Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 282 Departure
in the afternoon.

Zhu Xiuyuan was still answering Li Jiye's questions, but the messenger still hadn't arrived before dinner started.

Zhu Xiuyuan thought to himself that he probably wouldn't arrive today and could only look forward to tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

However, accidents often come so suddenly.

Be it a bad accident or a good accident.

It always breaks out inadvertently, hitting you and catching you off guard.

It was about eight o'clock in the evening at night.

Zhu Xiuyuan was chatting with Li Jiye in a pavilion in the Dong Mansion, talking about the past and present, and the world.

Although Li Jiye was King Qian of the Liang Kingdom, he had extraordinary experience and profound knowledge since he was a child.

However, in front of Zhu Xiuyuan, his knowledge and knowledge were a little bit crude. Zhu Xiuyuan's knowledge was several times greater than his, which was incomparable.

This is what Li Jiye thinks is the most "charming" thing about Zhu Xiuyuan. He is so obsessed with it that he wishes he could just keep chatting like this...

Not far from the pavilion, three girls, Li Qingnu, Dong Shuzhen and Dong Shuyu, were laughing and laughing.

They are playing shuttlecock.

There were cheers and cheers, and there were constant shouts of exclamation.

It was a pleasant night, so pleasant that Zhu Xiuyuan almost forgot about the agreement.

The sudden accident happened quietly at this moment.

I saw a young man from the Dong Mansion running over and yelling: "Uncle, uncle, it's here, it's here, Liang Guolai's post has arrived..."

The front hall of Dong Mansion.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng, Li Jiye, and of course little Eunuch Li, four people gathered here.

Because Liu Wencai did not live in Dong's residence, it was already dark and he had already returned to Xunyang Tower, so he never came.

Cui Chengxiu didn't come either, because it was dark and there was no time to invite him.

The Liang Guo postman handed Emperor Liang's reply directly to Li Jiye. In full view of everyone, he carefully opened the envelope.

Then he took out a page of folded paper and started reading it with the help of bright candlelight.

After all, this letter was written by Emperor Liang to Li Jiye. At the most minor level, it was a matter between father and son.

Therefore it is inconvenient for people to spy.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng, Little Eunuch Li and others all retreated three steps away.

He just stared at Li Jiye with a pair of eyes, hoping to see some clues from his face.

But Li Jiye is sometimes too deep in the city, his face is indifferent, and there is no ripple in the ancient well.

Everyone was stunned but could not see any clues and could only wait anxiously.

After a long time.

Li Jiye finally moved. He had finished reading the letter, raised his head slightly, and slowly lowered the hand holding the letter.

"Brother Li, what's the situation? Does His Majesty Liang Guo agree?"

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but step forward and asked eagerly.

Li Jiye's ancient well is calm, and he can't find any clues. He is really anxious.

"Brother Zhu, you can read it yourself." Li Jiye showed no expression on his face and handed the letter to Zhu Xiuyuan with both hands.

Zhu Xiuyuan frowned for a moment, took the letter with both hands, and couldn't wait to read it.

Zhu Xiuyuan's city is not as deep as Li Jiye's, especially at this time, he is happy when he should be happy, sad when he should be sad, never deliberately.

After a while, Zhu Xiuyuan's expression changed!The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his expression relaxed.

"It's done!" Dong Cheng secretly thought in his heart.

After a while, Zhu Xiuyuan put down the letter and finished reading it.

"Xian son-in-law, what's the result?" Dong Cheng took a step forward.

Little Eunuch Li, holding a fly whisk in his hand, also took a step forward and stood side by side with Dong Cheng, his eyes piercing.

For him, if things succeed, he will become famous, if not, he may be useless in this life.

"It's done! His Majesty Liang Guo agreed and agreed to exchange [-]% of the tribute for the plague prescription!" Zhu Xiuyuan smiled. Excited, he moved forward with the hand holding the letter, ready to hand it to Dong Cheng.

Dong Cheng hurriedly took it with both hands and couldn't wait to read through it. Little Eunuch Li's face was already smiling, and he leaned over to watch from the sidelines.

"Okay, okay!" Dong Cheng looked at it and was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth.

……

Now that Emperor Liang has agreed, the next thing will be easier to handle.

Dong Cheng personally arranged for all ships carrying [-]% of the tributes to be transferred to Jiangzhou Pier, where they were inventoried one by one, sealed and stamped.

Then, under the supervision of Eunuch Li, [-]% of the [-]% tribute was taken out and left at Jiangzhou Wharf.

This is exactly what was extra stated in the agreement: leaving [-]% of the tribute in Jiangzhou for post-disaster reconstruction.

This [-]% tribute includes more than [-] shi of grain, some copper and iron raw materials, and some cloth.

The bulk of it is the more than [-] shi of grain.

After the last series of natural disasters that broke out in Jiangzhou, Dong Cheng and Zhu Xiuyuan were already short of food and fear.

So they chose these 20 shi of grain.

As for raw materials such as copper and iron, there are not many, so it is just a supplement.

The ship carrying the remaining [-]% ​​of the tributes turned around and hung up its sails.

Go down the Yangtze River and return to the capital.

After everything was settled, Zhu Xiuyuan immediately wrote out all the plague prescriptions one by one, compiled them into a book, and handed them to Li Jiye personally.

At this point, the "wealth and goods" are all settled!

……

Li Jiye had gotten what he wanted, so he immediately decided to set off tomorrow to return to Liang Kingdom.

So this night was the last night that Li Jiye and his sister stayed in the Dong Mansion.

Everyone unanimously decided to hold another "fellow disciple" tea party on the last night.

He also invited the old beggar, prepared cakes, tea and wine, and everyone drank and chatted until late at night before leaving...

The next day.

Early in the morning.

It was just dawn and everyone in the Dong Mansion had already gotten up.

After breakfast, Li Jiye and Li Qingnu went to say goodbye to the old beggar. They were about to set off as the sun rose.

Zhu Xiuyuan, Dong Cheng, Dong Shuzhen, Dong Shuyu, and of course Liu Wencai, Little Eunuch Li, etc., were all sent to Jiangzhou Pier.

The big ship that set off back to Liang State had already been prepared and docked at Jiangzhou Pier. Li Jiye and Li Qingnu only needed to board the ship and set off.
