Fu Chengwang thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Lin, do you have anything else to say?"
Yun Zhiyi said, "No more. Oh, by the way, my husband is in urgent need of manpower. It would be great if you could send him a few suitable people."
Fu Chengwang nodded.
Although Zhao Lin had the final say in Qingzhou and made those old officials afraid to move, his time was still short and he had not cultivated any confidants of his own.
The main problem is lack of time.
Fu Wenqi suddenly said, "Why don't I go?"
Yun Zhiyi looked at Fu Wenqi in shock.
If he stayed in the capital, he would have a bright future and at least become a minister or something.
What can I give to Zhao Lin if I go to him?
Fu Chengwang was also puzzled.
Fu Wenqi smiled and said, "I'm just helping him temporarily for a while. I'll come back after he's cultivated some confidants."
Fu Chengwang nodded. "It's already a stretch for him to control Qingzhou, and it's even harder to be the governor without his own people. Go ahead, and bring Yun Heng and Yun Chuan with you. I'll talk to Tian Ming in person. Our own people are always more reliable than outsiders."
Yun Zhiyi was overjoyed and said quickly, "Thank you very much, uncle. Oh, and there's one more thing. My husband said he's been too busy lately to come back to Beijing to propose marriage. He'll come and apologize when he has time."
Fu Chengwang waved his hand: "These are all trivial matters. Did you know that His Majesty has appointed Zhao Lin as governor?"
Yun Zhiyi said, "Yeah."
Fu Chengwang said, "Your Majesty has shown such great love for us. We should be loyal to the king and serve our country without any second thoughts."
Yun Zhiyi quickly said, "My husband understands. He has not only sent people everywhere to supervise the Green Seed Loan, but also organized the Qingzhou Army to reclaim wasteland. It will be the perfect time for the autumn harvest when Your Majesty celebrates his birthday, and it will be a perfect gift."
Fu Chengwang stroked his beard and laughed, "He's really thoughtful. How much has he reclaimed?"
"One million acres."
"It's quite a bit. His Majesty will surely be pleased to know...how much?"
Fu Chengwang almost pulled his beard off.
"Are you sure? It's actually 10,000 acres?" Fu Wenqi looked at Yun Zhiyi in shock.
Yun Zhiyi knew that this matter could not be concealed, nor was there any need to hide it, so she said, "It is indeed one million acres. My husband has planted all of it with rice. By the autumn harvest, it will produce about 400 million kilograms of grain. Even if Qingzhou is hit by another flood, we will not be afraid."
Fu Chengwang and Fu Wenqi looked at each other.
It was no secret that Zhao Lin asked the Qingzhou army to reclaim wasteland, and many people knew about it.
At the court meeting today, someone used this to criticize Zhao Lin.
I just didn’t expect that so many fields could be reclaimed.
Does this mean that all the wasteland in Qingzhou has been reclaimed?
We have soldiers and food...
Fu Chengwang was also panicked at this moment.
What if Zhao Lin has any ideas...
He was not afraid that Zhao Lin would be able to break into Shengjing Prefecture, but he was afraid that Zhao Lin would be unable to resist and would want to kill with a sharp weapon. He was afraid that Zhao Lin would want to cause trouble, which would harm himself and others and ruin his bright future.
"Zhao Lin said to present these grains as a gift to His Majesty?" Fu Wenqi asked promptly.
Yun Zhiyi said, "All under heaven belongs to the king. These are your Majesty's, so naturally we must present them to you and await your arrangements."
Fu Chengwang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's excellent. Go to Qingzhou and warn Zhao Lin that we, the people who have received the Emperor's grace, must not listen to others' instigation and make irreparable mistakes."
Yun Zhiyi said, "Uncle is right. My husband has always been grateful to His Majesty. It is His Majesty who has given him everything he has today, and he will never let His Majesty down. But if His Majesty passes away, who will your uncle support to ascend the throne?"
Fu Chengwang said unhappily, "This is not a question you should ask."
Yun Zhiyi said calmly, "Zhiyi is also worried about my husband. Uncle, you don't know that the Zhenbei Marquisate has a serious misunderstanding of my husband, and the Crown Prince Zhao Chenhan has repeatedly targeted my husband. If Prince Yu ascends to the throne, the Zhenbei Marquisate will undoubtedly retaliate against my husband. How will we cope then?"
Fu Chengwang said, "The Marquis of Zhenbei is a reasonable man, not a petty person. I'll talk to him later."
"I'm afraid it's difficult," Yun Zhiyi said. "The Zhenbei Marquis's Fu Fu favors Zhao Chenhan more than his own son, and his five daughters all treat him as their own brother. Once Prince Yu ascends to the throne, the first person they'll have to deal with will definitely be their husband, and even the Crown Prince will have to take a back seat."
Fu Chengwang frowned slightly.
Fu Wenqi said, "Zhao Lin and Zhao Chenhan are just a quarrel of young people, it won't be like this."
Yun Zhiyi shook her head and said, "Brother Wenqi doesn't know. My husband... never mind. I'll let my husband tell you personally."
Zhao Lin hated the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and had always hidden his relationship with it. Only three people close to him knew about it.
Fu Liqing, Yun Zhiyi, and Su Di.
So Yun Zhiyi would not reveal his family background without permission.
Yun Zhiyi said, "Anyway, the feud between my husband and Zhao Chenhan is endless. No one can stop it, not even the Marquis of Zhenbei himself. This is one of the reasons why my husband turned to the Crown Prince. Uncle, Brother Wenqi, please make preparations early."
Fu Chengwang frowned.
He originally saw that Zhao Chenhan was determined to compete with Zhao Lin, and thought that Zhao Chenhan was unwilling to accept Zhao Lin's dominance over him. This was a good thing for the court, so he didn't care.
But now it seems that there is something else going on.
The fact that Yun Zhiyi said such words that he would fight to the death must mean that there must be something important behind it that they don’t know about.
Fu Chengwang said solemnly: "I understand."
Yun Zhiyi stood up and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, uncle and brother Wenqi. I'll take my leave."
As soon as Yun Zhiyi left, Fu Wenqi said to Fu Chengwang, "I'll go see Zhao Lin and ask him in person what happened to cause such deep hatred between him and Zhao Chenhan."
Fu Chengwang nodded and said, "Bring more people with you. The governor is different from the prefect, so he needs more manpower."
…
Spring Pavilion.
The place where Yun Zhiyi once stayed.
At this time, in a room, Jiang Yichen, Han Renjie and other young men who followed Zhao Chenhan to quell the rebellion gathered here, each hugging a prostitute and drinking happily.
"Why hasn't Bai Shicheng come yet?" Han Renjie asked dissatisfiedly.
They fought together to suppress the rebellion, so they were considered comrades-in-arms and often got together.
On the contrary, Zhao Chenhan has never participated in it for various reasons.
They also subconsciously did not invite Zhao Chenhan.
"Maybe he was delayed because of something." Jiang Yichen said drunkenly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.
Bai Shicheng walked in with a serious expression.
"Brother Bai, you are late. You have to drink three cups of wine as punishment." A young man said with a smile.
Bai Shicheng didn't respond, but said, "I just heard a piece of news."
"What news?"
Seeing Bai Shicheng so solemn, everyone stopped smiling and looked at him.
"News about Zhao Lin." Bai Shicheng said.
"Oh, didn't they say that we were going to impeach him and divide his horses today?" Han Renjie said casually.
This is no secret.
There are no secrets in officialdom.
Bai Shicheng said: "Indeed, but that's not what I want to say."
"What happened to him? Can you please stop keeping us in suspense?" Jiang Yichen said impatiently.
Bai Shicheng said: "Zhao Lin...has been promoted to Governor of Jiujiang!"
What?
All the young masters looked horrified.
