Chapter 1360 Worthy of the People's Trust

The prince knew that Minister Zhou had been guiding him, guiding his curiosity, and guiding him on how to explore. Although he did not teach him how to use power to balance forces, he allowed him to discover more infinite possibilities.

As he grew older, he also understood why his father wanted him to learn from Shangshu Zhou. An emperor must have sufficient vision. It is not advisable to work in isolation. Short-sightedness will lead to self-destruction!

Qizhou, Dong Chuchu holds the letter, "It's from the Zhao family."

Chang Lian held up his cloak and said, "No."

The weather this year is really cold. Even with a charcoal brazier lit, the house is still gloomy and cold. Chang Lian still can't get used to it in Qizhou.

Dong Chuchu didn't want to go either. She had a falling out with the Zhao family. "What do you mean by the Zhao family?"

Zhao Ji has had a hard time in the past two years. Because of the high-profile presence of the forces behind him, Zhao Ji naturally attracted attention from all sides. However, too much attention means that behind the glory lies a crisis.

If Zhao Ji had not joined a powerful force, he would have been forced to leave Qizhou long ago.

Chang Lian rubbed his hands, "He came to Qizhou with the intention of reconciling with me. Ha, if he hadn't mentioned my father, I wouldn't have torn my relationship with him completely. Originally, he still had some value to me. Now, I'll just have to get out of here as far as possible."

Dong Chuchu was not surprised at all that her husband cared about his father-in-law. Her husband was what he is today because of his father-in-law. His father-in-law told him everything and she saw how he changed. The position of his father-in-law in her husband's heart is unmatched.

Chang Lian listened to the rumors, "After Yujiao left, this family became deserted again."

"This girl is so happy to be back in Beijing. Look at her letter. Beijing is great in every way. I don't know who this girl is like and how to enjoy herself."

Chang Lian smiled and said, "It's normal for a young child to like the hustle and bustle. He is indeed restrained here."

Dong Chuchu, "From childhood to adulthood, this girl has always loved prosperity and enjoyment."

Chang Lian wiped his nose. His daughter naturally understood. Yu Jiao also liked fancy clothes and jewelry. The eldest daughter and the youngest daughter had completely different personalities.

Chuchu continued, "Luckily we only have two daughters. If we had more, we wouldn't be able to afford the dowry."

Chang Lian was very low-key in Qizhou. His wife had not set up any business, and the two families had no increase in production. "How much money do we have at home? I asked my second brother to help me set up some business. My second brother is the best at making money among us brothers."

Dong Chuchu thought of the gems in the box, "I really didn't expect that the second branch would be the fastest growing in recent years."

Although she did not go back to attend Yu Shuang's wedding, she knew something about the dowry, which was all collected by her second brother and his wife.

Chang Lian also sighed, "My second brother is the most daring one."

After a pause, he continued, "Brother is where he is today thanks to Dad's teachings. Dad is really amazing."

He always remembered what his second brother was like back then.

The next day, at the gate of Zhangzhou, officials from Zhangzhou arrived at the gate. The prefect had come yesterday but was sent back. The prefect had not slept all night and was now standing in the cold wind with bloodshot eyes.

General He, who was transporting supplies, stood in the cold wind with his soldiers, moving slowly.

The prefect of Zhangzhou took a deep breath and stepped forward, "General He, you asked us to come here today. Now that we are here, can you read out the decree?"

General He said coldly, "Wait."

The prefect of Zhangzhou was unlucky, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he could only wait in the cold wind.

It is still difficult for horse-drawn carriages to travel in Zhangzhou City. If officials do not need to leave the city, they will have to wait a few days to transport the snow out. The roads for horse-drawn carriages are not wide now.

The prince was not in a hurry at all. He waited patiently despite the traffic jam. By the time he arrived at the city gate, it was almost noon.

The officials of Zhangzhou who got up early were so cold that their faces turned blue. General He and the soldiers did a good job of keeping them warm, and the prince had notified them in advance, so they were not severely frozen.

When the prefect of Zhangzhou and others saw the carriage leaving the city, the prefect and the judge became even more uneasy. After General He greeted the young man, their minds went blank.

The, the Crown Prince, it’s actually the Crown Prince, not the Prince of Qi at all.

They knew that the prince had gone out of the city at that time, and they were not afraid when they knew that the prince had visited the medicine shop. They did not tamper with the food, and Lu Han's quilt was also distributed. Even if there was indeed a problem with the medicine, they were not afraid. A royal heir who had been living in a high and mighty position in the capital since childhood would not understand these things.

No one present is stupid. The prince is ignoring them on purpose. He must have discovered something.

The magistrate of Zhangzhou was no longer suffering from a headache. He felt black spots in front of his eyes. When he heard General He calling "Minister Zhou", he fell backwards.

Zhou Shuren twitched his lips. Is his power so great?

The Zhangzhou Tongpan trembled. If the prince didn't understand these things, wouldn't the Minister of Revenue understand them? These local officials all knew about the changes in the Ministry of Revenue, and Minister Zhou was well aware of them. The Ministry of Revenue had prices.

The prince's face was icy, "Come here, wake him up for me."

The prince spoke and everyone knelt down. Only then did they realize that the person in front of them was the prince.

The victims watched from a distance, and when they heard the noise they also knelt down.

The prince looked at the old cotton-padded clothes on the victims and said to General He, "Take the cotton-padded clothes and other supplies you brought with you."

Afterwards, the prince called the Tongzhi of Zhangzhou and said, "I have a list of people who need to receive cotton clothes. Take the list and distribute the supplies."

These are the names of people he sent people to investigate. What has he done secretly in the past few days?

Tongzhixin was confused for a moment before he realized what the prince said. He was a newly transferred Tongzhi. He had no involvement in it and was targeted because of his words. When he saw the prince, he thought it was over and he would definitely be angered.

Now he just felt that the opportunity had come, "Yes, I will definitely get it done."

The prince's ears rang, and he was silent for a few seconds. "Go back today and write a new charter for disaster relief."

The other party replied, "Yes."

The judge suppressed his uneasiness and tried to speak, but his voice got stuck in his throat when he met the prince's cold eyes.

The prefect of Zhangzhou also woke up, his head buzzing as if he was frozen.

The prince asked coldly, "Awake?"

The prefect of Zhangzhou got up and kowtowed, "I have failed to deal with the disaster, I know I am guilty."

The prince laughed angrily, "You are still stubborn at this time. Come and see what I have found out."

As he spoke, the prince took the account book handed to him by the guard and threw it in front of the prefect.

The magistrate of Zhangzhou had frozen gloves on, and he shivered for a long time before opening the account book. Every item in the account was particularly clear. There was no need to say anything else, and the account book in his hand fell to the ground.

The prince was too lazy to bother with the prefect of Zhangzhou. He sent a memorial to the capital, asking his father to handle it. The prince indicated that the prefect of Zhangzhou should be kept under custody and those who had not made any mistakes should be rescued immediately.

Zhou Shuren said to Lord Yan, "Look, our prince is very trustworthy!"

This was the first time that Lord Yan saw the Crown Prince handling government affairs. He had only seen the Crown Prince studying. He had reflected a lot in the past few days. "You are right. A monarch is always a monarch. The Crown Prince is a heir apparent who is worthy of the people's support."

In the capital, Zhulan confirmed that she had not heard, "Jiang Ming's eldest daughter came to visit?"
