county princes. Zou Qing, you can send someone to inform the county prince's family, not only these families, but also some small and medium gentry families. As for Zhou Jiang Er home...you don't need to know."

When Zou Yi heard this, she thought about the deep meaning of those four words, and her heart shuddered for no reason.

"Zou Qing, it's getting late, you should go down and have a rest too." Su Zhao waved his hand to let the complicated Zou Yi go down.

Su Zhao took a deep breath, and said coldly, "If you don't eat a toast, you will be punished!"

If it is someone else's master, he will take it into consideration, but his great power belongs to himself, and he has the loyalty of the army. As long as he is in the position of prince for one day, he will not hesitate to torture these rebels who can't see the situation clearly!

"Tomorrow, give your generation another chance. If you are unkind, ignorant of the general situation, and attack your body with swords and axes again, don't cry for injustice!" Su Zhao made up his mind.

But at this moment, the five hundred imperial guards who were fully armed and escorting Su Zhao's car were tearing through the rain curtain and coming on a starry night. The extension of the young prince's will has gradually tasted bloody.

It was late at night, and it was still raining heavily outside the window, crackling plantains, and the night was hazy and blurred.

In Zhou's house, under the east window, several clusters of candles danced non-stop, elongated figures, both men and women, gathered together.

Zhou Guangji sat on the main seat, the astonishment remained on his old face, he frowned and said, "Mr. Fan, why are you here?"

"Recently something happened in Wenyi. I just heard the news. I stopped by to see you and discuss some things with Mr. Zhou." Fan Tai said with a smile, shaking his folding fan lightly.

On the side, his younger sister Fan Xiao was talking to Zheng Yun'er, and there were several followers around, among them Xu Chun was in the crowd, with a gloomy expression on his face.

Previously, Xu Chun was sent back by Su Zhao, and he issued a sea arrest document in Su State. With the help of Gu Diao, Xu Chun quickly left Su State and fled to Yingyin, border county of Zheng State. Contact Fan Tai through the agreed contact method.

When Fan Tai heard that the gang he supported in Wenyi was wiped out by being involved in the Su Mao corruption case, he planned to go to Wenyi to check it out. He passed Fengle County, and suddenly remembered Zhou Guangji, so he came to visit.

After all, it is imminent for Zheng Guo to send troops to destroy the Soviet Union, and it is necessary for him to come here to reduce some resistance for Zheng Jun to take over Fengle County in the future.

Then, after Zheng Yun'er heard about it, she became interested and came with Fan Xiao.

Zhou Guangji frowned, his old voice was full of dissatisfaction, and said: "Su Hou has arrived in Fengle County to supervise the construction of the embankment, Mr. Fan, it is too dangerous for you to come here."

It's not that Mr. Fan is dangerous, but that his Zhou family is dangerous. If someone finds out that he has a connection with Zheng Guo, it will be a disaster for the entire family!
Fan Tai didn't care about Zhou Guangji's thoughts. Instead, he was aroused by Zhou Guangji's words about Suhou and Fengle, and said, "Suhou and Fengle County? What's going on? Please tell the old man carefully." .”

A crazy thought came to his mind, if he sent someone to assassinate, wouldn't it be possible to settle the country of Su without a fight.

If he succeeds, his name of Fan Tai Mitian's bravery will shake the heavens!
Xia Houzhu, standing beside him with a sword in his hand, frowned imperceptibly, especially when he saw Fan Tai's eyes flickering coldly, his mind was clouded, and he had clearly guessed Fan Tai's plan.

"The law does not add nobles, the king of a country, the safety of millions of lives is involved, the son must not be reckless!"

Xia Houzhu couldn't bear the sound transmission of his spiritual thoughts and reminded him.

"Miss Xiahou, I have my own sense of propriety." Fan Tai's spiritual sense sound transmission sounded almost quickly, and there was clearly dissatisfaction in the voice.

Xiahou Zhuxiu frowned slightly, Li Yingxiu frowned, secretly thought, this Mr. Fan didn't listen to his instructions last time, and dedicated the poisonous plan of breaking the embankment to Sima Zheng Guoda. Fortunately, Pang Guan had his own opinion and didn't choose to obey, otherwise it would be humane The backlash of luck and doom added to the body is simply not something Fan Tai and she can resist.

Zheng Yun'er looked at Fan Tai and Zhou Guangji talking, her eyes moved slightly, thoughtfully.

Zhou Guangji said: "Your Majesty is on the embankment now. I heard that he has brought some entourages with him. Yiwei's imperial army is still on the way."

Fan Tai's eyes lit up, and his mind became more and more lively.
