Chapter 194 Zhu Yuanzhang Responds to Heaven(2/2)
Seeing this, Chen Wang couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
"All the ships of all sizes and sizes that can walk on the rivers and lakes in my Shen family are ready to gather in Dongting Lake. They will load all the grains on ships early tomorrow morning!"
"This matter will be arranged by the third brother (third brother)!"
Since the food is transported, there are no external threats.
Shen Jin, Chen Wang and others no longer worry too much. They answered casually and then dispersed.
Early the next morning, the Zhouzhuang was completely boiling.
Boats of all sizes were packed with all the docks in Zhouzhuang, with no outside ship.
Ten million stones of food!
All the people of Zhouzhuang, plus all the boatmen, were at noon and there were more than 30 large ships, filled with food, and then they followed the Wujiang River toward the Yangtze River.
After arriving at the Yangtze River, I began to go upstream again.
Along the way, as Shen Jin said, it was very safe.
Even on the vast Yangtze River, I have never seen a ship.
Only a few figures flashed from time to time on both sides of the Yangtze River, which made Chen Wang and others know that they were under surveillance.
Two days later, more than 30 grain transport ships led by Shen Wang came to Yingtian City safely.
The entire Yangtze River port in Yingtian City has long been cleared out.
Tang He led a group of Beijing Guards and took over.
"Father!"
Chen Wang got off the boat and hurriedly knelt down to Chen Wansan who was guarding the shore.
"This is Lord Tang, the Censor of the Zuodu, and Lord Yang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Why don't you pay a visit?"
Chen Wansan said quickly.
"Caomin greets Lord Tang and Lord Yang!"
After hearing this, Chen Wang bowed again and bowed.
"Young Master Chen, please get up quickly!"
Tang He looked kind and looked happy.
In front of me, there were more than 30 ships of grain. Now, Tang He looked at all the Shen family and was very pleasing to him.
"Thank you two sirs!"
Chen Wang thanked him and quickly stood up.
"Report to the two adults, the total grain carried by these ships is 10 million stones, so please ask a few adults to count it!"
"Come!" Yang Siyi shouted.
"grown ups!"
A head of the Ministry of Revenue quickly stood up and responded.
Take stock of all the food and make sure to get it right!
"Yes, sir!"
A number of officials from the Ministry of Revenue quickly responded.
"Download grain!"
Seeing this, Chen Wang hurriedly took a group of boatmen and began to unload the food from the ship.
At the same time, a group of laborers brought by Shen Wansan also stepped forward to unload the grain.
At the same time, at the West Gate of Yingtian, not far from the pier here.
Zhu Yuanzhang and his group who returned from Bianliang were also welcomed.
"Sir, look..."
On the wall of the Ximen City, soldiers guarding the city were far away and saw a team coming from afar.
Outside Yingtian City, a team suddenly appeared. The soldiers guarding the city who had not received any news couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Sir, do you want to close the city gate?"
"etc!"
The city guard wanted to close the city gate, but after vaguely seeing the familiar clothes on the soldiers, his expression changed drastically.
In my mind, I couldn't help but think of the team that was also at Ximen last month.
As the team got closer, the city guard's expression became more and more excited.
"Hurry open the city gates so that all the people can get out of the way and clear the road!"
"Sir, this?"
"The Emperor is back!"
"emperor?"
Then, the entire Ximen began to clamor.
"We're back!"
At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was riding a horse, looked at the familiar city gate in front of him, and a smile appeared on his tired face.
"Go and enter the city!"
"yes!"
With a loud shout, Zhu Yuanzhang led a group of guards to pass through the city gate and galloped quickly towards the palace.
"emperor?"
"I have seen the emperor..."
As Zhu Yuanzhang entered the palace, some officials in Yingtian City finally received the news that the emperor was back.
Only the crown prince Zhu Biao, the latest one received.
By the time he hurried to the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang had already washed up and was sitting steadily on the dragon throne, reviewing the memorials. Li Shanchang was standing aside.
"Father?"
"My son is paying homage to my father!"
"Biao'er?...get up!"
Seeing that it was Zhu Biao, Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.
"Hmm? Where is Tanghe?"
After not seeing Tang He for a long time, a trace of suspicion flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes.
"Report to my father, Lord Tang went to the west wharf of the city to receive the food!"
Zhu Biao replied quickly, and at the same time, his face full of joy.
“Receive food?”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again.
"When I go back to my father, it is the 10 million stone of grain that the Shen family compensated!"
Zhu Biao replied.
"Ten million stones?"
Now, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer sit still, so he stood up and looked at Zhu Biao tightly.
"The Shen family really raised 10 million stones of grain?"
"Back to the emperor, that's right!"
This time, Li Shanchang couldn't help but bow and replied: "Your Majesty, the food of the Shen family should have been unloaded from the ship!"
Seeing Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang, they were both so sure.
Zhu Yuanzhang then believed that the Shen family had really collected 10 million stones of grain.
Moreover, they have all been shipped to Yingtian City.
He couldn't help but look overjoyed, "Let's go, we're going to have a look!"
"Yes, Father!"
"Abide by the order!"
Just don't wait for a moment. Before Zhu Yuanzhang sat down on the chair, he took Zhu Biao and Li Shanchang directly to the wharf in the west of the city.
By the time they arrived, the vast pier in the west of the city was already full of piles of food.
On the side, there were also carriages containing food coming and going.
