Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 275

[Chapter 275 The Grain Arrives]

Grass Arrived “Xie Yu, see Your Highness.”

A middle-aged businessman in a green robe saw Zhao Xu in the reception hall of the palace and bowed to him.

“Excuse me.” Zhao Xu said.

Not long after Feng’er left, Xie’s family arrived.

Needless to say, the purpose of the powerful clan is for artillery.

But Zhao Xu still cares about the Xie family.

This is related to the ability to divide and disintegrate power groups.

“This king is about to send someone to the capital to present a generous gift to the empress and the crown prince. I didn’t expect that your Xie family would come here, but it just so happens that I just let you take it back this time.” Zhao Xu said.

Xie Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Although he is not an official in the court, he is also an important person in the Xie family. He has long known that the Xie family intends to win King Yan.

It’s just that Yan Wang has always been very indifferent, it seems that the Xie family is just hot.

Now that King Yan suddenly mentioned giving generous gifts to Empress Xie and the prince, he was naturally surprised.

In particular, King Yan called the deposed prince a prince.

In his opinion, King Yan is not a reckless person.

Calling the prince like this must have a deep meaning, and this deep meaning is what he is telling him.

He admitted that the deposed prince was the prince.

This means that he is on the side of the Xie family.

Thinking of this, he was slightly excited.

The battle for the throne is related to the status of the eight major clans in the era of the new monarch.

Whether they are the Xie family or other families, they attach great importance to it.

Now, with the support of King Yan, it would be more hopeful for the abolished prince to inherit the throne.

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Looking at King Yan, he immediately felt cordial.

Since King Yan supports the prince, they are his own.

At least until the prince ascended the throne, they were still their own.

“Your Highness’ entrustment is my honor.” Xie Yu cupped his hands and said.

Zhao Xu nodded, and he said: “I heard that the grain of the world is delivered from Xie’s house, so I don’t know if it’s true or not?”

Xie Yu has been in business all year round, so he is naturally not a stupid person.

King Yan mentioned this matter in a re-examination, and he definitely didn’t just ask about Xie’s food.

After all, this is well known in Dasong.

Turning his eyes, he recalled it.

King Yan wanted to benefit from this. After all, joining the battle of princes was extremely risky.

Once the crown prince is defeated and the other princes come to power, King Yan will definitely be suppressed in the future.

So he said: “Your Highness, I’m not bragging, the Xie family can afford this, the two lakes are familiar, the world is full, and the two lakes are under the control of the Xie family.”

“It’s really enviable.” Zhao Xu said.

Then he showed a distressed look, “It’s not like this king, but he has to worry about food all day long.”

“Oh?” Xie Yu thought for a while and asked, “I don’t know what difficulties His Highness encountered, maybe the Xie family can help. ”

It’s not the last Yanzhou riot. Now the people in the four northern counties are displaced and there are a lot of victims. However, the food in the four counties is insufficient and it is difficult to continue. If it continues, people will starve to death.” King Yan sighed road.

Xie Yu understood.

He arrived in Yancheng yesterday.

Because King Yan didn’t come back, he went around and saw many victims at the north gate.

It is estimated that this is what King Yan said.

Thinking of this, he was overjoyed.

It would be best for King Yan to ask the Xie family.

And he knew that Yanzhou’s grain had always been insufficient.

Even when Yuan Li was the governor of the state, he often bought food from the south to supply the army.

Now King Yan is also facing this problem. He thinks he has grasped the shortcoming of King Yan.

If it is used well, King Yan will be firmly trapped on Xie’s warship.

How can he not be happy.

“So it’s this matter, it’s a trivial matter.” Xie Yu said, “I’ll tell you the truth, this time I came to Yancheng to do some business with His Highness, and His Highness must know that this business is artillery.” After a

pause, he said: “Since His Highness is short of food, why not exchange it with artillery.”

Zhao Xu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xindao said that none of these powerful clans is easy to deal with.

He just revealed a little bit of weakness, so Xie Yu was going to sit on the ground and raise his price.

He actually asked him to exchange artillery for food, not to mention that his support for the prince was worth a million shi of food.

“This is a way, the Han family also said so, and Qizhou is a few steps away from Yanzhou, so it will save effort to transport food.” Zhao Xu raised his head slightly and murmured.

When Xie Yu heard this, the smile on his face froze immediately.

At this point his heart almost stopped beating.

He admitted that he had made a mistake and deliberately did not mention the matter of supporting the prince. He even wanted to use food to suppress the price of artillery so that he could go back and claim credit.

But his mind must have been seen through by King Yan.

If the prince loses the support of the King of Yan because of himself, the artillery business will also fail.

He must be beaten to death when he returns.

“Your Highness, how can Han’s food be as good and cheap as Xie’s.” Xie Yu said hastily, “In this way, it would be nice to have a visit to the capital to discuss with the head of the family.”

“That’s fine, by the way, artillery eight One thousand taels, how much silver and how much food to prepare, you can decide for yourself.” Zhao Xu dropped another sentence.

This sentence is already very rude.

“Yes, Your Highness.” Xie Yu groaned secretly, just wanting to give himself a slap in the face.

The king’s good atmosphere was ruined by himself.

Saying goodbye in a hurry, Xie Yu turned and left.

When Xie Yu’s figure disappeared, Zhao Xu sneered.

This Xie Yu didn’t understand a question at all.

Every family of the eight major families has food, but only his family owns artillery, and there is no other semicolon.

It’s not that easy to handle him.

Here, Xie Yu left the palace and set off to return.

Seven days later, he returned to the capital, and truthfully told Queen Xie what Zhao Xu had said.

“You idiot, you almost ruined something important.”

At this time, Empress Xie, Xie Duan, and Zhao Gang were all playing in the Xie Family Garden outside Jinling City.

After listening, Empress Xie raised her hand and was about to slap Xie Yu.

Seeing this, Xie Yu shuddered.   Xie Duan was also slightly angry, he said: ” Get out of here

.” Xie Yu replied yes, and hurriedly retreated.   ”Mother, uncle, with the support of the ninth brother, I am not afraid of the third brother or the second brother.” As soon as Xie Yu left, Zhao Gang danced happily.   Empress Xie and Xie Duan also had smiles on their faces.   During this period of time, they showed kindness to Concubine Mi everywhere, and it was not in vain after all.   These days, the third prince has the support of another Ma family.   All the originally neutral Ma family officials in the court began to speak for the third prince.   But the second prince who they thought was out of favor suddenly had the support of officials from the Wang family and the Liang family, and the situation in the court changed drastically.   Therefore, Dou Weiqi, who thought he was sure of winning, pushed his illness and did not go to court for several days.   The Xie family was even more panic-stricken. Obviously, the Crown Prince was going to choose one of these two.

So now King Yan’s support for the prince is just in time.

They Xie family absolutely want to catch.

“Uncle Guo, King Yan’s request is not too much. Since he supports the crown prince, it’s okay to give him hundreds of thousands of taels of grain. As for artillery, it’s just a business.” Empress Xie was also a little excited.

The chest that had been suppressed stretched out, and the breathing became much smoother.

Xie Duan nodded, “As long as King Yan supports the crown prince, we can talk about anything. I will send another person to Yancheng to have a good talk with King Yan.”

Empress Xie nodded with a smile.
