Chapter 2175 Reaching Consensus
King Ji told him to wait until he saw the money before doing anything.
So Wang Xuance showed an expression of distrust towards Pei Ziyu and the others.
"This..." The two hesitated after hearing this, and they also knew that what Wang Xuance said made sense.
In case these people just said it casually to save their lives, the three of them would go to King Ji and report the matter solemnly.
In the end, nothing was left, and King Ji would have to eat the three of them, right?
So Wang Xuance’s concerns were correct.
However, they have some concerns:
"Master Wang, it will take time to gather so much money, not to mention that it will take at least half a month to transport it here.
The longer the trip, the longer it will take, up to two months.
Pei is worried that they can’t wait.”
Prince Ji has already ordered that they be killed, and Pei Ziyu is worried that the people will be gone before the money arrives.
"Don't worry, I have a solution. His Royal Highness Prince Ji is a carefree person, he likes to travel around.
We might as well come up with an idea to spend ten days or half a month on his expenses. After part of the money arrives, we can talk to his highness about this matter.
When His Royal Highness Prince Ji sees the money, he will believe what we said.
What do you think? "
Wang Xuance put forward his own ideas, which he and Li Shen had discussed long ago.
Li Shen had already considered that sending money would take a lot of time.
"This is a good idea. Wang Changshi is indeed resourceful. I admire him." The two of them immediately complimented him after hearing it.
As expected of someone close to His Royal Highness Prince Ji, he is extremely talented, quick-witted, and understands Prince Ji so well.
"Okay, since you two think it's a good idea, then think of a reason to get His Royal Highness Prince Ji out."
Seeing that the two agreed, Wang Xuance then spoke.
"Why don't we let Prince Ji go and wipe out the rebels?" General Li suggested.
But then Wang Xuance looked at him as if he were a fool.
"What's wrong?" General Li was still a little confused.
"I think General Li has gone mad. Letting Prince Ji go and wipe out the rebels? What if something happens to Prince Ji?
All of us in Xizhou Prefecture will be buried with him. By then, even if we take the blame, it won’t be a crime. We will die too.”
Wang Xuance retorted mercilessly.
"Yes, Brother Li, let alone an accident, even if Prince Ji was slightly injured, you and I would be dismissed and exiled.
I heard from my cousin Pei Xingjian that Prince Ji is deeply favored by His Majesty, and His Majesty dotes on Prince Ji even more than the Crown Prince.
If anything happens, not to mention you and me, even our Grand Protector General can't bear the responsibility.
You should also know that the 10,000 soldiers transferred here were not so much reinforcements for Xizhou Prefecture as they were specially sent by His Majesty to protect Prince Ji.
You see, they have never come out of the military camp in Xizhou Prefecture, and they don't obey anyone's orders. Only Prince Ji can dispatch them.
For the sake of our own lives, let’s try another approach.”
Pei Ziyu was also somewhat helpless. He really wanted to scold General Li, but they were colleagues and were now tied together, so he didn't want to say anything too harsh.
Wang Xuance was also looking at General Li and thought to himself, could this be the stupid teammate that His Royal Highness Prince Ji often talks about?
General Li was embarrassed by what the two said. He really hadn't thought of this. He just felt that it would take a long time to suppress the rebels.
However, they did not consider the serious consequences if something happened to Prince Ji.
"Okay, General Li was impatient and did not think it through. I do have a solution. You two might as well listen to it." Wang Xuance came to the rescue.
"I hope Mr. Wang can give me some advice. I am all ears."
Seeing the two people's respectful expressions, Wang Xuance started to work and said:
"In fact, the method is very simple. All the workshops in Prince Ji's mansion have been closed since last year. This time Prince Ji went to the tribe to recruit new craftsmen.
Judging from the time, the recruitment over there should be almost completed.
All Wang has to do is remind His Royal Highness Prince Ji, and His Royal Highness Prince Ji will go to the workshop area. This time Prince Ji did not bring the chief manager, so everything was arranged by him alone.
There are several large workshops in Prince Ji's Mansion. It will take at least half a month, or even longer, to arrange them all.
A lot of money has already arrived, and when His Royal Highness Prince Ji comes back, we will have something to say."
"Good idea, Wang Changshi is really smart."
"Yes, in this way, Prince Ji will only take care of the affairs of Prince Ji's Mansion and will not pay attention to this."
When they heard it, they immediately praised it.
Only Wang Xuance could come up with this idea, as other people don't know about the affairs of Prince Ji's Mansion.
"Okay, in that case, I will go and talk to Prince Ji. As for these criminal officials..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang. We will talk to those people. They are willing to do anything to survive."
Without waiting for Wang Xuance to finish speaking, Pei Ziyu took over the task.
This was all they had planned.
"Okay then, I'll leave that to you two, but you need to ask them to be quick and not waste time. It would be more convenient if they could deliver the gold directly.
I will go to Prince Ji to help delay the situation." Wang Xuance said as he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Then everything depends on Wang Changshi." The two of them stood up together.
"Okay, Wang will take his leave now."
After saying this, Wang Xuance left the governor's mansion. Pei Ziyu and the other man sent Wang Xuance to the gate.
As they watched Wang Xuance's departing carriage gradually disappear, the two men finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Pei, we finally got it done." General Li said.
"Yes, fortunately Wang Xuance is not that pedantic, otherwise he might not have succeeded."
Pei Ziyu also replied with emotion.
Wang Xuance took a carriage back to the office of Prince Ji's Mansion. After reporting to the back house, he was taken in.
In the garden, at the same place as before, Li Shen was talking to two craftsmen.
"I've met the prince."
Wang Xuance stepped forward and saluted.
"You're back? Sit down for a while. I'll finish talking to them first."
Li Shen looked up and said.
Wang Xuance agreed and sat down aside, wanting to see what King Ji was doing.
Li Shen was pointing at a piece of paper on the table and explaining to the two of them.
“The wheels should be wider, not too big, and double-row wheels, so that the ride will be more stable.
Also, we need to add two more layers of spring steel to increase the load capacity. I sent someone back to Chang'an City to get the bearings a few days ago.
Your task now is to build the frame. Especially the wheels, in addition to the ones used on the car, you also need to build a spare set.
The car's frame should also be thickened to make it easier to replace."
"Your Highness, this cart will be very heavy. What do you need it to transport?"
After listening to Li Shen's explanation, one of the craftsmen asked for advice.
(When people are sleepy, their minds are really blank and they can't think of anything.)
