Zhao Xi didn't think about rushing directly to the front.
After confirming the instructions of the escort camp and sending out the letter, Zhao Xi wandered to the Guizhou government office.
Old boy Yu Jing can't care about His Highness the Prince's nonsense these days. The entire logistical support for the crusade against the Nong bandits is his business, and he also has to worry about recruiting troops.
He was very impatient with Zhao Xi coming over to talk nonsense at this time, but etiquette forced him to accompany him.
"Bachelor from Shaozhou?"
"Your Highness, Jing is indeed from Shaozhou."
"Can you recognize this thing?"
Zhao Xi handed over some loose moth balls.
I really don't have time to amuse you. There are so many things at hand... Yu Jing really wants to drive people away.
This is...for the sake of face, Yu Jing still took it and put it to his nostrils to smell...it smelled very strong, there was no need to do that, he just wanted to make sure.
"Camphor tree……?"
"My dearest scholar! This product is indeed extracted from the camphor tree. Xi intends to set up a workshop in Shaozhou to specialize in this camphor tree pill."
"This thing can keep away dirt, repel mosquitoes, prevent rot, etc. I wonder if there is anyone who can use it, bachelor?"
Old man Yu, don't be impatient, I have sent you money...
Uh...why? Why is this, Your Highness? Yu Jing can think of it. Even though this thing is small, as long as the secret recipe is not leaked, it can definitely make generations of people worry about food and clothing.
How should I put it? Mosquito bites and things rot are natural. Just such a small bead can prevent them. It doesn’t matter whether you are rich or poor, as long as you are a human being, you have needs.
As long as it is recognized by people.
"Why?"
"Bachelor, Xi is not lying. The chaos in Guangnan will eventually be cured. Especially the army in Guangnan will most likely be replaced by the Western Army. If the bachelor does not want the soldiers to eventually have to recruit and make a living in order to survive, then we need to
There is a way for them to have enough food and clothing. This is one."
"Secondly, camphor trees grow in the south, especially in Lingnan and Shaozhou. If you are a native of Shaozhou, you can naturally sort out all the difficulties in the local area by recommending suitable people."
"Instructor Su is very thoughtful and knowledgeable. His cousin works in Guangnan and uses secret recipes to prepare the equipment of Instructor Su, and uses the connections of people recommended by the bachelor. This can be done."
The truth seems to be this. For the long-term stability of Guangnan, it is true that we should not make the same mistakes again. Those who have permanent property must have perseverance. Recruiting soldiers and their families to work can indeed make them feel at ease.
Seeing that Yu Jing was speechless, Zhao Xi called Su Song over... The scholar-bureaucrats did not talk about wealth, they just contacted each other personally and let the specific contractor handle it.
Well, that's it! It's not a waste of time to waste this long time. It's rare to find such a pleasant thing in such a bad state of mind.
Su Song left, and Yu Jing was prepared to tell his servant a few more words, so that he could tell the whole story by sending a letter, so as not to offend the Su family and His Highness the Crown Prince, and throw away this ancestral business. But His Highness did not leave...
…
"Your Highness..."
Is it time for you to go? The more you expose yourself, the longer you stay it will be night.
"Bachelor, those who abandon the city and flee need to have a result after all. I want to seek help from the bachelor."
After coming, Yu Jing has been wondering why His Highness the Crown Prince would win over him. After all, it is possible that His Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne, and it will be time for him to become an official. No, before he turned around, something happened.
The other thing is easy to talk about, that is, this person who abandoned the city and fled, let Yu Jing report to the court and reduce the punishment. He can't do such a thing...
"Your Highness, Jing once wanted to advise Your Highness not to use such people who have made great achievements. Abandoning the city and escaping cannot be judged simply by merit. It is a matter of character. Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, even if you are afraid of shame.
The flowers written in the letter of regret still cannot change its true nature."
"I hope His Highness will forgive me, and Jing cannot plead for him in the court."
He still had the same temperament in Qingli years. After traveling to Guangnan for many years, Yu Jing still had the heart to serve the country.
For a moment, Zhao Xi was determined not to cheat this old boy.
"Bachelor, please take a look..."
Yu Jing was a little embarrassed to be so turned away, so he calmly looked at what His Highness the Prince handed over.
This... Yu Jing thought about what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did after arriving in Guangnan... He had never thought about using any merit or demerit, it had always been for this purpose.
Yu Jing was a little surprised by the memorial in front of him... This was purely to seek death.
Once it succeeds, it will even be more ruthless and vicious than killing these people who abandoned the city. Yes, it is vicious.
Your Highness the Crown Prince can do this...
"Your Highness, a scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
"Bachelor, Xi has no intention of discussing with you what a scholar is. The concept of a scholar is noble and sacred to Xi, to Shilin, and to the world. But the behavior of these people has brought shame to Shilin."
"Is it possible for the bachelor to recognize him as a similar person? Or can the bachelor forgive his behavior? If it were not under the bachelor's rule, Xi could have acted on his own..."
"The letter of regret was not forced by others, but was written by himself. It can be seen that in his heart he also knew that he had unshirkable responsibility for the chaos in Guangnan. I did this just to fulfill their regret."
You're not forcing them, you're tempting them! Give them a future, guide them to exchange temporary setbacks for a great future, and in the end put them in a situation where they have nothing to live for.
In the end...it seems like this matter has nothing to do with you in the end.
God, what kind of emperor has been sent to the country! Yu Jing can imagine how the future court... His Highness will play tricks on his ministers.
As evil as ever! It was just his wisdom in trivial matters when he was young that turned into a strategy and a trick to deceive people.
There is no reason to refuse. If you rule by yourself and ask the court not to deal with those who abandon the city, let alone where you are on duty, even your own temperament cannot do it.
Yu Jing was helpless and reluctantly signed and put the seal of the Guangnan East-West Road Strategy on it.
"Lü Gongbi, Han Jiang and others will come to the court to second the proposal!"
Yu Jing was stunned by Zhao Xi's last words. This was not just to make this happen...
In the court hall, the whole process went smoothly, and it was indeed that simple. But for Yu Jing, who experienced the whole process, it was not that simple.
Even if these people who abandoned the city died without a burial place, they would not resent His Highness the Crown Prince. They would only think that it was a fight between the subordinate officials of the East Palace and their favored ministers in the future...
What Yu Jing didn't expect was that Zhao Xi said that they would have no love in their lives, so they must create a situation in which they would have no love in their lives.
Scholar-officials should cherish their reputation. Since you don't care, I will help you again.
Cuju games are now spread all over Guochaojunzhou, and Cuju Express is also spread all over Guochaojunzhou.
While Zhao Xi was petitioning the court, he wrote directly to his wife, instructing all Cuju newspapers in the country to publish the regrets of this group of bastards, and wrote an editor's note, with only one purpose, which was to make these people who abandoned the city truly
If you become a street rat, you really have nowhere to hide.
People always slapped him in the face before giving him sweet dates, but Zhao Xi went against the grain and gave Yu Jing sweet dates first, and then... didn't slap him in the face, just pulled him on the boat.
Mainly because of my childhood memories, I think this old boy is still a very good person.
