In the military emergency in the southwest, the salt transportation in Jiangnan proceeded in an orderly manner.
After these past few months of covert interviews, the Fifth Prince had already figured out the various matters regarding the salt luck. He had always been careful when doing things, and there hadn't been any mistakes.
Today, just as he walked to the dock, the Public Office's Assistant Minister Li Han walked towards the Fifth Prince.
"Greetings, Fifth Prince." Li Han bowed towards the Fifth Prince.
The Fifth Prince turned around and looked at Li Han, and then nodded slightly.
He was still young, but he rarely laughed, and rarely was he very happy. Most of the time, he was indifferent and didn't want to say anything to others, as if there was a heavy burden weighing down on his heart.
Li Han glanced at the Fifth Prince, then bowed to him and said, "Fifth Prince, I've received news from the southwest today that the first batch of official salt has already been transported to the southwest. Please do not worry, Fifth Prince."
Hearing Li Han's words, the Fifth Prince nodded, his face revealing a slightly relaxed expression.
They stood together at the edge of the dock, watching the salt transport proceed in an orderly fashion. The Fifth Prince suddenly thought of something and turned to Li Han: "Vice Minister Li, although the official salt have already been transported to the southwest, they have not yet been distributed to the commoners. We cannot let our guard down, we must ensure that everything goes smoothly."
As the Fifth Prince spoke, he humbly nodded at Li Han. "Vice Minister Li, please worry more about this matter."
"Fifth Prince is too courteous, these are all things this humble subject should do." "Fifth Prince, don't worry. This humble subject will surely settle this matter." Li Han bowed towards the Fifth Prince.
He was just about to leave when the Fifth Prince seemed to have thought of something. He called out to Li Han and continued to ask him: "Vice Minister Li, I heard that Southwest has been fighting with the neighboring countries a few days ago. I wonder how the battle situation is now?"
Hearing the Fifth Prince's question, Li Han pondered for a moment and couldn't help but shake his head. This humble subject is far away in Jiangnan and has been busy with matters of salt transportation all day. I really do not understand the military situation in the southwest, I hope that Fifth Prince can forgive me. "
As Li Han spoke, he hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak to the Fifth Prince. "However, Fifth Prince, please be at ease.
After Li Han finished speaking, he left. Only the Fifth Prince remained standing on the riverbank, lost in thought.
Wu Shan had already led a large army and fought in the southwest for three whole months. There were many victories during the war and few defeats, and there were rumors amongst the citizens of the Southwest. They all said that a large general from the Jin Country had arrived and was invincible. Who would have thought that the legendary General Wu Shan who had three heads and six arms was actually an elegant youth with a jade-like face?
"General Wu, the relationship between the Southwest and Jin Country has always been good. It's just that three months ago, a misunderstanding broke out and caused the war between the two countries to rekindle, causing the two countries to be annihilated. I am the Son of Heaven thinks that it is not easy for the citizens to be well, and it is not easy for the two nations to repair it, so I came here with my life, and am willing to repair it with Jin Country. " The envoy cleared his throat, stood in front of Wu Shan and spoke, his face revealing an expression of neither servitude nor arrogance.
Looking at the southwest like this, Wu Shan was actually more pleased than ever in his heart.
He had read a lot of history books since he was young. In his heart, as an envoy of a country, he naturally treated Lin Xiang as he had been in the book, acting in the country of tigers and wolves without fear. He was both wise and brave. He could speak for himself against the court officials, and he had the wisdom to return to his family.
Unlike Wu Shan, Vice General Zhang, who was at the side, was a brute. Upon hearing the envoy's words, he stood there angrily.
Vice General Zhang glanced at the envoy, and said unhappily: "It is your soldiers that are provoking us wantonly, disturbing the common people of Jin Country. Our soldiers could not bear it any longer and had no choice but to send troops to defend ourselves. Even if my family's general were to agree, my army's 100,000 officers wouldn't easily agree to this matter. "
In the end, Vice General Zhang was still worried that Wu Shan was young and not well versed in matters. He was afraid that Wu Shan would waver and easily agree to the envoy, hence he helped Wu Shan speak up.
The envoy standing at the side heard the Vice General Zhang's words and started to panic. He quickly bowed and saluted the Vice General Zhang: "General has been wrongly accused. I am the Son of Heaven has already investigated this matter. A few months ago, the people of your country were disturbed by the bandits that roamed between Jin Country and the two countries in the southwest. A few months ago, the weather was cold, and these robbers had no food, so they went to steal from the houses of the common people. Not only the people of Jin Country, even the people of southwest China were not spared from this. "
He raised his head high and said to the ambassador: "I had originally thought that the ambassador had a great tongue and was able to come up with some different reasoning, but I didn't expect that you, Sir envoy, would work so hard just to send us away with a few words."
Seeing that the Vice General Zhang was unwilling to budge, the envoy standing to the side was somewhat anxious. He raised his head and looked at Wu Shan who was seated on the great hall at the top of the mountain, hurriedly bowed to Wu Shan and said, "This envoy's words are true. I truly do not dare to lie to General Wu.
"General Wu Shan is extremely young, so he naturally understands the principle of happiness. The people suffer, they die, and they suffer. In the war between the two countries, the people and soldiers of both sides suffered the most. Now that the I am the Son of Heaven has decided to end the conversation with the General, I hope that the General will forgive my patriotic love for the and ask General Wu to consider more for the people and soldiers of the Jin Country. " The envoy stood at the side, revealing a sincere expression, and continuously advised Wu Shan.
Vice General Zhang stood to the side, so anxious that he couldn't speak.
Wu Shan did not speak, he only laughed lightly, then waved his hand at the ambassador: "The envoy has already worked hard for the entire day, this matter is extremely complicated, and is not something that can be settled overnight, so I hope that you do not worry, Sir envoy can stay in the army for now, and we can discuss this further in the future."
"General Wu …" The envoy standing at the side naturally could tell that this was Wu Shan's plan to slow down his fighting, and could not help but feel anxious, and quickly walked over and cupped his hands to him as he spoke.
However, before the envoy could finish speaking, Wu Shan had interrupted him. This envoy has always been travel worn out, so I'm sure he's tired now. I've already ordered people to prepare a place for him to stay, and the military is very thin. I hope that he won't mind. "
Wu Shan glanced at Vice General Zhang at the side, then signaled him to bring his envoy down.
