Father-in-law Xu Da Arrives in Qiongzhou!
Jingzhou Prefecture Magistrate Yuan Chongli clearly saw the disappointment in Zhu Bai's eyes.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Chongli felt extremely upset.
At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Yuan Chongli's mind. His face was filled with joy at first, but it quickly turned serious again.
"What does your highness want so much money for?”
"Could it be that something big has happened?" Yuan Chongli asked tentatively.”
Faced with Yuan Chongli's inquiry, Zhu Bai couldn't just tell him that he wanted to buy a solar power plant, right?
Even if he said that, he would only be treated as a lunatic.
Because there were too many things that had already surpassed the understanding of this era.
Zhu Bai still used the excuse he had used in the capital," Benwang needs this money to build the Imperial Residence.”
When Yuan Chongli heard this, he nodded thoughtfully.
Then, he pondered for a while.
After a long time, he slowly opened the pocket of his clothes that had already been sewn with a needle and thread. He carefully took out the two hundred thousand silver banknote and handed it to Zhu Bai.
"Wangye, this is from the emperor.”
Zhu Bai's eyes lit up when he saw the banknote, and he took it.
"Hmm?"
"The Emperor means that this money will be used to build Qiongzhou." Yuan Chongli continued to explain.”
"Since your highness is short of money to build the wang fu, then this money should be given to your highness.”
"Building a mansion is also considered building Qiongzhou.”
After hearing Yuan Chongli's words, Zhu Bai nodded his head in agreement." Lord Yuan is right!”
Zhu Bai took the silver notes and directly put them into his pocket.
The magistrate of Qiongzhou, Yuan Chongli, looked at the situation in front of him and felt like he had been cheated.
After all, 200,000 taels of silver was not a small amount. What if…
Thinking of this, Yuan Chongli revealed a difficult expression. He looked at Zhu Bai and begged,"Wangye, see if you can write a memorial to Nanjing so that they know the use of this money.”
"Alright, alright!"
Holding two hundred thousand taels of silver in his hand, Zhu Bai's heart also became much more lively.
The remaining 200,000 taels could be borrowed from the government office in Guangzhou. Even if they could not gather the money, it would not be too much of a difference.
As Zhu Bai spoke, he casually took off the royal seal from his waist and strode towards the official table, casually pulling out a blank piece of official paper.
He stamped his seal heavily on the lower right corner of it.
"This King has already stamped it."
As Zhu Bai spoke, he handed the official document with only the seal to Yuan Chongli and continued,"You know how to write documents."
Yuan Chongli, the magistrate of Qiongzhou, took the document and nodded." I understand."”
With Zhu Bai's seal, he would be able to account for the two hundred thousand taels.
It was getting late. Zhu Bai bade farewell to Yuan Chongli and walked towards his own bedroom.
Yuan Chongli, who was left in the lobby, quickly wrote down the reason for the matter. Finally, he stamped the seal of the Qiongzhou Prefecture's magistrate and sent someone to send it to Nanjing.
······
Speaking of Zhu Bai's father-in-law, Xu Da…
Under Xu Da's instructions, the two sons exchanged all the title deeds of their hometown.
A total of 220,000 taels of silver was taken back.
Carrying these silver notes, Xu Da sped his horse and headed straight for Qiongzhou.
Because he was accompanied by his fourth son, Xu Zengshou, he did not bring any other servants.
The father and son were good at riding, so the days spent on the road were naturally greatly reduced.
This afternoon.
When Zhu Bai was still borrowing money from the officials of Qiongzhou, the new King of Qiongzhou.
His father-in-law, Xu Da, had already brought his brother-in-law, Xu Zengshou, to Qiongzhou Island.
Because he missed his daughter so much, Xu Da did not wait for the announcement. He brought his fourth son, Xu Zengshou, and asked for directions to Xu Miaojin's temporary residence.
As a result, even Qiongzhou's prefect, Yuan Chongli, did not receive any news of General Xu Da's visit to Qiongzhou.
Xu Miaojin was still reading the geographical map of Qiongzhou in her room.
Because Zhu Bai had told her that he wanted to develop a port in Qiongzhou, and he had briefly explained his plans to Xu Miaojin.
Xu Miaojin did not doubt Zhu Bai's strength at all, but she felt that Zhu Bai was too impatient. In a year's time, his wealth was comparable to a country's…
This was more or less unrealistic.
But even so, Xu Miaojin still performed her duties as a future princess consort very well.
She wanted to do her best to share her husband's worries.
Just as Xu Miaojin was focused on reading the map, there was a soft knock on the door.
Someone outside the door reported,"
"Reporting to wangfei, your father requests an audience!"
Xu Miaojin thought she had heard it wrongly before she could react.
but in the next second
The door was slowly pushed open.
That familiar and tall figure appeared before Xu Miaojin.
"Father…"
Xu Miaojin cried out involuntarily, tears quickly falling from the corners of her eyes.
General Xu Da, who was standing at the door, also walked into the room with red eyes and pursed lips.
"Father's good daughter, let Father see if you've suffered?”
The one who followed Xu Da in was his fourth son, Xu Zengshou.
At this moment, he stood at the side and shouted,"Sis ~"
Xu Miaojin quickly got up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She was about to serve tea to the father and son.
The father and daughter exchanged a simple greeting.
Only now did Xu Da understand how Zhu Bai had led three thousand imperial guards south.
"Father, we took away the imperial guards. His Majesty didn't make things difficult for you, right?”
When the two of them talked about this topic, Xu Miaojin felt nervous again.
Xu Da deliberately put on a straight face and said,"You still know how to consider Father?"”
" Fortunately, this army is in my son-in-law's hands. If it was transferred away by others…"
"What will happen?"
"Humph!"
Xu Da said angrily,"Then the higher-ups will punish me for dereliction of duty!"”
Hearing this, Xu Miaojin lowered her head and whispered,"" I'm sorry, Dad…"
Seeing his daughter like this, Xu Da, who originally wanted to throw a tantrum with a fierce face, softened his heart again and comforted her,"It's fine, it's fine!"
"As long as my daughter is happy, I'm willing to throw my father into prison!”
Xu Da grinned as he spoke.
Then he asked with concern,"Zhu Bai, that stinky brat, didn't make you suffer, right?"”
Xu Miaojin wiped her tears with a smile and shook her head vigorously." No father. Brother Bo treats his daughter very well.”
"Yes!"
Xu Da nodded." That's good. I, Xu Da, did not misjudge you. Zhu Bai is a good son-in-law!”
Xu Zengshou, the fourth son, who was standing at the side, also interjected,"Sister, I told you long ago that marrying Brother Bo is a sure win.”
Xu Zengshou's words made the two of them laugh.
then
Xu Da's smile disappeared, and his tone slowly became serious."Daughter, you…"
However, Xu Da was too embarrassed to continue asking.
Xu Miaojin's face was red. She clearly understood what her father meant.
Seeing his daughter lower her head, Xu Da sighed." You and Bai 'er aren't young anymore. It's time to get married. Besides, the two of you are already engaged. It's not a good idea to keep delaying it.”
Xu Miaojin pursed her red lips and nodded without saying anything.
