The bear child of the Red Chamber, Jia Cong

The two Masters Zhen sat opposite each other and began to negotiate terms.Zhen Hui said: "Fujian can send troops to help King Taisun of Wu take back Jinling."

Zhen Zangzhu said: "My lord may not last until April. Therefore, we have to dispatch troops before the end of March."

Zhen Hui and Zheng Chao'er, the commander-in-chief, looked at each other and said, "During the dry season of the Yangtze River, it may be inconvenient for seagoing ships to enter the river."

"No problem." Zhen Zangzhu said with a slight smile, "I'm here just to take advantage of Fujian's reputation and strength."

Zhen Hui was shocked: "Do you have soldiers?"

Zhen Zangzhu nodded: "Soldiers."

Zhen Hui squinted her eyes: "Master Wu is not a master who has the ability to hide soldiers under his nose."

Zhen Zangzhu said: "Shanghai Port was originally built not only by the Wu Kingdom, but Zhou Ji, the Malay lord of Nanyang, is the major shareholder. The soldiers belong to him. But as the lord of foreign countries, it is inconvenient for him to directly send troops to intervene in our country."

Zheng Chao'er couldn't help but said: "Then why does Lord Zhen come to us? Just say that he is the private soldier hidden by Mr. Wu?" Zhen Zangzhu looked at Zhen Hui with a smile.

Zhen Hui thought for a moment and said: "Hiding soldiers behind one's father's back is a serious crime. This title is too easy to be caught, and it will make Wu Xianshi lose his orthodox brand. Soldiers can only be borrowed, and they must be returned after the battle. As the saying goes, it is not difficult to borrow and borrow again. Those who want to take advantage of the internal turmoil in Wu to attack Wu must weigh this army."

Zhen Zangzhu said: "The troops sent by the Malay Kingdom are elite soldiers, not many in number. Although it is enough to take Jinling quietly, it is necessary to make some big battles to support the facade. Only a large number of people can scare people." He looked at Zhen Zangzhu. Hui said, "Malay King Zhou has retained the right to speak in Shanghai Port. The soldiers and horses in Fujian only need to work hard and earn a reputation as an elite soldier. Our grandson can win half of the country of Wu..."

Before he finished speaking, the three people in Fujian shouted in unison: "What? Half the country?"

Zhen Zangzhu nodded: "Half the country is enough."

Zhen Hui said, "Since we can take Jinling, why only half of it?"

Zhen Zangzhu said: "They have hostages in their hands, and I don't know where the prince is being held."

Zheng Chao'er said loudly: "Since the soldiers are besieging Jinling, we can naturally rescue him!"

"Cough cough cough..." Mr. Zhang coughed several times, winking at Zhen Hui and Zheng Chao'er.Zhen Hui immediately said: "Forget it. This is a matter of your Wu country, and we in Fujian don't care." Zhen Zangzhu nodded with a smile.Zhen Hui took two sips of the tea ceremony, "Master Zhen is thinking that Fujian will send troops in horse-drawn formations to show off, and the Malays will fight with elite soldiers."

"That's right. It's very good to follow the line Mr. Zhen drew just now."

"It's quite a hard trip. I have to bear the crime of interfering in other countries' internal affairs."

"Master Zhen, please make an offer."

Zhen Hui thought for a while: "We in Fujian are not that short of money."

Zhen Zangzhu said: "The rent of Fujian merchant ships calling at Shanghai Port will be halved for three years."

Zhen Hui shook her head: "How is that different from collecting money?"

"What does Governor Zhen mean?"

"I know that Shanghai Port is a big port. After four or five years of construction, only a prototype has been built. There are all kinds of berths." Zhen Hui looked at him firmly and said, "I want Fujian ships to have the priority to berth, load and unload at the port."

Zhen Zangzhu blurted out: "Lord Zhen has a big appetite. I'm afraid this won't work."

Zhen Hui said indifferently: "My lord Zhen hasn't found someone who is willing to cover you up to now." There was a very shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, "Everyone with the word 'country' is a prince, your grandson I don't want to let the Tongzong hold my own. The rest of Ping'an Prefecture is only obsessed with business, and I don't have the time to meddle in such nosy affairs. Jiangxi Su Tao is a Confucian student, and he will not agree. Yunnan and Guizhou are too far away. Guangdong, Guangzi, and Taiwan Jia Lian, you are afraid that it is easy to invite God and it is difficult to send God away. Besides Fujian, who else can we turn to?"

Zhen Zangzhu was stunned for a moment, and praised: "No wonder Master Zhen can control such a huge province, which is comparable to ordinary people."

Zhen Hui smiled lightly: "Master Zhen only said yes or no."

Zhen Zangzhu said with a wry smile: "This request is too much. Malay ships have this privilege."

"Their lord paid the money, right?"

"Yes, they took the shares."

"Fujian is also here." Zhen Hui said with a smile, "We are also a place of prosperity."

Zhen Zangzhu was surprised.After a while, he clapped his hands and said, "Master Zhen wants to compete with Prince Teng."

Zhen Hui did not deny it: "He has already taken the lead in the land route."

Zhen Zangzhu thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay. I agree."

Zhen Hui raised her brows and wondered, "You agreed so soon?"

Zhen Zangzhu said sternly: "Malay Zhou Guozhu once said that to see whether a thing can be done, you only need to look at its leader. If it is the two governors who are the first in Fujian, the lower officials will not agree - both of them have old ideas I don't know how to change things, and the other only cares about the one-third of an acre of land in my family. Lord Zhen is different from the two of them, but he really wants to do things for Fujian." He stood up and said, "The next official is optimistic about Lord Zhen, and is willing to cooperate with Fujian."

Zhen Hui also stood up and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhen, for looking up to me. I will not let Mr. Zhen look at you." The two bowed to each other.

Master Zhang clapped his hands beside him: "It's really a win-win. The two Master Zhen are both refreshing people."

Zheng Chao'er didn't understand these advantages and disadvantages yet, so he was in a fog.Seeing that everyone else understood, he didn't dare to show his comfort, so he just laughed a few times and didn't make a sound.Er Zhen and Master Zhang discussed the detailed rules together.

At noon, Zhen Hui held a banquet in honor of Zhen Cangzhu in the yamen, accompanied by Zhang Zheng.After the banquet was over, Zhen Zangzhu was invited to take a nap in a guest room of the governor's yamen, and then discuss later.Three Fujian officials gathered in Zhen Hui's study.

Master Zhang was the first to smile and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, my lord!"

Zhen Hui also laughed, high-spirited: "Congratulations."

Zheng Chao'er has been holding back for a long time, and he can finally ask: "My lord, you want to help them build Shanghai Port? Why don't you rebuild Fuzhou Port with that spare money?"

Mr. Zhang clapped his hands first and said, "That's the mouth of the Yangtze River! We'll put some money into it now, and we don't know how much money we'll get out in the future. Mr. Zheng, you can buy the best and most expensive firearm!"

Zheng Chao'er first heard that in order to send troops to help Wu, Governor Zhen bought new firearms in advance, and was very happy.Unexpectedly, Zhen Zangzhu said that they only need to put on a show and put on a name, and he was afraid that Zhen Hui would not want to buy it.At this moment, after hearing what Master Zhang said, a stone fell to the ground inside and said, "As long as there are my firearms, I don't care about the others!" Nai laughed.

Looking back on this matter, Master Zhang felt more and more that he had taken advantage of it, and said happily: "It's not just firearms, we should also build new roads."

Zhen Hui said: "Not only. I think there are many good things in Taiwan, we can all learn from them. Their schools are much better than ours."

Master Zhang shook his head and said, "Everything is easy to do when you have money." The two of them smiled at each other for a long time.

Only then did Zheng Chao'er remember to ask, "Why does this Zhen Zangzhu only have half of the country?"

Master Zhang asked back: "Why didn't Song Gaozong want Yue Fei to rescue the second sage and return to court?"

Zheng Chao'er was stunned.After a long while, he scolded: "What a ruthless mind! You son of a bitch!" He asked again, "My lord doesn't want money, but only the right to leave Hong Kong. Is that a great benefit?"

Mr. Zhang smiled and said: "Master Zheng is a general, so it is understandable that he doesn't understand this. The Shanghai Port is still under construction, and there are not many berths. Priority is given to the right to berth, load and unload the port, and merchants can seize great business opportunities." He stood up and said, " I just found out today that Lord Zhen is much better than Lord Dai as an official. Not to mention anything else, just in terms of vision. In a few years, Fujian will not be inferior to Guangdong and Guangxi." Nai bowed to the ground, " Willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for an adult."

Zheng Chao'er still didn't understand, but Zhen Zangzhu looked like a very capable person.Competent outsiders say that Zhen Hui is someone, and she must be someone.Then he also saluted and said: "Lord Zhen, the last general is also willing to do the work of dogs and horses."

Zhen Hui returned the salute with a smile, and said: "With the help of the two of you, I don't have to worry about failing in my career." The three clapped their hands together.Taking advantage of Zheng Chao'er's inattention, Master Zhang and Zhen Hui looked at each other quietly with a smile.

Hou Zhen Zangzhu took a nap, and the four of them discussed the details until dinner time.Zhen Zangzhu simply lived in the Governor's Yamen in Fujian.

Zhen Hui originally had a house, but since she became the governor, she has moved to the back office.These days are busy, she usually lives in the study.Naturally, I can't sleep early today.Zhen Hui was reviewing official documents under the lamp until the third watch, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.She didn't order the maidservant, nor did she need someone to watch the night, but she was slightly startled and asked, "Who?"

A man outside said: "I'm Xia Liu Falcon."

Zhen Hui's eyes moved.The voice belonged to Zhen Zangzhu.Zhen Hui knew that Wu Guozhen Zangzhu was not the real Zhen Zangzhu, but Liu Er who was next to Jia Xu, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., pretended to be it.Is his real name Liu Falcon? "Master Liu is visiting in the middle of the night, is there anything you can do?"

Liu Erdao: "Just now I was hungry, I found some fish balls in the kitchen of the expensive yamen and cooked them. I heard that Master Zhen is still tired, so I borrowed flowers and presented Buddha to bring you a bowl."

Zhen Hui smiled, got up and walked towards the door: "Take my things and give them to me, it's so cheap."

Liu Er said solemnly: "Although the fish balls are grown-ups', I cooked them with fire and water."

Zhen Hui opened the door with a "squeak".I saw Liu Er standing outside, holding a bowl in his hand, not even a food box.Nai withdrew and let him in, and said, "Isn't the firewood you burn and the water you draw mine?"

Liu Er strode closer to the room, put the fish balls on the desk and said, "Just assume that I borrowed it? You even borrowed the fish balls, so why bother asking for firewood and water?"

Zhen Hui shot him a sideways look, sat down and picked up a spoon, scooped up a fish ball and put it in his mouth to taste: the heat is quite good.Nai smiled and said, "That's good." Liu Er seemed to be relieved.But he was watching Zhen Hui eating, Zhen Hui was a little awkward, so he said casually, "Thank you Master Zhen for your help today, I have subdued Zheng Chao'er."

Liu Er said with a smile: "The foreign monks like to recite scriptures, Zheng Chao'er is a martial artist after all. Today's script is written by Sister Zeng."

Zhen Hui put down the spoon and said, "That Ms. Zeng is quite capable."

"Yeah." Liu Er nodded, "She presided over the construction of Shanghai Port. Although Da Jiala sent people to help, she still has to make decisions on many things. Bao Laosan has been helping her, and his execution is very good. Strong. It is mainly due to the two of them. I usually stay in Jinling, and I only go there occasionally."

Zhen Hui was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, and scooped up a fish ball.Because of the slow chewing, it took a long time to finish eating.Nai asked, "Why didn't you take down the whole state of Wu?"

"It's Grand Master Zhan Kun's idea." Liu Erdao, "Let the world take a closer look."

It turned out that according to the intention of Lin Daiyu and Jia Cong, they simply took the whole country of Wu this time.But Zhan Kun said that it should be divided in half first.Wu Guo is big and rich, and the world is staring at him.In the eyes of the old masters, Chen Ruiwen was born in a wealthy family and could be regarded as a good minister.Zhen Zangzhu is a concubine, and her family background is much inferior to that of Chen Ruiwen.If the two of them were divided into the two masters of the Wu Kingdom, most of the others would be optimistic about Chen Ruiwen.Moreover, Chen Ruiwen assisted the young master with greater authority; the one assisted by Zhen Zangzhu was eighteen or nineteen years old.After three to five years, the gap in national strength between the two countries has become increasingly large. If other countries are still obsessed with obsession, Yan will not be polite.

After hearing this, Zhen Hui smiled and shook her head, "Why bother with those things."

Liu Erdao: "I always feel that Mr. Zhan has other intentions, but I can't figure it out."

Zhen Hui thought for a while and asked, "Did you come by land or water?"

"Overland."

"Have you seen Su Tao, the prefect of Jiangxi?"

"I have seen."

Zhen Hui's face was full of color: "Then I know what Lord Zhan's intention is."

Liu Er hurriedly cupped his hands: "I beg Master Zhen for advice."

The map I used during the day hadn't been put away yet, so Zhen Hui spread it out and circled it with her fingers: "You want this one, right? This is Jiangxi. This is Fujian. From now on, these three places will need to be in close contact with each other." .”

"I know this. That's what I said when I went to Jiangxi. Why can't you join Wu Guo?"

"It's too eye-catching." Zhen Hui said, "It's not that the Situ family is ignorant. I'm afraid someone will see through the regent's intentions and join forces to attack. Although we are not afraid of war, it will greatly damage industry and commerce. Especially the population. The regent is most reluctant. It is the population. If the country of Wu is divided into two parts, the greatest enemy of your prince and grandson will be the little uncle in Jinling City. In order not to lose to the uncle, it is normal for him to do anything to strengthen the country."

Liu Er still didn't understand: "He won the whole Wu country, why can't he strengthen the country?"

Zhen Hui glanced at him: "There is no one else snoring on the side of the couch, so it is necessary to relax. He is young, it is difficult to say that he has some beauties and builds a Wu Palace."

Liu Er thought for a long time and said, "It sounds reasonable."

Zhen Hui rolled his eyes at him and buried his head in eating the fish balls.Not long after, a bowl of fish balls was eaten, and he praised: "It's cooked well."

Liu Er said with a smile: "It's the fish ball itself that is made authentically."

"Yeah. It's cooked well." Zhen Hui said, "Thank you."

Liu Er looked at her and said, "Just a thank you?"

Zhen Hui sat upright and said, "What else do you want? I'm going to send troops to help you fight for territory, shouldn't you thank me?"

Liu Erdao: "I even let you invest in Shanghai Port. How much is that! Master Wang Ziteng will die of aggrieved if he finds out."

Zhen Hui hurriedly said: "What's the reason? It's not that I don't give money for nothing!" Nai said in a bad mood, "Thank you again, okay?"

Liu Er touched his neck, as if he wanted to say something.Zhen Hui glanced at him.Liu Er suddenly said: "Thank you alone is not enough." Zhen Hui felt weird and looked up at him.Liu Er hurriedly said, "I mean...uh..." He was secretly anxious: the words that Sister Zeng thought of for him were too far-fetched to say.

Zhen Hui frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Liu Eryi was in a hurry, and blurted out: "Master Zhen, you have done me such a great favor, I can't repay you, why don't you promise me with your body."
