Chapter 817

Zhuang Rou was taken away by Tong Yu. He is now the governor of the City Lord's Mansion and a seventh-rank official, but his power is quite large.

Yu Sui was the deputy commander, in charge of the incorporated army on the island and was also responsible for island affairs.

The island is indeed owned by Chuxia, but the imperial edict has not been released yet, and the little prince has no time to take care of the food, drink, defecation and sensation of hundreds of thousands of people on the island.

The Nangong family has just been eradicated, and there are still many things to deal with on the island, and it will be impossible to live in peace for a while.

Chu Xia didn't like to care about such nostalgic business, so she just threw her sleeves and ran away. All the matter was left to Yu Sui, and she would return it to him when the island was cleaned up.

Zhuang Rou, a man from Yu Sui, knew that the eldest son of Dali Temple Queen and his brother's friend would bring her candy when she came to her home to play with her.

Now that the island has just taken over, there are still many hidden arrangements by the Nangong family here, and it is not enough to rely solely on force. He has to send a reliable civil servant like him to deal with it.

It took more than two hours to ride a horse from the wharf to the main city. Tong Yu rushed over with a quick horse and whipped it. Now you can walk slowly when you go back.

Zhuang Rou looked at both sides of the road and could have seen the seaside, but as she walked, the sea disappeared. What appeared in her sight were small bunches of hills, woods, fields and small villages.

The official road is well-decorated and covered with large pieces of stone, so it will not be covered with mud when it rains.

Perhaps it was because the Nangong family had just been destroyed and the island was still uneasy. I often saw teams of soldiers riding horses walking past the road. It didn’t look like rushing, but more like patrol.

Tong Yu rode next to Zhuang Rou and introduced her to the customs and delicacies on the island.

The lives of the people are not much different from those on the mainland, but the specialties are different. There are several types of seafood that are unique here, and the way to eat them is unique.

Before Tong Yu came, she had already ordered the kitchen to prepare and had a good banquet for Zhuang Rou tonight.

Zhuang Rou listened carefully to her island and was very satisfied with it.

Looking at the rice in the fields, she asked with a smile: "Tong Yu, is the grain harvest on the island good?"

"Yes, the climate on the island is very good, and the grain harvest is twice a year, and this year is another bumper harvest." Tong Yu replied.

Zhuang Rou felt relieved, so that even if she took away the food, she would not be afraid of famine on the island.

There were still followers on the way, but Zhuang Rou did not say his purpose. Now is not the time.

After all, she came to save the Qingliang people. It sounds bad to say that, so she would talk to Tong Yu alone when there was no one tomorrow.

There was a promise and token from the little prince, and everyone was acquaintance. He couldn't say that he could send someone to transport the grain.

She had only one person and could not take away so much food.

After talking about this place, Tong Yu also talked about what happened in the capital, but avoided the Nangong clan and only mentioned some interesting things in the city or in the court.

Walking from the scorching sun to the setting sun, the group finally arrived at Xiacheng, which is not far from the sea. Standing outside the city, you can see the sunset in the sea in the distance.

The sky was dyed orange red, the sea surface was shining with golden light, seabirds rose and fell, and the scenery was amazing.

When everyone entered Xiacheng, they could feel a sense of silence. There were not many pedestrians on the street. Although the shops were all open, they felt empty.

Zhuang Rou thought for a while and said to Tong Yu: "Have you slaughtered the city?"

Tong Yu smiled with snow-white teeth: "Jie Zhuang was joking. How could we do such a thing? It was because we encountered obstacles from the city defense army, and casualties were bound to be inevitable."

"There is also that the Nangong family has been entrenched here for too long, and its clan members are spread throughout Xiacheng, and most of the powerful people in other towns are from the Nangong family."

"We can only do our jobs according to the imperial edict. We must have taken all the members of the Nangong clan, and no one of the people killed them indiscriminately."

He smiled helplessly, "But I can't stand the number of people, and there are still many stubborn old ministers. After this trouble, there were fewer people in the city.

Zhuang Rou smelled it head-on, but it was too late and the smell of blood could not be seen.

"I just asked casually. My brother did big things, so I won't talk too much." She glanced at Tong Yu and said with a smile.

Tong Yu also smiled back. He was really afraid that Zhuang Rou would intervene just now. After all, she is kind-hearted and likes to stand up for justice the most. If you see those detained people are pitiful, it will be embarrassing to ask for release.

Seeing that she had no interest, she breathed a sigh of relief.

There are many people in the city lord's mansion, and they are renovating according to Chu Xia's habit of living. The door has been replaced with a magnificent plaque with the word "Xia".

This is the most killed place in the city, and every place must be carefully cleaned, and even the brick gaps are not spared.

Otherwise, if the little prince walked up one day and bleeding came out from under the jade bricks, it would be their dereliction of duty.

Zhuang Rou first went to see Yu Sui. He was an acquaintance. After calling Brother Yu, he got the benefits and got the waist card that he could walk at will.

There were many officials sent to the island, plus some surrendered officials. After hearing that this was Zhuang Xuewen's sister, he immediately wanted to squeeze into the evening banquet and wanted to greet her well.

Zhuang Rou naturally didn't put on any airs. She knew that this was all the face of her brother. They just wanted to sell it well, so she gave them this opportunity.

After a special seafood banquet, she stayed at the city lord's mansion for one night.

The next morning, Zhuang Rou got up early, after breakfast, ran out of the city lord's mansion, and arrived at the second pier on the island.

Unlike the pier on the tail, which is full of fishing boats, this pier is particularly huge, and both merchant ships and passenger ships are parked here.

Zhuang Rou also saw more than a dozen warships parked in the corner of the dock, and the flags on them were replaced by the words "Dahao".

The changes on the island did not affect the merchants. Instead, a large number of merchants tried to re-dividate the interests in this change and ran over.

Now that the island owners have changed, the promised ones before certainly do not count. Taking this opportunity to flatter new officials, they may be able to seize business opportunities.

Zhuang Rou looked at the busy dock with great enthusiasm, thinking whether it was better to transport grain by warship or merchant ship, she saw Tong Yu, staring at people transporting goods on a ship.

"Tong Yu!" she shouted, then ran over and asked casually, "What are you loading with? Are they all sea food?"

Tong Yu smiled and said, "Jie Zhuang, these are all food. They were cheaper in the Nangong family before, but now they have finally got them back."

When Zhuang Rou heard something was wrong, she hurriedly asked, "Is it the military ration used by the Nangong clan to rebel?"

"Yes, I have to transport them all back." This is not a secret, Tong Yu replied honestly.

I actually started to be lucky. If I came one step late, I wouldn’t have left early.

Zhuang Rou hurriedly pulled Tong Yu to a place where no one was around and whispered: "Tong Yu, you can't take away this grain, the little prince has given it to me."

Tong Yu was puzzled, "Zhuang Jie'er, why do you want so much food? Are you reselling it? If you lack money, just tell Lord Zhuang no, and you can also shorten Sister Zhuang's expenses."

"No, I don't sell it, nor do I want the money, I just want the grain." Zhuang Rou shook her head, pursed her lips and looked at the boat, "Which boat is this?"

It’s not that it’s not that it’s necessary to resell it. Tong Yu couldn’t think of why she wanted food, so she advised: “Jess Zhuang, this is military ration, and you can’t be transferred at will. What exactly do you want? If you want dozens of dans, I’ll pay you the money to buy it.”

"..." Zhuang Rou frowned and could only lower her voice and said: "There are locust plagues in four counties in Qingliang State. The people have already experienced food shortages and have begun to starve to death."

"I couldn't bear it. After talking to the little prince, he gave me the token and gave me all the food on the island so that I could use it to save the people."

Tong Yu looked at her in amazement, her eyes full of surprise, "Zhuang Jie'er, do you want to use Dahao's food to save Qingliang's people?"

"Do they have no emperor or court? Or is Qingliang surrendered to me, Dahao, or is there no food for everyone in Qingliang State? Their emperor asks you for help?" He questioned.

Zhuang Rou couldn't answer, of course Qingliang had something to eat. Their rich and powerful people ate big fish and meat, and the people who had no food were just the people.

She responded for a while: "It's just that I feel something when I meet the road. You know, I can't stand this."

"Zhuang Jie'er, I can't give you the grain. This batch of grain was called by the adults. The transfer order was brought by the Prince Yinde. The Prince knew very well that the grain was requisitioned, and the prince could not take away the grain with his token alone." Tong Yu couldn't bear it, and the silly sister was cheated.

Zhuang Rou stayed there, touched the token in her arms, and took a deep breath.

"Is it in a hurry to use it?" she asked.

Tong Yu shook her head, "Zhuang Jie'er, I can't say some things, you can't ask. But after listening to my brother's advice, although I always cause trouble, you have never misled the adults."

"And this matter is unreasonable, it cannot be moved, it cannot be transported, and it cannot be distributed in Qingliang."

After saying that, both of them fell silent and the atmosphere was very awkward.

After a while, Zhuang Rou smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "I understand, go and do your business. I see someone is here to find you."

Tong Yu looked back and saw an official looking here with an account book, and he wanted to find him if he had something to do.

He said, "Jie Zhuang, you can stay on the island for a few more days. Although military rations cannot be used, you can still buy grain on the market. After I finish my work, I will help you buy all the grain."

"Okay, go and do it." Zhuang Rou nodded.

Tong Yu was busy, and from time to time he looked up at Zhuang Rou with concern. Seeing that she was just looking for a place to sit on the pier, looking at the scenery on the sea, he felt relieved.

I was afraid that she would always be impulsive and rob the food.

Zhuang Rou was not so stupid as to rob her brother's military rations for the sake of the people of Qingliang, otherwise she would have thought she had really defected to become a member of Qingliang.

Facing the cool sea breeze, she took out the token and held it in her hand and played with it. After a while, she muttered: "It seems that what the little prince wants to do in Qingliang is more dangerous than I think. This is not something that anyone has underestimated."

"It's really embarrassing to spread the good name of others everywhere and not giving food."

She smiled, took the token in her arms, stood up and shouted to Tong Yu from a distance, "Tong Yu, I'll go back to the city lord's mansion to wait for you first."

Tong Yu responded and watched her walk towards the city lord's mansion.

After he finished all the work, he sent someone to inquire about how much food there was on the market. After he returned to the city lord's mansion, he only found a farewell letter to ask him to go to Tail Wharf to pick up the big dark horse and raise it.
