Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Chang Shi Fu Kuang stood outside the gate of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, waiting for the reception of Qi Wang Xiao Jie with a worried expression on his face.

He knew he shouldn't come. After all, Cui Yin and the others had just been imprisoned in a prison van and taken to the capital for interrogation. Today's Xiao Jie can be said to be the same in the whole Jiaozhou. He should be wise and safe at this time and not touch Xiao Jie. moldy head.

But for the people and future of Jiaozhou, and for Xiao Jie himself, he must come to persuade Xiao Jie.

Today, when he heard that Xiao Jie sent people to recruit recruits at the gate of the city, he didn't think much about it. After all, the original Jiaozhou soldiers basically died in Jiaozhou with the former governor Li Rui, so recruiting recruits was indeed the first urgent matter.

But when he heard the monthly salary and treatment given to the recruits by the cavalry, he suddenly felt bad. Although he didn't understand why King Qi would give recruits such outrageous preferential treatment, he felt that King Qi was still too young to be Considering the actual situation in Jiaozhou, it is impossible to afford such a high cost of recruits anyway. Once the food and salaries of these recruits cannot be paid in the future, it is very likely that a mutiny will be triggered, and it will be too late to regret by then!

Before he came to the Metropolitan Governor, he made a detour to Sima Song'an's mansion, and wanted him to persuade Xiao Jie together. After all, military affairs were Song An's job, but Song An excused his illness and refused to see him. It is clear that he dare not offend the king of Qi, and would rather let the king of Qi mess around.

Fu Kuang had no choice but to come to see Xiao Jie alone. He had already made up his mind that even if he offended the King of Qi today, he had to persuade him to withdraw his order. You should also do what you can, and you must not be so nonsense.

With this mentality, Fu Kuang was taken to the study of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion by Xiao Jie's personal soldiers, and Xiao Jie was sitting behind the desk looking at him with a smile.

"Your Majesty, Fu Kuang, see His Royal Highness King Qi."

Although he had made up his mind to speak out and commit crimes, when he saw Xiao Jie, he still felt tense for no reason.He is not stupid, he also understands the character of Cui Yin, the deputy governor, and knows that the assassination of Xiao Jie is absolutely impossible to be done by Cui Yin, but Xiao Jie successfully used this assassination to drive Cui Yin and his henchmen away. Out of Jiaozhou.

If he hadn't visited the sick person personally, and had seen Xiao Jie dying of poison, he would have suspected that the assassination was directed and acted by King Qi himself.

Xiao Jie seemed to be pale due to recovering from a serious injury. He pointed to the seat beside him and said with a smile, "Fu Changshi doesn't need to be so polite, please sit down!"

Fu Kuang thanked Xiao Jie, got up and found a seat to sit down, and then a soldier brought a cup of steaming tea and put it on the desk beside Fu Kuang.

Fu Kuang didn't have the mind to drink some tea, but out of politeness, he picked up the tea and reluctantly drank a sip, pondered for a while, and decided to say a few words first: "Your Highness is just recovering from a serious injury, you should take more rest, you don't have to work so hard. "

Xiao Jie had actually guessed his reason for coming, but seeing that he refused to speak directly, he had no choice but to chat with him: "Thank you Fu Changshi for your concern, I am in good health, and there are many affairs in Jiaozhou, but I can't delay for a moment."

Fu Kuang laughed dryly, and his tone was a little insincere: "Your Highness has such a heart, it is the blessing of Jiaozhou and the people of Jiaozhou, but your Highness is new to Jiaozhou, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask your subordinates, you will know. There is no end to words.”

Xiao Jie smiled slightly: "So, I really want to ask Fu Changshi something."

"Your Highness may wish to speak bluntly!"

Fu Kuang was secretly delighted, it was best for Xiao Jie to ask him for advice if he had any questions, he also had the opportunity to sell a favor to King Qi, with this relationship, Xiao Jie might be able to listen to his own advice.

Xiao Jie smiled playfully, and said with a half-smile: "What I want to ask is, did Fu Changshi come to see me, did he want to tell me that the rations and treatment given to the soldiers are too high, and Jiaozhou's financial resources may not be able to support and maintain them? I hope that I will take back my life and reduce the treatment of recruits, I don’t know if I’m guessing right?”

Fu Kuang sat on the seat for a while, but after a while, his face showed bitterness, it turned out that King Qi knew everything and guessed everything.

Now that the conversation has come to this point, Fu Kuang no longer hides it, and directly said: "Your Highness is right, I am indeed here to persuade His Highness for this matter. Your Highness has lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and may not know Jiaozhou. ..."

"I know the current situation in Jiaozhou very well, but I want to ask Fu Changshi a question." Xiao Jie interrupted Fu Kuang with a direct smile, and asked him instead.

Fu Kuang nodded: "Your Highness, please."

Xiao Jie smiled faintly: "My previous Governor General Li led [-] Jiaozhou children to die in Jiaozhi a few months ago. Everyone in Jiaozhou knows it. Who dares to enlist in the army?"

Fu Kuang was speechless for a while when asked by Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie continued to ask unceremoniously: "If our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion can't recruit new soldiers for a long time, if at this time those chieftains see an opportunity to take advantage of it and take advantage of the situation to start a rebellion, where will we get soldiers to suppress the rebellion. "

Fu Kuang sighed for a long time. He also knew that what Xiao Jie said was true, but he still felt that Xiao Jie's behavior was no different from drinking poison to quench thirst. If you want to lower it, it will be an army mutiny, and the entire Jiaozhou will be involved in the flames of war.But if it is not lowered, such a high military expenditure will sooner or later drag down Jiaozhou's finances and economy, and the entire Jiaozhou will be in chaos.

Thinking of this, Fu Kuang felt more and more heavy. He didn't know how to persuade Xiao Jie, but he was deeply worried about the future of Jiaozhou.

Xiao Jie is the prince, the emperor will transfer him back to the capital at any time when the weather clears, but the big mess left in the end is not left to them, the local officials of Jiaozhou, to deal with the aftermath.

Looking at Fu Kuang's expression, Xiao Jie could see what he was worried about, and he was a little angry and funny.He knew that although this Fu Kuang was a little pedantic, he was still a good person. A few days ago, so many officials reported Cui Yin in the memorial, but he didn't take any action. It can be seen that he is not the kind of villain who makes trouble. Stay for so many years.

Now he is willing to take the risk of offending himself and come to the door to persuade himself. It can be seen that he is really thinking about the future of Jiaozhou.

Based on this point, Xiao Jie would never make things difficult for him.

Whether Fu Kuang believes it or not, what Xiao Jie should say is: "Fu Changshi, since my father sent me to govern Jiaozhou, he just hopes that I can make a difference in Jiaozhou. As long as I give time, I will definitely make Jiaozhou the tenth place in Daning. The most prosperous and richest state among the four states, when the time comes, you will find that this amount of military expenditure is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Jiaozhou, not worth mentioning at all!"

Fu Kuang was stunned for a moment, it was not dark yet, why His Royal Highness King Qi started talking nonsense.
