Turbulent Times Chapter 1017: Zhao Chen who feels good about himself

(Thank you very much for the generosity of 'book friend 26784426' for the five thousand coins and the support of 11 monthly tickets.)

The beauty that Huang Shaoqiu gave to Zhao Chen was indeed ecstasy, but no matter how ecstasy she was, she would get tired of being locked up in her own house in the naval camp and playing with her day and night for half a month.

"If I had known that I would bring a few more beautiful maids from the capital, I could play more tricks and life would not be so hard." Zhao Chen secretly regretted it.

But when he set off from the capital, he was hesitant and satisfied, and he left the beautiful maidservant in Luoyang as a thing of depressed will. At this time, he regretted that he wanted to pick up a few beautiful maidservants, and he was afraid that Yu Wenshu would know about it and leave a bad impression of being playful. .

Huang Shaoqiu came over dressed in military uniform, saw Zhao Chen coming out, stood up and saluted, and said with righteous indignation: "General, those wastes from the shipyard are really **** off..."

"What happened to those trash?" Zhao Chen asked.

"The humble job gathered all the craftsmen in the shipyard, stared at them personally, and asked them to study, but these wastes can't make a sea ship with more than a thousand stones in more than a month!"

When Huang Shaoqiu said these words, he gritted his teeth angrily. Zhao Chen watched from the side and was very moved.

Sighing, Zhao Chen said: "There is no sea-going ship here, even if you have enough troops and money, it is useless! This is indeed a very troublesome matter, Shaoqiu, do you have anything else?" way to solve this problem.”

"General, I have come up with a solution for my humble position, but I have to take some risks. It is up to the general to decide whether to do it or not." Huang Shaoqiu said with a embarrassed face.

Zhao Chen's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask what to do, when a guard came in and reported, "Master Guan, the county magistrate of Rongcheng County, please see me."

"Guan Fengping, this **** has come to see me now." Zhao Chen was puzzled. For the past month, Guan Fengping had avoided him most of the time. Difficult, or let him find Wang Junlin, anyway, he will not cooperate with his recruitment, nor will he be given the land to build a new camp, let alone get a tael of silver from the county.

To be honest, if it were another prefect, with Zhao Chen's background and a general with a large army in his hand, he would have forcibly occupied land to recruit soldiers, and even searched for money from the local government, but when he met Wang Junlin, he was so miserable. It is said that he is the most powerful and fierce person in the world, not to mention him, even Yu Wenshu behind him is extremely afraid.

So, if Wang Junlin doesn't come to trouble him, he's already burning incense, so how dare he take the initiative to provoke Wang Junlin? Even when facing a small county magistrate like Guan Fengping, he feels helpless. The way, behind the county magistrate is Wang Junlin!

Anyway, Guan Fengping took the initiative to come to the door with great difficulty, Zhao Chen could not block him from the door, and did not let Huang Shaoqiu avoid it, so he directly sent someone to invite Guan Fengping in.

"Ah, General Huang is also here with General Zhao Lang." Seeing Huang Shaoqiu here, Guan Fengping was slightly taken aback, greeted him, and continued: "The next official will join Mr. At that time, the general called over and gave some instructions, saying that the navy was going to set aside a piece of land near the ferry in Rongcheng County to build another 10,000 water battalion military stronghold. He also approved."

"Okay! I'll pass on the message to you, Lord Prefect, and I will come to thank you when I turn back." Zhao Chen didn't think of the two things he was worrying about, but Wang Junlin suddenly agreed, and stood up happily and said.

"Don't worry, General Zhao, I will definitely report your words to the prefect." Guan Fengping said neither humble nor overbearing, and then changed the tone: "However, the prefect said that there are a few conditions."

Zhao Chen’s heart tightened. Yes, it’s normal if there are conditions. Without conditions, how could Wang Junlin agree? , but if you want money or something, I don’t have it now.”

Guan Fengping smiled, and said: "Master Taishou has put forward two conditions. One is that he will send someone to help build the military stronghold for the officers and soldiers of the Navy. Your Excellency only needs to pay the silver..."

Zhao Chen frowned, and without waiting for Guan Fengping to talk about the second condition, he interrupted it and said, "How much money do you want, the prefect? ​​The general just said that our navy has no money now."

Guan Fengping said: "The prefect knows that General Zhao is also short of money, and he still owes the county government the 50,000 taels of military pay that the county soldiers originally paid. So the prefect said that General Zhao can make an IOU, but he has to bear the interest."

Zhao Chen frowned slightly, and said, "How much is it worth to build a new navy army camp, and how much interest is needed."

Guan Fengping said with a smile: "The prefect said that only 50,000 taels of silver is enough. If General Zhao can pay it off within a year, there will be no interest. If he doesn't pay it off, it will double in one year." It will become one hundred thousand taels of silver, and it will be repaid within two years, and it will become two hundred thousand taels of silver, and so on, and it will be doubled every year."

"Snap!" Huang Shaoqiu punched the table in front of him fiercely, and cursed: "Your prefect is too bullying!"

Guan Fengping's face darkened, and he shouted: "General Huang's words, I will definitely tell the prefect."

Under Zhao Chen's watchful eyes, Huang Shaoqiu's face changed, his eyes showed fear, and he said to Zhao Chen: "General, you must protect the humble post, otherwise the prefect Wang will definitely retaliate against the humble post."

Zhao Chen is very satisfied with Huang Shaoqiu's reaction, and in his opinion, this is simply Guan Fengping creating an opportunity for him to further subdue Huang Shaoqiu, so he said with great pride: "Don't worry, Shaoqiu, I will fight for this water." Shi Zhonglang will quit, and he will not let Mr. Wang do anything to you."

Huang Shaoqiu's eyes turned red the moment he was moved, and he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I am willing to die for the general."

Zhao Chen hurriedly pulled Huang Shaoqiu up and said, "Shaoqiu doesn't have to be like this, you and I will be one from now on. I will be prosperous, and I will never forget you."

Huang Shaoqiu got up excitedly and stood behind Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen felt very good about himself at this time. A Guoyi captain like Huang Shaoqiu was easily subdued by him. What does this mean? Great Demon King, that's why it's so troublesome to do things in Fanyang County.

But in his opinion, the condition Wang Junlin raised is nothing, because he believes that he will be able to pay off the fifty thousand taels of silver within one year. As for Wang Junlin, he will send people to build a new water tank. Shi Daying's army camp was nothing more than coveting the money, and it was nothing. He thought that if Wang Junlin didn't benefit from this matter, he would feel uneasy in his heart!
