Chu Ze had a dull face and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, we can't hear it anyway."

Li Xing had a panoramic view of this scene.

Naturally, he didn't miss the eagerness and greed in Zuo Chong's eyes.

He shook his head and laughed, thinking that they were indeed a family. Zuo Ying and Zuo Chong's desire for money was exactly the same.

Those who don’t know must think how poor they are.

In fact, he is extremely rich.

Seeing Chu Ze doing evil, he couldn't help but want to get involved: "That's right, Chu Ze is the prince now, and I can't say enough good things. Who can't think about it so much, dare to say that he is petty?"

Chu Ze pointed at Li Xing and nodded "hmm", indicating that he was right.

Zuo Chong: "...Whether he is right or not, in short, we have solved the problem for you, you have to help us. Reciprocity is our Chinese tradition."

Zuo Chong held on to Chu Ze's sleeve.

Today he had to let Chu Ze agree.

Seeing him like this, Chu Ze couldn't help laughing.

He patted the back of Zuo Chong's hand soothingly and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely accomplish what we promised you."

"But now, we have more important things to do."

Chu Ze pulled Zuo Chong's hand away, called Zhao Si, and asked him to take Zuo Chong down to rest.

Zuo Chong did not refuse.

In three days, the food must be prepared and delivered to Hengyang.

Chu Zeke gave him a lot of problems.

He had barely slept a wink these past few days.

I was extremely sleepy at this time.

Zuo Chong followed Zhao Si and left. Chu Ze turned to Li Xing and said, "Let's go to the warehouse and take stock of the supplies."

Li Xing followed him to the warehouse.

On the way, Li Xing said: "The letter you wrote was for him?"

"Correct."

Chu Ze's speed was still the same. When he heard Li Xing's words, he didn't even turn around. He responded smoothly and explained to Li Xing: "Now, there is no food in the national treasury, so we can only spread the idea to the people." .”

Rich businessmen like Zuo Chong must have a lot of grain in their hands.

As long as these grains are used, Hengyang City will not worry about running out of food.

And this requires someone to run it.

What others do may not work well.

But Zuo Chong must be fine.

He is a businessman and has advantages that others do not have in the market.

As long as he moves, people who cooperate with him will naturally move too.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting behind him.

Isn’t the food readily available?

That's why he sent the memorial and the letter together.

Try to get them ready as soon as possible.

When Chu Ze walked to the temporary warehouse, he didn't even look at it. He directly grabbed the person in charge and asked, "How much inventory is there in the warehouse?"

The person in charge immediately brought the account book and explained it to Chu Ze one by one.

After hearing this, Chu Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

With these things, the people of Hengyang City don't have to worry about going hungry for a month or so.

"What about one month later?" Li Xing asked at the right time.

Chu Ze looked back at Li Xing and said with a smile: "Do you still remember the 'Eight Hundred Miles of Dongting' we talked to you about before?"

"of course I remember."

Li Xing not only remembered this, he also remembered Chu Ze's saying, "Huguang is familiar with it, and the world is sufficient", and he also said that this sentence should be realized in advance.

Although he didn't know what the phrase "realize in advance" meant, he understood the previous words.

"But no matter how quickly the rice matures, it will still take several months, right?"

The grain reserves are only enough for one month. What will the people eat in the next few months?

You can't really eat wild vegetables.

Chu Ze didn't know that he was thinking about wild vegetables again, otherwise Gao Luo would give him a middle finger.

Chu Ze returned the account book to the person in charge, turned around and said to Li Xing: "Otherwise, why do you think we called Zuo Chonglai?"

Just by collecting food, Zuo Chong can play a certain role.

But it’s not impossible to force them. In order to save more people, Chu Ze believed that Zhu Yuanzhang was capable of forcibly requisitioning food.

Li Xing was confused.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Chu Ze had no choice but to explain: "Let me tell you, we have already thought of your worries and have already thought of ways to deal with them. In short, don't ask now, you will know when the time comes."

They had just walked out of the warehouse when a figure hurried over from the other side of the street.

Stopped in front of Chu Ze.

Chu Ze glanced at this person. Isn't this the guard next to Zhu Ping?

"Aren't you following His Highness? What are you doing here?" Could it be that Zhu Xi was in some trouble?

These days, when they were rescuing disasters in Hengyang City, Zhu Xi focused on looking for Zhu Xi, and salvaged the bodies of victims or victims they met. Although they had never met since entering Hengyang City, they Everyone knows that the other party is busy for Hengyang.

Chu Ze was worried about whether Zhu Ping could persist.

He was ready for Zhu Ping to come for help at any time.

Unexpectedly, this person never came to him for help.

On the contrary, it helped a lot.

Now that guards were suddenly sent here, Chu Ze couldn't help but worry.

The guard shook his head after hearing this.

"Not His Highness."

He must have been running all the way. The guard was a little out of breath at this time, and his speech was not very steady. He said intermittently: "It's His Majesty the Fifth. His Majesty the Fifth has been found."

The worry that Chu Ze had been holding finally dropped.

"Great!"

In addition to the situation of the people these days, Chu Ze is most worried about Zhu Rui.

The longer time went by, the more worried he became.

Fortunately, there is finally news about him.

"Then why are you still standing there? Take us there quickly." Without the guards to lead the way, Chu Ze took the lead and walked in the direction from which the guards came.

Li Xing followed closely behind.

The guards quickly caught up with him.

"How is he doing?" Chu Ze asked the guard on the way.

The guard replied: "The prince was lucky. After being washed away by the water, he encountered a big tree and was rescued later. It's just..."

Hearing these two words, Chu Ze's heart was lifted.

His fingers trembled slightly and he asked, "Just what?"

The guard's expression was a little complicated and a little regretful.

Finally he sighed heavily.

Then, Chu Ze heard the guard say——

"Your Majesty, one of his legs is broken."

Chu Ze paused, then breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, okay."

It's just a broken leg, no big problem.

At least his life was saved.

With this idea in mind, Chu Ze followed the guards to the location where Zhu Rui was found.

This is a small hut in the mountains.

There is a lot of water under the mountain, but there is peace on the mountain.

Not even a straw on the roof was affected by the water.

Standing at the door and looking down the mountain, it seems like two worlds.

And Zhu Rui is in this small courtyard.

The outside of the courtyard was full of people.

These people were all brought out by Zhu Xi to look for Zhu Xi.

When Chu Ze saw them, he knew that the two Zhu brothers must be inside.

He strode inside.

As soon as he walked to the door, he heard Zhu Ping's suppressed crying voice from inside: "Don't worry, our Ming Dynasty has many capable people, and they will definitely be able to cure your legs. Even if they can't, there is Chu Ze, he will definitely be able to. You can find a way..." At this point, Zhu Ping's voice suddenly broke off.

Chu Ze guessed that he was crying.

Alas, this kid, why are you crying now that you know they are there?

He could still watch Zhu Rui become disabled for the rest of his life.

Chu Ze opened the door and walked in. (End of chapter)
