"Of course I'm going to take the grain to measure the wasteland!"

As soon as Zhang Junlin said these words.

Jiang Zhu confirmed.

What I expected was good.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't take it into consideration or take it to heart that the dignitaries joined forces to show their power this time.

"Did His Highness only bring these more than a hundred people?"

Jiang Assistant glanced at the twenty or so horses behind him.

And the "cavalry" on foot.

It can barely be considered a cavalry.

Because they were only wearing coarse linen clothes, not military uniforms or official uniforms at all.

It means that they are not soldiers or officers.

Thinking of the past two days, news came from the direction of Jinling that Princess Junyuan was recruiting militiamen to practice martial arts.

Looking at the sallow-looking "militiamen" in front of them, who looked like they hadn't eaten for several days, they didn't know if they had the strength to escape if they took action.

Jiang Zhu couldn't help but feel worried.

"Your Highness, those workers and farmers are indeed not in the city, but there are nearly a thousand people walking around the government warehouse."

"The donated food cannot be returned to their belts just by walking a few steps."

Zhang Junlin raised his arm.

Immediately, a person trotted out from the team.

He held up a long scythe and handed it to Zhang Junlin.

Jiang Assistant glanced at the simple long scythe.

rumor.

His Royal Highness the Prince defeated Xiang Hong with a sickle.

"Don't look at it. The sickle that defeated Xiang Hong was smashed into pieces by his meteor hammer. This is a new sickle."

"By the way, Mr. Jiang, the batch of fine iron from the Northern Qi Dynasty was made into farm tools for you. How many sets did you make?"

Jiang Zhu didn't expect that he would be on a mission.

His Royal Highness was actually seen by everyone.

I couldn't help but have a new understanding of His Royal Highness, who everyone said was reckless.

"Back to Your Highness, a total of 800 sets have been built now, and production is being accelerated."

A set of agricultural tools is divided into sickles, shovels, hoes, forks and other items.

These objects may not look big, but they are also very time-consuming and laborious to build.

There are also a hundred sets of common utensils and a set of sledges.

Melting iron and casting iron is not a day's work.

"Whatever you have, take them with you along with the food."

"yes."

Don't wait for Zhang Junlin to ask.

Jiang Zhu immediately called the clerk in charge of the government's warehouse.

This petty official came from a local third-rate dignitary.

Zhang Junlin personally promoted him after reading the list compiled by Dong You.

Of course I can trust it.

"Master Jiang, don't worry. Just do the work according to my instructions. Those who cause trouble can go as they please."

Anyway.

He only wants land, and he doesn't need those powerful people who can't cultivate land.

There is no need for those powerful people who can't even take out the money and confiscate it.

He wanted to imitate Xi Chu's advantage of becoming bigger and stronger and having all the people as soldiers.

It did not say that we should imitate the Western Chu, where the powerful were in power and controlled the government, and the monarch was like a loach, wandering among the powerful.

he.

But I won't tolerate those useless powerful people.

"Let's go."

Zhang Junlin gave the order.

He led one hundred and eight people towards the Zhenzhou government office warehouse.

Jiang Zhu looked at the team walking away.

Look at the rising sun leaping out in the east.

Suddenly I felt energetic all over my body.

"Your Highness has to deal with the powerful and disobedient subordinates in the area, so I will let the humble ministers do it for me."

The same party fights against those who are different.

This has always been the case.

Those who agree with Your Highness will remain in office.

Those who rebel against Your Highness... just change it.

…

The Zhenzhou Government Office Warehouse is located near the east side of the city.

Compared with the deserted west of the city.

The east side of the city is not much better.

In addition to some merchants greeting customers on the street, vendors are hawking along the street.

There are no young adults in the refugee shacks where they have been resettled.

Even the old, weak, women and children were paid high wages by the powerful, and the whole family took the initiative to leave the city to find a way to survive.

Only near the government warehouse.

There are nearly a thousand slaves wearing different colors and with different surnames tattooed on their hats.

Walking in circles around the government warehouse.

The officers stationed at the warehouse were frightened.

But because they didn't take any drastic actions, they couldn't do any unnecessary behavior except worrying.

Even the warehouse is surrounded by these people's shops and shops.

It's even more impossible to chase people away.

"Coming, coming!"

"The prince is here!"

A commoner servant standing on the third floor saw the young man in charge wearing the prince's court uniform.

In his hand he held tightly the long scythe that symbolized his status.

He quickly shouted to the people downstairs.

"The prince is here, and he only brings a hundred people with him!"

A hundred people?!

Hear this sentence.

The powerful and powerful men who had been hiding their heads and tails all walked out of their shops with smiles on their faces.

Walk towards the warehouse door.

The officials saw those richly dressed old men.

Especially since several of them are their former officials.

He put his hand on the sword and didn't know whether to pull it out or not.

Because look at the attitude of these gentlemen.

He wanted to imitate the Crown Prince in grabbing food.

But the food was brought by troops sent by His Majesty the Emperor.
