Chapter 217 Jiangzhou
No matter what, the current situation is undoubtedly very favorable for the State of Yan.
The millions of taels that Jiangzuo earned from the State of Chen could be used as military expenses to attack the State of Chen.
Very good, very good...
According to the memorials sent back by Jiangzuo earlier, there is constant internal strife in the State of Chen. With just a little provocation, it will surely cause various rebel armies to revolt.
"Your Majesty, Inspector Jiang did something so reckless without informing Your Majesty. I don't mean to say anything bad about Inspector Jiang, but I'm just worried that he has ulterior motives."
An official dared to speak out.
The right-wing officials who had previously secretly mocked Jiang Zuo are now all dumbfounded.
"In fact, Patrol Envoy Jiang has already reported this to me, but I forgot about it for a moment. My dear ministers, there is no need to question Patrol Envoy Jiang anymore."
Chen Qingyun said lightly.
As long as these officials did not deliberately stir up trouble or use extreme language, the empress would not bother to pay attention to their doubts about Jiangzuo.
Chen Qingyun had no idea about this matter before, and Jiang Zuo never mentioned it in the letter he wrote to Siyue.
Chen Qingyun secretly said in his heart: "This greedy Jiang Zuo, I must find a way to borrow a few hundred million from him..."
"Your Majesty, the situation is serious. If the people of Chen know that Inspector Jiang is the mastermind behind this, how should we explain it to the State of Chen?"
Right Prime Minister Lu Jun pretended to be worried and said at this moment.
Chen Qingyun looked calm: "Explain? What is there to explain? I have already planned to destroy the Chen Kingdom next year."
When they heard this, the ministers were even more surprised.
"I want to appoint Jiangzuo as the Huainan Marching Road, and appoint him as the General of the Southern Expedition, in charge of all matters related to the southern expedition against the State of Chen." Chen Qingyun said majestically, "My dear ministers, do you have any opinions?"
There was silence in the court.
Jiang Zuo has such capabilities, how could they dare to oppose it?
"Your Majesty is wise."
……
Yan State.
Jiangzhou City.
The delegation led by Jiang Zuo has arrived in this small town.
Qin Yu was resting in the carriage, while Jiang Zuo was riding a horse and looking around this strange little town.
"Sir, His Majesty has ordered us to settle down in Jiangzhou City and wait for the next order."
Szeto Wah came forward and said.
"Sir, this is where we are now."
Master Guo also took out a simple map and handed it to Jiang Zuo.
"This is a great place."
Jiang Zuo looked at the map in his hand and thought he had come to the right place again.
"Sir, Jiangzhou City has a population of only 10,000, and it is not a prosperous place. If you want to do business here, I'm afraid it won't be as easy as before. This place is located on the border, the people don't have much money, and there are not many wealthy businessmen here."
Master Guo said.
He had followed Jiang Zuo for many years, so he naturally knew that every time Jiang Zuo went to a new place, the first thing he did was to make money.
But there really isn't much money to be made in this small border town.
"Look at the name, Jiangzhou, Jiangzuo, it's clearly my second hometown."
Jiang Zuo smiled faintly.
Master Guo said, "Sir, you have too many second hometowns."
"Just stay here for a while. I have a new idea."
The reason why Jiang Zuo fell in love with this small town at first sight was naturally not because of its name, but because of its development potential.
More importantly, Jiangzhou City is located on the seaside and has an extremely advantageous geographical location.
However, because it was located on the border, it was often harassed by the Chen army, so this city was not prosperous and was just one of the front-line garrisons of the Yan army.
But Anding County was a small frontier county, and Jiangzuo had the ability to develop it into a prosperous city, so Jiangzhou City was naturally no problem.
"Master Jiang, you have a lot of ideas."
Szeto Wah on the side couldn't help but speak up.
He is usually gloomy and depressed, but recently he has been joking a lot.
The group finally stopped and were accommodated in a mansion.
"This broken place is so small, how can anyone live there? Master, order someone to go look around the city and see if there are any vacant houses for sale."
As soon as he walked into the house, Jiang Zuo said with disdain.
Qin Yu, who was behind him, was looking around curiously.
Jiang Zuo turned to Qin Yu and said, "Miss Qin, please settle down here first. I will arrange other things for you later."
Qin Yu said calmly: "Don't bother too much, I'll just do it for now."
After all, she is still a fugitive, so how could she be picky?
After settling Qin Yu, Jiang Zuo took Master Guo out the door.
After making some contacts, we found that there are indeed quite a few houses for sale in Jiangzhou City.
This small border town has a small population and not many wealthy businessmen.
But the mansion that his men brought Jiang Zuo into at this time was almost as big as Jiang Zuo's mansion in Anding County, but it looked a little old.
"Sir, this is Mr. Wang, he is the owner of this mansion."
Master Guo introduced.
Mr. Wang looked to be about forty years old and had a blessed face.
"Greetings, Lord Jiang. I have heard of your great reputation a long time ago."
Mr. Wang said.
The deeds of Envoy Jiang in the State of Chen had already spread throughout the two countries.
"How much silver is my reputation worth?"
Jiang Zuo asked.
"Uh..." Upon hearing this question, Wang Yuanwai was stunned. He thought for a moment before answering, "Your Excellency's reputation is naturally a priceless treasure."
"That's not worth a penny."
Jiang Zuo said calmly, turning his head to observe everything in the mansion.
Mr. Wang was speechless for a moment and followed Jiang Zuo awkwardly.
"How much do you want to sell this mansion for?"
Jiang Zuo asked.
He was quite interested in this spacious mansion.
This time we came to Jiangzhou City, we want to use it as the base camp for the attack on the State of Chen, and we will probably have to live here for a while.
"Sir, it's not expensive, just eight hundred taels. I like this house very much, but I have to sell it because I am planning to move away from Jiangzhou."
Mr. Wang said.
"Eight hundred taels isn't expensive?"
Jiang Zuo looked unwilling.
He now has millions of dollars in his hands, but he still saves wherever he can and will never suffer any loss.
Wang Yuanwai said quickly, "Not expensive, not expensive. I spent a thousand taels to build this mansion. It also includes a lot of garden landscapes and furniture decorations. I can't take all of them with me. If you are interested in buying them, I will give them all to you."
Jiang Zuo did not answer, but walked slowly into the courtyard. He saw that the flowers and plants in the garden were almost withered. They must have not been taken care of for many years.
After a while, Jiang Zuo said, "I am interested in buying this place. How about this, I can offer a slightly lower price, four hundred taels?"
This Inspector Jiang is too harsh in bargaining. No one would just come up and cut the price in half.
"Sir, four hundred taels is really not enough." Wang Yuanwai looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth, and said in a very difficult manner: "How about seven hundred taels?"
Jiang Zuo quickly shook his head: "Five hundred taels at most, it's better not to sell it."
As he said this, he was about to turn around and leave.
"Wait, Lord Jiang, we can still discuss this..."
Mr. Wang quickly reached out to stop him.
