Everyone was excited. Huang An was here to negotiate and ask Zhang Jiuling to release the captives.
Zhang Jiuling told Huang An that the 3,000 soldiers of Lu Zhou's mountain villagers were on his side.
Moreover, Li Yi was very concerned about repairing the roads. Repair the roads, don't take things you shouldn't take. For example, that person.
Also, I can't even bear to throw away the vegetables I removed for my family. I'm that poor.
The sun will rise sooner or later. There are some things you can't hide from us. '
As a provincial governor, Huang An understood this. He looked at Qin Shui again. His attitude changed. He smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Little Miss Qin."
"Nice to meet you, provincial governor. You're a high-ranking official. I think Provincial Governor Huang is better than my Provincial Governor Pang Renqing.
Pang Renqing dared to lie to us and demand tribute from us. He didn't even tell us about Li Dongzhu's new tool.
If Li Dongzhu didn't plead for mercy and said he'd teach him a lesson, we would've kept him here. "
Qin Shui did not even look at Huang An. She raised her bowl of wine and took a sip as she spoke. There was no more food.
Huang An's expression changed slightly. However, he quickly regained his composure and maintained his smile.
He was angry and afraid at the same time. A little girl dared to threaten him. Most importantly, this threat was indeed powerful.
She was not alone. She represented the Tan Family's stronghold. The Tan Family's stronghold was quite influential in the area.
Pang Renqing, you're a fool. Why did you offend the Tan Family's stronghold?
Was Song Jing powerful? The current Grand Chancellor had asked him if he dared to do so.
If the officials forced the people to rebel and the mountain villagers were massacred by the Provincial Governor's Mansion, the imperial court would only send an army over.
If the mountain villagers did not destroy the city and kill the civilians, they would be pardoned.
If they killed the civilians and destroyed the city, only the main culprit would be punished.
If it were the Tan Family's stronghold, the imperial court would not be willing to do anything. There were too many people.
The Tan Family's stronghold had more than 10,000 capable men. They could contact other strongholds and gather 30,000 men.
By capable men, it meant they could fight.
Unless they rebelled, no one would be willing to lead an army to fight with thirty thousand aboriginals in the mountains.
Huang An could feel the little girl's arrogance toward him. 'Endure!'
The cold plates were served. There were steamed chicken, water chestnut pudding, fish, and braised pork trotters.
These dishes should have been eaten in the morning. Now, he took out some of them.
It was already past midnight and the sun was rising early. After eating for a while, the sun would rise above the sea.
The black fish could not be served in a short period of time, at least forty-five minutes.
Wei Yuefeng came back, but he couldn't sleep either.
He noticed Huang An's astonishment, but soon after, he thought of something and understood.
Looking at the pretty girl again, she was still there.
"You don't have anywhere to sleep at night, do you? Where are your family members? "
Wei Yuefeng was just purely concerned. He had a wife, so he didn't have any other thoughts.
"Ah Da and Elder Brother are at home. The other relatives are outside, waiting to be arranged."
Qin Shui took the initiative to pour wine for Wei Yuefeng. He had used Wei Yuefeng's wine bowl earlier.
Wei Yuefeng nodded his head in gratitude. "Why don't you put your men over at my side? I have a place there."
"I can't. I brought three thousand men with me." Qin Shui was grateful, but he refused.
"What?" Wei Yuefeng didn't hear clearly.
"She's the little princess of the Tan Family's stronghold, Tan Shui," Zhang Jiuling said bluntly. He should not have addressed her as a princess.
However, Wei Yuefeng felt that it was more appropriate to address her as a princess. He had heard that Lu Zhou's greatest force was the Tan Family's stronghold.
Compared to the Tan Family, the Yan Family in Driving Yuan County was nothing.
The Yan Family could only bully the common folk with their positions and manpower. However, the Tan Family was not a bully; they were an army.
They claimed to be plundering water for farming, but the Yan Family had sent hundreds of men to intimidate the other villages.
If they were facing the Tan Family, would the Yan Family fight? Can't we sit down and talk things out?
Look at how many people there are in my stronghold, and we need water for farming. Can't you give in?
We've brought wild game here, and we can eat and drink together. Aren't we happy? There's no need to fight, right?
The Yan Family was right. They were grateful for the Tan Family's hospitality.
"Duke Zhang, I've mobilized more than 40,000 men to mine coal, and nearly 70,000 men to repair the roads.
I reckon the coal will be ready by next month. When the time comes, we'll make cement. Do you want it? I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price or sell you coal.
We know how to make coal, and it's easy to burn. Li Dongzhu even taught us how to wash coal. When the time comes, we'll pick out the waste and cook it ourselves. "
Tan Shui did not have the time to entertain the Provincial Governor. She was the one who requested to lead the team. If she could not complete her task well, how could she leave in the future?
Zhang Jiuling pondered for a moment. "Coal … When the coal is delivered, we have the raw materials to make cement as well. We'll pay the workers when they're working.
I plan to bring the mountain people with me. The mountain people aren't difficult to interact with. They hope that a good official from the imperial court will lead them to a good life. Alas … "
Zhang Jiuling shook his head as he spoke. He did not look at Huang An.
When Wei Yuefeng saw this, he wanted to laugh. 'To think that a Provincial Governor like you would have such a day.
When I was deceived and came looking for you, you didn't even want to meet me.
Later, when I returned from Chang 'an with the things Li Dongzhu gave me, you wanted me to share some with you.'
"The braised pig trotters taste good. I learned it from the Li Family Zhuangzi." Huang An could bear it and laughed as he spoke about the pig trotters.
He could not afford to offend any of the three people sitting here. Wei Yuefeng, who seemed to be the easiest to provoke, was actually selling things for Li Yi.
Who would dare to touch Tan Shui? Was he tired of living?
Zhang Jiuling, who was sitting in front of him, resigned in anger. Li Yi gave him money, and the Emperor gave him money. After the road was repaired, he turned around and became the city's ambassador.
Huang An did not become an idiot because the Guangzhou Department of Shipping made so much money.
He was afraid of Li Yi. How powerful Li Yi was? How could he not know by looking at the exchange coupons issued by the Li Family Zhuangzi?
From Chang 'an to Guangzhou, merchants recognized that as long as you had the exchange coupons, the merchants would sell you things and even give you discounts.
A person who could issue currency and still live a comfortable life had already explained many things.
In particular, this person's Zhuangzi was close to Chang 'an. No one wanted to deal with him?
"The people from the Yan family are with me. Take them away later. They promised me to pay for the road from Yunyuan County to Nanhai County."
Zhang Jiuling was very direct. He really could not judge those people. He was not qualified.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Huang An clasped his hands. No matter how he would deal with their mutual concern in the future, at least he gave him face today.
Look, they were caught. He came over and brought them back at dawn.
Those who did not know the specific situation would think that he was very capable.
The people caught by the Winged Knights, he …
"Mr. Zhang, no, I can't take them away. After I finish my meal, you can release them. I will arrange for people to wait outside."
Huang An was sweating. He almost did something wrong.
The people caught by the Winged Knights, he went there and released them. He wanted to suppress the Winged Knights?
Zhang Jiuling, you are too bad. You dug a hole for me.
"Oh, I didn't think it through. I should have released them alone." Zhang Jiuling patted his head to express his apology.
"It's okay. It's too late. Mr. Zhang has been working hard for days. It's all their fault for disturbing you.
I was just greedy. I saw good black fish and thought that Mr. Zhang had good seasoning. "
Huang An helped to find an excuse. Yes, you did not cheat me. You are right.
