Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. The prefect of Qiongzhou wants to use a mere loan of more than 30 rotten boats to get help from Chengzuo, which is obviously too whimsical.

Moreover, as long as these ships are needed by Chengzuo, the prefect of Qiongzhou must be handed over unconditionally. Whoever called Qiongzhou Mansion was originally the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qiongzhou Governor was also an official of the Ming Dynasty. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's land, the world is the emperor's, but a small prefect still dares to talk about any conditions.

"Take all the boats, and ask him for more ships by the way, and all the ships in Qiongzhou Mansion must come over, and not a single piece of wood will be left. As for the prefect, whoever has time to grind his teeth with him will just send him away. Cheng Zuo directly instructed Xiao Hai.

"General, it's not too late for you to see him and decide. The prefect of Qiongzhou said that there is a place you don't know, if you go, you can put as many rare treasures as you want. Xiaohai's eyes lit up and he spoke to Chengzuo.

Cheng Zuo pondered for a moment, paused for a moment before speaking: "This Qiongzhou Mansion is located at the end of the world, except for Leizhou Mansion nearby. Only the south and the north are left, and there are some barren lands, all of which are native. Where are there endless treasures! ”

Rolling his eyes, Cheng Zuo seriously suspected that this Qiongzhou prefect must have a grudge against Vietnam. Seeing such a strong strength of the Dongjiang Army this time, he must have wanted to fool himself into fighting. In this way, the prefect of Qiongzhou can achieve his ulterior purpose.

Such a low-level calculation, under Cheng Zuo's conjecture, was untenable at all, and immediately showed its original form.

After Xiao Hai listened to Cheng Zuo's analysis, he didn't dare to say more. Indeed, with his knowledge of the local area, there is indeed no place near the Qiongzhou Mansion that is as rich as the prefect said.

Xiaohai was angry that he was fooled by the prefect, and he slaughtered the prefect with resentment. In strict accordance with Chengzuo's orders, almost the entire Qiongzhou Mansion was looted.

In the face of the bandit-like Dongjiang army, Chen Ding dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, but fortunately, the Dongjiang army came this time just for food. Although there were some more ships lost in the end, those were not enough to worry about.

After sending off the Dongjiang army that had returned with a full load, Chen Ding and the Qiongzhou Mansion soon returned to their usual tranquility. The wealth is not exposed, Chen Ding does not know at this moment that what awaits their Chen family in the future will be a devastating blow.

When you come, it's empty, and when you go back, you're full of it. Together with the civilian and official ships that came to requisition, they were all loaded with grain. Even so, they were not able to bring all of them back, and some of them were still temporarily stored in the granaries of the docks.

Chengzuo warned Chen Ding to keep the grain well, and the Dongjiang army would come back again in the future to take it away. Chen Ding naturally didn't dare to say much, and after waiting for the Dongjiang army to leave, he ordered the granary at the wharf to be sealed. Since then, he has not paid attention to it, the most important thing in Qiongzhou Mansion is food, rather than sending people to guard, it is better to wait for the next season's grain harvest to leave some back.

It took more than half a month to save money and frugality, and the Dongjiang army on the way back could finally eat and drink with their bellies open. Steamed white rice, a big bowl in everyone's hands, and some ready-made seafood to eat, is simply more enjoyable than the gods.

The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army come from all over the world, and there are all kinds of ways to eat, only what you can't think of and nothing you can't eat.

Chengzuo is not exempt from vulgarity, sumptuous meals, and then use a large bowl full of white rice, shake off the cheeks and start drying. Amid laughter and laughter, the Dongjiang Army finished dinner time and returned at full speed. They were all full, but they were still thinking about the far sea, and most of the brothers were shrinking their clothes and dieting.

Only when food is delivered as soon as possible can other people be fed and not starve. Without any accidents, Cheng Zuo quickly delivered the grain, and after leaving enough grain for the army, he ordered people to send the rest of the grain to Nanjing by grain ship.

By the way, he sent Xiaohai as the chief soldier to protect the grain, and gave him a chance to go to Nanjing to face the saint. In the final analysis, this is Chengzuo giving Xiaohai a chance to get promoted and make a fortune. After all, it was all the credit of Xiao Hai to be able to accidentally discover such a place this time, and it was normal to give him such an opportunity.

Nearly a hundred ships of grain, which is definitely not a small amount in the eyes of today's imperial court. Even Hong Chengchou, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time after learning about the food sent.

With full suspicion, Hong Chengchou also went to the dock to count the grain in person. As a result, he found that not only was the quantity of grain not small, but also the quality was still excellent. It is no exaggeration to say that this grain is much better than the grain stored in the national treasury today.

Like a treasure, Hong Chengchou immediately transferred 30,000 Imperial Forest troops to deliver food. Then he took Xiao Hai, the hero of this time, to face the saint, without any accidents, Xiao Hai got a better reward than he imagined.

sent away Xiaohai, who was full of joy, but Hong Chengchou began to think about the Qiongzhou Mansion. I didn't know such a place before, but now I know and find out, and of course there is no reason to let it go.

After thinking for a while, Hong Chengchou immediately bowed his hand to Mao Jingwen and said, "Your Majesty, we must take control of Qiongzhou Mansion as soon as possible. As long as we take down the Qiongzhou Mansion, the food shortage in the south will naturally be solved in the future, and there may be a surplus. ”

Mao Jingwen nodded and shook his head again: "It is necessary to take it down, but Mr. must know that the Qiongzhou Mansion is on the sea." Although it is not far from Leizhou Mansion, if there is no navy to go, it will definitely not be able to take it. ”

Hong Chengchou waved his hand and said with a smile: "This sea is not easy, as long as the emperor gives Chengzuo and them a holy decree, it is not easy to capture Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

Mao Jingwen smiled bitterly: "Sir, have you forgotten that the current General Chengzuo is still confronting the Dongying army at sea." At this time, I am afraid that it is not good to distract them to do things? ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "It seems that this matter has to be done temporarily." It's a pity, if the general soldier can wake up as soon as possible, I believe he will have a way to solve it. ”

mentioned that Mao Wenlong was in a coma, and the little emperor and Hong Chengchou both had sad faces. Adou went to Yunnan to find a famous doctor, and more than half a month has passed, but there has been no news yet. This made Hong Chengchou and the little emperor worried, for fear that Adou would have any accidents with them.

Fortunately, the worries of the two were obviously unnecessary, and the next morning, a long-lost hot air balloon appeared in the sky over Nanjing City. It was Adou, who had been missing for more than half a month, that came back.

Adou did not disappoint everyone, not only found the famous doctor named by Hong Chengchou, but also invited him over. This means that Mao Wenlong, who has been in a coma for more than a month, has been saved.
