Chapter 024: Meeting

The two children, one big and one small, sometimes hug each other and cry, sometimes whisper intimately, sometimes comfort each other, cry and laugh at the same time.

?b i q u?g?e?.

?c?n Even a fool could see that His Highness had an unusual relationship with him in this situation. Wang De, who was standing aside, felt very unhappy in his heart, but it was definitely not jealousy, but rather a bit sour. He had been serving in the palace for many years.

Many masters have never experienced such true feelings. However, he also understood why His Highness showed great distrust in him and was determined to find his former partner.

Jiang Zongjie, who had been shouting to kill just now, fell silent. The soldiers who chased in also put down their weapons and wept silently. They were also people who had experienced life and death, and knew that only brothers who had shared life and death would be like this, and they were more serious than usual.

People cherish and understand this kind of emotion that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. From this, I think of the dead brothers who were so honest and honest with each other.

Zhao Bing was also upset. In his previous life, he had experienced too many intrigues, and was used and deceived by his boss, until he took the blame for him. It was said that he had done his best, but in the end he was still abandoned by him.

It is said that from that time on, Zhao Bing had an insurmountable obstacle in his heart and no longer trusted people lightly.

But today, Ni Liang once again taught Zhao Bing a lesson. He was a stranger to him, but he left his family with his father to rescue him, risking his own life to rescue him, and never abandoning him to protect his safety. Now he is sending him to

Returning to the court was supposed to fulfill his father's last wish. But Ni Liang still followed him here without knowing his news and attitude. Zhao Bing asked himself that he couldn't do it now. You can imagine how moved he was...

"Your Highness, do you have anything to tell me?" Ni Liang changed his clothes, ate and drank, and felt much better. However, looking at His Highness's frown, he also realized that something was on his mind.

"Oh, you haven't had a good rest for many days, so you should take a nap first!" Zhao Bing said as he pulled Ni Liang's clothes. He was tall and Wang De couldn't find suitable clothes, so he found one from the guarding soldiers, but

It's also one size too small, as if it's hanging on the body.

"Your Highness, my body is very strong. Besides, I also took a few naps. It doesn't matter. If you need anything, just ask me."

"Okay, do you know where Zhao Da, Zheng Hu and the others are staying temporarily?" Zhao Bing thought for a while and said, although he couldn't bear it, but now he didn't know anything about the outside world, and he felt really uneasy.

"I know that they are camping at the foot of the mountain less than five miles away. Your Highness wants to see them." Ni Liang replied.

"Okay, then you go and summon them to the mansion, and also inquire about the situation of those who came with us from Quanzhou," Zhao Bing said.

Ni Liang took the order and left. Zhao Bing also told Wang De that Ni Liang could enter the inner palace at any time if something happened without notification. But after all, it was not as good as on the ship. After all, there were women in the palace. Ni Liang could not always be by his side like before.

Being able to arrange a residence in the front house, he also had the opportunity to take a closer look at his 'mansion'.

Under Wang De's introduction, Zhao Bing learned that this place was owned by the Zheng family in Jiazi Town. The head of the family had been exonerated and was famous. When he learned that the emperor had taken refuge here, he vacated his house for the emperor to use as his palace.

, and this outer residence became the residence of His Royal Highness King Wei.

The entire manor is built on the mountain, facing the sea, and is not square. It covers an area of ​​about 40 acres. Just as he originally guessed, it is a building with three roads and four entrances. There are more than 100 large and small houses, stables, barns, etc.

Everything you need. Zhao Bing Kimono

There were more than fifty chamberlains serving him, and the palace maids occupied the inner house of the main courtyard. A group of forbidden soldiers were stationed in the outer house as guards. However, Zheng's family did not live here at this time, and it seemed empty, and there was a drizzle.

There was a desolate smell.

After walking around for a while, there was a report from Xiaohuangmen. Five people claiming to be Zhao Da and others asked for an audience. Zhao Bing immediately summoned him. When he entered the side hall, he saw that not only Zhao Mengjin, Zheng Huchen and Zhuang Shilin were here, but also Zhou Xiang and others.

Hao Yuntong is also here! Naturally, it is indispensable for everyone to meet each other.

They were polite, but Zhao Bing was eager to know the situation outside. After giving him tea, he kicked out Xiao Huangmen, who was accompanying him, and Wang De, who was aggrieved. No one was allowed to come near him. He still couldn't trust these people now.?

Interesting writing? ?

After listening to everyone's statements, Zhao Bing couldn't help but sigh. The situation was worse than he expected. Jiazi Town was just a town with a population of 20,000 to 30,000 people. Nearly 400,000 people came in at once, not to mention housing and food.

All became problems. Xingchao had been drifting on the sea for more than a month. Under the pursuit of the enemy, he had not been fully supplied. The provisions he carried were basically exhausted. At this time, everything needed to be solved locally.

You can think about it, if one person eats two steamed buns for one meal, one meal would require 600,000 steamed buns, which is nearly 2 million buns a day, and they would pile up like a hill. But there are only so many things.

, the distribution is naturally divided into three, five, and nine grades.

.As the topmost princes and ministers, they occupied the priority of distribution. They not only had enough food, but also had good food. Next came the most combat-effective Forbidden Army and Huai Army. Finally, the remaining ones took their turn to get the local army.

Xiang army and newly recruited militiamen and their families.

As the last one to return to the team, Zhao Bing's group did not even have an allocation quota. They ate all the leftover supplies on the ship, but they could not last a few days. As for the place to live, the good places were all taken by others, and the ones allocated to them were all occupied.

It is just a wasteland, with only a few straw huts that I have built to provide temporary shelter from the wind and rain. Although the people who lacked food and clothing once worked together to help each other, they now also have disputes over food. If Zhao Mengjin and a few people hadn't struggled to maintain it, they would have dispersed.

"Your Highness, to be honest, if we don't hear anything from you, we won't be able to hold on any longer. We can't stop them even if they make noises!" Zhao Mengjin looked at His Highness, who was sitting on a high chair with his calves dangling and his fingers tapping the armrests.

He smiled bitterly.

"Well, it's just that I can't go out at will, and the Queen Mother and the officials can't see her. There's no news from the outside, but it's a pain for you." Zhao Bing nodded and said, expressing his understanding.

"Your Highness, since we have been through difficulties together, I would like to ask Your Highness to say a few kind words to the Queen Mother and the officials, and allocate some food to help us tide over the difficulties temporarily." Zhou Xiang also said, he had hoped that he could climb up to His Highness's high branches.

The situation changed, but I didn't expect that when I came back, my grandma would no longer be close to me and my uncle would no longer love them. The headquarters would no longer accept them, and they couldn't even eat or drink here.

"Well, I understand." Zhao Bing nodded again, "We may not be able to leave here for the time being, and we need to consider the long term."

"Oh, Your Highness, the enemy is approaching step by step. A few days ago, I heard that the Jiazi tycoon Zheng Fuweng led the people's army to raid and pursue the enemy, seize several ships, kill thousands of enemies, and ease the situation. But the enemy is ready at any time.

will come back, and I heard that all the imperial troops are ready to go to sea to wait for the ferry. Shouldn't we also be ready as the top priority?" After hearing this, Zheng Huchen felt that what His Highness said was inappropriate and hurriedly reminded him.

"The situation is not urgent yet. If my prediction is correct, the imperial court will stay here for a while." Zhao Bing said that in his memory, there was a rebellion within the Yuan Dynasty during this period, and Kublai Khan had to mobilize troops from the south of the Yangtze River to pacify the situation.

The rebellion allowed the Song Dynasty to survive.

"Well, what will we do next, Your Highness?" Zhao Mengjin looked at each other with a few people, and their doubts were slightly reduced. After all, in their hearts, the prince was aloof, and they might be able to get some inside information, so they believed him a little.

"The housing problem can be solved for the time being. There are many houses in this manor, and housing thousands of people will not be a problem. We just need to find a way to eat." Zhao Bing just made a circle and made up his mind to place his confidants around him.

He had already made up his mind, "I'm afraid relying on the court now can only solve temporary needs. We mainly have to rely on ourselves." He looked at Zhuang Shilin and said.

"Your Highness, my subordinates have inquired about it. The imperial court asked Fan Liangchen, a native of Jiazi Jinshi, to feed the army and work for the army. However, now a document has been issued to all states and counties to collect grain and grass. I think it will not take long for the food shortage to be alleviated." Zhuang Shilin said.

road.

"Be prepared, and the current difficulties must be overcome first. You should buy some first, so you can't let everyone go hungry!" Zhao Bing understood Zhuang Shilin's thoughts. As a businessman, he naturally wants to spend every penny. Since the imperial court provides

Why pay for it yourself?

What he didn't know was that the Mongols were advancing from land to sea, and the territory of the Song Dynasty had become smaller and smaller, and it was more difficult to raise food and grass. And Zhao Bing thought more, no one else would be as good as himself, who knows what the hell he is.

How much you can get depends on yourself at the critical moment.

"There is so much nonsense, just do whatever His Highness wants you to do!" Seeing Zhuang Shilin moaning, Zheng Huchen glared at him and said.

"Your Highness, how much do you need to buy?" Zhuang Shilin shrank his neck and stopped talking, and asked carefully.

"Have you ever used the money stored with you?" Zhao Bing thought for a while and asked. He didn't know what the situation was before he got off the ship. In order to show their trust in everyone, the two still handed over their filial gold and silver.

Keep it and do not carry it with you.

"Without the lord's decree, how could I dare to do anything? Now I have a lot of money." Zhuang Shilin replied with a smile.

"Well, you are too rigid, guarding a lot of property but going hungry." Zhao Bing also laughed, but he was very satisfied with it, "I give you the right to buy as much as you can, the more the better!"

He thought for a while and said with determination, the small treasury he had just established suddenly lost a lot, but he also understood that in these chaotic years, whoever has nothing to eat will follow you. If you want people to work hard, you must at least give them enough food!

"Your Highness, this heavy sum of money can purchase at least 100,000 shi of food. How many years will it be enough for us people?" Zhuang Shilin said in surprise. He made a rough calculation and even if the food soared, the money allocated by His Highness could buy a huge amount of food.

The food, even for five hundred of them, was so moldy that he wondered if His Highness had no idea about money.

"Not much. In addition, I remember that there are a lot of cloths, silks and satins on the ship. I have also calculated the money to make clothes and hats for everyone. I also need to buy some commonly used medicinal materials. Hao Hanlin is more worried.

." Zhao Bing shook his head and said, instead of reducing it, he added some needed daily necessities.

"Your Highness, please let your subordinates go with you, lest he get jealous after seeing the money and run away!" Zheng Huchen said, glaring at Zhuang Shilin.
