Chapter 450 Emperor Dajing: What!? Praying for rain succeeded!?
"Peace talks!?"
Emperor Dajing said coldly: "It's easy for you to say, peace talks!"
"We are running low on food and fodder! How can we negotiate peace?"
"Your Majesty, we can send someone to discuss the specific amount of food and fodder."
"In addition, we can also purchase food and fodder from the public."
"Try to avoid fighting as much as possible." Cai Jing said respectfully.
At the same time, I have already started to cheer myself up in my heart!
He now has a lot of food and supplies stored in his hands. If he takes the opportunity to sell them to the court, he will definitely make a fortune!
"Purchase food?"
"Where is the money in the Ministry of Revenue?"
Emperor Dajing gritted his teeth in anger!
Being an emperor is so tiring!
If he had known this earlier, he wouldn’t have done it!
There is not a single peaceful day nowadays!
"Your Majesty! Good news! Great news!"
Just when Emperor Dajing was looking worried, Eunuch Zhang ran in with an excited look on his face!
"Zhang Aiqing, what's the good news?"
Emperor Dajing asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty! The drought in Jiangnan has been lifted!" Eunuch Zhang said excitedly.
"What do you mean?"
"Release?"
Cai Jing was stunned when he heard this!
Emperor Dajing also looked puzzled!
If Jiang Chen can calm the situation, the disaster relief should be successful, right? ?
What does it mean now that the drought is over?
Eunuch Zhang glanced at Cai Jing with disdain, then said with a smug look on his face: "Your Majesty, the latest news from the Jiangnan Golden Dragon Guards!"
"After arriving in Jiangnan, Marquis Jingyuan used swift means to suppress the disaster in Jinling County, and designed a plan to reduce the local grain prices to a level lower than before the drought!"
"Marquis Jingyuan has collected enough food for disaster relief and stabilized the situation in Jiangnan!"
"Haha, Lord Zhang, even if this is a meritorious disaster relief effort, it can't be said to have ended the drought, right!?"
"After all, Jiangnan is still suffering from a severe drought!" Cai Jing said with disdain.
……
"Haha, Master Cai, I'm still not finished!"
Eunuch Zhang smiled coldly.
Then he said to Emperor Dajing with a respectful look: "Your Majesty, a few days ago, Marquis Jingyuan built a rain-making platform in Yangzhou County, where the disaster was the most severe, and personally went on the stage to pray for rain!"
"Afterwards... the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River actually received a shower of sweet dew from the sky!"
"It has rained heavily for three consecutive days in the three counties south of the Yangtze River!"
"Now, the drought in Jiangnan has been completely resolved!"
"What!?"
After Eunuch Zhang said this, Emperor Dajing could no longer sit still!
"Marquis Jingyuan... has such unfathomable powers!?"
"Quick! Pass on my order and order Marquis Jingyuan to return to the court immediately. I will reward you handsomely!"
Emperor Dajing said excitedly!
"Your Majesty is wise!" Eunuch Zhang hurriedly flattered him.
"Your Majesty! Praying for rain is sheer nonsense!"
"Your Majesty, don't be credulous!" Cai Jing said gritting his teeth.
If everything Eunuch Zhang said is true!
Then… once Jiang Chen returns to the imperial court, he will definitely be highly valued, and he might even become the one that the Emperor Dajing uses to suppress him!
Eunuch Zhang also holds a very high status in the court.
But apart from his own godson, there are very few people who follow Eunuch Zhang!
After all, soldiers and generals look down on eunuchs!
Among the civil officials, no one can compete with Cai Jing!
But, if Jiang Chen came back, then...
Cai Jing was a little scared!
"Your Majesty, everyone in Jiangnan knows about the sweet dew from heaven!"
"Golden Dragon Guards, do not deceive your majesty!"
"If your majesty has any doubts, you can wait until the guards return and then ask again!"
Eunuch Zhang said this with a smile on his face.
He would not let go of such an opportunity to help Jiang Chen!
……
"Okay, I believe in Lord Zhang, and I also believe in the Golden Dragon Guards!"
"Pass on my order, and have Marquis Jingyuan return to the court immediately!"
Emperor Dajing said with a firm look on his face.
"The minister obeys the order!"
Eunuch Zhang took the order and left, never seeing Cai Jing again!
Cai Jing gritted his teeth in anger!
He even thought, if Eunuch Zhang helped Jiang Chen like this, what would happen if Jiang Chen came to the capital and joined forces with Eunuch Zhang?
You should know that honeycomb charcoal was what Jiang Chen presented to Eunuch Zhang!
Without the income from honeycomb charcoal, how could Eunuch Zhang have established the Golden Dragon Guard! ?
"Your Majesty, regarding the border issue..."
Cai Jing did not give up and asked Emperor Dajing about border issues again.
"Lord Cai, after all, you should send someone to continue the talks over there and see if they can give you less food and fodder!" Emperor Dajing said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise! When purchasing food and fodder..." Cai Jing asked excitedly.
If this matter falls into his hands, then he... will make a fortune!
"Let's buy food and fodder and wait until the border talks come to a conclusion!"
"You go down first, I want to be alone for a while!"
"I obey your order..."
After hearing what Emperor Dajing said, Cai Jing left helplessly.
But he was full of worries at this time.
He always felt that there was something wrong with Emperor Dajing's attitude!
The task of purchasing food and fodder won’t be left to him, right?
But how could he know that the Emperor of Dajing was thinking, if Jiang Chen was sent to attack Dakang, and General Luo and his men were sent to attack the grassland, would they have a chance of winning!
Jiang Chen can pray for rain, maybe... he can defeat Da Kang!
The more Emperor Dajing thought about it, the more excited he became!
……
On the other hand, Jiang Chen didn’t know that Emperor Dajing valued him so much.
These days, Jiang Chen and Su Ruowei have been getting along very well.
This mature and intellectual Su Ruowei gave Jiang Chen the feeling of a beautiful female CEO from his previous life. How could Jiang Chen not like her!
And Jiang Chen also noticed that in the past few days... the Eighth Wise King's patience with him was getting lower and lower!
"Master Su, I may... have to leave Suzhou and Jiangnan."
On this day, Jiang Chen said goodbye to Su Ruowei at Su's house.
“You…want to leave?”
"Returning to Luzhou County?"
When Su Ruowei heard that Jiang Chen was leaving, she suddenly felt empty.
She has been with Jiang Chen recently, and she feels more and more attracted to him.
Now... Jiang Chen is leaving...
"Maybe he's going to the capital. After all, the issues in Jiangnan have been resolved, and he needs to go to the capital to meet His Majesty." Jiang Chen said with a faint smile.
"The capital?"
“It’s really a good place.”
Su Ruowei seemed to be thinking about something.
"Lord Jiang, please go to the capital. I can visit you there after a while."
Su Ruowei said with a smile on her face.
"Really?" Jiang Chen was overjoyed when he heard that.
"Haha~ How could I lie to Lord Jiang~"
"Lord Jiang, rest assured, you must treat me well when I go to the capital~"
Su Ruowei smiled charmingly.
Jiang Chen looked at Su Ruowei's charming smile and couldn't help but walk forward.
"Ruo Wei..."
Jiang Chen reached out and grabbed Su Ruowei's hand.
"Lord Jiang, you..."
Su Ruowei felt weak all over when Jiang Chen grabbed her.
She originally wanted to hide.
But for some reason, she didn't have the strength to dodge.
Jiang Chen looked at Su Ruowei's flushed face and said affectionately: "Ruowei, I have been with you for the past few days. I like you more and more. Do you like me?"
