"Half of the property will be distributed to the soldiers who went out to sea, and the other half will be transported back to Quanzhou."

Li Ke didn't quite understand Zhao Chen's arrangement.

Since the soldiers went to sea, they have been suffering on warships and gave them some of the money. This is normal.

It can also win people's hearts.

But if you have half of the money back to Quanzhou, what should you do?

Is it impossible to hand over the money to Quanzhou officials and let them share it with the people of Quanzhou?

Although Li Ke was also a prince, he had been in Shu for a long time before.

I know that although the officials of the Tang Dynasty were not completely dark, if the money was in their hands and then to the people, they would always have to peel them a layer of skin.

In the end, Zhao Chen could only get one name at most, without any practical benefits.

The people of Quanzhou are most grateful to the local officials.

This is not worth it.

"Brother, it's inappropriate to transport half of the property to Quanzhou. Otherwise, someone should transport it back to Chang'an directly and ask Sister Ruoshuang to arrange the place." Li Ke whispered to Zhao Chen.

When Zhao Chen heard Li Ke’s words, he certainly knew that he would have misled his meaning.

"The money is not intended to be distributed to the people of Quanzhou. I am planning to build several large ships in Quanzhou. Didn't you have the idea of ​​going to sea before? Our current ships cannot leave the sea." Zhao Chen said with a smile.

How could he return the money he seized from the Japanese ronin to the people of Quanzhou?

Japanese ronin has been rampant in Quanzhou for so many years, and most of the people in Quanzhou who lost their property are no longer there.

If you hand over this money, it will only make Quanzhou officials' money gluttonous.

Zhao Chen is planning to build sea ships in Quanzhou, which can also drive employment for the people of Quanzhou.

When Li Ke heard that Zhao Chen was preparing to build a ship in Quanzhou, he realized that he was wrong about Zhao Chen's meaning.

A smile immediately appeared on his face.

Thinking about the first time I saw a shark, even now Li Ke was still full of curiosity about the sea.

What's more, Zhao Chen said at the beginning that on the other side of the distant sea, there are many vast territory of the Tang Dynasty without any rain.

Li Ke dreamed that he would one day expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty, just like Zhao Chen, and the ancestors at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

Ichiro Watanabe knew that he had no choice.

In front of him, he could only tell Watanabe Kuroji everything he knew.

The injury on Watanabe Bear's legs was simply bandaged. At this moment, he dragged his injured leg and came to Zhao Chen with a pale face: "Report to His Highness the King of Han, the eldest brother said that among the officials in Quanzhou, he went to and from the governor of Quanzhou Zhang Ji.

Close, the news about Huludao was also told by the eldest brother to Zhang Ji to the King of Han..."

...

"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Ji suddenly began to feel panic in his heart.

The Quanzhou officials beside him quickly asked.

Zhang Ji waved his hand, but he couldn't tell me why he was suddenly so frightened.

Something scary seemed to happen.

But he really couldn't think of what it was.

"It's okay, maybe it's because I didn't have a good rest last night." Zhang Ji sat down slowly, and his mind was already thinking about Huludao.

It has been seven days since Zhao Chen and his team went to sea.

For such a long time, the water and food carried by the warships were almost exhausted.

According to common sense, Zhao Chen and the others should come back in the next two days.

But Zhang Ji also believed that Ichiro Watanabe and the others were ambushed in Huludao and would definitely be caught off guard by Zhao Chen and the others.

There is an 80% chance that Zhao Chen and the others will not be able to come back.

But since Zhao Chen can't come back, why did he suddenly feel panic again?

Is it because of the emperor?

"What have Your Majesty been doing these two days?" Zhang Ji asked about the whereabouts of the emperor in the past two days.

"Your Majesty has been wandering in the city these two days, and no situation has been discovered." Quanzhou officials said quickly.

These words made Zhang Ji frowned.

The emperor had no movement, and there would be no major problems in Huludao.

Then why is I so flustered suddenly?

Didn't have a good rest last night?

"Sir, do you need to call the doctor here for you?" The Quanzhou official asked again when he saw Zhang Ji's face was gloomy again.

Zhang Ji waved his hand, and before he could answer, a soldier from the Xuanjia Army ran out: "Governor Zhang, Your Majesty has an order to let you go and see the driver quickly."

Zhang Ji's expression changed slightly.

The emperor asked himself to come over to see the emperor, so he could have the servants under the Governor's Office report.

Why did they send soldiers from the Xuanjia Army instead?

"Okay, I'll go there right away." Zhang Ji nodded, but did not take action immediately.

"Old He, please go and tell General Hou Ming quickly and ask him to take people to wait on Sanming Street outside the Governor's Office as previously explained. If I haven't come out at noon, I will immediately lead people into the Governor's Office." Zhang Ji said in a low voice.

Standing beside the Quanzhou officials explain.

Quanzhou officials' expressions changed drastically.

Hou Ming is the general of the Quanzhou City Defense Army. Zhang Ji asked him to take people outside the Governor's Office to wait. Did the emperor just say he wanted to summon him? Actually...

...

"My minister Zhang Ji, pay homage to Your Majesty." In the Governor's Office, Zhang Ji half-beared his body to salute the emperor.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Ji.

When the emperor was in Chang'an, he saw the evaluation of Zhang Ji by officials from the Ministry of Personnel.

It is said that this person is gentle and elegant, with a great style.

Love the people as your son, and win the hearts of the people.

But Cheng Yaojin came to report today that Quanzhou Governor Zhang Ji was suspected of colluding with the Japanese ronin to murder the people of Quanzhou.

This was something the emperor did not expect.

The emperor even asked Cheng Yaojin twice if he had made a mistake.

Until Cheng Yaojin came up with the exact evidence.

"Governor Zhang has been an official in Quanzhou for three years since Wu De." The emperor spoke slowly, his face calm and his tone was very calm, as if he was just chatting about family matters.

"Thank you, in September of the third year of Wude, I was appointed as the magistrate of Quanzhou County Yamen and County, which has been twelve or thirteen years since then." Zhang Ji said with a smile, but he was thinking about what the emperor was going to do.

"I have also seen officials of the Ministry of Personnel who evaluate you in Quanzhou. Almost every year, the Ministry of Personnel wanted you to move to Chang'an in the past two years. You said that the people of Quanzhou need you, so I didn't go there.

, right." The emperor continued to say slowly.

"This is indeed happening." Zhang Ji smiled and bowed, and continued: "I have been in Quanzhou for many years and have known the people of Quanzhou. The people of Quanzhou regard me as friends, and I also regard them as friends. Although Chang'an is good, I am still

I don't want to leave Quanzhou."

"That's why I have always refused the recommendation from the Ministry of Personnel."

"Please atone for your sins!"

"I'm afraid that's not the case!" The emperor's sudden words made Zhang Ji's smile instantly turn into surprise.

Zhang Ji looked at the emperor blankly, but his fist hidden in his sleeve was slowly pinching it.

"Governor Zhang, if the people of Quanzhou know that you are the Quanzhou dog official who colludes with Japanese ronin, I'm afraid they won't treat you as friends anymore." The emperor's voice sounded again.
