The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 679

[Chapter 679 A Map]

Jinzhou Prefecture.

This is a small town located on the East Road of Zhongyuan. It has a small population and most of them are fishermen.

Of course, they are usually small boats to catch some small fish and shrimps on the coast.

There is a real port, but it is controlled by the imperial court and only large ships of the navy can dock.

As usual, the small town of Jinzhou Prefecture ushered in a new day.

Many fishermen discovered something. I don’t know why, but there were many more outsiders here.

This can be regarded as a strange thing. After all, this place is relatively remote. It is already very magical to have one or two foreigners visiting occasionally.

It was the first time in my memory to see hundreds of foreigners like this.

Of course, it’s not like it’s never happened before.

I remember that an emperor once visited here privately incognito. After that, many people came here.

I wonder if another emperor paid a private visit here incognito?

The people were curious and guessing.

The foreigners ignored them and went straight into the city.

The British Duke is one of these foreigners.

He rode a horse and walked into the city, feeling that everything was very new.

After all, I have always lived inland and rarely come to the seaside when marching or fighting. This is the first time in my memory.

I can’t help but feel that everything around me is very novel.

“Is it always such a strong wind in Jinzhou Prefecture?”

The British Duke felt the strong wind, looked at the steward beside him, and asked.

The steward hurriedly replied: “As far as I’m concerned, sir, the coast of Jinzhou Prefecture has such strong winds all year round, and occasionally there are calm times.” When the

British prince heard this, he frowned and said coldly. He said: “Even so, why build a port here? After the ship is built, won’t it be destroyed by wind and waves?”

The person in charge was found from Jinzhou Prefecture, so he was relatively familiar with these local things.

After thinking for a while, he replied: “My lord, the imperial court has no choice but to build a port here. After all, there is only such a piece of coast in the north of the kingdom.

And although the wind and waves are a bit bigger, the other conditions for building a port are It’s okay.

The imperial court built the port here just to give the navy a place to dock. The real port is still on the southeast road.”

After hearing this, the British Duke finally understood what was going on and said calmly: “Do you mean that after the ships are built here, they will pass through this port and be transported to the southeast port?”

The steward bowed hurriedly and responded: “That’s what I mean.”

The British public pendulum He waved his hands and said, “I understand, let’s go!”

The group of people arrived in the city.

Once inside the city, it is much better than outside the city.

At least, the wind is not that biting.

“My lord, your mansion is just ahead.”

The man in charge led the way.

While leading the way, he introduced: “This mansion is one of the few good houses in Jinzhou Prefecture. It originally belonged to the Marquis of Xin’an. I spent three thousand taels of silver to buy it.”

“Three thousand taels of silver?” “

When the British Duke heard this, he was very angry again.

Fang Xiu simply

thinks about money all the time.

Such a small mansion actually needs three thousand taels?

It was worth so much silver in the capital, but it was probably not worth a thousand taels here!

Just by reselling it, I made two thousand taels, which is really bad!

The person in charge was still making introductions.

The British father could not stand hearing it.

He immediately got off his horse and walked into the mansion.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

“Isn’t this a British gentleman? What a coincidence.”

The voice was very familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere.

The British duke turned around and saw a familiar face.

“The surname is Xu?”

“It’s me, it’s me.”

With a smile on his face, Duke Dingguo walked up to Duke Ying, looked him up and down, and said jokingly: “A few days ago, I was I heard the people in your house say

that this golden land is bullshit! Even if my father-in-law is crazy, he won’t believe it!

It’s only been a few days, you old guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Is your brain wet?”

When the British Duke heard this, he became angry and said, “Aren’t you the same?

It’s inappropriate for a good prince to come here to suffer. What are you thinking?

” The Duke smiled and said nonchalantly: “Whatever you think about, I think about. It’s such a simple thing.”

The two princes had never been against each other since they were young. When they grew up, they also led their own armies.

To be precise, the three princes are three factions, and different nobles follow different princes.

Presenting a three-legged situation.

It is precisely because of this that after the Wei Guogong incident ended.

Only the civil and military officials in the court would agree to designate Fang Xiu and his son as Marquis of Linze and Marquis of Xin’an.

I just want them to take the place of Wei Guogong.

Since they are three pillars, the relationship between them will naturally not be much better.

When the British Duke heard this, he snorted coldly, didn’t bother to pay attention to him, and was about to walk into the mansion.

When Duke Ding saw this, he followed him shamelessly.

“You old guy, don’t you have a mansion?”

The British duke turned around, waited for Duke Ding, and cursed angrily.

Duke Dingguo grinned and smiled indifferently.

“Why are you so angry? Being a stranger in a foreign land, two old friends meeting and not allowed to have a drink?”

“You old guy can read poetry?”

The British father raised his eyebrows.

Duke Dingguo smiled and said, “I’m not saying that your temper should change after all these years. Look at me, it’s only been a year and your temper is much better than yours.” The

British Duke didn’t He said angrily: “You were treated by Fang Xiu!”

“”

When Duke Ding heard this, he wanted to curse.

After a while, he still endured it and said, “I won’t argue with you anymore. Come in and sit down. I have something serious to discuss with you.”

“What serious matter?”

The British Duke looked at him and asked.

In his eyes, Duke Ding would not have anything serious to do.

Duke Dingguo’s expression rarely became serious, and he said: “Of course it’s about the Golden Land!”

Seeing Duke Dingguo’s serious expression, the British Duke did not speak sarcastically anymore, but sat down.

“If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, hurry up!”

When the British Duke saw Duke Dingguo, he remembered what he had said before, and felt awkward for a while, and he couldn’t help but want to curse.

Duke Dingguo didn’t care. He took out a piece of parchment from his arms and spread it flat on the table.

“What do you think this is?”

After hearing Duke Dingguo’s words, the British Duke hurriedly stood up and carefully looked at the contents on the parchment.

It’s clearly a map!

The most important thing is.

The huge Chu State only occupies a small part of the map. So

this map actually records places other than Chu State! ?
