Zhang Ximeng did not force him to take the title of King Cheng, nor did he ask him to disband the Great Zhou Kingdom. Anyway, you can do whatever you want. In the land of Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, our Zhu Jiajun is the boss!

This alone had a huge impact. Zhang Shicheng did not want to agree to it, but Zhu Yuanzhang knocked him out of the shadows with a battle, so he could only agree.

The next step was to establish the Salt Affairs Department, with a 70-70 split between the two sides, and Zhang Shicheng became a beggar on his knees.

Zhang Ximeng not only lost face, but also lost face.

There are other matters such as commerce, trade, taxation, etc., but they were only agreed upon in general terms without going into details... In fact, there was no way to go into details. Under Zhu Yuanzhang, the management was on the right track, but Zhang Shicheng was in a mess.

No matter how much we talk, it's meaningless.

Therefore, it was only agreed that goods coming out of Huaixi and entering under Zhang Shicheng's rule would not be taxed...

Of course, Zhang Ximeng did not just take advantage, but also gave Zhang Shicheng a little sweetener, that is, from now on, Huaixi will provide Zhang Shicheng with some grain aid every year, but Zhang Shicheng must purchase the grain at 20% higher than the market price.

When Zhang Shicheng heard about the food, he immediately became energetic. Let alone 20%, even double it would be fine!

The land of Huaidong, which had just been ravaged by hundreds of thousands of Yuan troops, was extremely short of food, and Gaoyou City was about to eat people.

Zhu Jiajun was able to give them some food, and finally his heart was not completely dark.

I can still get along with this friend!

Zhang Shicheng was overjoyed, but in the end both parties had to formally sign a covenant, drink blood together, and make sacrifices to heaven and earth. Only then could the ceremony be completed.

Zhang Ximeng was very sorry to tell Shi Naian.

"I'm sorry. Just yesterday, there was a sudden military situation. My lord has already led the troops and left."

"What?" Shi Naian was shocked. Why did he leave? What about this covenant?

"Mr. Shi, don't worry. We keep what we say and our covenant remains. I have arranged for five thousand shi of grain to be transported from Yangzhou. If King Cheng needs to send troops to assist, I will notify you."

After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he ordered contact and encirclement, set up camp, and returned to Yangzhou in batches... He walked so neatly.

At the top of Gaoyou City, Zhang Shicheng looked at the direction in which Zhu Jiajun was hurried away, and suddenly figured out something!

"Liar! Big liar! Zhu Chongba has obviously left long ago! They are so shameless!"

At this moment, Zhang Shide, Zhang Shixin and others suddenly realized that they had been besieged by a group of captives and soldiers for several days!

What a shame!

"Your Highness, we can't bear it anymore, let us kill him!" Everyone was filled with indignation.

Zhang Shicheng gritted his teeth, clenched and relaxed his fists several times, and finally sighed helplessly, "We have no food!"
Chapter completed!
