Chapter 342 The clues on food and grass
Wang He didn't expect that after just a few words, he could make King Ning despair and collect food and grass himself.
The original dissatisfaction with King Ning suddenly dissipated from his heart, and Wang He's view of King Ning couldn't help but change.
He originally thought that King Ning was just like King Chu, a prince who did not know the sufferings of the people.
However, he didn't expect that King Ning was so wise that he could even listen to his own words.
While moved, Wang He was also invisibly captured by Zhu Quan's actions.
On the way back, Wang He held most of the bags of food collected by King Ning and led the soldiers himself, and the joy on his face was self-evident.
Not only him, but also many soldiers under the command of the King of Chu in Wuchang City brought him, they felt that Zhu Quan was more suitable to become the vassal king of Wuchang City than the King of Chu.
It would be great if His Highness Ning could really take over Wuchang City, it would be better than letting Wuchang City rot in the hands of the King of Chu.
Everyone's hearts were filled with awesomeness because of Zhu Quan's previous actions.
Zhu Quan did not notice the change in the mood of these soldiers.
He and others returned to Wuchang City.
Wang He respectfully placed half of the bag of grain in his hand on the table in Ning Wang's study, and then respectfully retreated.
Zhu Quan looked at the food and grass on the table and suddenly became in trouble.
Just half a bag of food is not enough for the soldiers to have a meal, let alone take it out to help the people.
But the food and grass are used to him, and they have no use.
What should I do if I want to use these food and grass? Zhu Quan had no plans at all.
When Zhu Ye came to find Zhu Quan, he saw Zhu Quan staring at a sack of trance.
"His Royal Highness Ning?"
Zhu Ye shouted softly, but Zhu Quan obviously didn't hear it.
"Your Highness Ning!"
Zhu Ye increased his voice again, which scared Zhu Quan so much that he was so excited that his hand, which was holding his chin, fell off the table and knocked the sack on the table to the ground.
The grain in the sack was spread along the floor to Zhu Ye's feet.
"Where did the military ration come from?"
Zhu Ye glanced at the rice on the ground and asked strangely. He squatted down and put the rice scattered on the ground into the sack one by one.
"The ones found in Fanbang camp should have been snatched from Wuchang City before."
Zhu Quan paused slightly as Zhu Ye's hand packing food and supplies, and looked up at him with panic.
"how?"
Looking at Zhu Ye's expression, Zhu Quan didn't understand why Zhu Ye looked at him with such a look.
"What did you say?"
Zhu Ye held the sack in his hand and stood up to ask Zhu Quan again.
"I said, this is the food and grass taken away by the bandits in the Fan country from Wuchang City, which was left in the camp and collected by the soldiers."
Zhu Quan thought Zhu Ye didn't hear it clearly, so he repeated it loudly.
"impossible."
Zhu Ye swept the things on the table in front of Zhu Quan to the ground, and poured all the food and grass in the sack onto the table.
"Are you crazy?"
Zhu Quan was pushed away by Zhu Ye's actions, took a few steps back in panic, and looked at Zhu Ye with dissatisfaction.
Zhu Ye ignored Zhu Quan and just solemnly slid the food and grass on the table for a few times before looking back at Zhu Quan behind him: "Is this really discovered at Fanbang Camp?"
"What did I lie to you?"
When Zhu Quan saw Zhu Ye's panicked expression, he realized that something was wrong: "What?
Is there anything wrong with it?"
He stepped forward and looked at the food and grass on the table, but he didn't see anything.
"You didn't see it?"
Zhu Ye looked at Zhu Quan, and yelled in anger from Zhu Quan's confused eyes: "Brother, this is military ration!"
"Military ration?"
Zhu Quan couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at the food and grass on the table, but he really couldn't see where the food and grass on the table showed the word "military ration".
Even if Zhu Ye is angry, he can't exclaim at Zhu Quan.
If these foods and supplies were placed in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang would probably be able to see something wrong at a glance.
But if Zhu Quan, who grew up in the palace with fine clothes and food since childhood, probably the rice he ate on weekdays was refined by the imperial chef in the palace and delivered directly to him.
He may not be able to see the subtle differences between civilian food and military food.
"Look at these rice, there are three of them. Although they look the same, only those who have grown the land can see the trick."
"This kind of rice, which is a specialty of Wuchang, has a full grain and is a tax valley stored in the granary in Wuchang City."
"Of course, there is no doubt that these rice were snatched out of the granary when the foreign countries occupied Wuchang City."
"The other type, although it looks nothing, is actually a bit dry and flat, and it is obviously left for a long time."
"If nothing unexpected happens, these rice are the food that the people buy at home to live, and they are robbed by foreign thieves."
"It's just like this kind of rice! Your Highness, look."
Zhu Ye gave a part of the rice on the table and pointed it out to Zhu Quan.
"Although this rice looks similar to Mingu, it is not produced by Wuchang, but comes from...Beijing."
After Zhu Ye finished speaking, the room suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Quan's breathing stopped. He looked at Zhu Ye with an incredible face.
What does Zhu Ye mean? If he can't figure it out, he will be really sorry for his identity as a prince.
"But how do you know that this grain is the military ration from Peking?"
"You have also said that the rice in Peking looks similar to the food in Wuchang."
"Can't it be that the merchants from Wuchang brought food and grass from Peking and sold it to the people of Wuchang?"
Although Zhu Quan explained, his panic was revealed in his tone.
"You may not believe this."
"You look at the quality of some rice, it is obviously a batch."
"These merchants rely on the people's easy bullying. At the same price, the rice they sell to the people is somewhat mixed with ears and rice husks."
"There are only military rations. These merchants dare not fool them, and they dare not use inferior products as good things. If they are mixed with ears of grain and rice husks, they will be investigated and their lives will be lost."
"So... Your Highness, I don't need to say more."
Zhu Ye was in a heavy mood.
Whatever you are afraid of is what you come.
What he was most afraid of was that this matter would have something to do with Zhu Di.
As a result, I still didn't escape.
If Zhu Di had not intervened in this matter, he would not believe it if he had not been beaten to death.
With such conclusive evidence, even if Zhu Di has a hundred mouths, he rarely defends himself and gets free.
However, how could Zhu Di become a person who cares about the lives of the people for the sake of power?
Mingming, Zhu Di was a wise king.
Why do you do this like this?
