Chapter 941: Transformation
At the Quanzhou Inn, it was the most lively moment. Princess Zhaohua held a banquet to raise funds. Regardless of whether the people present were willing or not, they still had to take out the money. Especially after Hu Yi, the governor of a county, took out 10,000 taels of silver, and Ning Zhiwen, the chief minister of Quanzhou, took out 500,000 taels of silver and 100,000 s of military rations, the others had no choice.
Before the banquet, Princess Zhaohua had already raised more than two million taels of silver and 500,000 stones of grain, which surprised Princess Zhaohua. It turned out that Da Chu was really so rich!
Unfortunately, such a wealthy country, the second brother was out of line and was now in danger. When he thought of the inner treasury and the treasury that the Ming Dynasty was so clean that even rats were too lazy to go to, Min Ruoxi couldn't help but feel a little angry. If the Ming Dynasty was so rich, what could it not be done? What could it not be done?
Although he felt hatred in his heart, he still smiled. As long as Cheng Wuben retreated smoothly to Jinghu County, the silver and food should help him with one arm, so that he could stabilize the Jinghu defense line and defend most of the country. Only in this way, Chu State still had a fight to hold the Qi people for the Ming Dynasty.
I believe that after this battle, the people of Chu will regard the people of Qi as enemies, and the people of Qi will also want to destroy the people of Chu and then hurry up. When the two sides fight, the Ming Dynasty will naturally stand on the side and smile and watch the show.
Of course, you can also make a fortune.
As Chu looks like this, besides the Ming Dynasty, who can you ask for help? Qin State? They were already breathless under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, Min Ruoxi also knew more or less about the arrangements of her husband in Qin State. The wine music had been buried and was waiting for him to ferment, and then she could make a delicious wine with a savory flavor.
In the future, the State of Chu had to rely on the State of Ming to fight against Qi, so would Qi not need the State of Ming? Of course, the answer was necessary. If the State of Chu dragged the main force, Qi could only use a gentle approach to the State of Ming and win over it, and then the State of Ming would naturally be able to wait for the price.
It seemed that the whole situation was back to that time. Whether it was Chu or Qi, they had to make great efforts to win over Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty takes time, and Min Ruoxi is very clear about this. With the current thriving and changing scene of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there is enough time, it can beat anyone who dares to blow up the thorns with the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Now, I can't catch it.
Holding the wine glass and looking at the soft figure of the dancing girls in the hall, Min Ruoxi curled her lips, which was much worse than those dancers trained by Zirou in the sky and earth. You must know that the dancers under Zirou wanted them to be feminine and would be flirtatious and would be like soldiers who had just walked down from the battlefield. When the army returned from Hengdian, the dancers and singers danced with songs, but the soldiers watching were filled with tears and could not help themselves.
His eyes turned and slipped to Ning Zhiwen. He saw that he was also lowering his head to ponder, as if he had noticed something. Ning Zhiwen looked up and saw Min Ruoxi looking at him, with a slight panic on his face. Min Ruoxi smiled and raised his glass to signal that this was the big financial support today. Moreover, it won't take long, Min Ruoxi believed that he would knock a big pen on him, and of course he would give him some good colors to see.
Looking at Min Ruoxi's smiling face, Ning Zhiwen felt panicked for no reason. It seemed that something big was about to happen.
It seemed to confirm his conjecture. Amid the lively singing and dancing, the manager bowed and quietly walked around the people who were having a banquet, and walked behind Ning Zhiwen.
Seeing the appearance of the great manager, Ning Zhiwen immediately felt a little shocked. He knew clearly who the great manager was. Not only was he a good martial arts master, but he also experienced many major events with him. But at this time, he obviously saw a panic look on the face of the great manager.
"What happened?" Ning Zhiwen asked in a low voice.
"Master." The chief manager looked up and glanced at Min Ruoxi on the main seat. His princess did not seem to notice his arrival, and seemed to be really appreciating the singing and dancing. "The eldest prince came out, and together with the people of Qi, they were all taken away."
With a jam, the wine glass held in his hand immediately broke violently. The wine flowed down Ning Zhiwen's palm, and the pieces of porcelain were embedded in his palm, and blood splashed out, but Ning Zhiwen was unaware of anything.
"Who is it?"
"It is the personal companion of Princess Zhaohua, and the eunuch Le." The chief manager whispered. "Except for the eldest son and the ghost leader Xiang Lian, the others were killed, and Zhuangzi was also burned to pieces."
"Do you confirm?" Ning Zhiwen asked.
The chief manager nodded: "At that time, the young master fired a distress signal and I rushed over, but when I saw that Yinggu took action, I knew that things were not good. With my cultivation, let alone rescue the young master, I was afraid that I would trap myself in. At that time, I ordered the Ning tribe who went to rescue to retreat immediately."
Ning Zhiwen took a deep breath: "You did the right thing. Go back and take care of the aftermath first, and see if there are those who know that the eldest son has contact with Qi people, so let them shut up."
"I understand!" As if I were when I came before, the chief manager bent again, and disappeared into the hall like an ordinary old servant.
Ning Zhiwen looked up and looked at the charming Princess Zhaohua, who was as charming as a flower, and just sighed in his heart. Princess Zhaohua was indeed very harsh. Even Li Zhi couldn't escape her plot, let alone herself?
Thinking of this, my heart calmed down. Losing to such a powerful woman doesn't seem to be an ugly thing. Li Zhi lost his life at Princess Zhaohua's hands, but he still has the chance to save his life. Even taking this opportunity to climb up to this thick thigh.
Slowly tear off a piece of cloth strip from his body and wrap the wound on his hand.
He even raised his glass and respected Princess Zhaohua without hiding the wound on his hand.
Princess Zhaohua smiled and responded.
They are all smart people, everything is indifferent.
As the night grew late, the banquet was over. Everyone said goodbye and left. Today, they came to have a drink from the princess and offered a lot of silver. Although they were heartbroken, they were also good friends. Those who could accumulate their family wealth to the point of being able to sit in front of Princess Zhaohua were naturally knowledgeable. It was worth spending some silver to buy an opportunity for the future.
As for money, you can always make money back.
Ning Zhiwen sat without moving, and Hu Yicai didn't move either. Hu Yicai didn't move, so naturally his officials wouldn't move either.
"Mr. Hu, you have important matters to discuss when you stay. Your subordinates, let them go for the time being!" Princess Zhaohua waved her hand with a smile, but her eyes were on Ning Zhiwen. She wanted to see what Ning Zhiwen would do next.
In the hall, only four people were left instantly, except for Princess Zhaohua's guards.
Ning Zhiwen raised his head and looked at Princess Zhaohua: "Your Highness, I wonder how many ships Jinghu needs and how many sailors?"
As soon as this statement was made, Hu Yicai was shocked. You know, after he met Princess Zhaohua yesterday, he became ecstatic with Ning Zhiwen when he came back. At that time, Ning Zhiwen said that money and food were not a problem, but the ships would not be given. At this banquet today, Ning Zhiwen's heavy bleeding was also practicing what he said to him yesterday. How long has it been, how could the tone be changed?
He looked at Ning Zhiwen's injured right palm thoughtfully. When the two came together, Ning Zhiwen was still fine, and the blood was fresh.
"Great kindness!" Princess Zhaohua smiled: "Class Ning is indeed very wise. According to our speculation, Jinghu now needs at least 100 warships and 2,000 sailors. Of course, the Quanzhou Navy will select some elite troops, and the rest will be filled by Ning Gong. I wonder if Ning Gong has any objections?"
"Ning Mou Fengzhao." Ning Zhiwen bowed and said, "How much is the difference, how much is Ning Mou."
"It's so good, but as far as our palace knows, the Quanzhou naval generals are unbearable to fight, so Ning Gong still needs to send people to lead the army with deep knowledge of the water war."
"My son Ning Zefeng is a maple, that's right!" Ning Zhiwen said loudly.
Princess Zhaohua smiled sweetly, "Young Master Ning? You are indeed heroic, but you are too young after all. I have another candidate in my heart. I wonder if Mr. Ning is willing to give up?"
Ning Zhiwen suddenly realized in his heart, looked at Zhou Li standing beside Princess Zhaohua, and just cursed in his heart that the Erwuzi really sold the Ning family cleanly.
However, at this point, he did wrongly accuse Zhou Li. This information was not provided by Zhou Li, but his second son Ning Zhiyuan.
"I wonder who the princess wants?" he said bitterly.
"It's the great manager of Gong Ning, Huang Hai! This person was famous on the sea in the past, and he was the name of a cunning fox. Even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty knew about it. With him leading the army, I would be relieved."
Ning Zhiwen took a deep breath: "As the princess wished."
Princess Zhaohua smiled and looked at Hu Yicai, "Do you understand the matter, County Magistrate Hu?"
"I understand." Although I don't know how Princess Zhaohua dealt with Ning Zhiwen, Hu Yicai was still quite happy. After all, he is a minister of the Great Chu. If the Great Chu is really finished, how good will his fate be?
"I hope that when I arrive in Shangjing, I will hear the news that Quanzhou naval army has arrived in Jinghu." Princess Zhaohua said lightly. "Mr. Hu, this matter has been settled. I think you have a lot of things to do, so I won't leave you."
Looking at Ning Zhiwen sitting there, Hu Yi immediately realized that these two people must have something to say, but it was not convenient for him to know. Although he felt a little delicious, he stood up immediately and said, "Goodbye."
"Zhou Li, I'll send the county magistrate Hu to this palace." Princess Zhaohua waved.
When the two disappeared into the hall, the smile on Min Ruoxi's face had disappeared. She stood up and said coldly: "Mr. Ning, please come with me!"
