I don't want to be king

Maybe he can surpass Jiang Zhen!

The provincial general butcher is frightened in front of him every day.

"That's good,"

The butcher sighed, "We don't have that life."

Pork Rong said loudly, "Okay, don't be so emotional, let's go drink."

Before he got to the door, he heard a loud noise.

The butcher stood on the threshold, looked at a group of soldiers walking straight past, and then looked at the chattering people on both sides, frowned and said, "This time it's really a big mess, and the defenders outside the city are also dispatched."

Pork Rong stretched his neck and looked around, but he didn't see anyone he knew, so he asked curiously, "How do you know it's the defenders outside the city?"

The butcher smiled and said, "The leader is Jin Datong. He was originally a great monk in the Baiyun Temple. He often went to my place to secretly buy meat to eat. When Baiyun City recruited soldiers, because of his skill, he directly became a junior The captain, later made meritorious service in Yueyang, was promoted to join the army, and is now the commander of the Seventh Army of the troops stationed in Ankang City."

Zhu Rourong said, "So it's him. I've only heard his name before, but I haven't seen him before."

Jiang Tuhu said, "He was a monk originally just to make a living. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally doesn't want to be a monk anymore. He is a remarkable person."

"I heard that this time, Wang Ye and I are going to personally lead the army into Chuanzhou."

There was no one around Rourong, but he still whispered, "Again, it is said that there are 10 civilian husbands alone."

"Want to conquest with the prince?"

The butcher was taken aback. His daughter was always the catcher, and he had never heard the news.

"Keep down,"

Rourourong said angrily, "Are you afraid that others will not know?"

"Where did you get the news?"

The butcher will be puzzled.

Zhu Rourong glared at him and said, "Don't worry about it, it's probably close to ten."

"Chuanzhou is now under the rule of the prince, why does the prince want to conscript himself?"

The butcher still doesn't believe it.

Isn't this superfluous?

"Humph,"

Zhu Rourong snorted coldly, "In Chuanzhou, Jinguan City is where the army is stationed, and the surrounding areas still don't listen to orders.

If it is true, do you think we should join the army? "

"You are a fool if you don't join the army,"

At this moment, the butcher had no intention of going back to Sanhe, so he said in a high-spirited way, "How much does our butcher shop cost?"

"hey-hey……"

Pork Rong immediately understood!

How did they get rich?

Of course, no one knows better than themselves!

Their first pot of gold came from being soldiers and civilian husbands!

Moreover, except for some effort, there is no cost at all!

A real money grab!

Now the military discipline is strict, such things as demolishing houses and stealing houses are not allowed, but there are still opportunities to make money everywhere!

Buying and selling old clothes, food, wood, and jewelry can still make good money!

The earning is no less than that of being a supplier!

What's more, that is Chuanzhou, the land of abundance!

For many generations, the people have been peaceful, the rich and the officials, they are so rich!

Maybe it is stronger than the land of Jiangnan!

Chapter 498 Patience

To use the same words as the prince: No matter how rich the land in the south of the Yangtze River is, it won't be able to hold back such wool!

Since Emperor Yongguang came to power, heavy taxes have been imposed on the land in the south of the Yangtze River.

When it came to Emperor Delong, the world was rotten, and all people were counting on taxes from the south of the Yangtze River!

When I entered the land of Jiangnan with the prince, I really couldn't bear to increase the tax, so I had to search the houses of the wealthy families in Jiangnan.

The army went to the northern part of the Great Wall, and there was a lot of money and food. He Jixiang fell asleep all night because of the lack of money, but he still didn't dare to raise taxes in the south of the Yangtze River, and tearfully squeezed Jizhou.

Most of the refugees in Ankang City are from Jizhou and Qizhou!

In desperation, some poor families who can't live on have secretly cleaned their children, and are going to send them to the palace to beg for food, so as not to starve to death.

However, news has spread from the palace that there are no vacancies and no recruitment.

As for whether it was meant with the prince, it is not known.

It is said that Prince He once thought about abolishing the eunuch system, but was reprimanded by Concubine Yuan Gui in the palace.

"no,"

Jiang Butcher stared again and said, "You haven't said how you know?

Is the news reliable or not?

Don't get ready, the money will be wasted later. "

Pork Rong said with a smile, "This time the army will go out for an expedition, and the supplier conference will be held again soon."

The butcher gave him a blank look and said, "I've heard about this, but that's not what I asked, I want to ask how you know you're going to conscript with the prince yourself?"

It stands to reason that this kind of thing must be top secret, and it is absolutely impossible for Zhurou Rong to hear it, otherwise, he will definitely beheaded from the Ministry of War to the Dudu Mansion!

No matter how uneducated he is, he also knows that this is Liang Lvzhong's crime of leaking secrets!

Who dares to take this risk?

Do you really want to die?

"This……"

Pork Rong obviously hesitated.

But he knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the general butcher would not give up. After pondering for a while, he said, "The palace has changed defenses. Liu Kan's standard-bearer guards have come out of the palace and are training at the garrison near us."

"It's normal to switch defenses,"

The butcher smiled and said, "What does this mean?"

"The standard-bearer guards are the honor guards of the emperor. If they are just mobilized, it doesn't mean much. The key is that they have been recruiting sea ships these days. Jiang Kan's navy is currently docking on the coast of Qizhou, and they will go south with the army,"

Seeing that he was going to interrupt, Zhu Rourong waved his hand and interrupted, "Listen to me, if it's just transporting generals, do you need Jiang Kan to personally escort them?

Although I don't like this bastard, he is also an admiral of the navy now, a senior member of the first rank. "

"Except for the prince, there is indeed no one worthy of his escort,"

The butcher frowned and said, "However, you are just guessing, and you are still not sure. It will not be too late for us to make preparations after the supplier meeting is held."

Zhurourong jumped up and said, "I can't wait, you don't remember what happened last year?

As soon as I heard that the army went out to fight, the price of food and meat has doubled. You and I have been working hard in the winter, taking the guys to the countryside to collect live pigs. Don’t you know how tired you are?

Now the Ministry of War and the governor of Ankang have begun to recruit large ships by the canal. This time the dispatch of troops to Chuanzhou is probably a certainty. "

Jiang Tuhu shook his head and said, "You're talking nonsense again. My junior college is not what it used to be. Whether it is Jingzhou, Yuezhou, or Yong'an, there are my Sanhe garrisons. Where can I not deploy troops? Why come all the way from Ankang? City past.

What's more, he and the prince still took a sea boat to Jinling City and entered Chuanzhou along the river, which meant that they would not bring many people with them at all. At that time, they would definitely transfer troops from the nearest Yuezhou, Chuzhou, and Jingzhou to Chuanzhou. "

Pork Rong said, "Then we can't do this business?"

"Disaster,"

The butcher rubbed his chin, "The grain in Ankang City was originally transferred from Yuzhou and Jiangnan. At the end of last year, when the grain was soaring, Lord He Jixiang also specially exempted the grain merchants from Nanyang from tax.

He Wangye even directly awarded a friendship award to a big businessman in Asoka, allowing him to walk in Ankang City with a knife.

It's not like you don't know how sensational the grain merchant was riding his horse through the streets at that time.

Although food is not so tight now, Lord He Jixiang will not allow grain adjustment to Chuanzhou no matter what.

In the past few years, Yuezhou, Hongzhou, and Chuzhou have been exempted from taxes, there has been no war, and the granaries are full. There must be no problem in supplying Chuanzhou. "

Pork Rong said, "Then you mean we should go to Yuezhou or Hongzhou in advance?"

Jiang Butcher shook his head and said, "If we really want to go to Chuanzhou, it is estimated that the supplier conference has already been held in Yuezhou and Hongzhou, so there is no chance for us."

"Hey,"

Pork Rong sighed, "This business is getting harder and harder."

Jiang Tuhu snorted coldly, "Otherwise, I would want to go back to Sanhe?"

Rourou Rong said, "Then let's just watch?"

"Of course not,"

The butcher thought for a while and said, "Chuanzhou is far away, and the war must not be over so soon. Let's set off now and go directly to Chuanzhou. Even if we can't be a supplier, we can still pick up a leak. Some soup is better than nothing." powerful."

"Okay, I'll arrange people now, let's follow the official path."

Pork Rong hurried away after speaking.

The sun is just right.

Lin Yi squatted by the lotus pond in the imperial garden, throwing fish and food into the pond one after another, without looking at Emperor Delong sitting behind him with a gloomy face, he just said casually, "In terms of kung fu, my son can't compare with it." Father, but when it comes to raising fish and walking dogs, the son is more confident than father."

After Emperor Delong took a sip of tea, the little eunuch took the cup of tea and said coldly, "You are really my good son."

Lin Yi turned his head, looked at the unsuspecting Emperor Delong, and said with a smile, "Father, the emperor has praised you."

Suddenly, there was a thud, and ripples appeared in the lotus pond, and the fish in it were still rushing forward.

"Baby, you are so strong that you can even throw stones,"

Lin Yi picked up the daughter next to him, scratched her little nose, and made her giggle, "Okay, the sun is over, it's time to take a nap."

"The slaves retire."

Zixia hugged the little girl and led a group of guards away.

Lin Yi said proudly to Emperor Delong, "How about it, your granddaughter is quite cute, right?"

"I misread you,"

Emperor Delong narrowed his eyes and said, "So patient."

Lin Yi said, "Of course my child loves it, how could he be impatient?"

Emperor Delong said indifferently, "I thought you would ascend the throne directly. Since I am old, that position should be yours."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I said I'm not interested in the throne, do you believe it?"

Seeing Emperor Delong's refusal, he sighed, "My son really just wants to eat and wait to die, sleep until he wakes up naturally, and count the money until his hand cramps, but so many people persecute him and prevent him from resting in peace.

The son had no choice but to take this step. "

Chapter 499 Trust

What he said was the truth.

Although he is pampered and pampered in this life, it is only relative to ordinary people.

No games, no Internet, entertainment depends on self-indulgence...

It was too hot to suffocate, and it could only rely on a fan, and then explode on the spot...

Rely on donkeys and sedan chairs when going out, bumping back and forth.

Communication relies on shouting.
