Chapter 744 Relying on
Seeing that Zhao Si was not revealing any words, Zhong Shizhong said: "Your Highness, Dali Kingdom has been a smoky land in ancient times, and the area is difficult to move. It is not without reason that Taizu listed it as a 'non-demand country'. Therefore, if you want to solve the chaos in Dali, you must be quick and not delayed. First, delaying will cause changes. Second, the court does not have much food and grass, and delaying will be very unfavorable to me."
Zhao Si didn't want to pay attention to him and said, "Just tell the officials at that time."
Zhao Si was very enthusiastic about marching and fighting, but he was a little dissatisfied with the fact that he could not send troops immediately after delaying for a long time.
Although it was due to winter and food problems, his patience was still not left.
Master Zhun sighed in the center and said nothing more.
He actually knew that some of the great figures in the court wanted him to solve the Dali Kingdom in one fell swoop and completely incorporate it into the territory of the Song Dynasty to relieve his worries.
But reality is difficult to do. If he really wants to do it, the 50,000 people in his hands are not enough, and the food and supplies provided by the court are not allowed to delay him for three months.
Send troops, withdraw troops, and give him time to fight in real war, which may be less than a month!
Master Zhong was worried, not knowing if the official had changed his mind.
He remembered that in the palace, the official told him that his strategy would prevail.
...
That night, it was difficult to calm inside and outside Quanzhou Port.
However, after more than ten days of wandering on the sea, Zhao Xu finally slept with a stable and stable sleep.
Early the next morning, Zhao Xu was taking a comfortable bath, and Hu Zhongwei came to report: "Young Master, General Manager Guo is here."
Zhao Xu covered his head with a towel and said in a vague voice: "Let him come in."
Hu Zhongwei responded, and then there was a sound of footsteps.
Guo Cheng entered the room and saw Zhao Xu bare-handedly with a towel covering his head. He was stunned for a moment and quickly saluted: "My teacher..."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm outside, just call me young master. How are you preparing?"
Guo Cheng and Zhao Xu did not spend a long time together, and vaguely realized that this official acted really "at randomly" without the majesty and abiding by the rules of the late emperor.
He looked at Zhao Xu's face covered with towel and said, "Yes. Go back to the young master, the Quanzhou navy has been preparing for a long time. I have planned it all night and it has been basically done. I will prepare for another day and I can preview tomorrow."
Zhao Xu breathed comfortably, took off the towel, rubbed it in the water, and smiled with satisfaction: "The efficiency of the Qing family is indeed high, so let's go tomorrow. I can't stay in Quanzhou for long. In the evening, I guess Zhao Si and Master Zhong will arrive, and I will see them."
Guo Cheng bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
Zhao Xu was rubbing his shoulders when he suddenly sighed and said, "I almost forgot that I had to see a businessman, just noon. Lao Hu, prepare two side dishes, two full heads, a bowl of soup, and eat something casually. Later, Han Jing has come and let him accompany me to take a walk."
"Yes." Hu Zhongwei responded.
Zhao Xu stood up from the water, looked at Guo Cheng with his bare butt, carefully wiped it, stepped out of the bathtub, took the bath towel and put it on.
Guo Cheng didn't dare to look at it, so he quickly lowered his head.
Zhao Xu wrapped his bath towel and turned around and smiled with Guo Cheng: "If this is in the north, it will still be a cotton coat. In the south, you can wear single clothes."
"Yes, I'm not used to it." Guo Chengdao. He is also a northerner and is not so easy to adapt to the humid and hot weather in the south.
Zhao Xu came to the small table beside him and walked down, poured a cup of tea, handed it to the opposite side, and said, "Sit down and say."
Let the official pour tea?!
Even if it was not the first time, Guo Cheng still felt a little unacceptable. He gritted his teeth and sat down opposite Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu didn't care. He took a sip of tea to relieve his thirst and said, "It must be true. What I want is a real thing, and I can fight and resist the navy. It's not a fraud or a performance for me."
Before Guo Cheng could touch the teacup, he hurriedly stood up and said in a stern manner: "I have used my life as a guarantee. This exercise is absolutely false!"
Zhao Xu reached out and waved, saying, "Can I still not believe you? I am telling you to beware of the people below. In the capital, I am deceived and coaxed by a group of people every day. In the local area, if I reveal my identity, it will definitely be the same, so you have to be careful."
"Yes, I understand." Guo Cheng became more and more solemn.
As he was talking, Hu Zhongwei came in with a plate.
Zhao Xu looked at Guo Cheng and said, "Have you eaten? I didn't eat it together."
Guo Cheng really didn't eat it. He took a look, but his eyes were still red now.
Guo Cheng said, "I have used it, the official... I will use it slowly, I will stare at them."
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Well, go to Qing's family, pay attention to rest."
"Mr. Xie, I will leave." Guo Cheng responded and slowly turned around and left.
Zhao Xu took a sip of the soup before picking up the steamed buns, took a few bites of the side dishes, suddenly looked at Hu Zhongwei and said, "Where has the tangerine peel been?"
His appearance in Suzhou is almost equivalent to showing up, and many people have guessed that, so when Zhao Xu was in Suzhou, he asked Chen Pi to put down his imperial carriage and headed straight south.
Hu Zhongwei said: "The news from Quanzhou Imperial City Department said that it was a letter that had been passed by Suzhou three days ago."
Zhao Xu thought for a while and said, "Let him not come to Quanzhou, wait for me on Jiangnan West Road, and ask the Imperial City Department to collect the various situations on Jiangnan West Road and summarize them for me."
"Yes." Hu Zhongwei responded.
After Zhao Xu said this, he picked up the memorial on the small table behind him and read it while eating.
I don’t know when it started, but he couldn’t stop for a moment. He must use it with one mind and could not concentrate on doing one thing unless he was particularly devoted.
After reading two memorials, Zhao Xu finished eating. Without approval, he clapped his hands, stood up, walked out, and said, "Han Jingyou, do you know my identity?"
Hu Zhongwei followed Zhao Xu, crossed the threshold, and said, "I don't know, the villain recruited him in the name of the Royal Piao General Number."
Zhao Xu walked towards the stairs and said, "Let him come and accompany me."
"Yes." Hu Zhongwei responded, waved and asked a guard to pass the message.
Zhao Xu left this small restaurant and wandered around the street.
This street is obviously very new, and both the shops along the street and the ground are obviously not long before construction.
There are not so many people coming and going, but there are more merchants, but there are not many ordinary customers.
‘It should all be around Quanzhou Port…’ Zhao Xu knew it secretly. The construction of Quanzhou Port was huge, and the radiated down by the court naturally led to a large number of commercial developments.
Especially with the deliberate promotion of the Royal Piao, it developed very rapidly.
‘Quanzhou Navy basically relies on this place…’ As far as Zhao Xu’s eyes can see, all kinds of shops, except for some retail ones, are basically large-scale, and obviously serve Quanzhou Port.
In addition to the construction of Quanzhou Port, there are also tens of thousands of people with food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there is huge profit at any point.
Zhao Xu walked slowly, and in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, he also saw a lot of weapons, armor, bows and crossbows.
‘Are these legal and can be sold anywhere?’
Zhao Xu was confused. He really didn't know about this and was a little uncertain.
